A GEORGIA WOMAN GREETED BY

Columbus Ca Enquirer-Sun.
Long before the late war, Gen. Can
ty and wife, of Russell county, Ala
bama, were the possessors OF large
number of slaves, and by their hui
name and kind treatment OF them
won their love and respect. So deep
was their tender feeling and great
,espect rooted in their minds that
when the last of their slaves were set
free, none would leave unless forced
to do so by circumstances unavOlda-
BILE. Employment could not be gwen
all. so the remainder were compelled
to seek other homes. a large part
of these cast their chances tor a live
lihood in Clayton county, where they
have remained to this day. Mrs.
CAVITY, who has cousin living IN
Clayton county, determined to pay
her a visit, which resolution was car
ried into effect last week. Her old
slaves and their children hearing OF
her intended visit, made every prepa,
: ration in their power to give her
royal reception. For several days nc
= work was done save that which was

'e kinds were heaped upon her, and a

f. ger servants, only waiting an intima

'e tvs visit had terminated, and she ha

At last we have the trains; and We congratu.
late ourselves that the FREE TRADERS efforts In
that direction have not been in vain. The pub
lie are accommodated, and all should return
thanks The local trains so long demanded
by the patrons Of the Rock Island road east and
west OF Ottawa have been furnished. More
freights than usual carry passengers, and To-
cal train running between Joliet and La Sale
has been put on, arriving In Ottawa in the morn
ing and going out in the evening, SO that the
people east as well as west can eat breakfast and
tea at home as usual and still do their business
In Ottawa. The new local train will be mixed
train for local train, and have passenger coach
attached, giuing all the comforts and nearly as
fast time as the passenger tralns-certainly fast
enough for all needs on so short run. The
Rock Island managers will, Of course, receive the
thanks OF Ottawa business men, to whom the
benefits OF these local accommodations are Of the
greatest vslue while the business OF this station
must of necessity be improved by the arrange.

Another Week.

The second week Of the great special sale at
H. J. GILLEN's has passed successfully; and an
even greater quantity OF goods has been sold
during the time than last week. The entire force
has been kept busy. The sale has attracted very
wide attention and many new faces have been
seen. The number Of appreciative buyers has
been remarkably large, nearly every one express.
ing decided opinions as to the character OF the
sale and the genuineness of the bargains offered,
which have been highly gratifying to the
manager.
Mr.. Gillen's has long been conceded the largest
general house in this neighborhood; and to-day
the condition OF the stock is far above that ever
before seen here, and more able to offer real bar
gains.
The Dress Goods stock Is particularly sIrong,
containing all desirable dress goods fabrics; and
at the decided reductions noted two weeks ago
offers inducements that cannot be met.
Full lines Of all winter goods at bottom figures.
Low prices on boots and shoes and groceries.
We commend this stock as eminently meriting

| Two weeks ago. in our review OF the weeks
business at the recorders office, the FREE IRA
DER described the railroad scheme known as the
"Chicago, Keokuk & Kansas City Railway CON-
pany," which had filed for record in La Sale
county its articles OF Incorporation. This was
the first mention made Of this project, until last
Saturday, when the Chicago Times published
this:
A very important railroad interest Is to be de-
velOped in the formation o: . new and, 1t 10
claimed, shorter or ''air" line between Chicago
and Kansas City. A new road, which Is entirely
Chicago enterprise, to DO entitled the Chicago,
Keokuk and Kansas City Railroad, is now being
surveyed, and the incorporation articles OF the
company are being entered in all the counties
through which the line will iun. 1t s claimed
by the projectors OF the railroad that the route
will be fully forty Live miles shorter than any line
between Chicago and Kansas City now existing
The protector OF the scheme was G. c. P. Holden,
and now various eastern parties Of wealth, 1t is
said have decided to tack this railroad venture.
The company is incorporated.
The route OF this road Is laid through much
the same territory as that OF the proposed Chica

There are SO many good stoves made that 1t is
not easy to determine which is the best.
The manufacturers Of the Westminster, Messrs.
Rathbone, Sard Il Co.. the largest and oldest
stove manufacturing house In the country, have
a reputation for making the best goods to keep
up, and to those who are familiar with such mat
ters, their reputation is guarantee that no skill,
care or expense has been spared.
With an annual sale Of ten thousand Westmn-
sters not one can be found that has not given
the most perfect satisfaction in all respects. 1t
is no experiment, nor is it likely that wise pur-
chasers will risk their money and comfort in Sc.
Letting SO important an article as n stove which
has yet to prove its good qualities, when the
Westminster has been tested by the severe use of
many winters and is now more popular than ever.
We have large lot Of other base burners,
which we sell at actual cost.

Surprising,

But nevertheless true--the sale OF dolmans and
cloaks unprecedented. Our first, second and
third invoices all swept away as il by magic and
the demand for them has not diminished, but is
on the increase, so much SO That We had to order
in haste. These goods arrive to-day, which
places before our customers an elegant assert
ment and as choice lot to select from rs those
who purchased early in the season. Our object
is to please our trade, and they will not be obig
ed to take any refuse The only drawback and why
merchants have their stock dwindle to nothing
as the season advances is the fear OF having an
over lot remain on hand, which greatly diminish
es the profits OF seasonable sales, and what re-
mains over next season will be out OF style and
unstable. But we are an exception wide
awake and up to all points In matter OF busi-
ness that will prove profitable to us and give our
trade full advantage the whole season long for
choice styles. We have made arrangements di.
rect with the manufacturers to return all unsala-
BILE goods, which gives us an advantage over all
the merchants in the city. We have also as fine
q line Of dress goods as can be found here.
