a lucrative trade. Erwin & F.rtson a
strictly cash house’and tip-top in every
say. Surely the people of Lincoln
need not have anything said to them
about those staunch firms M M.
Sims <0 Co-, and Cozart & Bums.
Nearly every ui&u in the county
trades at these two houses already.
J. M Wood has revolutionized things
in Washington m the way of first-class
Livery stable in every particular; and
his bar which is kept in a most elega -t
manner turns him over many huu
drtds of dollars per month. Corporal
Cordes, the honest jeweler, take our
word for if, reliable, wholly reliable,
and will do all he advertises. Charles
E. Smith, we wish him an abundant
trade-in-Wilkes and Lincoln ; in every¬
way lie deserves it. Lowe & Bro.,
have risen to much wealth and fair
reputation in Washington by conduct¬
ing in a most respectable way their
bar business, dealers in all the finest
wines and whiskies. J. W. Sanders
can furnish you with everything you
want in the way of hardware at At¬
lanta prices. L. Smith it Bro’s., ex¬
tensive carriage shops, where they al¬
ways keep on hand an abundant sup¬
ply of buggies, wagons, carriages, etc.,
are attracting the trade of the whole
couutry. Lastly we would call your
attention to the firm of Hogue &
Quin, a live cash house, a goabead ad¬
vertising house. They always sell lots
of goods in spite of the hardest times.
No better sign than that.

recommend a call.

a Convention, of the Democracy of the
Eighth Congressional District be held
on Monday, October 30ih, 1882, for

Seventh Congress, and that the mem¬
bers of the Democratic party, in the
various counties in the Eighth Dis¬
trict be r< quested to send delegates to
said Convention.
„Mr. Dugas moved to amend by in¬
serting Augusta as the place of meet¬
ing.
The amendment prevailed and the
resolution as amended, was adopted.
The Democratic press through out
the District were requested to publish
the resolution.
Thanks were returned to Col. M. J.

In another column will be seen an
advertisement of money loaned at 8
per cent. While it is to be deplored
that people have to borrow money
sometimes, still this is far preferable
to buying on credit at from fifty to
one hundred per cent. tf -
