Three gentlemen were lunching to gether last week, in the lunch were some small fish, where upon, an apology was offerd as the lunch was passed around, Why said one, who was scripture read, “This is more than Christ had when he fed 5000 on two loaves of bread and small Pishes.” Another exclaimed, “gracious! they must a been whales.” Ed Ansley lias the largest stock of Toys ever shown in Americas. Coming Events C ist Their Shadows. J udging from the display of 1 umber, and from corroborating statements, it is no violation of prudence to say, that the diagonal corner from the Re publican oflice, will soon labor no more under the disagreeable qualify ing prefix of vacant lot. Judge Mont gomery has begun to till up the vac uum on his realty over the way, and there is no prophesying when he will stop. Besides, moreover, neverthe less, other people seeing how much better a vacant lot looks, with a house on it, will be moved by his good works to do likewise. So the build ing boom will still go on through 1883. Wheatley’s store is the busiest place in town. The reason is that he lias tiie latest styles, sells the best goods that can be had and his prices are al ways the lowest. This week they are doing an immense business in Cloth ing, Cloaks and Dress Goods. Call and see them. Lee Court. The Superior Court of Lee county, is in session this week. We were not present at its organization, for the first time in a number of courts, owing to personal affliction. But we have every assurance, both from our ac quaintance with the man, as well as information from' members of the bar who were present, that the youth ful judge was fully equal to the draft upon him as well in regard to the charge to the Grand Jury, as also in the manner and ease exhibited in organizing his first court. Judgo Fort will be found a liberal and courteous, presiding officer, while looking well to the interest of the country as the purity of the ermine. Solicitor Gen eral Hudson was present, ready and qualified to represent all the interests of the State.

The Big Show On Tuesday according to the pro gramme, Sells Brothers’ Cyclopean exhibition arrived in Amcricus, and notwithstanding the scowling look of the heavens and the wintry tinge in the atmosphere, large crowds of coun try people were here by ten o’clock to give them a hearty welcome. About nine o’clock old Sol’s beaming face darted from behind the clouds and the remainder of the day was beautiful. At noon the grand proces sion took place and this, ofitself, was worth the admission price to the show. The largest, as well the small est elephant ever in our city, was there, and if nine of these mammoths in a herd is not a sight worth viewing, with a herd of camels, and the other sights, we are at a loss to know what would be. The Sells Brothers are no frauds. They have what they adver tise, give a show that will always at tract, and one that ranks with any that travels, if it is not far ahead. The riding is just the best that has over been in our city, and we heard many expressions of delight at nearly every act. There was hardly one part of the exhibition that did not meet the approbation of the visitors, and if the Sells Brothers could drop into our city again, with their grand exhibition about Christmas week, their huge pavillions could not hold the crowds that would gather here.

Simon begged to be excused, he had pressing business that would keep him (Simon,) while on this terrestrial ball. Simon called upon the police to pro tect him in his citizenship against the claim of the representative of the Ce lestial Empire. When, about to be arrested, he, like Peter, on a certain occasion, made fight, and Wick made a narrow escape; but be cooped the minister from abroad. Since he has been in bonds, lie lias mpdo the cor radors echo in that part of the city.

IN MEMORIAM. “Forth of our ways and woes, forth of the winds and snows, A white soul soaring goes, winged like a dove; So sweet, so pure, so clear, so heavenly tem pered here, Love scarce need hope or fear her changed above.” Thus on the 26th of October, 1882, the pure spirit of Mrs. Bessie Leon ard Sims passed from earth into heaven. Forth from the breaking heart of the aged mother, forth from the cling ing affection of an oft afflicted sister, forth from the strong lovo of an idol izing husband, far away from tho an guish of a hopelessly desolated home, into the bosom of tho Father. Seldom is it our opportunity to know a truer, nobler woman, than was Mrs. Sims. She was naturally reserved and modest, and few pene trated the depths of her nature. She was my friend! Mine was the privi lege of reading, page after page, her character as it unfolded to the touch of time. A happy-hearted girl—sad memory brings again her joyous laugh among her young companions of the village school, recalls her glad songs as she flitted among her flowers, and in and out the house, making joy and gladness in old “sunshine home,” and gilds even more tenderly the panora ma of the past, as she reveals the light-hearted maiden, transformed by sorrow into a brave, Christian woman, who without a murmur yields htfr dearest treasure—her only sister—for the service of the Master, in a heathen land. Next, the bridal wreath rests on the young brow, and lastly, when memory withdraws the scenes of tho past, the pure light of Faith shows the loved one, sweetly resting in tho bosom of the Father. Her short mission on earth is accom plished. In every relation of life “she hath done what she could.” To the desolated hearts in tlio dark ened home, we extend tenderest sym pathy. May He, who has taken her unto Himself, give to them the power to say “Thy will he done.” "Another golden link is broken. Hearts are veiled in bitter gloom, God, the mighty King lias spoken, To his daughter, called her home. When we meet in Church to praise Him, And we raise Ilis name in song, Catch the echo, loved one, waft it To the happy, blood-washed throng. Tell Him,sweet friend, when you meet Him In that bright eternal land, How you yearned so long to see Him, Kiss Ilis precious bleeding hands. Farewell! if it must he spoken— Sister, daughter, wife, good-bye, God tiie golden link has broken, God will mend it by-aiul-by.” A Friend. IN MEMORIAM. On Saturday morning, November 4th, the sad news was borne from c-ar to ear that Walter Rylaxder was nomore. After a brief illness of a few days he died, and his gentle spirit took its flight unto the God that gave it. lie was cut down in the bloom of his youth, when the light of young manhood had just begun to dawn; the star of hope hast just risen on the hori zon of his life, and was casting its brightest rays o’er his pathway.— Sober-minded, full of energy, and en dowed with unusual business qualifi cations, already he had won for him self a reputation. Kind hearted and gentle in disposition, he was beloved by his associates, while many admir ed the noble attachment which he bore for his mother; also the growing attachment which he evinced for the Sunday School evidenced that within his breast there was the best of all feelings, love to God. He had no enemies, but when the sad news burst forth all hearts moutned, for verily “His life was like a summer rose That opens to the morning sky; And ere the shade of eveningdo.se, Is seatteredon the ground to die.” While our hearts are deeply sadden ed, and we mourn the loss of Walter, yet when we lift our thoughts heaven ward, and realize that it is the work of our Heavenly Father, “He who doeth all things well,” submissively we bow to his dispensation and say: “Thy willbedone.” Though we shall miss him in our Sunday School, yet whenever our eyes shall turn in vain to his vacant seat and we behold not his familiar face, we shall trust that he is even then gathered with the re deemed in the Heavenly Temple sing ing praises unto our God. Since it hath pleased Him who “ruleth the universe” to take him away, therefore be it Resolved Ist, That in the death of Walter RYLANDEuthe community has lost one of its brightest young men, and our Sunday School one of its scholars, whose presence we shall sadly miss. Resolved 2nd, That wo do deeply mourn his loss, though not without hope, and extend to the bereaved and sorrowing family our most heartfelt sympathies in this, their dark hour of affliction and would kindly point them unto Him “who tempereth the wind to the shorn lamb” for comfort and peace. Resolved 3rd, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family in token of our sympathy, and that they also be published as a small tribute to the memory of our deceased friend. Committee. Preserves in sib buckets at Ed Ansley’s. John L. Laramore. This gentleman, well-known by rea son of a long residence in Sumter and Lee counties, dropped dead on Mon day morning in Leesburg, where lie had gone to attend Court. He was apparently in as firm health as usual; but from some unknown cause he died suddenly. His florid and robust health leads to the belief that it was apoplexy which carried him off. The deatli will strike many with astonish ment, for the promise of long life and health was plainly printed in his general vigor and movement. He was about sixty-two years of age, and leaves a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. We ex tend condolence to the near circle, who feel most tho sore bereavement. The remains of John L. Laramoro readied Americus by the afternoon passenger train, and were met at the depot by a large number of gentlemen friends of tho deceased, and escorted to the Cemetery. STATE NEWS: LAWT.ENeßvit.us, November 17.—A few days ago a man calling himself Garland came to the house of Mr. Wal ters’, who lives near Luwerenccville, and asked for board for two or three days. He give no account of himself and seemed to desire to be very quiet. It was noticed hv some ofthe neighbors that he had a largo amount of gold about his person estimated by some at half a hat full. Suspicions were arous ed as to his being a refugee from justice, and at length, through means that can not now be made public, it was dis covered that lie had probably been con nected with the robbery of Mr. Brand enburg, which occurred in Meriwether connty on the night of the 6th. The particulars of the robbery were pub lished at the time. About 8 o’clock on the night in question two masked men went to Mr. Brandenburg’s house and set his crib on fire. When he went out to extinguish the fire they entered his house and shot at his wife and niece, and seized his trunk, con taining one thousand dollars in money, and bonds to the amount of $5,000. The bonds are described as follows: One United States 4 per cent, of 1907, No. 55,805, SI,OOO. One Georgia 7 per cent, first mortgage bond, W. and A. railroad, payable in 1800, and No. 109 for SI,OOO. One Georgia railroad bond C per cent , No. 1709, and due in 1910, issued January Ist, 1881, sl,- 000. One Georgia railroad bond ii per cent,, No. 772, issued July 2d, 1867, due 1890, SI,OOO. The man was ar rested last night and brought to jail. After making several contradictory statements he said that if Sheriff Pat terson would furnish him with some morphine he would tell him all ho knew about the robbery. When the sheriff returned with tho morphine he stated that if he would take him into the woods where he bad hid the gold he would give him S2OO if he would take his shackles off and release him. Of course Mr. Patterson refused this. A dispatch was sent to the police in Grif fin, and they rereplied. “Hold J. L. Furguson,” the prisoner having stated that his name was J. T. Furguson. Through letters and dispatches that cannot be made public, it is thought that his accomplices are spotted and will he arrested. 1 will wire you further particulars as they develop. J. C. S. The Comptroller General’s report shows an actual cash balance in the treasury of $310,017,-11. The amount of insolvent general tax is exceedingly small, and the increase in the value of taxable property amounts to $16,255,- 150. The amount of the educational fund for last year reached $277,009.36. The Comptroller’s remarks on the in surance department are very interesting. Ho condemns the speculative character of marriage associations, and recom mends legislation that will relievo them of their objectionable features. The citizens of Alt any will entertain with true Geergia hospitality nearly two hundred delegates to the coming session of the South Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, which will meet in that city. One hundred and seventy members of the conference have been heard from who will attend. Macon is about to take the lead in civil service reform, and a movement is on foot there to pay the Board of Aider men three hundred dollars each per year, besides the high honor they now enjoy in serving the public. This will increase the number of candidates whom the of fices will seek in that happy municipal ity. Rome Daily Courier: “Last Sun day evening at the supper table at the Central Hotel, the following little epi sode transpired: When most of the guests were seated at the table, a very nice looking little gentleman stepped in and was shown to a seat opposite to a lady of Forepangh’s circus. Intense staring was exchanged between these two, and soon each rushed towards the other, and ‘my brother,’ ‘my sister,’ were the only words spoken, but they embraced each other most affectionats lv. After explanation shows that Frank Browne ran away from Brighton, England, when ten years old. Cosmo politan since that time and recently from the City of Mexico, most of the time with circus troupes, ho had heard that his sister, now Mrs. Purvis, was with the Forepangh circus, and tvould be here, so he determined to meet her. It had been fourteen years since their last meeting. The recognition was mutual, and their meeting very happy.” All kinds of canned goods at Ed Ansley’s. NEW VARIETY ! Extra Early Pearl Onion Sets!

Tribute to W, W. Singleton. The following beautiful tribute to Mr. Singleton, oi Marion, was deliver ed by Mr. Dupree, of Macon county: Mr. Speaker: In discharging the duties devolved upon this occasion I shall attempt to be brief, for words like “sunbeams, the more they' are consider ed, the deeper they bum.” Indeed, that grief is most appropriately express ed, when the tongue is silent and the lips are mute. The human mind nat urally shrinks hack at the contempla tion of death, but when the “king of terrors’ lays its “icy cold” fingers where the manly form of the young, the hopeful, and promising, ere the sun of life had lighted aurora’s tints and dis solved to dews of night, while yet it was morn, then, indeed, is death pecu liarly sad, and erring mortals are brought face to face with the stern real ization, “in the midst of life we are in death. In this hall there ia one va cant chair, in the call of the clerk there is one name unsounded upon our roll; it. is the name of the Hon. Will W. Singleton, late member elect to the house of representatives from the comi ty of Marion. It was my fortune to know him well and am assured I enjoy ed his friendship and esteem. Well, do I remember, when first we met. It was on a lovely autumn day in 1880, when the forest of nature was clad in the sear and yellow leaf, by the grave of a fond relative, whose gentle spirit had recently entered the “dark shad ows,” as lie was upon his way to this city, seeking a clerkship in the house of representatives of the legislature of 1880-81, and I in the act of leaving my home to become a member of that body, to which 1 had been returned by a confiding people. He asked me to aid him in securing him a posffion upon our clerical force. He was successful in his efforts, and doubtless the records of that house, now within the walls of this capitol building, abundantly testi fy as to his fidelity to duty, and his de votion tjj trust. \\ hile here in the capacity of legislative clerk, it was told him that someone had remarked, “his position as clerk did not become him as an editor,” his prompt and' earnest re ply was, “I shall go to my home, and when I return here, it sluili not be as a clerk, but as a member of the house of representatives from the county of Marion.” Sure enough he was the re cipient of his party’s nomination in a heated contest over an older and distin guished competitor, and upon tho ides of October, as belay upon a bed of lan guishing ami of death, he was the voting and gallant chieftain of a proud and victorious democracy. But he was not permitted to enjoy the fruits of his tri umph. Disease laid its ruthless hands upon him and claimed him as its vic tim, and soon he was spirited away, to the “dark and rayless chambers of its tomb.” Had lie been permitted to take liis seat, he would have been the young est member upon the floor of this house, lint, alas, fur human greatness! Young Singleton was no favored child of for tune, but, like those men’ who have made their names immortal, ho entered the battle of lite with no friends but a p’ourl spirit, and no fortune save his talents. While a mere stripling, he was placed as a type setter in the office ot the Buena A ista Argus, a paper pub lished in the county of Marion. Soon he was its local editor, and then its able editor and proprietor. As the youngest journalist, doubtless, ia Geor gia, as he would have been the young est legislator, he labored to preserve a dignity of tone in that calling he hon ored, and for the maintenance of a heal thy public sentiment in even upholding the . right and despising the wrong. Amid the pressing cares of an active, but brilliant and useful life, he neglect ed not the cause of his Master. He was an exemplary member of the Metho dist church, and his faith in the teach ings of a “risen Saviour,” was as firm and unshaken as the earth in which he “sleeps his last sleep.” Mr. Speaker, and fellow members, I am confident, I use no extravagance of language, and give expressions to no fulsome praise, when 1 assert in this presence that Georgia, the brightest star that twin kles its midnight splendor in the coro net oi states, with her glorious moun tains libbed with gold and silver, carry ing winter upon their heads, spring upon their shoulders, while summer sleeps at their feet, rich in all tho ele ments of material wealth, renowned in thechivalry o( her sons and the beautv of her daughters, but grander still in the eve; lasting memories of hercherish ed dead, can ill afford to spare such men as was Will W. Singleton. Therefore, do I think it a fitting tribute for the representative of a great state to pause in their deliberations for a brief period of time to shed the tear of sympathy over the bier of tho “early dead.” In the grand cycles of time, as they move on in unceasing revolutions, tho gar lands oi princes will fade, diadems of royalty will wither and scepters will decay, but among a people who knew him best and loved him most, those shining qualities that illustrated his dignity of character and nobility of manhood, like the “crushed myrtle aad the bruised rose,’’with fresher fragrance and greener verdure,will linger in fade less colors upon the “eye of memory.” Though tho illustrious dead answers not to our roll call, let us, my hearers, indulge in the earnest hope that he is to-day a member of that legislature presided by the great Jehovah himself, where rulings are perfect, while his manly form lies resting in that sweet south land, “Which lias a grave in each spot, And names in the gravecan ne’er be forgot Where each single wreck in the war path of might Shall yet become a rock in the temple of right.” LAMPS—Hanging Lamps, Stand Lamps, Bracket Lamps, anti Lamp Fixtures with all kinds of Lanterns, the best made, can be bad at Dr. Eldridge’s Drug Store.
