Within the pusi year—or, more
■ii-.qii rly ive might say during tlii“
'Uii.tner Lu !It* has nude the most
'apni strides forward of any place we
know of.
Indeed, it would be hard to find a
more talked of place than Luella has
been for some time, the improvements
going on there being the admira
tion of all visitors.
It was our pleasure to spend an
hour or two at this plucky little place
last. Monday evening, aud are pleased
to note that it is justly entitled to all
the good things said of it—aud even
more.
As is well known, Messrs. S. R
Brown & Sous are the moving spirits
here. Last year they bought out Mr.
•Jack Stilwell aud have since been con
ducting a thriving mercantile business.
But last spring they desided to ran
things on a larger 6cale. The result
is the fall season finds Luella one ol
the best equipped towns iu Middle
Georgia for all round busiuess.
Iu tbe first place, the above mention
ed firm built a large new store, and
titled it up iu the neatest aud most con
venient style, which would truly be a
credit to any place. This has been
literally loaded with a stock of general
merchandise, embracing every
thing needed in the community—even
to line dress goods, millinery, ribbons,
etc , for the ladies. The old Stilwel*
store is used for the grocery department
—and in the two combined, any reason
able demand can be readily supplied
But the best part of all for those who
trade there is, they propose not only
to make Luella the most attractive
place, but the cheapest market to be
found anywhere, for all kiuds of goods.
Mr. Jack Stilwell is head clerk, with
Messrs. W. T. Bernhard and Joe Pul
leu to assist him iu the dry goods,
clothing and general merchandise line,
Mr. Joe Pullen iu charge of the groc
eries, aud all customers are given the
most prompt and polite attention.
But now comes the most important
feature yet —the handling of cotton.
In this line we are free to say superior
advantages can be found nowhere.
They have just completed the finest
aud best ginnery to be had. It is a
large brick building, supplied with the
Muuger gins and full system, and needs
to be seen to be properly appreciated.
From the time cotton is taken from the
wagon, it is scarcely touched by hand
until it reaflhes the railroad platform in
perfect bales—even the seed being eith
er delivered, or sold and deposited,
withoat the Idast trouble. One of the
most unique features here, too, is a
re.voiviug packing press, which is oper
ated with the greatest rapidity and
ease. Then again the engine which
runs all this machinery is a model of
perfection. It is an Erie City Auto
matic, furnished through Mr. J. H.
Wallace, aud set up by Mr. John Smith,
McDonough’s excellent machinist. It
is a fifty-five horse power, and Mr.
Smith accomplished the important task
of placing it without a hitch, prououuc
iug it the “best one in the busiuess."
Then comes the splonded warehouse
—a large brick building, 60x100 feet.
This. as well as the ginnery, is covered
with sheet iron, has a capacity 2000
bales, aud is practically fire proof—in
short, a model warehouse in every res
pect. This department «is all under
tbe superiutendency of Mr. Ed Adams,
and more complete arrangements for
the handling of eottou, from first to
last, would bs difficult to imagine.
Outside of the Messrs. Brown, there
is only one other business bouse at
Luella. It is conducted by Mr. A. R.
Martiu, a clever, nice gentleman, who
carries a good stock aud seems to be
doing well. They have a neat, com
fortable depot, with telegraph office,
both in chrrge of Agent Waller, and
have ample facilities in this line.
In conclusion wqcau but say, hurrah
far Luella! Here is an admirable ex
ample of what capital, energy and de
termination will do. Enterprise will
tell, and The Weekly wishes the
laudable undertakers in it all success.
It is impossible to describe every
thing just as-it is. Read advertisement
go and ton for yourself, and you cannot
fail to be pleasi^i.
NLW YORK WORLD,
TIIKICE-A-WEEK EDITION.
The Twice-a-week edition of the
New York World has been converted

pages every week, at the old price of
ONE DOLLAR a year. This eives
156 papers a year for One Dollar and
every paper has 6 pages eight columns
wide or 48 columns in ail. The Thrice
a-week World is not only much larger
than any weekly or semi weekly news
paper, but it furnishes the news with
much greater frequency and prompt
ness. In fact it combines all the crisp,
fresh qualities of a daily with the at
tractive special features of a weekly.

Tent Mooting Closed.
The tent meeting which was openeo
Sy Dr. J. W. Blosser in McDonough
one week ago last Sunday, closed Tues
day uight, aud the general verdict it
that it was one of the best meetings
ever held here.
It was truly inspiring to see the
members of all denominations worship
ing together in such beautiful unison
for the conversion of souls, aud the re
suit is prououuced by tbetu some of the
sweetest religious experiences of their
lives.
Verily, it seems that tbe prayers of
our good people for a gentrne revival
in McDonough have been answered.
Thirty-four members were added to the
different churches, and while it is true
this number might have been greater,
never before were the beauties of Uhris
tiau fellowship more touchingly maui
fested, and many were tbe testimonies
of blessings received by members of all
the churches.
New members were left entirely free
to join whatever church they preferred,
aud all of them we understand received
additions.
Our good people feel that the coming
of Dr. Blosser among them was, by
the help of the Lord, a great blessing,’
aud both himself aud family carry with
them the prayers aud best wishes of a
host of new made friends.
The tent was moved to Jonesboro
Wednesday morning, by private con
veyance, friends in the country volun
teering the use of their teams.
Dr. Blosser aud family remain among
frieuds in McDonough until today, tak
ing a much needed rest.
Flint River Association.
One week from tomorrow (Saturday)
the Flint River Association convenes
in McDonough.
In behalf of our good citizens, The
Weekly extends a cordial welcome to
the delegates, with the assurance that
our hearts and homes are freely open
to them, and the hope that the coming
of the Association to McDonough may
bo a mutual blessing, pleasant and prof
itable alike to all.
We are requested to inform all our
citizens, that when they have applies
tions of any nature in regard to the
care of delegates for the Association, it
unable to answer them personally, they
are requested to direct them to Mr. J.
B. Dickson, who is prepared to answer
all inquiries and see that they are pro
vided for.
It is an honor for McDonough toen
tertain this large and important body
of good Christian people, aud we repeat
that we are glad to have them and the
homes of our people will be heartily
thrown open to them.
Again we say welcome !

We have determined to make LUELLA the best all

ses of every kind—and towns anywhere within ten mile*
around us simply “won’t be in it.”
We intend to make LUELLA an ideal home market—
the trading place of the masses, where the greatest values
lor the least money can always he had, where the people
can always be served promptly and politely—and we want
to enlist them with us. Our facilities enable us to buy to
very best advantages, and we carry all the time an immense
stock— a Specialty of
Fine Shoes, Fine Dress Seeds and Clothing,
At prices that are just simply UNEQUALED. We will
give unheard of Bargains, and all we ask is that you see and
price our goods before you buy.
We extend to all a presssing invitation to visit our store
and we will show you the biggest stock and lowest prices
you have seen in a long time.

We have the most complete ginning outfit in Middle
Georgia—the Monger Patent, of Birmingham—and are pre
pared to handle all your cotton in the very best and most
satisfactory manner. The building and equipments are the

We also have a large brick warehouse and can furnish all
the accommodation necessary in this line. Will also buy
cotton and pay the very TOP OF TIIE NOTCH.
Come to see us! and you will find it to your intbkk.s'*,
either to sell cottna, buy good*, or trade most any way.
