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
(for the money! and we will only say that
their stock of Sugars, Coffee, Rice Syrup,
Flour, meal, meat Lard &c, has been
bought at Rock Bottom and you can rely on
it that they cannot be undersold and if fif-
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 -
well bucket, broom, sitter, or pOcketknife
you can find it, canned fruits vegetables,
meats, oysters or fresh fish, pickles, sauces,
catsups, jelles, provisions, &c.

If you buy four packages of the Sunfower
brand of roasted coffee, you will get hand

these sets are only given with the first one

What Country Papers Do.

An exchange combats with considerable
vigor the argument that the city papers are
cheaper and better than the country papers
because they give more columns and read
ing matter for the money. Do the city pa
pers, it asks, ever give you any home news2
Never. Do they say anything about your
county Nothing. Do they contain any
notices of your schools, churches, meetings,
improvements, and hundreds of other local
matters of interest which your paper pub
fishes without payH Not an item. Do
they ever say good word calculated to
draw attention to your county and its num-
erous thriving towns, and aid in their pro
gress and enterpriseH Not a word. And
yet there are so many men who take such
contracted views of this matter that unless
they get so many square inches of reading
matter in their own papers as they do in the
city papers, they think they are not getting
the worth of Their money. 1t reminds us of
a person who took the largest pair of shoes
in the box because they cost the same as the
pair much smaller that fitted him.-EG-
change.
We have been frequently asked, why
is it you cannot furnish the JOURNAL as
cheaply as the Atlanta Weekly Constitu
tion?' Simply for the reason that the
Constitution is published in a city of about
fifty thousand population and publishes
daily at ten dollars year, and out of this
daily it takes enough reading matter, with
out additional cost, and prints its weekly
for which it receives one dollar, making
eleven dollars a year the Constitution re-
ceives, while we have no daily, and receive
only one dollar and fifty cents for our paper.
The Constitution has not only its own
county to circulate in, but every county in
the State of Georgia and all OF the adjoining
States, while the JOURNAL is confined
to one county-that of Cobb, with limited
circulation in the adjoining counties. A
country paper thus situated, cannot be sus
tanned at a cheaper price than we charge
The Constitution is a splendid paper and
we have nothing to say against it, but when
a citizen stops his county paper to take the
Constitution. he virtually says, by his
action that as far as he is concerned he
doesn't care whether there is a paper
published in his county or not and that he
is willing to build up monopoly in
distant town, to the crushing cut of home
enterprise. And fall of our subscribers
should initiate such niggardly example
they would bring about just such result.
But fortunately we have large list of
appreciative subscribers, who by their
actions say they want their county paper.
