Always study the interests of their patrons, and appreciating the tect that the increase in the price of cotton comes a trifle late to benefit a majority of the producers, the consumers will realize large benefits if they will make their purchases at the old reliable New York Store.

ROCK BOTTOM FIGURES ON- EVERYTHING Want -AT THK- New York Store, The Leading Dry Goods Establishment el Sonlh- West Georgia. - JULIUS L. MACK, - - - Manager* (From our Regular ('orrvspoutlcnt.) Washington, Nov. 15.—Up to the present time it liae tu-en thought that the only contest over the offi ces of the House would be in the doorkeepership. It Is Kenerally conceded that Donelson, the pres ent incumbent, will be defeated for re-election, owing to the many ene mies he has made in distributing tlie patronage of his office. Those who are nsualfy well posted have thought that the opposition which existed at one time toward General ('lark, the present clerk, has been dissipated and that he would sue ceed in securing the place for another terra without much diffi culty. This impression received some color from the fact that no other candidate for the clerkship is known to have been actively en gaged In canvassing for votes artiong the members-elect. It has just been discovered, however, that there is another candidate in tho Held and that he has done some very etTec- tive work in bis own behalf. This candidate is Mr. William Raines, of Rochester, N. Y., a brother of Htate Senator Raines, who is well- known to every Democrat in the State of New York. It is said that Mr. Raines has been so successful in bis canvass that he will enter the caucus with the support of tlie entire New York Democratic dele gation at his bark, and that he will also have a number of the New England and Western members. There has been not a little sur prise at tlie procrastination the President shows In the appointment of an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court Various reasons have been given for tlie delay. Public opinion lias set tled down into the belief that Seere- tary Lamar will be invested with tlie judicial robes whenever the ap pointment Is made. A very promi nent Republican Senator asked an acquaintance the other day—who happened, to have very friendly personal relations witli Mr. Lamar —to assure the Mississippi philoso pher that the Henate Judiciary Committee would lie in favor of confirming him at once, probably without the usual reference, and the Senator said bespoke from posi tive information. The Justiees of of the Supreme Court are nearly all of the opinion that Mr. Lamar will be their new colleague; in fact, I am told that the President himself has given one of them this informa tion. The most plausible reason I have heard for the delay in this ap pointment is that the President wished Mr. Lamar to finish certain matters of routine duty in which lie has been engaged, and prepare his annual report before leaving the Cabinet. It is also repirted that the appointiueut will be made very soan after the meeting of Con gress. The letter of Secretary Lamar to I-and Commlssloaer Sparks was tlie prevailing topic of conversation in the Interior Department Satur day, and the probable outcome was generally discussed. Secretary La mar was at Ills office early in the day attending to business. He said that he has received no reply from Mr. Sparks. It seems to lie the opinion that Mr. Sparks will, in response to the letter of the Secreta ry, hand in his resignation although some think that he will not resign and will compel his removal. Tlie statement is made that Secretary I-aniur and Postmaater General Vilas were hi conference with tlfe President last week, and It is be lieved that the letter was the aul»- ject considered. This, taken in con nection with the rumored transfer of Mr. Vilas to the luterior Depart ment in the event of the confirma tion of Secretary Lamar as justice of the Supreme Court, indicates a purpose on the part of the Adminis tration to clear the way foe Mr. Vlas when he assumes chargegof the Department. The Senate committee, of which Mr. Cockrell is chairman, is busily engaged in searching the Executive Departments for information to sub mit to the Senate at the coming ses sion. The report will include detailed statements of all the bureaus, show ing the number of employes in each, their pay, the amount of woikdone, etc. It is now said that the com mit- tee will recommend the construction of additions! public buildings in Washington; that the members of the committee in tlie course of their Inquiries have ascertained that the public business is suffering for the wsnt of adequate and proper accom modations, and that economy dic tates the early construction of such buildings as are required Instead of renting, as Is now done. Lxxox, Over-Worked Women. For “worn-out," run-down," de bilitated school teachers, milliners, seamtresses, housekeepers, and over-worked women generally, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is tlie best of all restorative tonics.

It Is a powerful, general as well as uterine, tonic and nervine, and imparts vigor and strength to the whole sys tem.
