Maysville, Ga., Oct. 27, 1897—The furniture, millinery and burial merchandise of J. C. Yeargin & Son, Maysville, Ga., having been almost entirely swept away by the recent fire, the said J. C. Yeargin & Son desire to inform their patrons, and the public generally, that they are receiving a new supply of coffins, burial merchandise, millinery and furniture, which they propose to sell as cheap as they can be purchase in Northeast Georgia.
