After losing a little daughter and a sister last week, of fever, an other member of his family is very low with the same disease. A bird dog, belonging to Mr. Monroe Lewis of your town, was declared “mad,” and killed by Mr. Young and others a few days ago, after having bitten several dogs. Zubitus. Oct. 5th. notwithstanding the fact that we had u. Gilbert and family in their sad af- almost been holding our breath in fear of the result, yet when the newsreach- ed us last Wednesday that he was dy ing it cast a gloom over the entire community. His death occurred at 0 o’clock on the 2Sth ult., his age at the time ol this mournful event being 28 years and 28 days. He was a young man of commanding appearance, intel ligent, sober, industrious and honest, possessing the qualities of a first-class cititen; therefore, when he resided in out midst, we were proud of him. His faf/lier having died when he was small, and his older brother having gone West before he was grown, the res ponsibility of taking care of his moth er devolved upon him, which duty he performed with faithfulness and affee- T ion. We are not surprised that a mother should be heartbroken at the Boss of such a child. As soon as ar- rrangements could be made, his mother and younger brother, Jimmie, started home with his remains, arriving in Newnan at 3 p. last Tuesday. From there they were conveyed to Lis mother’s home in this district, where t hey were met by relatives and friends and taken care of until the funeral hour arrived. At 10 o’clock Friday morning a large congregation assem bled at Elim church to pay the last i ribute of respect to one who had been such a welcome guest at our homes, at our social gatherings, and at our Sab- bath-school, where for yeaTs lie took an active part. The funeral was -:o:- THE GRANDEST DISPLAY -OF- ] n eaclied by Rev. F. J. Amis, from the (ext—“The wages of sin is death, but t he gift of God is eternal .life through our Lord Jesus Christ. The services were opened by singing— '•I am waiting for tlie morning Of the blessed day to dawn. "When the sorrow and the sadness Of tills fearful life anemone. “Waiting, hopinsr, trusting ever For a home of boundless love. Like a pilgrim looking forward To tlie land of bliss above,” etc. A few weeks before Ms* death lie told his brother that he never knew a song lliat afforded him so much pleasure as this, which is a source of consolation to liis many friends; for we do not be lieve a sincere sinner, feeling his con demnation, could adopt the sentiment of the poet nor find comfort in its rec- itatioi). Eddie had never attached himself to the church, though he had often asked God’s pecqile to pray for him; and. during our annual meeting this year, lie wrote to ids mother to re quest Bro. Amis to pray for him. The message was delivered and God’s mer cy implored. He told Lis mother while sick that he felt prepared to die; there- Sharpsburg. Mr.. Editor:—Our farmers are all ; very busy gathering the lleecy staple this delightful weather. Rev. Y. A. Ham filled his appoint ment at Rocky Mount last Saturday and Sunday. Tlie church at that place has called him for the ensuing year. Mr. I. N. Farmer, our clever Tax Collector, lias started on his first round. Mr. W. J. Stevenson had one of his fingers badly mangled while running an engine last week. Mr. W. W. Norris, of Midway, paid us a visit last Sunday. The public debate was largely at tended last Saturday lfight. After prayer by Mr. W. J. Stevenson, the club selected Messrs. Tom Bohannon, J. W. Wood and Henry North to pre side. Tlie question for debate was— “Is war, in any base, justifiable?” Messrs. Robt. Smith, M. II. Norris, W. J. Stevenson and J. D. Norris repre sented the affirmative side of the ques tion, and Mess. J. R. Bohannon, Albert Thurman and R. A. Farmer represent ed tlie negative. The question was ex haustively discussed by both sides, though a decision was finally rendered in favor of the affirmative. After tlie debate the Sharpsburg brass band fa vored the audience with some excel lent music, which was much enjoyed. The recent improvements in The Herald and Advertiser are noted and appreciated by vour many readers here. . B. C. Oct. 4th. In Brief, ami t.o the Point. Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to good nature. Tlie human digestive apparatus is one of the most complicated and wonderful things in existence. It is easily put out of order. Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular habits, and many other tilings which ought not to be, have made the American people a nation of dyspeptics. But Green's August Flower has done a wonderful work in reforming this sad business and making the American peo ple so healthy that they can enjoy their meals and be happy. Remember:—No happiness without Green’s August Flower DRY GOODS, NOTIONS, CLOTHING, BOOTS, SHOES, HATS, TRUNKS, CARPETS, ETC., And everything included in that line of business, ever presented to the public. The largest shipments of New Goods from the best markets in the country, which, for stvle and selection, have no superior. _ J For fullv thirty days J. B. MOUNT ransacked the Northern and Eastern Markets iii the selection of this stock, and never before has he met with such marvelous success. This trip North will long be held in memory by the people of Goweta and adjacent counties; for he hasthereby secured for them bargains in every department—truly bargains—that will open the eyes of the trading publit.^cribe t]ie m anv novelties, the endless variety, the immensity of his stock, and the many BARGAINS he is offering, would only result in a faint- ef fort. Nothing short of a thorough examination of Ins MOCK AND lRICES can give a proper knowledge of J. B. MOUNT’S BUSINESS! for which purpose lie takes pleasure in extending a hearty invitation to one and all. I AM VERY BUSY! But will stop long enough to give a few pointers on DRY GOODS, SHOES i AND CLOTHING—not many—just enough to worry the boys and set the pub lic to thinking. Some of my remarks may fall with a dull, sickening thud upon the ear of my competitors; but I have abandoned all hope of getting rich in one brief season, and am determined to put my goods down and be content hereafter with a reasonable profit instead of trying to “make it all between September and May. I therefore respectfully submit the following for the consideration of the public, which I trust will be accepted as evidence of the reforms 1 have resolved upon: CLOTHING I In this department I have an elegant line of Light-Weight Overcoats, Hing ing in price from $12 to $15. Splendid Heavy Overcoats, from £4 to $18.. Good serviceable Suits, late style, *5 to $10. . Excellent all-wool Cassimere, Scotch and Worsted Suits, both business and dress, $10 to $20.

This establishment manufactures only the finer grades of Children's and Ladies’ Shoes, and I keep all the different stvles and grades.
