I MEAN JUST WHAT I SAY. THE GOODS MUST RE SOLD AT SOME PRICE. J. J. Granbkrhy, Assignee. Correction. Tite communication from Civita¬ tus was bad in orthography last week, which was unintentional. One word left out* at tlie close of the article placed our valued cor¬ respondent in an unenviable light. Typographical erro will occur sometimes. We offer this explana- tion to Civitatus as an apology and promise to treat his articles better in the future. The Troupe. The Troupe that exhibited here last Saturday and Monday nights satisfied all that witnessed their ex- hibitions that they were no hum¬ bug. Tiie music was exceptionably ; fine. The mocking bird was admir- | ably rendered, we never heard|bet- | ter music on the violin. The Cithern ;i very ancient musical instrument made some very sweet music. The stump speech was very fine. We heard nothing that would shofk the modesty of any one. One of the troup delivered a good moral lee- ture Sunday evening which was well received and highly spoken of. The gentleman that delivered the lecture requested us to say through the paper to the people of Ellaviile, that the troupe wouid think of them with pleasure. Dentil of Hon. M. J. Wall. This gentleman after a lingering illness breathed his last at his home near this place on last Friday night, He was in feeble hea 1th for many years. He was paratively a stranger to us but we are informed that he was a good citizen which was proven by his being honored with various otti- ces of 4rust in his county within the gift of an appreciative people, lie held the following offices at differ- eat times: County solicitor, treas- uer, ordinary and two terms in the legislature. We hear nothing against him as a lawyer. Declining health for bade continuance in the practice. He was more than an ordinary man and the esteem vvith vvhich he was held was evinced by the large crowd that attended the funeral at the Methodist church in this place last Sunday. The house was crowded. He was about years of age. He leaves a wife and eight children. Rev. J. T. Lowe preached the funeral. He died out of debt and leaves his family well provided for. May He who bereav¬ ed be a father to the fatherless and a husband to the widow. Daniel’s Mill, March 6th, ’86. Mr. Editor.—T hinking perhaps a few items from this section would not be amiss I decided to let our part of the moral vineyard be heard from through the columns of your valuable paper. Farmers are progressing very fast in their preparations for plant¬ ing fact some have already begun, probably they remember the old adiage. “The early bird catches the warm.” Some siekness in our community. Mr. Harris Larrier, is very low with pneumonia. We have a very flourishing school here, with Mr. A. A. Gaines, of your town at the helm, numbering some 40 odd scholars. Your correspondent went a fish¬ ing a few days since, but caught nothing but a bad cold. We were shown by a citizen of your county a fe/v days ago a com¬ mon old wooden clock which was bought in 1837 and has been contin¬ ‘ ually ticking ever since, has never stopped but four times, and three of the four was when the owner moved and the other was once fearing it gards was dirty it as he a had real it treasure cleaned. and He says re-j i “The sun, moon and stars may vary J but my clock does not.” | More Anon, Ego.

New Yobk, Feb. 24.—A Canal- street firm has just completed the wedding shoes to be worn by Miss Fanny Mills, of Ohio, whose mar¬ riage takes place this week, They consist of a pair of slippers and a pair of walking shoes. They are No. 3os, and measure as follows: Across the ball, 22 inches; across the instep, 22 inches; across the heel, 25 inches; around the ankle, 20 inches. The slippers are of French kid) vvith an ornamented , )atent j ea ther facing around the front and side. The walking boots are of French calfskin, and are made in exact accordance with a ladies’boot of ordinary size. They cost $35. They are hand-sowed, ami were it not for the fact that they will last during the ordinary lifetime of a man, her husband might well be appalled at the pros- pective size of her shoe bills.

At last ap- proftcht0 g a basket fflled with w hole»ome poking fish, he sighed: « lf now j had these i wou i d be happy, I could sell them at a fair pric e,andbuy me food and lodgings.’’ “I will give you just as many, and just a- good fish,” said the owner, who had chanced to overhear his words, ‘-if you do me a trifiiug fa- vor.” “And what is that?” asked tlie other, “Only to tend to tlipt line till i come back, I wish to go on *& short errand.” The proposal was gladly accepted, The old man was gone so long that the young man began to Ue impa- tient. Meanwhile the hungry fish snapped greedily at the baited hook, and the young man lost all ids de- pression in the excitement of pul- fing them in; and when the owner of the line returned, he had caught large number. Counting out from them as many as were in the 1ms- ket, and presenting them to the young man. the old fisherman said: “I fulfill my promise from the fish you have caught, to teach you when- ever you see others earning what yeu need, to waste no time in fruit- less wishing, but cast a line for your- sell.”—Ex.

PROPRITORSS OF THE SOUTHWEST GEORGIA MUSIC HOUSE are than selling Pianos and Organs for CASH or on Installment plan, cheaper any other house in the country. To verify the above all you have to do is call and examine their stock, or write for catalogue and prices* One reason they sell cheaper than some houses, is this, they don’t throw in any thing with an Instrument. A handsome stool and scarf goes with each Piano and a Stool and Instruction Book with each < >rgan, and noth¬ ing else. You pay for what you buy, but nothing more. They give you a home guarantee for five ye >rs, and will deliver an Instrument in your house if it is not convenient for you to send after it. They have a very handsome delivery wagon built especially for this purpose. Write for prices and terms to James Fhicker A Bho., Americas, Ga.
