NO, THANKS!
I don’t want the earth! I
shall be satisfied with a reasona
ble fragment of it! Some men
would probably gobble the entire
globe if they had a chance; but
I am no hog! All that I want
is a fair share of the public pat
ronage ; and if, after comparing
my goods and prices with those
of other enterprising merchants,
the average wayfarer does not
yield me the palm for selectness,
quality, cheapness and general superiority, why then I will call
in my friends, divide out my goods and chattels and retire from
the field. In these piping times it is useless to try to do bus
iness unless you have money, experience and gall sufficient to
sustain you in competition with the Ishmaelites of the mer
cantile profession. Recognizing the importance of these val
uable aids to success, I flatter myself that I am fairly well
equipped for the fray, and bid defiance to all competitors.
Now, do not be misled by these desultory remarks. I would
not have you believe that I am one of the Vanderbilt heirs, or
Ithat I have a resident buyer in New York, or that I have been
in business since before the war, or that I expect to run an
auction house. Neither assumption would be just to me, nor
to fhe veracious medium through which this announcement
will find its way to the public. I simply mean that I have a
large and well-assorted stock of CLOTHING, DRY GOODS,
GROCERIES, etc., and am selling them at prices that will
bring tears to the eyes of my esteemed competitors when they
find it out. But I can’t help their embarrassment. If they
oversleep themselves and allow me to get the drop on ’em in
the matter of mercantile bargains, it is not my lookout. I
sometimes find it necessary to sit up at night in order to do
this, but it is one of the hardships of the trade that must be
occasionally endured. Indeed, I frequently toss upon my
sleepless pillow for hours at a time, devismg schemes whereby
I can best serve my customers with the cl^icest there is in the
land, and at prices that they will be forced to esteem as bless
ings in disguise.
My stock of Clothing, Gents’ Furnishing Goods, Shoes,
Hats, Dry Goods, etc., is fastidiously select, and will bear close
comparison with any similar lines kept here or elsewhere.
My stock of Groceries comprises everything needed in the
way of eatables, and is always large enough to supply the de
mand—whether for cash or on time.
YOUNG MAN, IF I CAN
Catch your eye, I would like to
call your attention to my large
and varied assortment of Gents’
Furnishing Goods, Shirts, Col
lars, Cuffs, Hosiery, Underwear,
• Neckwear, Handkerchiefs, etc.
I* I keep the latest, nobbiest styles
*and make a specialty of all goods
in this department. .
The celebrated “Pearl Shirt”
^is one of my-post popular lead-
"ers. Made jp order, if desired.
keep alsfe a complete line of samples,, including the finest
Cassimeres, Cloths, etc. Will take your measure and insure
as good a fit and in as late and fashionable style as can be se
cured from any tailor in the country, and at half the cost.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Senola.
Mr. Editor:—The weather is dis
tressingly dry and hot, with hojies for
and prospects of rain occupying rather
distant relative positions—though the
fanners are turning the dry weather to
good account, being now very busy
gathering their cotton. The yield has
been reduced fully 25 per cent, through
out this section, and some claim more
than that.
The Senoia Ginning and Manufac
turing Company is now in full operation
and tfoes beautiful work. The engine,
boiler and all the running gear was put
up by the R. D. Cole Manufacturing
Company, of your city, and is a model
of mechanical perfection. There are
four 60-saw Gullet gins, with all the
labor-saving attachments, in operation.
They can gm and pack thirty-five bales
of cotton per day; or, on a push, can
gin andpaek one bale in twenty min-
utfes. The stockholders seem well
pleased with their enterprise, which
S romises to be a fine success. Mr. C.
Sasser is general manager of the
concern, who is showing commendable
pluck and energy in his position.
Cotton is coming in quite freely and
readily brings 8fc. Our town is sup
plied with live, energetic buyers, who
will always pay the top of the market,
according to grade. The market will
be well supplied with funds at all times,
so that the planter may always count
on getting the cash for his cotton.
Our two warehouses are doing a live
ly business in their line. Indeed, it
could not well be otherwise, with such
live, active voung men as Messrs. Leach
& Jones at the Brick Warehouse, and
Messrs. W. F. Sibley & Co. at the Bag-
garly Warehouse. Their former rec
ord for fair dealing, and their long ex
perience, is a sufficient guarantee of
competency in the management of this
ivportant branch of our trade.
We have two livery stables—one kept
by J. C. Hardv, and the other by J. J.
BelL Their stock of horses and vehi
cles are in good trim, and they are al
ways ready to minister to the wants of
their customers with good turnouts, at
reasonable prices. The best evidence
of this is the very liberal patronage
they have received heretofore.
Messrs. Hand & Lindsey will move
into their new store to-morrow (Thurs
day.) Their new building is quite at
tractive, and will be specially so when
filled with the large stock of goods they
are now receiving.
Messrs. Graham & Addy will at the
same time move into the store vacated
by Hand & Lindsey and fill it with a
fine assortment of newly selected goods.
Mr. Elam Deracken has a very nice
assortment of furniture, which he offers
at prices that will compare favorably
with those that rule in other markets.
In view of the short lease we all
have on life, when the end of the
journey is reached and all the cares
and toils are over, Mr. Elam Deracken
and Messrs. Couch and Shields keep a
very nice line of coffins—which can be
had, when needed, at prices suited to
the station and style of the prospective
deceased.
We are extremely gratified at the
business outlook for our town. Trade
has been very satisfactory so far, and
is equally hopeful for the future. Not
withstanding the estimated shortage
in the cotton crop, our business men
consider the town in a healthier, more
solid condition than has ever existed
before.
Mrs. S. M. Hill and Mrs. Scarboro
and children, who have been spending
the summer here, returned to their
home in Montezuma a few days ago.
Mr. J. T. Stilwell and family have
moved back to Montezuma.
Mr. Chas. R. Watts, who has been
spending a few days with friends here,
returned to Atlanta to-day. We are
pleased to know that he and his good
lady will come to Senoia soon and re
main some time.
Messrs. Graham & Addy have re
turned from Atlanta, where they went
to purchase a large stock of goods.
Mr. F. P. Lindsey is on a visit to the
Gate Citv.
The death of little Paul Culpepper
last week was a very event and
cast a gloom over the entire communi
ty. VI NO ENT.

Grantville.
Mr. Editor:—Grantville is extremely
dry and the merchants would not ob
ject to a rain—sufficient, at least, to
keep down the dust. Mr. W. M. Hop-
son improvised a street sprinkler
a few days ago which ought to be
adopted into general use. It may be
propelled bv hand or horse power.
Rev. J. B. S. Davis, of Newnan,
preached at the Baptist church last
Sabbath.
Miss Nancy Skipper, a lady of eighty
summers, was buried here last Monday.
Dr. M. II. White officiated at the fu
neral.
A trio of Texans, with a lot Texas
ponies, have afforded our citizens a
good deal of amusement this week. It
is surprising how easily they can lasso
and manage the wildest of their horses.
They managed to dispose of about fif
teen ponies here. A life insurance
agent ought to do a paying business
here for several days. I\ e nave com
petent surgeons on the field and a den
tist near by.
Cotton is coming in rapidly, the
price to-day (Tuesday) is 8 ll-16e. Price
of seed, 174c.
Thanks for the compliment editorial-
lv bestowed last week. Such an evi
dence of appreciation by “ye editor”
somewhat remunerates me for the la
bor and time devoted to this corres
pondence.
The wreck of a freight train last
week, four miles above town, was a bad
one. It was caused by a car jumping
the track. Several cars were broken in
to kindling wood, and many articles
of merchandise were scattered in all
directions. Several cars were some
distance from the track when they
stopped. One of the train-men was on
top of one of the wrecked cars and it is
a mystery how he escaped, having
jumped almost into the midst of the
tailing can and pieces of timber. The
damage is considerable, but I have
heartfno estimate from those in a
sitionto know. Sever*! thodsalid
lars, I presume. While the trams were
delayed by the wreck our side and
main tracks were filled with trains,
moving back and forth, and reminded
me of Whitehall street crossing in At
lanta.
Mr. P. O. Collinsworth was out squir
rel-hunting one evening last week and
ran upon a large rattlesnake, three
feet long, that had five rattles and a
button. Mr. C. says he is done squir
rel-hunting until after the frosts drive
snakes of every species to their winter
abodes. He could not walk steadily af
ter he saw the snake, consequently he
killed no squirrels. He was not scared,
yet involuntarily hail to shake.
I regret to hear of the illness of Mrs.
W. IV. Wisdom, of Corinth. It is fear
ed that she has typhoid fever. Mrs.
W. A. Post, her sister, went over to see
Mrs. W. last Tuesday.
Mr. Ferguson, son-in-law of Mr. John
Cross, died at the home of the latter
last Monday night. The remains were
taken to Cincinnati for interment.
Mr. F. was a citizen of Kentucky, do
ing business in Cincinnati, until that
dread disease of which he died, con
sumption, forced him to abandon all
work.
Misses Ada and Lillie Shores left for
Atlanta on last Tuesday, where they
have gone to enter a convent.
Dr. H. S. Bradley spent several days
at Rocky Mount this week, and was
engaged in a series of meetings.
Miss Sallie Cotter will open her school
in one of Garrett & Zellars’ new build
ings next Monday morning. Miss Sal-
lie is an able and experienced teacher,
and will doubtless have a good school.
Several thousand dollars have been
paid out for cotton seed this season at
this place.
Mr. R. C. Russell, of Hogansville,
was in town a day or two since. Bob
is a clever fellow and we are always
glad to see him. Arden.

Turin.
Mr. Editor:—Our community was
deeply pained and shocked at the an
nouncement of the death of Rev. F. M.
T. Brannon, as reported in your last
issue. For one year deceased had
charge of this circuit, and never did
minister endear himself to a people
more completely than did Bro. Bran
non to the people of this section.
Therefore, the shock was more painful
than it might otherwise have been; and
the writer but echoes the sentiments of
the community when he exclaims:
“We are indeed sad.” For more than
a quarter of a century deceased and
the writer were warm personal friends,
and his death thrills our heart with a
grief too deep for utterance. VVe ten
der to the stricken family our heartfelt
sympathy in this hour ot their bereave
ment.
Turin has a fine school and one of the
best teachers in the country. As an
evidence of his popularity several pu
pils from a distance have already en
tered school and are pursuing their
studies under his tutorsnip.
Soon the ginning facilities will be so
increased at this place that farmers
will find it greatly to their interest to
bring their cotton to Turin and have it
ginned by the company now engaged in
that industry.
Master Bole Ingram is quite sick with
fever.
The last two weeks has developed a
shortage in the cotton crop; and if far
mers were only able to hold their pro
duct they might realize something like
a fair price for it. . But, unfortunately,
pressing obligations must be met and
they will be forced to let it slide.
Rev. L. P. Hudson, who has been
conducting a successful revival at Line
Creek church, baptized twenty-five
converts last Sunday.
Hon. Wni. Whatley had the pleasure
on Sabbath morning last of marrying
Mr. Robert Moore and Miss P. M.
Jackson—all of Starr’s mill.
Col. W. W. Hardy, of Senoia, is re
ported to be in poor health.
Mr. T. E. Shell is quite sick, but we
hope soon to note his recovery.
The Turin merchants have opened
out a fine lot of fall and winter goods,
and they say “it is no use for people to
go elsewhere to buy goods at bottom
figures.” Capt. J. M. Briscoe, of Senoia,
will be in the cotton market at this
place throughout the season, and this is
a sufficient guarantee that Turin will
pay as much for cotton as any of the
surrounding towns—Newnan not ex
cepted.
A wandering evangelist named Hill*
all the way from New York, held a ten-
eent show here the other night.
Turnip patches are scarce in these
parts, owing to the protracted drought.
Miss Sare'na Dickson, of the Fourth
district, is on a visit to Mr. Edmund
Peek’s family.
A company has been organized at
Sharpsburg for the purpose of ginning
cotton. It seems that everything will
soon be merged into combinations.
Chills and fever is the prevailing
complaint in this section.

lathi:.
Having just returned from Brooks
Station, I will give you a few dots from
that community.
On Saturday night last the stores of
Messrs. Bishop & Prichard were bro
ken into and several hundred dollars’
worth of merchandise stolen. The
thieves had the audacity to steal Mr.
Prichard’s new buggy, and a horse and
harness from another gentleman. They
did not proceed far, however, before
the stolen buggy broke down. They
then proceeded to Mr. Ingram’s, just
beyond the river, and stole another.
They were bold and expert, and suc
ceeded' in blowing open Bishop &
Prichard’s large iron safe; but, fortun
ately, the money (about *1,000) had
been removed when the store was clos
ed for the night. This is the second
raid made upon these gentlemen since
spring. The rascals made their way to
Griffin, where it is believed they nave
their headquarters. With all respect
to this town, she has an attraction
(liquor) that is well calculated to draw
nut such a crowd about her, and so
long as this bane is dispensed in her
miast she and,;>he'adjacent country
may expect To remain a prey to the
depredations of the light-fingered gen
try. Moreover, it will be the rendez
vous of cut-throats, thieves, and every
class of criminals, who will make that
point the centre of their operations.
Mr. Cal Horton, who made a brave
soldier during the late war and who
was a good citizen, died of consump
tion at his home near Brooks Station a
few days ago. Peace to his ashes.
President Elder and his company are
planting a thirtv-horse power engine,
the whistle of which will soon be heard
for miles around, signaling a better day
for our already thriving village.
Capt. J. D. Hunter narrowly escaped
another destructive burning a few
nights ago from his engine.
Mr. Win. Camp is here and will buy
cotton again in tnis market. Says he
shall report no “points off,” but in
tends to make his competitors pay the
market price for all that they get.
The rate charged here for ginning is
only thirty cents per hundred, upon
improved gins, ana the market price
paid for seed.
Dr. Lester has moved into his new

A good start has been made upon the
“Tom Johnson” house and its early

Panther Creek.
Mr. Editor:—You told the truth, and
I caught you in it, when you said the
vicinity of Roscoe was the most popu
lous section of the county. Yes, and
we have the best class of citizens, the
prettiest ladies, the nicest young men,
the most sensible old men, and the
cleanest and smartest children. We
really need better mail facilities at
Roscoe. There are located in this com
munity, almost within hearing of each
other.'eight steam gins, four grist mills
and five saw-mills. We have also six
physicians, four stores within a radius
of four miles, six churches, one or
dained minister, fifteen licentiates, five
schools and four hundred children. The
average agricultural product is from
one thousand to fifteen hundred
bales of cotton, ten thousand bushels
of corn, atd other crops too tedious to
name.
A great many of our best citizens do
not take The' HeraiSd and Adver
tiser because the mail facilities are so
poor. I could enumerate many other
reasons why our mail facilities should
be increased.
The reunion of the Richards family
will be held at County-Line Church,
two miles from Hutcheson’s ferry, on
the fourth Friday in the present
month. Hon. Benj. Leigh has been in
vited to address the reunion on that oc
casion. A nice dinner will be spread in
the grove. On the same day there will
be a reunion of the Wilkinson family
at the residence of Hon. VV'. R. Wilkin
son, near Palmetto. I am in a tight. I
have invitations to attend both reun
ions, and don’t see liow I can conven
iently do so. It would be equally im
practicable, if not unsatisfactory, to
send a representative—because there
is no assurance that a proxy would do
justice to the occasion.
Rev. E. B. Barrett was again called
to the pastorate of Macedonia Baptist
church last Saturday. Bro. Barrett
has preached to the brethren at Mac
edonia for seven years and this is the
eighth call he has received. He has
accomplished an incalculable amount
of good during the period mentioned.
He deferred giving a final answer un
til the next regular conference.
Grandma Jones, mother of Major T.

mav locate. As an evidence of his pop-
I ularity in this neighborhood, five of
' our young men are now boarding at Tu
rin and attending his school, to-wit:
Seaborn Phillips, Lee Fanner and Jo
seph Laird of Campbell county, and
