well to apply at once lor llie admis

A General Superintendent.
The Directors of the Southwest
Georgia Industrial Association will
to-morrow elect a General Superin
tendent of the Fall Fair. Much de
pends upon who that Superintendent
is. He should be a man of business
qualifications, quiek, active anil ready
for any emergency. We hope there
will be a full attendance at the meet
ing of the Directors, and that the very
best man will be selected.

a mammoth stock of dry goods, etc.,
there in a few days. Mr. Mayer is
now in New York making his pur
chases. He has built up n good busi
ness in Albany by strict attention lo
the wants of his customers, com
mendable energy and enterprise.
Bridges.
We understand that the bridge
across Muckalee, at Ball’s old mill, is
very unsafe. The bridge is in Lee
county. We therefore, at the request
of many citizens, call attention of the
authorities in Lee to its condition.
We also learn that tlie bridges in
this county at Tallassee and Kiokce,
near A. R. Jackson’s, need repairs;
but the Ordinary informs us that the
lumber is ordered for these ns well as
other bridges; and that Ihe bridges
on all the roads in this county will be
put in thorough repair during this
month.

.Veins that Mr. II. B. McKenzie, an en
gineer in the service of the South
western Railrond Company, is now
surveying Ihe “Extension” hetweei
Blakely and Arlington. I'm- llie pin-
pose of ascertaining what repairs an
needed on the road lied aud bridge*
and estimating the cost of Ihesame.-
This is a step which looks like busi
ness, and the Mews hopes it may hr
followed up l»v many others in quick
succession until llie completion ol'llie
Road to Blakely is nil accomplished
fact.
TUB CIIMIMi BUSINESS SEASON.
Albany timing Itendy for It—llrmry Stocks
or Hoods to Arrive.
Our congratulations to the people
of Albany and vicinity upon the glo
rious prospects ol'llie fall trade.
The dull slimmer montliH are about
10 close, nnd fall trade will soon open.
(Tops are In an advanced condition,
consequently business will begin ear
ly this year. Everybody seems dc-
idetlly cheerful, and that of itself Is
11 promising omen. A general im-
provemeut in every line of business
is hound to follow. Money is money
now, aud our people know that there
is only a fractions difference hetweeu
the “dollars of our daddies,” “gold
coin" aud “greenbark,” and when
that trio of commercial representa
tives associate so closely together iir
vatue, we think that it hill bespeaks
better limes near at hand.” The po
litical elements have simmered down
considerably, and do not stand gap
ing and threatening that uncertainty
for the future which can hut redound
to the ilisnih outage of every business
interest.
It seems that wc all have been pull
ing against wind anil tide for several
years past, hut a bright beam of hope
now nppears, and wc but express the
general verdict of our long-headed
nml far-seeing merchants and farm
ers when we sav that we firmly be
lieve that the ensuing fall will note a
general revival in all branches of
trade and industries.
The merchant, as well as the plant-
I-. lias had a hard road to travel, and
they can join hands in welcoming days
of prosperity again.
The experience of the past several
years has benetitled us all materially,
by teaching its lessons of economy—
to live within our nicatis.
Heal estate in our eity is rapidly
ruperatiug and farm lands in South
west Georgia are coming steadily into
demand.
Many of our merchants are begin
ning lo turn their attention lo the
jobbing trade, and slowly hut surely
Albany is becoming a wholesale mar
ket.
Wo ism to-day boast of large whole
sale dealers in dry goods, boots, shoes,
hardware, crockery, drugs, provis
ions, liquors, carriages, buggies, wag
ons, machinery, castings, etc., which
arc conducted by men who thorough
ly understand their business. We
would call the special attention of
merchants and planters to the fact
that our merchants are now receiv
ing heavy stocks of goods for the fall
and winter trade, and arc determined
to otter such inducements as to prices
and terms that will save them both
the trouble and expense of going else
where in search of a market.
Our merchants should let the peo
ple know of their willingness and
ability to serve them.

Rev. Z. W. Biehardson, of Tennes
see, who is traveling through the
Southern States in the interest of the
great Murphy Temperance move
ment, is in our city, and will to-night
deliver a Free Lecture on the subject,
at the Baptist church, beginning at
8 o’clock. Ladies and gentlemen of
the city are respectfully invited to
attend.
BLOOD-LETTING.
Yesterday shout noon, Eli Outlaw,
colored, Coroner of this county, and
Henry Pearson, another sable broth
er, gol into a dispute concerning the
election for county officers, five
months lieiu-e. Harsh words and bit
ter, rutting oallis were used, till final
ly Outlaw drew liis knife aud made a
wipe at Pearson, cutting him behind
llie ear and on liis leg. Some blood
i spilled, hut no serious damage
done, and there is no inquest for the
I 'oroner. This certainly is enterprise
in a county officer, for while lie reaps
no benefit whatever, the city, county,
and perhaps Superior Court, will
probably lie employed in the two
eases for a day or such a matter.
We don’t know which of the two is
to blame—perhaps both are, hut the
Courts will ileeid
>le the matter at the
proper time.

Albany's Buslni-ss Outlook.
Perhaps at no time since the close
of the war, lias Albany, as a business
market, had more to encourage her
than now. Heavier crops have been
made in this section of the State Ilian
in any other. Corn is plentiful, mid
the cotton crop fur more prosperous
than waa anticipated. Onr people
have learned to economize; anil have
a better conception of (lie value of a
dollar than they had when “high
prices” were tlie order of llie day.
Onr enterprising liuaincs* men
should exercise their soundest judg
ment, mid prepare to reap some of
tills hiisiiiCH*. Funnel's should cron-
tnize, watch the mm-kets, mid “go in’’
for profits.
THE FALL FAIR.
Time Changed to October Ifitli.
•3,000 In Premiums.
Owing to the fact that the Atlanta
Fair is to take place October 22nd,
and the State Fair at Macon October
28th, the Directors of the Southwest
Georgia Industrial Association hare
thought heat to change the time for
holding the Fall Fair, and it la there
fore announced to open on
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15tII.
We think this a very wise step, as
the three grand exhibitions can now
work In conjunction with each other,
and thiiB draw, not only from our
own State, but from other sections,
tlie grandest exhibition ever held in
Georgia. The S. W. G. Ind. Associa
tion offers a Premium List of
$3,500 cash,
which insures for it a grand success.
Of this amount $1,725 is offered for
ritnnlng, and trotting horses; thus
affording excitement as well as profit.
We are assured by parlies who keep
posted iu such matters, that this list,
offered at such a time, will attract
some of the finest stock the country
affords. The horse-men will take in
Albany, Thomasville, Atlanta aud
Macon; aud the aggregate prizes will
be a regular bonanza, worthy the ef
fort of tlie most noted steeds.
THE LIST
offers encouragement to farm labor,
stock raising and domestic work;
which is especially commendable, and
should stir men, women anil children
to their utmost efforts.
We predict for the First Full Fair
of the Southwest Georgia Industrial
Association every success which the
efforts of our worthy citizens de
serves.
The Premium List will shortly ap
pear in the columns of the Albaw
News and in pamphlet form.

It was moved by H.H. Powell, Esq.,
that the meeting proceed to the elec

represent this county in the Camilla
Convention, with power to appoint
their own alternates.
Capt. R. W. Davis moved to amend

The Chair appointed W. W. Flem

Bt it Baolved, By the Democratic
Party of Early county in mass meet
ing assembled, that we do, iu the
strongest terms, endorse, the course
of ihe Hon. Wm. E. Smith, as a mem
ber of Congress of the United States;
and that the people of the 2nd Con
gressional District of Georgia have
great cause to be proud of him as
their immediate representative, for
the able, efficient, faithful and honest
manner in which he has represented
them in our National Council; and
Hint for liis patriotism, sound judg
ment and manly course, he richly de-
serves Ihe confidence of all.
After the passage of the above res
olution, the question of selecting an
Executive Committee of the county,
to serve lor the next two yenrs was
suggested by the Chairman, when on
motion of W. W. Fleming, the Chair
man was authorized to appoint said
Committee, and publish a list of the
same in the Harly County Xem, aad
that he should at the same time sug
gest a day when said committee
should meet to select a Chairman.
The next business suggested was
tlie decision of the question as to
whether there should be nominations
for county officers to beelected at the
ensuing January election. W. W
Fleming moved that it is the opinion
of this meeting that is unnecessary to
make nominations for county offices,
which motion was carried with bat
one opposing voice.
There being no other bittiness be
fore the meeting, it was adjourned.

One thing wc desire to impress upon
the Directors of the Fair Association.
Last spring the gates to the Fair
Grounds were loosely and badly man
aged. No donhtabontthat. Several
hundred dollars were probably lost
by the careless manner in which per
sons were allowed to enter. Wc hope
the Directors will see to it this full
that a different arrangement he made,
and that every dollar due the Asso
ciation is collected. Much depends
upon the selection of an efficient gate
keeper.

To Ascertain the Day of Your Birth.
To the number representing your
age at Ihe anniversary of your birth
day, add one-fourth for leap year.—
Divide this by seven aud the remain
der counted hack from that von art
observing, will give the exact day of
hirlli. For instance, at any particu
lar recurrence of the birth date, one
is 24 years old, this divided by 4 and
tho quotient li added to 24 gives 30.—
Divide this hy 7 and you have 4 and
a remainder of 2. lienee, if a birth
day anniversary occurs on Monday
count hack two, ami Saturday is ob
tained as the day of birth. The rule
is said to lie infallible. We opine,
however, that only a very few per
sons know the day of birth. Many do
not know the date.

The Central Georgia Weekly, pub
lished at Macon, thus warns the la
dies, just after the late unpleasant
ness in that city:
“The weather is warm we know,
hut if you can’t keep cool, keep as
cool as you can. At all events so
far ns wc are concerned you had bet
ter keep very cool. Now, we give
you fait- warning that if any of you
attempt to cowhide us we shall give
you the most vigorous hugging you
ever got in your lives. We mean just
what we say, too, unless you are too
horrid ugly to embrace. If you have
a pretty mouth we shall kiss you, and
if you are too ugly to kiss we shall
bite you, and if you are too ugly to
bite we shall pinch you, and it you
arc too ugly to pinch we shall lay vio
lent hands on you and shake you till
you sec stars in broad open day time.
We will not be cowhided even by a
woman. Now, ladies, if yon don’t
want to be hugged by a strong arm
ed editor, nor kissed, nor bit, nor
pinched, nor shaken, don’t try to cow
hide us. We are not scared, either.—
Wc dont run. Our parents taught
us never to run from anything except
the devil. We are not specially anx
ious, ladies, either to hug, kiss, bite,
pinch or shake any of you, but we
put vou on timely notice that if any
of you attempt to whip us yon may
expect to fight in close quarters. Wc
are not going to fight your husbands
either. We shall hold you personally
responsible. Our motto is let every
tub stand upon its own bottom. Now
female friends don’t think we are
trying to “bulldoze” you or scare you
off. While we make no “reference to
pcnoual allusions” we mean just
what we have said. So, take notice
and govern yourselves accordingly.
The Central Georgia Weekly will
neither be cowhided nor horsewhip
ped."

It b not advisable for any of us to
rertask our energies, corporeal or
mental, but in the eager pursuit of
wealth or fame or knowledge, how
litany transgress this salutary rule. It
must be a mattter of great importance
to all who do so to know how they
can regain the rigor so recklessly ex
pended. The remedy is neither "cost
ly or difficult to obtain. Hostettor’s
Stomach Bitters is procurable in eve
ry city, town and settlement in Amer
ica, and it compensates for a drain of
bodily or mental energy more effectn-
ally than any invigorant ever pre
scribed or advertised. Laboring men,
athletes, students, journalists, lawyers,
clergymen, physicians, all bear testi
mony to its wondrouslv renovating
powers. It increases the capabilities
for undergoing fatigue, and counter
acts the injurious effects upon the sys
tem of exposure, sedentary habits,
unhealthy or wearying avocations, or
an insalubrious climate, and is a
prime alterative, diuretic and blood
depurent.
