th* first new bale naturally seeking this market. Our

reputation so well earned in the past three years. In
their success, and iu the estimation in which our
planters hold them, they exemplify what a straight

Accident.
On Sunday the 23d of August last a heart-rending
accident happened to a young lady, aged sixteen years,
residing in Banks county. Two young ladies, Misses
Patterson, cousins, were together in a room sporting
with a musket, which, contrary to their belief, was
loaded. The piece discharged from some cause and
emptied twelve buckshot into Miss Sarah A- Patterson,
killing her instantly.
POLICE COURT REPORTS.
44 Heaven help as all id these terrific d*ys!
The burning sun upon the earth is pelting
With his dir ec teat, tier coat, hottest rays.
And everything is melting 1
Fat men, infatuate, fan the stagnant air.
In rash essay to cool taeir inward glowing.
While with each stroke, in dolorous desi sir,
They feel the fever glowing.
Tne lean and lathy find a fate as hard.
For, all a-dry, they barn like any tinder.
Beneath the solar blaze, till withered, charred,
And crisped away to cinder!
E’en stoics now are In their melting mood.
And vestal cheeks are most unseemly florid.
The very zone that gins the frigid prude
Is now intensely toTrid 1 ”
The 44 vestal cheeks” of the worthy Major, which
re always unusually florid for a man who hasn’t tast
ed a drop for more than twenty years, (his own state
ment at the Turnvercin picnic) was mads to glow
more intensely yesterday morning, when Jonsen
tackled him on the comer of Whitehall and Alabama
streets and informed him that the weather had proven
too many for even th« stoical Recorder, and that that
obese individual was infatuated, and wae at that time
fanning the stagnant air of a higher court room.
Twas in vain that he pleaded business—Jonsen meant
work but came very near not having any court when
he inadvertently remarked that there were several
ladies* names on the docket Not that the Mayor is
afraid of a woman. Not him. Jonsen mentioned the
name of one whom the Mayor had occasion to fine
soon time since, and who has ever since entertained
Modoc feelings for him. When the Marshal twitted
him on this point, he remarked:
“O darn it all!—a feared of her,
And anch a mite of a gal;
Why, two of her size rolled into one
Won’t ditto Sister Sal.
Her voice is sweet as the whippowill’e.
And the sunshine’s in her hair;
But I d rather face a redskin’s knife,
Or the grip of a grizzly bear.
Though she ain't any size, while I’m
Considerably tall,
I’m nowhere when she speaks to iue.
She makes me feel so small.
My face Brows red; my tongue gels hitched.
The cussed thing won’t go;
It riles ine, ’cause it make# her think
I’m moot tarnation slow.”
My sake*, just ’spose if what the folks
Is saying should be to!
Go, Jonaen, and speak to her.
Find cut and let me know;
While Barry fays: “She’s such a dear,
She’s just the one for you.’
O darn it all!—a feared of a gal,
And me just six feet two!"
By the time the eonveraatu n was ov*r tho twain
had reached the Station House, and there,
to the Mayor’s horror, were assembled
seme of tho best legal talent in the State, among
whom might be mentioned Mcssis. Hog , Ellis.
ThrasLer, Wiel and Abbott, to say nothing of one or
two live Aldermen. Arranged around the room were
a number of ladies, gentlemen and spect&’or*—prin
cipals and witnesses—all combined to add effect and
dignity to the scene. But the Mayor was into it
deep, and backing his ears ho went into the docket
like a horse in a corn crib.
The ca*e against the junk dealers was fh>t called,
and alter a little wrangling among the lawyers and
Marshal, it waa postponed till Saturday, at which
time old T- and C. will be on band and will >ettle its
hash, one way or another. That’s the sort oi a man
he is.
Osborne Fuller, Oliver Heard snd Solomon Jordan,
three West End darkies, were each fined $20 and costs
for assaulting and throwing rocks on lastSnudiy even
ing at a Mr. Blackatock.
Mr. John Wood is a gentleman from the rural
“deestricts” who came into the city to get oat of the
range of the hog cho'era. Mr. Wood from appear
ances, la a seasoned piece of curled hickory, full of
knots and cross-grained. He has arrived at the con
clusion that life is a mere matter of guesc-work.
Carrying out this theory practically in the selection of
his wines, he made a wrong guess and swallowed a
pint of “old IiUMHeil'’ for Piper Heidsick. This, of
course, threw him iff bis «qni ibrium, ami he retired
to the pavement. In extenuation of his mtejudgroent,
he stated to the court that ha hid bt-on afflicted
several (lays with a sickness in his stomach and took
the whisky as a medicinal agent. The court fined
Mr. Wood, one dollar and cofcte, which he paid, and
went out singing—
44 Wood I were a boy again.”
Mr. F. W. Potts, supposed to be one of the original
fiesb-pots” of Egypt, was found by the guard the
largest Pott's-ful of Robertson county that Las been

“TO THE DEATH !”
A Double Homicide—A Tsat'hcr ami Pu
pil Iu Banks County Stab Eu«
Other to Death—A Bloody
Affair,
It becomes our duty to chronicle one of the sadJest
occurrence* that lias taken place iu Georgia for mauy
da. *. It was a difficulty between a teacher and oue of
his students, a young man, which resulted iu the
SUDDEN DEATH OF BOTH THE PAHIIFA.
The horrible tragedy was enacted in Banks county,
near Homer, the county site, on Friday last, the 28th
of August. The teacher of the school was Mr. Alfred
Alexander, aged forty years, and the student, Mr.
John U. Moss, a young man aged about twenty-one
ye->rB. It appears that once again
A WOMAN WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AFFAIR.
Mrs. Alexander, wife of the principal, was, we learn,
present of her own volition, but not in the discharge
of any regular duty as teacher or in any other capaci
ty. Her custom, however, had been to observe th i
conduct and deportment of tho pupils, and wheu she
considered them guilty of any breach of decorum, to
report them to her husband for reproof or other piu-
ishment. On this occasion the subject of her
UEPORTOHIAL CAPACITY
was the young man referred to,'.Mr. Moss. When
his attention was called to the matter iu question he
denied the charge made by Mrs. Alexander, which led
to an animated and angry dispute. Alexander became
enraged at the young roan for the part tak?n iu tho
controversy by him, and advancing towards Mr. Mos»,
drew his knife snd
STABUED HIM IN THE BREAST.
Moss in turn advanced with a dagger and
PLUNORD ir INTO ALEXANDER’S HEART.
This was a fatal wound, and the mau foil. Ju»t then
Moss turned to leave, but Mrs. Alexander, who was at
the side of her husband, wrung the knife from Lis
hand and administered one or two severe cuts to Mo^s
in the back, near the region of the spine. The result
that both lay moxtally wound* d on the scene of
the conflict, and both expired iu a short time, the one
within three minutes of the other.
It is not definitely known whether Moss died from
the wounds received from the wife or husband as all
were seveie and reasonably sufficient to produce
death. The whole school and entire community were
thrown into the deepest consternation and excitement
over the horrible affair which, though short, was so
decisive and terrible.
City Council Proceedings.
Alderman Itice advocated action to-n ght.
Mayor Hammond (Alderman Mecaslio in the Chair)
4 made the point of order that the resolution could not
j be adopted to-night without violating the Buies of the
Council,
Tho Chairman ruled the poiut well taken.
Alderman Boring seconded Aldeiman Dodd’s reso
lution, but wanted it understood ho was in favor of
water works, and in favor of ihe resolution. The pa
pers had misrepresented his position on the water
queslion.
Alderman Be a tie also favored reference, but was In
favor of water works, now that something tangible
was prevented.
On motion oi Mr. Laugt-ton the committee was in
creased to seven, and tho motion prevailed. The fol
lowing is the committee;
Dodd, Brothertou, Young, Spark •*, Rice, Coring and
Langston.
This committee is to act in conjunction with the
Water Commissioners.
Mayor Hammock and Alderman Young were author
izetl to let out a small contract of grading on the mos
favorable terms.
On motion. Council adjourned.
Catholic Entertainment Last Evening.
The beautiful, bright September moon, the mild at
mosphere snd the recollection of the previous eater-
tainment, induced a tremendous crowd to visit Con
cordia Hall last evening, to witness the second appear
ance of the Amateurs for the benefit of the Catholic
Parsooage. The programme was almost entirely
changed from last week, but none the less enteresting*
The costumes assumed by the different character* were
highly appropriate in their respective roles, of the
magnificent tableau presented. The Readings, Music.
kc., were an improvement of the first per
formance, and aome of the ballads ware exquisitely
beautiful, especially “Auld Lang 8yne,” the rendition
of which drew tears from a number ot the more elderly
portion of th* audience, at the mellow cadences of the
singer vividly brought to mind tho scenes and ci r-
cumstanccs attending their earlier days in the mother
country-
The first p4rt of the programme tailed off well
enough, as did tbe'second also, but for the lack of
promptness la presenting the successive tableaux.
Some restlessness was manifested at these delays ;
which was abundantly exhibited in loud calls for tbe
curtain to rise. A little more attention to this particu
lar thing would not have detracted a particle of
iuterest iu the performance, and the manager iu fu
ture should look more closely to hia business.
Financially we congratulate the ladies and gentle
men upon their success, which was nearly, if no*
quite, equal to the first entertainment.

A Nut for the Street Committee to t rack.
To the Editor* of the Herald:
I notice on broad, Forsyth ami Hunter streets tbat
instead of blue rock for macadamising, the contrae
tors are using a large portion of gray and flint rock. I
am told by the beat of civil engineers that these gray
and flint rocka mixed with blue rock will make, in a
few years, a very uneven street; that tbe flint rock
will soon grind to gravel and leave a hole. 1 am aiso
told that the contract specified a given number of
inches in the centre of street and at the sidewalks.
Doe* th.s work come up to contract?
Respectfully, Tax-Payer.
Tall Corn ANn Big Cobb —Beautiful alliteration,
but it does not impair the atrength of the fact that
there is now to be seen at tbe oflfce of the Georgia
State Lottery, a sample of corn taken at random from
a field of eighteen acres, on the model farm of Colonel
James D. Waddell, situated six miles North of Mari
etta, the ears measuring thirteen and a half inches in
length without counting the tips, and nine and a half
inches in circumference. The variety Is known as the
Dsn Johnson “Excelsior,” snd has been brought to its
present high state of development by the sensible cul
tivation of one of Georgia's most scientific farmers
Yet Georgia brings her bread from the West.

JUDGE W. B. SMITH PltKHlMNG,
Before Commissioner Smith, yesteiday, Bppto Ker
shaw. of Elbert county, was required to give bond in
$300 to appear at the District Ccuit to answer tbo
charge of Illicit distilling-
Hill k Conley for tbs defendant; no com.*-! for the
Government.
H* also tried Pinckney Mo >n, a boy apparently about
eighteen years of age, for carrying on the business of
a distiller and retailing liquors without license. There
being no evidence against him, he was discharged.
Hill A Conley for defense; no counsel for Govern'
meet.
Only three of the Elbert county prisoners remain to
be tried, and (bees will probably be d.*poecd of to-
Full many a glass of purest rye, sir, e’en
His weak, unfathomed inward caves may bear;
Full oft hie radiant face may blnsb unseen:
Unmasked, his breath may scent the bnrtbened air.”
John Williams, a “youth to fortune and to fame un
known,” was picked up in the street in a state of col
apsed drunk. His weak unfathomed inward caves
refused to carry any nioie wet freight, and he stranded
on a broken curbstone. He was entered at the McA-
demical Institution to carve out his freedom with a
dull pick upon the senseless rock.
John Manuel endeavored to go through the 44 man
ual of the piece” with his stove-pipe hat, and fell over
it, and for some hours found it impossible to get the
sidewalk from off his back, and finally lay there from
sheer exhaustion. The Court commended his praise,
worthy efforts to maintain a proper standing iu tbe
community, and, applauding his desire to walk up
right in tbe sight of the bar-room*, awarded him a
premium of five dollars.
Jim Phelan was discovered “ feclin” about on the
ground for a place to climb up, when the police as
sisted him, and he Lad to pay for the services ren
dered :
“ There in the moonshine, cold and gray,
Prostrate and very drunk he lay;
And from the ground, in dismal tone,
A voice came like a dying moan —
4 Histed!’ ”
Here the weather became so hot and the room so
close and stifling that the Mayor got too aick to pro
ceed, and ordered Jons n to clcse tbe Court, when the
troubles were ovqy for tbe day.
DASHES HERE AND THERE.
The saddle which General Cleburne usedjat the time
he was shot is on c xhibition at the Library. It is an
old dilapidated war relic, and oue *n which is centred
a great deal that is interesting. Mr. Herbst has also a
beautiful wreath of Georgia ferns, which were gather
ed near Dalton, and formed into txquiaice shapes by
friend of the Association.
The biggest sensation on the afreets yesterday wae
“spanking team of four-in-hand,” which were on th
streets. The lines were manipulated by the prince of
horsemen. Col. Oliver H- Jones, and were four beauti
ful, sleek black animals from his stables.
There la but little sickness in the city at present,
few slight cases of a billions type are all that are
ported outside of the ordinary ailments or tbe season.
Our merchants generally are receiving hea\y in
voices of fall goods, and in the course of s week the
city will be filled with them.
The appointment of Mr. George M. Heed as General
Freight Agent of the Georgia Railroad, Is a miste
stroke of policy by tbe corporation which will be
heartily indorsed by every friend of tbe road, as weJj
as by Mr. Reed’s hosts of admirers throughout the
country. He is known snd remembered by all who
have passed over that road on his train, as one of the
cleverest snd most accommodating conductors in the
South. He is an honest and upright gentleman, and
the traveling public will TegTot his promotion, which
will force his removal as a conductor. We sincerely
hop* tbat his successor will prove a* popular with tbs
pub.leas Mr. Reed has always been.
Pcrional Intelligence.
On yesterday we noticed Mr. Joe. Hull as a repre
sentative of Colquitt k Bagg of Savannah. Mr. Hull
uas dissolved his connection with the above Ann and
has formed a copartnership with Mr. E. H. Ctben.
The firm are doing s general commission and cotton
brokerage business. Being intimately acquainted with
both numbers of this firm, 'we cheerfully indorse
them, not only aa men of tbe strictest integrity, but
aiso as gentlemen who are willing to make personal
sacrifices to farther"tbe interests of their customers.
We candidly think that men in this section of tbe
State will find it to their advantage to form business
relations with the firm of Cohen k Hall of Savannah.

A Bargain for Somebody.—We refer to the Mt,
Airy propei ty i ffered for sale or rent. We know the
owner snd can attest his reliability. Tbe property is
situated at tbe new and flourishing town abont thirty
miles above Gainesville, on the Air-Line Railroad, In
the midst of a fine section of country. A new hotel 1*
also being erected, which will contain eighty rooms.
Mt. Airy Is a healthy place, and the highest point or
the ronte from New Orleans to New York, being 660
leot higher than Atlanta. It is therefore destined to
be, at no distent day, a popular rammer resort.
Pursuant to a call of the Mayor, the Council met last
night at 8 o’clock, at tbe Recorder’s Court Room.
Present—His honor C. C. Hammock, Mayor, anil a
full board of Aldermen, < xcept McLendou, B; otlier-
ton and McMillan.
His Honor Btated that tho meeting was called to re
ceive the report of the Water Commissioner*.
Tho Committee of the Board of Water Commission,
ers presented their report through their chairman-
Dr. C. L. Redwine.
Their report was quite lengthy and elaborate, giv
ing the estimated approximate cost cf a supply of
1,500,000 gallons of water daily, with proper pipes,
hydrants, etc., for tiro or other purposes, from a sys
tem of wells, if practicable, $130,(>00, or from South
River, $255,000, from Peachtree Creek. $280.00), and
from the Chattahoochee, $147,000.
The committee tbiuk from Mr. Ketcbum’s report
that the well system is impracticable, but are willing
it desired, to mike a reasonable teat in that direction
They recount tho great necessity of a water snpp’y,
on account of tho preservation of health—greater se
curity from fire as well as the greatly enhanced lents
of real estate, etc.
They ask tho issuing of $300,000 00 in Water Binds,
secured by a first mortgage on the Water Works—be,
sides being protected by the plighted faith ot th: city-
and such bonds would by being thus doubly secured,
command a much higuer price than ordiuary city
bonds.
After tbe conclusion of the leading of tbe report,
Col. G. W. Adair, by request of the Council, addressed
them oa the subject.
He thought there waa uo qut atiou about the necta-'i-
ty of establishing suitable water-woiks for s&nitary
and fire purposes, as well as to ntiliz3 much valuable
property.
He thought tne issuing of $300,000 in bonds ■
ceasary. aod was prepared, as one of tLc commission,
ers, to account to the people tor the proper expend!
ture of the money.
He at first thought $123,000 would pay fur proper
works, but finding that the works woo d Ikj a paying
investment, by utilizing properly and w_ter rates, he
was willing to come up a little.
The delay of the commissioners had saved tho
$250,000.
South river did not head ia Atlanta, as Dr. Thurman
thought, bat at West End Depot.
Ho was willing to teat the well system reasonably,
Lut wanted no money wasted. Did not think the well
system would furnish a proper supply. Our present
system did not protect us sufficiently against firs.
Shall we not meet the emergency upon us ? The
water rates and saving of insurance will pay the in
terest on the bonds. The Commissioners desire to
advertise for the men who will do the woik cheapest
and show proper vouchers for every cent supplied
and expended. None of the Commissioners want to
make a dollar out of water works indirectly. Tbe
utilizing of the upper stories of one, two and three
story buildings, would increase tbeir taxable value to
a very considerable expense.
The dust in the city is insupportable—a big fire
would cost the city much more than the interest on
tbe water bonds aeked for. $125,000 would fill the
cisterns, but would not furnish an adequate supply
of water for all purposes needed. Was a large tax
payer himself and was willing to pay taxes cheerfully
for good side-walks, McAdamising, water-works, Ac.—
Complimented the present Council ou their judicious
expenditure of the public money this year. Tbe Coun
cil and Board of Commissioners should act in concert,
in harmony. Thought there should be no hesitation
on the part of the Council. Thought the Legislature
hail very wisely put a brake on the Commissioners by
forcing them to look to Council for money.
Let bonds be issued, contracts be awarded and tho
work be pushed forward vigorously and completed by
next summer. Dr. Redwine hoped and believed that
tbe Council would not take any dodge on them by the
well system. He believed the majority of tbo Council
were ready to act and act now.
It was neccessary for tbe Commissioners to kno«
whether wo were to have water works or not before
wo could employ a competent engineer, Ac.
When tbe bonds are issued if the well system is
found practicable, of course, only so many of tho
bonds as are nece ssary wil • be used.
A proper test of tbo well system would cost a good
deal.
President Anthony Murphy stated that of course It
would take aome timo to properly negotiate tbe bonds.
Before the work was commenced the bonds woul 1 bo
properly negotiated.
Alderman Rice thought if this Council ever intended
to do anything for water works it was high lime they
were about it. Had no faith in the well system, but
was willing it should be tested.
Colonel J. A. Stewart was called on for hi* view’s
the subject. He was a water works man. The cheap
est plan which would furnish a full supply ought to
be adopted. Thought ihe estimates were too low
Rome under-estimated hers, but everybody was satis
fied with them, and they wero £»*lf-sustaining,
city had ever abandoned her water works.
The doubt hanging round the well system was the
only trouble, but if there was a strong probability of
success it ought to be tested.
The present supply was furnished by shallow
The water bed proper, Las never been tested.
He suggested various plans for a tea;. A twenty foot
well seventy teet deep with proper engines, etc., would
net cost more ihsu {h.ioo to $in,ooo. He thought
th* Council could safely Issue the bauds asked for-
thst the Commissioner would usj them prpperly.
Believed they would test the well system properly—
explained the plan adopted at Rome, and doubted
whether Rome waa a better locality than this for
Coheu A Selig are receiving their fall and winter
stock, and all tbeir clciks arc busily engaged in open
ing canes of goods and placing them iu tbeir respec
tive shelves preparatory to a gtund rush of the peo
ple.
Mr. Morrison, of that sterling hardware house, Mor
rison, Bain k Co., will leave for the North iu a few
days for the purpose of purchasing a now stock. This
firm, although the youngest of all the hardware houses
iu Atlanta, has been remarkably successful, and now
ranks with tbe oldest and most solid firms in the city.
Hard workers, prompt, attentive and enterprising, tho
members deserve the success they have attained.
May the shadow of Donny never grew less.
M. Hirsch, who has been North for some time past,
has begun shipping bis fall goods to tbe city. On
yesterday the numbers of cases of goods on the tide-
walk, with Joe Hirsch presiding over them with a
hammer, told if new coats, pants and vests of tho la
test fashion.
Gutbmau k Haas are also getting ready for tbe sea-
>u. They are daily receiving tresh supplies of li-
quotc, wines, etc., and judging from tbe rapidity with
which they have inert aaed their business in the past
wil! come to tbe front this winter. There is no liquor
house in the city which has s more deservedly favora
ble reputation for reliability and for tbs purity and
excellence’of their goods.
Col. Bob Maddox has returned from bis recent trip
to Virginia, where he bought up all tbe tobacco he
could lay his hands upon, and he is now prepared to
sell tbe “fragrant weed” iu any quantity, from a cbec-
ront to five hundred or more boxes. Tho Colonsl re
ports that Old Virginny hospitality is as open hearted
as ever. People there g>t bold of him, wined him, fed
him and lodged him into a happy frame of mind, and
would not allow him to Kay “money” to them. Bob
is as cheerful and happy as a Juue bug, and he be
lieves that finances will be easy this winter.
There will be a lively rivalry between tbe mei chant
tailoring establishments this winter. M. k J. Hirsch
will add a custom-made department to their house,
and have made extensive arrangements for this pur
pose. They, with Lowe, Eismau, Dykemau aud Jones,
will enable the “average” At auta aud vicinity man to
dress in exquisite style. And then tliuy all swear by
the Herald.
W. H. Brothertou, having postponed his departure
for California, intends to bring »big,stock of goods to
the city this fall. He is of opinion that tho corner o»
Whitehall and Mitchell street can fb'.l cheaper aud
better goods than auy where else, and—his store ia
always crowded.
Stephens & Flynn report the demand for their fa
mous Arrow Ties quite bri*k, which indicates that
more cotton than usual has been raised in tbe country
tributary to Atlanta. They are the sole agents iu At
lanta for these celebrated ties.
The New York Store expects the largest and moat
eli g int stock of dry goods ever brought to Atlanta.—
One of tho firm is now in New York purchasing. Stein,
heirner says that when his goods arrive every husband
aud father in the city will beg for mercy.
In the drug business there is nothing new to report.
Fox maintains his equilibrium, snd has resumed bis
wonted smiles ever siuce the Courier-Journal resumed
its daily visits. Next to tbe Hkbald, he swears—no,
affirms—by our Louisville cotemporary.
John Kcely has been taking stock. He, too, we un
derstand, will shortly start ou bis Northern trip to
purchase hia fall and winter goods. Capt. Keely sold
much cheap goods this year—by purchasing bank
rupt stocks—that it ia the prevailing opiuion of every
body that he made “a big pile.” Accordingly, he is
expected to “spread himself ” this winter.
Mark Johnson’s magnificent warehouse continues to
be a scene of bustle and activity. Mr. Jouhson is
himself absent from the city, but under the managr.
ment of his ablo and energetic brother, Mr. William
F. Johnson, hia . extensive bu*inat>a runs in its ac
customed channel wifh regularity and dispatch. Mr.
Woodruff, who recently joined Mr. Johnson in the
carriago business, is, as usual, pushing matters and
will soon make Lii Carriage Repository tbe centre of
attraction.
Want of space prevents our noticing any mors pte-

From a report of a speech of Col. Hughe*
Republican candidate tor Governor of Vir
ginia: As he looked out upon his audience no
beam of sympathy came from a single eye
that he in other days cared for. So generous
applause said go on, we will listen. The Earl
of Essex, on the scaffold, about to be be
headed, could not have looked lonelier than
he did before he uttered his first sentence—“I
am a native of the county of John Randolph,
of Roanoke.’' His voice weakened before he
reached the close, and in the next sentence,
“ I reside in tbe great Southwest, the country
of the Prestons, the Floyds, the Johnstons,
whose blood courses the veius of my sou,’’ it
grew less steady. If a mau at this juncture
had said anything unkind to the speaker, Le
ought to have beon murdered without ‘the
benefit of the clergy.’
The Loudon correspondent of the Manches
ter Guardian understands that the Ducbets
of Inverness has bequeathed much of the
property left by her husband, the Duke of
Su88*x, to various members of the royal fam
ily, and that tbe principle legatees will be tbe
Princess of Wales, the Princess Mary Ade
laide, and the Duke of Cambridge.
Col. Roundel), an English traveler, who
undertook to explore the interior of Persia iu
the disguise of a peasant, is believed to be
dead, as no tidings have reached his liicuds
for several years.

fNIVERSARY MEETING AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS
FOR THE CURRENT TERM—SPEECHES AND
AN INTERESTING OCCASION
GENERALLY.
The anniversary meeting of tho Atlauta Turaverotn
Society, composed of our German fellow-citizena,
took plsco yesterday evening and passed
off pleasantly and tbe proceedings were of more than
ordinary interest. The attendance was good, and
after the transaction of the r< gular business, the soci
ety proceeded to elect officers for the current term,
with the following result:
Erster Sprecher: 0. J. Welnmeister.
Zwelter Hprecher: H. Kissel.
Erster Turnwsrt: Ph. Schramm,
Zweitor Turn wort: John Rsoscheuhcrg.
Erster Shrittwart: E. Hlrt.
Zweitor Scbriftwart: J. C. Orafer.
Kassenwiirt: John Jentzcn.

Nearly all of th© officers, except Mr. Wsinnielater,
are elected for the first time, and tbe unanimity, har
mony and period good feeling that was exhibited by
all the members was singular—and yet, foes far to
wards showing the cause that has led to ibe former
success of the organization and it-< present flattering
condlti ou. *
The officers elect were called for and Messrs. Weio-
meister and others responded in appropriate, but
brief speeches. Their remarks were rec#4ved with
enthusiastic applause. There were several secessions
to the membership lad evening, snd with the efficient
and live corps ot officers, we predict for thuTurn Ve*
rein a brilliant record.
‘•Music i»t the Band.”—At s very reasonable hour
last night, Prof. Wurm’s excellent band appeared in
front of tbo Herald establishment aud regalod tbe
editors and employees of the office with three pieces
of fine music, which they ox ecu ted In a faultless and
soul-stirring manner. This band bos been at Catoosa
Springs for the past two months, and its absence from
the city has been tbe subject of remark, aud with th#
people in general, we hail the return of tho members
with plessur*.
The Governor’s Guard.—This splendid voisnieer
company waa out last night for the first time in fall
uniform, snd under the command of Captain W. II.
Weems and Lieutenant Boyd, paraded through the
streets, presenting a fine soldierly appearance. The
uniform is handsome end attractive. Although not
long organized, the company is well disciplined. They
will tu rn out this afternoon for a dress parade.
We learn that a mass meeting cf the Grangera of
