Still on Hand.
For a while before the holidays the
fleecy staple was brought to market at
a right lively rate, but siuce that time
the receipts have been about at a
standstill, though almost every farmer
or cropper has one or more on hand
yet. They are s' ill waiting for higher
prices, which do not bid fair to cotne
until the stringency is fully relieved.
If it should there would naturally be a
general rush to market.
Our advice is to strain a point to
hold your cotton till f ir in the summer,
if necessary.
Tostoffleo Moved.
Postmaster Meyer has turned the

Sanders will both attend to the busi

gives much satisfaction to our citizens.
It goes without sayiug that the office
will be run in apple pie order, as soon
as the new appointees get “strung iu,”
as they are both clever aud efficient.
Besides, the office is now more central
ly loca'ed, and wi'l be more convenient
to a larger portion of the business

NO STHINGGN.UY FOll THEM.
The Stewart Mf'-riStlle Co., the
Leader of Low Trices, Tay Xo At
tention to it.
Knowing that nearly all merchants
in this section were feeling more or
less the stringency of the times and
consequent slow colli ctions; that they
were first waiting to gut business mat
ters of 1830 in better slmpe before
opeuiug those for 1891, we were rath
er surprised hy a talk we had the other
day with President Thus 1). Stewart,
of the Stewart Mercantile Company.
We knew that the old tirrn had cariied
on a large credit business during the
year just passed aud naturally supposed
that they would, like their competitors,
wait until matters showed some signs
of changiug before they began any
very gieat effort for trade this year.
Our conversation with Mr. S. convinced
us that we were wrong in our suppo
sition. While he admits that the old
firm still have considerable due them
on last yeat’s accounts, Mr. Stewart
very wisely concludes that that state
of affairs should not deter them from
doing business this year. lie feels
that a great portion of the amounts due
his house will eventually be paid, “and
even if they are not,” says he, “wo are
luckily in such condition that we can
continue business on its past large
scale, and we are goingjto do it.”
“That is why we have placed that
double-column advertisement in The
Weekly,” continued Mr. 8. “Just
now goods can be bought quite low in
large lots for cash. We have taken
advantage of this state of affairs and
have replenished our stock with the
goods in such quantities as will supply
everybody. We aie fully prepared to
make arrangements to furnish any
number of responsible parties their
supplies for this year and we invite all
such to see us before they make their
arrangements. We can guarantee
prices as low or lower than any house
in this section, and will handle only
first class goods.”
’1 he pluck and enterprise of this
house is indeed commendable. It is
what has built them up to its present
position of one of the leading supply
houses in this part of Georgia. Mr.
Stewart, who has direct supervision of
the purchasing and sale department
shows his business tact on every hand.
His partners, Messrs. L. 11. Fargason
and J. B. Dickson, recognize this tact
and are ready vt all times to sanction
it. In fact, they are business men of
rare abilities themselves.
Personally, Mr. Stewart is one ol
the most courteous gentlemen to be
found anywhere. It is indeed a pleas
ure to be tlnown with hi m socially or
in business matters. While he is
strictly business when dealing with his
customers he is at the same time cour
teous, making friends as well as cus
tomeis by his affable manners.
Ask Your Friends
Who have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla
what they think of it, and the replies
will be positive in its favor. One lias

ble cures of scrofula, salt rheum, etc.
Truly, the best adveitising which
Hood’s Sarsaparilla roceives is the
hearty endorsement of its army of
friends.
Will Move to Jackson.
Clevever Billy Hightower lms de
cided to move to Jackson.
lie will open a livery stable down
there and give the people of that me
tropolis a first-class establishment,
where they can procure rigs of the
finest and best, and ride in a style to
satisfy the most exacting taste. In
short, he will show them how to run a
stable in proper and approved shape.
He will purchase bran new horses and
vehicles, and of course will have things
as attractive as could be desired. Billy
is a born livery stable man, and his
friends know his success is assured from
the beginning.
McDonough regrets to lose him, but
we hope he will find his new home
pleasant and agreeable all round. He
will not close his stables here, but will
leave them in charge of Johnnie High
tower, which is a guarantee that they
will continue to be run right. Mr.
Hightower will move with his family
to Jackson on the first of February,
at which time his new stables will be
open for business.
