The Wool Market—Exciting Competition.
Local competition is causing much
excitement i’t the Albany wool mar
ket. Withiu the last few days the
price ran up from 24 to 27)f cents;
and some sold even higher than that
figure. In Macon it is quoted 18 to
25c. Tbe»e b'gh prices wilt bardly
prove lasting, and we look for a
townward tendency. The advantage
which Georgia wool enjoys Is that it
ta generally first in the market A1
ready the Western clip is creeping in,
.nd its abundsneo may capse a heavy

We gladly copy the following con

from his esteemed friend, Coj. H. II.
Jones, of the Macon Telegraph: “We
regret exceedingly not meeting our
life-long friend, Rev. T. G. Pond, rec
tor of the Albany church, who was
in this city yesterday. Mr. Pond is
one of the most accomplished schol
ars our time-honored State Univer
sity ever graduated. He is well
qualified to adorn almost any position
in church or State, aud, better still, is
a modest, quiet gentleman, who does
not pass for half he is worth. But
the writer knows and appreciates him
most thoroughly. Mr. Pond was a
member ot the last Board of Visitors
to the University of Georgia, and
rendered valuable services in the ex-
itnination of the papers of the senior
class. We wish bint ail happiness.”

The gifted author, Miss Anuie
Rivers Moseley, of Wosleyan Female

our thanks for a copy of her latest

love song, full of sweet sentiment
and beautiful music. Miss Moseley
is an accomplished musician and has
written a number of songs that have
decided merit. This last is greatly
superior to tbo average song written
now a days, and places its author
among the best of our Southern song
writers.
Sr. Bridget* Basket of Fruit.
We unintentionally failed to men-

waiter of fruit exhibited by Mr. F. L.
Bridge. Just think of ripe peaches,
apples, plums, figs, strawberries,
raspberries, and magnificent speci

May. They were grown by this in
dustrious gentleman on his planta
tion below our city; and are fair
specimens of the products of South

The peaches wero the “Early Al

The eppies, “Early Hunt,” ripened

ty, the harassing cares of daily toil
vanish before its magic influence and
sink into oblivion. Our hearts bent
in happy unison to the festive music;
the feelings ot our soul are aa joyous
and frolicsome as ita most lively
strains; gaycty takes Ihe place of so
berness, the beauty of tho ladles
smites with a more charming gi ace,
aud everything nods approbation.
We are assembled hercto-niglit not

band of neighbors and friends, whose
sparkling eyes greet welcome; w.iose
willing hands clasp welcome, and
whose ready hearts and ready tongues
say welcome, thrice welcome, fair

Next iu order came the mazes of
tlie merry dance, and “brave kniglitc
and ladye fair” tripped musical echoes
on the floor. Quite a number of mar
ried people were present, and tlicy
werc among tlie liveliest and sprigiit-
liest of them all. The voting ladies
were all dressed in exceeding good
taste. Beauty, loveliness, amiability
and a charming naturalness of man
ners characterized every one. Tlie
young gentlemen were devotion in
every sense of the word. At a late
hour tho doors of the spacious side
room were thrown open, and tlie com
pany was invited to march in to the
SUPPER TABLES,
Two long tables extended up ni.d
down, the room, and a look at them
revealed a feast of good things. What
a crowd waa there when they were
all seated, and how eagerly d;d they
all begin the affray against the many
viands. The supper was simply ele

scription? Amid the flow of the
sparkling wine, direct from the vine-
clad bills and valleys of the old coun
try, the spirit of wit and eloquence
moved the soul and tongue, and toasts
aud happy remarks were offered on
all sides.
Music again, the hail is once more
the scene of deuce, and this is kept up
until faint gleams in the East show
the first morning smiles of nuolher
day. How thoroughly cverybody
enjoyed the occasion, and how wc ail

tho wonderful fertility of soil, and
abundance, quantity and quality of
its products. There was not one
thing to mar the pleasure of tho oc
casion ; scarcely anything lacking to
make it a perfect success in what it
undertook to be—an exhibition of
tbo mechanical, agricultural and gen
eral industries of Southwest Georgia
It was a Fair of which Albany may
justly be proud; of which our sec
tion, nay our whole Stato may be
proud. And it is with unfeigned
pleasure that wo chronicle the fact
that it was so fine an exhibition. The
whole of Southwest Georgia contri
buted to secure this good end; but it
is simple justice to untiring energy,
well directed zcat and unselfish de
votion to say that to the indefatigable
President of the Association, Mr. L.
E. Welch, and the Board of Directors
was due, in great measure, the suc
cess of the Fair. They have officered
tlie Association ever since its or
ganization, and have labored for
its good with an enterprising,
energetic spirit that has been
wouderful aud praiseworthy. The
first spi ing fair and fall fair were
uni versnlf* conceded to he admirable
exhibitions,and these were mainly due
to their management and direction,
and they hare crowned their labors
by the greatest event of all—the Fair
which has iust closed.
To the Secretary, Mr. T. M. Car
ter, wo would also award great praise
for the prompt and efficient work he
has nt all times rendered the Asso
ciation and the people. He has per
formed his arduous duties faithfully
and to the entire satisfaction of all
concerned. In their choice of officers
the Directors ‘hare exercised great
wisdom and insured complete success
fur their Association as far as such
success depends upon skillful and en
ergetic management of affairs. In
conclusion we can but say that the
Southwost Georgia Industrial Asso
ciation may he cordially congratulat
ed upon the efficient officers
whom they have placed at the
head of affiiirs; and the country mav
wcll be proud ot the Association anil
its labors.

tlie Albany Jockey Club and its

race mile-heat, best two in three.—

observer was fully convinced, on first
appearance of the horses, that Lady
Gay would sweep the field; and tlie
officers of tlie Jockey Club had rea

blers anil the rider of Gay that Whirl-
w iml was to lie allowed to win tin
race. Tlie night previous pools had
sold live anil even ten to two in favor
of Whirlwind, and Gay was at a re
markable discount in side bets. The
judges therefore were warned to keep
a close watch. On the first heat
Whirlwind came in ahead. Judge
Pope, wlio bossed the Judges’ stand,
immediately ordered Gay’s rider to
dismount. Much uneasiness anil ex
citement was noticed In the vast

XVIII paragraph II. Tlie act of the
.ast Legislature, commonly called tiie
lury Act, repeals all exisling laws
up to that date, and hence, making no
exemptions, every one between tlie
ages ol 21 and GO liable to serve on
the jury, unless excused “in il, c w iso
discretion of the judge.” The same
question arose in ltfio and was defin-
ilelv settled by the Supreme Court iu
1871.
The Constitution of 1868 (silicic5,
section 12) declared that the General
Assembly shall provide hv law for
the selection of upright and intelli
gent persons to serve us jurors, etc.—
Thereupon the legislature in October
1869 passed a general law, which
made no exemptions.
At tlie December term (1870) of
Dougherty Superior Court li.S. Bust
and others, members of the Throna-
tecskn Fire Company of Albany, Ic
ing summoned to serve ns jurors,
claimed exemption under an act of
October 10th, 1868. The court refus
ed to discharge them and tlie movants
appealed to the (Supreme Court. That
tribunal at tlie July term 1871, Chief
Juslico Loch ratio delivering the opin
ion, sustained tlie court below. In
the course ot his opinion tho Judge
said: •
“The right of the Legislature to re
voke at any time, mo exemption
granted to liretneu or others trom
jury duty, was not in the nature of a
contract incapable of revocation by
subsequent Legislatures during the
term of its existence, but was a lcgis-
.ative privilege which it was compe
tent for any subscqneul Legislature
to repeal and annul.”
It may also be remembered that in
t87I a convention ot'tir-iueu I'roin ilm
different cities of the state was held
• n Macon, the chief object of winch
convention was to devise measures of
relief from that duty. T he Cult.m-
ous Department was represented in
.hat session by delegates and by the
tlon. Reese Craw ford, who w as sent
oy tlie Departmcut from here to as
sist the delegates. Owing to bis ex
ertions, assisted by others, a bill was
drafted, which was passed by the Leg
islature in the session of 18U-2,
which exempts a certain number ot
Active firemen from jury duty, and
which lias been tlie law prior to tbo
recent eiiactmeuls under tne new con
stitution.
It will be readily seen that the pres-
eut position of the firemen is exactly
analogous to their slatus, as regards
jury duly, after the passage of the
act of 1869, which aet was held Valid,
aud a repeal of all former lawsuit tho
subject, by tlie Supreme Court in tho
decision above quoted. it follows
then that the Legislature can only
grant relief in the premises, and heuco
the action of the Board of Control at
last night's meeting, reported else
where, is iu tlie proper direction.
Tiic action of tlie Board of Control
whicli is referred to, was tiic appoint
ment of a committee to confer with
the Representatives of Muscogee
county, for the purpose of introduc
ing at the next session of tlie Legisla
ture a bill to relieve Firemen from
jury service. On motion, tlie Chief
of the Department was added to tlie
committee, aud instructed to confer
with the departments in the State up
on the subject.
