Merchants Yal<e Up.

The merchants Of Dawson have
it in their power, by a liberal and
persistent spirit of advertising to
induce thousands OF dollars of
trade this season that otherwise
viii go somewhere else. The
merchants of Cuthbert, Americus,
Albany and other towns in
this section are doing
their very best in the
way Of advertising to draw all the
trade possible; and draw it they
viii unless our merchants wake
up and go to work 1t stands our
merchants in hand this season to
avail themselves OF every possible
agency to induce cotton and trade
to come to Dawson. To say that
advertising don't pay is a great
piece OF folly The truth is no
merchant can afford to risk the
sale OF a stock Of goods without
advertising, and the more liberal
ly he adyertises the more certain
ly will he sell goods and the more
OF them. Ii our people will all
pull together and work together
for the interest Of the town we
will do well, and not be materially
hurt by the short cotton crop, but
otherwise the trade Of the town
will be short. 1t is our business
to do and say all that we can for

This is one Of the very best and
strongest firms in our city, and as
for enterprise and pluck they can't
be surpassed by any firm Of mer-
chants in the state. Mr.. Jesse
Griffin spent several weeks in the
Northern and Eastern cities this
summer buying fall and winter
goods for this firm, and now, that
Mr. Griffin has returned, their new
goods are pouring in by the dray
load every day. There is no bet
ter buyer in Georgia than Jesse
Griffin, and no one who knows
better what the trade Of this sec
tion requires than he. Mr.. Grif-
fin has given his own personal st-
pervision to the purchase Of every
piece Of goods they have in stock,
and it may be relied upon, there
fore, as being GOOD. No persons
trading at this store need fear be-
ing cheated in the quality Of goods
they buy, for Horsly & Killen
handle nothing but strictly FIRST
CLASS GOODS. They are prepared
to furnish the very latest styles Of
goods in every department OF their
trade, and if you want to see what
the latest styles and cuts are, don't
fail to so to Horsley & Killen's.
Mr.. } 4. Horsley, as well as Mr.
Jesse Griffin, can always be found
at their store, and they never
grow weary IN Waiting upon their
customers. Don't neglect to 60
