Mr. Evrror:—The time has
arrived when every mau must
look to his own interest while deal
ing with his fellow man. The
time jwas when men, in buying
goods, could afford to call for what
they wanted pay for it without
ever asking the price of the goods.
Now, however, the times have
changed aud men are not able to
aflord this extravigant manner of
trading. The shortness of the cot
ton crop, the low prices and the
caterpillars all combine against the
farmers of this country and make
them put vn their thinking caps to
make both ends meet. They are
not such reckless buyers, but are
learning to look zround and find
out where the most goods for the
least money can be ehtained.
When they find such a merchan—
ti'e house they always flock there
to buy their goods., Perhaps there
are many business houses in Daw
son thet are aill O. K, and deal
fuirly and squarely with their ¢ s
tomers, but lam perfectly certain
that there iz one who ulways kees
as fine a supply of Family and
Faney Groceries as any one could
desive, whose Flour, Sa.ar aud
Cotlee is of the best qualities, and
the prices lowest. Whose stock of
Tobacco and Cigars eannot be sur
passed in Southwest Georgia. Who
keeps always on hand the largest
stock of whiskies in the city. This
house is M ajor Mimy, who isa
live merchantand buys his goods
for the cash, getting the benefit of
the discounts, I would advise the
‘people to give Mr. Mims a call bea
{furc buying and learn for them
‘selves what his goode are worth

on the Westun and Atlantick rale-I‘
rode, Mr. Brady’s Johannah bill
Seems to be kickin up the bigest
dust in the Legeslacher at present,
an I rite these few lines in order
to ax your opinion er bout hit.
That Mr Brady’s motives are good
noboddy questions, but the bill is |
the thivg under cornsideration,
Now Mr, Editer hit seems to me
that Mr. Brady tuck the wussest
time that he could er possably got
fur the intrerduction of sitch a
measure. This haz bin a powerfull
guod crap year, that is so fur, aud ‘
sitch a billaz Mr. Bradys haint'
kneeded at all. Ef he had er
struck the Legeslacher wid hit in
1883 lam satisfied hit would erl
passed boath houses lack a bob tail '
herrykane, but folks is makin '
plenty cotton this year an they l
haint got no use fur no siteh er
bill. They will pay fur ther je
hannah regardless uv whut Mr.
Brady er noboddy clee says. Hit
seems ter me thet Mr. Brady's bill
issolely a dry weather measure
and twould er looked er heap bet
ter ef he had er waited till a dry
season to fotch hit forward, but
politics 1380 unsartin, et a fellcr
don’t make his record the fust time
he gits to the Legeslacher he may
nevergit thar agin. You never
seed a man in your life Mr. Editer
that thought johannah wuz any
count when seasons wuz dry and
craps wuz po, and I never seed a
man but whut thought he had
struck the right brand of johannah
when seasons wuz rainy and craps
wuz good lack they is this year.
Ef Mr. Brady's bill passes Lit
will put about one half of the far
mers of Georgia where they kant
git no johannah at all, and raise
the price to be paid by tother half,
This will be a bad state of affairs—
for some of the best farmers in the
state tell us that the judicious use
of johannah is ot great advantage
to the firmer, specially in the wire
grass section of thestate, Ibleave
the greatest trouble wid some folks
is, they will go and by a mixture
whose prenciple factor exist already
in great abuzdance on the land
where the mixture is to be used,
consequently it is ot little or no
value- Now, under Mr. Brady’s
bill the byer of this mixture, bekase
he don’t make a good erap kan
plead a failure of consideration. I
promised at the beginning to ax
your erpinion—well here is whut I
wants to know which is the wussest?
for a men to plead a failure ot con
sideration on a johannah note be
kase he dont make a good crap or
