JACKSON, GEORGIA,
Are receiving and opening this week the biggest, the choiest,
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 ot Jackson.
“Progress On and Upward” Our Motto.
The taste ot 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 and will show a stock of
goods, in every line, at prices the like ot which has never
been known before. All we ask is that you look and see
and price.
On Millinery 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.

Farewell Sermon.
Mr. aud Mrs. J. Q. Nolan went up
to Atlanta Sunday to listen to Dr. J.
W. Lee’s farewell sermon at Park
street church, West End, before leav
ing for his new appointment as pastor
of St. John’s church, St. Louis, Mo.
Mr. Nolan and the Doctor were class
mates at college and a warm friend
ship still exists between them.
Advertising brings success.
Returned Home.
Kev. M. F. Duncan returned last
week from an extended visit to Ken
tucky and the World’s Fair. On Tues
day night he delivered a brief talk at
the Presbyterian church of his obser
vations at the great exposition, but
owing to the threatening aspect of the
weather there was but a limited sum
ber out to hear it. It is hoped that on
some more favorable occasion he will
give the lecture again for the edification
of those who were not present Tues
day evening.
The Right Move.
We learn that at last a movement
has been put on foot by the members
of the Methodist church at this place
to have their church building thorough
ly remodeled from pillar to dome. We
hope our friends will get farther along
with this than with the plan for build
ing a new church. The piesent buil
ding is becoming really unsafe, and
some action will necessarily have to be
taken. We think the proposed plan a
good one.
Old Henry’s Fair Daughters.
The beauty, modesty and grace of
Henry county Essies has become al
most proverbial, and below we give an
example of what one of them can do
in the way of work when it becomes
necessary. We are informed by a re
liable geutlemau that on last Thursday
Miss Josie Shaw, of Wynn’s Mill,
picked 449 pounds of cotton. A record
that can be equaled by but few of the
masculine sex in the county.
Valuable Acquisition.
The services of Miss Estelle Har
ben, a talented young lady of Way
cross, and a recent graduate of Indi
ana Normal School, have been secured
as an assistant teacher in McDonough
High School. The High School is to
be congratulated upon the addition of
this accomplished acquisition to their
faculty.
Sirs. G. G. Weems.
The ever wide awake Racket Store
has secured the services of Mrs. G.
G. Weems, who will enter upon her
duties Monday morning. Mrs. Weems
will be in charge of the dress goods
department and will no doubt be visit
ed by her numerous lady friends when
shopping in the city.
Off For His Health.
Stewart Hensley left yesterday for
his former home at Ringgold, where he
goes in the hope of recuperating his
failing health. Stewart is one of our
best boys, and we hope he may soon
return hale and hearty.

Owing to the disagreeable condition
of the weather last Tuesday there was
but a limited a.' tendance upon the pub
lic sales at this place. The financial
depression was readily perceived in the
remarkably low prices at which much
valuable land was sold.
A Mule Stolen.
Last Monday eveniug Marshal
Moore’s attention was drawn to a no
gro sitting in front of Mr. 11. \Y. Car
michael's store, by his loud and contin
uous talk. Stepping toward him the
marshal reached forth to place his hand
on the his shoulder, at the same
time saying,
“Como along ; I need you.’’
But his hand never reached its desti
nation, for, as quick as thought, the
negro sprang out of reach and bounded
away in the darkness.
This action on the part of tho negro,
and his being a stranger aroused the
suspicious of our worthy custodian of
the peae, aud securing the services of
Mr. John Hightower, and his hound,
“Bruce,” they started in pursuit of the
flying recreant.
Night had closed down with Egyptian
like darkness, and a slow drizzling rain
had set in, but guided by the dog’s
unerring power of scent they traced
the culprit out tho Jonesboro road to
Camp creek.
There lie had tried the “old dodge”
of “doubling on his track,” by pulling
off his shoes and socks and wading
down the creek for some distance and
then returning. His socks were left
upon the bank. This strategem delay
ed the pursuers for some little time,
but eventual ! y the track was again re
sumed aud led up to the home of Mr.
Andrew Dailey and into his horse lot,
where it was discovered the fugative
had stoleu from its aull one of that
gentleman’s best mules, and a bridle,
and had gone in the dilection of Flip
pen. Securing horses the chase was
continued all night long, the negro
dodging aud turning on his track all
the while like a hare before the hounds.
Pursuit was giveu up just before day,
the pursuing party then being between
Lovejoy and Jonesboro, and utterly
worn out.
It is generally thought that the
nogro was au escaped criminal, and had
planned the theft of the mule before
hand.
The animal stolen was a dark mare
mule, with two white spots near tail,
shod on front feet. It is thought the
thief traveled iu a westerly direction,
Every effort is being made to appre
hend him.
The Cotton Market.
Cotton 7J.
McDonough buyers are offering
every cent that can be legitimately
paid, and in' consequence are buying
much cotton.
It is now thought that the crop iu
this county will be out and .ready for
market before the close of the present
month.
There seems to be a general feel
ing all quarters that there will be a
considerable advance in price within
the next three weeks, although it con
siderably depends upon the character
of the official government report that
will be issued ou the 10th inst.
Notice.
All parties who purchased guano
from the undersigned and have not
paid for same are respectfully request
ed to do bo at once, and greatly oblige,
