Henslee to be the active managers of
the business. This company is to suc
ceed Mr. Thomas D. Stewart, and will
occupy his store rooms. Mr. Stewart
will retain an interest and assist in
giving direction to the business, though
it is likely he will open a separate of
fioe. This will be one of the best in
stitutions in the State, as the parties
are all well and favorably known, and
are backed with experience, ability
and plenty of capital. They propose
to buy cotton aud do a general cash
and time business.
Commencement Sermon.
Rev. Henry Quigg, D. Dr, of Con
yers, will preach the sermon on the
third Sabbath in June, being the occa
sion of the commencement exercises of
McDonough Institute.
Dr. Quigg has recently returned
from the OrieDt, having visited Jerusa
lem aud the Holy Land, and his ser
mon will doubtless be highly instructive
and entertaining, as he is one of the
ablest divines in Georgia.
We also learn that Rev. Dr. Morn
son of the first Methodist church, At
lanta, will deliver the literary address,
so it is safe to say the Institute com
mencement this year will be one of the
best in its history.
Trip to Washington.
A good large party left McDonough
Tuesday to attend the great Baptist

Mr. Phinazee Dead.
Mr. Paul Turner received a tele
gram last Monday evening announcing
the death of his step-father, Mr. J. G.
Phinazee, at High Falls. He died
suddenly from a stroke of apoplexy,
being stricken near his house while re
turning from a trip over the premises,
lie was one of Monroe county’s most
highly esteemed citizens, and his Mc-
Donough friends join in the general
regret of his death. He was about 65
years old.
Money for Spring Clothing
Should be invested where you get goods
for the lowest possible pricejßtylish-up
to date garments. Money is hard to
get these days and yet as “appearance
oft denotes the man” one must keep
neat if he would succeed. For first
class gentlemen's wear durable and
cheap, there is no house that equa's
Eads-Neel Co. Be on the safe side by
purchasing from them, either at Atlan

Merry One Day «f Freedom.
Bright and early last Friday morn
ing McDonough was aglow with the
beaming, glad faces of happy children
—including grown children and all.
It was May day—picnic time—the
annual holiday of the schools. And
his is enough said—‘he spirit of the
occasion finds the tvuest appreciation
left to the universal knowledge of what
just such always inspire, rather than an
itternpt at expression iu words.
Early in tho morning the children of
the High School were astir, aud soon
were on their way to Peachstone
Shoals, enjoying the ride in well filled
conveyances as only euch occasions can
be. A large crowd was present to en
joy the day at this lovely place, and
we learn it was most delightful to all
participants. The natural surround
ings wore all that could be asked, and
besides the elegant dinner bountifully
supplied with fresh fish, the attractions
J strolling, angling, climbing roman
tic hills, etc., combined it into one
round of delight from beginning to end.
About 8 o’clock the pupils of Mc-
Donough Institute began to assemble
at their campus, and an hour later were
in procession, headed by the McDon
ough Cornet Band, who from their
bright aud gaily decorated band wagon,
inspired the march out to Dailey’s
mill with gala music
Here one of the largest crowds gath
ered ever seen on these old grounds at
a similar occasion. The jollification of
letting off the pond and seining for fish,
with its well known excitements,
strolling out the delightful walk to the
spring; rollicking up and down the
creek —in short, all the pleasures of
happy May picnickers were freely in
dulged in till dinner hour. Then a
great abundance of good things, with
threat stacks of fried fish, were heaped
upon a long table, and notwithstanding
the crowd of not less than three hun
dred attacked it with whetted appetites,
it was hardly half destroyed. Indeed,
never was a better dinner spread be
fore a more satisfied gathering.
After dinner the band thrilled the
woods and fields around with its splen
did music, the evening wore pleasantly
away, and when all finally returned
home it was with full feelings of a hap
pily spent day.
Truthfully may it be said that the
aunual May celebration of McDonough
Institute for 1895 will long be remem
bered as one of the best it is possible to
enjoy.
There could scarcely be a better de
sire than that all others may be just
like it.
The school of Prof. J. D. Davis al
so picnicked at Moseley’s mill last Sat
urday, on their May celebration, and
we are informed by a number who at
tended from McDouough that a very
large crowd was present, who enjoyed
the day to the fullest extent in every
particular—in reality being hard to
equal, in point of elegance and general
pleasure.
Death.
Mrs. Leila Kent, wife of Mr. Rich
ard Kent, departed this life on Tues
day evening at 6 o’clock, May 7tb,
1895, at the home of her husband at
Woodstown. The remains were in
terred at Sardis church Wednesday
evening at 4 o’clock.

Business is not so dull as you might
suppose in our little village.
Our live merchants, Messrs. A. G.
Harris, M. I). Rountree, W. H. Hugh*
ling, VYm. Pair aud Mr. Branan—all
of whom are vying with each other
in trying to meet the demands of the
people; Mr. McFarlin with his squad
of hands, laying the uew track ou E
l\ V. & G. railroad ; another man with
a squad just above Flippen, the hands
of both squads being good singers; the
work trains dashing to and fro with
supplies, present quite a lively scene,
and makes one feel like he lived in a
large city.
We are further reminded, that if the
farmers in this country, used such a
system of labor on their farms, and
would spend the same number of hours
per day at it, there would be more corn
and cotton made in this state.
We must not forget to mention our
millinery store, the proprietor of which
(Mrs. Wm. Burch) is making quite a
display of ladies head.dress.
The grape-packing house of Mr. A.
G. Harris which was blown down a
few weeks ago, is being rebuilt, and it
is nearing completion. We have no
doubt but that he will need it very
soon—judging from the crop that his
twenty thousaud vines are now taking
on. We expect to hear him say to the
unemployed now soon, “Go work iu
my vineyard today, and I will pay thee
what is right.”
“Mr. “Tobe” Steele, who it on the
other side of the railroad, is helping
his neighbor (Mr. Harris) to show
what can be done with the “viue” in
this country. He comes first on the
list in this community in the produc
tion of strawberries, having sold three
or four dollars worth last Saturday.
Fruit crops of all kinds are very
promising, and the people are expecting
some relief from them as well as from
“Uncle Sam”—your correspondent an
tici pates a great deal more.
Miss Lilia McLucas, a beautiful and
popular young lady of Inman, is visi
ting her sister, Mrs. W. M. Burch, this

Mr. A. G. Harris, Sr., who has been
visiting his son, Dr. J. N. Harris, of
Griffin for some time, has returned
home, and is now quite sick. We hope
for his speedy recovery.
Mr. Landrum made bis usual trip to
Fairhuru last Friday to see his wife
who is at that place for treatment un
der Dr. P. M. Tidwell. Mr. Lan
drum reports that she will soon be able
to return home, where she will be wel
comed by her many friends, and espec
ially by her husband who is getting
very anxious to see her return.
School will close Friday, 10th, with
a picnic at Dailey’s mill, near this
place. School will open again about
the first Monday in July.

MONDAY MORNING, AT 7:30 O’CLOCK, wc start
the ball rolling with the most unheard-of prices in Dress
Goods, Notions, Ilats, Shoes, Clothing, Millinery, etc., ever
offered in Jackson.
Our Methods
our 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 are ours. As Sam
Jones remarked, “The hit dog always hollows.” Let our
competitors do the hollowing —we are looking after the sell
in f . We are satisfied with our success. Our motto is—
O
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
