HEADQUARTERS
FOR
Dry Goods, Notions and Novelties
822 Broad St., Augusta, Ga.
Since the fire of February 12th, which destroyed Masonic Temple,
want of room forced us to be content with carrying a very limited
stock compared with what we are now prepared to offer. Improve
ments and extensions just completed, make our present premises—two
floors, each 165 feet long by 25 feet wide—the handsomest, most
commodious, best lighted and 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 earc
tulnessof selection. More time and attention are devoted to its pur
chase, than arc 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 resere, can be found at all times full lines of every class of Dry
Goods, Notions, etc., from low priced SUBSTANTIAL GOODS TO
THE FINEST FABRICS end choicest designs produced in this coun
try or imported from abroad ; and without quoting figures in detail,
WE GIVE A POSITIVE, UNQUALIFIED GUARANTEE ON PRICES AGAINST
EVERY house and every market in the united states. We mean
to give satisfaction to every body who does business with us; and
whenever any article from our house does not come up to representa
tion, the purchaser will oblige us by notifying us promptly, and we
will make the matter satisfactory in every instance.
Samples sent by mail on application. In ordering samples, please
specify as exactly as possible the goods desired, and in ordering
goods, state whether something else may be substituted or not, in c.»ee
the particular article ordered is sold out.

Why Bobby Wasn’t Consulted.
Exchange: Bobby was inspecting
the new baby for the first time, and
his dictum was as ioilows: “I s’pose
it's nice enough what there is of if,”
he said without enthusiasm, “but I in
sorry it ain’t a parrot.”
When can a man have some
thing and nothing in bis pocket
at the same time ? When there is a
hole in it. If there is a hole in the
lungs it can be healed with Taylor’s
Cherokee Remedy of Sweet Gum and
Mullein.
\ Hairy Chicken.
Atlanta Constitution: A lady at
Indian Springs has a hen that is quite
a curiosity. It has a coat of hair in
place of feathers. Although it is on
ly a chicken, still it is a wonderful
freak of nature. It came from a flock
of ordinary chickens, and tie cause of
its singular coat is a mystery. Il lays,
sets and batches like other chickens,
and some of its offspring is like the
parent, but she has not yet succeeded
ifi brxoguag Ucm to maturity.

Gold 111 Conyers-
Atlanta Constitution: The outlook
in Conyers is bright. Added to the
inexhaustible field of pure granite
around this town, a gold mine, glis
tening with the richest ores, has been
discovered on the lands of Dr. Quigg,
less than half a mile from the court
house. This discovery is the sensa
tion of the day. The Conyers Gold
and Granite company is now being
organized to develop those treasures.
The Speed of Ileal and Cold-
It has been asked which travels
faster, heat or cold; and answered
heat. Because any one can catch a
cold. It therefore follows that every
one should keep Taylors Cherokee
Remedy of Sweet Gum and Mullein,
which will cure coughs, colds and
consumption.
HE CUT HIS THROAT
BECAUSE HE WAS CONVICTED OF STEALING.
Chattanooga, Oct. 5.- The most,
sensational scene ever witnessed in
the court room in this city occurred
at just five minutes to 10 o’clock this
morning. Sain Branch, a colored
man, was on trial for stealing a watch
from Pat Malouey. Ho hail been
placed on trial last week and the jury
disagreed. This morning the second
jury came into the court room, and
on inquiry from the court, stated that
they had found the defendant guilty
of grand larceny and fixed his pun
ishment nt five years in the peniten
tiary. Immediately Branch jumped
to his feet, whipped out a pocket
knife, and drew it across his throat
three times, cutting his windpipe en
tirely off and severing the right jugu
lar vein.
Great excitement followed, which
caused the court to adjourn until the
afternoon. The carpet of the court
room for several feet around was
drenched with blood.
Branch died in half an hour. He
claims to have been innocent of the
charge. He leaves a wife and two
children.—Atlanta Journal.
A DRIVE WOMM.
MRS. MULLIGAN CAPTUBES ONE OF A ROB
BER TRIO.
Augusta Gazette: At 1:30 o’clock
yesterday morning Mrs. Mulligan,
corner of Hopkins and Jackson
VOL VI NO 1
streets, was nroused by some noise on
the premises. The lady got up and
searched the house to see v. hnt was
the matter. Her feelings can be well
imagined when she discovered three
negro boys in the house. The Indy
did not, however, lose her presence of
mind. She promptly set down the
lamp she held in her hand, and made
for the burglars, who were scramb
ling out through a side window. Two
of them succeeded in escaping, 'but
the third Mrs. Mulligan captured.—
The lad, by name Lawrence Bird
song, made a strong residence, but
his youth, however, w:ts on Mrs. Mul
ligan’s side, and she held him until a
policeman was rapped for. Mr. Wil
son responded and the lad was led to
the court house. Later on ho was
turned over to the city court authori
ties. Nothing was missed from the
premises.
GEORGIA POLITICS
A REPORTED SLATE FIXED UP RY THE BOS
SES.
Atlanta correspondent Augusta
Chronicle: The fight on Senator Col
quitt, made by the Constitution, has
caused considerable comment nnd
speculation hero. Senator Colquitt
is undismayed, and allows to fight it
out on the issue raised if it takes all
th. summer. The purchase of the
Macon Telegraph by Congressman
Blount's brother in-law is thought to
be politically significant, and it is
said a slate has been made up by
which Gov. Gordon succeeds Senator
Brown and Mr. Blount succeeds Gov.
Gordon. Senator Colquitt is to suc
ceed himself. Whether it is true that'
a slate has been fixed up by the boss
es or not it is being discussed, nnd
the Macon Telegraph, which used to
be anti Blount, has been bought by
the latter’s friends, and it is said he is
himself a large stockholder. There
is a promise of interesting develop
ments in the future.
