COUNTY CORRESPOND: NCE.
Near Putnam, Dec. 5th. 1889.
Notwithstanding cholera, Schley
county farmers will kill more pork this
wintei than ever before. To illustrate,
a two horse farmer will kill 28 head,
while a one horse man will kill 80. These
are exceptional cases, but nearly all will
kill more than will be used on their
farms. These hogs, too, are generally'
large, and have not been fattened on
corn. Miss Martha Newsom is in the lead
thus far, she having killed one a
few day’s ago, 15 months old, weighing
815 pounds.
G. A. Chapman is arranging to move
to Sumter county.
Where farmers have uncleared land
they should not wait longer to open it
up. This immediate vicinity, we will
venture to assert, has made as good av
erage crops, for the last few years as
any other section in the state with the
same acreage. This is due to the large
acreage of fresh land recently opened
up. The question for you to decide, is.
does not your old land need rest for a
few years, worse than y*ou need it after
your crops are gathered ?
Report says that Hopewell is to have a
new teacher.
We learn there is a move on foot to or
ganize a stock company to build a cotton
factory at Americus, to be run and op
orated in the interest of the farmers alli
ances of the five joining counties.
The Ebeneza school closed last Wed
nesday for the fall term, with an enter
tainment at night. By invitation we
wese permitted to witness the exercises.
The program was appropriately gotten
up. every part seeming just suited to the
child that had to render it. The chil
dren were all small, and no attempt was
made at display, yet they showed marks
of training not usually found in the pub
lic schools. At the close of the exercises
refreshments were served in abundance,
and the exstacies of the children, and
smiles of parents made everything pleas
ant. An Ebenezian never boasts of any
thing except his school. It is the one
thing nearest bis heart and is nurtured
;is n otliing else is. There is but few to
support a school, yet their heroic efforts
is giving them one second to no country
school. Miss Emmie Hornady, their
teacher. Ir.is b en serving them for some
time and is very highly appreciated.

manufacturing a large part of our goods, we control the output of several of the largest factories in the West. When small
dealers buy from $100 to $150 worth of goods at a time, we buy from $25,000 to $50,000. P OR SPOT CASH, thereby giving
Loin 15 to 20 per cent, better discount than they. We are always willing to give our customers the benefit of these lug dis
counts, and save you from lOto 20 per cent, ou every piece of furniture you buy from ns. Another advantage is. we hamfle

These* are only a few of the thousands of bargains we 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 dealers, then
the w holesale houses have no advantage over the little one horse dealers that buy* a handful of goods at the time.

A "GAY" PARTY.
Last Thursday night the young people
of Ellavaville spent a few hours very
pleasantly at the residence of Mr. J. M.
Gav, with many friends in that commu
nity. The crowd amused themselves
in various ways. Music and games of
every kind was played until supper was
announced, then they moved with one
accord into the dining room where re
freshments were abundantly served.
About 11 o’clock we bade them good-bye
and went our way rejoicing that we
were the participants of so great a
pleasure. “I.”
LOOKOUT, HORSE TRADERS.
Mr. I). W. Fouche returned from Ran
dolph county Tuesday afternoon, and be
informed us so that we could inform the
people that Doc Melton came up from
that county with mules that had been
exposed to glanders. He said that there
was no mistake about the mules having
been exposed to this fatal disease among
horses, and his only desire in wishing
publicity given to it was to keep the
disease out of the county.—Patriot.
WHAT A FORTUNE
Tsa good healthy, pearly skin. Few are
aware of the short time it takes fora disor
dcrod liver to cause blotches on the face and a
dark greasy skin. One bottle of BERGS’
BLOOD PURIFIER an<l BLOOD MAKER will
restore this organ to its natural and healthy
state, and cleanse the blood of nil iirpurities.
It is meeting with wonderful success. We
guarantee every bottle.
