A Cheap Market.
Country people wishing to buy
goods of any kiud at wholesale prices
should send th* ir orders to me. An
acquaintance of eleven years with
most Atlanta merchants, and person
al attention enables me to buy a bet
ter quality of goods from 10 to 40
per cent, cheaper than people unac
quainted. Merchants, also, when in
need of supplies of any kind will find
it greatly to their interests to ordc
through me.

We believe it U generally agreed
that the Humpty Dumpty of George
Adams* troupe, is lho best of the
kind that has been to Athens. Every
expression that we have heard has
been of unqualified praise. Mr. Ad
ams himself is a star actor in liiw hue,
and his support is worthy of him.
From beginning to end of the per
formance, the’nudienco was captiva
ted. The jugglery was first class;
the ventriloquism we have never seen
surpassed; the acrobutisin wao mar
velous; and the general humpty-
duroptyiiun ot the performance can
not ha excelled by any company on
the boards.
The company won golden opinions
by its superb acting, nnd when they
return next. Friday night, another
good audience will greet them. It is
uuques'iouably true that they cannot
be surpassed.
Protect the KirtR
Protect the birds. Keep the hun
ters off yaur grain crops. The worms
are doing great damage to wheat,
oats, etc, but where the land has
been posted, and the birds are allow
ed to destroy the worms, there is no
damage done to tiio grain. Farmers
remember this; one bird is worth
twenty small boys and colored galoots
with guns in your grain fields.
The above, which we copy from an
exchange, is wot thy of attention. It
is the fashion in this country for eve
ry white boy, nnd negro of any nge,
who is not regularlyjemployed, to
make a regular crusade against the
birds every spring. It is accounted
sport to go to the fields with au old
single barrel gun, and slaughter birds
wLich as gamo don’t ainouut to a cir«
cu instance. The law' of the state
prohibits this to ncerum extent, but
the law is regarded very little. The
beat w ay to atop it, perhaps, is aa
suggested above. Lot each land

become general, the hunting business

tion with his business of stone masons

It turns out fo be otherwise. Mr.
Chappie, not desiring ?o attend lo all
the details of cemetery woik and re
main in the cemetery all the time,**in-
ployed Mr. Daniel as sexton, agree-
ing to guarantee him a dollar a day.
out of the lee-*.
This would have worked very well,
but the fees did not amount to the
salary which was guaranteed by Mr.
Chappie. In 1880 they were only
♦52, and 1881 only 8105. The bal
ance Mr. C. had to pay. At the close
of 1881, he told Mr. Daniel that he
was unable to employ him longer on
these terms, as a large portion of the
ton’s pay had to come out of his
own pocket; nnd he proposed to
ive Mr. Daniel the sexton’s place
and h't him look to the fees for his
compensation. This Mr. Daniel de
clined to do, as the fees would not
amount to w hat he considered just
remuneration, Mr. Chappie then
had to find somebody who would take
the place for the fees, and he selected
Dennis Clayton, a colored man, who
had been from time to time employed
by parties to dig graves. Dennis, it
seems, is objectionable, and there is
necessity for a change.
The matter is not very difficult of
solution. The only trouble is, that
the fees of the office are not sufficient
to pay a responsible party for holding
it. That trouble can he remedied by
the city council appropriating a cer*
tain sum of money every year, lo pay
the sexton’s salary, in addition to his
foes. The trustees, under this plan,
might still have charge of the ceme
tery, and to them the sexton would
be responsible. The want of funds
to pay a good sexton is the main dif
ficulty, and those can be supplied and
ought to be—even If they have to
come direct from the city treasury.
This would be an additional expense
to the city, it is true; but it is a nec
essary expense, and the city of Ath
ens is nut so poor that she cannot pay'
all necessary expenses.
.Meanwhile, we are glad to see the
matter agitated. Agitation will
most probably bring improvement.

The following is true, of course, as
we copy it from the esteemed Augus
ta News:
‘A merchant nmy quietly sit down
in bis storo and never advertise, and
grumble about dull trade, but then
he will never get rich. More enter
prise and a liberal use ot printer’s ink
would help attract trade, it a fresh
stock is kept. Be up and doing,blow
your own horn and mako a noise, or
people will pass yon by and never
see or bear tell of yon. This is a day
of live men, and dead men are quick

It the nadir will pardon me for a
