LOCAL PEXCILIXGS The bridge is finished, and we an glad of it. Grain era lies at McZZlreath <5 Bros, Raney fihaiffl.es is taking his rounds this week. Be a shamed, my friend Mre. Mollie Lindley, of Austell, ii visiting the family of Mr. A. G " JFeddington. We will try and publish a bettei paper next week. We have ordered s new heading and we want to make some other improvements also. Our “Gattling Gun” has got to be a tenor to our competitors. Lister how they squall. • S,N. DORSETT & CO. Miss Nora Howell, of Sweetwater, is the guest of Miss Fannie W edding ton. Give ns al9 foot bridge and we are pleased. It gave us relief whon the last plank was laid. Hurrah for the contractors, and the council. Our competitors will quote the •*‘Gattling Gun” but they can’t come in rifle range of oar prices. Com pare and see. S. N. DORSETT & CO. A very interesting meeting is in progiessat the Methodist church in this place. Our merchants close their doors one hour each day. Some of our merchants are the cleverest men nn Georgia. When the Gittling guns explode you will hear the report of blank car tridges, and the people will be found at J. P. Watson’s buying the bar gains that are always to be had over dris counters. Mrs. E. F. McLarty, Gt Polk coun ty, and her children are the guests of Mrs. A. G. Weddington, of this rplaee. When men talk about crushing competitors, J. P. Watson laughs. He courts competition. There is not a lawyer in Fairburn. At least one can’t tell that there is from reading the Campbell County News. Gentlemen, they are deserv ing men, give them your cards. Mr. D. P. Whiiemuight a carp on his trap in sweetwater, that weighed nine pounds. Ha has caught several heretofore, hut none so large as this otto. J. P. Watson went to the city Monday morning. Now, look out for new,fresh goods, an I living pr.- -oes. Mr. J. L. Perkins, wife and little Virgie, were in town last Sunday. Mr. Perkins and his interesting fam ily have an enviable reputation Id this community. Everybody in Douglas and ad joining connlies, are invited to at tend Dorsett A Co’s, sale next Sat urday. Read their advertisement. ITnclc Reese Watkins was in ♦town to-day. He ia looking quite feeble, hut is the same clever, geu .la! old gentleman of old. v James Height, of Paulding conn- is the largest land owner in the ■Suit. He owns 250.000 acres. — Ham Ison Banner. That’s nut so. The “Gattiing Gun” of S. N. Dor sett & Co. has done more than at was designed to. It has made some of ibe natives wake up before it was \fired. Our low prices will still more astonish them. 8. N. DORSETT A CO. The Hon. Mr. Fite, of CartersviUe collector f ;r this sub- lislriot took 1118.20 out of Douglasville to day, for revenue licenses. IPe call attention to the advertise ments of J. C. Wright and J. A. Pittman to be found elsewhere in this issue. These gentlemen are well and favorably known to our readers and all that is necessary, is simply to i -call attention to their advertisements. We are truly glad that our enrrm- and country frieuds are waging war against the merchants who do not help u» sustain tbeit county paper. Thai's right; a man that esn’tsoe the**g,um” in adverti sing will not do to trade with. He knows uotlnng obout business, and deserves no patronage. After you have hunted the towu for Lw!i«s* Hand Made Shoes. Qeu tlemeu’s Clothing, Spring Styles in Dress Goods, and fad to find what you want, then go to J. P. Watson’s and gel il al prices where every coh< makes the Gaining gun sound like s toy. Iu another column will Im fount the advertisement ol Mr. F. M. Tur nsr’a bar. Mr. Turner has but re •C 'nilv become a citizen of our burs but during tvs short lime here.he has by quiet draj-snor and gentk-tunnlj bearing, gained the confidence ani esteem of our entire |h uple.

There is a very interesting protrac ted meeting being carried on this week at the Methodist church, con -0 ducted by Rev. Jfr. Owens, assisted by Rev. N. E, Mcßrayer, and that grand and g od old man, the Rev. J. B. C. Quillian. We earnestly hope that preat good may emanate from I 8 their efforts, and if Christian zeal and !• earnest preaching can accomplish is anything, we look for an abundant 1. harvest of their reaping. At J. P. IPatson’s you can dupli r cate eastern prices on Furniture. He a always has in stock Bureaus, Tables, e Round and Marble Top, Bedsteads of every quality,springs and mattres ses. No need to go to All anta,when e you can gel what you want at home u and at less figures than Atlanta can or will quote. , We regret to announce the almost r ’ sudden death of Mr. Jot Wingo, who ’ lived near Chapel Hill He was go ing to school at Chapel Hill, and' e having become very warm by play -1 ing, put his head under a spout of r water, to cool off - , and from cooling too suddenly, had something like 5 congestion and died right away r . He 3 was a noble young tr.ar., and we siil . cerelysympathize with his bereaved relatives. Two of Douglasville’s sports began 1 betting the ot her day, on horse shoe 1 pitching, or pool playing, or some r thing of that kind, und when they ’ f got through one of them owed the i 1 other $7,200,000. He says liTs faint ly will have to live on ham and eggs , | and fresh fish and such coarse fare . as that for a whole week, so that he [ 1 can make money enough to pay the . bet.
