came very near being destroyed
the past week. 1t was on fire
but fortunately the flames were
discovered in time to save the
building.
THE DISPATCH has been com
plimented with an invitation to
the marriage of Miss Mary With
erspoon Blewett to MIR. Clifton
Fl. Ottley, which happy event will
be celebrated in this city at the
home of Gen. Stephen D. Lee on
Wednesday afternoon, Novem-
Der the 9th at three o'clock A
large circle of friends anticipate
this happy event and extend con-
CALCULATIONS.
All arrangements for the free
rural survice which is soon to be
inaugurateG in the Hudson, Ala,
section are progressing favorably
and the route will go into effect
at an early date. The patrons of
the route have ordered boxes
preparatory for the same. 1t
will be a great and lasting con
venience to this section and will
be a vast improvement over its
present mail facilitates.
Mr.. J. O. Due, an old Pickens
county boy who was for years
located in this city clerking, has
been in Columbus the past week
on a visit to old friends. Mr..
Due is now conducting a mission

all of his friends here are glad to

The people of the Eastern sec
ton of the county will soon petit
ton the Board of Supervisors to
change the voting place of that
section from Lebanon to Mt.
Vernon. The latter place is the
scene of all of the gatherings and
Entertainments for that neigh
borhood now and the Lebanon
school house is almost down
from dilapidation and neglect.
The change will meet with the
approval of the people generally
and, doubtless, it will be made.
It's the old, old story. Miss
Maude J. Wick and Mr.. Walter
E. Gardner, of Fayette, loved
wisely, but not we'll from the
standpoint of their parents, and
hence the opposition to their
union brought them to this city
last Friday morning on the west
bound Southern train. They
applied to Circuit Clerk Gunter
who promptly issued the neces-
sary papers and then Judge Bey-
erly Matthews was applied to to
do the honors. The Judge car
ries his marriage form with him
and reaching into the interior of
his clothing, brought forth a
well-worn looking document from
which he proceeded to read :
We are gathered together, etc,
ia his most religious and clerical
voice. The knot was soon tied
and they went on their way re-
joicing. Business pretty good, F"
said Clerk Gunter, as he folded
away the three dollars and re-
moved them from circulation.

During the past few days
number OF copies of the New
York Tribune have been distrib-
uted in the resident portion of
the city The Tribune is a Re
publican paper which is very
bitter in its hatred towards the
South, and the papers were
doubtless, distributed here in the
interest ofRoosevelt's candidacy.
Whoever caused them to be
circulated here was merely vast
ing his time, for the predilec-
tons of the Tribune are too well
known for 1T to ever have any in
fuence in Columbus or any
where else in the South.

A Few Words OF Wisdom from a
Reliable Merchant.

The. year 1898 has just closed. Now dawns the
future 1904, in which we wish happiness and pros
perity to all.
The coming year we expect to improve some in our
business methods, mot that we have been carele S in
the past) but times are changing; we are living III a
land of progression; business is being done differently
people are awakening to the fact that hustle, thrift
and energy surely takes the lead-the drone will be
found where he always has been--tryipg to live off
the. laurels Of others--hence a few suggestions we
hereby append:
A good customer is loved, honored and cherished
by all merchants. One of impudence, sauciness, i'll
b eeding, their room Git makes no difference in shat
store would be hailed with delight, in preference-to
their presence, if they do have a few dollars OCCASION
ally to spend-suchi is a genuine fact-ask the, mer-
chants if this is not SO.
To those who have the cash to send away for their
goods, wares and merchandise, i'll return for same re-
ceive all kinds of trash, and not what they expected
to get, do not. then take this city refuse to your home
merchants and ask them to exchange for Their staple
goods, that, they paid their honest money. for, For
one I'VE shall not do it. If 0 r goods are not good
en- ugh for their city trash. Goods purchased Of us,
we are always willing to exchange, or redeem in cash,
that is, give them their money back. That's the true
sentiment of any reliable business house.
Now to those. who hav been dealing }nh US in the past, W e thank you
assured nothing win be left undone to see, that you are Wen treated and
you receive what you want. and Al qualities at that if not SO we ask a
return or tn goods and your money refunded Nothing faher ANY other
We do not ask all the trade Of any man. family or. company, simply
what portion you choose to give u.s. for we believe in the motto Of Live
and let live" for there are others on this earth besides us who are entitled
a living and should have it, thus sustaining the love and friendship of
ALL
In conclusion we extend a kindly greeting to ALL and trust that this year
we all have experienced for some time We now remain silent for a short
time; then expect to be heard Q lines Of business Thanking you again, we
bid you adieu
