BRIN your Periodical Tickets WELCOME RAIN BRINGS RELIEF Everyone’is Happy and the Crops and Country Have Been Saved. PLENTY MORE TO COME. The Effect of the Rain Will be to Rush the Fruit Crop Forward —Vegetables Saved, All Macon and all Georgia is happy today. The rain has come at last. The weather has broken and the skies are clouded for the firsrt time in many weeks. It is the best news that could possibly be given out and the rain came just in time to save the state from a calamity. Everything will now take on new life and the fruit men are happy. They say ►hat the lack of rain was the only thing that stood between them and the finest crop of peaches thait has ever been seen in the South. Now that the moisture has come the fruit will make quickly and by the end of the week the shipments will commence from Fort Valley and from down the Macon and Dublin railroad. The (truck gardens have suffered terribly from the drought but the vegetables will be saved in most places. The coming of the rain has given every thing a new start and now that the weather has .broken it is reasonable to suppose that the last of the drought has been seen and that from now on we will have the usual summer rains. PATTERSON IN TROUBLE. Serious Charge Against Him by a Chicago Picture Company. A warrant was sworn out yesterday be fore United States Commissioner Erwin for William Patterson, a well-known white man of this city, who is chargee} by the Chicago Portrait Company with fraud in connection with the delivery pf pictures enlarged by them on orders from their agents. Patterson was arrested on Saturday on a telegram from Jesse Tankard an agent of the company. The charge is that Patterson intercepted the mail addressed to the company at 'Ma chen, Eatonton, Athens and other points. That he took from the letters that he re ceived bills of lading for the pictures which he took from the depots and deliv ered, making collections for them. All this the company claims was done without authority, as Patterson was not. in their employ. Patterson, however has made no effort to avoid arrest if he has done wrong, and the merits of the case will be brought out tomorrow when he will be given a hear ing before the commissioner.

There is nothing of that slatternly un tidiness, combined with lavish expendi ture, in the ameer’s establishment that characterize s the residences of Indian princes. Except on state occasions, when he dresses in a sort of European uniform, he wears a.long, loose coat made of some lovely pale colored French brocade or sat in. lined in winter with fur—sable, stone marten or red foxes’ feet perhaps—and in Bummer with the shot glace silks that come from Bokhara. Harmonizing with these, but seldom matching them, are his skullcap and handkerchief, the whole making a charming mass of color with his couch, which is draped in the most elab orate style and is constantly being altered. In summer it is generally covered with silks and satins, and in winter with cash mere shawls, furs, etc., and has a velvet valance bordered with a massive gold fringe. I have constantly seen him throw off a shawl that offended his eye because it did not harmonize with the rest and order in anot her, and when he chooses his handker chiefs for the day (never less than three or four, for he snuffs, as do most Afghans) he mechanically, as it were, holds first one and then another up against his coat and if he dot's not fancy tlfc shade throws that one down and takes up another, and bo on until he is satisfied, talking all the time as if he were hardly conscious of what lx* was doing.—Pearson’s MACON NFWS MONDAY EVENING.
