must say that you made very inter.

further fact. In the voting contest
no emplyee in the store-driver, clerk
or proprietor-will be allowed to give
any information or suggestion as to
what church to vote for. We may
suggest to our customers that they
vote, so as to start the habit for
them and keep them coming our way,
but never a word as to preference.

And | dom mind If you call the
attention of the public to this fact.
No one will get any more goods by not
voting, or any less goods if voting.
No one will benefit himself or herself
by voting or by not voting. 1t will be
purely an unselfish contest. You
simply buy the goods, cash or on
credit, and when they are paid fol-.
for each dollar s worth you get vote.
and the church receiving the greatest
number of votes will also receive one
hundred dollars in gold.

THE SAD DROWNING

Nashville. Tenn, Aug. 3O.-Edward
G. Stahlman, news editor Of the Nash
vile Banner, was drowned 10 the Cum
beTland river Monday afternoon, be-
tween and O'Clock Mr. StahIman
End several other river men had gone
10 the river in launch, and while in
swimming a few hundred yards below
Williams Ferry, nine miles up the
river, be suddenly SANK. His body
never resppeared on thrsurface of the
water after going down for the first
time. Mr.. Stahlman was one Of the
most popular newspaper men in Nash
willie, and the Dews OF his untimely
death, as it spread throughout the city,
caused the keenesr sorrow. As soon
as the news was received parties were
organized to go to the scene to make
efforts TO recover the body, but up to a
late hour of the night the work of the
searchers had been Unsuccessful.

Big DEAL
IN WHEAT.
Sam Nichols, of Carriers Creek, Sells
10000 Bushels at $1.26 Per
Bushel, Delivered.

Sam Nichols. of CaTter's Creek. has
made big deal in which he has sold
bushels of wheat at the price OF
81. 26 per bushel, delivered, which nets
him. after paying freight to Column
bus, about 81, II. Mr.. Nichols bought
this wheat fol- speculation and
paid from 80 cents to $1.00 per
bushel fol- it.
Mr.. Nichols, who is also largely
engaged in the poultry business, hav-
ing house here, one at Carter s Creek
and one at LynnviIle, has sold out the
business at Lynnville to Gilbert & Rich
ardson, who will continue 1T at
the same place. Mr.. Nichols will leave
soon on an extended tour through the
West for the bengtit of his health.

credit-amountiug to one dollar, the
purchaser will be entitled to one vote;
and to the church 10 this town or coun.
ty re;elvlng the IN )st votes, Mr.. Nichol
will give one hundred dollars in gold.
The contest will begin the first day OF
September, and close the last day of
December.
Goods purchased on monthly accounts
must be paid for on or before the 10Th
day of the succeeding month, or that
months account will be Barred from the
voting contest.
This is liberal and novel idea Mr..
Nichols has hit upon. 1t is mark of
his progressiveness and liberality. 1t
is so plain that anyone can understand
it, and it takes in not only all the
churches, but all the people. For
church member or no church member,
there ia hardly an adult person in CO.
lumbia who hasn't some church prefer,
ence. So any one and every one can
get the freshest groceries, the best grp-
ceries, and as cheap groceries and a vote
for their favorite church and the 800
at Mr. Nichols new grocery.
Won't there be something doingS
about Christmas time. But
you don't want the other church to get
too great lead at the start; you
might not be able to catch up with ever
80 much buying at Christmas time.
The early start and the steady buyer
will most likely win.
But whether any body buys and votes
pr not, Mr.. Nichols will give the money
away. and some church will have one
hundred dollars IN gold for it's poor, or
ts parsonage, or its Sunday school
Dom, or to do as it pleases with.

That is where Geo, w. Nichols is open

ter myself that my old friends will give
me complimentary call when | open

fix prices as the market and occasion
may require; but as to QUALITY,
there's where | am gong to make my

But that is not the story the Herald
started out to tell. Mr.. Nichols is a
broad-guage man. He never does
things by halves If he is in the potato
business, he buys them all If he is in
the grocery business, he keeps the
best. And when he gives, he gives
something worth having ae offers
worth receiving.
The day before his doors open-the
