The LEADING HARDWARE HOUS|
A SPLENDID TRADE BUILT UP IN
FEW YEARS.

1t is almost astonishing to note thj
magnitude of the business built al
by the Southern Hardware Compm}
in the brief time that it has bee}
numbered among the commercial en-
terprises of our State.
Only a few years ago its door
were thrown open to the business
world and the patronage of the publ
lie solicited. 1t promised as an in|
ducement to secure trade that il
inaugurate a reduction in the pric(
of goods in the hardware line. III
utterances we're SO imbued witt
earnestness that the people believed
and gave the new claimant a trial
1t was soon discovered that respon|
sib!e men We're in charge Of the man
agement, and that they meant what
they said. This news soon became
circulated, as good reports always do
and ere long it was discovered thai
the new rival was becoming quite
formidable and continued to grow ID
strength until to-day, when the SouI
thern Hardware Company has th(
largest trade Of it's kind in NORTH
Louisiana. 1t has the confidence oI
the people, is giving them goods Al
reasonable rates, cheaper than any
other house in the country and tha
too for frst-class goods. This house
is unqestionably the one to trade
with and we would advise all wbd
need hardware of any kind or dssI
cription to buy it at the
Southern Hardware Compsny's.

Bird Seldom Seen in This Section.
Milledgeville, Ga, Nov. 12-Dr G. G.
Crawford, who lives ten miles below this
city, while hunting in the swamp about
his pond yesterday morning a little after
daylight, shot and killed a swan which
measur ed feet from the tip of one wing
to the other. The bird was as white as
snow, and it was matter for regret thai
it could not be captured without killing
AS it came through the canebreak, shak-
ing the dews of early morning from It's
wings. tue noise made was almost equal
to the stampede of a drove of oxen. DR.
Crawford was little frightened at first,
but in less than minute he saw il light
in the water about 70 yards away. He
fired both barrels of his gun, but the bird
few furthe up the pond. 1t was badly
wounded Ivy the first shots, and Dr.
Crawford h ad very little trouble in get
ting in rang of it the second time He
fired both b,lrrels and the bird fell over
in the water dead.
Isaac New I'll, of this city, killed n swan
near Albany last year, and with that ex-
ception, DR.. Crawford's luck is a very
uncommon oc currencc in Georgia.

ODD ca. USE OF A FIRE.
The SUMS Rays, Shining Through a
Water Bottle, Ignite Macintosh.

From the London Telegraph
Proof of the ut usual heat of the suns
says in the month of October is given by
a discovery made. by Inspector Moran, of
the S division of the metropolitan police,
which SATISFACTORY ly discloses the cause
of a mysterious fire in the Tre-wint In

Two or three days so a bed in one of the
rooms on the secOnG floor was discovered
alight, and extingui, he'd with some diff
Guilty. The origin OF the fire was a mys-
terry, and in the e5 ening the police and
the fire-brigade ottici ais were consulted,
the former because II was feared to be
the work of an incendiary.
No satisfactory result was obtained al
the time as the outcome of the investi-
cations, but Inspector Moran, one Of the
officers engaged in the inq uiry, was seized
with a happy thought while afterward
bordering over the occlf rrence. Through
out the whole of Thur Bday the sun has
been shining very brig lily at Hampstead,
and he had ascertained that in the morn
ing full water bottle had been standing
in the room between the open window and
a macintosh on the wal. The idea Oc-
