himself recently and at first disap
pointment in love was thought to
be the cause. Since then, however,
it has transpired, that three years
ago he had a quarrel with a Hun
garian army officer at home. Only
mortal combat or the death of one
of the parties could satisfy the
cade’s requirements. They agreed to
draw from a box two balls— a black
and a white—and the one drawing
the black ball was to kill himself
the third anniversary of the draw
ing, which was Septemberl2th last
Barothy drew the black ball. There
fore, in fulfillment of the agree
ment, he killed himself, leaving
letters behind to explain why he
did so, with instruction to inform
his antagonist in Hungary that he
had paid the penalty for drawing
the wrong ball.

Thos. Fahy, Rome, Ga.
the destroyer of profits.
We can’t all be giants in com
merce. There is only one Claflin.
The world can boast of but one
institution of traffic like that of the
Bon Marche, the pride of Paris.
Each succeeding age has seen th'’
fame of some metropolitan estab
lishment rise upon the commercial
horizon with startling and dizzy
rapidity and emblazon its name
athwart the sphere of business with
meteoric brilliancy—only to pass
away with equal swiftness. With
the death of the Prince Stewart
the marble palace he had erected
waned in power and importance
and lost prestige in Dry Goods
circles. Others have straddled the
wild whirlwinds of apparent success
and circling higher and higher bade
fair to out rival those before them.
But in every instance ambushe.l
adversaries in the shape of unsala
ble goods and unpaid bills did their
insidious work and steadily and
surely sunk into dust and oblivion
these vertitable coliseums of com-)
mere". Fahy is now master of j
Rome’s retail trade, with wonderful ;
and progressive commercial and
financial generalship he is swaying
the Dry Goods business. Equipped
with money, force, stocks, war
rooms and courage he is climbing
the bright meridian of a hard
earned success. Think, a singe
mistake, a slight false movement
would displace him and down, down
he would be hurled with a pitiless
crash. There would be some excite
ment, no little speculation, several
self satisfied repetitions of “I tol l
you so” a bold and prelusive dis
play of newspaper headlines i 1
chronicling the disaster. Then tlm
ripple would broaden out of sigi -
and leave the surface smooth—bu ;
Fahy’s fame would have vanished )
forever. The uncertainty of corn-}
mercial life is great, and but few t
who engage in it attain prominence.
It gives us unfeigned pleasure t >
announce that even in this, usually
the dullest season in the year, our
establishment is daily crowded wit h
interested purchasers, it is a fre-1
quent and common remark that
’ while we are busy other stores are
entirely deserted, or comparatively
so. Os course those who have been
in the habit of trading with us
know the reason for this. For the
information of strangers and non
customers we will say that EN
TERPRIZE, ATTENTION and
HONESTY are the three essential
qualities which so materially and
forcefully add to our wonderful
success and increasing popularity.
Such being the case, we shall
consider it our highest ambition to
retain the esteem and favors of
friends. Knowing full well that
they will continue to multiply
their patronage so long as we
present them with the choicest
bargains obtainable. This we nt
all times do, for with ample capital,
extensive experience, unblemished
credit, together with persevering,
skillful and intelligent direction, we
' are strengthened and aided in our
, work.
