This firm, with their accustomed
go-aheadativene&v had a large and
elegant assortment of stoves, tinware,
etc., at the Fair Grounds last week.
The manufactured tinware was ele
gant in design, masterly in finish, and
very properly received the Diploma
awarded for that class of goods. The
most attractive feature of their dis
play, however, was “The Times”
Stove. As its name indicates, it had
all the improvements, polish and fin
ish, which the progress of the Nine
teenth Century, in this direction,
could give it. “ The Times” Stove is
justly celebrated for its capacious
oven, ample draft, and beauty of de
sign. We are (glad to know, that a
special Diploma, the finest the Fail-
Association can get up, w 11 be
awarded this enterprising firm on
“ The Times” Stove. We congratu
late the firm on their success, and on
having a Stove which will sell on
sight.

Artistic Display.
Did you see the beautiful evidences
of Photographic an at the Fair
Ground last week ? No. Well, you
missed a treat, rarely permitted to
the publ c at large. Familiar faces
looked down at you so naturally that
you would almost think that there
was real life there, until your eye
caught the magnificent golden frames
and the exquisite marbleized cards
upon which they were photographed.
Mr. Davis, we are satisfied, is an
artist of the first water, and has his
photographic gallery furnished not
only tastefully and richly beautiful,
but with all the appliances necessary
to place him at the head of his pro
fession.

Accident on the Georgia Rail
road.
The passenger train on the Athens
Branch did not arrive Sunday morn
iug uutil 11 o’clock—being several
hours behind schedule time. The
detention was owing to an accident
to the Saturday night freight train
on the main line. Some fiend or
fiends in human shape placed obstrur.
tions somewhere on the road between
Union Point and Augusta, which
threw the train off the track, caus
ing considerable damage. Fortu
nately no lives were lost. Catch them
and hang them to theHrsk tree.
Col. Jones’ Horses.—Col. Jones
of Augusta, enteted at the' Fair, sev
eral superb, thoroughbred horses,
which added no little to the many at

one for second money in half mile heat,
won by Mr. Earlu Overby’s horse. ;

ry manner of Madame Rentz’s organ
ization, and the many attractions
which have been recently added

no’.icc from the Washington (J). C )
Chronicle.
Ford’s Opera House.—Madame
Rentz’s Female Ministrels give a final
performance to-day at Ford’s Opera
House, and those who have not seen
them should avail themselves of this
last opportunity. The principal per
formers are pretty and graceful and
efficient, and in the concluding musi
cal burlesque, entitled “Ixion,” ren
der themselves especially pleasing
and attractive.
Fiendish Act*—On last Friday
evening, the incoming train ou the
Northeastern Railroad, was only
saved from a terrible accident by the
watchfulness of its officers. Some in
human person or persons bad placed
crossties on the track, so as to com
pletely block the way. Fortunately
for all concerned,- it resulted In only
temporary detention of the train
and the breaking a coupling.
The Legislature should make this
placing of obstructions on railroads,
a crime punishable by death. Only
in this way, can the wild, savage and
inhuman acts of such persons be pre
vented.
Be sure to pay your City Tax and
register. You cannot vote in the
City election unless you do.

LIME.
About ten.days ago the rates of
freight on cotton from Jonesboro,
about twenty miles from this city, on
the Macon and Western railroad,
was changed from twenty cents to
thirty-five cents per hundred pounds.
As soon as the planters and mer
chants at and adjoining the above
named town became aware of the
change steps were taken to organize
a line to transport cotton to this city
in a way cheaper, than the new rates
established by the railroad company.
A large number of wagons were
procured, and hundreds of bales of the
staple have been pouring* into Atlans
ta from this point since the organisa
tion of this manner of transportation
by mule power. Yesterday the
company seeing their loss by the ads
vancement of the rate of freight, con
cluded to reduce the rates to. the old
price which was 20 cents per TOO
pounds.
