The bond purchases by the Treas ury amounted to $20,000,000 last week. It seems reckless for the dem ocratic administration to be spend ing the peoples’ money so lavishly on the eve of the election. The statement that a young girl dropped dead in New York the other day from joy over her engage ment, which occurred two hours before, will not have the effect to deter other girls from taking a like risk. Gen. Joe Wheeler has joined the Catholic church. He was a pall bearer at Gen. Sheridan’s funeral, and the Catholic burial service so impressed him that he began to at tend that church. Recently’ he declared his adoption of its faith. Several acres of land on a fail* side in Laurens county, South Car olina, recently sank four feet From the edge of the creek flows a stream of water with a milky sediment and a sulphurous smell, which destroys all vegetation with in its reach.

Joseph Parker, eminent English divine who delivered the eulogy up on Beecher at Plymouth church and who was mentioned as a probable successor to the Plymouth pulpit, is reported to be insane. The Pennsylvania laws hold rail road officials criminally liable for death or injury caused by negli gence. The Penn Haven horror, in which 60 persons were killed and many’ others injured, will give the grand jury plenty’ to do. When the day’s volunteer dona tions collected in St. Ann’s Episco pal church, New York, last Sunday’ were counted, five SI,OOO bills were unearthed from the mass of dimes and dollars.

The agitation of the existing misunderstanding of the Chattan ooga, Rome & Columbus road with its contractors has been watched with interest by local railroad men. It is now asserted that G. Gunby Jordan, general manager of the Georgia Midland & Gulf, has been appointed a special master in chan cery to report to the United States court, which will be used as a basis for a settlement of the litigation between the Chattahoochee Brick company and the Chattanooga, Rome & Columbus road. No fur ther action will be taken by the courts until the reports is made. Sparta Ishmaelite: The papers are discussing the question as to whether marriage is a failure. Old bachelor editors seem to be unu sually well on it. Without going into particulars, It may be said in general terms that the woman who marries a white-eyed man takes a fearful risk. The New York Times says: Just as the big rate wars in the west ap proach settlement a fight breaks out among the railroads of the south. Threats have been heard for some time. Yesterday there camo what amounted practically to an official announcement of it. The East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Company, backed by the controlling powers of the Richmond Terminal company, comes to the front as the .aggressor. The Georgia Central, richest of all the southern roads, has the other end of the fight, and if plans publicly proclaimed are carried out there will be a bitter contest, and one that, continued to its declared aims, will involve the loss of a million of dollars. Briefly told, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia company proposes to parallel the Georgia Central road into Savannah, and not this only, but carrying the war to the bitter end, the East Tennessee proposes to compete with the Ocean Steamship company’, running between Savan nah and New York. This sensa tional plan was discussed and agreed upon at a meeting of East Tennessee and Georgia directors. Stranger—“ That’s a nice goat you have there.

Since beginning business here on Ist of January last our trade has Increased and Enlarged week by week until now when we have one of the beet trades enjoyed by merchants in North Georgia. This is explained by the fact that we have bought out A t cibOUt half pHoCS Three Large Bankrupt Stocks of. Goods And placed on our counters for LESS TH AN WHOLESALE VALUE#. This captured the people and filled our house with customers and made us scores of friends. For the FALL AND WINTER TRADE now coming in, we have been singularly fortunate in making our purchases—having secured most of our entire stock at Bankrupt and Closing Out Sales. We have an immense stock of Hats—all qualities and styles—bought lower than anything ever shipped, to Rome before. « ■ In Dry Goods We Are Bottom. In Clothing we shall certainly during the coming season, be able to go in front with LOWER PRICES than were ever made in this market, whether at wholesale or retail. Afew weeks ago, when the announcement of the failure of SELIGMAN, MAY & CO., the greatest Cloth ing Manufacturers, 619 and 651 Broadway, New York, was made public, we at once went to that city, and with the cash in hand, bought from the assignee a large number of the VERY BEST “DRIVES” In the establisment. Our customers may confidently expect to buy of us Cheaper Clothing than were ever offered here before. Think of a Splendid SUIT OF CLOTHES FOR $5-75, and a S3O suit for $19 — nearly 40 per cent, below usual values. Overcoats from $3 up. We arc extremely fortunate in getting jfWA Fine Stock of Shoes at About Half Price. A Splendid Dress Shirt for 45 cents. All sorts of Shirts and Underwear nt but little over llsllf Price.
