A profit of »e to seven dollars and a half on a bale, will induce any planter to take his cotton to another market, though it may be much further to haul the cotton. The people of 8chley desire to bring their cotton and trade to Americus. if the dUcrepency in prices are not loo great, but as the market now stands they intend that Columbus shall be their market in future. Cannot our buyers do well as Columbus, and thus hold on to o Fchley county friends.

Marshal Lingo arrested ie Ernest Williams, a colored boy, for shooting a “flip” on the streets, which is a violation of the city ordinance. Mayor Fel der sentenced Ernest to a fine of fifteen dol lars and costs in default, thirty days labor The boys had better throw their “flips” away as the Marshal says beintends to break up the “flip” business if be has to employ secret police to do it, and the Mayor has de termined to punish every boy caught shoot ing one in the city, with a fine or work on the streets. The things are more dangeronstban a pistol or gun, for its work is silent and quite as destructive. A few days ago, a val uable canary bird belonging to Mrs. W. K.

On Tuesday morning last. Captain Smith G. Davenport, living twelve miles east of Americus was robbed, by two masked men, of twenty-two hundred and some odd dollars. From all that we can learn it seems that Captain Davenport had been to Columbus and collected some twenty-three hundred dollars, a portion of which, we believe, he was to pay lor the rent of the place he living on Tuesday morning he arose t early and went to his stable to feed his horses preparatory to starting to Americus. As he entered ibe stable yard two masked m tacked him from behind a large oak, he Uken from his person and the robers depart- In his struggles Captain Davenport cried out loud enough to be heard by his son it with a shot gun, but the robbers bed succeeded in securing their booty, and made good their esc»pe.

Editor.—Our community is mov ing along in tb« even tenor of her way despite cf all the obstacles thrown in her way—hot from the election of Gar field, has caused a raffle upon her plac id bosom. Wc are convinced that he is elected; aid that nothing can pre vent his inauguration, and we would no^if wc could, raise a finger to pre vent it. As far as our dear Southland concerned, he is powerless to harm her if he should desire ever 60 much to do so. All we ask or desire is to be let alone to work out our own prosper ity and happiness. We have the re sources and the will to develop them, and success will be ours, if we are al lowed the same right and privileges as other sections of our great country. I went to Cnthbert last week to at tend the Bethel Association which con vened at that place, and was delighted with the appearance of things. Wc met a great many people and heard good preaching. Cnthbert is a flourishing town, her educational, so cial and moral advantages are unsur passed, and the hospitality of her peo ple is par excellence. They understand the art of making their guest feel that they are at home among friends instead of among strangers. While there 1 went to the Agricultural College and it in operation with four teachers and a hundred boys in attendance—was much pleased with tho .management of the school. Prof. V. T. Sanford, the President is wonderfully adapted to the instruction of the young. How my heart swell with pride wlieu I think of the facilities afforded to the youth of our land for a liberal education for in tellectual and moral training—it is this that makes Georgia the Empire State of the South. Our people were not surprised, nor disappointed at the election of Joseph E. Brown to the United States Senate on Tuesday. He was the choice of the majority of them, and we know that the interests of our dear State could not be confided to more faithful or abler hands. Georgia lias reason to he proud of the influence she wields in the Uni ted States Senate. She has given to the country two of her grandest intel lects. Onr Court meets on the fifth Mon day in this month. It is to he hoped that the busiuess of the court can he dispatched without let or hindrance. For two successive courts business has been laid over on account of the ah- settee of Colonel Hawkins, hut this cause no longer exists. Jarg< New Goods. Mr. H. D. Watts is again before tbe people with a card, inviting every one to call and examine liis new line of goods which are of every variety of dry goods, clothing, crock ery, liquors, family groceries, tobacco, etc. There is hardly any one who will believe that he sells as cheap as he says, but a trial will convince all that it is true. He has canned goods of every variety, condensed milk, candies, crackers, and a great number of articles that it would weary one to read in a newspaper article, but which the reader can get by calling at his store. See adver tisement. Good Prices. On Thursday last the Administrator on the estate of George Johnson, deceased, had a sale of the perishable property of the estate. The prices obtained were pretty good. Corn ■old for seventy-five cents per bushel; fodder teventy-fiTc cents per hundred pounds, cot ton seed from ten to thirteen cents per bushel, syrnp—good—forty-eight to fifty cents per gallon. Milch cows sold pretty cheap, twenty dollars a head being the highest price paid, while dry cattle sold for seven dollars. Mules sold for eighty to eighty-seven dollars, while horses only brought sixty or sixty-five dollars.

He had traded the mule for a yoke of oxen, we learn, and was trying to dispose of them when overtaken by Mr Johnson It seems that the colored gentle man will have a chance to serve the State for a longer period than is generally accord- el to her distinguished sons.

So far as the rendition of Ibe two plays were con cerned, little fault can be found. The ladies especially, performing their respective parts with a degree of skill that would be highly creditable to professionals The gentlemen, or a portion were not quite up to the mark. Mr. Somerton was not a very ardent love maker, and entirely too mechanical in the portrayal of his parts. A gill or two of XXX would, in all probability, have stimulated him to the sublime. Had he have tipped ns the wink in time, we would have tendered tbe desired aid. Timothy Brown was all right in this re spect, and possibly a little too much so, for he allowed bis angry passions to rise simply because Mr. Johnathan Smith had forgotten blow the flute at the proper time.

It is difficult to realise the enormous power of the bright speck, ehiniag so quietly ia the sky. A recent writer has shown that the power which the ana has to put forth to hold Jupiter in hie orbet is equal to the combined strength of 170,000,000 bars of solid steel, each ono mile in diameter.
