It is the best place in Georgia to live, and we ought to let other people know it. Oidiuary Nelson has received a 1 irge lot of choice seed from Congres-man John D.

It is estimated that American wo men use paint enough on their faces to color 37,000 ordinary sized houses one year, at the rate of $73 per Louse. Hicks’ prediction that January would he a cold, hard month has been amply verified so far. It is surprising what a “grip” the cold weather is holding on with. An editor in announcing his mar riage says : “We have taken this step for better or for worse ; but it is a poor woman that can’t support one ed itor.” A communication from “Bill Snooks,” and resolutions by Mt. Beth el F. A , arrived two late for publica tion in this issue, but will appear in our next. We are requested to state that any one having a copy of “Sut Lovengood” can dispose of it at a reasonable [.rice hy letting the fact be known at this office. 11 Our Presbyterian brethren are pie paring to make some necessary changes in the arrangement of their pulpit, in order that the preacher’s voice may he better reflected.

An exchange pertinently remarks : You never hear the man who keeps things moving, complaining. The hus tler has a faculty of being contented, as well as of “getting there.” An exchange says that every time the Lord makes a woman he changes the pattern. Personal observation proves this to he correct, for no two have ever been seen alike If you have a fiiend or a relative living at a distance subscribe for Thk Weekly and send it to them. It will be a nice piesent that will save you the trouble of writing letters. While in conversation with friends recently on topics of minor importance the question was asked, “What be comes of the mules and furniture brought ; nt.o this county ?” Can you tell, reader ? Mr. W. B. Kimbell has made a bus iness engagement with the Walton County Guano Company, at Social j Circle, and began his duties at that' place last week. His family will still reside in McDonough. One g 'oci school is enough for Mc- Donough, and a full unity of action should be continued upon the part ef ail our citizens to make it such an one. I In any town where her school is her first pride it is bouud to prosper. The Weeklt desires to urge upon our citizens the importance of patron- izitig home institutions and spending their money with home enterprises, for by that means alone can we hope to build up and make a flourishing city. Judge and Mrs. Class, who have been so low with sickness at their home 'n Tunis, were both a little improved yesteiday morning. This will be good uews to their many friends, who wish them speedy aud permanent recovery. Let the monied men of this commu nity invest their surplus capital in man ufactories. They are needed. They will make our town boom. The time lias passed when a town can depend on mercantile business alone for prosper ity. We regret to learn that Mr. W. T. Petty, our correspondent at Flat Rock, will move to A'lanta next week. He is a good citizen, and Henry county sustains a loss iu his removal. Ilis mother and her family go with him and they will all reside there in fui ture. He Fell Asleep. William E.

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 offie over to Mr. C. A. McKibben and Wednesday it was moved to the old David Knott store, now occupied by Mr. Sanders. Messrs. McKibben aud Sanders will both attend to the busi nes of the office, and the arrangement 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 men. liailey-Merrett. Yesterday evening at six o’clock at i he residence of the bride’s father, Mr. Tip Merrett, near Locust Grove, Miss Mamie Merrett and Mr. John T. Bai ley, of Greenwood, were united in mar liage by Rev. James Kimball. A large circle of relatives and friends were present. The tables were beautifully decorated and loaded down with good tilings to gratify the inner man. The presents were numerous and beautiful. Mr. and Mis. Bailey will reside for a time at Greenwood, where Mr. Bailey is connected with the G. M. &C. S. railroad. We wish them success.—Middle Georgia Farm er, 15th inst. Dangerously 111. Ilev. J. A.

Harper received a telegram from that place a few days siuce stat ing that he had grown w orse, and but little hope of his recovery was en ter tained. In c-mnuon with the mem bers of his charge, McDouough extends him much sympathy in his sore afflic tion, and trusts he may yet be spared to seive 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 been cured of indigestion and dyspep sia, another finds it indispensable for sick headache, others report reinaika 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.
