many respects far superior—to those

to mix and mingle with what they
term “common country people.”
The theatrical season promises to
be a lively one. Mr. Willingham, the

BIRTHDAY*FESnVAL
It. 8. Rust, Jr., Entertains Us Relatives aad
Young Friends.
“I love God anil little children,”
said the German philosopher, Rich
ter. In this sentence i9 epitomised
the feelings oi the world. Loving
them bocause we love the time when
we were one of them, it is always a
delight to hear and read of their en
joyment. Mr. Richard S, Rust, jr.,
tendered his relatives and youthful
compatriots a superb little dinner last
Saturday afternoon, at the residence
of his father, in honor of his fourth
birthday. About thirty lads and las
sies, smiling and full of fun and
cheer, assembled around the festal
board, and partook of an elegant re
past, prepared Just especially to meet
their tastes. Richard presided at the
table with the grace of a little King,
and did the honors benignly. After
dinner various amusements were In
order. That sweet and charming
game, “Many, Many Stars,” wa9 kept
going for a long while, and its ascu-
lating pleasures thoroughly enjoyed
by the innocents. Many delightful
returns, Master Richnrd, for yourself
and friends.
BAT AND BALL.

A match game of Base Ball will

izen of Georgia, is at present in our
section holding Ministers’ Institutes
for colored preachers. He is under
appointment of tho Home Mission
Board of the Southern Baptist Con
vention, with office at Marion, Ala.,
and is doubtless doing good in his

Zion, Spring AA r eldon, Baconton and
Bcthsheda churches, and is now
holding one with the preachers of
Albany. Air. Robert has a number of
relatives in our section who are glad
to seo him.
A Barbecue and Fish Fry
Mr. J. AA r . Fowler will accept our
thanks for an invitation to attend a
barbecue and fish fry at Spring Pond,
AVorlh county, to-morrow. A party
of about twenty has been invited, and
glorious timo is expected. The Al
bany crowd will go out this evening.
The N'ewtfli) Boat
Howell AYilliams, of Baker, was in
our city yesterday. He says the
Newton boys have backed out from
going to New Orleans after the boat
on account of yellow fever; but Capt.
Fry, who is to commaud her, will go
alone, and the boat wilt soon be on
the Flint.
Ready for the Cotton Business
The old reliable firm of N. & A. F.
Tift & Co. make an important an
nouncement in this issue of the News.
Be sure and look at it. They propose
to do a lively business this season,
and they iiave never yet failed to ac
complish their undertakings.
Musical Convent loo.
The next session of the South Gcor
gia Musical Convention has been
postponed from tho 19lh of Scptem
her to tho 26th inst. This is caused
by the Southern Convention assem
bling in Hawkinsville on the first
mentioned dato. A largo crowd is
expected at the session, and doubt
less everybody will have a harmoni
ous time.
ALBANY'S PROSPERITY
An Idemise Over List Year of flOtJU 75
Fact* from Ihe Tax Books.
AVe have carefully taken from the
city tax books the statement publish
ed below. It is a good showing for
Albany, and gives positive evidence
that she is on the high road to pros
perity. This statement does not in
clude the great improvements which
have been made In our city since the
1st of April last; and it is quite cer
tain that next year's digest will swell
theso figures enormously. New build
ings are still going up, and we hear
of a good many more in contempla
tion.

Mr. J. O. Parks, of Dawson.
This accomplished and genial young
barrister spent several days in our
city last week. Mr. Parks is ono ot
the best lawyers of the State, his legal
ability being acknowledged far and
near. As an orator, for one of his
age, he can’t be excelled. A thorough
gentleman, courteous and gentle in
his demeanor with all, he is deserved
ly popular. Ills name is spoken
prominently in connection with the
next Bnnatorsliip of his district.
Mr. Parks’ accomplished wife, tiee
Miss Eola Allen, accompanied him,
The Albany Guards,
AVe take the following from the
Early County News: “Tho Atlanta
Constitution reports a prominent of
ficial of the United States army, who
witnessed the competitive military
drill at Rome, as having said that the
Gate City Guards, of Atlanta, are,
without doubt, the most perfectly
drilled military organization in the
Union. AVe cannot accept that opin'
ion as correct until the Albany Guards
have had a showing.”
The Guards salute you, Judge
Fleming, and thank you for the high
compliment.
A Caved Ditch—A Live Burial.
Ou Tuesday while the street force
was at work deepen ing and enlarging
the big new ditch on State street the
banks suddenly caved in, covering
two of the meu, and thus burying
them alive. Their fellow workmen
took hold of the situation at onco and
by rapid work succeeded in excavat
ing the smothered couple. They were
badly scared, but not at all hurt.—
AVork on the ditch continues, and the
terra cotta jiipes will soon be in work
ing order.
Mistake.
AVe notice some of our State ex
changes arc saying that this makes
tho sixth year in succession that Mr.
P. AV. Jones, of Baker, has brought
in tho first Georgia bale to market.—
This is a mistake. Three yoars ago
Hon. V. A. Clegg, of Lee, “got ahead”
on the first bale business, his bag, if
we mistake not, coming in just a few
hours ahead of tho wagon bringing
in ono from Mr. Jones’ plantation.

The Crops—Plenty ot Rata—Caterpillars, Etc
“Well, we’ve bad one day without
rail,,” was the sighing remark of a
planter Monday night; and that’s the
first escape we’vo made from a show
er in some time. The plantations all
seem well dampened, and some com
plain that the rains have caused seri
ous damages to cotton.
Mr. J. AV. Fowler, of Worth, was
in our office on Tuesday, and, in an
swer to our interrogatories as to the
condition of his farm, he said: Cot
ton growing and fruiting finely, flies,
but no caterpillars as yet; sugarcane,
potatoes, etc., most excellent He ap
prehends no serious trouble by cat
erpillars, although they have appear
ed on a plantation near him.
Mr. G. M. Bacon says there are
thousands of caterpillars on his cot
ton. He sent out a gang of “trash
hands” the other day with small tin-
cups, and offered them ten cents a
cup for all tho worms they gathered.
In a few minutes one of the little fel
lows ran back to empty enp No. 1.
Mr. Bacon says he saw bankruptcy
staring him in the face, called in the
trash hands, changed tho proposition
to ten cents a pint, and turned his
whole force to picking off the woi-ni9.
This shows to what extent they are
troubling him.
AVhile it is true that the corn crop
lias been cut off very seriously, we
have only found a few planters who
will have to buy, They will all plant
heavily of small grain, and thus make
ends meet.
Mr. John Neundorfer, of East
Dougherty, came into our office yes
terday, bringing a half dozen stalks
of cotton from different plantations.
They are poorly frnited; the bottom
crop has many imperfect bolls. The
top crop is filled with squares, bat
Mr. N. informs us that caterpillars
are at work by the thousands, and
will entirely destroy the upper
squares and bolls. AVhile the weed is
rich and flourishing, and would pro
duce well if left unmolested by the
terrible worms, Mr. Neundorfer says
he and his neighbors, do not expect
to make a half crop.
Col. Tip Jones, Messrs G. M. Vin
cent, W. S. Tison and J. D. Hope, of
the Warwick district of Worth, came
In to see us yesterday. They are all
progressive farmers, full of energy
and always cheerful. They are of
the opinion that their farms will pro
duce an average crop of corn, cotton,
cane, peas and potatoes, and don’t
seem to fear starvation at all.
Boa. Partita D. Davit.
An intelligent Atlanta correspond
ent of the Hawkinsville Dispatch in
writing of the Legislature, etc., dls-
cants upon the wild land frauds. In
speaking of the latter, and of the ef
fort to bribe Baker’s representative,
he says; “Parish D. Davis is a man
of too much oharaoter to have been
approached in any such way. He
was reared in Baker county, which
he so faithfully represents, is qnite
young man—not more than 25 or 30
years of age. He is of rare sooial
qualities, which makes him many
friends. His attachments are strong
aud hit friendships strong as steel.—
His honor untarnished and ump
proachable to the seductive argU'
ments of gold. His prompt and in
dignant refusal to sell his conscience
is worthy of all commendation. May
prosperity and happiness attend him,
and when he becomes a paterfamil
ias, may he be the worthy sire of os
worthy a son as he.” To all of which
we say, “amen.”

A DBEA&m. DISEASE AT HOBOKEN, ON
- THE B A A R R
A Talk with Dr Cromwell
Br. B. M. Cromwell, of our oily,
was called to Hoboken, 43 miles thin
side of Brunswick, on Saturday last,
to investigate an epidemic which is
raging in that community. AVe ap
proached the Doctor on his return
and questioned him as to the disease.
News—Doctor, what’s the tronblc
at Hoboken ?
Dr. C.—An epidemic of a very
grave form of diptheria.
ews—How many deaths have oc
curred ?
Dr. C.—There have been eleven
deaths out of twenty-two cases. Al)
tho eases have been amongst the
whites, except the last, which is a ne
gro child eighteen months old. This
case was seen for the first time on
Monday morning. In addition to lb
there were three other negro children
complaining, who will probably de-
velope it.
News—Do you consider the disease
epidemic there?
Dr. C.—Yes, the disease is now
epidemic; but It has undoubtedly ex
isted iu that country sporadically for
many years. The epidemic is as yet
confined to a small scope of country
embraced in a radius of one and a
half miles around Hoboken.
News—Can it be checked ?
Dr. C.—It is difficult to say. If the
well wili cease ail intercourse with
the sick, and if they will intelligent
ly cleanse and disinfect their premi
ses, houses and clothing, it probably
can be; otherwise it will continue
until the disease spends itself and
dies out.
News—Is it entirely confined to
children?
Dr. C.—Up to this time it has been
very nearly so, only one adult having
died from it—a young lady of about
eighteen.
News—Is there dauger of a spread
of the disease ?
Dr. C.—I think there is, la that lo
cality.
New Edition of Major
. Jones’ Courtship.
The hirers of genuine American
htiinur will be pleased to learn that
Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Brother, the
well known Philadelphia publishers,
have in press and will shortly issue a
new and enlarged edition of “Major
dones’ Courtship,’’ a work that has
been universally accorded the reputa
tion of being one of Ihe very best hu
morous books of the century, as since
its publication, more than thirty years
ago, it has held a position at the head
of Peterson’s Humorous Library and
has passed through numerous edi
tions, having had a larger sale than
any other American book of its clast.
AVhile other books of humor, many
of greater pretensions, have had trans
ient popularity and passed into obli
vion, the quaint narration of the
Georgia rustic’s courtship is as fresh
to-day and as popular with the pres
ent generation of readers as it was
with those who first welcomed it to
the world of letters over a quarter of
a century ago.
This fact, a most practical evidence
of ita enduring popularity, has in
duced the Messrs. Peterson to effect
arrangements witli iu accomplished
author (our worthy and veteran se
nior) for the publication of a new, re
vised and improved edition, embrac
ing new matter, and beautiruily illus
trated with twenty-one full page en
gravings. AVben it is considered that
this edition has had the careful revis
ion of the author, will be rendered
most attractive by additional scenes
and incidents, and wili be printed
from new plates, on fine paper, it is
reasonable to predict for it an almost
unprecedented sale, surpassing that
which greeted Us first appearance.—
The new edition will be a handsome
'volume, comprising about 300 pages,
and will be bound in cloth and paper.
In the latter form the price will Ira
only sevcntv-flve cents.—Savannah
News.
Our Congressman.
WHAT HE SAYS OF A CERTAIN UTTER
ANCE AND OF THE FUTURE.
Reporter—AVe learn, Captain, that
a certain gentleman, now in Atlanta
has given forth the utterance that yon
have “come down” in his favor, and
thnt it is freely talked about in that
city and elsewhere. How about it?
Smith—I think it too soon to com
mit myself to any course. At the
proper time I will announce my
views to the party. You can rest as
sured my course will be prompted by
a desire for thq best interests of the
country and our party. No one is
authorized to say I will or will not
be a candidate, and if l am not a can
didate, tho party nominee, whoever
he may be, shall have my support.
Neighboring Notes.
The Chaplain of the Senate prays
for the President especially, and the
Senators, but leaves out Co). Harris,
the Secretary. Maybe lie thinks Col.
Bill does not need it.—Atlanta Dis
patch.
Primus AV. Jones, of Baker county,
who recently came to the front for
the sixth time with the first bale in as
many consecutive years, is credited
with saying that the crops in Baker
and adjoining counties this season
will be the largest of any year since
the war.—Atlanta Constitution.
Judge \V. C. Gill, of Lee county,
dropped into onr sanctum on Friday.
He gives a very gloomy account of
crops there; that he has traveled all
over the county, and is certain that
the corn crop is cut off one-half, cot
ton is small and looking good but
will possibly make three-fourths of a
crop.—Amcricus Republican.
Our people remember Col. AVra.
Harrison, of Qnitman county. The
Atlanta Dispatch says of him: Col.
AVra. Harrison goes straight to the
mark in his speeobes. There is no
maudllng sentiment about him, and
no speaking for the gallery, but to
carry conviction as to the best action
for the State, regardless of bis popu
larity and subsequent return to the
Senate.
A Forsyth correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution writes of “A
AVorthy Man,” and speaks aa below
of Judge G. M. Stokes, of Leesburg.
Judge Stokes Is Indeed a worthy
man, and we are prond to claim him
as a neighbor iu an adjoining county.
Too much cannot be aald of such
men. No more comment; read the
letter:
Forsyth, Ga., Angnstl.—Judge G.
M. Stokes and his estimable lady, of
Leesburg, Ga., are making their an*
nual visit here. Judge Stokes was
reared in Monroe county, and when
a young man moved to Southwest
Georgia. A friend here “lent him a
helping hand,” and with hit untiring
energy and good judgment he amass
ed a fortune and became a prominent
and useful citizen of his adopted
home. A few years ago be sent hU
kind old friend a check for five hun
dred dollars, which came as timely to
him as was his favor to his fHena ot
by-gone days. He has educated twen
ty orphans since the war, who are
useful members of society and who
honor and revere their benefactor.

A poem entitled “To My Mule” in
the Louisville Courier-Journal, doses
with those lines:
Be now, my mule, your mstin nubbins munch.
And I will trim yourUll the while you lunch;
and the Chicago Tribune thinks that
the breaking off of the poetry at the
point where the writer begins to trim
the mule’s tail ta proof that ho was
then and there “kickod up about 300
steps of the golden stair.”
