A Feasible Project.
A. W. Berry intends to erect a
block of four dwellings on his prop
erty on Cedar street His intention
appears to be to sell them, including
the lots on which they stand, by
monthly installments, something after
the following plan: The party pur
chasing enters into an agreement
with Mr. Berry to pay him say $35
per month for a certain length of time,
and in consideration of which he
gives the party a warranty deed to the
property. It is argued that if one
is paying 20 per month rent and
adds 15 to this and applies it as
above stated he will be paying 180
per year while receiving a credit of
120, being 240 per year better off
than if he were paying rent In
Oakland, CaL, there are a great many
buildings sold on a somewhat similar
plan only they charge interest, while
Mr. Berry does not. The plan looks
feasible and is worth consideration.
Dr. Martin has drawn up plans for
Mr. Berry of some very handsome
dwellings.

HOMESPUN ELOQUENCE.
An
Oration "Which Overreached Aleck
Stephens and Bob Toombs.
A doctor named Boyston had sued
Peter Bennett for his bill, long over
due, for attending the wife of the lat
ter. Alexander H. Stephens was on
the Bennett side, and Bobert Toombs
then Senator to tho United States
was for Dr. Boyston. The doctor
proved tho number of visits, the value
according to local custom, and his
own authority to do medical practice.
Mr. Stephens told his client that th
physician had made out his case, and,
as there was nothing wherewith to
rebut or offset the olaim, the only
thing left to do was to pay it
"No," said Peter, "I hired you to
speak in my case, and now speak."
Mr. Stephens told him there was
nothing to say; he had looked out to
see that it was made out, and it was.
Peter wa3 obstinate; and at last Mr.
Stephens told him to make a speech
himself, if he thought one could be
made.
"I will," said Peter Bennett, "if
Bobby Toombs will not be too hard
on me."
Senator Toombs promised, and
Peter began:
"Gentlemen of the jury, you and I
is plain farmers, and if ws don't stick
together these 'ere lawyers and doc
tors will get the advantage of us. I
ain't no objections to them in their
proper place; but they ain't farmers,
gentlemen of the jury. Now, this
man Boyston was anew doctor, and
I went for him to come an' to doctor
my wife's sore leg. And he came an'
put some salve onto it, and some
rags, but never done it ono bit of
good, gentlemen of the jury. I don't
believe he i3 no doctor, no way.
There is doctors as is doctors, sure
enough; but this man don't earn his
money; and if you send for him, as
Mrs. Susan Atkinson did for a negro
boy as was worth $1,000, he just kills
him and wants pay for it"
"I don't," thundered the doctor.
"Did you cure him?" asked Peter,
with the slow accent of a judge with
a black cap on.
The doctor was silent, and Peter
preceeded:
"As I was sayiu' gentlemen of the
jury, we farmers, when we sell our
cotton, has got to give vally for the
money we ask, and a doctor ain't
nono too good to be put to the same
rule. And I don't believe this Sam
Boyston is no doctor, no how."
Tho physician again put in his oar
with "Look at my diploma, if you
think I am no doctor."
"His diploma I" exolaimed the new
fledged orator, with great contempt
"His diploma! Gentlemen, that is a
big word for printed sheepskins, and
it didn't make no doctor of the sheep
as first wore it, nor docs it of tho
man as now carries it, and I pint
out to ye that he ain't no doctor at
nil."
The man of medicine was now in a
fury, and screamed eut: "Ask my
patients if I am no doctor."
"I asked my wife," retorted Peter,
"an' she said as how she thought you
wa3n t"
"Ask my other patients," said Dr.
Boyston.
This seemed to be the straw that
broke the camel's back, for Peter re
plied with a look of unutterable sad
ness: "That is a hard sayin', gentlemen
of the jury, and one that requires mo
to die to have powers as I ve heard
tell ceased to be exercised since the
Apostloa. Doe3 ho expect mo to
briug the angel Gabriel down to
toot his horn before the time and cry
aloud, 'Awake, yo dead, and tell
this court and jury your opinion of
Boyston's practice?' Am I to go to
the tomb and say to him as is at last
at rest from physic and doctor's bills,
'Git up here, you, and state if you
died a natural death, or was you
hurried up some by doctors!' He
says, 'ask his patients,' and, gentle
men of the jury, they are all dead!
Where is Mrs. Beazly's man Sam?
Go ask the worms in the graveyard
where he lies. Mr. Peak's woman
Sarah was attended by him, and her
funeral was appointed, and he had
the corpse ready. Where is that
likely Bill as belonged to Mr. Mitch
ell? Now in glory a-expressin' his
opinion on Boyston's doctorin.'
Where is the baby gal of Harry
Stephens? She is where doctors cease
from troublin' and infants are at
rest
'Gentlemen of the jury, he has
eat chiokens enough at my house
to pay for his salve, and I furnished
the rags; and I don t suppose he
charges for makin of her worse, and
even he don't pretend to charge for
curur of her: and I am humbly
thankful that he never gave her noth
in' for her innards, as lie did his other
patients, for somethin made um all
die mighty sudden."
Here the applause made the speaker
sit down in great confusion, and, in
spite of a logical restatement of the
case by Senator Toombs, the doctor
lost and Peter Bennett won.

CIRCUIT COURT PROCEEDINGS.!
The court room yesterday was a
little moro crowded than on any pre
vious day of the term.
Jos. Dows was arraigned charged
with the crime of rape and given till
Monday to plead.
Ah Gee was arraigned charged with
the crime of larceny; till Monday to
plead.
Chin Toon arraigned for assault
with a dangerous weapon; till Mon
day to plead.
In the case of the state vs Jim
Brown, defendant entered a plea of
not guilty.
The case of Alex. Grant, adminis
trator estate P. Grant, deceased, vs.
W. D. Baker et al., occupied the at
tention of the court the greater part
of the day, twenty-one witnesses in
all being sworn and giving testimony.
The evidence was all in by four
o'clock and the remainder of the af
ternoon and evening was devoted to
elaborate argument on the part of
counsel. At 930 p. h. the argument
closed; Judge Smith charged the
jury, his remarks being of a half
hour's duration, whereupon the jury
retired and at 10:15 brought in a ver
dict for the defendants.
ADVERTISING NUGGETS.
Don't expect an advertisement to
bear fruit in one night.
Bread is the staff of human life,
and advertising is the staff of busi
ness. You can't eat enough in a week to
last a year, and you can't advertise
on that plan either.
A thing worth doing is worth do
ing well. A thing worth advertising
is worth advertising well.
The enterprising advertiser proves
that he understands how to buy, be
cause in advertising he knows how to
sell.
People who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks
cannot remember anything longer
than about seven days.
A constant dropping will wear a
rook. Keep dropping your adver
tisements on the public and they will
soon melt under it like rock salt
Quitting advertising in dull times
is like tearing down a dam because
the water is low. Either plan wil pro
vent good times from coming.
If you can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement, it is a great point
gained. The fair sex don't hold all
the curiosity in the world.
Trying to do business without ad
vertising i3 like winking at a pretty
girl through a pair of green goggles.
You may know what you are doing,
but nobody else does.
It is a mistaken notion that a fino
store in an eligible location, sur
rounded by attractive Bigns, is a su
perior advertisement; for the expe
rience of most enterprising merchants
is that it pays better to spend les3 in
rent and more on advertising.
Enterprising people are beginning
to learn the virtue of advertising the
year round. The persistency of those
who are not intimidated by the cry
of "dull times," but keep their names
ever before the public, will surely
place them on the right side in the
end.
m A man's sign offers a mute invita
tion to those only who pass his place
of business; hi3 circular can only
reach those to whom his personal at
tention is given; but his announce
ment in a newspaper goes into the
highways and byways, finding cus
tomers and compelling them to con
sider his arguments.
