We Have Gothic Pull!
How and Why We Draw the Trade.

By the tremendous power of low prices we are satisfying
customers every day with the quality of the goods which We
sell at low prices. There is nothing in a low price unless the
quality is back of it, remember. You must understand the quail
ty of our goods before you can understand our prices. We want
to examine our new stock on its merits as a collec
ton of strictly frst-class goods. You will find them honest,
mean something, in Dress Goods, Trimmings, Fancy Goods, No
tons, Laces, Edgings, Table Damask, Napkins, Marsenles Quilts,
satteens, shoutous, Penangs, Percales, Zephyr and Domestic
Glnghams, Lace Curtains, Portieres, Curtain Poles, Ingram and
Brussels Carpets, Oil Cloths, Mems, Boys, Youths and Child's
Clothing. Good stock and at prices to suit Hats, a nobby line;
Gloves, can't be beat; Shoes of best manufactures and at prices
not to De dupllcated; Groceries, well they are too cheap to men
ton. Bring III a box of eggs and take back a barrel of sugar,
sack oil coffee and two barrels of salt, and sell us a few pounds
of butter and take back a dress for the old woman and the thir-
teen Kids and a suit of clothes for the old man and the three
boys. No trouble to show goods. Yours, anxious to please,

We are manufacturers, and have no agents.
For twenty years have dealt with the con

pay freight charges both ways. if not sat

years. Anyone who can write can order
buggy or harness from us as well as pay
from $40 to $50 for some middle man to
order it for them. We give no credit, and
have one price only. Why do you pay
two profits on your carriages and harness?
Why do you pay some one $40 to $50 for
ordering these things, when you can do it
and save this money? You run no risk.
We let you see the goods before you ac-

Twenty-One Years Agh.

Jamestown Alert: The 18th day OF
May, 1872, is in one respect Jamestown's
natal day, as at that time the first general
store was opened and business established
It was twenty-one years ago to-day, the
Alert learns, that Robert Macnider, OF
Brainard, now of Bismarck, rolled into the
valley of the Jamses, with ten OK teams
and wagons, freighted with merchandise
and opened up the first store in what is
now the live and bustling city of James
town. His destination at the time was
Edwinton now Bismarck, the Northern
Pacific crossing of the Missouri river, but
upon reaching the James river, and meet
ing with a railroad surveying party, under
charge of General Rosser, camped on Pipe
stem creek, under the protection of the
guns of a COMPANY Of United States troops
which had but a few days previous moved
from Fort Ransom to the height of ground
Just north of the present townsite and
known as Fort Seward, Macnider concluded
to remain, unload his goods, open up a
store, and start in business.
He did SO, although at the time, as he
says, there was but one citizen resident in
the whole valley, and that was Andrew
Kelley, who had moved in from Fort Tot

one Of the city's most worthy citizens
But things changed quickly, and the peace

FAIRLY ANSWERED.
Commissioner Nesbit Replies to Re-
peated Inquiry.


Atlanta, Ca, Aug. r12.-Commissione1
Nesbit, of the State Agricultural Depart
ment, has prepared an answer to The ques-
ton frequently put to him: "What bene-
fit is the department of agriculture ?"
In this statement which is made to
satisfy whatever opposition may now
exist against the department, Commits
sioner Nesbit says: In regard to the
support of the department, in direct taxa
tion it costs nothing, and of the funds
collected under its supervision a surplus
above the entire expenditure goes an
nuallY to maintain the common schools Of
the state.
No system of taxation, however, can be
justified unless the people receive the
benefit
The inspection laws,-"The inspection
laws of Georgia, both of fertilizers and of
oils, afford as complete protection as the
power conferred admits, and in the case
of fertilizers, as perfect as can be afford
ed with just immunity on the part of
manufacturers from great burdens
AS to the wisdom of such protection we
hardly expect to be questioned. 1t would
be difficult to maintain at this time that
the farmers ought to be exposed to the
liability of purchasing spurious fer
tilizers, goods which are chem
ical in their character and of
the value of which no conception can be
formed without an analysis This analysis,
if made individually, would cost from $40
to S25, whereas, as made under the direc-
tion of the department, it can only cost
l cent a sack That it costs nothing, and
that in the sharp competition Of trade
this cent is not considered, is illustrated
by the fact that the farmers of Georgia
purchase their goods as cheap as any in
the union. In regard to oil, in the admin
istration of the law by placing the de-
partment in charge, the state has acquired
an annual revenue of from $4,000 to
$4,000,
PERIL FROM IMPURE OILS.
Life and property ought not to be ex-
posed to the dangers arising from impure
oils and we apprehend that no reason
will be presented why such inspection
should not be made. There, the inspec-
ton of oil and the inspection of fertilizer
are the two special matters in charge of
the department. If in their administras
tion the official in charge is derelict in
his duty, the charge should be there, and
not the abrogation of the department. II
| the law is insufficient, the charge should
| be in remedial legislation end not in abol-
ishing the department. Other matters
| considered, there are many other things
relating to the general agriculture of the
state, publication excepted, which we be-
| lieve are of value in upbuilding our agri-
culture, and in regard to which the pow
ers of the department ought to be in
creased instead of diminished. A cohsid-
GRAFTON of all these values is beyond the
limits of this answer. In conclusion
would say that 1 hope to see the day
when the administration of this depart
ment may be aided by every farmer, and
when a helping hand is given to make it
of the greatest possible benefit.
