We are not timid
when we speak of our
line of F u r n i t ur e.
Like our Clothing
and Gents Furnishing
Goods we unhesitat
ingly pronounce it the
strongest line in this
part of the country.
Our recollection is not
sufficient to call up a
single instance that
when prospetivc buy
ers have posted them
selves as to quality,
dimensions and price
that we did not sell
the bill. We do not
go up to come down
but are already down
on the price.
Don’t forget our
Sewing Machine offer
easy terms at cash
prices. W e have j ust
received a new drop
head worth 835.00 for
$21.00. All we ask
is to show our goods.

vere attack of fever.
Markets On a Strike.
The beef market men elo*ed
their doors Wednesday and refus
ed to further measure out the jui
cy meats to Moultrie boarding
houses. It was the result of the
failure on the part of the city
council to suppress ' ‘Nancy
Hanks” alias Aleck Patterson's
beef peddling outfit. Judgo Han
sell, as has been before stated in
these columns, declared the law
creating the city maeket not volid
and as Mr, Patterson has a disa
bled soldier’s license to peddle,
there w’as found no further means
of protecting the market men.
This leaves Moultrie in a pretty
bad predicament, forgetting meats.
Her only resource, is this little
one-horse wagon, who's uncertain
coming must be awaited before
the morning's steak can be ob
tained. As it i* impoasible for
the one wagon to make the rounds
in a day, our boarding houses will
probably eatcow by turn in future.
A Growing Town and Prosperous
County—A Pew Lines About
Moultrie and the Coaaty
of Colguit.
The writer renewed old a#-
! quaintances in Moultrie this week.
These semi-annual visits to our
town are flvvays
i pleasant. We have watched, and
with pleasure, too, the rapid
growth and development of the
town. It has been little less than
! phenomenal. There are no indi
cations of a let up in the growth
of Moultrie. The town and its
progressive, plucky, pushing
citizens, all appear to be in favor
of “expansion.” And they are
expanding without a doubt.
While the business portion of the
town is being built up with sub
stantial, modern brick stores, the
resident pirtion shows equal
progress. In every direction new
houses, and pretty ones, too, are
going up. The latest improve
ment is a splendid two-story brick
store being erected diagonally
across from the bank of Moultrie
building, by Mr. Miles Monk,
one of the solid, substantial
farmers of the comity. And just
here we may add that Mr. Monk
has mefle his money farming and
raising stock. As an evidence of
how property is advancing, we
may state that some two years
ago Mr. Joseph Dyke, a Thomas
county mail who has east his for
tune with the growing town,
bought a one hundred feet front
lot, paying SI,OOO for it. He has
sold a 25 feet front to Mr. Monk,
upon which the later gentleman
is erecting his new building, for
81,000, ami has 75 feet left. By
way of passing «s may state the
finishing brick for Mr. Monk’s
store is being furnished by Aider
man Miller from his plant out on
the river. And this reminds us
that the first brick ever seen in
Moultrie was bought from Mr,
Willis Parnell in Thomasville
(that was many years ago) by Mr.
Robert Bearden and hauled up
there by wagon, to put pillars
under the only store in the place
at that time. The change since
those days is most striking. In
stead of a sleepy little village, the
place has grown into a young city,
whose arteries of trade and
commerce are fairly pulsating and
throbbing with prosperity. The
town has joined the great proces
sion of Prosperity, prosperity with
a big P. and she is not far from
the front, either. With “Excel,
sior” inscribed on her banner, she
is still forging ahead. There is
talk of a tourist hotel being erected
With the coining of the Tifton
Thomasville and Gulf road, and
it will soon reich the town,
Mouitrie would be on a ma>n line
of travel, and would naturally,
attract northern visitors, With
her pure air. fine artesian water
and healthful location, there is
no reason why she should not
have hundieds of northern visit
ors during the winter. Speaking
of hotel reminds us that the" Cen
tral” has been enlarged, aud now,
under the admirable management
of “mine host” Fish, offers
splendid accomodations to the
traveling public.
We doubt very much if there
is a town or county in the state
which has made such rapid strides
during the past few years as
Moultrie and Colquit county.
And the end is not yet.
There’s nothing the matter
with Moultrie. She’s all right.—
Thomasville Times.
Court Grants a New Trial.
Judge Sheffield has granted a
new trial in the case of D. A.
Autrey vs the Ga. Northern
railroad suit for damage to a car
of corn. At the summer adjoin
ed term of court, the case was
decided in fayor of the defen
dent but the verdict has been
set aside, through the efforts of
plaintiff’s attorneys, Pearsall and
Shipp, and the case will eome
up for trial again at the next
term of court.
Sparks New Charter.
A notice is being published
that application will be made be
fore the next Georgia General
Assembly for a new charter of
the town of Sparks, and we are
reliably iuformed that the pur
pose of said charter will be to
extend the town limits, and to
be able to raise money, by itsue
ing bonds or public taxation, for
building a modern school house
to cost about fivg thousand dol
lar*.;

Moultrie as a “Bone of Contention.
The Tifton and Thomasville
railroad seems to be experienc
ing considerable difficulty in
locating a line through Moultrie.
The matter has been under
consideration for a month now,
without and we are sorry to say
there are no signs of an early
settlement of the question.
Misses Heath Hightower, and
Ousley, came over this week to
look for themselves, and brought
with them chief engineer Harris,
of Atlanta, They left Wednes
day without rendering a dicision.
They have already begun work
below Moultrie and we under
stand will soon start a gang of
hands at Thomarville to come
this way. For the present the
gap in the middle, including
Moultrie will be ft ft alone. It
may be the last work done.
We suggest to property own
ers that they do not stand in the
way of these people, whose com
ing into Moultrie will undoubt
edly bo a great advantage to the
town. They should be given
material encouragement to build
as near the businoss center of
town as they will, Moultrie
should show her appreciation of
town as they will Moultrie shoud
show her appreciation of their
coming by being liberal with
them.

The Cottan Outlook.
Cotton was the last thing on the
list to advance. It seemed
for a long tune that general pros
perity had overlooked just one
class of people—-the southern cot
ton grower, but the cotton bears
have nt last been routed and now
this staple is going upward.
The cotton crop ts short. It will
barely rise above tan million
bales The demand for cotton
goods is strong and they are sel
ling at an advanced price. The
European mills have at last lost
fftitrh in the ability of Seillandhis
crowd to furthur depress the mar
ket and hence have begun to buy
their supplies. These things have
ft strong tendency to bull the
market. The price went up a
quarter of a cent Monday, audit
ha* be«u prophesied by those in
position to know pretty well that
the price will go up to seven cents
before Christmas. One thing
stands iu the way. It may be
feared that there will be such a
rush of cotton upon the market,
within the next few days as to
cause a temporary re-action. If
farmers could do so, it certainly
seems to be advisable at this time
to hold cotton awhile. It will do
the farmers no good if the price
goes up after he has *old, and
They are the one 3 that need the
increase. In the face ot a very
short crop they are especially
needful of a fair price for the
product of their labor. Sea
Island is selling at a living price
and we hear but little complaint
from the growers of this staple
\ve have in Moultrie 100
buggies all styles of springs
