enormous tuition bill was found among

-Mr. J. W. Moore bas on exhibition
at bis livery stable a rooster which es
caped a close call, and was left badly
dilapidated, by the cold weather. One
foot was frozeu entirely off, and the
other left with only two short nubs for
toes. His comb, (the rooster's, not
Mr. Moore’s) gills and under bill were
all bitten away also. With only the
upper bill, it was then scarcely possi
ble for him to eat anything. To re
lieve this difficulty, Mr. W. J. Crabbe
chopped that off with a chisel—and
though “somewhat disfigured but still
in the ring," the ill starred rooster now
manages to eat enough to live well,
but is a pitiable and at the same time
fuuny looking object.
We would like to know of Uncle
Sam what we have done, that we should
have suck an abominable mail service
inflicted upon us as we are now being
forced to submit to. It is enough to
put dozens of double back action kick
era to work, night and day, until some
thing is done. For instauce, The
Weekly’s package of papers is put
into the office here on Friday mornings
(publication day) where it lies until 7
o’clock at night. It is then taken to
Atlanta, or somewhere else, aud does
not reach Flippen, only four miles
away, until 5 o’clock Saturday after
noon. If we can’t kick at this, we
ought to be kicked. With a day train
passing at 11 o’clock, it does seem hard
to be compelled to wait so long to have
mail transported only four miles. Do
better, Uncle Sam, or we must declare
war.
Post Olllce Robbed.
The McDonough postoffice was
broken into Wednesday night, and
robbed of about sixteen dollars in cash.
Fortunately posttaistress Sutton had
deposited all but that amount, which
was uuthoughiedly left in an old book
in her desk. Money seems to have
been the only object of the robbery, as
nothing else was disturbed. The deed
was evidently committed by some one
familiar with the surroundings, as en
trance was made in a rimnd-a-bout
way, first through The Weekly office,
and then breaking a Bmall wooden
window, closed, into the postoffice. It
occurred about 1 o’clock, as Mr. John
Turner, who sleeps upstairs in the
budding, heard the noise and went
down at the time to see what it was,
but discovering nothing after looking
through Mr. Stewart’s store, returned
to his room. The burglar was evident
ly a “green’’ one, from some signs left,
but no clew whatever to his identity
could be located.

needed tonic to the bowels, and few cases
long resist the use ot this medicine. Try it

On account of so much raiu just be
fore the “U.li inst., we were compelled
to put ilf cur school picnic till last
Saturday, and we had a delightful time.
About H:3O o’clock Saturday morning
the school children of R ck Spring
| Academy, with their parents, were
seen assembling themselves under those
beautiful aud spacious oaks just above
the South river bridge at Snapping
Shoals, on the Henty couuty side of
the river. A little later on we were
joiued by Union Academy school of
Newton county, aud some of their par
ents with them, aud to ihe delight of
all the children of both schools were
soon set at liberty for them to enjoy
themselves to their every heart’s de
light. Such happy children you rare
ly ever see. Soon the woods were
filled with those happy aud joyous boys
and girls, gathering flowers and ar
rangiug them into beautiful bouquets,
while the young ladies and gentlemen
chose for their enjoyment (and they
seemed to enjoy it splendidly) a game
of croquet, Rock Spring furnishing one
set aud Union another, while others
were seeu around in groups playing
mumble peg. One of the groups we
noticed had hut two playing, and the
two geutlemen were Mr. Ras Dicker
son and Rev. R. Lee Bell. They
were pretty well matched, for each of
the gentlemen were seen rooting for
the peg. About 11:30 o'clock the
children were Been coming from almost
every direction, as if something down
where the older people were assembled
was attracting their attention ; also did
those who were playing mumble peg
and croquet were attracted the same
way. After a while the ladies ordered
the boxes, trunks aud baskets brought,
and in a few moments they soon began
to spread their table cloths aud to place
thereon the many delicious viands
which had been prepared with much
care by the many good cooks that Hen
ry aud Newton couuty are blessed
with. It was enough to satisfy the
longings of a poor hungry soul, aud we
all did eat and all seemed to enjoy the
repast to their appetite’s content.
Thus we did eat, and I think there
were as much as twelve baskets of
“eatmeuts” left. After which they
commenced to gather in groups as did
before dinner, spent the afternoon in a
most pleasant manner. At about 4:30
o’clock some one said lei’s us go home,
which was greeted as a welcome sug
gestion. Thus epded our picnic—all
satisfied and happy.
Whooping cough and measles have
bade our part of the couuty adieu,
which has relieved many anxious par
ents of the much dreaded epidemic.
Capt. L. R. Forbus, who has been
confined to his bed aud room for Borne
t : me, is slowly recovering, and we hope
to see him in the near future out again.
We are glad to state Mr. and Mrs.
S. P. Hooton’s little babe who has
had such a serious time with whooping
cough, is a great deal better, and siu
cerely hope its full recovery to health
soon.
We arc glad to state the progress
Fairview Sabbath school is making.
There seems to be a great iuterest
manifested by the children, but it would
be more encouragement to them if we
could get more of the heads of families
to come out and lend a helping band.
It will do us good. Our prayer meet
ing is generally very well attended.

and as soon as possible gave the alarm
to his neighbors. In response to his
call, Mr. N. W. Beard hastened to his
side and while he and Mr. Beard were
rubbing her arms, she dropped her
head upon her chest (she had gotten up
and taken a chair) when Mr. Cardin,
stooping, looked into her face saw that
her spirit had taken its flight to “that
laud beyond the river.” On Monday
following her body was followed to its
last restiug place at the cemetery near
Mr. Wm. Cliafiu's by a large concourse
of relatives and friends, who sincerely

the ball rolling with the most unheard-of prices in Dress
Goods, Notions, Hats, Shoes, Clothing, Millinery, etc., ever
offered in Jackson.
Our Methods
oca Rewards.
As to the former, wc would remark that they are ours—
only. We buy and sell after our own plans and specifica
tions, Imitation is only a form of flattery. And we never
flatter. Again, we never bid against ourselves. We make
the prices, and it always goes. We don’t put down here
and put up there, but everything is on a fashion of horizontal
reduction. As to our reward, verily we are having it. The
people,are wise enough to know their friends, and the amount
of trade tells the tale.
Remember, every Monday is our general Bargain Day—
and between the hours of 10 to 12 o’clock a. m. is set aside
for our Secret Bargains. Don’t fail to ask for them. The
people know us too well, to think we are seeking to mislead
them in this sale, if we do ofler goods at greatly reduced
prices—that is our privilege, the gDods are ours. As Sam
Jones remarked, “The hit dog always hollows.” Let our
competitors do the hollowing—we are looking alter the sell
ing. We are satisfied with our success. Our motto is—
live and let live.
We are too busy to make prices this week. If you
want goods call and get them. The prices will be right
