If the Senoia, Grantville and Pal metto merchants don’t make substan tial acknowledgment to “Vincent, “Arden” and “Nemo” for- the admira bly prepared business reviews of those towns, as published in Tiie Herald and Advertiser this week and last, we shall be surprised.

Returned last Saturday from New York, whither he went about four weeks ago to purchase his fall and winter stock of dry goods, and is now busily engaged in receiving and opening the same. He has bought an immense stock and promises such a dis play in the dry goods line as will aston ish the people. He and his force are hard at work unpacking and marking the goods as they arrive, and will soon be ready to throw open their doors to the public. Meanwhile, he will endeav or to find time during the coming fort night to prepare some remarks which he desires to make through this paper, pending which he can only ask his cus tomers to wait and watch.

Fpuse, Tom Barron and “Tim” Mitchell ran suddenly up on a huge snake that was slowly wind ing along the sidewalk in front of Swint’s store. Tom danced a jig up a flight of stairs, three at a bound. “Tim’s” first jump landed him in the middle of the street, and the next placed him entirely out of harm’s way. Messrs. Fouse and McClendon attempt ed to pass each other and were wedged together—the irresistible meeting the immovable. At this thrilling juncture a cotton string, with a small boy at one end and a toy snake at the other, disappeared around the corner. Death of Col. J. L. Calhoun. A telegram was received here Wednes day afternoon conveying the sad intelli gence of the deatli of Col. J. L. Calhoun, father of Mrs. Geo. Jones, of this city, which occurred at his home in Mont gomery tiie same day. The remains were brought to Newnan for interment, arriving on the noon train yesterday. The funeral took place at 4 o’clock in the afternoon, from the residence of Maj. George Jones, and was largely at tended. Deceased formerly resided in Newnan and was one of our most prominent and prosperous citizens, llis numerous friends in the communi ty will be deeply pained to hear of his death. The remains were'accompanied from Montgomery by Mrs. J. L. Cal houn, Mr. Thomas Calhoun and Mr. Erwin Jones. Deceased was 73 years of age at the time of his death. “He Doesn’t Want the Earth.” This is the modest exclamation with which our enterprising young friend, Mr. I. P. Bradley, prefaces an interest ing communication that appears on our first page this week, but it should be taken cum grano salis. He is not so modest as to neglect an opportunity for presenting his claims to the public in the usual way—?’, e., through the columns of Tiik Herald and Advek- outpur of the mill for eight or nine months past has averaged two tons, or twelve tons per week. This has been sold as fast as manufactured and the mill is yet behind with its orders. New calenders and a powerful rotary boiler weighing eighteen thousand pounds have been purchased and will be placed in position in a few days. Other new machinery has been secured also, the whole costing between four and five thousand dollars. The mill is the property of Major U. B. Wilkinson and cost originally between sixty and seventy-five thousand dollars. It is locat ed at Banning, on the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad, and the recent unprecedented demand for the products of the mill loads us to hope that this may yet become a leading in dustry in our section. Indeed, there is no reason why it should not, and un der the present efficient management there is ever}’ inducement to believe that it will. "When the new machinery now being received is put up the mill will be prepared to turn out a fine grade of book, writing and inanilla papers. They have their own depot, erected for their own use, within a stone’s throw of the mill. The entire product is han dled by John R. Wilkinson & Brother, wholesale paper dealers, Atlanta,. Ga. A Bier Concern. Now that the fall season is upon us, and winter almost in sight, the people will soon begin to cast about for the best place to trade—aiul by the “best place” we mean the store where the best goods can be obtained for the least money. Our merchants are all enterprising, clever and well-stocked; consequently, when we refer to the large and elegant stock of fall and winter goods now being received by Messrs. Hardaway & Hunter it must not be un derstood that we mean to make any invidious comparison;—we simply de sire to do justice to one of our largest, most enterprising firms, who seek by fair and legitimate* methods only to keep their business prominently before the public. For several days past they haVe done little else than receive and unpack their new goods, which are arriving by al most every train. Their stock of cloth ing is now all in, and comprises perhaps the most choice selection in this line fliat they have ever carried. They have suits rangiug in price all the way from $5 to $25, and, to use Jim Lever- ett’s expression, can fit anything that wears breeches—from a Griffin dude to* a South Sea Islander. They have also a large and attractive variety of dress goods, notions, etc., and other feminine .specialties too numerous to mention. Their shoe department is literally bulging with fullness. They sell nothing but the old reliable “Bay State” boots and shoes. Indeed, they have handled goods of no other manufacture for sev en years past, and are the exclusive agents for Newnan. Their present stock comprises over twenty different styles, and as an evidence of the-gen uineness of the goods manufactured i by the “Bay State Company,” every pair of boots or shoes bearing their camel’s hair, ladies’ cloth, cashmere, or fine worsted of any kind, he was care ful in each instance to get trimmings, buttons, etc., to match. Consequently, when he sells a dress pattern he can furnish everything needed to finish it. He has not yet received all his goods, but those that have arrived are attract ing considerable attention in fenunind circles. One customer, who has been trading heretofore in Atlanta, bought a handsome black silk, for which shtp paid only $1.50 per yard. Last season she bought a similar pattern in Atlanta and paid $3.00 per yard for it, and she candidly admits that there is no apparent difference in the texture or weight of the goods. Another lady bought an elegant plush jacket for $30. Still anotlier customer bought a richly embroidered box dress pattern for $15 that could not be had in Atlanta ‘ for less than $20. We might mention numerous other instances going to show the disparity that exists between exorbitant prices and legitimate profits, as charged here and in Atlanta, but the above will sufJ fice for the present. Mr. Buchanan is determined to place his goods where they will be seen, and having been seen and examined he is not at all dubious as to the effect it will have. Primarily, he has undertaken this venture for the profit there is in it, of course; but if other merchants here will unite with him in trying to keep our people from going to Atlanta for .such goods as he proposes to keep, it will not be long be fore Atlanta will lose her attractions for this community—not longer, at any rate, than will be required by ocular demonstration to convince them that they can do just as well here, if not» better, and save the expense of a trip to Atlanta, which in itself amounts to a very neat profit. He is very busy this week, getting Ins goods up; but in our next issue he will tell you exactly what he proposes to do. P A Good Investment—300 to 1—Read. Quitman, Ga., May l«th, 1887.— M.
