An Excellent Meeting.
The Presbyterian meeting is still in
progress and continues to be deeply
interesting. No new members have
joined up to the time we go to press,
but large numbers have been in atten
dance and the services are greatly en
joyed. . Rev. Mr. Bachman has • won
the love and confidence of our citizens
of all denominations. His sermons at
tract great admiration from all for
their purity and earnest exhortation for
good. These meetings have already
been productive of much spiritual ele
vation, and whether or not the mem
bership of the immediate church be
enlarged, many have received sweet
blessings which can but be of lasting
benefit. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Dun
can, has been faithful and untiring,
aided by brother Rosser, of the Metho
dist and brother Bledsoe of the Bap
tist church, and all denomination have
worshipped together in beautiful unity.
A Delightful Bain.
This section is enjoying a delightful
seasou as we go to press, from the
effects of a good rain, a light shower
falling splendidly nearly all Wed
nesday morning, and another fine
or.e at night making the supply just
what was needed. We trust our cor
respondents who so longingly announce
the distressing need of the refreshing
visitation, and all others, have been
similarly blessed before their communi
cations are returned to them in print.
The Cemetery.
We are requested by a member of the
ladies’ cemetery .association to state that
a roadway has been made around the
entire inside of the enclosure now, and
there is no necessity for those driving
in the cemetery to go acioss the walks
or graves. The road through the cen
ter also remains. The ladies deserve
<*reat credit for the noble interest they
manifest in and the work they do for
the cemetery.
Clever Hardy Klliott.
A Weekly reporter dropped in on
clever Ilardy Elliott, at Mr. C. R.
Walker’s dry goods store, •-» few days
ago, in search of news, lie could not
learn anything more than that Hardy
was still at the same old place, up to
liis chin in big bargains, and wants all
his old friends to call on him when
needing anything in his line. IV hen
Hardy Elliott fails to treat you right
you had as well give it up, for they
don’t make ’em cleverer than he is.
Our stock of spring and summer
goods is complete. We have the lar
gest and best selected line we ever had,
and feel confident you can get just what
you want. Call and see the beautiful
line. It is a pleasure to show such
pretty goods, even if you do not buy
Copeland & Co.
Young men desiring to attend a Business

Cut out and kept to mark (lie day—

A penknife that would make you laugli,
Some pins and a few scraps of verse,
And a receipt in accents terse,
“T@ Keep a Husband Homo at Night,”
And one to make the hands grow white.
Some samples small of silk and lace,
A bit of powder for the face,
Three Bridge tickets, a faded flower,
Some honboncites of iemyn sour,
A dry goods bill that would appall,
And thirty centlets —
That’s all!

OF
New Spring Goods § Millinery

April 15,16 & 17.
Everything NEW, FRESH and CRISP from the
Looms!
FASHION PLATES GIVEN AWAY.
In order to keep our customers thoroughly posted as to
styles and the changes, we have arranged to buy Fashion
Plates every month, which we will give to our customers
free of charge. Thus another step towards metropolitan
ways has been inaugurated by The New York Store,
The Friend of the Ladies,
The Benefactor of the poor man,
The Enemy of High Prices and the Terror of
Competitors.
5 CENTS FOR 30 DAYS.
A special sale of good quality Calicoes at 5 cents lor 30
days only. Better quality than you will sec anywhere at
this price.
A case of line Ginghams worth 12 1-2 cents everywhere
we will open at 10 cents.
Our stock of Dress Goods cannot be excelled. Special
patterns, one of a kind, all lovely and no two alike. These
must be seen to be appreciated.
THE BIGGEST STOCK MILLINERY
between Macon and Atlanta. Big Bargains. Don’t fail to
see the opening and bring your friends with you. In this
department we have a full line of Ladies’ Underwear, which
is remarkably cheap.
Clothing! Clothing!
We are the Prince of Clothiers! Making a specialty
of it, we are enabled to give a better bargain, a closer and
better tit than those who keep a general and average line.
We have a man who does nothing but sell Clothing, and one
who does nothing but sell Shoes, and they are up in the bus
iness. Suits usually sold for $20.00 wc now offer for $16.50.
You can’t afford to go around on us on Clothing if you would
buy the best for your money.
COME to JACKSON
and to The New York Store, and you will save money. We
are the only merchants between here and Atlanta who had a
buyer in New York this spring. The consequence is
We Have the Choicest Stock to Select from,
The Cheapest Stock to Select * from,
The Largest Stock to Select from,
and we will bring out from time to time many bargains that
fairly make competitors howl. You can’t afford to trade
with merchants who arc behind the times and have nothing
but last year’s styles to show you. They catch on too late.
The New York Store flatters herself that she forges ahead
and is abreast of the times, and leaves no stone unturned by
which they can seive the public by giving them the most,
the best, the latest, for the least money,
THE SMITH ETHERIDGE COMPANY
