Those who subscribed to the com press capital stock are waiting to hear from the gentlemen who came to so licit 1t. We are given to understand that a question of who shall own the controlling interest ill the enterprise has perhaps killed it. It is our opinion that unless the business of the con- cern could be controlled by local in- vestors 1t would not prove satisfac- tory. We hope the matter will he have the plant i'll time for next sea sons crop.
 John V. Dory. of Warsaw. Ill. was troubled with rheumatism and tried a number of different remedies, but says none Of them seemed to do him any good; but finally he got hold of one that speedily cured him. He was much pleased with iti and felt sure that others similarly afiiict- ed would like to know what the remedy was that cured him. He states for the beneht of the public that it is called Chamberla!n's Pain Balm. It is for sale here at 80 cents per bottle at our drug gists, H. Evans & Co.'S
 George ". Cook sold his entire crop of hiit ttCtldiiC iHtfllbNtt sA1ttii AtA ltllt to H. E. Gwynn 7 Co. at ten cents per pound. Thsy in turn sold it at from eleven to thirteen cents. MT Cook has an abundance of the seed of this excellent variety, which he will sell at seventy-iiye cents per bushel, and, judging from the price it brings on the market. 1t Is superior to any other cotton grown. He also has the African T .l.s price. Give him a call.

 A S20, ,oo0 courthouse and jail is in contemplation. !. N. Cotton has been appointed d commissioner to purchase suitable site. The funds that are available for this purpose, together with the moneys that Will accumulate before the buildings are completed, Niil about pay for them aud certain of our citizens have agreed to carry scrip at par as au ind1cement in tbls dhection. There are Il few kickers-- there always are; but We believe the great majority of the people favor the new courthouse. The county can sell the old courthouse property any day for at least as much as it cost, and per haps at profit. 1t seems to us that every thing is favorable to the enter prise except the aforesaid FEW kick ers), The question of location is an important one, and every man has his preference. Some think 1t should be kuilt in the neighborhood of Stones stable, others that 1t would loom up handsomely further north; the loea- ton east of THE TINES office (the Me Daniel place) has d good many friends; the beautiful location east ot r. n. Boyle's residence, or the Russell prop erty, is in high faver. The county judge, perhaps, favors the lirst-men- toned site. IuE TIMES favors the Mcdaniel property first, aS the most convenient and beautifully located, and the Russell site second as being the most prominent and almost as convenient. Few men can lay aside selfish motives in matters of this kind, but i'll this case--all personal interest aside--TuE TIMES believes a majority of the people prefer one of these two available sites. The principal matter, however, is getting the courthouse. Let no one discourage 1t because of its location. We shall be satisfied, If it is built in Cushaw. The house is what we want-that we can point to it with pride.
