The editor made a flying trip to
Macon last week and is again absent
this week in Wrightsville attending
Johnson Superior Court, Hence
our'readers are again requested to
lend the appearance of the Post
their indulgence.

issue from the Albany (N. Y.) Lath
Journal. Comment is needless.

man who will give you tlio best bar
gain in that line. See his oard.
One day last wook Mr. Andrew
Hobbs’s two sons, M. M. Hobbs and

lbs. of cotton respectively. Oil the

Collins’ carriage repository in Ma
con is this week advertised in the

Mr. T. H. Rowe came near losing
his gin house by fire last Thursday.
A spark from the^ smokestack fired
some cotton, and but for the timely
discovery by the senso of smelling

guished.
Wo regret exceedingly to learn of
the painful accident met with by
Dr. Garter last week in getting his
arm badly cut up in his gin. The
report roaehed here that it was feared
amputation was necessary. But Dr.
Hightower, who was summoned to
dress the ‘wounds, reports. that l^q,
has very little fear of such a result.
Mr. M. B. Graham sends ns a
double ear of corn which resembles a
pair of old-fashioned saddle-bags
more than anything else wo can
think of. It scorns to have grown on
the tassel of a “sucker.” A single-
stemmed tassel grew out and foimod
a perfect nubbin around itself as a
cob; it then grew on above three
inches as a tassel when another nub
bin was formed. The weight of the
latter nubbin bent the tassel over
and. the two little ears of corn hung
sido by side, as above stated, like a
pair of saddle-bags. ..
Wc have more than once called
the attention of oui readers to the
fact that Winship & Callaway’s is
the best place in middle Georgia to
buy a reliable suit of clothes. In
these days of shoddyism it is no easy
matter to get a suit of ready made
clothing that is reliable. The decep
tion is so complete that it cannot bo
detected until tho goods are tried,
when it is too late. But by purchas
ing from Winship & Callaway in
Macon you can escape all risk of be
ing imposed upon. Tho reputation
of their house is such that they can’t
afford to misrepresent their goods.
Through the Window!
On last Saturday night Miss Mary
Holmes, who lives all alone ir. a little
house in a rather secluded portion of
the suberbs of the town, was roused
from her slumbers by tho noise of
some one breaking in through a win
dow. She awoke Mrj. Susan Butts
who happened to be spending the
night with her, jumped up and en
deavored to kindle the fire. Whou
the burglar discovered her intention
ho seized and prevented her. Mrs.
Butts, as soon as she comprehended
the situation, ran for help. The
neighbors hurried hot in haste to the
Beene of disturbance, but found the
scoundrel had fled. We hear that
tho ladies both say they recognized
the scamp sufficiently by the light of
the-coals to know it was a negro.
Just Received!
The most beautiful and the most
varied display of toilet soaps over
seen in Dublin; elegant combs—from
10 to 75 cts.; camel hair shaving
brushes; triple extract of musk; po
made; money purses, &c. &c, at J.
w. Peacock's & Co.'s.
Julian Lends!
Don't fail to road tho advertise
ment of W. A. Julian & Co., of Ma
con. We made somo purchases iu
that houso last week and therefore
can speak knowingly. Thoy arc do
ing just what thoy say in their card.
They have tho largest, finest and
most fashionable retail drygoods
houso in the city of Macon. Their
counters are constantly lined with
customers whoso wishes are all at
tended to by politost clorks, stacks
on staoks of new goods aro piled in
the* back rooms and still more goods
arriving. Tho prices and the quality
of the goods aro such as to satisfy
any reasonable customers. When
you go to Macon don’t fail to call at
Julian & Co.’s.
Condor Items,

Mr. S. B. Ilostor has a but-hoadod
ox which can slip a bridlo as easily as

Tom Wilcox wants that courting Pare, Fresh Drugs
mail to rido a bigger horse next time;
one that can’t get under tho crib, at
least.
McVay aud Choate.
The Coohran Enterprise has this
to say of McVay & Choato:
“They are old business men, and
understand merchandising in all its
branches. Their storo is situated at
tho corner of Second and Beooh
streets, and is one of tho largest aud
most commodious in Cochran. They
have attached to thoir store, a ware.
honso, which is largo enough to storo
all tho cotton brought to this mar
ket. Thoir house is at present com
pletely filled with goods from ‘collar
to attic.’ There is not a shelf or
counter that is not packed with
goods. So large is thoir stook that
thoy are compelled to lot somo of it
remain unopened until they niako
room for it by selling out what they
have put up. Hero you can got any
thing from a baby rattler to a stoam
engine atid at a price that will suit
you. They sell almost as cheaply as
the Macon or Savannah merchants;
and some articles cheaper. They
have ou hand all kinds of family
groceries, sugar, coffee, tobacco, and
in fact everything in tho groeprv
line. They also have calicoes, joans,
ready mado clothing, shooting, boots,
hats, and anything that you can pos
sibly think of. In addition to those
they havo a full lino of tinware and
lnirdwaro and can supply you with
any articlo that is noeded.
If-yon want to see ono of the larg
est and best selected stock of gqoda
that has ever* been bi-ought to this
part of tho oountry, you have only
to visit the store of McVay & Choate.
Yon can got anything in the world
you want if they are not out of tho
artiole, and if they are, they will or
der it for you if it- can be found in
Cochran.
This mammoth houso employs
eight clerks, and they havo no time
to sit froir?mprni'hg till night. They
are stirring all tho time. All are
polite and attentive, and will suit
you in anything. Mr. John O.
Dunham attends to their warohouso
and pays tho highest market prices
’or cotton brought to him. If you
store your cotton in their warohouso
you have no storage commission, or
insurance to pay, yet you got all the
advantages of commission and insur
anco. Tliese men as well as all oth
ers in Cochran are situated so that
they are able to pay more for cotton
than any of i ur neighboring towns,
and in many other instances the price
js equal to that of Macon. If the
farmers bring their cotton to Oochfan
they have not as much expense, aud
yet, get just as good a price. Carry
your cotton to, and buy your goods
of McVay & Chbate, and you will be
satisfied.”
