r,,, 4nootu Hcr01d's reporter Il

THE atlanta Herdld's reporter has
interviewed General Gordon, who mas
returned from Mississippi. Gordon
thinks the Democracy will carry the
state this time; in fact, they are sick o.
Radicalisrn, and are determined to DO so
He saws the main fight of the Democrats
will be made on the Legislature, AND
thinks Lamar will be sent to the Senate
of the United States. He has hopes OF
two other Democratic Congressman be-
sides Lamar. We hope General Gordon
will prove true prophet. Perhaps 1t is
the fear of Democratic victory that has
moved Governor Ames to plead for the
military occupation of the State. Even
with the blue coats or hand, we trust
the Democracy will triumph.
Mr.. ARCHER PETTIGREw when star
cd home from Schrader's Blacksmith
shop one day last week, in company

seized Pettigrew by the arm and pulled
him to the ground, and ran considera-
ble distance with him, dragging by the
arm which was in his mouth. Petit
grew was very seriously injured and 1t
is thought his arm will have to De am.
putated. The horse held the arm of
Pettigrew in his mouth. until the.latte was
severely beaten by those who happened
to be present.

connected dress-making with millinery,
under the charge of Miss Jane Ramey,
and will soon be able to supply all de-
mands in both departments. The skill
and experience of these ladies are well
known, and no effort will be spared to
rive satisfaction. a full advertisement
for the Fall Season" will soon appear,

novelties of the season.
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION. - The
election for town council came OFT Oh
Monday, and resulted in the election OF
the old council, according to the ticket
agreed upon at a previous meeting OF the
citizens. The question of ''wCt and
dry' was not raised, and there was no
OPPOSITION ticket run. The old council
has given general satisfaction, and we
suppose could not be improved upon
with our present voting population:
We would like to see the experiment OF
anti-license tried, but have 10 hope OF
such a thing under existing circum-
stances.
THE TRADE OF ATLANTA.-The At
Lclnta Constitution publishes a double
sheet giving statement of the business
of the city during the past year, and
which shows an aggregate of $50 ,3l4 ,05S,
being a slight increase over last years
exhibit. The Constitution says:
1--WE think it will prove beyond cavll
that Atlanta is becoming the greatest
wholesale market in the South in the
magnitude, facilities and advantages OF
its mammoth commercial establish
ments. They can and do supply the
general trade more cheaply than New
York and eastern markets. 1t Is for this
reason that each year brings an increas'
ing number of merchants to Atlanta to
purchase stocks instead Of going North
and East"
