FLLVT RIVER.
Something About Navigating ft.
Thn Newton and Bninbrldgc boat
has been discussed at length, up and
down the river. Albany did antici
pate purchasing a boat of her own to
ply the waters from (Ids point to Ap
alachicola, but -lie seems to have
dropped the enterprise temporarily.
A representative of the News spoke
to one of our prominent warehouse-
man on the subject the other day.
Said he: “We do not care to work
against Itaiiilirldge particularly. A
oinpcting line of boats would hare
n tendency to drive a cutting, unwise
and illegitimate business, and wo pro
pose to pursue the even tenor of our
way and offer inducements that can
not fail to draw custom. Wo shall
begin nt once to construct cotton box
es like (host we used prior to and
during the war, and have them ready
to float in case the railroad monopo
lies continue their efforts to oppress
At the proper time we expect to
have boats, but don’t need them just
now.”
Hon. Wm. E. Smith, Representa
tive in Congress front this District,
wus in our office the other day. Said
lie: “There is no doubt but that Flint
river will be made navigable from
its mouth to Montezuma. The De
partment never gave up a project of
this kiud when once fairly started
and found as practicable as this. Be
sides what has already been expend
ed on the river, 114,000 will be placed
in the hands of the engineers this
year, and they promise to push the
work vigorously.”
Captain Smith thinks Albany and
the people along tho river should
utilize the water, even in its present
shapo. He favors an Albany boat,
and congratulates Newton and Bain-
bridge upon their enterprise.

RAINFALL AT LAST!
Cool and Refreshing—Farmers More Hopeful
On Sunday afternoon last dark
clouds and lightning indicated show
ers in the plantations west and north
of U9, and on the next day a splendid
refreshing rain came down upon the
dry, scorched and burning gardens of
Albany. 8ince that time we have
been blessed with several excellent
seasons, aud we understand they
have been general in this section.
Iu conversation with many plant
ers we gleaned their opiniouB as to
the present condition of the crops. It
is thought that fully one-half the
corn crop is a total I09S. Cotton, al
though somewhat damaged by the
drouth, promises fair results, and
good seasons frout now on will make
a crop,
The mercury fell to a very moder
ate figure, and the weather has been
very pleasant since the first shower
that broke the heated terra.
While the rains have been general,
not enough has yet fallen, and the
earnest hope of every one is that the
showers will continue.

“Where the Wicked Cease from Troubling,

Now reposes ono of the founder*
of the city of Albany. Joseph 8.
Smith, of llahway, New Jersey, is no
more, and of him how truly can the
older citizens of this and (unrounding
country who knew him, say: “There
goes another specimen of the noblest
work of God—an honest man.”
In early youth he left his native
State. New Jeraey, from under the
shadow of the old elm at Wood-
bridge, and located in Columbus,
Ga. The Cherokee war theu burst
over the town, and although reared
the strict school of tho Society of
Friends, the front ranks of the little
band of volunteers, guarding the
banks of the Ocmulgee, was never
without him. HU brother-in-law,
Judge A. Shotwell, with Col. Tift,
founded Albany, and the bard earn
ings of the young merchant wree
spent lu laying off its streets and keep
ing the struggling town afloat. From
that time until now he has pever
ceased to appear as one of tho tax
payers of onr town, and never has
been In default. A gentleman of the
olden time In all that went to consti
tute the gentleman, a true, constant
friend, his place for ages will remain
vacant, until time shall merge into
eternity; and theu the good, the no
ble and pnre of God’s creation shall
fill their vacant chairs. A devout
and humblo follower of Jesus, he
passed away on the 3d of July, 1879,
leaving to his surviving family and
friends a spotless memory to dwell
on. Peace to his ashes, peace to the
home made desolate by his departure
apd peace to the sharer of his joys
and sorrows, Is the prayer of a sin

struck just in front of the dwelling

them on to two cribs and the gin
bouse, leveling all three, and then
down half a mile fence, when It went
up and disappeared, doing no further
damage as far as we can learn. Mr.
Arnold estimates his loss at $1200.

“HOW AND WHY IT Br
Editors News: In reading your
account of Macedonia church, pub
lished in your paper of Junc2Cth
inst-, we see a query propounded by
some young lady, which you over
heard, “How and why Is it Neal
Walker and G. M. Bvncs don’t mar
ry#” You wish the questiou answered
by some young ladies of their ac
quaintance. While wc are not skilled
as the god of riddles in solving ques
tions, yet wo will try and answer. As
it is well known, there hare been
scores of ladies who have “set their
caps” for these two “old baches,’' hut
never could catch them. We think
tho reason they don’t marry is because
they are too hard to suit, that’s the
long and short about it. They can’i
expect for ns women folks to be per
fect in everything, now can they
Messrs. Editors? They ought to be
willing to take us for good or worse,
and that’s onr opinion. We are ready
any time. Fly to our arms, dear
boys, they are open for you. Oh, do
make baste, and come along to us.
