OF COURSE

We try to keep everything in the grocery
line tor which there is ANY demand, but we
desire to call special attention to few of
the things we have in stock this week.
We wish first to emphasize the fact that
you can always find good butter at our
store. Good butter is harder to get than it
ought to be, but we have made arrange
ments with several notable butter makers
by which we get their entire produce.
Our Georgia Syrup has been tried by a
great many who pronounce it very fine
but II New Orleans is more to your taste
we have some that is very choice. Man is
in part herblVop0us, ana realizing this, we
offer some choice home grown Irish Pota'
toes for eating. They are selling like hot
cakes and are hard to get so come early if
you want any. Ifyou wish seed potatoes
you can find with us all the leading sorts.
In addition to the aboYe, we have some
very fine sweet potatoes turnips, heans
onions aud cabbage
Our Big Hominy and Tennessee Sausages
have smoked on many d breakfast board,
and we now have regular run on those
two articles. Try them.
. But these are only incidentals to the gro
Gerry trade. We have fresh and carefully
selected stock Of c groceries, Qt all SORTS and
we otter then. at prices that we believe ace
as low as the same grade of goods axe sold
for anywhere. Try our prices and our
goods and il you fi0d that this is not the
case, the misfortune VIII be ours.
Unless we merit patronage we d0nt OK
p2ct 10 set if and as We nave already OBJ
'ained very fair share we are constrained
to believe that our methods of doing bust
ness are acceptable to the public.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

1t is 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
(f0r the money! and we will only say that
their stock of Sugars, Coffee, Rice, Syrup,
Flour, meal, meat, Lard &c, has been
bou hit at Rock Bottom and you can rely on
it that they cannot be undersold and if tif-
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 al ways
gives satisfaction. If you want set of
Crockery, glassware, knives and forks-a
well bucket, broom, sitter or a pocketknife
you can find it, canned fruits, vegetables,
meats, oysters or fresh fish, pickles, sauces,
catsups, jellies provisions, &c.
p. ).
If you buy four packages of the SunGower
brand OF roasted coffee, you will get 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 soon.
Yours gratefully.

The Contrary Mule.

THE pure cussedness of the average

dozen or more of large, noble specimens of
these animals which, it is said God never

to get these mules headed towards Atlanta

obstinate the mules seemed until rollick-

Railroad Accommodation Trains, So
Called.


There are railroad trains that may be
properly designated as accommodation
trains while there are Others that cannot be
called accommodation trains.
The train on the Georgia Road from
Covington to Atlanta is an accommodation
train in fact, but the train on the Western
and Atlantic Road though called an ac'
commOdation train, is one only in name
The former not only takes passenger up
and puts him down wherever he desires,
but it allows him to lake along a basket OF
eggs, or fruit to market, and to brIDg BACK
a sack of flour or coffee. or bucket OF su
gar or package of dry goods, free OF charge
The latter on the contrary now compels
passengers to turn over all such articles TO
the express company, or to pay the conduc-
tor for their transportation. Even ladies'
travelling alone are required TO conform to
the new rule, of which no previous notice
was given through the press.
The further enforcement of this unwise
regulation will force passengers from the
country either to discontinue their shopping
expeditions to Atlanta, or to take along
their trunks and valses in which 10 pack
and brink back their purchases In the
latter event, the railroad agents will be put
to the extra trouble of checking and putting
this baggage on the trains, both going and
coming, and to hold the road responsible for
the safe carriage and delivery OF the same
Passeng gers on this so called accommodation
have heretofore paid full fares, though not
one in ten even carried piece of baggage
Passengers however are allowed one hun
bred pounds of baggage each, we believe.
1t is for the railroad officers to decide, there
fore. whether they will undertake to handle
such baggage as passengers desire to take
along, and have a right to take, or whether
they viii permit them to carry as hitherto
such packages as they are allowed to carry
on real accommodation trains, and which
do not inconvenience other passengers or
the servants of the road.
