FACTS AND FIGURES.

tits fact that T. L. Hunt & Co. sell
groceries at lower figures than they can be
bought anywhere else. Last years trade
with them was such an advance on the
trade of the year before, that they have
determined to make this years even better
and in order to do so have determined to
sell their goods at the least possible margin
of profit and make the 'nimble penny stir
itself for their profits, will be so close that
If they do not emulate the early bird they
will fall behind. Now as to enumerate the
various articles and their prices would be to
occupy more space than they are allowed
(for the money! and we will only say that
their stock of Sugars, Coffee, Rice. Syrup,
Flour, meal, meat, Lard &c, has been
bou ght at Rock Bottom and you can rely on
it that they cannot be undersold and If If
teen years in the grocery trade is worth
anything in making up a knowledge of
quality and what the people want Law
renee Hunt ought to know and that will
account for the fact that their goods always
gives satisfaction If you want a set Of
Crockery, glassware, knives and forks a
well bucket, broom, sitter or a pOcketknite
you can find it, canned fruits, vegetables,
meats, oysters or fresh fish, pickles, sauces,
catsups, jellies provisions, &c.
p. 5.
If you buy four packages of the Sunfower
brand of roasted coffee, you will get a hand
some glass set worth seventy five cent. AS
these sets are only given with the first one
hundred pounds of the coffee they will be
exhausted call soon.
Yours gratefully,

went to bed remained over week, eating
her meals in bed, with no one IN the house,
except her brother of ten years who cooked
for her father and herself her mother being
in Atlanta On Wednesday of last week
she lett her bed, and upon being asked by
her suspicious neighbors, confessed that she
had murdered her child by choking it. She
then turned the bed cover and exposed to
view the dead body which she had laid be-
side for eight days in order to conceal her
crime. Her neighbors were Mortified and
called her father. He came and said he
would go for the doctor. The murderess

AT LAST

The painters are through with the int.
ror of our store, and we now have one of
the handsomest store houses in town.
Come around and see it. You needn't buy
anything unless you wish to, but you will
be pretty sure TO find something in our
goods or prices to make you u customer
We gave last week listin part of what we
had to SELL but we prefer you to look for
yourselves. We are going to keep every
thing in the grocery line for which there is
any demand or we should say that we are
going to procure everything. We shall sell
SO low that we hope we wont keep anything
very long at time.
Despite the bad weather, we have made
a first rate beginning for which we return
thanks. Our trade has been very good and
we believe that it is going to stay good and
keep growing better, ifhonest effort is worth
anything.
We wish to call the attention of House
keepera to the fact that we have made ar
rangements by which we can secure almost
daily some of the best Butter made in Cobb
county Already our sales of this article OF
prime necessity, but of too difficult pro
curement, have been quite large, but we
wish TO buy and sell many times as much
as we do now,
To those who wish a little variety from
the "hog and hominy" or beef and bis
cult" of the winter season, we offer
some home grown Irish potatoes that are
fine and very cheap, choice Northern Cab
bages, Turnips, Sweet Potatoes, &c. But
come and see for yourselves,

What feeling can be more degrading
than a lack of independence? To know
that by some hook or crook, or under the
clasp of some obligation, or from a feeling
of continued dread or fear OF the persons
themselves OF their i'll will, one is deprived
of his privilege Of expression and might say
thought. Can you imagine any condition
more horrible? independence is the plat
form of American rights, and if any person
should quietly and peaceably surrender his
liberty OF speech unuer inc pIOteCllOH vi our
laws, you would certainly think they had
deserved their DOOM
There is quite crowd of tramps Turk;
ing around the city, They are able bodied
men and hard looking characters, and
