The pedestal being erected on
Bed toe’s Island, in Now York Bay,
for the Bartholdi atatue is not pro.
greasing very rapidly, but the esti
mates of its cost are growing day
by day. It was at first estimated
that the pedestal oould be built aud
tbe statue placet! in position for
$350,000. The committee in
charge of the work has only sue-
, ceedcil in raising $140,000 Irom all
sources, and work done so far has
-cost $10,000. Now ihey say the
.granite alone fur the whule struct
ure will cost $380,000, tbe concrete
$30,000 more, and the laying o( the
stone $00,000, not to mention oilier
items of im|Nirtancv. Thu great
increase in the estimates it enough
to throw suspicion on the managers
of the atlnlr, and contributions to
complete tho work will not flow in

big jobs are being worked out of

and Mgj. Brimberry both wanted
to be delegates, and both claim a

Clark baa boon going about tbe

In some sections he baa induced

but thua far lie has escaped arrest.
Clark lias no doubt duped many
negroes into believing that he Is a
person of some importance, but the
sensible negroes see and feel that

that bis incendiary harangue*, if
they have any influence nt all, can
only lead to trouble. In Sanders*
villa one day last week the negroes
held a public meeting and |taased
resolutions severely denouncing
Clark and advising their race to

on 38tli Inst., Mrs. Sallie Nelson,

was drooping under the pressure
of old age, died suddenly of a con
gestive chill. As she was nn cs-

Mr. G. C. Walker, that renowned
and worthy school teacher, who
boa been leaching a large and in-
tercsting school nt St. John’s Acad-
cmy, ended his school on the night
of the 38th, with a nice concert.
Prof. Walker is a humorous aud
jolly fellow, and is the “highest’’
school teacher in Macon county,
which, of course, renders him suc
cessful in his profession. As it
justly deserves it, I must speak a
few words in regard to the concert.
At (even o'clock the house was
thronged with the patrons of tbe
school, whoso pleasant smile* indi
cated that they appreciated their
school. Presently the curtains were
raised and the sweet, loving and
soft melodies of the feminine voices
rang in tbe ears of the spectators
singing the “opening" song. Next
were the "Twelve Months," acted
by twelve pupils, which created
much laughter and considerable
cheering. Next wee played "School
Boy” wbiob was * success. Next
was a tableau, “Tbe Gipsy'* Wan

of aIt|8outbern States. A negro'

As much us change of weath
er necessitates a chnnge of wear
ing apparrel, so it is equally
necessary to change the adver
tisement in business if the same
requires it. My fisrt mention
that l had been to New York
and bought the cheapest stock
ol' goods, and my promise to
sell them at "Bargain Prices,”
has met with a much better
success than expected. Thank
ful for this patronage and being
spurred by this altogether fa-
vorahlu and profitable result, 1
have decided to visit NcwYork
and the Northern markets next
month (when the wholesale
business then is at a standstill,)
to purchase again such goods
at bargains that can be used
and arc wanted by my citizens
here. To accomplish this I
have determined to sell the re
mainder of my stock at still
lower prices than heretofore of
feted. Come and he convinced
that I will do exactly what I say.
