You have heard a jrreat deal about the advance on Carpets in consequence of the McKinley bill, and the half has hardly been tola; but my opposition to a protective tariff leads me to do aU that I can to lessen the burdens it imposes, and I am determined to sell von Carpets AS LOTY AS Y<5UEVER BOUGHT THEM, REGARD LESS OF THE TARIFF. To enable me to do this I sell for CASH, and at MUCH SHORTER PROFITS than I could do on a CREDIT. I will take great pleasure in showing my Carpets to everybody. J. J.

A graveyard ealmnese pervaded everything, and the wheels of business were hushed for one day. The stores almost without exception closed their doors and tnraed their employes loose. Tbe fields were full of sports men and the slaughter of sparrows and buzzards is said to be without a parallel, Divine services were held at the Presby terian ohurch, under the guidance of Bev. J. B. Johnstone. The remarks were timely and appropriate, the minis ters dwelling in a beautiful manner on the occasion for the observance, and alladlngtolte gracious tendencies and benign influences. The choir comprised some fine voices and the music was exceptionally bean ttfuL Altogether the day was spent in a ' pleasant, profitable way, refreshing the tired workers and inviting to renewed energies and determination.

They found a true bill against one of the negro murderers, who now stands a chance of stretching hemp. Of the 870,220 children of school age in Louisiana only 85,o00 attend tbe pah- lie schools, and many of those go bat one month. AN AERONAUTIC EXCURSION. Professor Odell Will Give an Exhibition To-day at Three O'clock. Into thin air! ( That’s the hammer! Professor Odell, an aeronaut of no small renown, will give a balloon ascen sion to-day at 3 o’clock sharp. The balloon will be Inflated with hot air and the ascension will take place from the open court in front of the city hall. After soaring aloft for 3,000 feet, the Professor will take the parachute leap In full view of tbe assembled spec tators. For three hundred feet tbe parachute will dart through the air, when the can vas will spread and the descent will be gradual and comfortable. Saturday week a girl, 14 years old, will ascend with a dog, descending by the parachute. These exhibitions will continue for a week, and will be witnessed by hun dreds. Order of the Golden Chain. Mr: S. H. Hlekleberry daring hie can vas for the Order of the Golden Chain in this oity has succeeded beyond hit most sanguine expectation. On next Tuesday night the lodge will bo formally opened at Odd Fellows’ Hall, and Amer icas with 100 members is only a short way behind Atlanta. This order le one of peoullar advan tages, and there le little doubt that It will grow to large proportions. tat to To the finish! Lively competition! A diamond ring tbe award! One of tbe choice features of tbe programme is the vote for the prettiest girl In Amerleus, and the successful will receive a handsome diamond ring. These contests always awaken a world of rivalry, and every fellow le entbusl aetio In behalf of his "beet girl." The voting promises to bo extremely interesting for various reasons. It Is rumored that Mir.es Nannie Lou Hawkins, Jennie Hollis, Hattie Windsor Mamie' Callaway and A in >ret Gray are the favorites, but even this bevy beautiful young ladies had better look to their laurels for others In Americas are both popular and pretty. The polls close on Saturday ni ght 10 o’clock and it only costs ten cents cast a ballot. It costs no payment of taxes to qualify a voter, although it taxes the discrimi, natlng powers to decide between the numberlesss varieties of beauty. Show your loyalty to your queen of hearts by polling a hundred ballots for her if your puree will admit of It. The prize drill last night was a bright feature and elicited great enthusiasm among the many admirers of the soldier boys. The contest was a warm one, re sulting in the medal being awarded to Mr. Tom Stallings. In the raffle for tbe doll, No. 75 or Mr. Will Lanier drew It. Mr. Lanier made gift of it to hie little sister, Miss Bessie Lanier, who was charmed with the handsome little wax lady. After the fair closed for last night dancing was indulged in to a late hour.

ROYAL IS THE Best Baking Powder The Official Government Reports: The United States Government, after elaborate tests, reports the Royal Baking Powder to be of greater leav ening strength than any other. (Bulletin 13, Ag. Dep.y p. 599.; The Canadian Official Tests, recendy made, show the Royal Baking Powdbr highest of all in leavening strength. (Bulletin 10, p, 16, Inland Rev. Dep.) In practical use, therefore, the Royal Baking Powder goes further, makes purer and more perfect food than any other. - Government Chemists Certify: “The Royal Baking Powder is composed of pure and whole some ingredients. It docs not contain either alum or phosphates, or other injurious substances. Edward G. Love, Ph.

Finest Plano In Sonthwmt Georgia In a Damon Boms. Dawson Is certainly one of the most musiosl towns In the state. 'Represents- Uve« of musical instrument houses have worked It for all It Is wprtb, and have E laced an organ or piano in nearly every ouse. Of late there baa been quite a rivalry among onr beat citixens as to who should have the fineat Instrument in the city, and the manufacturers have been pat to their trumps to get up something fine enough to fill the orders. At Isst Dr 1 W. C. Paschal has capped the climax, as It were, and takes the blue ribbon. He has just received from Sobmer A Co , Nsw York, through their southern agents, Messrs. James Flicker A Bro., of Americus, the finest and most elegant piano ever seen In this section. Prof. D. Lockhart, manager of the musical de partment of Flicker Bros., ordered the piano and aided in getting up this spe cial style for this special occasion. It Is 7J octave, cabinet grand, over strung scale, three stringed repeating action, very handsomely carved, speoial rich design of case In white ash, with Hun-, garian ash trimmings. It produces the greatest volume of sound and the softest and sweetest tones of any instrument in this whole section, and le so beautiful that the ear and eye are at once eharmed and enchanted Dr. Pasebal paid Sl,600 for this piano, and considers it one of tbe best bargains of his life. To sit in his elegant parlor and hear his charming daughter, Miss Lora—for whom he purchased the in strument-play some ol her choice se lections of music, makes a man feel like he la nearer Heaven than be ever was before.—Dawaon News.

This company played a matinee Thursday and held the boards at the opera house Thursday night "Starlight?* was the play, but the stars failed to materialize, and by gaslight a largo and refined audience gazed upon what only' can be truthfully termed questionable feminine beanty. The plot was neither brought out by 'Starlight" nor gaslight It was a gen eral merry-go-around with no beginning or ending. Jarbean possesses no merit as an ao- tress. She can neither sing nor dance, and as a hlgh-kleker, according to her own French standard, the will not paas muster. No woman can win fame as a soubrette without a sweetly-toned, melodious voiee. Jarbean’* voice la harsh, not oven possessing the eweet French ac cent which renders the women of her nationality so bewltobing. In tights she poses well and must stage it on her shape alone. The comedy-farce waa excellent, and the beautiful rich tenor voice of Harry P. Clark was tbe pleasurable feature of the play. Misa May Baker, as Luoy, won the au dience by her sweet ringing and waa the favorite of the several pretty women of the oompany, who appeared In tights, and of course delighted the (esthetic.
