much. The refreshments were abun

greatly by pleasant social conversa

The Library and Its Fair.
The Library is in a flourishing con
dition. After arduous efforts it ha>
been placed on a firm footing, and h
already a successful institution, scat
tering its fund of eutcrtalnment and
instruction among our people. The
great need of the Library is funds l.-
keep It supplied with books and to
meet the necessary expenses. For this
purpose the directors have determin
ed to hold a Fair, commencing on th:
23rd and continuing till the 27th of
■September. They Intend to make it
a grand affair and a complete success
and for this purpose they call upon
tiie citizens and merchants of Albany
for aid. They want donations of any
and every kind of article that will
help make the fair a success. The
merchants can secure from tbe r
friends various articles which can Is
old at the fair, and the ladles can
mako many articles In their line that
will add much to the attractiveness
and success of the undertaking. Ld
everybody help tha Library. Every
citizen recognizes its good influence
and Albany is prond of snch an insti
tution. Let her peoplo make a strong
and united effort in Its behalf. The
friends of tho Library everywhere
arc invited to contribute articles for
the Fair, and all contributions will
be gratefully received.
Messrs. Jacques St Johnson,
through their salesman, Mr. B. F. Jo-
scy, has presented the Library a bar
rel of “Bedford Beauty” flour, to he
sold at their Fair in September. This
generosity 19 timely and much appre

The Caterpillar.
It is an established fact that the
caterpillar is here, and has come to
stay. We hear of them in large
quantities iu Mitchell, Baker and
Dougherty counties, and every day
new reports of theirappcarance reach
This is the first crop, and is said
to be an unusually large one. We
have not heard of any damage done
by them as yet, but as the plant is
still very rich and tender, it is rea
sonable lo suppose that they will do
considerable injury to tho crop.

The trucks, with about seven hund

to the ground and falling upon him,
producing severe internal injuries.
Though improving, he is still suffer
ing and not able to be about. We
hope toon to teo him entirely well.
ANOTHER BARBECCE! ’
And a First-Class One at That.
The people in that portion of Worth
county north of the Isabella road,
aud on the west line of this county,
gave a barbecue aud fish fry at
Spring Lake, on last Friday.
Thu matrons and young ladles, the
old and the young men, the “laddies”
and the “lassies”; in fact, the whole
neighborhood seemed to be out, bent
on having a good time. The prepa
rations were on a large and libera]
scale, and the supply of everything
was really extravagant and of tho
very best the country afforded.
The ladies, God bless them, took n
deep interest in making the dinner
and day a succe s, and furnished
bread, pies, cakes and oilier good
eatables for Die dinner, und their
smiles and encouragement to make
the day a real pleasant one. When
ever they set their heads on a good
time, they are bound to have it.
The meats were of the very choic
est, and cooked in the best and latest
style known to the art barbecue. There
was the greatest abundance of barbe
cue, fish and other nice things for a
first-class dinner, which the large and
orderly crowd seemed to enjoy very
much.
After dinner and a little rest, the
young folks assembled at the house
of Mr. Aultman, near by, where they
they engaged In a splendid and en
joyable dance.
Such a nice time at this neighbor
hood had last Friday ought to ha en
joyed by all others, at least once a
year. It brings the people together
socially, aud makes them better
neighbors; it makes them enjoy life
more and better, and encourages the
love aud spirit of making oach other
happy in this life. Many, many hap
py returns of such a day to that good
people.
It was the pleasure of the writer,
with a few others from Albany, to be
present on the occasion referred to,
and, for our little party, we return
thanks for such a splendid dinner
and good time generally.
The License on Shows.
As the thcntrical season is approach
ing, we would again urge upon the
city council to reduce the amount ot
license charged by the city upon all
theatrical exhibitions. The present
price is $10 for each performance.—
In Macon where the audiences are
much larger it is only $5, in Americus
$2.50, and in Thomasville the same.—
The managers of the troupes who
come here complain at the high price,
and say it is higher than they have to
pay' any where else. Many refuse to
bring their companies here, because
they consider the license unjust. Mr.
Jno. W. Edwards, the popular mana
ger of the “Louise Pomeroy” Combi
nation that so delighted our people
last winter, has six companies under
his charge the present eeason, all of
whom he would like to bring to A1
bany, but he complains that the li
cense is entirely too much. We hopo
that the Council will at once reduce
the price of the tax. They surely do
notwautto drive away amusements
from our city', but rather encourage
them to come. Tiie city incurs no
expense in allowing *ho companies to
give their exhibitions, aud we think
the receipts from such a source would
be largely increased by reducing the
rate. We hopo they will lessen the
tax.

Last week, a negro while digging
out a well on Mr. John Walter’s place
began suddenly yelling out at the top
of his voice for the bucket to he let
down, which was quickly done, and
the darkey was drawn up to tho top
of tho well trembling and panting
with eyes white as cotton and big as
saucers. Investigation revealed
swift underground stream rushing
along nndernoath the spot where the
negro had been digging. There was | Go.'
only a thin crust of earth between the
negro and the stream, and it sudden
ly began to give way. The darkey
could see and hear the water rushing
below him and firmly believed that
he wae about to be plunged Into the
veritable Styx and hurled along to
the Plutonian regions. He escaped
without injury but his tools sank in
the water and were lost.

THE GAME.
At 4 o’clock the game was cailed (
with the Smlthvllle boys in the field,
and Mr. J. F. Johnson as umpire.—
The Olympics scored, in their first in
ning, four rounds and were then put
out, when Phcenlx came to the bat.—
Mr. J. G. Butts b ing the second one
called, came -promptly to hi* place
and ’’struck a foul.” which very un
fortunately tlrnek the umpire in the
face, seriously Injuring him, and
thereby rendering It impossible for
him to serve auy longer, and he was
uperieded by Mr. Alex Forrester.
This accident very much discouraged
the Smlthvllle boys, and it was no
ticeable all through the game that
they were not by any means playing
as they could. The Olympic club
have in the person of Mr. Joe Terry
a verv fine pitcher, and one that it
would be very difficult to excell. Had
the pitching of the two been at
all equal and had no accident happen
ed during the progress of the game
we are confident that the result would
have been quite different. As it was
the Olympics gained the victory in a
score of 42 to 12. This you see is rath
er a severe defeat; but the Phoenix
boys say that though the Olympics
beat them playing they are well sat
isfied that they did not exceed them
in enjoying themselves; and this we
kuow to be true. .
the ball
at night, at the residence Of Mr. Cal
laway, was indeed a brilliant affair.
There being Just a sufficiency of ladies
and gentlemen present to make eve
rything pleasant. The supper de
serves everything that can be said in
its praise. Mis9 Eula Page presented,
with a sweet little speech, to the
Olympic club a beautiful cake, made
for the occasion by Mrs. Dr. Love.—
Mr. Clif Clay, iu behalf of the Olym
pics, accepted the cake with a few ap
propriate remarks. This being over
dancino
was then in order, and the majority
present worshiped at the shrine of
Terpsichore until the “wee sma’
hours” warned them that the time bad
too soon camo for them to part.
Indeed was tbU a gala day for
Leesburg, and truly have they just
cause for feeling gratified at the man
ner in which they entertained their
guests. We doff our hat aud extend
many thanks to Dr. aud Mrs.
Love for their kind treatment; also
to Messrs. Hines Ware, Eddie Mar
tin and others for their many mani
festations of kindness and good atten
tion, and in fact we feel that we are
under life long obligations to Lees
burg in toto; and we hope that at no
distant day it will be in our power to
reciprocate. Yours truly,

either. We trust that prosperity
may cast i’a cheering light aroum
their dwelling and that they may re
joiee in its brightness; “that warm
affections may preside over thUunion.
and their home become as an Eden
where rich fruits load the trees and
fragrant flowers bloom ou every
tide.”
We hear from ail portions of thi
county that the cotton crop is in a
dangerous condition; there is not
moro than one-third of a crop at thi-
time, and the caterpillars are making
their appearance iu large numbers iu
all directions. Our farmers are nat
urally gloomy and despondent at this
unexpected turn. At best and under
the most favorable auspices not more
than one half a crop was expected.—
Now that the caterpillars have come
they can hope for but an almost total
lost of this year’s crop. Already the
work of destruction has commenced
and no one can tell where the end will
be. We hope for better things, but it
is only a hope.
Col. Thoa W. Fleming placed
our little village under many obliga
tions by distributing among the la
dles a basket of the Chinese or Le-
Conte sand pear, which is certainly
the most delicious fruit that can be
grown in this country. Tho people
of Georgia are iudehted to'Col. Flem
ing more than any one else for the In
troduction and dissemination of this
excellent fruit throughout the State.
Mr. E. C. Jones, the patch farmer,
we arc proud to say, can truly and
Justly boast of the finest crop, both
corn aud cotton, in the county.
The steamboat excitement has set
tled Into a confident assuranco that
the Flint River Transportation Com
pany will bo roady to carry off what
little cotton Is mado during the pres
ent season in this county, and a por
tion of the adjoining counties. By
the way, this will be a good point for
cotton buyers. Glad to welcome you
in our midst, gentlsmeu.
Yours truly, g. L.
der the hod management. The entln
family of Colliers, from the old gen
tleman down to Paul, seem to know
how to make people feel at home, ami
enjoy a sojourn from home, in search
of pleasure or health. The table i«

we were ii"t atndd to say so wi-

knowledge of wh-it is going 1 n iu tin
kitchen would bring about belle
bread in many lioti-eholds; but mim
now, we don’t sav this, because w<-
have many lady friends who can tell

fall ions, but can give but little in

the kitcheu. We can’t afford to loose

With snch dishes as may he had at
the McIntosh House, and the water
fresh from the spring, we will guar
antee a cure of most all the disease:
incident to our county. A good Ital
ian Band is employed at this house,
and those fond of dancing can in
dulge to its fullest extent; so the
pleasure-seeker can be accommodated
as well as those in search of health,
It was our lot to be one of a very
pleasant party—Mrs. B. A. Collier,
Misses Eliza and Emma Davis, of Al
bany, and Maj. Jas. H. Spence and
sister, Miss Laura Spence, of Camil
la. The trip was made with no par
ticular incident, excepting the pleas
ure of a ride in an open phaston with
a worn out storm cover in a two
hours rain fall. Had we gone in the
regular coach we would have fared
better.
The night after our arrival, at half
past three, there was such an alarm
made as to cause a general wakening
and fear that the house was on fire,
or that robbers had made an attack.
Whit ventured down to see what was
the trouble, and soon relieved all by
informing us that nothing had hap
pened more than could reasonably be
expected; that it was only the arrive
of another party from Albany. It i>
only uecessary to give the names of
this party to our readers to assure
them that they were on.y half awak<

but ott bearing that they had created

the lady boarders they sought th<
next night at high twelve to appear
he wrath of the entire household in
giving a serenade of vocal music.—
The serenade can only* be appreciated
by those who heard It; five voice-
•iuging five different songs at th<
<ame time. To say the least, it vs-
very stirring and had a tendency t<-
Irive sleep from the eye-lids of alt
within half a mile. After this the in-
uocents put on their best clothes end
ooks and began to take in the water
and e very greet deal of Iamb, kid,
chicken, peaches, etc.; and were noted
is the leadiug gallants of the ball
room.
There was no otherlneident of note
by any one of the innocents, until
Criue “skinned the cat” a la German.
It was done in such a way that all
were willing to vote to him the belt
as the champion cat skinner at Indian
Springs.
We were pleased to see Hon. James
Blount and have a long and interest
ing interview on the acts aud doings
of the last Congress, state of the
country, etc. Surely the State has in
Mr. Blount a faithful and true man.
and the Fifth district cannot serve
her State better than to allow him to
be his own successor.
We also had the pleasure of meet
ing Mr. B. A. Richardson, of the Sa
vannah News, and his accomplished
wife. Col. Blount can and does
measure arms with the bitterest ene
mies to his section, and Richardson
can write the very best articles on
the goodness and greatness of wo
man ; but when called on at a meet
ing of the Literary Club to give their
views ex tempore on given subjects,
they make a retreat to the spring, or
some other place, where the ladies
can’t find them. Not so with Pugh,
of Macon. He can sing “Old Black
Joe” before a thousand ladies, and
try to do anything else when called
on.
Tho guests of the McIntosh House
were genial and entertaining. Ail
seemed to vie with each other to make
tinio pass pleasantly, and success
crowned their efforts.
If any of our reatiees should visit
the Springs, we beg of them not to
fall to take one or more of Dr. Bry
an’s Turkish baths. There is nothing
like them; they make you feel as if
you were iu a new world.
Letter from Rome, Qa.
Rome, Ga., Aug. 8th, 1879.
Paid a flying trip to Dalton this
week. Guested with the pleasant end
hospitable families of Messrs. Tiaon
and Forrester. The charms of con
versation and the sweet strains of mu
sic gave the time au easy and pleas
ant transit. Mr. JunieF. Hillyer, a
rising and prom ent young lawyer
>f this place, was my compngiion de
v> >yage. There s re 1 hree ne n spapera
in Dalton, a factory for the manufac
ture of axe handles, another in which
ill kinds of furniture arc steamed in
to existence, an 1 the usual number of
churches, hotels, schools, colleges, and
mercantile houses, belonging to a city
f 3500 population The train being
behind time, we came from Dalton
to Rome, (43 mile-) in an hour and
ten mluutes, a speed somewhat simi
lar to that of the mau who spat at one
mile post and hit: the next- The hor

Preparations lo receivo the rotton
harvest at this place are ample. Six
ty-two thousand bales were received
at Rome last year, ami seveniv-fivo
thousand bales will be brought in
during the autumn of 1879. Within
a few hours run of Atlanta, and sur
rounded by such a number of com
peting “lesser lights” the wealth and
prosperity of the Hill City are truly
surprising and eminently creditable.
Feltonism is much more formida
ble in this district thau I at first sus
pected. Almost every colored voter,
and a considerable proportion of the
intelligent, upright and influential
white citizens, are dazed by the win
ning ways and specious sophistries of
the medico-clerical congressman.—
Much as T regret the state of offairs,
truth compels me to say I do uot be
lieve any other candidate can beat
him. To use the earnest and forcible
language of Sugs, ho can “run faster
than six scared walrus aud a yearling
doer.”
I failed to note in its proper order
that they have two cotton presses in
Rome, each of which compresses a
bale weighing 500 pounds, every oue
and a half minutes; by its sides of
greatest thickness, to the thickness of
five inches. What next may wc look
for in the line of utilizing inventions?
In a previous letter I stated I was
informed that 10,000 houses were
built annually iu Atlanta. I had a
cipher too many in the statement, for
which I, not the printer, am to blame.
However, as a cipher stands for noth
ing and a man’s statement don’t de
serve to be criticised and censured for
nothing I may as well let the matter
pass.
A friend suggested that I give yon
a description of the Rome cemetery,
the lonely and beautiful necropolis
of the pale and silent throng who are
resting from the laburs and cares of
life and patiently waiting for the res
urrection. But in my present state of
ucaith I should not do justice to tha
fruitful them*. I therefore forbear,
•Merely remarking that the place pos
sesses such atimclious I have felt con
strained to spend a portion ot every
day, wheu tiie weather was suitable,
ni'looking upon its beauties and ad
miring iu melancholy testimonials.
