Albany’s “boom” as n commercial

it goes.
Letters directed to Benj. Thomas,

It is said that an Atlanta man has

Now, boys go fish for mermaids, if

The instruments for tho Cuthbert

Mr. McD. Jonrs requests us to thank

while sick. He is better now, and
has gone to the Florida springs.
Don’t forget tho Library Fair. It
will be held September 23rd to 27th,
and the directors are determined to
make it the biggest success of the.
season.

Mr. J. W. Reynolds, of East Dough

will enter the field this fall better

nay expect a prosperous winter see-

Mr. Jan. Bostick, on Capt. Smith’s
place in East Dongherty, carried to
Wells’ Mill, last Wednesday, 75 bush
els of wheat. It is said that this mill
equals the Kennesaw in turning out
good flour. Mr. Wells is a clever
and accommodating gentleman, and
has in his employ one of the best mil
lers In the State.
Progress of the Caterpillar.
Tho existence of tho cotton cater
pillar is reported by our planters lo
be pretty general throughout South
west Georgia. At present, however,
they are webbed up on many places
and not doing any harm. On -nine
plantations they are doing much dam
age, and bid fair to entirely destroy
the top crop. We hear that it is Hie
intention of many to poison them by
sprinkling with arsenic, sufficiently
diluted to prevent harm to the plant.
Paris-green has proven too severe in
Us effect upon the weed and will not
be used by those who have experi
ence as to its influences.
Reports from Dougherty are en
couraging. Corn Is better than was
hoped for, sugar cane, peas, potatoes,
hufas, etc., are growing finely, and
the planters will certainly have some
cotton to sell, caterpillar or no cater
pillar.
Col. C. B. Wooten, who returned
cstcrda^Trom his plantation In Cal
houn county, says that he thinks the
prospect for a cotton crop Is fair. He
saw but few caterpillars and says that
bey have not appeared generally,
nor in large numbers, In Calhoun,
snd that if they do appear there will
nevertheless be a fair crop made. The
corn crop In that county will average
fully one half, perhaps more.
Miss Sallic Long will open a
school for boys and girls at Ingra

accomplished and successful teacher,

tisement.

The Home anil Dower Association.
Some excitement was created in opr
city last week, eu account of reports
published iu the Atlanta Constltutioq
and other papers to the effect that the
Home and Dower Association, of
which Mr. C. M. Clark was agent at
Albany, had proven a fraud aud had
practiced very practical deceptions
upon our people to the tune of sever
al thousand dollars.
While this report waa pretty gen
erally accepted as true, the supposed
sufferers were not inclined to suspect
Mr. Clark guilty of wrong-doing, ay
his interests among our people are
too great to admit of such transgres
sion on his part, even if he had been
desirous of engaging in a plan to rob
his own people. HU good name in
our community, too, guardet) off sus
picion.
The following notices, clipped from
the Atlanta Dispatch and Atlanta
Post, of the 18th, respectively, give
full assurance of Mr. Clark’s integri
ty, and are hopeful signs to those who
have made investments with tho As
sociation :
“Mr. C. M. Clark, of Albany, Ga.,
has arrived in the city with full pow
er and means to adjust all just claims
against the llumc aud Dower Asso
ciation. This will be good news to
many who have been on the fringy
edge’ of auxie.y for several days.”
Mr. C. M. Clark, of Albany, Qa.,
arrived in tha city to-day, the succes
sor of Mr. E. A- Whitcomb as agent
»f the Home and Dowor. He propos
es to settle all honest claims agaiust
the Association, and says that the
Home and Dower is perfectly solvent.
Uc can be found at the old office,”
The following from Tuesday’s At
lanta Dispatch is the latest and best
report we can give:
Iu conversation with Colonel C. M.
Clark, of Albany, who arrived here
to tlx up the affairs of the Home and
Dower, that gentleman stated that
the concern proper was solvent and
first-class inst tutlou. lie will
promptly ndjust all claims and con
tinue the branch office here. The re
cent trouble, lie sava, grew out of dis
honest agon's. Whit :omb has nut
gone to Washington, aud is hiding
out somewhere, not having made a
report of his transactions to the home
office for three mouths. This looks
us though Whitcomb Is a gay deceiv-

Yesterday at 12 o'clock our neigh

ever visited her store can doubt that
she will bring out a stock Just suited
to the tastes of her many customers.
Messrs. Sheffield Sf BeJI, though

is as large as can be found in thisaec-

RELIGIOUS 3EEIBSG3 IN EAST DOUGHER
TY.
Editor* Newt'. Pine Bluff church
has just passed through a most de
lightful series of mcetiugs. The
meeting began on last Friday week,
-tnd lasted until last Friday night. It
was conducted by the pastor, Kev. R.
T. Hanks, except on one morning
when Rev. U. R. Felder preached,
tnd as usual did good service. The
church and Christians of all denomi
nations were very much reviveu and
mcouraged. There has not been
>uch a happy time, or a more bnrmo-
ilptta meeting in East Do.ight-rtv >or
t long time. There were abont thir
ty professions of religion, twenty-two
ol whom joined the Pine Bl.iffc.i ireu.
The pastor baptised fourteen ol these
ast ijabbath atterimou. This o- ca
ion was made doubly itilere-ti.ig by
the f*6t that Rev. U. 1L Felder also
uptised one caudidatu at the same
place and in the same water. After
Mr. Hanks had fiuished his prelimi
nary services, he beckoned to Mr.
Felder, aud to singing by the vast
crotvd of Methodists, Baptists aud
other*, lead by the venerable “Uncle
•tad” Reynolds he walked with tbe
candidate into the water, and admin
istered the sacred rite with as much
ease and grace as if that had been his
only mode. Then to tho singing ’ by
the same graud choir, Mr. Uauks
baptised those who had joined his
church, and after the benediction the
ippy people retired to their homes,
we learn also timt several have
joined the Wesley Chapel, aud that
during this week, the pastor, Mr.
Felder, is conducting a series of mett-
inga.' We congratulate East Dough
erty upon its blessings. * *
