We desire to thank most cordially
our many friends in Henry and ad
j lining countie* for the liberal and
unstinted patronage accorded us. \\ e

past, strive to deserve your confidence
and business. We have worked hard
and zealously to place ourselves in po
sition to give you the highest | ossible
price for your cotton. Our market
has been the talk of the country with
in 500 miles of Jackson, and we feel
glad to know that our humble efforts
have been largely conducive to our re
ceiving, what now looks, will be 18,-
000 bales of cotton for this season. If
we should reach 10,000 bales wo will
handle perhaps 14,000 to 15,000 bales,
and tbis will show without further
comment who has created and sustain
ed the high price paid here for cotton.
We nre now greasing the road all
the way from here to your house with
meat, corn, oats, flour, sugar, coffee
and such heavy goods as you will need
in January. They will be here by the
car load and our prices will make
competition squeal. So, be sure to
come to see us. We will sell as cheap
as any wholesale grocery house in Ma-
con or Atlanta, and give you good,
straight goods. We worked to give
you a big price for your cotton and we
are now working to give you low pri
ces for goods. Come see, and he con
vinced.
Wishing you a morry Christmas and
a happy n--w year, we are,
Your friends,

Irish Potatoes Grown Under Straw.
No approximate estimate of the val
ueof a crop of this universally approv.
ed esculent can be made. Horace
Greely ouce said that the knowledge
of headiug off the Colorado potato hug
by the use of paris green was worth
millions of dollars to the country. A
total failure to the crop in tue United
States would be almost as disastrous
as it would be in Ireland or Germany.
The experiment station of New
York has for years been trying to find
out: 1. What fertilizers are best for
the crop. 2. What temperature is
most congenial: (a) for the roots; (b)
for the tubers ; (c) for the plant above
the ground. Theimoneters are used
in the field and earth. The conditions,
as we remember them, are : Cool and
moist for the roots, warmer for the tu
bers end normal for the tops.
Our readers will remember the tu
bers are not roots, but culargcd blanch
es. Rich, moist soil (potatatees will
grow in the mud) for the bottom, a
stratum of sand mostly for the tubers,
and a port us, well pulverized soil for
the tops. Of course, the ordinary far
mer can only approximate these con
ditions, but the knowledge of them
may help him a great deal.
A gentleman of our acquaintance,
who is an enthusiastic farmer, gro«s
his potatoes under straw aud leaves.
He has not failed for thirty-one years,
except in 1880, and he attributes the
failure to the subsoil, which, in couse
quence of the drouth, had become so
hard that the roots proper could not
reach the plant food below, so the pro
duct was “tops” mostly—the tubers
were not there.
If now the land were put in the best
of tilth, then slightly ringed and the
seed (tubers of two or three eyes, be
ing in fact scions, and therefore just as
good from small as large potatoes)
were planted on these ridges a>»out
two feet spart, and if sand—unless
present in sufficient quantity in the
natural soil—could be so applied on
the top where the tubers would be
most likely to form, and if subsequent
ly a very light covering of soil be ap
plied and then the whole be covered
with a thick coat of straw and leaves,
such a bed would in our opinion be
the very perfection of potato culture
under straw. 'J here is no after-culti
vation necessary, and when the work
is well done the tubers, after taking
off the straw and leaves, would tie
clean and, in appearance, like a uest
of eggs.
For Scrofula in every form Hood's
Sarsaparilla is a radical, reliable rem
edy. It has an unequalled record of
cures.
The malarious summer will soon be
here. Buy a bottle of Cheatham’s
Tasteless Chill Tonic and fortify your
self against chills and fever. It i» ah
solutely guaranteed to cure and pleas
ant to take.
Nellie Bly got around the world
pretty lively, but Cheatham’s Tasteless
Chill Tonic will go it at a still better
pace. Try a bottle when in nee lof a
remedy for chills.
Why scratch your life away when a
little Hunt’s Cure judiciously applied
will cure the worst case of Itch evet
known? If not it costs you nothing.
Price 50 cents.
The eighth wonder of the world
just discovered.—Chestam’s Tasteless
Chill Tonic. It will prove a boon to
humanity. It is the same tonic as
that heietofore sold under the same
name except that it is tasteless.
Guaranteed to cure.
A Phenoiuinal Success.
Four years ago, two Coob county
boys entered the heavy grocery busi
ness in Atlanta. Their mo'to, from
the beginning, was “fair dealing, good
good* and rock bottom prices.” They
have stuck to the text, and every cus
tomer has learned tnere is no such
thing as deception in the house.
They began in an unpretentious
style but pushed their business. To
day their customers come from every
county adjacent to the city, and from
sections considerably removed. Their
sales for the present year has reached
the stupendous sum of SIBO,OOO. Of
this sum Henry county leads the van,
having contributed the sum of $75,000
Our people have learned that at this
house they get their moneys’ worth.
The credit of the house stands as
fair as any one concern in the .State, if
not the United States.
To those who have never known
the gentlemen alluded to, we will in
troduce them to Messrs. Duncan &
<'amp of 77 White Hall, street. It is
needless to say that this house brads
its competitors in point of giving bar
gains to its customers, for the mere
fact of our Henry county people trad
ing $75,000 with it proves that our
astute fanners have learned where they
can buy cheapest.
Merit will always win, and it is safe
to predict that this house will always
he found on the side of the people
against the combines, trust and mou
opolies.

Frlnco Napoleon In Exile.
As to Prince Napoleon’s daily life in
liis Prangins retreat, lie rises with tho
sun, lounges or works in his studio nnd
receives visitors, if any thero be, until
luncheon, which is announced for 11:45
a. ul aud never lasts more than half
an hour. Immediately afterward, and
no matter what tlie weather inny be,
he takes a long walk beyond the con
fines of his park, and returns between
2 and 3 p. m. to open his mail corre
s[ioiidcnco, which comes to hand dur
ing his afternoon stroll, and which is
always voluminous and very regular.
This occupies him until tlie dinner
hour. In tlie evening ho plays chess

friends, such as M. Adolon, Baron Bru

A S«tf Horinj- Well.
An artesian well, now partly com
pleted, at Pesth, Hungary, has reached
a depth of 1,400 yards, and by the time
it is finished will be the doe post of ita
kind in the world. It is intended to
supply hot water for a great bath house
connected with a large hotel; at pres
ent that which is obtained has a tein
[•eraturo of 164 dogs. Fahrenheit, ana
it is expected that 1,600 yards will raise
the temperature to 180 dogs. or 200
dogs. Tho most curious feature about
tliis well is the adaptation to it of auto
matic machinery for boring, the water
power for which is supplied by the well
itself. By tills means the boring has
been conducted at double its previous
rate. Surely this is a great age when
water spurting from a well can be so
harnessed as to increase the depth of
the well from which it comes.—St
Louis Republic.

A PSEUDO EX-CONVICT.
CmlotiH F,xpftrlenc« of a Clergyman with
an Alleged Jailbird.
I am going to reveal to my Indulgent '
reader a little experience I had. I
don’t know if It will Interest him, bat
It has been the subject of considerable
questioning with me ever since it oc
curred. I was sitting in this study
Thursday morning; Augusta came to
the door, saying, “There isa man down
stairs who wants to see you.” “Ask
him up here,” I said. In walffed a
man, medium height, shabby clothes,
face rather keen, alert, hair black,
mix'd with gray; eye sharp, with rest
less look, having in his whole makeup
a combination of sheeplike timidity,
bangdogness and rather pious pity.
“Good morning; what can I do for
youT
“I come to you,” he answered, “in
rather a strange time and on a strange
errand. I liavo been out of Joliet prison
three months; I have been in this city
the larger part of this time; 1 have been
sick; I have been sleeping in the sta
tions, railroad and police; I have been
trying to make an honest living. I saw
your face, and I said you are a man
who will help me.”
Moved of course by tills touch of flat
tery, I entered into the ease with some
degree of warmth. “What can you
do?” I asked. “I learned in Joliet to
paint, but I will do anything.” “Are
you a good painter 7' “Yes, sir." “All
right, I tliink I can get you somo work. ”
“You may like to write to Joliet about
me; I becaino a Christian there; the
ctiaplain was My number was
64,856.” “Yes, I shall bo very glad to
know all about you. I will write at
once. I’ll got you some work at once.
You come to mo day after to-morrow,
and I think I can help you,” I said, and
bade him good morning.
Tlie second day after he appeared.
I took him into the livery stable where
I hire my parochial assistants in pas
toral visitation and said to the proprio
tor, “Mr. G , don’t you want to
iiiro tliis man to help you in various
ways, and you givo him his board and
lodging?” “Certainly I do." The man,
whoso name, by the way, was Freder
ick J. Dubuque, seemed very grateful.
“Now,” I said to Mr. Dubuque, “let’s
go to tlie c&rriago man and see If we
cannot get you some regular work at
painting.” Tho carriage man flnidly
consented to give him work, and he
was to come round next Monday for it
That afternoon I was going to make
some parish calls, and I said to the
man, “Come out with me and hold my
horse.” Wo had a good chance to talk
during this ride. lie told me the story
of his life. He ran away from homo at
14, fell into bad company, began to
steal in a small way and then became
a shop breaker. Never, he said, had
he broken into a house. This he said
! with a good deal of prida Ho liad
| friends living ill Williamsburg, N. Y.,
and also in Walpole, Mass.; had a son
about 18 years old. Ilis wife died sev
eral years before. He told me about
his life in Joliet, tlie cell fever, eta,
and ilia temptations to steal since com
| ing to the city.
After a while wo came to the end of
the list of visits, and I bade him good
night, handing him a quarter in pay
uient of bis services, against receiving
wliicli lie manifested a proper degree of
dithdonco. I asked him to take the
horse back to tho stable. “I sliall
eomo round Monday to see how you
are setting on.” The last word he
said to me was, “You have not heard
from Joliet yet aiioiit me.” I said,
“No.”
The second day following I stepped
in to see how the work was coming on.
They said the man had brought the
horse back, but they bad not seen him
since. Thus vanished my friend into
tho unknown. Two days after I heard
from Joliet that never had there been
a man of tho name of Frederick J. Du
buque confined in that prison.
1 want to ask a question. What was
the purpose of the man in coming to

Velocity of the Wind.
Wind velocities differ greatly accord
ing to locality, even on the land, where
they are usually lower than at sea.
Thoy are higtier at Sandy Hook, for in
stance, than on the Equitable building
in this city. They are greater, too, at
an elevation than on the earth's sur
face; greater, normally, in the winter
than in summer, and greater in early
afternoon hours than in the early morn
ing. The mean hourly velocity at the
signal service station in New York city
for about fourteen years was reported
in 1885 to be 9.4 miles, while at Hat
teras it was 14.6. Probably the sever
cst blast recorded by the signal service
in this city was experienced on Feb. 26,
1886, when for a few minutes a speed
was attained computed to be at the
rate of eighty-four miles an hour.—

POLLY MADE A MATCH.
A Bashful Youth Helped Out in the Nick
of Tlm« by k Bird That Spoke Up.
“A parrot is usually regarded, I
know, as a very mischievous, meddle-
some bird, and all the stories are of
their interference and trouble making,
but I have always believed that I owe
my life’s happiness to one of them,” re
marked Mr. M C , of this place, a
day or two ago to a friend. The story
being entreated Mr. C continued:
“I was the most bashful youth you
ever saw, the very shyest imaginable,
especially where ladies were concerned.
I was fond of their society, enjoying it
80 that I sought it as often as I could,
and yet at tb<- same time in a perfect
agony of basin illness if required to an
swer tho simplest question or to express
an opinion on any subject, while to be
asked to button a glove or any such
little service would throw me into such
a state of nerv< ms excitement that 1
usually ended in making on awkward
duDje.of -
“I visited at one house where the
girls, or rather, two of them, romping,
high spirited misses, took the keenest
delight in playing upon this bashfulness
of mine; but, secretly adoring the
other sister—the eldest—l bore this
patiently, for, while she could not al
ways refrain from laughing at her sis
ters’ pranks, and tlie confusion they
threw me into, she herself never teased
me.
“But to get to Miss Polly. She was
a green bird with a yellow head and a
wicked eye and a liabit of walking in
the flower garden, wherein a little sum
mer house fitted up as a parlor the
girls were fond of ent; tabling their
company during the pleasant months.
This bird was sitting one day on a trellis
near by, when in a state of the greatest
excitement I came to this summer par
lor, and meeting a servant, sent Miss
Nellie word to please meet me there.
1 had heard that a rival had appeared
on the scene and that it was thought
that tho girl I had loved so long in si
lence was favoring tho new comer, but
I had mado up my mind to find out tho
truth of the report by speaking at last
In my own cause.
“I had fully determined in doing this,
which seemed an easy task, till I caught
sight of her sweet' face as she advanced
toward me, then my courage fled and
in abject terror I waited for her. 1
stammered out some foolish speech in
tended for an apology and sat looking
at her, dismayed to seo how unusually
quiet and depressed sho seemed, while
Polly, walking up and down tho trellis,
watched us both suspiciously. At last,
just as I decided to put it off, as I had
decided a hundred times before, that
parrot paused in her strutting and,
leaning over, urged, ‘Kiss her I kiss
her, quick 1 you goose!’ My heart
stopped beating and I scarcely dared
steal a glance at Miss Nellie, but when
I did sho was blushing so divinely, her
lips were so tempting and—well, thero
was a look in her eyes that'told me a
delicious secret; so, with sudden cour
age, 1 le:med forward and with a ‘May
I, Nell?’followed Poll’s sage advice.
“Yes, my wifo’s namo is Nellie, and
Poll, now gone tho way of all Hash,
now stands upon our mantel beauti
fully stuffed and prized most highly.-
In all probability I would have allowed
the treasure I coveted to slip through
my fingers had she not helped me out,
for my wifo has sinco told mo she had
just decided it was lost time to continue
to love a man so bashful that ho would
not tako his own, and that sho would
try and like tho other fellow.”—Attica

The Original Three Card Monte Man.
I have found a man in my rounds
who was well acquainted with “Canada
Bill,” the original threo card monte
man, now dead.
“The threo card monte game,” ho
said, “was first worked by ‘Canada
Bill’ in 1869. Bill was a Canadian, as
his name indicated, and he was as
stupid a looking man as one could
easily find. Bill worked liis game on
the trains usually, passing himself off
as a cattleman from Texas. In 1873,
after making a vast sum of money at
his trick, ‘Canaria Bill’ conceived the
idea of organizing all the men inclined
to be ‘crooked’ in tho various points
about which be plied tiis vocation. lie
called it, as all men of his calling now
do, “squaring the head’—that is, ‘fixing’
the head officials of a town if possible,
establishing a fence, having a ‘fixed’
lawyer and ready ‘straw bail property
holders.’ At one time he bad working
for him 1,600 men on the trains and in
various towns and cities.”—Kansas
City Times.
Expensive Manufacturing;.
“This bit of aluminum,” said CoL
L. C. Weir, of Cincinnati, the other
day, pointing to a small bit of the
metal on his desk, “cost me just $lO,-
000. Yes, that’s rather dear for alumi
num, I admit, but still,” with a smile,
“we must havp it, you know. I be
came interested in a man who had a
“perfect process’ for making aluminum.
A company was formed and the stock
subscribed. Tho process looked very
well on paper, but this is all 1 have to
show for my slo,ooo,tho amount of my
stock. I’m rather curious to see how
| successful these newer processes of
' making aluminum will be.”—New Y’ork

Four boys, all under 20 years of age,

and write can captain a steamboat as
well as a man. The pilot and engineer

"That will cost this road $20,000!”

Union Pacific freight conductor, and
he kept his word fcy starting a fire in a

The Farmers Compel Econ«»my.
As the Fanners’ Alliance will have a
strong repr<JK:ntation in the next house
of representatives, and as the fanner*
may increase their representation here,
this fact is likely to have a great tend
ency to cause congressmen to live in a
leas extravagant manner. The farmers
not only believe in official economy, but
also in personal economy. They think
that one is necessary to the other. A
number of men who have occupied good
positions in congress, and who depended
upon a rural constituency for their offi
cial existence, have been suddenly re
tired to private life on account of the
farmers of their district thinking that
their habits while at the national capital
were not sufficiently economical.
As the great majority of congressmen
represent agricultural constituencies they
: may conclude hereafter to cut down ex
' peiises, knowing that the farmers are
just now taking a deep interest in poli
* tics and that the tillers of the soil do not
! approve of expensive living. If this
should prove to be the case it may cease
to be the fashion for congressmen to live
luxuriously, and then there will to a bet
ter chance for a congressman to put
something by for a rainy day.—Congress
man John Quinn in New York Telegram
Mr. Powderly s<Kt Alliance.
In closing his address at Ocala Mr. T.
V. Powderly, general master workman

Deve is your platform. Let us all agree
upon it If it is to agitate and do hard
work upon that platform we are with
you, and if we are to vote with you on
that platform we will stand by you at
