On the two first races a purse of $50

the aid of our “City Fathers” in pro

now tiie season when our citizens arc
trimming their trees and hedges of

such in the streets or alleys where our

Painful Acolitent.
Ou Tuesday afternoon last as tho
Albany Guards came marching down
Washington street, the horse attached
to Mr. J. L. Boyt’s sulky, in front of
the Postofflce, became frightened at
the sound of the drum. Jimmie Ray,
a young man about fifteen years old,
seized the bridle-rein at once, the
horse darted off, the brave boy held
to the line, was swung in the air for
some distauce, still holding; his hand
slipped as the horse reached the op
posite aide of the street, he fell, and
the wheel ran over him, breaking his
left thigh. Drs. Cromwell and Bacon
were standing near, and immediately
went tip to his aid. Under careful
medical treatment we hope Jimmie
will soon recover.
' WESTERN WILDS AND THE
WHO REDEEM THEM. ”
MRN
(-'apt. I. A. Hines has placed upon
our table a copy of this admirable
work, for which he is agent. It is
written by J. II. Beadle, correspond-
eutof the Cincinnati Commercial, and
the aim of the book as its author
declares, is to “interest the reader,”
and to tell the exact truth about the
country west of the Mississippi. A
hasty glaucc through the pages of the
work satisfies us that the author has
accomplished his design, nnd has giv
en to his readers a full, interesting
and as fur as we can judge, true ac
count of the resources, characteristics
uml advantages of our great West.—
The book contains t>2l pages, is hand
somely printed and bound, nnd will
be a valuable addition to any library.
Capt. Hines is one of our true citi
zens, and wc wish him success. He
will call on onr citizens in a few days
for subscriptions to his book.

ARE THEY INNOCENTr
Many of our readers know some
thing of the cane against Gregg and
Lovitt, charged with the murder of
one Rozier. in Hancock county. These
parties were tried by the Superior
Court, and convicted under elreuni-
stuntiul evidence, and sentenced to
the pencteutiary for life. Tlie case
was taken to tlie Supreme eonrt, und
the judgment of the Court below af
firmed.
Evidence has been forwarded from
Albany going to show that the above
men ure innocent. The proof is that
two trumps passed through Albany u
few days after Rozier was murdered,
and sold lo Allen Ford, col., of Ibis
city, tlie wnteli which was worn by
Rozier nt tlie lit if Ids death.
The watch has been recovered, scut
to Sparta amt identified.
Our Heroes!
Memorial Day was generally ob
served in all section of the South. In
Albany the exercises were exceeding
ly beautiful and impressive. Homer,
in his Illind. cut wines in sweetest
songs the recollections of the tombs of
departed heroes. There is nothing
purer or more beautiful thau the way
and manner In which the noble wo
men of the South pay tribute to the
valor and bravery of the dead Con
federate soldiers. The thought that
prompts il sparkles with tlie radianco
of patriotism as the Alpine flower
sparkles with the raya of a golden
sun.
AT THE CEMETERY.
All of onr citizens repaired to the
cemetery at about half past four, laden
down with floral offerings. Rev. II.
R. Felder, in a voice ftill of tender
pathos and loving remembrance, of
fered up a prayer. Capt. John T.
Hester in bis usual impressive and
pointed style, introduced tlie speaker.
Capt. Hester’s reinnrks were appropo
and beautiful. Mr. Lott Warren, the
chosen orator of the occasion, advanc
ed to the front, and for half au hour
held the immense audience in perfect
transport by his utterances. His
speech was on a different style from
the usual Memorial oration, depict
ing the history, life and character of
Robert E. Lee. Tho peroration was
splendid; and he received many con-
gratnlstions on his happy effort.
the decoration.
After the oration the work of deco
rating the graves of the soldiers com
menced, and aye, what a beautiful
sight it was to see lovely woman
kneeling over the last resting place
and bedewing the Bod with her tears,
and sprinkling it o’er with floral trib
utes. Standing there pondering,
thinking, gazing at the little flags that
meant “Here rests a Confederate sol
dier,” we could but say
“Ah, crurltj tiriwt a-t* tbs echos* that sort
When memory plays an obi tune on the heait.“
The Guards inarched to the north
ern part of the cemetery, filed in lino
and presented arms before the grave
of their late Captain, Henry E. Welch
Thus passed away the 13th Memo
rial Day. May the custom bo kept
up as long as hearts of Southrons
beat.

The Wool Season.
The wool clip has commenced, and
by the 15th inst. there will be thous
ands of pounds ready to bring to
market.
the best market.
AYe think we can claim Albany as
the best wool market Of any interior
town in the State; and many times
her prices equal what is paid in Sa
vannah. As a rule, our buyers here
paid the highest prices last season of
those of any town or city in Georgia,,
and they intend to do the same thing
this season. We had a talk with one :
of our buyers who operates mostly,
out of Albany a few days ago, and in i
the conversation he said: “It will do'
me harm for you to say in the paper
that Albany is the best market in the
State. I can Im.v it cheaper anywhere!
than here." See the point!
THE EIRST I.OT
of this season's dip was brought in I
on last Saturday by Mr. Joseph Fann,
of Worth county, and was sold at 22 i
cents.
ABOUT 125,000 LBS.
were sold in this market last season,
tearing a good sum of money among
our merchants, etc. About the same
number of pounds will be brought
this season. It comes mostly from
Worth, Dooly, Wilcox, Mitchell, Col
quitt, Berrien, Irwin, Coffee, and a
few other counties, while scattering
lots hail from Lee, Sumter, Terrell,
Calhoun, Early, Baker, etc.
DOES IT r.iV TO RAISE SHEEP?
Short be our story. Certainly it
pays to raise sheep, and farmer, you
know it does. Then why not give
more attention to it. Statistics have
proved that in the South during the
last three or four years wool has paid
60 per ecut. for growing, while cotton
has not paid more titan five to seven
per cent., and then sometimes not that
much. And then it must be remem
bered that sheep have been managed
on such a poor, miserable system that
almost double this amount could be
made by an enlightened treatment.—
The mutton, tender and juicy, and of
the very best quality, could be sold
annually, too, and this would enhance
tlie profits to a considerable extent.—
We wish for our sheep raisers every
success, and hope they will bring their
wool to Albany and get the highest
market price for it.
Embroideries—Large stock will be
opened this morning. Prices lower
than ever before, at
