Let us walk softly not that we may rouse him-but in rev irence of the saintly soul that has fall en on sleep in Jesus.

WHITMAN, 830 Broad St., Augusta, Ga. Can't You Imagine how anxious we are lo dispose of the remainder of our stock of furniture before another full stock arrives. We have a larg'} supply ou hand, but for a short while we prop >se offering extra in ducements to buyers of Furniture, ludeed we always offer extra in ducements to purchasers of furni ture, but just now we are positively out-stripping all former efforts. Come at once and get < ur prices on bed room suits, parlor suits,, washstands, bedsteads, rocking chairs etc. Our prices Have been r?duced lo meet al* emergencies, and remember that we will order anything which we do not carry in stock, but we eau fit up a residence from cellcr to garret and if t eed be can give you advice about getting married and how toi commence "keeping house." Ahead of Time ! Peifection unsurpassed! Theas ar(~ some of the things that have been said about the "Old Hickory" wag ons. We have sold dozens of the "Ol I Hickory" this season and scarcely a day passes that a new vehicle is not rolled out and rolled away from our establishment by some happy customer. Of the "Old Hickory" wagon wo will always as sert that it is the first and best, in comparable as to durability and it. many other particulars. Moreover We are loaded to the muzzle with Buggies and Carnacs of all grades and descriptions and propose to shoot them off in every direction. Now, get in a position where one of these fancy things on wheels will strike you. It is Useless To tell the public that we carry in stock Blacksmich tools, Carpenter's tools, hubs, rims, spokes, tires, aud a complete stock of wheelwrights' supplies. Farmers Should remember t ii at wo deal in such implements as they need and that we do not want the carib when quoting prices for the same.
