The .annual catalogue of this famous

tinctive mark of high rank as in the days
of Dr. Lovfck Pierce, one of its original
founders. This College is a prMir-imtl
glory to Georgia; and as one of the edu
cational institutions of the South, takes a
prominent position in the diffusing of
education in all of its intellectual, moral
and physical branches. This century de

Sew Styles of Photographic Art
A hasty visit ’paid to Mr. Lyon’s pin

that during the past spring a decided im|
provement had liei-n made in tlie phoi
grap’iic art. We were shown several
specimens of the new parrel photographi
which is now taking precedent over all
oflier styles.
Mr. Lyons expects shortly to leave the

desire to have tlieir photograps taken to

sive fanners in West Dougherty, who has
three hundred acres of cotton under cul
tivation, now about knee high, reports
that caterpillars have begun their devas
tating inarch upon his field.
That this pest should have appeared so
early is, indeed, to say the least, a very-
bad outlook. The continuous warm win
ter which wc have passed through, no
doubt has' been the main cause of tlieir
early appearance.

Death or Dr. W.*K Jennings.
We are pained to announce the death
of Dr. W. I\ Jennings, of this city,
whose earthly career terminated on
Thursday evening last, nt half-past 10
o’clock, after a painful illnesss of nenrly
six mouths, and a life of assiduous labors
and usefulness in his profession.
Dr. Jennings was a native of North
Carolina, and was born in Fayetteville in
that State, in the year 1814. lie moved
from Nortii Carolina to his plantation
near Albany, in 1832, and in the year ’5:!
came to the city of Albany, where he
resinned the practice of medicine, build
ing up at this place a lucrative and ex
tensive practice, outliving all of liis old
eonteni|x>raries here.
His knowledge of liis patients waa very
remarkable, as well as liis tact in tlieir
treatment. He was both a friend and a
physician, and bytlie manner in which lie
combined the two at tlie sick bed, en
deared himself to many who are now
called upon to grieve over his demise.
The Doctor was a great sufferer for
many months past, being confined to Ids
bed for over three months, from a i-liron-
1c affection of a cancerous nicer of the
throat ami tongue.
He leaves a widow and three children—
a soiMiml two daughters,—to mourn Ids
loss. The great estimation in which lie
was held by this community was attested
by tlie very large concourse of people
who followed Ids remains from the Epis
copal church to tlieir last resting place
in tlie cemetery yesterday afternoon.
A Good Chance for Investment
Mr. Judson A.- Hancock, of Worth
I county, -offers for sale his plantation near
Sumner’s station. Tlie plantation com
prises 490 acres, sixty acres of it being
I under cultivation. A gixxl mill is also
stationed on the place with excellent wa
ter-power. . A remarkably flue range
I for cattle and sheep.
This is a gooil investment anil could lie
I made to pay very handsomely, provided
I the proper person would take hold of it.

and therefore announce *
fh© Albany fri-We«kly News I
The fierce political campaign through which we are to pass, both National
and State, wl!l be one of unusual interest to all classes, and a weekly newspaper
will be an insufficient conveyance to carry to the people intelligence o! the mo
mentous issues involved. The TRI WEEKLY is sufficiently large to present all
facta and a careful resume of the news of the day, which we propose to do in a careful
and energetic manner.
We shall at once make arrangements by which wo shall be enabled to present to
onr readers special telegraphic reports of the more important matters at the Capital
and elsewhere, and are determined that each issue (hall be fresh and newsy.
The subscription pries of the TRI-.WEEKLY NEWS is 51 for the campaign.
Its contiuance after the expiration of that time will depend npon the encouragement
we receive for the enterprise. Unexpired subscriptions to the WEEKLY will be
furnished (he Thursday’s edition of the TKI-WEEKLYi Advertisements will be
inserted at an advance of only 33 1-3 per cent over onr weekly rates.
With a firm reliance in the enterprise and liberality of the people of Albany and
Southwest Georgia, and re affirming our purpose to serve their best interests, we
hereby Cut loose from the Weekly moorings, and announce The Albany Tri
weekly News.
We earnestly ask the encouragement and assistance of our friends tbrougbfMt
