New York Merchants
;'
Can't Buy Bass’ Stock.
Within the last few days we have received numerous inquir
ies from parties in New York and other Eastern Cities, wishing
to buy our entire stock in a lump and ship it to other points. To
all vye replied NO. Our stock will be sold at retail to the people
of Spalding and surrounding counties.
We are under lasting obligations to thousands of friends and
customers who have patronized us so liberally during the thirty
odd years we have been in the mercantile business, and it is our
desire that they receive the profit of our magnificent stock in this
Closing Out Sale, which will bring the business of Bass Brothers
Co. to an end on Dec. 31st.
We have arranged for a special sale of Furniture, Men's and
Boy s Clothing, Shoes, Dry Goods, Millinery and Ladies' Suits
every day during the Fair, which will commence next Monday
November 11th.
Our sales force is being constantly increased, and all who
visit the Big Store will receive the very best service possible.
We are glad that so many people from this county are taking ad
vantage of the very low prices we are making, in supplying their
winter needs. Great crowds attend this Bargain Carni/ai every
day. Bring a little money amd get the goods.
Cur large wagon yard and many hitching stalls are free to
the trading public.
Reduced rates on ail railroads to Griffin during the Fair.

GOVERNOR WILSON
SWEEPS COUNTRY.
Democrat Ticket Wins more Than
Double Electoral Votes of
Combined Opposition.
DEMOCRATS INCREASE LEAD IN CONGRESS. SENATE IN DOUBT.
Governor Woodrow Wilson and Governor Thomas R. Marshall
carried the Democratic banner to an overwhelming victory in Tues
day’s presidential election.
Fairly complete returns have been received as we go *o press.
They leave no doubt that the Democrats have secured an immense
majority of the electoral vote. The score will probably exceed 400.
Roosevelt ran second with about 112 votes and Taft third with 8.
All the New England states, except New Hampshire, vtent for Wil
son and it is still in doubt.
Wilson won all the large states, except Illinois and Pennsylvania,
which are doubtful, though probably for Roosevelt.
The Democratic majority in Congress has been increased but the
Senate is still in doubt.
Woodrow Wilson, a Southern man with a Georgia wife, is our next
President.
In Henry County the vote was: Wilson 535, Roosevelt 122, Taft 15,
Georgia gave Wilson about 45,000 majority.
