Y—I intended to have given you a carefully
prepared advertisement for display in our
usual space this morning, but have ;been un
able to do it, for the reason, that not with
standing our force has worked day and night
during the entire week, yet our store is
crowded to over-flowing with numerous un
opened cases containing the choicest styles
of
COTTON CONTINUES
DOWNWARD COURSE,

House Furnishings,
Etc.
all of which must be opened and marked up—
or rather MARKED DOWN, before we can
take care of the crowd which usually comes
our way after special advertisement in the
Times-Recorder.
We have already opened, however, a per
fectly gorgeous display of early fall Dress
Goods, Separate Skirt and Waist materials.
Outing Flannels, Figured Satines, Printed
Ducks, Percales and numerous other popular
fabrics, which at the attractive prices mark
on all should insure for us a busy week this of
selling.
Our new Carpets, Rugs and Mattings;
Chemlle and Derby Tapestry, Portieres and
Table Covers, have also been opened, and you
would be surprised at the low prices which
our experience and'opportunity enables us
to offer on all.
I am going to write you next week the
promised advertisement, which will contain
many promises to our friends, and customers,
and it will become my privilege and pleasure
to see that every promise made is faithfully
carried out. Very truly yours.

Of Last Week.

MANY CANDIDATES FOR HONORS
As cotton dealers here predicted, the
contract market continaed yes
terday the downward course it has been
pursuing for nearly a week, and the
price of spots tumbled as well.
Opening at a decline of fonr to six
points, it dropped lower still nntil a
net loss of a dozen points had been
scored. Fluctuations were slight,
however, and with a final rally at the
finish quotations for the favorite
months went baek to the opening fig-
nres of the morning.
It was a dragging market, however,
throughout the day
Americas bayers were not flash of
orders, as they have been heretofore,
owing to the indisposition of exporters
aad mill men to buy cotton at the
present prices.
Receipts at the warehouses were
good yesterday, aggregating 412 bales,
and prices ranged as high as 10{ cents
for the best grades though an eight
less was the ruling price. Now York
spots were quoted at only 10} cents,
and prices here are about in accord
therewith.
Some here do not think the decline
has qnite ended.
Many farmers here yesterday sold at
prevailing prices, some selling the
same cotton at 10} cts. that they re
fused 10} cts. for a week ago. These
did not care to take chances on a far
thnr slump and sold at the decline. It
may go lower—
And then it may not. The chances
are that it will for the present

weeks, and am now a well man. I know

PROF. MILLER MADE PRINCIPAL
Was Elected Last Night by Board
Education.
1’rof, Miller, of Thomasville, one of
the best educators in south Georgia,
will he principal of Fnrlow High
School, vice Prof. N. C. Miller, re
signed. At the meeting of the Board
of Education last night Prof, Miller
wus elected, and it is understood will
soon assume his duties hero. It is
teamed that the others whoso names
were mentioned for the place were
Prof. McNair, of Twiggs county, Prof,
Yoang, of Cuthbert, Prof. Scroggs, of
Fort Valley, and Prol. Noyes of this
City.
While the oity primary for the nom
ination ot Mayor and Aldermen is still
some time off the average aspirant for
honors, believing in the "early bird”
theory, is already npon the hustings
and greets his old friend, the voter,
with more than usnal cordiality. He
feels that he may need him.
And be certainly will if he stays in
to the finish.
This year Amerions will elect a may
or, three members of the Aldermanio
board and a olerk and treasurer, and
there will be no lack of aspirants for
some of these places.
It is nnderstood that Mayor Hixon,
who has been thrice elected to that
office, will not offer again, and many
aro there who wonld wear the robes of
office thus discarded. In fact, at least
two members of the present conneil
are looking abont to see if the robes
will fit them.
Bnt they are not the only ones with
a finger npon the public pnlse and eyes
cast longingly towards the chair of
state that adorns the Mayor’s office.
There ore others—several others—
and they will be on the hustings in
time. Two or three members of the
bar have aspirations in that direction,
it is said, while at least two others in
another line of business have bad their
friends to "snggest” their eminent
fitness for this office.
Bat there will be plenty of timo for
all to get on the race coarse.
The imnortant office of councilman
will command attention as well, and
there will be nnmerons applicants for
the three vacancies. Aldermen Watts,
Guerrv and Oliver are the retiring
members, though they may be inclined
to stand again for the same places or
“something belter.”
The primary takes place some two
months hence, but even this far iu ad
vance the wise candidate is looking
after his fences all along the line.
