We arc informed that the sanitary

coast, Brunswick, is not very good.
We do not want to lie accused of
'•meddling;’’ yet would inquire if
our informant is correct. Brunswick
should pay great attention to her
health regulations.
Prof. Lyon takes charge of a newly
organized band in onr sister city,

have his camera along, and will give
as good pictures as can be procured
anywhere in the State.
We often notice loose horses on onr
streets, sometimes rnnning fall speed

dangerous nuisance, aud owners
should be dealt with for allowing it.
This is of more importance than the

the lives of women and children.
Enterprise. At the festival in East
Dougherty last Friday night a cer
tain good madame was selling peach
es. Approaching a participant she
offers him some of her fruit. “I will
take six dozen if yon will peel them,’
says he. The bargain Is made, and
the fair lady, with the grace aud
naive simplicity of an Italian fruit
girl, commences her task. She work*
with skill and speed, and soon the
luscious peaches are ready for the
purchaser, sweeter by far for the pro
cess they have gone through. The
money is paid over, and it goes to
swell a little largerheralrendy pleth
oric “church pocket book.” This U
enterprise. The church that claim
that lady’s membership will never
want for a helping hand.

The rain had come down like a

praises for the glorious hlcssiug.—
Talleyrand said: “The greatest joys

A Indy of ihe 7th district of
Worth county, has become in

dementatinn was first noticed ahonl
a month ago, soon after the close of
a protracted meeting at Uuiou Bap

tended tl.e different services very
regularly, and seemed deeply im
pressed and troubled from their first
commencement. A short while lie-
fore the meeting closed site joined
the church. Going back home her
incoherent, tnaddeued and rambling
conduct was noticed by her husband
and children, and they became terri

She went raving about the house and

husband will swear this), she reads
any chapter in Ihe Bible readily, pro

we learn, are unable to put the place

The City's Health.
The health of Albany this year is
excellent. Our physicians say that
there arc very few eases of sickness
in town, and none of them of a seri
ous type. Albany will, in point of
healHifulness, compare favorably
with any city in the State, whether it
be among the mountains or not, and
tier condition is improving every
year.
Personal—Craps, Etc.
Mr. Burrel T. Kemp, of this city,
returned on Sunday last from an ex
tended trip through Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana and Texas. He
says the ccndition of the corn crop,
everywhere ho visited, except North
ern Texas, is deplorable indeed. Dry,
scorched and dying. Cotton, be say9,
is in about the same condition it is in
Southwest Georgia—very small and
backward. Mr. Kemp says a glance
at the corn fields west ot us is enough
to give any man the blues.
Our Library.
We arc glad to note the arrival of
many new and entertaining books for
the library. They have arrived, about
one hundred in all, and most of them
are in constant circulation. At last
the Library is beginning to he ap
preciated by our people, ami its vast
stores of knowledge and entertain

citizens will continue to give it libe

Condition of the Crops.
Our last week's estimate of the con
ditiou of the crops, based upon the
statements made to us by planters,
may lie again repeated tills week. We
have had several splendid rains since
our last. They have bean general
nml refreshing to this whole soctiou
of country, lint came too late for corn;
half that crop is gone. Cotton lias
grown rapidly since tlie first good
rain that fell, and if caterpillars hold
back, and showers continue to come,
there will probably be a good yield
of cotton. Good oat crops were
made, and if our planting friends
will again sow heavily the half corn
crop, thus supplemented, will take
them through.

CROPS IX WEST DOl’GHERTT.
BEARS AND GOOD PEOrl.E.
Wisdom's Retreat, July 18,1870.
Editori Albany yews:
I am just returning front a flying
trip to the Pocosons, and I must be
permitted to express a little surprise,
at the crop prospects. I had heard
nothing but the most gloomy rumors;
those hysterical forebodings will van
ish into thin air in the days of har
vesting. It is true I have seen corn
Uiat would not produce more than n
peck to the mile, and cotton that
can’t possibly average more than
three sound, healthy bolls to the acre,
bnt the crops generally arc not fail
ures. They have suffered greatly
from the dry weather, and most of
tlie corn looks like it had yaller jan-
ders; but it has the development and
vitality to produce frnitftilness un
der prestige of the showers now be
ginning to fait. The cotton of Col.
Lockett’s, along the railroad, and the
cotton I saw on the Hickory Level
place, will not fall behind the crops
of last year, judging from their pres
ent appearance. I regret to notice
that the Roberts place aud portions
of the English Company farm show
no signs of having received a rain.
The race of bears is not yet exter
minated in Dougherty. The devastn.
tiona and tracks of two—a grown
bear and calf—arc seen daily in the
Hickory Level corn. The Kiokee and
Chlckasawhatchie creeks at that place
run within a few hundred yards of
each other, and by way of economy
they have bnt one swamp between
them. This swamp, with its fens and
brakes and its dense and almost im
penetrable forests, has many a spot
on which the sun has not poured a
beam of light since, the. morning of
creation. Here Bruin and Lupus
might spend their days and raise their
families in perfect security, if they
would never trespass upon the prop
erty of others.
The neighborhood of Walker’s Sta
tion has some of the best and clever
est citizens in the land, but I will not
mention their names for fear they
might suspoct that I am trying to
pave the way to borrowing 'a little
monev. X.
TO ALBANY AND RKTl ttV.
“Ttilns- Seen, Heard nod Thimr.lit,' lb)3»
News Reporter.
IJerriftt tVumiv
Last Monday we took a trip tu Hie
pretty little cilv of Albany. Since
the It. A A. R. R. has assumed the po
sition of a first-class road by putttfng
on a daily train, w c did not know
whether Capt. Crovatt would put on
any extra “airs” or not, but on second
thought we discarded the idea as ab
surd, and on hoarding the train found
him tlie same aff-ibic gentleman that
he has always been, and “not stuck
up a bit.”
As the train glided over the smooth
rails Hie cheerful face of a farmer
would licam upon us occasionally, as
lie straightened up from “settin’out
draws,” to take a look in our direc
tion, “just to see whom he could see.”
At ail the stations along the road It
was evident Hint a new hope had
sprung up in the hearts of the peo
ple—a hope, begotten of the two
hours’ rain which fell at noon, that at
least enough corn would be made for
bread. Even Col. Mann, the hand
some agent of the B. & A. R. B. at
Albany, was jubilant over the Pluri-
an favor and rarifled atmosphere, and
a healthy, happy smile seemed to
have homesteaded his countenance.
On arriving in the citv the first
man wc met was Maj. Owens, the tire
less outside man of the popular firm
of S. Mayer & Glauber. Wc thought
wc had left him down the road en-
con raging sheep raising. We now
think he is first cousin to old Ubiqui
tous.
Wc had the pleasure of shaking Hie
fin of Mr. IV. E. Sutton, the happiest
looking young man in Albany: The
saddest hour in the writer’s irar life
was at Ftinkstowu, Maryland, when
the Yankces overpowered “Sut’t-and
invited him to spend a few mouths at
Fort Delaware: and the merriest one
was up in tin- Valley i.r Virginia,
when, on a certain cold night (about
midnight), we awoke to find “Sut”
marking ti*ue on the only quilt he
possessed. Tin; leaves had raught
tire and ignited tlie quilt, which was
tlie only thing between -.Sut”and Hie
“blue canister” of heaven; and ns it
was on fire in about fifteeu places,and
burning with a rapidity that was ag«-
nizing lo a man owning not another
quilt, it may lie interred that the
“marking lime” was lively! Yes.it
was very lively, e-peei»lly lis the vic
tim ofthe fire lictul was III hi- stock
ing feet, ami war socks were never
know n to lie free from ••gaps.''
Mr. Dull; who is doinga good hard
ware business iu Albany, gave us a
warm “grip” of his hand, and in
formed us that business was now
quiet—-that the merchants were en
joying a sort of summer vacation.
The Albany Library is in a flour
ishing condition. Wc thin!; the As
sociation acted wisely in electing a
young lady of refined taste as librari
an, aud predict for the institution
increased popularity aud usefulness.
“Neilly” Daniels, tlie gentlenianlv
book-keeper of the firm of Welch £c
Mitchell, is fast assuming proportion*
atdcrnianic. *A glance at his happy-
looking physiognomy isa panacea for
“grum” feelings.
“Pomp” Gilbert, the courteous
salesman—inside and outside—of the
great drug house of LE. & U. E.
Welch, is much improved in health
since we last saw him. Such ypting
men as “Pomp” deserve well of the
world, and wc wish hint an abun
dance of the good tilings of life.
“Daddy” Jelks, the founder, we be
lieve, of Ty Ty, is now merchandis
ing in Albany. The intense heat of
the past two months docs not seem to
have diminished his flesh. Mr. Jelks
is popular with everybody, and de
serves success. ‘ C
On the return trip Tuesday morn-®
ing we had an opportunity of seeing
the condition of crops, and wc regret
to say that Uiey are poor. We aaw
acres and acres that would not yield
a peck of corn to the acre.
“Bud” Mock has the best corn we
saw in Dougherty county. His cot
ton is tolerable good.
We saw from a distance that our
old friend, Mr. John V. Mock, la
erecting a framed dwelling. When
the “house-warming” comes offi Bud,
we want to be “on hand.”
