Mr. James Tondee, another one of
Schley county’s sons, who strayed off to
to Texas a few years ago, returned Fri

convinced by experience and observation
that there is no better place on this ter

Mr. Newton Glover’s youngest son, a
bright little fellow, was riding with a
servant on a load of wood last Thursday
when the mules ran away, threw him off
and ran over him. His thigh was brok

last accounts he was a« well as could be
expected.
A fight to death occured Saturday af
ternoon, between two hogs, Mr, W. D.
Murray’s fine Berkshire and a piney
woods rooter, beloning to Mr. A. C. Mur
ray. The scrub broke through the fence
and engaged the Berkshire in battle.
The contest was fierce and bloody, both
were badly used up before the servant
boy could sebai ate them. The Berkshire
lecieved several deep gashes and died
almost immediately.
The building boom in Ellaville is still

of convenience and comfort. The house

A PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT;
The tall term of the Ellaville High
School closed Friday evening with a
most enjoyable entertainment. Nearly
everybody in town, large and small, old
and young were present. As the enter
tuinment was principally given for the
little people, the older ones held back
and gave the little folks full sway. They
amused themselves in various ways, un
til about nine o’clock, when refreshments
were served in the large hall on the first
floor. The table was piled high with
pound cake, sponge cake, jelly cake,
fruit cake, cup cake, coaconut cake, ap
ple pies, peach pies, currant pies, goose
berry' pies, raisins, dried figs, dater, ma
laga grapes, apples, oranges, bannanas,
filberts, chestnuts, ammons, pecan nuts,
English walnuts, Brazil nuts, and can
dies in endloss variety. The fruits etc
were beautifully arranged and presented
a repast fit for the gods. The desert
was ice cream strawberries, and ambro

then came the oider ones. All ate,
drank and were merry, yet there was
plenty left.
After the feast was over, the little peo
ple took possession of the lower depart
ment and amused themselve with music,
singing, dancing and playing,
The grown people went up stairs and
indulged in music and various sociable
games.
Time glided by so pleasantly that elev

making broke up.
IN MEMORIUM.
Died in Lee county Georgia Nov. 17.
1889, Edgar L. Kleckley, aged 19 years ;
The deceased was a son of Mr. and
Mrs. D. C. Kleckley of Schley countv.
and nephew of the late V A Clegg. At
the age of 15 years, his uncle, Mr. Clegg
who had become very much attached to
him, took him to educate and devoted as
much care and attention on him as if he
had been an own son, and up to the time
of his death Mr clegg averred that he
had never had cause to regret the atten
tion thus bestow’ed. His first year in Lee
was spent at school at Leesburg and the
next three at school in Albany where he
won the confidence, of his teachers and
the love and esteem of all who came in
contact wit i him. Often in his enter
course with the world was he invited
to participate in the revelry of
his young gentleman associates, but his
answer was always “No boys! I have
promised not to, and I cannot indulge.”
In keeping his promise and resisting
temptation he vvas sustained by an un
tiring love for his devoted mother.
How truly hath death in this instance
aimed at a shining mark; when it strikes
from our midst, one so young, so full of
hope and energy, with life’s bright vista
stretched out so invitingly before him
and fames brightest temple open to his
gifted talents, at a time too, when he
looked forward with all the assurance of
eager young manhood. Tis sad, alas too
sad! to reflect that his handsome boyish
face will beam among us no more for
ever.
But when Jesus sees a smile too bright,
A soul too pure for taint of vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell with him in paradise.
Malarial fever fastened its fatal ^grasp
upon his young but manly form, the
sombre Angel of Death toculied and
chilled his pure and gentle heart and it
throbbed no more. The cheerful smile,
the merray laughter, the clear and ever
welcomed voice of a dutiful son, a kind
and affectionate brother, a true and no
ble friend is hushed forever, and the
hearts of his idolizing parents, devoted
sister and loving friends are boweddown
with grief. May God in his infinite
mercy soothe the aching void in the
crushed and bleeding hearts of his fam
ily and lead them to look beyond this
vale of tears to that glorious reunion and
everlasting rejoicing in a home beyond
the sun sets radiant glow. In the death
of this trnly noble young man, not only
his friends and loved ones have sustained
an irreparable loss, one whose presence
will ever be missed, lmt Lee comity has
lost a good citizen and true man.
C. J.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, wants the
United States to open trade relations
with the 0#mge Free State in Africa.
He says:—My reason for desiring this is
that it may be aide to encourage the ne

and never will have here to engage in

MANUFACTURERS, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL DEALERS IN
All Kinds Of Furniture.
Ours is the biggest Furniture business in the United States and our sales anually are over a million dollars. Beside
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,<>00. t OR SPOT CASH, thereby giving
from 15 to 20 per cent, better discount than they. We are always willing to give our customers the benefit of these big dis
counts, and save you from 10 to 20 per cent, on every piece of furniture you buy from us. Another advantage is. we handle
only first-class goods and will guarantee every piece we sell you. Our motto is “GOODS AT RETAIL AT WHOLESALE
PRICES.” To prove this we submit a few prices and defy competition:
500 Bureaus, beautifully finished at $4.50 each. bevel glass, only $45.00 each.
3000 Good Strong Bedsteads, complete at $1.50 each. 30 solid walnut frame plush Parlor suits, six pieces, $35.00 each.
1000 Good Strong Bed Springs at $1.25 each. 50 solid Walnut, full spring bed lounges, moquette tops. $9.75 each.
200 French Dressing Cases, 20x28, best German glass at $10.00 each. “Walcot Cottage chairs" 50c each.
150 Ten pieces, toilet, bed room suits, marbleized top, 20x28, German plate 500 Good. Strong, walnut flnisn, Rocking Chairs, Cane seat and back,
glass only $29.50 each. only $1.00 each.
50 Ten piece, solid walnut, marble top, toilet bed room suits, large
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 wholesale houses have no advantage over the little one horse dealers that buy a handful of goods at the time.
LAST, ZBTTT LTOT LEAST,
Among the many attractions is our CARPET DEPARTMENT. We carry the largest stock in the South, and our prices
are the lowest to be found. These goods are the latest designs and the newest shades. MAIL ORDERS have our best atten
tion always. Can sell you good Ingrain at 50c per yard, best at 85c, good Brussells at 75c best $1.25. Make a diagram of your
room, with exact measurement, write us what kind of carpet you want, and we will guarantee to please you. We cannot
