About September first we shall move into
our new store, at the old stand, Barlow Block,
Public Square, where we shall open the most
elegant assortment of goods in our line ever
brought to Southwest Georgia. At our pres
ent store on Cotton Avenue, we have a large
stock of Watches, Clocks and Jewelry, Solid
Silver and Plated Ware, Pianos, Organs and
Sewing Machines, and everything else usually
kept in a Jewelry and Music Store, that must
be reduced to save moving and make room
for new goods. Therefore, for the next
Twenty Days, or until we move, will sell any
thing we have in stock at prices lower than
have ever been reached before
There is much sickness hero,
j mostly remittent fever.
Green Lawson died Sept. 25th,
after a short illness; aged about 70
years. He was a man universally
esteemed, and friends in five coun
ties mourn bis loss.
This is our time to sell lands
here, nnd prices arc higher than
last year. How long land will be
be sold here for $.100 per aero
whereupon a man can make a good
living, is a problem.
Merry Mcultrie has left us and
we arc sad, but friends here send
after him their best wishes for his
success and good health. We re
gret our loss, but hope his lot may
fall among friends nnd in pleasant
places.

I Record, mammoths were ns com
mon as cows now a days. But for
some reasons the species became
extinct several thousand years ago,
and like its contemporaries, the
mastodon, the mcgalnsaurus, the
ichthyosaurus, the pterodactyl, the
plesiosa urus and the dodo has
never been seen or beard of since,
except when its bones have been
dug up and put on exhibition in
some museum of natural history
wealthy enough to pay for so valu
able a prize.
What, then, was the surprise and
delight of tho scientific world when
it was recently announced thut two
live mammoths had been captured
in the interior of one of tbo islands
of tbo Malay Archipelago, and that
the marvelous beasts were on their
way to New York.
Their arrival, about a fortnight
ago, was greeted witli great joy,
and tbo students of natural bistory
who wero posted on the history of
pre-historic bones nt once proceed
ed to feel the skulls, ribs and knee
caps ot the visitors to see if thoso
features agreed with the same
prominent architectural peculiari
ties of their long since extinct an
cestors.
The result was in ail respects
satisfactory, and tbo modern mam
moths were given certificates of
character that proved them to be
members of a family whose disap
pearance bad been wailed for many
centuries.
Tbon it was that Philadelphia
showmen secured for exhibition in
this city the pocket editions of a
species that at one time grew to a

a mere doll. Tho two strange ani
rals aro ns yet very small, Pbun
ga, tbo largest, being but four feet
high, and Qucdah, the smaller of
tho pair, only measuring thirty
inches, .but they are confidently
expected to grow until they reach
the height attained by their Ances
tors before the flood. At a flrst
glance they look like diminutive
ciepbunts, but they aro covered
witli a heavy growth of coarse
hair, which varies in length from
five to eight inches, and the roots
of which arc lost in a thick, woolly
undergrowth. Their mild and
gentle eyes are of n bluish shade.
The most astonishing feature of
the strango beasts is their surpris
ing sagacity, and, although they
have only been trained lor a fow
weeks, they show an ability to
learn tricks that causes wonder
nmong the men who have been for
years accustomed to training ani
mals and who have had charge of
their education,
A piivate exhibition of the

In 1871 Tweed awarded a contract
to JoBe dc Navarro for 10,000
water metres at $70 each. The
metres were furnished, but never
used. When tho Tweed ring was
broken up it was thought that this
contract was one of Tweed’s mon
ey-making schemes, and payment
was refused. The original bill
was $700,000. The interest makes
the judgment more than double
that amount.

THE POLITICAL FIELD.
A Very Close Contest Anticipated In
Onto.
Washington, Oot. 10.—George
W. Adams, one of the proprietors
of the Washington Evening Star,
who is watching the campaign in
Ohio, telegraphs the Star to-night
from Columbus as follows; Taking
the average of all sonrees of infor
mation received here, there is no
reason to change tbo current of
opinion in the East that the result
in Ohio on Tuesday noxt, as it
looks to-day, is one of very great
doubt. There has been a marked
change, the leaders of both parties
agree, within a week in favor of
the Democrats. General Logan
has expressed bis fears as to tbc
situation, nnd both bo and Mr.
Blaine have confirmed them by
their return to the State. The
two State committees this morning
decline to give any figures, though
the Republicans claim from 8 to
10,000 majority, while tho Demo
crats say with the greatest confi
dence that they have the State by
a fair majority. They are placing
tbeir greatest dependence on Ham
ilton county. If Cincinnati and
that county do not give over 4,000
majority, tno State is possibly lost
*,o tho Democrats, but tlioir esti
mate is placed as low as 3,500, and
on that basis they claim tbo State
by several thousand. Tho Ohio
State Journal, the organ of the
Republican party, has the follow
ing note of alarm this morning:
“Republicans have no longer a
reason to conceal the great danger
that lies in over-confidence, pro
ducing a light vote and an iiidiapu :
table danger, consequent on the
most thorough preparation and
systematic arrangements by the
Democratic managers both within
and from without the State.”
The Evening Star to-night says:
“There is considerable uneasiness
concerning the result In Ohio
manifested throughout tho depart
ments. All tho talk is that the
situation is critical, with the eban-
ccs that tho Democrats will elect
their candidate for secretary of
State and Supreme Court judge.
This opinion is expressed by poli
ticians about the hotels and politi
cal headquarters, und inquiries aro
being made on every hand.
“Colonel Halloway, editor of the
Indianapolis Times, who went on
Blaine's bond in his libol suit
against the Sentinel, wroto friends
in this city yesterday that be eould
not see las way clear at this time,
and feared that Blaine would not
seettro tho electoral voto of Indi
ana.
“A letter was received to-day at
the Democratic headquarters from
Mr. Jerome Eddy, chairman of the
Democratic State central commit
tee of Michigan, which says tho
Democrats are thoroughly united
and enthusiastio in their conduct
of the campaign, and that they
will hold their six Congressional
districts in that State which they
now have, and will probably gain
two Congressmen in the noxt dele
gation.”

Logan as a Confederate.
Hinton, W. Va., Oct. 10.—Con-
sidernDle sensation was created
here by John A. Logan, the Re
publican candidate for vice-presi
dent, insulting a man named West.
West walked up to Logan and
siad:“I am glad sir, to shake
hands with n man who raised a
confederate regiment in Illinois
during the war.” “You are a liar,
sir,” and taking a chew of tobacco
out of bis mouth tdrew it into
West’s face.

He was a tramp, and wbon be
bad carefully scanned the back
yard for the expected wood pile
and found none, be quietly slid
around, and knocking at the front
door, began his story of misfortune
and inability to get work. “Yes,”
said the farmer, who was of a
classic turn, “but labor conquers
all things; you remember the old
saw, don’t you f” “Yes, indeed I
do,” said the wayfarer, as tears
sturted to bis eyes;” and the remem
brance is indeed painful, but as I
came along I didn’t see any bang
ing up on the back of the bouse I
thought I would ask lor something
to eat. Yes, I remember the old
saw, and tbu wood pile, too, but
