A Sad Death.
William W. Guerry,better known
among his intimates as “no armed
Bill,” died at his residence in this
city at 3 o’clock a. m. Wednesday.
He had been ill for about ten days
with a large carbuncle, which form
ed on the back of bis head and
finally spread all over his system.
At toe age of ten years he lost both
his hands in a cane mill, which was
owned by Matthew Bolton, but
notwithstanding this he grew to
manhood, married and supported
a large family. He has served as
bailiff, coroner and public auc
tioneer for many years, and was
much esteemed by all classes. He
served a term as Assistant Chief of
the fire department and was one of
the founders of Mechanics fire com-
pany, and at ono time Assistant
Foreman. At the time of bis death
Mr. Guerry was forty-two years
of age, a man of handsome phy
sique, and of a very agreabie dis
position. Everybody liked Bill
Guerry.
His remains were interred with
firemanic honors at 4 o'clock p. M.
Wednesday. In common with bis
many friends wo mourn bis un
timely taking off, and tender our
sincerest sympathies to the be
reaved family.

find this an easy method of getting
rid of them at a fair price. People
in search of bargains will doubtless
be able to secure them at the auction

Owing to the inclemency of the

“Here’* trouble for the boys,”
said Joe Roney, yesterday, aa be
laid the copy on onr desk for a
change in his big advertisement.
“We’ve stood this thing about
long enough,” he continued, “we
are too generous to charge a man
five cents for something we could
sell for four by a pinch, and so we
have done considerable pinching,
and down goe* the prices of gro
ceries and provisions accordingly.
You can just say to the people of
this country that we are going to
sell the goods. We don’t advertise
anything that we won’t do. When
we say that we will sell you 13
pounds of granulated sugar for
$1.00, we mean It.”
“How do you like the cash busi-
ness?’’ wo asked.
“Splendid! finest business in
the land, no books to keep, no one
to dun, no wondering where the
money is going to come from to
pay the grounds, everything se
rene, cheap, and lovely and safe as
a bank. Of course there isn’t as
much profit in it as there is ia the
old way, but It relieves you of so
much responsibility. When you
buy goods and tell the man you are
buying from that you pay spot
cash, he ia going to mark things
down mighty low to get your or
der. Spot cash gets goods cheap
and sella thorn cheap. When we
began the cash system ttul first of
last year we expected uphill work,
but instead we find it perfeetly sat
isfactory to everybody. It pays a
planter to borrow money and pay
interest on it in order lo buy his
groceries for cash.”
“Are yonr sales as large as you
thought they would be f”
“Larger, a great deal. By our
cash system we are enabled to sell
small quantities as cheap as large
ones. When a buyer finds out
that he in getting his gooi’s cheap,
he don’t objeet to paying for them,
and often boys enough at one time
to last him a month or more, in
order to save coming to town.”
“How about the penny?” we
asked, as he started out.
“Just as good as gold now, and
twice as bandy. Everybody takes
them, and they are found to be use
ful, although not ornamental. Yes,
the penny is fixed.”
A Wonderful Discovery.
Consumptives and all wno suffer
from any affection of the Throat
and Lungs, can find a certain onre
in Dr. King’s New Discovery for

this statement. No medicine oan
show sucli a record'of wonderful
cures. Thousands of once hopeless

they owe tbeir lives to this New
Discovery. It will cost you noth

Shooting in Albany.
From our correspondent in Al*
bany we get the following particu
lars of a shooting which occurred
Monday nignt:
Mr. Wrn. Hays, an employe of
the S. F. & W. R. R., has been
suspeoted by bis wife for some time
of being rather too intimate with a
handsome young damsel of noto
rious character. About a month
ago bis wife gave bim a sound flog
ging, but that did not satiafy the
truant husband and he continued
his clandestine interviews. Last
night arming herself with a pistol
she proceeded to find the said Miss
Cunningham. Coming npon them
both she at once opened fire, one
ball passed Miss C’s. head, the next
in the arm. Her hnsband was then
marched home. The woman will
die. The matter will undergo legal
investigation.
Very Remarkable Discovery.
Mr. Geo. V. Willing, of Manches
ter, Micb., writes: “My wife has
been almost helpless for five years,
so helpless that she could not tarn
over in bed alone. She need two
Bottles of Electric Bitters, and it
so much improved, that she is now
able to do her own work.”
Electric Bitten will do all that
is claimed for them. Hundreds of
testimonials attest tbeir great cura
tive powers. Only fifty cents a
bottle at Dr. E. J. Eldridge’s.
The authorities had a lively time
after some female criminals of the
colored persuasion Monday.
At the Sheriff’s sale, Tuesday, an
iron safe brought fifty-six dollars.
