Amt She a Darling?

We desire to make change in
our business, aud to do this we
must rid ourselves of our present
stock of new and well-selectad
Dry Goods, Notions, Clothing,
Boots and Shoes, Hats, etc. The
low price Of cotton viii prevent us
from doing this unless we offer
the trading public great induce
ments, WHICH we are determined
to do. We will sell for The next
sixty days our entire stock at
greatly reduced prices. We mean
what we say, and would be glad to
Show and price our goods. All in

Oxford Still Ahead .

Last week we reported that
Judge j. w. Sears had made 1876
bushels of potatoes on one-fourth
of an acre Of land, beating Capt.
w. b. Oxford 10 bushels. Itnow
appears that this was 50 reported
to US for the purpose Of getting
up a joke on Capt. Oxford, using
the JOURNAL us an innocent party.
Where the fun came in We have
failed to see, and have concluded
that it was a most ignominious
failure. Capt. Oxford, having
made 107 bushels on the amount
of land specified above, is still en-
titled to the blue ribbon.

A Clear Head and a Stropr Heart

IL you muddIe your brains with
any of the whiskey compounds
which are sold under the name Of
"bitters," and which topers delight
in for stimulants, you do your sys-
tenn irreparable mischief.
Browns Iron Bitters is not one of
these. 1t promotes healthy action
of the heart, liver and stomach.
1t cleanses and enrlches the blood,
and fits the brain for the best
mental work. The best physi-
clans prescribe it. AMI it is well
worthy Of trial by all.

Killed by the Train.

Atthe depot last Saturday night,
about eleven o'clock, Aleck Shiy-
ers, negro about Is years of age,
fell while attempting to cross the
railroad track ahead of the engine
of the down train and had both
legs horribly mangled below the
knees. Several other negroes
were present at the time, but in
stead of taking the unfortunate
boy to some Of their homes and
caring for him, they placed him
upon the depot platform in the
mud, rain and cold and left him
there exposed the entire night
without covering or the least at
tention whatever. Sunday morn
ing DR.. w. G. Kendrick had
Shivers removed to an old house
ur town anG that evening, assist
ed by Drs. G. A Cheatham G. w.
Farrar and w. B. Cheatham, am
putated both legs. The exposure
Of Saturday night, the loss of
blood and the strain on his sys-
tenn was more than he could stand,
and about q o'clock Monday even
ing the negro died. The manner
in which the negroes treated their
unfortunate brother and fellow
being, the night Of the accident,
shcws plainly the depravity of
that race and the fact that they
have not as much sympathy for
one another as a savage.

A Fine Instrument.

Messrs. Gene and Dan Crouch
