It was 5e the mid-spring public entertainment of e the Thackston Literary Society, made e- up of members from the higher classes of the Institute and named in honor of i Prof. Thackston on account of his in r terest, efficiency and popularity. A rlarge audience was present, because' knowing the young folks who were to furnish the program, it was safe to ex pect a fine entertainment. The meet ing was opened with prayer by Rev. W. reH. Mills, and Mr. Dantzler Bradhan epresided. MHiss Ella Ridgeway acted Y' and Mr. Samuel Cole filled the secre tary's place. The first recitation was by Miss Har at net Harvin. who gave a splendid ren n dition of "Kit Carsons Wife." ;h Master Guery Stukes read for the ,e great amusement of the audience a d- sketch on "The Bald-Headed Man." at An essay on "Queen Victoria" by )e Miss Ethel Howle was gracefully read a and showed splendid preparation. to A speech of his own produetion on n- "Our Nation and its Pregress" by Mas ?r ter B. Pressley Earron was delivered d. with much ease and grace and exhibit ?r ed many marks of the born orator. ie The debate, on the query, "Resolved, That Cuba Should Now Have Her Freedom," was the subject of much in terest, because it involved a contest, and as it was well known in the com rs munity who th'e young contestants were. it was with great interest that the au le dience watched as with a critic's eye P- the manner in which the affirmative i and negative acquitted themselves. It le would be unfair to discriminate in des ' cribing the speeches of these young S contestants, and in fact it would indeed be bard to do. The affirmative side of the question was admirably reprc sented by Miss Pet Wilson and Mr. e ilton Weinberg, while Miss Sarah e Harvin and Mr. John Breedin on the e negative equally as well combatted every point and advanced some fine g argument why Cuba should not yet be turned loose to.take her chance in the big family of nations of the world. The judges were Capt. W. C. Davis, Dr. J. F. Geiger and Mr. W. C. Du Rant, who were requested to make their decision strictly upon the argu ment and merits of the debate. Captain Diavis announced the deci sion for the committee and beautifully alluded to the many recollections of his own while in Cuba that the debate had called to mind, and after holding the audience in suspense for a while announced that while the committee was not unanimous, yet a majority had decided "according to the law and the evidence," or rather the argument, n that the fair Queen of the Antillees e should not yet be freed, which meant e a decision for the negative. Captain Davis complimented all the participants a in the debate most highly. : The entertainment was without d prizes, except that Mr. Isaac M. Loryea t had offered a handsome volume of e poems to the yound lady on the winning - side, which went to Miss Sarah Harvin. The editor was not present, owing to ,t instructions from his better-half to stay home to mind the baby while she and d the rest of the tribe enjoyed being -en tertairied. ATLANTA, GA., Nov. 7. 1879. Dr. C. J. Mo3TT-Dear Sir: I cannot too strongly recommend your TEETHINA (Teeth ing Powders) to mothers as one of the best medicines they can obtain for their debilitated andsickly infants.

A Fine Showing. s In another column will be noted the tt report of Town Council, which shows a tremendous improvement in the finan > cial receipts of this town. True, this S council has had money to work with, 0 but without any disparagement of for emer councils, we do not hesitate to say, that the present council has done more! e than any other we have had. t The town has been thoroughly po -liced, the streets kept in excellent con e dition and with the large expenditure h of money we have not heard the slight-: i est hint of bad or favorite management. e When a town is so fortunate as to have 1 the management of its affairs in the .e hands of totally disinterested men, such tas this town has, the people should use every effort to continue such man agement. We believe the town has reached that stage where the .mayor should receive a has todo the principal art of the supervising of the work and a watch the finances. I~ is well to have a council that is not r' af r working the town for individual benefit, such as the devising of means to gobble the income. For instance, if r Manning should be so unfortunate as to e have a council influenced by those on the make, it would would not be long before the town would be covered with i debt for improvements, and our taxes B would necessarily be raised to meet this i burden. There are a number of ways id that a concil could run a town in debt; for instance, opening lop streets through lands that would have to be paid for a t a stiff price, even if that street adds treble the value to the lots which it goes through. Then it can give out a franchise for lightiing, and when once given, tho concern holding V the franchise has a monopoly and can s charge whatever it may choose: the y same with other franchises, once ob e taned, it precludes competition. We B could go on and enumerate a number of 1- ways how she treasury might be legiti I, mately looted. The present council has sa done well, and they deserve the thanks of this entire community. The money spent upon our educational institution was a wise expenditure and one that will result in a magnificent harvest. 7, When wa go to select officers for the iy next term let us keep in mind that if a, we can induce men to take thesepoi tions who have not, or are not likey t have, any axes to grind o': favorites to aid, they are the kind who will give us .good service and run the town hand somely without going in debt or in creasing the tax. If there is a street to open they will consider the benefit to taxpayers and not the individual owfier; if a proposition for improvements, they will take the town's ability and need into consideration, and not the benefit which might result to individuals.

Why, we are selling so cheap and it is likely you will find these same goods at other places for twice what we ask for them. Everything we sell is at a bargain. When goods are bought at the bottom notch price and those who work for me are paid a fair price for their labor. and if there is left a small profit of 10 per cent for me 1 am satisfied.

The above is only a few of the many - Spring Bonanzas We have in store for you, and we earnestly beg you to come down and see our goods and corroborate the statement that we are now "The Dry Goods Leaders." Yours to please always, OLD S.A IY E RELIABLE, vent us from making the glaring statement that we sell everything in store cheaper than our competitors. Such statements would be ver to shake the confidence ,of our intelligent patrons;, .but there is one ig that we do say with all candor and without fear of successful contra :ion, that we carry ONE of the largest and best selected stoek-t-.--'-. ds of any -houSmrin this-part-fth-Stat-an- eY1ffli7lass dry ds house who deals in.the same class of goods as we do to name closer" es than we are quoting. We court comparisons and specially invite the public to call and look >r goods and get our prices and compare~ them with other houses and if we are not able to support the above statement. As we have said before, that we are not prepared to say that we sell rything cheaper than our competitors, but we do feel justified in saying t we own many lines of goods that we are selling cheaper than our comn itors can sell you the same goods, for while in the market ',e picked up of goods below the market value and we are selling these goods in pro ion to the low prices at which we got them. Take, for instance, we picked up while in New York two cases (5,000 ds) of yard-wide Percales that we are selling, at 5e per yard. These ds are all full pieces and perfect goods.,Now we know our competitors not selling these goods at these prie, for we knoiw they can't get En, for the same goods are quoted on the wholesgle market today at SWe yard. Take again, for instance, we are selling a nice fast colored -Shirting at at Sjc that is sold' everywhere at 5c per yard, but we picked these dsup at a bargain and we let them go the same way. Take again, we picked up a lot of fine White Persian Lawns that we selling at 15e per yard that are sold everywhere at 25c per yard. And again, we picked up four boxes of ImportedWhite Organdies that are selling at 25e per yard; the same goods are sold elsewhere at 85. per And again, we picked up a line of Drummers' Sample Hats, in Felt and w, at 50 per cent under value and we are lettiug these Sample Hats go >roportionate values. And again we picked up a 'large lot of All-Wool Flannel Suits, Coat and its that we are selling at $3.50 per Suit that you cannot buy elsewhere less than $5, and a look at these goods will convihce you of this fact. And again we picked up a lot of 100 dozen Ladies' Gauze Undervests t we are selling at 5, 8 and 10c each is in round dozens at 50, 75c and $1 dozen. Now we feel very confident that you cannot find such values as these 'where else in town, and when you see these Vests you will bear us out his statement. There are many other things in our large stock that we picked up Ler value and are able and selling cheaper than our competitors can sell m, while prudence and modesty tell us that there are many, many igs in our store that you can buy just as cheap elsewhere. Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's." For eighteen years we have served the people of Clarendon County in capacity of salesman, and for the last seven years as proprietor of my'~ i establishment and during all these long ypars of service it has ever n our ambition to merit the confidence of the public, to '"Render unto ar the things that are Cesar's" and unto every man his just dues. We feel that we have met with success in sharing the confidence of the lic, for The Jenkinson Dry Goods Store is known in every household in rendon County as a reliable house and a house that deals in reliab~le And The Jenkinson Dry Goods Store is also known to be a standard e-maker, for it has come to our ears that some of our worthy contem aries have used our name across thei- counters, saying that The Jenk n Dry Goods Store asks so and so for such and such goods. Thank ,my kind friends, for such a higli compliment and for thus thinking of Lud advertising us, when we did not expect such a high compliment. A/i E. JENKINSON.
