Cotton Crop. —The cotton crop in this
county is about three fourths gathered.
Owing to the long contiuued fair and
warm weather, the few bolds left by the
catterpiller, have nearly all opened and
gathered. The planters are so far behind
financially, by debts contracted for advan
ces, that they hare been compelled to run
their cotton into market, to make them
selves easy with the merchants. This fact
has led speculators and manufacturers to
believe that the crop is far greater than it
really'U. We are assured by reliable gen
tlemen that the crop is not more than a
b;ilf yield in thiy-county, and section.
Important to Gentlemen.—ls you wan

I. mated. —Mr. H. E. Courtney and J.

evening last. The lodge proposed a reso
lution to give a series of 'Tableaux and
Charades on the first Monday night, in
November next, to assist in paying neces
sary expenses. The following ladies and
gentlemen were appointed a committee
of arrangements :—Misses Minnie Woo
ten, Ella Iloge, Emma Stanly,—and Mess.
Davergne, J. W. McGill, G. P. Wooten,
T. M. Draffin and 0. G. Gurley.
The young ladies of the Order have
formed themselves into a “Calico Club,”
determined henceforth to wear no other
article of dress. We “jined.”
A Card of Thanks. — l take this method
of returning my sincere thanks to the gal
lant firemen of the Stonewall Engine, and
Oak City Hook and Ladder Companies, ps
also to my fellow-citizens, both white and
colored, for their disinterested services
rendered me on the occasion of the late
fire, by which the contents of my store
were saved from the flames,
I would also state that I have re-opened
a large and well selected stock of goods at
the store also occupied by E. J. Hender
son, on the corner of South Broad A
Broughton streets, where I shall be glad to
welcome my old customers and the public
generally.
Very Respectfully,
I. M. RoSENFELD.
Who Is the Incendiaryj?
Mr. Jackson H. Merritt is charged with
it, but until further light is thrown upon
the matter, we can never believe he did it,
and we here make the prediction, that the
trial next Saturday, will result in the hon
orable discharge of Merritt, and the ar
rest of parties not in the W«na. We
doubt not, but that circumstances so point
ed to Merritt as t# authorize the investi
gation but a thorough sifting of the evi
dence will in our opinion acquit him. We
know that the main witness for the prose
cution has already told three different
tales about it.
Prints at 8, 10 and 12J cents per yard
also all other goods suitable for housekeep,
iug. Goods at New York .prices at the
Flint River Stores.
The reason why Steininger & Engel at
their Flint River Stores, can sell goods for
less thau any other house in Bainbridge,
because they buy for cash. Occupy three
stores, two in Bainbridge. one at Valdosta,
tor which they need large quantity of
goods which they purchase from agents
and importers direct by the packages.
Steininger & Eusrle are just receiving
from the West and North, the largest stock
of Groceries ever brought to Bainbridge,
which they are offering at prices to suit
the times.
A complete stock of first-class family
groceries, consisting of new mackerel in
kits and quarter barrels, cheese, butter,
sugar, coffee, bacon, flour, rice, salt, crack
ers, pickles, jellies, at SteiniDger &
Engel’s.
I'll® State Fair. —Every day we are
convinced that the approaching fair will
be a success. The managersare push
ing matters ahead, and will do their part
to make everything pass off pleasantly and
agreeably. On yesterday the beautiful
Trinity Horse Power Engiue, from the
works of Todd & Rafferty, w r as received.
This engine is intended to drive the ma
chinery at the fair.
We are informed that one of Averling
& Porter's road locomotives will be shipped
from New York in a few days, for exhibi
tion.
R. H. Allen & Cos., of New York, will
send out some of their blooded stock, also
for exhibition.
From the interest being manifested it
seems that the Fair will be a highly credi
table one.—Atlanta Constitution.
President Thiers evidently differs with
Prince Bismarck. A conversation with
the veteran, recently published in La Pa
trie, represents him as giving it to be his
opinion that Germany has weakened her
self by the accession of non-German terri
tory. Whether France has gained strength
in proportion it not does not appear. The
rest of the interview is summarized hy
the despatch thus : “Everyone in Europe
desires peace. Russia is friendly and Aus
tria sympathises with France. Italy re
members the past. France will have her
revenge, not by arms, but by work. She
has nothing to fear.”
“Honor to Whom Horor li Due*
From a heart full of kindly feelings
we write to express our unfeigned
gratitude and admiration for the
cou/fce pursued by that portion of
our colored voters who nobly and
resoluteley deposited their ballots
for the Democratic ticket Let
there be no boasting on the part of
the whites, that we have acheived a
victory over them, but let us rather
rejoice that with them we have
achieved a victory that secures the
rights and interests of dll classes :
and that the black people are be
ginning to find out that that their
interests are not opposed to ours
but whatever injures us alike injures
them , and whatever inures to our
benefits inures to their own. This
should be our boast—thi« our joy—
that politically we are becoming a
homogenous people. Let the white
people have a word of kind cheer
for those who have said, “thy people
shall be my people,” and for those
of them still misguided in their
ignorance, let us exercise a patient
forbearance. Once more wfe say, we
honor the black men who have
crossed the line that divided us, and
are now our political alliea.n jjtfadir

Th* President’s Costly Stable.—
So many denials have been made
regarding the accuracy of previous
statements as to the beauty and cost
of the President’s stables in this
city, it is proper to say that Super
vising Achitect Mullett, in his last
annual report, substantially admit
ted all the facts stated by the Libe
ral newspapers, and admitted that
the stable was built without authori
ty of Congress, with money appro
priated for another distinctive
purpose, and wholly in violation of
law, and that its cost, exclusive of
site, which already belonged to the
Government, was over $27,000. It
is learned from the builder of the
stable that the President was fully
informed upon the matter, and
indicated to the architect the number
of stalls which he should require for
his horses. There is not in this city
more than half a dozen private
houses which equal this stable in
point of architectural beauty and
cost.— Washington Cor. Cincinnati
Commercad.
A Jersey paper tells a very inter
esting story of a little . boy in that
State. He was climping an apple,
tree, and when upon the topmast
limb he slipped and fell to the
ground. He was picked up and
carried to the house in an insensible
condition. After watching by his
bedside through many weary hours,
his mother perceived signs of return
ing consciousness. Leaning over
him she asked if there was anything
she could do for him, now that he
began to feel better? Should she
bathe his forehead, or change his
pillow, or fan him? Was there any
thing he wanted? Opening his
eyes languidly, and looking at her
he said: “Yes I want a pair of pants
with a pocket behind." He got
them.
Rats Leaving thh Sinking Ship.—
As an evidence of the complete over
throw and demoralization of the
Radical party in Georgia it is only
necessary to see in many places, the
nominees of the rotten crew declin
ing the honors.
Mr. Sampson Bell declines to take
the race for Congress in this Dis
trict. Mr. Geo. S. Thomas declines
to run for Representative in Fulton,
as did one of the nominees in Sump
ter, and so it has been in many other
places. It is too plain to admit of
contradiction that the administra
tion Party, as far as this State is
concerned, is a defunct institution.
We have no tears to shed over the
rotten carcass however, and only
pause to say ; “so mote it be” for
ever. — lndependent,
