THE LIBRARY
■ The regular meo’.lnga ot this insti

Mr-i^©hMn fine bat* voice, and
his mMIwImw ell rendered.
M 1st Erie HUsman recited the “Vn 1 -
ture of the Alps” in an Impressive
voice and finely descriptive manner.
Kirke White’s “Ode to Disappoint
ment” received an apt interpretation
by Win. Oliver, Esq.
Tlie lively music of Matttei’s beau
tiful waltz, by Miss Janio Warren,
was a pleasant variation of the exer
cises.
Miss Hardwick’s recitation was one
of the most perfect we have ever lis
tened to from an amateur, and many
rounds of applause attested tho ap
preciation and enjoyment of her au
dience.
The Library is getting fully under
way and contributes no little to the
enjoyment and instruction of the peo
ple.
The Crop*.
Planters report a good beginning
for this year’s crop. Much corn is up

beautiful; the laborers working well
and tlie farmers happy.

Death of Mr. & Yeomans
This young man, one of the most
useful and industrious citizens of Lee
county, died at his home on Jordan’s
Janes Place qp Saturday night last,
after a brief illness. On Tuesday
night Mr. Yeomaus was serving as a
juror on a case in Lee Superior Court.
Tbe jury could not agree upon a ver
dict; and was locked up for tbe night
in an uncomfortable room. Mr. Y.
laid down near a wind*©, and went
to sleep. During the night some one
raised the wiudow. Deceased con
tracted cold, from which he died on
Saturday uight following. He was
buried in Albany cemetery Sunday
afternoon, a large number of friends
paying a last tribute at the grave.
Picnic.
The young people in the vicinity
of Newton and Leadbetter’s store had
a picnic a few days ago, the first of
the season. That beautiful spot, Mag
nolia grove, two mileB below Coon
pond church, was the place selected,
but on account of rain the party re
paired to the house of Capt. McGreg-
near by, and quietly domiciled
themselves for a day’s enjoyment.—
Capt. McGregor and his accomplish
ed family took them all under kindly
protection, and everything passed off
pleasantly.
Th* firit big picnic of the season
will come off we learn, abont tho 1st
of April.
Along the & A A. Road.
We know of no section of country
more rapidly improving than that
through which the Brunswick A Al
bany Railroad passes. A recent trip
along the line revealed to us the fact
that property contiguous to the Road
has enhanced in value thousands of
dollars in the past two years. Much
Dew ground has been cleared and put
under cultivation; fruit culture has
received special attention; and the
fact is fully verified that the soil of
Worth, Berrien, Coffee and Ware
counties is as productive as any in the
State. We do not think it will be
very long before this will become a
section richly populated, and furnish
ing supplies to parts uo w considered
superior.
Our Spring Fair
It is th* duty of every good oitlzen
of Dougherty and surrounding coun
ties, who fools an Interest in the pro
gress of our section, to “talk up” the
approaching Spring Fair, and to ex
ert every effort to make it a grand
success. The programme arranged
by the officors of the Association is
one which will prove of unusual in
terest if the people will only come
promptly forward and lend their
presence and encouragement to tlio
enterprise. Stir yourself up, reader>
and see to it that you leave no part of
your work undone. Enter for a pre
mium, and see that your wife and
sweetheart does the same.
Walking is all the rage Jnst now,
and we know of a Walker who de
serves a passing notice. We think it
was about the year ’73, that Mr. Wm.
Walker, ono of Dougherty’s young
men, gathered up his .duds, .and with
a limited supply of money,, located
on the line of the Brunswick A : .AI-
bany Railroad, and entered into the
mercantile business. He first had for
a partner Mr. Jno. B. Higdon, who
afterwards left him in a flourishing
condition and went to Texas. Mr.
Walker rcmiined at A!apaha,and de
termined to make that point his home
By close attention to business, sobri
ety, and a steady determination to
win success, he has now reached an
enviable position. Popular with all
classes of citizens, surrounded by
every comfort of life, carrying a hea
vy stock of merchandise, employing
a number of salesmen, and running
three farms, which also afford em
ployment and support to several fam
ilies, his career is one of profit to
himself and usefulness to his fellow-
men. He has just begun the erection
of a large double-story business house
aud hall, which will be the handsom
est and most costly between Albany
and Brunswick.
Besides being a merchant, whose
success is so eminent, Mr. - Walker
stands the peer of any planter in
South Georgia, not as to broad acres
but as to success in close and atten
tive cnlturc. Besides producing each
year every product of edible supply,
he last year mad efow bales of cotton
on two.and <t half acres of South
Georgia pine land. Who can beat
it?
And now, young ladies, Will Walk
er can not he placed in the category
of Rowell, Ennis, O’Leary A Co., the
great pedestrians, who win their dol
lars by the talent of thoir muscle, nor
yet with the gay city gentry, but he
is a steady young bachelor, with an
energetic nerve, an honest face, a
warm heart, a happy home, aad—
don’t care to wed.

Our Water Facilities
It strikes us that Albany is most
admirably situated for a large manu
facturing town. We are in the very
heart of the cotton belt and the wool
growing regions. Our net work of
railroads penetrates every part of a
rich country,'and our wholesale trade*
already of no small importance, prom
ises to become of vast extent and im
portance.
Columbus is oppressed by railroad
monopolies, Augusta is so far remov
ed from this section of the country
that she cannot compete with offer
manufacturing towns. Albany has a
large section of this State and of
Florida and Alabama, to which she
could supply her goods. We have
every facility for becoming a large
manufacturing town, and to that
must we look for our most rapid and
substantial progress. The water
power in and around the city, fur
nished by two large creeks and the
river, is sufficient to run a number of
large factories. In the North it
would be considered an incalculable
advantage, and would be Used at
once. Our capitalist’s should look to
this matter. Our facilities are too
great to go undeveloped, and we
should take advantage of them before
other towns get the start of us.
Banting of a Residence
On Monday night last, the resi
dence of Mr. John A. Walters abont
four miles south of Albany, was en
tirely destroyed by fire. The firing
was done by an incendiary, but for
tunately for Mr. W. he was insured,
and we hope to see him build again
at an early day. He is not one of the
sort to be discouraged by misfortune.
Mr. Walters did not discover that
his hou9Q was on fire until the burn
ing was well under way. Ho was
gwakened about 12 o’clock by the fall
ing of burning timbers on the front
porch, and got out just in time to pre
vent serious injury to lilmself.
Tlie amount for which the building
was insured was $3,000. On the fur
niture there was no insurance. Among
other losses was a fine piano.
Mammoth Paint and OU noose.
The attention of the reader is di
rected to the advertisement of Mr.
Chris. Murphey, proprietor of the
largest Paint, and Oil store in Savan
nah, to be found in this issue of the
News. Mr. Murphy has been engag
ed in this line of business in that city
for a number of years, and lias built
up a very large trade. He is prepar
ed to furnish everything in this liuo
at prices as low as those of any house
South. Mill men, machinists, build,
era and painters are especially invited
to give him a trial.

Captain John C Rutherford
The lecture given by this cultivated
gent Ionian at Willingham’s Hall on
Wednesday evening, 19th inst, was
One of the most thoroughly enjoyable
we have everlistened to. The speak
er is possessed of a fine physique and
graceful manner. His subject, vast
in it* comprehensiveness, waa most
ably handled. ▲ gentleman of much
culture eaid to us that it gave him
th* best idea of Paris he had ever ob
tained. Carrying his audience along
with him, through the varied and in
teresting scenes of the great metrop
olis, he described them in beautiful
language, and ever and anon would
bring forth a ripple of delicious hu
mor or a.burst of passionate eloquence
His closing remarks about the “Con
federate Dead” were beautiful and
touching. Altogether, his lecture
was very fine, and those who heard
him enjoyed a rare treat We regret
that the audience was so small. Mr.
Rutherford came to Albany to deliv
er hit lecture for the benefit of the
Library Association, making
charge therefor, but offering hi* ser
vices as his contribution to the suc
cess of the Institution. Under such
circumstances, the pitiful array of
empty benches that greeted him, was,
to say the least, discourteous. The
Speaker no doubt felt it keenly, and
those who were present were deeply
mortified that the generous offer so
freely made, received so little show
of appreciation from our citizens.—
Tbe Library committee’s report, as
shown elsewhere, is a pitiful one, and
calculated to discourage those who
are making noble efforts to build up
such a worthy institution in our
midst. Those who failed to attend
the lecture, miesed a great deal of
enjoyment, and those who did attend
can assure Capt. Rutherford of their
high appreciation and thanks for the
pleasure afforded them.
On Saturday next Albany will have
the pleasure of another visit from one
of her most popular theatrical favor
ites, Miss Louise Pomeroy. Our peo
ple remember this charming actress
in her rendition of “The Adiron
dack*” here last winter.’ She is just
from an extended Southwestern tour,
having played a long engagement in
the St. Charles, New Orleans.
Miss Pomeroy will appear this
time in Shakespeare’s exquisite com-
ody, “As you like it," and we are safe
in saying that all who witness the per
formance will be regaled with a treat
that will not soon be forgotten. The
Vicksburg (Miss.) Herald of the 8th
inst., says:
“Louise Pomeroy came to Vicks
burg, we might say, unheralded.—
She was comparatively unknown to
our theatre-going public, and to this
fact may be attributed the failure to
fill the house to overflowing, even in
Lent. To the cultivated, Mis9 Pome
roy commends herself as one of the
most fascinating and faultless actress
es that we have ever had the pleasure
of seeing on tbe stage. Her interpre
tation of Shakspeare’s beautiful play,
“As You Like It,” assisted by the
John W. Edwards Combination, wa9
unmistakably fine. As Rosalind,
Miss Pomeroy displayed a thorough
and complete sympathy with the char
acter insomuch as to lose her own
identity for th* time being aud be
come the real, actual creation ot
Shakspeare. Her every movement
was the perfection of grace, her voice
sweet and musical, and her features
the interpretation of her language.
That she is one of the best, if not, iu
fact, the best actress that we have
seen on the boards of the Vicksburg
Theatre for many years, any one who
has a true appreciation of histrionic
talent, and who has seen Miss Pome
roy, will not for a moment deny.—
She waa more modest as to the scale
of prices than Kate Cl ax ton, but she
is as far superior to that much lauded
theatrical star as possible. We will
not attempt anything like a critique,
but will eimply add to what we have
already said, Vicksburg will do it
self credit by filling tbe Theatre to
overflowing at the matinee this after
noon and again to-night, when the
Company appear for the last time.—
Miss Pomeroy is well supported, but
one of them deserves especial notice—
Mr. W. H. Leake, an actor who de
serves to rank as a star, if he is not
already one. We have seen many
stars—so-called—on the boards of our
Theatre who were very far inferior
to Mr. Leake.”
The Southern Formers’ Monthly
The April number of this splendid
agricultural magazine U before us.—
Wo asked Mr. Estill, the proprietor,
last week how he expected to be sus
tained in such a costly enterprise.—
“Why,” said he, “we’ll make it go.—
Already success is assured. We have
every encouragement.” No such mag
nificent enterprise has ever before
beeu attempted in the South, and we

Observations by the Wayrifi* lesy mwt
On Monday afternoon we atepped
aboard Conductor Benaon’a train, and
after the usual energetic tug at the
bell line rolled out of Albany, bound
on a hurried jaunt down the Exten
sion, determining to see Leary and
Morgan in their every-day garb, and
to take a peep how thing* are pro
gressing agriculturally. The trip,
though a flying one, was much enjoy
ed, and we are heartily pleased with
the evidences of thrift we noticed ett

THE FEMALE TRAMPS B TOOMISTOLB
The Thomasville Enterprise of yes
terday says about the female tramp*
ia that city: .
Op Tuesday two women nnde their
appearance in town and m>uii com
menced a regular tour of the buaines*
part of the city soliciting aid from
the citizens. They had what pur
ported to be a certificate from the
Clerkef the Superior Court of Wayne
county, to tlie eflect that Hit) had
been burned out and were worihy
objects of charity. The certificate,
however, bad no seal to it. They
were well and respectably dressed,
and succeeded in deceiving several
before the l' were found out.
IV e did not learn what pames they
g* Te ? but the telegraph operator here
beautiful aud rich country as can be
foond anywhere in the limits of our
State. It outa in twain many and
many a beautiful farm, and ran*
through woods that only needs the
elbow grease ot man to be made sub
servient to the agricultural interests
of the country. .A stranger to onr sec
tion, who hat passed through by rail
and noticed the thousands of acres of
pine land lying along the line, would
not think that we had soda broad
expanse of rich country aa we have
South and Southwest of this little
city. We mean ne disparagement, ia
this remark, to what ia called the
“poor pine barren* of Georgia,” for
these same barrens (?) have been
made to give ont farm products in al
most unlimited quantities.
On the trip to Leary and from Lea
ry to Morgan we observed this fact:
The better and more thorough culti
vation of the land than any year since
the war. Thi* ia patent to all, and is
agreeably commented upon. The
fields remind us somewhat of well-
tilled gardens, and with this as a lens
we cau look through and imagine the
pulverized acres of old England.—
Planting is going on under favorable
auspices, and the season so far has
been an suspicions ene. The people
are cheerful and wear a contented
look, and without a doubt are work
ing hard and making good program.
They are better off right now, this
27thof March,than anytime since
the cessation of hostilities. They have
more provisions on hand, their male*
are fatter, and they have an upward
tendency in the scale of general proa-
perity. Some of onr Southern peo
ple, since the change of affhlrt, have
become chronic grumbler* and mal
contents, and thia has grown on them
so much that they are almost dead in
hope, dead in prospects, dead in the
aims of life, dead in all things save
the poor weak vitality that keeps aoul
and body together. Not this way,
though, iu Smith west Georgia. We
‘low country people” are cracking
our whips over the road of progress,
and we don’t move along tike we
were “old discontented continentals,
dressed in ragged regimentals.” Ex
cuse the travestie.

in the afternoon, and the parties left
the next morning. They are doubt

We have learned that they went from

Omdag to the FUr
Judging from the following, which
we find in Capt. HAn sell’s paper, the
Thomasville Enterprise,we judge that
he will bring his company to onr
Spring Fair. We hope to aee them
up:
“The Directors of the 8. W.Ga. Ind.
Association have offered a premium
of $200 for the best drilled military
company, and $75 for the second best
Tbe contest to come oil on the fair
ground* at Albany. Entry fee <10
to each company—three to-enter.—
Companies to drill by Upton’s Tactics
in th* school of the company and the
soldier. Members in uniform of any
company entered for drill will be ad
mitted to the grounds free.
Now,'come up Guards, and drill as
often as possible, and let’s go up and
tee what we can do. What say you t"

BARNES HOUSE.
Morris Mayer
Has one of tlie fiucst and most com
plete stocks of spring goods iu this
market. He has purchased nt exceed
ingly low figures, and proposes to lead
the van during the whole of this year.
It is a real treat to witness tho neat
ness of arrangement of his magnificent
stock, and no one should fail to givo
him a call. Messrs. Lorch, Brown,
Easters and Robinson are always
ready to wait on customers, and they
are determined to please the patrons
of the house.
Large stock of White Goods just
received by
Welch A Bacon.
Leary is still thriving. There are
four stores here. Boyd, McGregor,
Price and Turner, all well supplied
with general stocks of merchandise.
The society of the place ia of the moat
refined and cultivated nature, and
good churches and school advantages
are enjoyed.
That prince merchant, Capt. P. E.
Boyd, is using our columns this week
for a few words concerning good
goods and cheap goods. He has two
well-filled stores, one at Leary and
the other at Williamsburg. We do
not enter into details concerning
them this wqek. Read his advertise
ment aud go to see him
We are nnder obligations to frieuds
for courtesies, and especially to that
clever and agreeable gentleman, Mr.
W. T. Simmons, aud hit accomplish
ed lady, for true and genuine hospi
tality.
MORGAN.
An hour or eo at this place, enough
time to interview that thorough,
going officer, Mr. W. W. Gladden,
Judge Monroe and Beck, aud a few
others. Everything qnlet and peace
ful, except when a festive game of
croquet hold* the “balance of power”
in the village, and they all begin to
accuse each other of high handed
cheating. Iu such cases Dr. Briscoe
and Mr. Cartiedge are called on to
decide the points at issue, and with
the cheerfulness of the doctor and tbe
soft pleading of the lawyer, the
“bloody chasm” Is avoided.
