Macon q Cotton Market.

From the Macon Beacon.
That Macon is the best cotton
market in this section is cviden
ced by the fact that merchants
and planters bring cotton here
FROM competing points and when
ready to sell not only fry the
buyers here but thosein adjacent
towns, which invaribly results
in the Macon buyers having the
best price. An iLsfanc OF this
kind occurred no later than last
week when a hundred bales OF
cotton were put on the market
and buyers from West Point and
Meridian put in bids, but with
the usual result that the Macon
buyer had the best price. W.
do not mean TO claim that the
Macon buyers have better con
uections than buyers at other
points but we do claim that they
nave their business so well sys
tematized that they can handle
cotton at a smaller cost than the
buyers at other places. This
means IA good deal to the se,-
Ter as every item OF expense has
to be deducted before a bid is
submitted.
During the past year Macon
has pnt IN a fine system OF water
works aud consequently a mini
mum insurance rate has been
received BY the installation OF
water main in the cotton yards,
and i'll addition Macon has u
fine volunteer fire department
as can be found anywhere which
will bring The fire loss to a mini
mum. The compress and ware
house facilities arc strictly up
to date. SO ii you ship cotton
here it Is no trouble to have it
handled at a moments notice
and there will be no delay when
you are ready to put your cotton
on the market. The yards also
have ample camping facilities.
Our banks are amply able to
make advances on cotton and
are as liberal as possible. Our
merchants are a set OF hustling,
up to date. straightforward bust
ness who only seek Tor q moderate
profit.
We can tell you frankly that
you cannot do better anywhere
than to ship your cotton to Ma

On Monday the printing plant
of the KRMPER HERALD was sold
}by the executors of the estate of
the late james Il. Duke to MIR.

ular druggi3t. An arrangemnt
has been made through which,
temporarily at least, Mr.. East

associated cditoria]ly and in the
business management OF the pa
per.
| am of the opinion that the
subscribers t o.the paper will be
benefited by the change. MIR.
-Eastland is a young man, ener-
.getic and Bangnina, and new
blood in ali old enterprise gen
,erllly proves to its botterment.
[ believe, also. that materially
che paper will be bettered. The
new management will not be
lhampored by the fact that many
of the Subscribers to the paper
lhave enjoyed Immunity from
payment of subscription price
through the tact that the late
proprietor Of the plant regarded
,them as personal tr ends and
honest (?) men. Such subscrib
.ers will be given two weeks to
remit amount due; prosecutions
will follow where renlittances
are not made.
As editor and manager of the
paper during the past three years,
prior to the death of MIR. Duke,
and since that regrettable oc-
,currance, | have reason to be
thankful for the courteous treat

MODERN DENTISTRY teaches
that every child from two and half
years Of age until it is twelve years
Of age, should have its teeth looked
over by their family dentist every
three months From twelve years
on every six months.
Teeth should be cleaned five
times day regularly-on arising,
after each meal, and just before re-
firing, with good and properly
shaped tooth brush, as the Sanitol
Tooth Brush, which will enable one
to clean their teeth better than any
other brush on the market, believe.
It is decided fact among the
most progressive members of the
Dental profession that if patients
will beep their teeth clean, decayed
teeth will be unknown.
