Notwithstanding the low price of
cotton the working people of onr sec
tion, both white and black, are, as a
general thing, better off than they
have been at any time since the close
of the war. They have studiously
avoided debt, and their income is
their own profit. Corn and meat are
down low; and everything else will
soon become proportionately so. Bet
ter times ahead, and no doubt about
it.
It is impossible for us to get full

Mr. Georoe T. Galloway, of Ba
ker, is a candidate for Tax Collector
of that county. Mr. Galloway lost
liis arm whilo serving in the confed
erate army. This fact, conpled with
Ids competency, and general popular
ity. make him a “fast runner.*
Mr. J. It. Forrester, is again a can
didate for Tax Collector of Dougher-
without opposition. Comptroller
General Goldsmith remarked to the
writer of this some time ago: “Bob
Forrester is one of the best Tax Col
lectors in Georgia.” And so he is,
anil no man can beat him.
Mr. Felix G. Edwards, the pros-
nt Marshal of Albany, has been out
some time for Sheriff of Dougherty,
lie has received marked encourage
ment from all classes of our citizens,
regardless of race or politics. He is
a deserving young man, was reared
here in Dougherty, and served for
sumo time as Deputy Sheriff. He
makes a most excellent officer, and if
elected to the position which he seeks
will give entire satisfaction to all.
Mr. Wiley P. Burks, tho. present
efficient Clerk of the Superior Court,
is a candidate for re-election. Up to
tlie prosan t time, we hare heard of no
opposition to Mr. Burks, and do not
believe he will have an opponent.—
Tlie white and colored people of this
county know him well, as a good of
ficer and citizen.

Brrtlng of Stockholders tost Friday.
The annual me dlng of I lie Stock
holders of the Southwest Geo-gin In-
dtutrial Association, was held <>n Fri
day last. The attendance was not as
large aa it should have been, but
those who were there manifested
deep .sincen» in tlie welfare of the
enterprise.
Mr. T. M. Carter, the efficient Sec
retary, niade tlie following report:
Subscriptions collected... .$ G.50U 50

Improvement* for Fall Fair 533 83

The Fall Fair fell short of paying
all expeiuea, including improvements
made this fall, as follows :
Outstanding hill unpaid.. $ 109 88
Amount due Welch and Tift
as above 329 58
The above amount will bn collected
without additional assessments. New
stock will be subscribed sufficient to
pay all outstanding debts, and unpaid
shares already subscribed will doubt-
loss more than suffice to pay Col.
Tift aud Mr. Welch for the amounts
advanced by them for necessary im
provements before holding of the lust
Fall Fair, thus placing the Associa
tion free from debt with tho land
and all improvements paid for.
Upon motion a committee of three
was appointed outside of the direct
ors to examine the books and voueh-
era of the secretary and treasurer, tlie
acts of the directors, together with
the condition of the property, and
the care taken of it, and to report to
a meeting of tho stockholders, to be
called on Friday, 29th inst., said com
mittee to consist of W. II. Wilder,
W.T. Jones, and W. E. Mitchell.
■LECTION OP OFFICERS.
Upon motion Mr. L. E. Welch was
again elected President by a unani
mous vote, and amidst much ap
plause. This was a most deserved
compliment to a faithful officer. No
man in such a position ever manifest
ed more zeal for the’welfare of an
institution. He has worked hard for
the building up of the Association,
spending not only his time, hut mon
ey, upon the enterprise. He ought to
be made a life time President.
The present Board of Directors,
with exception of Capt. Jno A. Davis,
who tendered his resignation, were
re-elected. In declining to serve
another term, Capt. Davis, gave the
Association every assurance that it
was a necessary step on his part, and
that he frit a deep interest in the
good of tho Association, and would
continue to exert himself in its be-
behalf. Capt. R. Hobbs was elected
to serve in his place, and tho Board
now stands as follows:
L. E. Welch, President.
Director: L. E. Welch, N. Tift, T.
n. Willingham, S. R. Weston, Dr. P.
L. Ililsman, T. W. Fleming, J. E.
Billups, R. Hobbs, 8. Mayer, F. L.
Bridge, J. L. Boyt, S. P. Salter, L. P.
D. Warren, T. B. Bennett, R. J. Ra
gan.
The Vice Presidents are chosen by
the directors.
President Welch asked for sugges
tions from the stockholders concern
ing the future management of the af
fairs of the Association, when Col.
Tift proposed that a small dwelling
house be built for a keeper of the
grounds, and part of the insido of the
race course be turned over to him for
cultivation, as compensation for his
services. Objections were made; and
several speakers, the President among
tha number, suggested that the city
ho asked for a small annual appro
priation for keeping the grounds in
order. A committee of enquiry was
appointed, consisting of L. P. D-
Warren, John A. Davis, N. Tift, It.
Hobbs and C. B. Wooten, whose duty
it should be to investigate the consti
tutionality of some feasible plan by
which the Fair Grounds could be in
corporated within tho corporate lim
its of the city of Albany, to the end
that the grounds be converted into a
permanent park for the health and
benefit of the citizens, that the grounds
be placed under the police jurisdic
tion of the city, and that the City
Council be enabled, if possible,
make a small annual appropriation
for the purpose of keeping the Fair
Grounds in order during the intervals
between the semi-annual fairs.

Report reaches us of a bloody duel,
which occurred at Colquitt, Miller
county, last week. This is something
rare in these easy days of the “easv
coae,” where the parties meet, mark
oil' the ground, shuke hands, and go
back home. But it seems that tho
Miller county boys are not that kind
of stock.
We failed to get full particulars of
tbo affair, but learn that some harsh
words passed betwen Judge O. P.
Morton of the county court of that
couuty, and a one-armed gentleman
by the name oi Calhoun. The Judge
wanted to fight, when Calhoun told
him he could not meet him in a test,
of strength, as he bad only ono-arni;
the Judge than proposed a meeting in
a “honorable” way So, at a late
hour of night, while the luoou was
brightly shining, the two wended
their way to the village grave yard,
stood a few paces apart, fired, and
theJndge full to the ground. Here
ended the trouble. The wounded
man will recover, uud agrieved hon
or ia paiiated.

SERIOUS INJURY.
Tuesday night, about half-past 12

were aroused from their slumbers by
the mile alarms of fire. The- light
soon revealed tlie brick store-house,
occupied l»y
HR. L. A. STOKES, *

before sufficient assistance could
reach the place to extinguish the
flames, tlie whole building was en
tirely wrapped by tire.
the stock \
contained therein was very nearly all
consumed, very little being mved.
This is the second time within a'few
years, if wc mistake not, that Lon
Stott* has been burned out. He had
a good stock, and was doing a thriv
ing business.
MR. JOSEPH DXES,
connected with the house, had about
$250 burned up. Mr. Dee* washrieep
in the lower portion of the house! bnt
so rapid was the Are that ha did not
awako even in lime to save his cloth-
ing.

a clerk in the establishment, had •
room in the upper story, and bad to
jump to the ground to save his life.
Wo are glad to Inaru bn sustained' no
severe injuries.

lamp in rear part of store.

We are glad to welcome another
hook from the able, graceful and fas
cinating pen of this prince of writers
of Bible literature, To all who have
perused the poetic, glowing pages of
“Night Scenes in the Bible,” the mere
announcement of a new work will be
hailed with pleasure. Mingling with
the wild scene of Gideon’s Night At
tack, aud the sad vision granted to
Nehemiah of the desolation of Jeru
salem is a beautiful description of tha
midnight sun off the coast of Nor
way, within twelve hundred miles of
the North Pole. The Night of Be
trayal wakens the deepest emotions
of loving hearts, and we shudder at
the Darkness of Noonday, and waap
at the grave in the dark shadows of
night feeling with Intense vividness
the events ins marvelous skill has de
picted. The book ia preciona to. the
believer and its literary excellence,
rare word painting, and poetic im
agery make it a very delightful work
for universal perusal.

Editors Sew* : Our town presents
a dull appearance tbia week, front
tlie fact that the majority of our cit
izens are in attendance of our Sups*
rior Court, wnlch convened in Lees
burg on the lltli inst.,' but there is
enough, left to keep things moving,
in the even tenor of its way. Oof
business is extremely ’dull, from th$
fact of the extremly low price of cot
ton, we hope, howover, for a better
day in the future. Our community
was thrown into gloom on 8unday
last at the intelligence of the death off
Mr. Taylor Tillman, youngest son o€
Mr. W. M. Tillman. Taylor wit a
model young man, juat entering into
manhood, and with bright antldpa-
tions, beloved by all who knew,him;
in our very short acquaintance with
him wo were forcibly Impressed by
his gentlemanly deportment; and
mauy social qualities. Hia remains
were interred in the family burial
ground at Starkville. on Monday last,
manv friends attending him to hb
last resting place, and we can only
say now, “peace to his ashes.” HU
[>arents have the sympathy of the en
tire community in this their sad be
reavement. O. L.O. •
