WASHINGTON, GA.
New Store.
Mr. C. M. Perryman has returned
to the mercantile business. This
week he opened up a new stock of
general merchandise in the Blanch¬
ard store, directly opposite known his old
stand. Mr. Perryman is to
our people as an enterprising, friends clever
young man and his many
predict for him much success in his
new venture.
A Painful Accident.
While greasing his gin belt Wed¬
nesday afternoon Col. N. AY. Steven¬
son, of Goshen, got his right hand
caught in the .brush wheel and had
it severely mashed, breaking several
of the small bones. Dr. Alec Burch
was called in and dressrd the frac¬
tured hand and at last accounts he
was resting very well. Col. Steven¬
son is one of the county’s most
prominet citizens, and has many
friends who will regret to learn of
his painful accident.
Mr. Gross Elected.
In our last issue we stated that
the race for senator in this district
would be close, with the chances
favoring the Democratic candidate.
The conclusion thus reached was
based on the special reports figured in the
daily papers, which it out
that Mr. Smith was elected by a
small majority. But since the offi¬
cial vote has been published we find
that they were mistaken, and that
Mr. Smith instead of being elected is
defeated by about one hundred ma¬
jority. Hon. M. W. Gross is there¬
fore our next senator.
A Hustling Firm.
The hustling firm of Miller &
Johnson extend to the citizens of
Lincoln an invitation to visit their
big store at Washington. We had
the pleasure of shaking hands with
Mr. Miller of the firm a few days
since. He informs us Washington of
draws a greater portion her best
trade from Lincoln county and that
he intended to make a big effort to
get a bigger portion of it. If big
stocks and low prices counted for
anything he was going to “get
there.” This firm visits New Vork
and other Northern markets from
three to four times a year just to
pick up bargains. We were much
struck with the vast piles of beauti¬
ful goods which We gretted heartily our eye on
every turn. commend
these gentlemen to our people as an
up to-date hustling firm willing who want
your business and are to
work for it with a molto of “all
prices based 011 4cts cotton.”

Carmell McCord, the old bachelor,
finds himself quite in a trap. After

She being quick on trigger, answers
him with this: “He who courts and
does not wed will find himself in
court instead.” You had better go
slow old boy. Bachelor.
