Besides being the greatest showman in the world, Mr Baruum is for Greeley and good gov ernment. TV e will give him a cordial greeting here. 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 a good suit of clothing, boots or shoes, hats shirts, bows, collars, undershirts and draw ers, etc., etc., of the latest styles and to suit your pockets, go to Steiniuger & En gel's Flint River Stores. N. B. Also a full stock of clothing suit able for boys. I. mated. —Mr. H. E. Courtney and J. W. McGill, Were initiated into the Inde pendent Order of Good Templars Tuesday 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 son Appeal. 4 st roved. | t 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, GURLEY & RUSSELL.
