An attempt, 'o-called, has been
made to assassinate Emperor Wil

And now it is stated that the punch
is losing in favor in Virginia. We
mean the Uoffot bell punch. The
Sew York legislature is considering
the feasibility of adopting it.
The nex i session of the Legislature
is going to be one of the most im

The National Greenback party of
Pcuusylvauia have inserted a plank
in their platform giving suffrage to
women. Ah! yes. So pleasant for a
Pennsylvania husband to hear the
soil, dulcet strains of his wife yelling
out. "Here. John, mind the baby-
while I go and vote for William
Henry.’’
The Pair of the Randolph Agricul
tural Society will come off on the 4tli
and 5th of July. This will be the
first exhibition of the kind, we be
lieve, ever held in Randolph county.
Southwest Georgia is on the up
grade. We hear of Fairs from every
source. They index a spirit of ad
vancement.
We have received a neat little guide
book from U. M. Drane, General
Fa—cnger Agent of the Macon &
Brunswick railroad, to resorts, etc.,
ou the Cumberland route. It contains
full intormatiou as to points of inter
est. cost of board, rates of fare, means
of access, schedules, etc. Copies free
by addressing Mr. Drane, Macon.
Washington special to the Cincin
nati Commercial: "Word has been
sent to Columbus that the control of
the next National House may depend
upon the action of the Ohio Legisla
ture, and a petition signed by every
Democratic member of Congress urg
ing the Legislature to redistrict the
State, L- promised if it will do any
good.”
It is stated that some Democrats
fear that the party will be divided
Into Tilden and anti-Tilden factions
if the Florida frauds are thoroughly
inve-tigated. Fraud is fraud, and
what the cost, it should be investiga
ted and handled. It is said Mr. Til-
deu has written a letter stating that an
in» t*stigallon should be had for the
purpose of vindicating the trnth of
history. Mr. Tilden is entirely cor
rect.
Talk and workup your town. Give
encouragement to every useful and

upon ourselves a personal injury.
Tiie noble letter written liy Tete
Smith in response to an inquiry from
a friend as to whether he would be
come a candidate for re-election, has
been copied generally throughout
lie; State. The Atlanta CvrutiMion,
the bent paper in the South, says of
if: “We give it the prominence of
editorial position in order that we
may more effectually call attention to
the manly and patriotic sentiments
contained therein. They will be in
dorsed by every true democrat in the
land.”
Host of the newspapers -peak
kindly of the late Hon. John Morris
sey. The Xew York Herald say
he was a man who never forfeited
his word, who never sold his vote
who never trafficked in legislation,
who wa- uimpproachahle not merely
by bribe, but by every kind of iin
|,ro|e-r influence. The Xew York
Time* says many of the most respect
able and intelligent of Mr. Morris-
aey’s fellow-citizen’s will rightly re
ganl hi- death as a positive loss to
the cause of good government
Xew York, and that no man ever
charged him with being a venal leg
islator or a dishonest politician.
The extent of the business of flic
eotlon seed oil factories in Xew Or
leans may be estimated from the fact
that that they have, since the 1st of
liepternber last, gleaned It,837 lmies of
cotton by rlo-er picking of the seed
•eul llieiu to Ire-pressed. An oil seed
mill will.be a saving and conven
lance to any neighborhood in the cot
ton section which may have one. Its
product i- almost a clear addition to
the value of the cotton crop. One of
the most successful men in the bust
nee* is Maj. O. O. Nelson, President
of the Da tv son Manufacturing Com
pany. Ilis-Mill i- situated in Mont
gomery, Ala., and is a model of its
kind. Maj. Nelson is a gentleman
that any State may be proud of.
THE FA IK.
A writer, insprakingoffairs,truth-
folly says:
They benefit our people, bring them
together, interest them in each others
prosperity, and cause them to feci the
moire that they are one. Again, these
competitive exhibitions stimulate all
branches of industry. They infuse vig
or arid anlmalion Into our people and
cause them to determine to have bet
ter, stock, better grain, better fruits,
better implements, better cloths, bet
ter corn, better cotton, in short, better
everything. Fairs through the vari
ous sections of the state aid in contri-
butlng to the substantial strength of
Georgia; lind whatever makes Goor-
^iisgalf supporting and sell’ sustain
ing hi a blessing undisguised, and cer-
lliuly should he appreciated and en
couraged.
Before another issue of our paper
goes to press the first Fair of the
Southwest Georgia Industrial Asso
ciation will have come off. and he
numbered syith the tilings that were.
Our earnest Wish and deepest desire
is for |he entire success of the same.
We caunot command success, but we
can deserve it, and oiir people do de
serve it. They have, one and all,
worked earnestly, zealously and ar
dently for the exhibition, and it i«apt
to reflect and index their cliararter-
iaics of industry and perseverance.
Come to the Fair. lav aside all bus
iness, and come with ns and dan
mirth, joy aud pleasure arotiud the
incubation of a new order of thing
Like Clan-Alpine's chief, "a stranger
is a holy name” with us. ami we will
treat you the best we know liow.
Bring something to the Fair. To
proceed after au old English receipt
for cooking a hare, "first catch your
liare,”-»o first make up your mind you
will hare something on exhibition,
and there will he no difficulty in find-1
ing articles of pfoduce, etc., that will
interest and please the people.
-Every ono of you good sons of bet- i
ters mothers, welcome to Albany, the
“Ijneen Gty” of Southwest Georgia.
Republicans to Stump the South.
The Columbus Enquirer says re
ports come from Washington that the
Republicans propose to have some
Southern districts thoroughly can
vassed. They have lost the Senate,
and intend making a hard fight for
the House. It is said they are rais-
ng a fund to pay election expenses—
that is to hire speakers and buy votes
for the Congressional elections in the
Fail. It is also stated a large amount
of this money will be devoted to cer
tain districts in the South which the
Republicans believe close, and they
intend to send into thesea large num
ber of prominent Northern speakers.
The districts which are specially
siqgled out are two in Louisiana,
three“in South Carolina and one in
each of the States of Florida, Ala
bama and Mississippi—eight in all.
It will be noted they mean to alto
gether neglect Georgia, giving her
np as hoplessly democratic. Now
the South can have no objection to
Northern speakers of the able and
higher Class canvassing her State-.—
We really wish they would come.—
There is a general curiosity to see
and hear them, and they will be met
by our own orators, and in the en
counter we have nothing to fear.—
They wiH’oti the stump meet fopmen
worthy of their strongest efforts and
murh of interest and information ran
be gleaned from the discussion. It
will also have the effect to concentrate
the Democratic ranks, and cause all
personal divisions to cease. The tri
umph of party and not indiduals will
be the incentive and every nerve
strained to win the victory. Personal
ambition would'then he compelled t<
yield to the needs of party, laggards
would be drawn out and the entire
strength of the Democrats be polled.
No fears need he entertained re
garding the colored people. They
have learned something and recog
nize ther fact that the interest of the
two races are identical. They have
been tanght fully the hollowne
Radical friendship anil know how
worthless It is from a sad experienc
They will sole hereafter with em
ployees.
Let the Northern speakers come,
and the best of them too, for the Be
publicans will require all the intel
lect and influence they can command
to hold anything like their own. The
people would la; greatly pleased
hear the discussion.”

kept such a careful and intelligent
record of the cost, anti [results of the

moment with Ihc columns of a live,
interesting newspaper, to which the

The first number of the Daily Fair

full programme of each day; full re

General Present inents.
Baker Superior Cocrt. May Term.
1878.
We. the Grand Jury, sworn, and
empanneled for Ibis term of the Su
perior Court, submit the following
General Presentments:
We have found several true lulls
against transgressors of the law. ami
eturned them to the Court.

of the county are in passable order
with few exceptions. To these we

T1IE rUIII.IU BUII.OINGS
seem to require some alteration and
omplction. jVe therefore recom
mend that the Court House bo ceiled,
the Court room lie properly carpeted,
and that four dozen good, serviceable
hairs be purchased and placed in the
building as early as practicable : and
we further recommend that after
rich term of the < ’ourt the window-
sash lie put down, and that they be so
kept hy the.officer in charge.
The. Jail we find not properly ven
tilated and recommend that the
rd of County Commissioners have
immediately two w indows placed in
rich cell, so located a- iii their judg
ment is deemed best tor health as well
security of the prisoners, and fur
ther that the jail-house
lie enclosed lit a picket fence of suffi-
:ient lieightli to render,coininunicn-
ion w ith the prisoners impossible.
THE RECORDS OE THE COUNTY OFFICERS
have been handed us for examination.
The books of the Clerk of the Supe
rior Court are kept with much neat-
iss anil precision, but we find no
cord of jury scrip, and therefore
commend that lie in the future keep
full and entire record of all the
ript issued by him eitherin payment
of jurors or any other expense of the
Court, as in the absence ol this record
it i' imp»"ildc to determine the e\-
aes indebtedne-s of the county.
The Ordinary submitted no records
of the act- and doings of his Court,
and we recommend I bathe he requir
ed to keep a full and entire record,
and also that lii' books be kept at his
office at the Court House, lor the in
spection of the public.
The Hoard of County Commission
er' also handed in their hooks, w ith a
short statement for examination. The
books are found to he correctly kept,
except the book of oath, bond and li-
cen.-e for the retailing of liquors,
which, in several instance,, w e find
the blank unfilled and know the par-
tic, to he retailing ,pii ituoii, liquors,
from the fact that the TlTO'iirer’s re
ceipt i.~ placed over the blank form,
sliovving the money to have been
paid, lint we find the prescribed oatli
not taken nor the required bond giv
en. and most, rc'pectfully recommend

fully complied with in the future.
