JACKSON, GEORGIA,
1895. FALL SEASON, 1895.
| VJ I
The tide has turnded and is sweeping in; good old times are returning; with big crops and good prices we are all bound to feel better.
Our buyers have just returned from the Eastern markets; we are preparing for a big season’s business; our storerooms are filled from end to end, bottom to
%
top With goods bought at tne lowest possible prices. In June last our buyer anticipated a big advance in all heavy cotton goods; on the strength of this belief he
bought (32) thirty-two bales and cases of Sheeting, Checks, Drills, Cotton Flannel, Bleached Goods, etc., at the lowest price they ever reached. (If any one doubts
us having this big stock of Cotton Goods, come and see.) We propose to sell to our customers at prices lower than any merchant can get them from the factory.
Wili give them to you at old prices. . Our buyer’s judgment and foresight will be worth dollars to you.
SHOES, SHOES : As Joeseph of old was warmed in a dream to fill his garners before the famine, so our buyer had a vision of higher prices in Shoes. He
visited Boston about the first of March, and there bought thousands of Shoes at the lowest price they had ever been known, to be shipped in September and
October. Other houses may advertise and think (the drummer told them so) they bought their shoes before the advance. But when you get ready to buy our
Shoes you will soon see who is giving the best leather for the least money.
CLOTHING, CLO THING !—Our Mr. Hampton Daughtry is recognized as being the best clothing man and the best clothing buyer in this section. He visited
the big clothing markets and scoop 3d up-Well, don.t you fail to come in, look at them. You will wonder, “ How can they be so cheap.”
WE WANT YOUR TRADE !—Come to our store and make yourself at home!

FLINT KIVKK ASSOCIATION.
Highly Interesting, Successful and
Pleasant Was the Meeting at
McDonough.
The annual meeting of the Elint
River Baptist-Association was held in
McDonough last Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, and we are pleased to note
that it was one of the best and most
successful iu the history of this impor
tant body.
Rsv. T. I). O’Kelly of Griffin
preached the opening sermon Saturday
morning, delivering a very able and
interesting discourse.
Ihe attendance was full during the
entire session, but Sunday perhaps the
largest crowd of the kind ever saen iu
McDonough was preseut. The large
arbor iu the big spring grove was filled
to overflowiog, and the lowest estimate
is that there were not less than two
thousand people on the grounds
Some of the leading Baptist divines
of the State attended the meeting,
among them Dr. G. A. Nunnally, Dr.
Gibson, Dr. Woolsey, I)r. Hatcher and
others, and the preaching was very able
and highly interesting—services being
conducted at all the churches, as cir
cumstances warranted, so that all were
afforded ample opportunity for hearing.
At 11 o'clock Sunday Dr. Woolsey
delivered au excellent missionary ser
mon at the stand, while Dr. Nunnally
occupied the Presbyterian pulpit, de
livering to his hearers what they pro
nounced one of the best sermons they
ever heard. At night the Baptist,
Methodist and both colored churches
were occupied by the visiting ministers.
The busiuess of the session was high
ly satisfactory throughout, the reports
of all the churches being good, and
some of them above an average. Rev.
E. M. liooteu of Hampton was elected
moderator, and Hon. W. T. Kimsey of
Jonesboro re elected clerk
A handsome sum was raised Sunday
morning for the Association school at
Locust Grove.
is prouounced one of
the best associations yet held, entire
harmony and brotherly love prevailing
all through, and I hose who attended
were not only well pleased, but highly
interested.
It was a pleasure to McDonough to
entertain these good people, and our
citizens trust their stay here has been
productive of much good and as pleas
ant to them as us.
May they all live to enjoy many
more such occasions, and whenever the
time arrives their’return here will be
welcome
Killing At Hampton.
A horrible cutting affair occurred at
Hampton last Saturday night, by which
a colored man named West Varner lost
his life, and John Biown and Jack
Butler, two white men, are now in jail
here, charged with the crime.
It seetns that the white men sent
the negro somewhere for a bottle of
wine, but he failed to get it. When
he returned an 1 demanded his pay. a
fight ensued, the negro being badly
gashed in several places anil his throat
cut from ear to ear.
Brown and Butler live ju«t beyond
Hampton, where they were arrested
Sunday morning by Deputy Moore and
brought to jail. Vainer lingeied until
Tuesday night, in a pitiable condition,
win n he died.
There were no witnesses to the crime,
but in a postmortem statement Varner
charged it to the aoove parties, saying
one held him while the other cut him.
The coroner's jury rendered a ver
dict charging Butler with murder, and
Brown accessory.
•Mr. Matt Maddox exhibited in Mc-
Donough one day this week s irne of
the finest specimens of mica (or tvhat
is commonly known a 3 Dingle glass)
we ever saw. The sheets were about
10x15, and perfectly transparent.
Mr. Maddox has a large bed of it rear
Mouely’s mill, in which is a large clesr
rock weighing about a thousand pounds.
This discovery was made several years
ago, but no definite steps liar'" yet been
taken to develop the mine. When
done it is bound to prove o! great
value.
We learn that a little two year old
daughter of Mr. J. L. Moore was
burned to death in Hampton last Tues
day afteruoon. Bhe was playing with
her 4 year old sister, who accidentally
set firs to bar dress, ‘with this awful
result.
