COLLI Kit.-Dickie W. Collier was born in Ogle
thorpe County, July trtli. INO#, ami died iu ’Jer
rell County, SCpt. Ist. 1871. .
Iu reference to Mr. Collier, it may be truly
said that lie was a noble- model of honesty In those
days of deinorilizatiou, corruption aud dishonesty,
Juall the relations of lif , -saeitixen husband, and
father, be was a model man. Asa husband, he
was most affectionate; as a father, devoted to
bis children ; and as a citizen, was punctual in the
discharge of every obligation devolving upon him
as such.
I ft ought to be known to his honor, that though
lie was encumbered with several old debts and
obligations by security and otherwise, that lie
never sought to avail himself of any of tho legal
suhtifuges furnished by these latter day Legists
tore enactments, /.'ut like an honest man as lie
was, In the sight of God, and before his count ry,
he met every obligation as fast as he could with
out regard to date, and was paying «ff an old so*
eurily debt when stricken down, and hi the pro
; vision of his will, made arrangements for the dis
charge of the last dollar of obligation resting upon
him. .
• Mr. Coltler never connected himself with .any
branch of the Christian Church, but had a most
j profound respect for the go-ai and virtuous. 1 bus
! lived ami died what is said to be the “noblest
workof God, an houest man.’*

la a bleeping vouchsafed to few. Even those
i who have been favored by nature with sUroDg
constitulioi sand vigorous frames are apt to
neglsct the precautions necessary to preserve
these precious endowments. Indeed, as a
mle, the more healthy and robust a man is,
the more liberlies he is inclined to take with
bis own physique. It. is some consolation to
the naturally weak and feeble to know that
they can be so invigorated and built up, by
a proper use of the meane which science has
pla.. and at their di posal, as to have a much
better chance ot long life, and exemptions
from disease and pain, than the most athletic
of their fellows who arc foolish enough to
suppose themselves invulnerable, and act ac
cordingly. |
| I is not 100 much to say that moro than
half the people of the civilized world need
an occasional tonic, to enable them to sup
port the strain upon their bodies and minds,
which the fast life of this restless age occa
sions. In fm t, a pure, w holesome, unexcit
ing tonic is the grand desideratum of the busy I
millions, and they have the article in Ilostet
ter’* Stomach BitUrs. It is a stamina) med
icine, i. e. it imparls permanent strength to
weak systems and invigorates delicate coniii
tuiions. I'S reputation and its sales have
steadily increased. Competitive preparations
have been introduced ad libitum, and, as far
ns the public is concerned, ad nauseutn, in
the hopo of rivalling it; but they have all ei*
tber perished in the attempt, or been left far
in the rear. It has been the great medical
aticcifs of the present century, and it is quite
certaiA that no proprietary medicine in this
eeutil-y is as widely known, or as generally
used.

Having disposed of nil but a remnant of our Groceries, we think proper to
announce that we ahull not replenish that branch of our busin us, a* wo havo
determined to abandon it altogether. This change does not contemplate any

check the rspid growth of our busmese in other departments. In future we
shall devote oursel vec exclusively to

HATS, FURNISHING GOODS, AND NOTIONB
In our Retail Deportment, we sha l offer Dry Goods alone. By Wholesale,

As we seldom fail to make good impressions on merebanW who know their
business, we hope to receive calls from many this season who have Lf.hert
