acknowledged even by would-be

tion to do better for you than others

ter acquainted with what the trade
desires. We have the only stock of
Dress Goods in Americus selected

New York where he spent several
weeks in the interest of our Dress

so ms T-reildenti* Trousan-
Some men are born for trousers, oth
ers achieve trousers and others have
trousers thrust upon them. Who that
ever saw President Arthur can forget
the beautiful -folds of his trousers?
Neither large nor email, with no bag
ging at the knee, but falling gracefully
upon his shoe they were indeed beautiful
to behold. Such trousers were not sim
ply doe to the tailor’s art. They showed
his natural affinity for trousers, and
while the experiment might have been
attended with danger, there is, nererthe-
leee, a strong probability that Mr. Ar
thur would have made a pair of Bowery
"hand-me-downs” look quite respectable.
Of all the presidents of modem times he
was the best clothed as to his nether
garments.
Hie great predecessor, Gen. Garfield,
achieved trousers. His tailor was good,
the cloth was in good taste, but the
wearer gave Uttle attention to the mat
ter, and even appeared in public once in
trousers frayed at the heel. Hayes'
trousers were barely respectable, while
Gen. Grant was utterly indifferent to
hie. Trousers were thrust upon him.
Be really had no taste for them.
President Harrison’s trousers are re
spectable and good always, bnt they are
foil of wrinkles and of so conservative
a color as to be nonentities in the trouser
world, and President Cleveland's legs
were incased in broadcloth of a stiffness
and newness of appearance that showed
a woeful subordination of the wearer to
the tender mercies of the tailor. Tlds
is a fata) mistake. A man’s trousers
shouljl show the combined thought of
the wearer aud the tailor. Neither can
accomplish them successfully alone.
Kwl Estate Deal.
Real estate trade is ploking up, and ie
much brisker than it has been for some
time. Several trades of some Impor
tance have trabsplred this week, and:
others of great size are said to be on)
tapis. A mericus real estate 1* always'
desirable the people here and else-
whert appreciate this fact
A Mew Finn.
Messrs. G. W. Brunner A C. C. Mlnter
have formed a partnership, and have be
gun business as merchandise broken.
Both are well up in business affairs, and
are enterprising and industrious. The
new firm will doubtless meet with much
success.
We keep the heal Paint we can get.
If not satisfactory when put on we will
repaint the house at our expense.

Mammies Mud"Muhamiurctan«.
One night I visited the Metropolitan
Museum of Art for the purpose of exam
ining somn oi the antiques exhibited
there, and 1 took a look at the mummied
cats, in which my little son, who was
with me. is especially interested. Very
solemn and ghastly are the swathe-l and
silent tabbies, who perhaps gamboled
around the feet of Moses and of Pba
tuoh'e daughter, and it struck me in
looking at them'that the Egyptians of
8,000 years ago were a little ahead of tbe
Mow York of today in their devotion to
birds and quadrupeds.
Something of this veneration for the
brute creation has been transmitted to
the Mohammedan of the east, who per
mit! neither cats nor dogs to be slain,
but provides meals and quarters for
them. A learned pundit of that persua
sion once expressed to the late 8. & Cox,
when minister to Turkey, his surprise
that a Society for the Prevention of Cru
elty to Animals should be needed in a
Christian country. Our brilliant “Sun
set” wss not usually at a leas for words
either to conceal or express an idea, but
on this occasion he oonfasrod that he
was rented by the unspeeksbls Turk,
and had to take refuge in the assertion
that this was the work of the Blavateky
sect of Buddhists. It is just possible
that the gentle Turk believed him, but
Mr. Cox was always of the opinion that
he did not—New York Letter.
Selling Tobacco la Dsavlll*.
It is an interesting sight to see the
hundreds of covered tobacco ' wagon*
come to market Large ware houses are
ready to offer every inducement to farm
er* to *ell their load. Driveway* lead
to the great floors where tbe load i* as
sorted in piles according to grade, hav
ing been weighed first while on the
truck. Each pile ie tagged with the
name of the owner and the weight,
with a place for the buyer’s name and
price. Many farmers remain over night,
for they arrive at all hoars of the day
and night- Free stables and other ordi
nary comforts are provided.
There are ten ware houses in Danville,
N. C. They are divided into two aeries
of five each, and public sales are con
ducted in two at the earns time. Under
the direction of the Tobacco Exchange
the orderof sales is arranged. Placard*
are posted at different points, “First sale
at Neal’s,” “Second sale at Acne’s,” and
so on, each ware house taking its assigned
turn until all five have sold out—first to
day, the last to-morrow. Each ware
house has its own auctioneer, clerks,
and most of the firms buying having
two sets of buyers to attend on the two
circuits.—Cor. Washington Post
CompreMod Air Torpedo.
Still another torpedo, this one the in
vention of an Austrian count Buona-
corsi by name, has made its appearance
in the European naval and military
world. According to official and private
reports of the trials of this instrument
they were eminently successful, giving
results superior even to those obtained
from the Whitehead. The motive power
is compressed air, acting directly from a
reservoir upon the propeller without any
assistance or intervention from machin
ery. The propulsion is effected by twin
screw* working inversely and giving a
velocity greater and more continuous, it
is contended, than any obtained in other
torpedoes. One remarkable feature of
this invention is the faculty of auto
matic guidance, which enablea it to
avoid protective nets and shields, and to
dive any distance before rising to give
its blow.—Exchange.
Tli® Tlta® to Gather Flowers.
Do not gather flowers while the sun is
shining upon them, but choose instead
the early morning, or the hour after the
son has gone down. Avoid pulling or
tearing from the plant; ent with ifaiup
adreors or a knife, and in the case of
varieties having a Urge stalk or atom
rub a little dirt over the wound. Al
ways leave at long a item as possible,
not to interfere with other buds or blos
soms.—John Richards in Jenness-Miller
