‘nope to see them in every dry goods

chants try the experiment ?—Walton

Bob Ford, the slayer of Jesse
James is just a little troubled at the
acquittal of Frank James. He says
he would tee! safer if Frank wbb
locked up. He does not intend to
provoke any quarrel, and will try to
keep out of James’ way, but if attacked
will trv and defend himself. In clos
ing an in'erview at Indianapolis he
said: ‘‘I know very well if anyone
had killed my brother as I killed
Jesse James I should not rest until I
had taken his life.'
The capitol bill has passed both
houses, aud is now a certainty. The
highest compliment we have ever heard
paid Gov. McDaniel came from a member
of the Legislature who said: “This
building will have to be built sooner or
later, and I would rather have it built
while McDaniel is Governor, because I
know he will have it done well and will
not allow any stealing. For these
reasons I voted for the bill.
The following able and experienced
men have been appoin'ed commissioners
to supertntend the construction of the
new capitol: A. L. Mi ler, of Houston,
John Screven, of Savannah, Gen.
E. P. Alexander, of Angusta, William
W. Thomas, of Athens Benj. E. Crane,
of Atlanta. Out of the entire State the
Governor could not have selected five
better men for the position The tax
payers of Georgia may rest assured that
their money will be well spent by these
men.

accommodate our customers for the past
nine months. We saw sixty days ago

and continued to let our customers have
goods on time. We have never turn¬
