Harry @. Parker. the well-known aud
popular harness maker at No. Is East
Third street, has just completed set OF
double harness for Joseph Stoeckle that
is fully equal If no, superior to anything
of the kind that has ever been made In
this city. The material is the very best
that can be obtained and the work is Of the
finest description. 1t is rubber mounted
throughout and has the celebrated Kay
collars. The cost is but 500, and con-
sl1ering the work AMI material this seems
very reasonable. Mr. Parker Is also
making a splendid set OF silver mounted
harness for J. Dundas Lipplncott, OF
Philadelphia, and the fact that he has re-
ceived an order from that city is one of
the best tributes to bis skill and superior
workman ship that can be conceived.
This set will cost SlS0.

In Mentioning the race between
Griggs AID Doughtle, in our last
issue, we made the statement that
Mr., Doughtie had been training"
ct Cumberland, and was "sent for
BY some Macon d:ummers."
We have since found out that it
was in part a mistake, and desire. in
justice TO the gentleman, to put the
matter as it is.
In using the word training, we
did not mean to inter that he
had gone TO Cumberland for the
express purpose of getting himself
in shape to run, or that he had de-
voted his time to that end blu SIM
| ply that he had been taking exer-
else on the beach by running, int
as far as we know with DO parties
ular object in view other than
benefting his health. We simply
meant that hewas by reason of
this exercise in good trim, whereas
Griggs was not.
We hav4 also learned that he
was not sent for; that the race
was not mentioned until after his
arrival and was purely the result
of a casual remark made by him.
Some of Mr.. Douehtie's friends
have chosen to take oHense at what
we said, and do not care to have
/ the impression made that he is a
/ professional runner. The gentle
man, we believe. is we'll known
throughout the state, and we are
sure no one could SO miscorstrue
what we said.
We stated what we did in JUS
tice to Mr.. Griggs. We make this
correction in justice to Mr.. Dough-
tie, but we are still unchanged in
the opinion that Griggs is the
fastest runner.

We publish this morning the

The showing of the bank e icits
thewarmestappreci ltion of the stock
holders, as It's operations for the
past six months have been of the
most satisfactory character.
The statement shows a surplus, or
net earning, of s13, 026,29, which
strengthens the security deposi>
tors and patrons have always felt
IN keeping their accounts with
it.
While the prime Object has been
to subserve the stockholders, vet
one OF the chief considerations of
the officers Of the bank has been
to so administer the affairs of the
bank as to build up Dawson's
commercial interests and to foster
every enterprise and interest of
this section
Many who were once compelled
to carry their business and cotton
to other citiea from an inability
to secure accommodations here are
now doing business in Dawson,
and hereafter the city's trade will
be greatly increased througbt the
accommodations which the bank
will extend.
