On and after the 1st day Of January 1876,
my business will be conducted on the e.r.
claslesly cash plan, being fully convinced
that it Is the only true plan by which jus.
tice can be done to buyer aud seller. This
conclusion has been arrived at utter mature
deliberation and long experience. and it is
the intention to adhere strictly to the letter
of this notice. Goods. can and will be sold
for less margin for cash than on credit,
and the public arc invited to come and be
convinced that this is self evident fact.
It is proper at the close Of this year, 1875,
TO return our thanks to the many friends
who have given US SO. literally of their
patronage, and hope the New car will
open bright With promises for every man,
woman aud child, (in fact would like 10

Investigating Committee have joined
the Democrats IN signing a report which
greatly damages his case. The Repub-
licans of Alabama take high ground in
this instance, which is something new fer
Republicans in a carpet-bsg State. They
claim a desire to reorganize their party
on a sound basis, which cannot be done
while they uphold the acts Of such men
as Spencer. At the same time they
admit that it was through his misuse and
abuse Of Federal patronage mainly that
they lost the State. Morton will, no
doubt, defend Spencer, but there is, pos
sibly, enough of the respectable element
in the Senate outside Of the Democratic
wing to secure a fair hearing Of the case
when it is sent up to the Alabama Legis-
l0ture. Spencer is one of that class of
statesmen who have been invited by the
great body OF the American people to
take back seats, and when once out of
sight will be forever out of mind save
when jobbery and abuse of public trusts
want a ct illustration.
