NEWS GATHERING.
A SMATTBR OF SMALL ITEMS
FROM ALL AROUND.
CUTTING INTO OUR EXCHANGES FOR A
COLUMN OF SHORT COMMENT ON
EVERY-DAY HAPPENINGS.
[Savannah News.]
Hospitable Atlanta ought to lay aside
a large red Westherfleld onion for the use
of Rutherford B. Hayes when he visits
that city. He will have need of all the
tears when he sees the poor colored peo
ple prosperous and happy ui\der Demo
cratic rule.
[Augusta News.]
At a meeting of Washington Fire Com
pany last night a formal resolution to
disband the company was carried. The
assets were divided out among the
members and the traps and machinery
were turned over to tho chief of the de
partment. Thus are the old fire land
marks being removed, and soon the
whole city will be at the mercy of the
flames. The paid department should
be organized at once.
[Madisonian.]
The new York Herald talks of an ef
fort “to cram Cleveland down the Dem
ocratic throats in 1888.” Oh no, Mr.
Herald, there will be no cramming down.
Mr. Cleveland, by his good acts will be
mominated by his party in 1888 and will
be elected too. But why should the good
Herald feel so solicitous about what the
Democrats will do, when it knows it has
no sympathy with the party nor with
anything else as to that unless Bennet is
directly benefited by it.
[Boston Herald.]
If the Republicans want Mr. Blaine
for their candidate in 1888 they had bet
ter have him. It looks now as though he
would be nominated if alive. No other
name is so well received by the Repub
licans, even in Massachusetts. It is
probable that the Republican party needs
to be defeated again. To defeat it with
Mr. Blaine as its standard bearer will
be a comparitively easy and agreeable
task, especially if the Democratic candi
date be Grover Cleveland.
[Milledgeville Recorder.]
When the Holiness meeting adjourned
:a week ago from Sunday last, Rev. Mr
King, pastor of the Methodist church
here, determined to take advantage of
the high state of religious feeling which
existed, and has accordingly continued
the meetings from day to day to the pres
ent time. Meetings have been held reg
ularly at 9j o’clock in the morning, and
again at night at 7 o’clock, and the at
tendance of the large congregations has
shown the undiminished interest of the
people in the meetings.
[Savannah Times.]
The canning business has grown to
enormous proportions, Maryland and
California taking the lead. The total for
Maryland comprises 150,000,000 per an
num, a single establishment in Frederick
City putting up of corn alone 25,000.000
cans a year. Other Southern States have
only lately gone into the business.
Around New Orleans, both Louisiana
;and Mississippi, a number of canneries
are shipping North and West a large
number of the delicacies, oysters, shrimps
preserved oranges and similar products
.of that region.
[Augusta Chronicle.]
The recent show at Sparta, Hancock
county, of horses, cattle, swine, fancy
work, etc., was a great exhibition and re
flects credit on managers and exhibitors
alike. The display of blooded stock and
fancy needle work was fine indeed. K. li.
Thomas exhibited a variety of potatoes
which made 416 bushels to the acre. J.
C. Simmons, Esq., was, probably, the
most noteworthy exhibitor. Mr. Sim
mons’ cotton growing is remarkable, he
having cultivated 23 bales on 22 acres.
This is cotton planting with a vim and
shows what can be done on Georgia laud.
[Macon News.]
Dear, dear. What a fuss they make
because Cleveland appointed his wife’s
cousin consul to Sheffield. Why, Gen.
Grant divided out the nation among his
kin and his kin’s kin and his wife’ kin;
and lots of coarse copperas pants were
•worn out riding on the cars and bungling
about inquiring the nfghest road to Cuba,
Mexico and other places for which they
were appointed. The old Grant was al\
U. and the young Grant a captain, and
all the balance of the Grants and Dents
were something, and yet Cleveland must
be soundly berated for putting a plum in
the mouth of one single member of his
new wife’C kinnery.
[Savannah News.]
The anti-prohibitionists will not admit
that any good can possibly come from
prohibition, and they will talk against
it as loDg as they can get anybody to
listen to them. They ought to be con
vinced by this time, however, that At
lanta is fixed for prohibition for two
years at least, and tuat there is a strong
probability that at the end of that time
the town will be more strongly against
whisky than it is now. It is a fact
worth noticing in this connection that
all the counties of the State which have
given prohibition a fair trial couldn't be
induced to abolish it. They are more
prosperous than ever before, and the
people are happier and far more con
tented. Why shouldn’t the same con
dition of affairs exist in Atlanta?
Breaker* Ahead.
Editors Home Journal;
I am no alarmist, but the observers of
passing events will thank the Ilona
Journal for its outspoken warning fo
the people against the infamous and in
sidious schemes of I'owderly to demoral

Dhaka van,
TUESDAY NEXT.
THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ELECTIONS
TO BOTH GREAT PARTIEB.
Tuesday next, being the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in November, is
the constitutional date prescribed for the
election of members of Congress all over
the United States. The Congress (or
Lower House) thus chosen will go into
its first session on March 4, 1887.
On the same day elections will be held in
many of the larger commonwealths for
State officers. In New York only one
election is held in the twelve months.
Hence the great city of New York will on
Tuesday next choose her Mayor, Board
of Aldermen and other civic officials. Or
dinarily this contest would have no in
terest to Georgians, but this year the re
sult will have a two-fold concern to
our people, firstly, because the aggre
gate vote will afford important data on
which to predicate results in the Pres
dential election just two years hence, and,
secondly, on account of the incongruous
elements which have projected them
selves into the municipial contest—that
for the mayoralty of the metropolis.
The Socialists, Anarchists, Knights of
Labor and all other foes to human so
ciety have set up a candidate for Mayor.
That he will be snowed under there can
be no doubt, but we want to see just
what proportion of “snow” there is in
New York city to the percentage of hon
est voters. It is perfectly safe to say
that if Candidate George is buried under
an overwhelming majority on next Tues
day the “labor” problem (so called) all
over the country will have gained great
headway toward peaceful and honorable
solution. We predict at this distance
that Candidate George will be buried
out of sight, and that the riot and ruin
faction which is insulting the honest
toiling masses by undertaking to control
their votes will get a set back that will
do them for a century.
The election for member of Congress
from this, the Bth (instead of 19th, as
misprinted last week) district, will take
place also on next Tuesday. The Dem
ocratic candidate is Captain H. 11. Carl
ton, and he will have no opposition. It
is to be hoped, however, that the vote
for this gallant young statesman will be
full and hearty. The peculiar brilliancy
of his campaign for the nomination en
titles him to a great big vote.
The Late Revival.
Editors Home Journal:
The protracted meetings at the Meth
odist church in Greenesboro were aban
doned in sorrow after a series of services
extending through more than twenty
nights, to which were added daily prayer
meetings so long as they were encour
aged. The primary object of this at
tempted revival was to reach all the
members of this church. The second
ary design was to benefit the entire
community. The main purpose resulted
in a signal failure. To call it by any other
name would be arrant flattery. There
can be no doubt that had certain mem
bers of the Methodist church been
drawn to these meetings they would have
been impressed by the prayerful earnest
ness of the few patient workers who
labored to the end; and perhaps have
thus had revived their religious con
dition. Buf they would not come. Nights
that were balmy and beautiful, and many
of them effulgent with moonlight, had
no charm save for a very few of those it
was hoped to reach. The failure to re
vive a Christian church of any denomina
tion, after an earnest endeavor, is a lam
entable triumph for the foes of religion.
On the other hand, the practical fruit of
a successful reawakening of this church
would have been to thrill every artery
of Greenesboro with anew impulse.
We suppose no thinking Christian will
deny the need of strong spiritual and
moral forces in the material concerns of
men and communities. If we lacked re
liance on God in all things we should feel
slight confidence in men. These church
meetings are designed for the refreshment
and renovation of our faith. When we
discourage them by word or deed we do
Satan’s part, and when we ignore them
by a studied absence, with lame excuse,
we tell the story—whether we would or
not —that we haven’t got much faith in
God, and that we are afraid we might get
more. Believer.
The S. 8. Convention.
The Sunday School Convention met
in Greenesboro on last Thursday even
ing at the Methodist church (instead
of the Presbyterian, as advertised) and
organized. On Friday they continued
their programme at the former church
and had an interesting meeting. The
feature ’of the occasion was the admi
rable address of Rev. W. A. Overton,
which was pronounced by several critics
to be the best they ever beard on the
subject. The convention, having fulfilled
its misson, adjourned on Friday after
noon.
Greenesboro’s Wealth.
A writer from Greenesboro to the Ma
con Telegraph computes the riches of ten
persons in our town as follows. We do
not believe it can be equalled by any oth
er corporation where there are less than
2,500 people.
C. A. Davis $ 400,000
H. Geissler 125,000
J. B. Y. Warner 100,000
W. R. Jackson 60,000
A. B. Tappan 60,000
J. N. Armor 70,000
Mrs. Conklin Brown 75,000
W. P. McWhorter 100, 000
Mrs. Fanny Stocks 75,000
E. A. Copelan 40,000
Total $1,106,000
Of our county the same writer says:
“There are numbers of planters In

GREENESBORO. GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 29. 1886.-EIGHT PAGES.
TIIE STATE FAIR.
IT OPENS AT MACON UNDER EXCELLENT
i
AUSPICES AND PROSPECTS.
The State Fair at Macon has been in
progress since the 25th inst. (Monday),
and deserves the encouragement of all
Georgians. These annual exhibitions of
the products of our people have the effect
to encourage every form of industry and
by exposing the results spur our artisans,
mechanics, agriculturists and manufac
turers to greater efforts and emulation.
The present exhibition is one of the
best which has been held. It is being
well attended and the list of exhibitors,
V'e believe, is larger than usual, which is
saying a good deal for it, and also more
diversified. Greenesboro is very credita
bly represented in some of the depart
ments, particularly those in which the
deft handiwork of woman is shown to ad
vantage.
Reduced rates are being given by the
Georgia Railroad, tickets at a low fig
ure being on sale from Monday last until
November sth inclusive. Our friends all
over Greene and all those on the line of
the Georgia Railroad ought by no means
to let the opportunity escape for a most
delightful and interesting trip to Macon
and a view of the exhibits, besides a
share in the numerous attractions and en
joyments that are provided for visitors.
The Fair will be continued two weeks.
Ten thousand dollars in cash premiums
have been offered for best exhibits, and
every department of agricultural and me
chanical industry is fully covered.
In amusements, many special attrac
tions will be presented, ana the Fair offi
cials are exerting themselves to make the
best and most comprehensive Fair ever
held in Georgia.
Education in Oreeue.
A writer to the Atlanta Constitution
under date of Greenesboro, October 24,
gives a very full and creditable statement
of the condition of education in Greene
county, and supplements his letter with
valuable statistics covering the matter
of schools, academies, attendance, etc.
We append the recapitulation, as follows:
From the figures above, which are
correct, it will be seen that our people
are not neglecting the education of their
children. The county takes a deep in
terest in these matters and an able board
of school commissioners look carefully to
the improvement of the schools and the
proficiency of the teachers. They are
subjected to rigid and thorough examin
ation, and an average of less than 75 per
cent, in this examination, throws them
out, and the board refuses to allow them
license to teach.
“If we sum up the figures stated above
we find that there are 900 pupils enrolled
in all the schools, with an average at
tendance of 600 pupils, or 75 per cent, of
the whole number enrolled. Our total
voting population is 1,800, which makes
one scholar to every two voters.
“The total value of all school property
managed under the public system is $16,-
000.”
It will be noticed that the total voting
population is placed at 1,800. This is er
roneous. The voting population of
Greene county is nearly 2,800. Only about
1,800, however, registered just before the
late election.
Improvements.
For a few months there has been a very
decided step taken by our people in
behalf of dwelling and store improve
ment. One after another the residences
of Greenesboro have fallen under the
spell of the painter, and decorative art
has in one way and another made many
places very presentable and others still
very striking and beautiful.
Among the notable improvements al
ready made, progressing or intended, we
mention the new and handsome dwelling
of Mr. E. A. Copelan, just finished. Mr.
W. R. Jackson’s house newly painted.
Mr. C. A. Davis, dwelling and premises
painted. Rev. Chas. Holder, house
painted. Mr. M. J. Rossman has had his
place thoroughly renovated, and will be
painted at once. Mrs. M. L. Bowen's res
idence, painted. Mr. J. B. Y. Warner,
dwelling painted. Mr. T. A. Branch is
having a handsome cottage built. Store
occupied by Messrs. Copelau, Seals &
Armor, painted. Heard-Geissler build
ing, being painted. The iron front store
being painted. Improvements being
made in interior of Messrs. V. S. & G. A.
Hall’s store. Mrs. Clayton is having her
large dwelling renovated and painted.
This is a fine showing for the public spir
it of our citizens, and will greatly add to
the attractions of the town.
Copelan, Seals & Armor.
This widely famous and fully stocked es
tablishment enters upon tlic fall business
to win. We call attention to their hand
some tbree-column advertisement in this
issue and predict that a visit to their
elegant stores will convince all alike that
they supply any needed article for the
thousand and two wants of this or any
other community equal in quantity and
quality and lower in price th .n can be
found elsewnere.

a goodly reward for his sojourn to our

A DAY IN AUGUSTA
BUSY AND BEAUTIFUL IN THE
IDES OF THE AUTUMN.
A CITY WHICH WILL SOME DAY BE THE
PRIDE OF ALL GEORGIA AND THE
PBETTIEBT OF THE SOUTH.
Of course, Augusta gets a shake now
and then. As long as they are fashiona
ble it is probable that she will have her
share. When we want a good, hearty
shake we go to Augusta. We were there
a few days ago.
Save for the dust, which is numerous
enough to pervade the whole country,
Augusta is just as pretty as ever. Her
beautiful promenade, Greene street,
droops just a little under the presence
of a dry and dusty autumn. The sturdy
elms and oaks seem to thirst for a shower
aud their foliage imploringly turns to the
sky for rain. Not that rain would help
the leaves that fall, but it would bring
out the tints of those that do not.
Augusta means business. Everything
has a buoyant and bending air of energy
and hope. We think the business of the
fall will be huge. Her merchants expect
such a result as a rule, and this hope ani
mates and vitalizes them.
To be sure, the mills are shut down—
all save, we believe, the Augusta factory,
which is working a small proportion of its
full force. Does this detrimentally affect
business ? Yes. But the sentiment of
every dollar of tjie people is in sympathy
with the mill owners, and the mills will
crumble into powder before the moral
strength of the community will give way
to the demands of any set of men in the
world, especially when the first conces
sion is apt to be followed by continual
and unappeasable demands and constant
strikes. It was plain to the writer that,
whichever way the mill troubles termi
nate, that way must be final. The mills
may run, or they may not; but they can’t
be allowed to run today and be abandoned
tomorrow. With the strong sentiment
of the people behind them, the mill pres
idents have the larger half of the labor
problem in their grasp, and they have
shown such nerve and determination in
the present crisis that there can be no
doubt of the result, whether it come to
morrow or in the next decade.
Meanwhile, if one does not inquire, he
hears nothing of the great shut out. It
is a threadbare refrain, aud will not be
set to new music. We did not hear the
subject alluded to, save in response to
questionings.
We stopped at the Adkins House. It
was always conscientionsly kept and well
patronized. It has been so improved as
to have become in our -opinion the best
hostelry, on the whole, in Augusta. Thir
ty new, white, carpeted,cleanly and nice
ly furnished rooms were recently added.
Every room in the house has a natty little
grate, and can be warmed by a modicum
of fuel. Each (50 iu all) was occupied at
tlie time of our visit, many of the guests
of course being transients. Every con
venience to be obtained at any hotel in
the country ean be had here.
Sunday morning and night were spent
at Si. James’ Methodist Episcopal church,
of which the universally well known,
loved and admired Gen. Clement A.
Evans is pastor. St. James is a church
where God is worshipped for the love of
God. The fame of this church is too
well known and widespread to need an
other syllable from us. At the morning
service on Sunday the usual collection
was taken up. At the conclusion of the
service Rev. Mr. Evans announced that
another collection was then needed for
foreign missions. This was made among
the congregation, and $184.50 was collect
ed in a few minutes. People who never
before heard of St. James (if there be any)
will probably judge by this that it is a
church which has religion.

The Technological College.
Editors Home Journal:
The friends of technical learning in
Georgia are very naturally surprised and
mortified at the course pursued by some
of the commissioners appointed by the
Governor to take charge of this impor
tant interest. Especially are the people
of Greene indignant at the part enacted
by the member of the board from this
county. The following we find in the
Atlanta Constitution of the 20th:
“It was exactly 10 o’clock when the
first ballot was taken. It resulted as fol
lows:
Atlanta one vote—lnman.
Macon, one vote—Harris.
Athens, one vote —Hodgson.
Milledgeville, one vote—Porter.
l’enfield, one vote—Heard.
The second ballot resulted thus:
Atlanta, one vote—lnman.
Macon, one vote—Harris.
Athens, one vote—Hodgson.
Penfield, two votes —Heard and Porter.
The third ballot gave Atlanta the lead
which she held until twenty-one ballots
in all had been taken. It was as follows:
Atlanta two votes—lnman and Porter.
Macon one vote—Harris.
Athens one vote—Hodgson.
Penfield one vote—Heard.”
By the above it will be seen that Pen
field received the highest vote on the sec
ond ballot on the first day of the voting.
On the following day, to the surprise of
everybody, Mr. Heard voted for Atlanta,
to the exclusion of Penfield, his first
avowed choice, and Macon his next
avowed preference. Why did not the
Commissioner from Greene, like those
from Clarke aud Fulton, stand firm to the
last on his first convictions and choice ?
Failing to get this, why did he not go for
Athens, proximate to Greene and other
counties in Middle and Northeastern
Georgia ? I pause for * reply.

the death of Miss Annie Moore, beg leave
to make the following report:
Whereas, God in His wisdom and good
ness has removed from our midst our
beloved sister, Annie Moore, whose death
occurred on the night of the 6th inst. at
the residence of her father, Mr. Wm. A.
Moore.
And whereas we take this occasion to
recognize and commend to the Sabbath
School the Christian virtues exemplified
by our sister during her connection with
us.
Resolved, That as a Sabbath School
we will endeavor to still any desire to
murmur at this dispensation of Provi
dence, aud in humble submission to say
“Thy will be done.”
Resolved, That in the death of sister
Annie the Sabbath School has lost an
earnest worker at all times. The sever
ance of such relations is sad, but in the
present instance bow unspeakable. Thus
m a dispensation so solemn and impres
sive what can be said ? Why attempt to
fathom tbe doings of Him whose foot
steps are in the deep and His ways are
past finding out. For a bereavement so
heart-rending earth affords no solace;
words are empty sounds, and even the
tears and sympathies of bleeding hearts
fail to give relief. Nothing remains but
with humble submissiou and with the
hope of reunion in the better world, to
resign the precious treasure into the keep
ing of the Allwise and Good. And if the
suffering heart will ask why it is thus,
let the inquiry be hushed and the voice
be heard which whispers tenderly and
mournfully, “What 1 do thou knowest
not now, but thou shalt know hereafter.”
Resolved, That we exteud to the loving
parents and brothers and sisters our sym
pathy in their sad bereavement.
Resolved, That these preambles and
resolutions be published in our county
papers, and spread upou the minutes of
the Sunday school, and a copy of the
same be furnished the parents of the de
ceased.

A Sad Death.
It is seldom our duty to chronicle a
sadder death than that which occurred
on Suuday last at the home of her hus
band in the southern part of this county,
of Mrs. Thomas A. Cunningham’s sister
in-law of our associate, Hon. B. E. Rus
sell. Mrs. Cunningham was ill but a few
days (on Thursday previous to her de
mise giving birth to a still-born child,)
aud after which she slowly but surely
sank despite the best medical attention,
and on Sunday quietly breathed her pure
young life out, amid the the wails of her
two little motherless children who sur
vive her and the heart broken sobs of a
devoted and dutiful husband. Her re
mains were brought to this city on Mon
day afternoon and interred in the family
lot jn our cemetery—being followed to
their last resting place by a large num
ber of mourning relatives and friends.
Mr. Cunningham and family and rela
tives have tho sincere sympathies of the
entire community in their great sorrow
aud bereavement.
The above announcement, which ap
peared in the Bainbridge Democrat of re
cent date, will be read with regret by the
many relatives and friends of the bereav
ed household, which have our sincere
condolence.
Excursion to Georgia.
We find the following in the Olean (N.
Y.) Democrat:
“Mr. E. D. Northrup has secured an
other of his popular excursions to Geor
gia, which not only combines all the ad
vantages and attractions of his former
ones, but many more. He will also, in
connection with it, run a very fine and
clteap round-trip excursion from Atlanta,
Ga., to Uharleston, S. C., giving all a
chance at light cost to see, for once in a
lifetime, the fearful effects of an earth
quake upon a large and populous city, as
well as the many matters of historical in
terest around Charleston. The excur
sion will leave Salamanaca on Wednes
day, Nov. 10, 1886, connecting with all the
morning trains from the North and East.”
Mr. Northrup, it need hardly be said,
is a resident of Greene county, who about
a year ago settled in our midst from Cat
taraugus county, New York. He lias a
fine place near Greenesboro, where his
family are at present, and is esteemed by
our community as an enterprising and
progressive gentleman and citizen.
Every Farmer Needs It.
The October issue of “Dixie” just out,
is a model in every way, and no Southern
farmer can afford to be without this ex
cellent journal on his table. Especial
attention is paid to mechanical matters
and the “Dixie” is truly Southern in
every utterance. Among the notable
papers in the October number are the
war sketches, illustrated, by Mr. Jos. M.
Brown, son of the old Senator “Joe”
Brown, Georgia's famous politician.
Thore is an able article on “Railroads”
by Mr. J. F. Hudson, author of “The
Railways and the Republic.” Mr. Clem
ent Mason lias an admirable article on
the utilization of natural resources, while
the conclusion of Mr. Anderson’s series
on the “Minerals of Virginia” will be
read with interest. “Teeluiicalania” is
anew illustrated department conducted
by D. A. Tompkins, C. K., M. K., anil is
brim full of Interest. These are but a
few of the good things. “Dixie” will tie
sent for a year for adollartoall who send,
liefore Nov. 15, to the “Dixie” Cos., Con
stitution building, Atlanta, Ga Mechan
ics and those who contemplate buying
machinery of any kind can learn how to
save many a dollar by reading “Dixie.”
The journal haa increased its site and
uow stands as tha recognised leading
Southern industrial publication.

Tbe Great Bear.
Our town was visited yesterday by a
band of nomads with performing bears
and donkeys. They were the dirtiest set
of animals from first to last that ever ap
peared hero. It will take a dredging ma
chine to clean up this gang after a rain.
The sight of a pail of water at the
public well set the men and their
menagerie into hydrophobic hijinks.
These nasty gymnasts, if perforated
lengthwise with a pump borer and dried
ill an oven would make tolerably good
terracotta stove flues—if they didn’t
•moke.
