Some Gnnd ADVICE.

Don't believe all that you read. Be
cause you ''saw it ia the paper' is no
evidence of veracity. Truth pays better
than falsehoOd, and is just as cheap. If
you ever find out that l have ever mis-
represented one iota, wifi give you the
best in my store as a gift. When / state
that my stock of Gents, Youths and
Boys Clothing is unique and special, /
speak solid facts. When say that my
goods are made to order from materials
selected BIZ myself, MEAN IT. When 1
say that / will guarantee as neat fit as
you can get in any tailor shop, Pill DO
1T. Furthermore, if a suit does not fit
you exactly, I'll make il fit you at Dly e1-
DeaSe. When l tell YOU that my assert
ment Of styles and patterns is very large
and superb, l am willing to leave it to
you. When / emphatically protest
against your paying as much or more for
inferior or poorly made up goods than will
charge you for mine, do it in the interest
Of my patrons. 1j9' Broughton street,

Aspirants Not Yet in the Field.
Several candidates for the nomination
for Congressman from this district have
already been announced. The most promi-
nent so far are Hon. NJ. /. MershOn, Of
Glynn, and Capt. :. d. Bradwen, Of
Liberty. Chatham is said to have several
aspirants. but as yet they have not been
prominently mentioned. There are several
Of her citizens whom, il they would con-
sent to enter the race, would doubtless re-
ceiye a hearty support from the other
counties, but il is not known that either
Of those gentlemen will consent TO the use
of their names.
Hon. John c. Nichols, our present
Representative, passed through this city
yesterday en- route to Washington. Mr..
Nichols said that while he was not
candidate for the nomination in the usual
sense Of the term, still, if the convention
sees proper to honor him with a renOmI-
nation, he viii accept. OF course this
means that Mr.. Nichols is i'm the field his
strong friends in the district propose to
stand by him as they have done in the
DreViOug conventions.

Savannah and Augusta Trade.

say dHAAaU augusta
The MORNING News some time ago
mentioned a new boat contemplated for
the Augusta and Savannah river trade.
The place Of building was not then deter
mined. To arrange this matter Capt.
W. t. Gibson, manager Of the steamer
Mary Fisher, went North and West
about one month ago and found that
he could get the machinery at Jefer-
sonville. Ind, cheaper than anywhere
else; in fact, much cheaper than he
anticipated. 1t has been decided 10
build the vessel here, all the material other
than the machinery being obtained
cheaper than at any other point. The
work viii be started shortly, Mr.. John
Westerman of this city having been
awarded the contract for the hull and
CABIN work. and Messrs. NJ. A. Sweeny &
Bro, of Jacksonville. Indiana. the ma
/ chinery. The boat viii be built under the
supervision of Capt. Gibson. and fully up
to his idea of the needs of the river
trade, he being thoroughly convers-
ant with the route from here 10 Augusta.

size of the steamer Katie, and of the fol-
| lowing dimensions: 125 feet long, 40 feet

established for the last one hundred years
under supervision and control of the
government, and the drawing to which
tu-daY's advertisement calls the reader
attention, IS the 2S6th since it was first
