A Splendid Fashion Establishment
Albany can now boast one of the

fashion world.
Wc do not sec why it is that any
lady should send an order away from
Albany, while they have at th >ir very
door such a well selected stock nnd
low prices as those offered by Mrs.
Golinsky. She deserves patronage
and encouragement. Read he.- grand

urge upon him the utmost prudence !
until his health is restored. We iu- *
sist that he will not allow his mind to
be disturbed on account of his ina
bility to serve the church ns he would
do if sound in body. “It is the Lord’s
doing,” aud we feel that it has
brought us under stronger obliga

Albany is deeply interested in th?
Improvement and progress o( all the
counties aud sections around her;
and everything she can do to facili
tate the one aud promote the ether
will redound to her own welfare. It
is to her interest to keep all her road
ways in the very best order, to bridge
water ways, fill up bogs, smooth over
gullies, and do everything to make
communication between her and the
surrounding country easy and profi
table. We doubt uot that there are a
good number of creeks throughout
thi9 section that need good bridges;
and our city will reap the benefit of
her enterprise if she will construct
the needed passways and keep them
in order. Albany has immense
opportunities, and need only be
prompt and progressive in her
methods of taking advantage of
them.
The spirit of progress is not nar
row but liberal, and looks to the de
velopment of one section as the inter
est of others. The advantages of Al
bany are being more widely noticed,
and her prosperity is assured if bet-
own pooplo will only be alive to the
true Interests of Iter own and the
neighboring sections.
Prof. Lyon is now ready and able

We mean Lyon’s Photographic Gal-
lery. Since the Professor’s return
from the “Land o’ Flowora,” he lot-
re-opened at his old stand _on Wash
ington street, and is better prepared
t ban ever to give genuine and thor
ough satisfaction in tho pictorial line.
He will be happy to aee his old at
well as new friends, and will give
them as good work a* can be turned

The Passover.
The Hebrew feast of the Passovett
“Pcsach,” began Monday afternoon.
It is one of the three great 'festivals
of the Jewish Church. Under the re
quirements of the Mosaic law all
males of a certain age assembled at
erusalem to observe this festival, iu
order that their piety and devotion
might be strengthened and social in
tercourse and brotherly love confirm
ed. It was upon the recurrence of
the Passover and under the inspira-
• ion of its associations that tlie re-
lowned Jewish warrior, Judas Hac-
abee, impressed upon the minds ot
itis valiant sons and people, the histo
ry of the redemption of Israel front
Egyptian bondage, and to his teach
ings may be ascribed the heroic and
successful struggles of the Asmoneans
against the powerful legions of Syria
and Rome. Since the destruction of
the second temple the Passover has
been observed as a purely religions
ceremony. The feast (with its cere
monies) is generally observed by
every Jewish family throughout the
world, and (like the New Year and
Day of Atonement,) is regarded as.
among tiic most sacred days in the
Jewish calendar.

THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION' INTERVIEWS
PIUSES JONES
The Coming Cotton Crop
In the personal column this morn
ing wo notice the passage through
our city of Mr. Primus W. Jones, of
Baker county, en route to tho up
country. As soon as bo reached At
lanta one of the “patent pumps” of
tiic Constitution tackled him for the
purpose of an interview upon the
condition of the cotton crop of South
west Georgia. The talk was as fol
lows :
“When did you leive your planta
tion ?’’ asked the reporter.
“I intended to leave there last Fri
day, but did uot get off until the day
followiug. I wanted to sea if the
lVo*t was going to injure my crops.”
“So yon had a frost, did you?” re
marked tho reporter.
“Oh, yes; only a light one, how
ever.”
“Did-you think that it injured your
cotton ?”
--I hardly think that it did, although
i p to the time I left home, I could
not tell anything about it. I want to
get home as early as possible to find
..ut how I have been handled by the
unwelcome visitor. 1 have succccd-
• d in getting out the first bale every
year since the war, with the excep
tion of three, and one of these was
ill-laved by my wagon breaking down
white on the road to the town where
1 had shipped it, aud the other two
t ears 1 did not push for tiic price.—
If l succeed in getting out the first
bale this year. I intend to rest quiot-
iv upon my oars, and let some one
oj.se come iu for a share of tiic honor
of gelling out the “pioneer bale.”
Mr. Primus Jones is a brother of
Mr. Otis .limes, formerly of this city
lmt who, for the past three years, lias
linen planting near Grantville, on the
Atlanta and West Point railroad. Ho
one of the most successful planters
in the State, and has numerous friends
aud well wishers iu Atlanta.

Your correspondent went on a

tour ot observation among the con-
tiguousfarms. Mr. J. L. Dozier com
menced planting cotton on the 28th

booming up and the rich soil and
splendid preparation of thu farms
owned by him give promise of a
fruitful harvest iu the days to come
THE HICKORY LEVEL FARM,
(now known as Greenland, because
w is under the supervision of Mr.
Green Cross,) is ottu of the best and
most productive plantations iu
Dougherty county. With twenty-
four mules, during the year 1878, Mr.
Gross made over three hundred oales
of cotton on six hundred acres of
laud, betide* five thousand bushels of
corn, peas, potatoes, etc. The place
has advantages this year it never pos
sessed before, and the vicld will un
questionably be much greater. Mr.
Cross is oue of the best farmers iu
Southwestern Georgia, aud a genial,
kindly genllemau. I would i.keto
