want of room forced us to be content with carrying a very limited
stock compared with what we arc now prepared to oiler. Improve
ments and extensions just completed, make our present premises—tivo
floors, each IGS feet long by 25 feet wide—the handsomest, most
commodious, best lighted anil best suited in every way for the dis
play of goods, in Augusta ; and we challenge the South Atlantic States
to match the stock for variety, completeness of assortment and care
fulness of selection. More time and attention are devoted to its pur
chase, than are spent on any similar stock in the South, and the result,
will be apparent to all who inspect it carefully. On the shelves, and
in reserve, can be found at all times full lines of every class of Dry
Goods, Notions, etc., from low priced SUBSTANTIAL GOODS 'IO

A Point Well Taken.
Augusta Gazette : How docs the
Legislature reconcile its refusal to at-
I low fen hours to constitute a working
day for others with its claim of six
hours as a working day lor itself?
It should not let this question fail of
consideration for want of a constitu
tional majority.
Tin 1 Harmonica.
Our Grovetown correspondent
sends up the following: At the ne
gro campmeeting on last Sunday,
while a good old African sister was
exhorting the brudderen and sisters a
jolly lad of eight summers was stand
ing off at a short distance, blowing
his harmonica with all the gayety and
j mirth of boyhood, when be attracted
1 the exhorter’s attention. She turned
toward him and said, “Boy, sto > that
thing ! for God is looking on you with
a frown right now." The little fellow
being so deeply engaged, never heard
a word that the old darky said. She
threw her head to one side and cast
ing her eyes round muttered, “God, if
vou can’t do anything else with him,
cripple him.”
Addition Making Shorter.
What word is that to which if you
add a syllable it will make it shorter?

—The public gins in this county

ITH BENEEICIAL EFFECTS UPON HARLEM (!)
At an early hour Tuesday even
ing a gentle rain began to full, which
had u reviving influence upon all na
ture, animate and inanimate. While
it is too late to help the crops mate
rially, still it will put the soil
in good condition for sowing grain.
The pea crop is too far goue to'be
benetitted much. Also, the potato
crop. But “’tis nn ill wind that blows
no good.” we will not be troubled
with dust for several days nt least,
and perhaps some of our kind and
considerate and we might add truth
ful friends will say, the timely rains
will improve the malarial condition of
Harlem, and we trust when these so
called malarial disorders are remov
ed, that the parties who seem to have
been so much interested in Harlem’s
welfare, will come to the front, near
to us, Christian-like, shake us by the
haud and warmly congratulate us
upon our freedom from so perilous
state of affairs.
A DES'I KIII TIIE BURIIMI.
DWELLING OF JACOB DAVIS, NEAR DEANS
BIIIDOE, DESTROYED.
The Augusta Gazette of Wednes
day says: At about daylight yester
day morning Mr. Jacob Davis and
family, who live nt Dean’s bridge,,
about eight, miles from Augusta,
were awakened by n roaring noise,
and upon investigation it was ascer
tained that the dwelling was on fire
mid rapidly burning to the ground.
The flames gained such headway that
the entire dwelling mid kitchen were
completely demolished. Mr. Davis’
family were removed without any in
jury, Mih. Davis being nt present just
recovering from a recent illness.—
Loss amounted to about $1,200, and
tliera was no insurance.
Wiincn CtHiijly Colton I’ickertu
Wa Teuton Clipper: A fourteen
year-old negro boy living on Mr. Har
per Coleman’s place, who hint the
mi.-ifortum) to have his arm shot off
during the lite freshet, beats the re
cord for cotton picking. Though
with only one arm, he picked 1,150
pounds of cotton in live and halfdays.
This is better than most two armed
negro boys could have done.
Who can bent this? Three sons of
Mr. J. Wint Norris, on last Tuesday,
picked between them Oil pounds of
cotton. This will seem more remark
able when wo consider their ages.—
The youngest about 12 years, • ickft'l
301; the next, about 15, 305; the next
about 20, 305.
He Traced Ihe Likeness-
Valdosta Times: An enterprising

few days ago u countryman approach

hand, said “howdy-do ” The dummy
neither seized the proffered band nor
smiled nn acknowledgement of the
salute. The boys in the house laugh
(d, and the countryman seeing that
he was “sold" walked on down the
street. A f.,w doors bvlow a stiff
young man, dreaming perhaps about
his best girl, wus standing with bis
