Jules Verne says Charles
Dickens was England’s greatest
novelest.
Julius L. Brown wants 135,000

ship.

killed him.
The Covington Star is a hand¬

In fact, Covington has two line

The negroes who went to
Mexico can come back on foot,
if they so desire, but those who
went to Africa can’t so easily

on Panama and a battle was
fought at Bocasdel Taro. Garza,
the rebel commander, was kill¬

was killed by the rebels.
Dr. Parkhust will be tried be¬
fore a Presbytery of his church.
The trial was brought by prefer¬
ring charges against the said Dr.
Parkhust, who had been guilty
of offensive treatment to his
brethren in the ministry.
The murder of the drummer,
Mr. Hyatt, at Fort Gaiues, by
sheriff McAlister, is creating
a very great stir in every sec¬
tion where the young man was
known. It was an outrageous
crime, if all the facts stated are
true. The drummers of Georgia
are properly taking steps to
have McAlister prosecuted.
Col. E. C. Machen, the great,
developer, went through Geor¬
gia a few years ago with a me¬
teoric swish and whose exploits
still linger in the memory of the
citizens of Macon, has turned up
again. A Richmond dispatch
announces his arrival to that
city as president of the Old Do¬
minion Construction Company,
to pay the charter fee of the
Chesapeake, Shenduu and West
ora railroad. Colonel Machen
informed liis Richmond hearers
that his company would proba¬
bly dump about $5,000,000 in
improvements in Virginia. We
have no doubt the Colonel will
do the dumping if his company
has the wherewitbs.—Enquirer
Suu.
The Tradesman states that
the cotton used in Southern
mills last year would have cost
nearly $2,500,000 more if these
mills had been located in the
North, aud that the cotton con
Burned in the Northern mills
cost $5,500,000 more than it
would in the South.—Ex.
Granting that the above fig¬
ures are correct , it is reasonable
to think that the South may
yet be the great cotton manu¬
facturing section of tho United
States. Wherever the most
money can be realized there is
where the machinery will be
placed. Water power in the
South is abundant and the cot
ton is at hand. All that is
wanted is the machinery with
r which to run the mills* It

too late to have the spindles

ODD FELLOWS.
Many years ago there lived in
an interior town of Pa. three
shoe-makers, who made their
daily bread at the last. One be¬
came sick, and was not able to
make the wherewithal to feed
and clothe his family. The other
two came to his relief and fed
his family, and administered to
the wants of the sick man. He
recovered, then the second was
likewise laid on a bed of afflic¬
tion—so on till the third had
his turn of suffering. These
three linked together, and be¬
ing an odd number, formed the
order now called 1 ‘ Odd Fellows.”
The special feature of this so¬
ciety is relief for their brethren,
and the insignia of the order is
a chain of odd links, a remind¬
er of the fidelity to each other
of these three noble men, who
sacrificed for their brethren.
The Independent Order of Odd
Fellows commends itself in
charities to the world.
A GREAT SALE.
Pianos and Organs to Be Sold at
Anything They Will Bring.
The Freyer & Bradley Music
Co., of Atlanta, has just pur¬
chased the entire business of
the. Miles & Stiff Company, and
are preparing the greatest clos¬
ing out salo of the 40 pianos
and 60 organs in the stock ever
attempted in this country. The
question of cost does not enter
into consideration in the dispos¬
al of the instruments. Mr. W.
W. Crocker, the manager of the
Freyer & Bradley Music Co.,
made the Miles & Stiff Co. a
lump offer for their entire busi¬
ness, it was accepted, aud now
the goods must be sold at what
they will bring.
The sale will begin Monday,
March 18, and one can make
their own prices and they -frill
be considered. The Freyer &
Bradley Music Co. will fully
guarantee all the instruments
sold to be just as represented,
and the sale is not like that of a
firm going out of business, for
the Freyer tfc Bradley Music Co,
remains to protect the purchaser
This is a great opportunity
for those who have in contem¬
plation the purchase of a piano
or organ any time within a year
or two, and it will pay to make
the trip to Atlanta for this pur¬
pose. Never again will the op¬
portunity be given of buying a
new piano or organ for less than
it cost for the material. The
sale takes place in the old ware
rooms of the Miles & Stiff Co.,
in the Grand. In the stock was
over thirty thousand pieces of
sheet music, aud this the Frey¬
er & Bradley Music Co. is giv¬
ing away to the ladies.
Address all correspondence to
63 Peachtree street, Atlanta.
IMPORTANT.
The Supreme Court of Geor¬
gia has decided that every busi¬
ness man who runs a dray in
connection with liis business
must pay a license on every ve¬
hicle he runs. It is very impor¬
tant that business men should
know this, that they may al
j way proceed advisedly,
