That beautiful planet which you can
now nightly see gHttering so in the
heavens is Jupiter, said to be equal in
size to aliout 1,300 worlds the size of
our gloJie Astronomers say that on a
moonless night nearly 3,000 stars can
be seen with the naked eye, while with
a good telescope more than 50,000 are
visible, but none of them are compara
ble in beauty and brilliancy with Ju
piter.

NELSK TOMLINSON
Cremes Trouble Again anil (Jets n
a Sou ml Thrashing.
-
Sheriff Glass lias had more trouble
with Nelse Tomlinson, hut this time
while he was behind the bars.
On last Sunday Morning the Sheriff
was detained in Atlanta until the
morning train, not arriving here until a
short while before 8 o’clock This
caused the prisoners to he later than
usual in getting their breakfast, which
angered Nelse to such an extent that
he was abusive and insulting in his re
marks when breakfast reached him.
The Sheriff reproved him, telling him to
behave himself or he would he pun
ished. At this Nelse flew into a rage,
threw his bucket on the floor and
cursed the Sheriff in a most daring
manner, until it was more than Sheriff
Glass could bear, when lie laid hold of
the refractory negro and gave him a
genteel beating over the head with
the large jail key. This subdued him,
and he has sinco apologized and not
only given no further trouble, hut is
one of the most humble prisoners in
jail. He states that he is sorry lie act
ed so, and does not know what caused
him to do it.
Sheriff Glass regrets that his temper
got the best of him, as he always re
grets to use harsh means with his pris
oners, but in this instance i.o man
scarcely could have controlled himself.
The Sheriff had been informed by
an ex-prisoner that there was a plot
among the present inmates to over
power him the first oppertunity and
liberate themselves, w hich has caused
him to keep an extra close watch. It
is thought that Nelse’s failure to obtain
this opportunity probably di appointed
him aud caused him to give way to
this fit of anger, lie is a dangerous
man, whom it is always unsafe to hud
dle.
Theie is an unusually large number
of prisoners m jail, some of whom are
charged with grave crimes, and too
much care cannot be exercised in
watching them.
Our Cotton Market.
Mr. Hal Barham was in the city one
day this week, and, we learn, stated
that McDonough was paying better
prices for cotton than any market in
his section, Griffin not even excepted.
Another instance that goes to show the
superiority of our market is a transac
tion of Mr. 11. B. Neal firing the
week, lie carried some cotton from
his Meriwether plantation ,n Griffin,
where he was offered 8 cents for it,
but shipped it over the Georgia Mid
land to McDonough, aud got cents.
Still another significant fact is that Mc-
Donough’s buyers are resident citizens.
Other places, some of which receive
even less cotton, have foreign buyers,
but whenever these men come to Mc-
Donough they remaiu only a few days.
They simply find our home buyers too
much for them and abandon the field.
We could say more, hut it is useless—
those who have cotton to sell can see at
once where to bring it.
I>r. Ilawley.
Just one week ago Dr. Hawley ar
rived in the city with his patent medi
cine and free minstrel accompaniment
—and since that time such sights, per
haps, have never before been witnessed
in McDonough.
Immense crowds have thronged in
each night, until it seems unaccountable
where all the people come from. No
one would have thought they were in
and aruund McDonough—indeed, the
public'squaie is laterally packed.
Aud the doctor has managed these
large crowds with remarkable success.
As regularly as night comes they have
enjoyed themselves and gone home
pleased. If the doctor has had occa
sion to reprove he did so in such a gen
tle manuei as to offend no one ; yet he
is positive and has the very best of or
der, for which we have heard warm
expressions of approval. Not the
slightest disturbance has been heard so
far, and everything has passed off
pleasantly.
His medicine, too, has sold at a won
derful rate—indeed, from the quantities
he has dealt out, it would seem that
there was not a single sound person in
the community. Everybody has bought
it—or words to that effect.
And the end is not yet —still the
crowds come and still the medicines go.
After all, the best way to know the
real merit of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, is to

Startling Prices!
Solution of the Question of the Hour:
The way to make 7c cotton go as far as ioe cotton is to
buy your goods at
The New York Store in Jackson.
The New York people were anxious to sell—time was
short—money was needed—they were compelled to sell.
Our Buyer struck the market at its most critical moment,
and well, he was kind enough to pay the freight on them
home. Rest assured the Bottom was scraped, In
fact, we have marked down lots of goods already in stock
because the new goods were so much cheaper.
Blioos. Boots. SiLoes.
Here is a bonanza to the people who buy and wear Shoes.
Our Buyer found them—nobody was around—and he picked
them up.
Let Prices do the Talking :
All solid Leather flesh split Boots, only $1,25 pair; just
think of it, worth $2.00 any and everywhere. A splendid
child’s Grain Cap Toe Shoe, sto 8, only 35cts a pair. Did
you ever? The same shoe sells tor soots everywhere.
Brogan Shoes only 75cts pair—jewhilikins! they sell ev
everywhere else for $1.25, and are advertised as bargains.
Women's Dongola Button Shoes only 1.25 pair, the same
that sell tor 1.75 elsewhere. Ladies Fine Dongola Button
Dress Shoes lor only 1.50, worth 2.00 elsewhere. The best
woman’s eyery day Shoe in the world for 1.00.
Boys’ Balmoral Shoes at only 75cts, worth 1.25 the world
over. The above are blood Curdling prices, and are
paralizers to would be competitors. Besides these special
ties is a full and complete stock of Boots and Shoes from
the following well known manufacturers—
Zeigler Brothers,
East New York Shoe Co.,
Charles Heisler,
Bay State Shoe & Leather Co.,
Marcey Bros. & Co.,
Eagle Shoe Co.
All of which we will sell at prices that cannot be touched
by those who handle jobbers’ shoes. No misrepresentations
allowed—prefer to miss your trade to losing your confidence.
Straight lorword dealing straight from the shouldci is our
motto.
Jackson is Ihe place to sell your cotton, The New York
