opposition to the payment of war claims
What is better, he has done wise and timely
thing" The Euening News of the same city
says that these claims are repudiated by the
great mass of honest Southerners, and adds
"Mr. Hill is right, and we earnestly hope nc
Southern man in Congress will ever again
vote to pay loyal Southern claim and pre-
vent the North from doing So" And the
Columbus Times says: "Surely no: represen
tative of the South after having been com
PEELED to repudiate all of the war debts of his
own section, both Confederate and State, can
feel any compunctions of conscience in taking
stand now, fourteen years after the close ot
the war, against the payment of any more
claims against the Federal Government fol
damages during the war, whether the claim,
ants be loyal or disloyal." g.. ..

|! T. M. DoBsON & co.
1t is with regret that we ANNOUNCE that the the
above house, which to this time has withstood
all the financial vcissitudes since its establish
ment, is reduced to the necessity Of PROPOSING
terms of compromise to it's creditors. In their
circular to their creditors, under date Of the
9th ultimo, Messrs. T. NJ. Dobson & Co. say
that their stock-prime ecost-amounts to shout
$1O, 900, much of which was bought prior to
recent shrinkage in values, and the same
goods can now be readily replaced for from
$1,000 to s., GOO. OF the large amount owing
to the firm, only about 81, 600 are eollectible.
Their liabilities are placed at 81 400. De
string to effect such reasonable settlement as
their assets will permit, they offer fifty per
cent. on each claim payable in two in install,
ments, at two and four months from date OF
acceptance. To secure payment Of this com,
position at maturity, they propose to place
their entire assets under the personal control
Of Messrs. Hart & Hart, attorneys, for realf
zation as!rapidly as possible. : - " ','ii
We learn that number of the, creditors
have assented their willingness to accept the
composition, as being a wiser course than
compelling an assignment, Or sacrificing the
stock at ruinous prices. In it's financial diff
ficultiees, the house of T. M. Dobson g Co.
is deserving the sympathies Of the people oi
the town and county. Mr.: Dobson, the active
man of the concern, is an energetic business
man, but his kindly disposition and willing
nessato extend the credit system beyond the
proper limits, have proven too serious 2 bur
den for him to carry Those who know him
best have full faith in his honesty and desire
to pay to the full extent Of his ability.

loaded with good things of a well appointed
wedding feast claimed for an hour or more
their attention. At the close of the supper,
the toast offered by Mr.. w. A. Clark, who
hoped that "the bride has secured a Rea of
joy to accompany her through life, was heart
lily seconde by the entire company. From
