the latest stock of new goods, comprising the latest novel
ties in Dress Goods, Trimmings and Fancy Goods, Clothing,
Shoes, etc., ever before upon exhibit in the city of Jackson.
“Progress On and Upward” Our Motto.
The taste of the people must be met, and the New York
Store folks are the ones equal to the emergency.
Not Only This, but Prices
Will figure largely this winter. Bearing this in mind, it has
been our main desire and highest ambition to buy cheap and
to sell cheap, underbuy and undersell. With this idea burn
ing in us, we have WAGED WAR, FOUGHT BATTLES
and came out CONCJUERORS, and will show a stock of
goods, in every line, at prices the like of which has never
been known before. All we ask is that 3*oll look and see
and price.
Our Mllli&crj Department
Is even more complete than ever. Mrs. Thurman’s excellent
taste will be readily recognized, as she in person made all
the selections. While in New York, she attended several
large openings, and is “up” on the very latest things of the
season. The ladies are cordially invited to visit our prac
tically new rooms and see what it is impossible to tell in
such short space.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
That Is What McDonough Wants ami
Ought by All Means to Have.
In this issuo of Tub Wkkki.v notice
is given that a bill will b>- introduced
at the next session of the legislature
to authorize the establishment of a sys
tem of public schools in McDonough.
Now let our citizens unite for one
time and do something for the old
town. If we ever expect McDonough
to become a town of any importance,
her owu citizens must first manifest a
spirit of progress and development;
otherwise we must always remain dull
and lifeless.
No place is better suited for good
schools than McDonough, on account
of excellent community, location, cli
mate, freedom from local causes of
disease, small expenses, etc , etc., and
we could but hail with delight the in
auguration of a system of good public
in this delightful old place. It would
he the first step towards advancement
and prosperity, and the little extra tax
would be no comparison to the benefits
to be derived by our town and commit
nitv. Besides bringing in a good class
of citizens, it helps iu nearly every
branch of business, and needs no argu
ment on this line. This fact has been
completely demonstrated wherever free
schools are established.
Let no one hesitate who has the
good of McDonough at heart; hut let
all come together in one common effort
and secure this most desirable advan
vantage for our town.
In the name of education, for the
love of home, for the public good, don’t
let the movement fail!
Our word for it—the inauguration
of public school* in McDonough could
never be regretted.
Death of a Well Known Young Man.
At the home of his father, Dr. J. A.
C. Wynn, of Wynn’s Mill, on last
Sunday evening, after a long illness
from typhoid fever, surrounded by
ministering friends and relatives, young
Splint Wynn quietly fell iutu “a slum
her that knows no awaking." On
Monday afternoon his remains were
laid to rest in New Hope church yard
with Masonic honors, ho being a mem
ber of that organization.
Mr. Wynn was a young man of
highest moral character, an active
member of the Methodist church, and
gave promise of a life of much useful
ness, but au all wise Providence has
seen fit to remove him from loving kind
red and friends and all that remains of
tills animated young life is a geutlo
remombrance by those who knew him
best and loved him most.
Bequiescat in pace.
Cooked In the Sun.
Mr. .Mru Carmichael, one of the
finest potato raisers in the State, in
forms us of an experience he had with
this tuberous growth, during the recent
exceedingly hot weather, which but for
this gentleman's undoubted reliability
would sound incredible. Mr. Carmi
michael had occasion to dig a few of
his potatoes for spiling purpose, But
left them on the ground to sun awhile
When he went to take them up,
after about two days, he was
amazed to find them baked half through
from the piercing ray* of Old Sol. lie
attributed the phenomenon to excessive
sappiness and the fact that the potatoes
were exposed to the most direct rays
of the sun, upon sandy ground—but he
was none the less surprised, as may
wel l he imagined.
Will Set Up For Himself.
New business enterprises continue to
spring up in McDonough, and the old
town is by no means dead yet. Your
Uncle Hard Elliott has rented the
double brick store rooms of Mr. A. A.
Lemou, next to the Turuipseed shops,
and will open a first claps stock of gen
eral merchandise as soon as everything
can be put in readiness. Hard is not
only a clever fellow with plenty of
friends, but is a “hustler from way
back,” and it goes without saying that
he will do a fine business. As soon as
he he opens up he will have a big “ad”
in Tin? Wkeki.v— then look out for
the fur to fly.
Serious Accident.
We learn that Mr. Sam Dailey was
the creature of a very painful accident
last Saturday. While engaged in
making repairs on the water wheel at
his mill near this place a large piece of
iron shafting became displaced aud fail
iug struck his foot, badly tnangliug it.
He is now confined to his room at the
home of his brother-in-law, .Mr, John
Rowan, near Elippen, from the effects
of the same. His many friends sym
pathize with him in his suffering.
Mark Harper In Nebraska.
Mark Harper, colored, left Wndnes
day morning for Valentine,. Nebraska,
in response to a summons from .Mr.
John T. Oglesby, under whom lie ac
cepts a position in the freight d- p irt
ment of the Indian service at that
place. Mark is the first colored demo
crat from Henry county to receive a
government appointment, and his case
will test the ability of the Southern
darkey to withstand the rigors of ex
treme cold in the Northwest.

Collector’s Notice.
Tax Collector Owen gives notice of
appointments for his first round in this
issue. It should have appeared last
week, aud was handed in by Mr. Owen
in due season, but from an oversight of
this office was neglected. Consequent
ly, here the blame attaches—if any
there be.
Two Sundays Kadi Month,
Our Baptist brethren aie making au
effort to secure the services of their
pastor, Kev. E. Culpepper, two Sab
baths in each month, instead of one
as heretofore. Brother'Culpepper has

days. We hope ho can arrange so as
to be with us as desired.
Two Happy Hearts.
Mr. Henry Sowell and Miss Minnie
Goodwin were married last Wednesday
afternoon, at the residence of Ilev. ,1.
A. Jackson, in Tussahaw district, that
gentleman performing the ceremony.
Both are estimable young people, and
have many fiiends who wish for them
