Millkdgrvillk, Ga., Aug. 27th, 1880J
Having resumed business one door
west of my old stand, on Hancock
street, I respectfully solicit patronage
from cash buyers.
1 am unprepared in every sense of
the word to credit, and consequently,
have arranged to do a strici ly spot
cash business, and respectfully ask,
that all orders to mo, be uccompany-
ed with the cush.
I have fitted up my store in neat
style and am receiving Fresh Grocer
ies, .ufectioneries, &c., daily.
Having arranged to do a strictly
cush business, 1 can afford to work
for short profits, and hope thereby
e to tlie interest of those who
will favor me with their trade.
Very Respectfully,
W. H. Robkrts.

Tlie City editor was asked to join a

to hold a meeting, it all the truthful
liars were present.

The Dummy had a busy time last
week. But it is not a drop in the
bucket to tlie business it will encoun
ter in the next two or three weeks.
When tlie Dry Goods men, and the
Grocery men, begin to get iu their
Fall and Winter supplies, and cotton
comes in for shipment to seaports,
the Dummy will have as much, and
more, to do than it can- handle.
There are some very active aud ex
perienced hands in the management
we know, blit a few workers however
willing and competent cannot do more
than their best. President Lutnpkin
will no doubt see to it that there
shall be no complaint against the
line for this or any other reason.
We have heard several of our old
citizens express the opinion that the
city has no right to appoint a public
weigher of tlie planter’s cotton any
more than they iiave to appoint a
rnau to weigh a planteis corn, meat,
meal, or any of his produce which he
may wish to seal. Our opinion was
asked. Well, it does look that way
according to their line of argu
ment. We confess that we are not
read up in the law well enough to ex
press au opinion as to the legality of
me matter pro and con; but as it is
me common practice in all large
oemthern cities we should conclude
mat it is not an arbitrary exercise of
Power by a City government to ap
point a public weigher of cotton.

The Milledgeville Board of Trade
has recently issued, and will circu
late, a paper of current interest to
people in counties adjoining Baldwin
who may be induced by the num
erous advantages offered to do their
trading hereafter In this city.
Among the chief matters of interest
cited in the Trade Circular, are Free
Ferriage over Little river at Hum
ber’s Mill, and by the new Iron bridge
over tlie Oconee at this city. The
Wholesale und Retail business of our
merchants is prominently alluded to,
tlie appointment of a public weigher,
the Banking facilities of tlie city,
three Building and Loan Associations
facilitating the erection of homes, on
easy and accomodating terms, four
corn mills in successful operation, ar
rangements to be perfected by which
the Roads and Bridges of the county
shall be kept in first class condition,
the splendid work already accom
plished by the Dummy Line, 5 miles
in length, running from the two R. R.
Depots through the heart of the city,
by the doors of the business houses of
the main streets, and out to the Lu-
natio Asylum; one of the best and
most extensive Brick Works in Geor
gia, the Oconee; an Ice Factory that
supplies home, and, to a considerable
extent, foreign consumption—Soda
Water Bottling Works, two Cotton
Oil and Fertilizer Mills, ample Ware
house accommodations, two railroads,
branches of the great Central and
Georgia Railroads, passing through
the city, these are some of the advan
tages and enterprises that the Mill
edgeville Board of Trade point to
in their Circular with'commendable
pride and worthy enthusiasm.
Here, people ofMones, Baldwin, Put
naiu, Hancock, Wilkinson and Wash
ington are solid, talking facts for you
to consider.
We add to tlie above attractions
our fine cotton market, and notably
popular and thoroughly equipped col
lege.

Cotton picking siiouid not be al
lowed to interfere with the saving of
the crop of peas and pea hay. Tlie
best plan is to have both saved on
shares and then buy tlie sharers’ part
To make a nice quality of pea hay,
begin cutting after the dew has been
dispelled and shock as soon us the
vines have become wfilted. Let the
shocks “heat” for 24 or 36 hours, then
invert and put three shocks in one
and leave for a day or two. Then
pull down and let tlie sun and air dry
out the moisture and then house,
Tlie hay will not heat again and
wortli considerably more as feed. All
leguminous plants—especially, such
as clover, lucerne, vetches and peas
require this mode of curing to make
a first-quality-hay that will keep

Where the vines are rank, too close
cutting should be avoided, leaving the
woody part of the haum for the ben-
fit of tlie laud as it is hard to cure and
makes inferior forage anyway.

for sale. I told him it being the first
bale of the season, that I would give

at anything over 11 cents. I thought
no more about it for about thirty
minutes when just as I was riding
away from tlie Warehouse, Sandy re
turned with a copy of the Milledge
ville Chronicle, containing a para
graph which stated that we would
pay 12 cents for the first bale of cot
ton brought to our Warehouse. This
suppose from tlie wording of the
piece, was authorized by Mr. L. H.
Andrews, and to whom I attach no
blame, only that lie should have in

have acted accordingly. But it was

before I was t informed of the article
in the paper Which seemed to me a
kind of a nolens volens case, border

right before tlie community. And
now I will say to my farmer friends
that Mr. Geo. O. Smith and other for

THANKSGIVING.
National Thanksgivings as we have
had them in this country, are entitl
ed to Rttle respect. At tho North
they are principally observed by
gatherings of families widely scatter
ed, and a big dinner with tho tradi
tional pumpkin pie, doughnuts,
sweet cider and “tales of my Grand
father,” in the rural districts. In the
cities the occasion is solemnized by
big drunks, and excursions to Coney
Island or some contiguous place of
frolic and dissipation. The churches
open, but tho congregation is not so
numerous as on the Summer Sundays.
At the South, tho day is a holiday.
The clerks get away from the monot
onous counter duties—make excur
sions to tho country, or loaf around
in a sort of unhappy existence, not
knowing what to do. Tho churches,
to get a passable congregation, con
centrate at one house of worship, but
even there the assembled few can al
most be counted on the lingers of
your two hands.
Rather let onr thanksgiving, be
with Isreal’s sweet songster—
“I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my
mouth.”
