We found them hero and found them there, In every garb and dress; Fools there were everywhere, But never fools the less. They met by thousands on the ground To see Atlanta’s show; So many fools were never found Assembled here below. The railroads and the city gave inducements for the fools— The old, the young, the gay, the grave— They used them all as tools. The Exposition’s over now.

Andrews was so unfor tunate as to lose twenty-five dollars in cash and a two hundred dollar check at the hands of a pickpocket at the Expo sition. —Fairburn News. Rev. McN.

The Griffin News of Tuesday con tains two of our choice items, which it appropriates without saying so much as “by your leave.” In the same is sue is a humorous item about “a gen tleman who attended the Piedmont Exposition and left his reluctant wife raising, at home,” etc. We enjoyed a squib in last week’s Albany News and Adver tiser that was suspiciously similar in its main details, though it may have been a coincidence, merely. A flutter of excitement was created in town yesterday by the marriage of Mr. J. B. Chapman to Miss Sallie Fan nie Lucy, which took place about 4 p. m., at the Millians House. It is understood to have been a Gretna Green affair, and although the parties are well known in Newnan the event s wholly unexpected, the an nouncement of which created no little surprise even to their nearest friends.

Bradley is selling out his stock of fall and winter clothing, shoes, hats, etc., at prices that will astonish you Time flies, and he is determined not to be caught next spring with any of the? goods on hand. A word to the wise is sufficient. We understand that Major U. B Wilkinson has had an offer of $25,000 for his paper mill at Banning; but as the property is now* paying about 20 per cent, on this amount it is safe to presume that the offer will be prompt ly declined. The Crescent City Opera and Comedy Company will play “Mikado” next Monday night. Their adaptation of this charming burlesque is said to be exceptionally fine, and those who have never witnessed it should not miss this opportunity. , Rev. E.

Thompson Bros, have the largest and most elegant assortment of furniture this season that they have ever carried. Some of their parlor, chamber and dining-room suites are exceptionally handsome, and in point of style, finish and general elegance will compare with anything sold in Atlanta, while their prices are conceded to be fully 15 per cent, lower on everything offered. If you contemplate making any pur chases in this line it will pay you to see their stock and examine their cata logues before placing your orders. They will not only please, but astonish you. We are requested to announce that the Ladies’ Church and Aid Society of Puckett Station will give a variety sup per at the school-house next Thursday evening, (3d prox.) for the benefit of the new church. A few weeks ago they advertised an ice cream supper, but the weather was so very inclement only a few attended. They propose now to try it over, and those who were fortunate as to be present on the occa sion referred to will need no urging to enlist their interest in next Thursday night’s entertainment. Let all attend who can and assist these noble ladies There was no finer display at the late Exposition than that made in the live sf o jk and cattle department, and it is conceded to have been one of the best ever seen in the South. One of the finest exhibits there was a magnifi cent herd of Devons, which was greatly admired by visitors to that de partment, and which the owners had no difficulty is disposing of on the grounds. Perhaps the largest and most attractive of these belonged to Edward D. Hicks, the well-known breeder of Devon cattle near Nashville, Tenn., and also President of the American Cattle Club. The next largest herd was owned by M. B. Rowe, of Freder icksburg, Ya.- They attracted the at tention of our fellow-townsmen, Judge Bigby and Mr. Chas. C. Parrott, both of whom are interested in stock- and they succeeded in mak ing several very desirable purchases— really getting the pick of the flock. Judge Bigby bought six heifers and two bulls, and Mr. Parrott five heifers and one bull. Those purchased by Judge Bigby arrive last Saturday and attracted much notice and admiration as they were being driven through the streets. Those bought by Mr. Parrott were shipped to Bartow county, where they are now quartered on his stock farm near Cartersville. The Devons are said to possess all the butter-mak ing qualities of the Jerseys, and while not so large as the Durham and Hols tein breeds, are more hardy and make finer beef. Notice.

It gives me pain to be for jed to call attention to this matter, but I need the money. I- P- Bradley A. Card of Thanks. • Recently a committee was appointed by the Fanners’ Alliance of Coweta county to investigate and ascertain what concessions, if any, would be made by ouarmerchants to the members of that order in the-purchase of goods, from time to time, as they might re quire, and to* asffi for bids from the dif ferent houses upon terms proposed by the committee. It was understood that several of our merchants were competing for the Alliance trade, and actuated by a spirit of enterprise, I sent in my bid along , with others. When the “committee reported last Wednesday I was gratified to learn the family of Mr. I. P. week., . Bradley this Ellington & Bro., of Palmetto, offer for sale one hundred and thirty acres of valuable land near that place. See notice.-. in their praiseworthy undertaking Mechanics’ Brass Band distinguish ed themselves in Atlanta last week, though the local papers gave them no credit for the plaudits that tlieir ex cellent playing evoked. The band had a prominent position in front of the Court-house as the Presidential proces sion passed, and just as the cairiage containing the President came in sight they struck up “Dixie.” - The cheers that greeted them as the swelling notes of the sweet-toned instruments were recognized above the din and. rush of the hurrying, excited throng eclipsed for the time the enthusiasm occasion ed by the President’s presence, who graciously lifted his hat in knovrle dgment of the compliment. In describing this episade the Atlanta papers gave credit to the Capital City Band. The annual meeting: of the stockhol ders of the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad will be held in Griffin on Thursday next. At the last regular meeting of the directors it was decided to limit the issuance of passes on stockholders’ - day hereafter to bona fide owners of stock aud their immedi ate families. Heretofore the mere pre sentation of stock certificates to. the conductor, whether by actual owners or not, entitled the holder to ride free on stockholders’ day; but under this ar- Louis Simril has secured a position with Harris & Son, the well-known tin manufacturers of LaGrange, and is t o- ing well. Mr. I. P. Bradley has purchased the Thomas place, at the southern extremi ty of Jackson street, and wiR take pos- j ^^ ent it ^ found that the crowds that annually thronged the trains were so large as to be frequently unmanage able and suggested the action referred to above. Hereafter, therefore, only actual stockholders and their immedi ate families will be passed free, to session m a few weeks. Mr. L. P. Thomas will occupy the residence va cated by Mr. Bradley, which he ac quires by the terms of the trade. We are glad to note that our friend, R. E.

It shall be my pleasure at all times to show due con sideration to the members of that or der in future transactions that I may have with than),, and I hold myself 111 readiness to comply with every condi tion imposed by our joint agreement. Recognizing the well-established Am erican policv that “competition is the life of trade,” - and realizing that the people have the undoubted right to demand a reduction from the high prices heretofore charged on staple ne cessities, I have yielded to the inevita ble and rather than be crowded to the wall have decide^ that the better plan would be to meet them half way. I am determined to*, sell my goods, and to do so 1 shall be forced to sell them cheap, from now on. I can better afford to sell them at a close profit than keep them on my shelves from season to season. In pursuance of tins policy, therefore, I was induced to bid for the Alliance trade, and for the same reason I have marked everything; down to the lowest possible margusal limit. This is no exaggeration. The best evidence of the sincereity ot my intentions is to call and see for your- sgIvgs. Again acknowedging thanks for the kindness and consideration shown, me in this friendly contest, I am very respectfully, J. B. Mount. WE CAN SELL. YOU A GOOD SUIT, THICK AND WELL-MADE, FOR $6 00.
