Mr. Henry Gardner, of the Granger
ville neighborhood on the.line of Schley
aid Macon counties, had his barns sta
bles and out houses together with his
corn, fodder and 16 bales of cotton de
stroyed last week by fire. It is thought
to be the work of an incendiary.
The Woman’s Missionary Society
meets today in Quitman and will hold
in session until Sunday. Mrs. C. H.
Smith, Secretary of the Columbus Dis
trict, Miss Lula Murphy, of the Auxili
ary Society and Master Carl Murphy of
the Anna Muse Society, left last night
for Quitman, as delegates. They will
be joined at Lacrosse by Mrs. Lucius
Dixon.
We learn that there is lots of corn in
Schley county that was made two years
ago. Mr. Flurry on Buck Creek, we are
told by one of his neighbors, has at least
75 bushels that is twoyeans old and is as
sound now as when gathered. He is try
ing to use it up before commencing on
on this years crop. The big corn that
we gave him credit for last week, how
ever, was made dy Mr. L. A. Giles and
the credit given by mistake.
The destruction of the mills and gins
of Hon. A. C. murray, by fire last week,
was not only a very serions and almost
irreparable loss loss to him, who had ac
cumulated by the most industrious toil,
but it is a public calamity, a loss that
every citizen in the community will feel.
The many friends of Mr. Murray made
up a purse of $350. and presented to
him as a token of tlieir appreciation of
his worth as a citizen and of their wil
lingness to share with him the loss.
Mr. Jessce McLendon and Miss Mary
Teel finding the course of true love
crooked, as usual, and obstructed by the
mandates of a stern parent decided to
break over the barrier of parental objec
tions and go out sailing on the matrimo
nial sea inspite of the breakers. Last
3 hursdav evening the groom with Mr.
William MeMath and several other
friends took advantage of 1 Ire old man’s
absence from home stole the young
huly and struck out for Eilaville. Ar
riving here they were met by Col. J. R
Williams, who sympathized with the
matrimonial candidates from the sole of
his boots to the crown of his hat, with all
the concentrated ardor of past experi
ence. He tendered the services of him
self and two fleet horses, but as Rev Mr.
Tidwell was found and tied the Hvme
nial knot too fast for an irate father to
sever, the fleet horses were not needed.
JesBee and Miss Mary, we presnme,
have gone off on a bridal tour and the
°ld man Teel. we understand, lias gone
on the war-path and promises to wipe
np the earth with every one who had
any thing to do with stealing his
d aught* r.

HE BOUGHT THE BIBLE.
A good joke is told on Mr. E-— S.—
a well-to-do farmer residing in the
northern part of Schley county. In the
w 7 ay of home comfort etc., Mr. S. is
said to be a very liberal provider for his
family, but some how he had forgotten
to supply his home with a bible. Not
long since when tlie preacher stopped to
stay all night with hint he felt sure that
a bible w T ould be called for and to pro
vide for the emergency he sent his little
son to a neighbors to borrow a bible
It seems that the little fellow forgot
what he had been sent for and returning
rushed into the parlor, where his father
was trying to entertain the minister un
til the bible came and yelled out, “Papa,
what kind of a book did you send me
to get r”
“Stevens’ History of the War,”
promptly responded Mr. S., hoping to
delude the minister and send some one
else for the bible.
Some how the secret leaked out a d
Messrs. Pat Williams and J. K. Prince
two of Mr. S.’ friends in Amer.cus hear
ing of it decided to put up a job on him.
Securing a lo; cf bibles. they hired a b >y,
fitted him up with a team, prompted
him what to say and started him off to
Schley County to find the plantation c f
Mr. E. S. Driving up to the gate the
boy called out the hero of the bible inei
dent and representing himself as a book
agent, offered lo sell him a bible.
“Haven't time to read,” replied Mr. S.
“Yes, but your family would no doubt
like to read,” said the boy.
“They are all busy too, every thing
has to work here,” said S.
“Would be glad to sell you one of
these handsome bibles,” said the boy.
“Don't need a bible just now, was
the reply.
“Butvou do need a bible.” earnestly
persisted the boy, “and 1'1 sell the hand
somest one in the lot for $7.00.
••Yes, but we need other things a great
deal worse.” returned S., impatiently.
“But. if you buv a bible.” pleaded the
boy .looking him square in the face,
“you won’t have to send off for -Stevens’
History of the War’ when the preacher
comes again.”
“Sallie ! ’’yelled S.. as he scooted out
the gate and struck a bee-line for the
fields, “get $7 out of my pocket book
and pay this man for a bible.”

manufacturing a large part of our goods, we control the output of several of the largest factories in the West. W hen small
dealers buy from $100 to $150 worth of goods at a time, we buy from $25,000 to $50,000. 1 OR SPOT CASH, thereby giving
from 15 to 20 per cent, better discount than the}’. We are always willing to give our customers the benefit of these big dis
counts, and save you from 10to 20 per cent, on every piece of furniture you buy from us. Another advantage is. we handle

These are only a few of the thousands of bargains w 7 e have to offer you, at prices lower than other dealers pay for the
same goods. If we, by buying for 18 large stores, in the enormous quantities we do, cannot undersell small dialers, then
