is much cheaper than it was last year.
Cotton.— lt is expected our cotton market will
Open at 24 cents this morning. It is hard to rule
the old King much below that figure.
A great deal of fencing was washed away
**°"S th ‘‘ Ocmulgec, below the city, during the
lat.- freshet. Mr. Lane lost fifty or sixty cords of
line wood from his yard below the city.
Wc are glad to sec the Lanier House again
filled with people and doing a fine business. It is
the finest constructed hotel in the Southern States,
and then; is really no good reason why it should
not lie well kept up.
Katino Moi.se at Jonesboro.— Mr. Johnson
still keeps up the well earned reputation of his
Eating House. Passengers on the Macon & West
ern Railroad will always find good meals at this
house—good old-fashioned cooking, such asulwayg
pleases. Give him a call.
Country Merchants, who may wish anything
in the line of Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, Clothing,
and Notions, should drop in at the New York Store-
Nos. 45 aud 47 Triangular Block, Second street, in
spect the heavy stock, and find out prices before
purchasing.
Postponement. —We are rather pleased than
Otherwise, that Skiff & Gaylord’s Troupe of
Minstrels should have remained orei* one night
longer at Columbus, at the request of many fami
li*'«, and not exhibited on last Saturday evening in
Macon. It will he seen by reference to the adver
tisement elsewhere, that they will open tMs even
ing at Ralston Hall, instead of Concert Hall. Re
served seats cun lie secured, without extra charge,
at the News Depot of Havens & Brown. The
'I ronpe will show again to-morrow night.
Springer. —We ask the attention of buyers of
Dry Goods, both wholesale and retail, to the unique
and telling advertisement of 011 c of our oldest
merchants since the close of the war— Springer.
They will see that he is disposed now, as ever, to
give them a fair and square trade for anything they
may need in his line. They will see from what he
says, that his assortment is os complete as they can
li«d anywhere, and, as he offers to sell to advant
age, why they should give him a showing at least.
Hertz, successor to Turpin & Hertz, so long and
favorably known, not only In this community, but
in nil South-western Georgia, as Clothiers, is out
in a bold announcement that he is prepared to fill
orders for everything in the shape of Clothing and
Furnishing Goods for Gontlemen, Youths, Boys
and Freedineu, considerably below others in his
liue. As “seeing is believing,” we think all who
want anything iu his line, had better see if they
can make terms and suits to snit them, at No. 90
Cherry street
A Great Time in Prospective.— We ask the at
tention of our fair readers to the announcement
elsewhere of Mrs. Audoin, that Wednesday next
will be her grand opening, to which she invites
them. Bufficc it to say, that, with her usual taste
in female finery, Mrs. A. has brought out a very
choice stock of Millinery Goods, of which we shall
leave the ladies to judge hereafter. That they will
find some “lovesof bonnets” and “divine” female
fixins, they can take our word. That they will for
get the time or place, we haven’t the remotest idea;
so wc shall close.
Negro Superstition.— As.soon as the execution
was over last Friday there were many applications
for bits of the ropes by colored people present.
One man said he wanted a piece long enough to
go around the neck, that he had a son who had fits
aud that tying a piece of a hangman’s rope aroun
his boy’s neck would cure him. When receivin
it lie expressed great gratification, firmly believing
he had secured an infallible remedy.
The ropes were all then cut Into little pieces and
given out as mementoes, guards against witches, for
luck, and for various other reasons, all the veriest
superstition.
Duessy.—Now that the ladies have possessed
tlicuiselves of the latest publications containing the
fall fashion plates, their next want will be the ma
terials with which to pet up a fashionable fall and
winter outdt. The stock of beautiful and choice
Dress Goods at the well-known New York Store,
In point of variety, is hard to llnd equalled this side
of New York. The ladles will bear this in mind
l>eforc selecting.
Country merchants, in the extensive Wholesale
Department of 8. Waxklbaum A Bno., at No. 45
Becond street, cannot Gail to find everything needed
to replenish their stocks, while the planter can fill
a bill there very advantageously.
Sale or City Lots Saturday.—The city offer
ed a large number of lots at auction Saturday, but
in consequence of the small number of people at
tending the sale and the low prices offered only fif
teen or twenty were sold, nearly all lying imme
diately on and in the vicinity of Tatnall Square.
They were one-half acre each, and brought from
* 100 to S7OO. A block was sold immediately in
front of the residence of James Seymour, the
cheapest lot at UfcJS and the highest STOO. It was
supposed they would bring at least twice the
amount they did, but as before stated, few persons
attended the sale and the bidding was anything but
spirited. The terms were one half cash and the
balance in twelve months without interest
The Wants op House Keepers Supplied.—
House keepers have had much to contend with for
some time after the war. Luckily our merchants,
Benedicts and Bachelors, have commiserated their
troubles, and happily ended them. B. A. Wise,
the popular House Furnishing merchant of Middle
Georgia, thinking that the tariff on articles of
Crockery was too high, has overcome that difficul
ty by importing direct from Europe. That he may
suit their convenience, he has established a fine
Crockery establishment at No. 80, Mulberry street,
where they can obtain everything they noed in that
line.
The greatest advantage offered, however, is to the
country merchants —those who buy to sell. By this
direct importation, Wise is enabled to offer Crock
ery at a better margin— saving the expense of
handling and heavy freights. Wholesale buyers,
▼kiting Macon, should bear this in mind, and call
and note the advantages to be gained by buying at
No. Bft Mulberry street.
“o-wabt Again.—We see by ‘’General
-utters No. 87," we are again to have “a standing
anny quartered upon us in a time of peace.” One
ompany of the 16th Infantry is to be sen| to
Macon, but the Commanding General takes pains
m announcing that it will act as an auxiliary forceto
the civil authorities; “that their object should be
exclusively to preserve the peace and uphold law
and order, and they must be satisfied such is the
object of the civil officer calling on them for aid •
that they must In all cases where time will permit
apply for instruction to superior authority, but
they must at all hazards preserve the peace, and not
be restrained by technical points, when, in their
coiiscientioua judgment under the rules above set
forth, it is their duty to act Post Commandere.
on being notified of the proposed holding of pol
itical meetings, may send an officer, and if necessa
ry a detachment, to watch the proceedings and see
that the peace is preserved.”
We congratulated the people of Macon a few
months ago upon getting rid of the military, and
were dreaming that hereafter wc would be left “to
paddle our own canoe.” But they are to be back
upon us again in a few days. And so we go.
Come to Time.—According to promise, we pre
sent this morning the advertisement of Messrs.
Nussbaum & Dannenberg to the buyers of Dry
Goods, Clothing, Boots, Bhoes, Hats, etc. Os these
articles, they have opened quite a large and well
assorted stock in their new establishment, on Third
street, at the stand recently occupied by Farrar &
Troutman, two doors from the Express Office.
Their establishment is quite an extensive one,
and well suited for the display of their goods to
advantage. Planters visiting the Third street ware
houses, and needing anything in their line, might
go farther and fare worse. Try them.
The Late Accident oh the Central Railroad.
—We learn the particulars of the late accident on
the Central Railroad from the Conductor of the
train.
When the up freight train on Thursday was run
ning past the 96 mile post a car belonging to the
Muscogee road, and which was in the middle of tlic
train ran off the track, the reason being the wearing
out of one of its journals. It jerked three or four
cars in its front off, and threw all but three off in
its rear. Fourteen care in all were thrown off the
track, and many of them badly damaged; nobody
sustained the slightest damage.
The disabled cars were all cleared away from the
track the next day, and the trains on the road run
ning regularly.
Reliable.—The first inquiry made of a man or
firm, of those posted, by one who wishes to enter
into commercial transactions is, is ho or they relia
iblo!
These old established and very obliging mer
chants, E. Feuciitwagbb & Cos., have always stood
A No. 1, in commercial circles in Middle Georgia.
They have something to say to purchasers of Dry
Goods in our paper this moruing, as to their inter
est in this regard, which may pay them to heed.
Those long-looked for and most durable
Jeans and Cassimeres, from the celebrated
Rock Island Mills, in North Carolina, have arrived,
and gentlemen can now make their selections.
To the ladies they have a word to say on the
Dress Goods question. The gentlemanly propri
etor and their courteous clerks will take much
pleasure in allowing the new novelties they have
just received.
All Ready, Gentlemen.—Cotton planter are
referred to the card of those sterling and most re
liable warehouse men, Messrs. Jonathan Collins
& Son. Since getting full control of the Coates &
Woolfolk Warehouse—which they put in complete
repair—they have been receiving largely and rapid
ly of the new crop. Heavy though these consign
ments have been, they have not more than kept
pace with their sales. To show that these sales
have been satisfactory to their patrons, wc will hut
repeat what we heard an old planter say: “Why,”
said he, “old man, this is a cent more a pound
than I calkerlated on!” Further comment is un
necessary. Yon have but to send them your cot
ton ; we know the result will prove pleasing.
In the West End.—We walked through the
West End of the city Saturday, in the vicinity of
Tatnull Square, and saw many evidences of the
growth and rapidly expanding population of Macon.
Although many lots around that square are already
improved, still many others as beautiful os are in
the corporate limits are vacant. The splendid resi
dence of James Seymour is agemof brilliant beauty
among all the rest.
The city still owns a great many lots around and
in proximity to Tatnail Square, and it strikes us a
contribution might be levied, the ground improved,
and the property thereby sufficiently enhanced in
value to get the money back. We greatly need a
public park—a place of resort—a place to drive and
while away time from the hot and dußty streets.
We were struck in our walk with the many cot
tage houses building by men working upon small
salaries, and who seem determined to secure
homes for themselves and their families. This is
right. This is the way to become independent and
to enjoy the real comforts and blessings of the mar
riage state. No man can be either comfortable or
happy who has his family driven from pillar to post
your after year.
And Still Another.—lt is not with the slight
est intention of assisting in a raid upon the pock
ets of husbands and fathers, but only to oblige the
ladies, that wc call attention to the fact that anew
and fashionable Millinery Store has been opened
on Cotton Avenue, in the building lately vacated
by Nnssbaum & Dannenberg, next to Schreiner’s
music store. The new aspirants for the patronage
of the fair sex are Mrs. Hendrix & Co.—latlies
who seem to possess judging from
the array of pretty things they have opened at No.
15 Cotton Avenue. As we know the ladies will go
to see them, we forbear further comment
The Alphabet,—To young beginners as well as
those old enough to read their titles clear to their
own houaes and lots, we would refer the Alphabet
tical list of good things kept by those prince o
caterers Greer & Lake. We thought we were
posted in the names of eatables and drinkables, but
were completely stumped as to whether the article
called “Zythum” is a solid or liquid—drinkable,
eatable or smokable. All zeotically or curiosity
inclined, however, can liavo their doubts removed
instanter as to the nature of the animal at No. 66
Third street.
The rumor is current that on account of the rush
of the fair sex to see if the good looking proprie
tors were “purtier than their picters,” the “photos”
have been withdrawn. This in “Nojoqne.”

Haw Gen. Cobb Died.
New York, Oct 10.—Yesterday morning CoL
Williams of Florida, accompanied by a Baptist
clergyman, called on Gen. Cobb. An animated
conversation occurred between the minister and
Gen. Cobb. Gen. and Mrs. Cobb were taking leave
of their guests on the Etairs leading from the par

of the loyal Probate Judge and Clerk. Resolutions
were offered in the House, calling upon the Gover
nor to have the county declared under martial law
and troops to be sent there at once. In the Senate
a resolution was offered requiring the Governor to
offer a reward of five thousand dollars for each
man concerned in the murder. The Democratic
members suggested that it was wrong to denounce
people without a hearing or a trial. The news has
been spreading this evening that the whole report
was false, and that neither of the alledgedmuidered
men are hurt. The Governor received a dispatch
stating that there was not a word of truth in the
alleded murders. The whole thing was a trick to
make capital for the Northern elections.

gine. Yet the last thing that most people think
of is the protection of this delicate piece of the
Creator’s handiwork from the subtle causes of
disease by which it Is surrounded. It Is no easy
thing to repair the sjslem when in luins; bat
there is no difficulty in fortifying It against many
of the dangers to which it is exposed. Guard
against nervous debility. At the first symptom of
this fore rnnner of more serious ailments, sus
tain the flagging energies of natme with HOS
TJETTER’B STOMACH BITTERS. Take it regu
larly and persistently, until' bodily vigor is thor
oughly restored It creates an appetite, pro
motes—or, it might as properly be said, compels—
the complete digestion of the food, regulates the
seceetive action of the liver, tones and invigo
rates the bowels, improves the condition of the
blood, and gives firmness to the nerves. Upon a
system thus strengthened arrtl regulated in all
its important functions, the fogs and exhala
tions of autumn, pregnant with the elements of
intermittent and remittent fever, can make lit
tle or no impressson. Whoever supposes that
lever and ague is an unavoidable evil in certain
districts, at this season of the year, is egreglously
mistaken. As effectually as a draught of cold air
is shut oat by the closing of a door, this com
plaint, and all disorders of a miasmatic type,
may be prevented by the use of the BITTERS.
When sickness can be avoided by a means so safe
and simple, is it not the merest faintly to neg
lect the proffered antidote ? Regarded either as a
preventive or a cure for dyspepsia, biliousness,
Intermittent fever, nervous disorders,general de
bility, or constipation of the bowels, this pare
vegetable preparation stands alone.
