This is attributable to the money strin gency and the dull sales for the last month or two. On account of this immense upsaleable stock, it is said that the Company will be compelled to run on short time, as least until morey can be realized on a portion of goods now on hand, which, it is thought can be largely decreased in a few weeks by carting, out a number of active canvassers, Jet our whole section rally to turn each other Southern Companies. Let the people buy and wear their goods, and thus help to keep Southern money at home, and give employment to hundreds of worthy people.

Harris, wt wt No. 14 Broadstreet, offers his entire took as with helow New York cout. town Of God Present With Ya. There are very few persons in our land who deny the existence of God as Creator, Supreme Ruler, and Sustainer of the Universe ; but too many of us fail to recognize God as present with us—over watchful of the wants of our bodies, minds and souls, and ready to bestow favors, to uphold with His strong hand, and to comfort with His Holy Spirit. Man is too apt to consider God an afar off, high and lifted up, hid from earth by the thick veil of the sanctuary, seated on a great white throne, surround ed by archangels, elders and an untold host of the redeemed, blood-washed spir its, who float in multiplied circles about hts presence, obstructing his vision and preventing that fatherly care over mortals which they d0 much need, and which is so much desired by the failing spirits of weak and helpless man. Those who board the sermon of Rev. Dr. Key on Sunday last, certainly did not fail to catch the spirit of the masterly effort to con vince us that God is present with us at all times under all circumstances, by us, in us, ready with strength to stay our falt ering footsteps, with sympathy to sooth our sorrows, and grace to bind up our wounded hearts. If any did fail to catch the thought, it is a pity, for just now there is so much to weaken our faith in man, and strengthen the cords of selfish ness which Satan has so stealthily woven, Around us, 80 much to weaken our trust in the Giver of all good when we are wont to call upon our Heavenly Father, so much to hat up the avenues of our hearts and chill the warm blood when unchecked pul sation would melt down the ice barriers and let flow the streams of brotherly love, thon Christian charity, the greatest of all graces, the capping stone in Heaven's arch, brightest you in the diadem of the redeemed soul; so much to dim the Chris tian’s hope and cut off that peace which should flow as a river bearing on its calm look on the treasures purchased by Christ's shed blood, smoothly, sweetly over the shoals, barn and quick sands of time to their laven-earth's paradise, Ieaven's portal. ee Advice to Operativr. ‘There seems no longer any doubt but that the operatives of our immense man ufacturing establishments are to be ‘hown upon short time for awhile at least. This is to be regretted, both on account of the employer and employee, bnt as similar evils have been felt throughout the North, the South may not hope for exemption. We give this little gratuitous advice to those who may be called to suffer by short time and short wages. Live as economically as possible, and keep employed at something if you can. Some among thy males may be tempted to kill time by killing whiskey, and by such a course many succeed in killing themselves. Let drinking, rioting and revelry be guarded against. Such things are always objec tionable and are especially out of place now. Keep out of debt as far as you can. Tt worse better to live hard and practice self-denial than attempt to keep up old styles and habits. We hope the business break will be short, and that short alirighter day will dawn upon you as well as upon the mechanical and mer cantile interests of our city and section. So more it be, Jose Booth from Small Pot, Mr. G. W. Bates, whose illness from small pox we mentioned a few days ago, died at Macon, at 4 o'clock Monday after noon. He was a member of the firm of Lawton Bates, and son of Mr. Asa Bates, so well known here since 1880. George was a young business man of ex cellent promise, possessed of fine intelli gence and social worth; was the pride of his father’s house and the hope of his de clining years. He was for several years connected with the house of J. J. McKen ‘lee, of this city; resided one or two Rea sons in Louisville, Ky., but for the past two or three years was a member of the above our and grocery house in Macon. We sympathize with his aged parents and several young, dependent sisters, who looked up to their brother with feelings of love and pride. His remitins will not be brought here for burial. We regret to hear that Mr. Asa Bates, j). who nursed George through his late illness, has also contracted the smallpox, but was not considered in dangerous con dition at last recounts, are carlone Cesc. Washington telegrams to the Atlanta papers Announce that the Supreme Court of the United States has refused the mo jion for a new trial in the case of Mitton Malone, condemned to death for killing young Phillips in Atlanta. The case was taken before that august body by Messia, W. A. Winwhios, Gartrell Stephens and DPTL. The application was based upon the refusal of Judge Hopkins to continue the case on account of the ab sence of important witnesses, and because of alleged illegality of the jury law.
