A Dangerous Bluff*
Near the bridge, crossing the M. & W.
R. R., on the extension of Second street,
is a very dangerous cliff, made by the rail
road cut. It is in the street, and since the
bridge has been built, it has become quite
a thoroughfare. We hope the city will do
something towards having it fixed.
A wall built up from the railroad bed
and surmounted by a railing will be the
thing.
An accident may happen there at any
moment, especially of dark nights. Would
it not be judicious to remedy it before.
Ink Eraser-
There is an agent in this city, we learn,
who is peddling a peculiar acid which in
stantly upon application removes ink
from paper and leaves an entirely clean
surface, on which words may be written
without the least danger of blotting and as
easily as upon the unspotted page. Ex
periment has shown that by the use of
this chemical repeated erasures can be
made on the same spot, with entire safety
aud without the slightest blemish to the
paper.
Seems to us this is a dangerous mixture
to be selling. '

The Bank has taken rooms formerly oocu
pied by W. L. Ellis and Bro., Second
Street, by which it secures the use of the
vaults formerly used by the Marine Bank
of Georgia.
The books are still open for subscrip
tion. It is well known that Bank stock
pays more handsomely and assures larger
dividends than any other class of invest:
ments now presented in our city, and
with the personal guarantee of the gentle
men representing this institution, we
•have no doubt that the remaining shares
•will be immediately subscribed.
* The Empire Stone ftuary.
W e paid a visit to this enterprise the
■other day and noticed the work of getting
out the beautiful material that Mr. P. H.
Ward intends to use in his work about the
■Cemetery, and throughout the city. A
blast was discharged while we were
there, and many fine large stones were
thrown out so complete in size and shape
as -not to require the hammer to be used
on them. Mr. Ward hopes to gain the
consent of the City Council to make a
road through the main part of Holly
Bridge, to facilitate operations out there
while at the same time he is ready to do
anything in his line about town. From wbat
we saw of the material we do not hesitate
to say, that should the county magistracy
conclude to commence the jail, here is the
plaee .right at home to get the material',
for the walls and tovnake a building which
will vie with the Court House in symme
try and bHsty.
One Year Old To-day.
(Vol. 11, No. 1.)
Just one year old to day, and in the best
health it ever enjoyed. Yes ; twelve long
months have hovered over us like so many
clouds, sometimes threatening, and some
times sunny. They have melted away into
the past leaving only their memory. And
what a past! What a sight of trouble our
little pet lias given us. Screaming with
delight when its littlo white dress was
spangled with paying “ads,’ and squalling
w hen growling subscribers said “stop your
visits!” That was before it could walk
alone, when each slow, to'ttoring step was
i sde in the dark. Now those feet have
allied strength,its dress is neuter and more
c egautly trimmed with uds, and it walks
1, arlessly up the very same stairs it came
so near failing down ; and yet it is not
proud a bit, for it pays its morning visits
to nearly a thousand dear, dear friends,
and among them are mechanics as well as
aristocrats.
Born amid the cries on every baud of
“it won’t pay,” “it will soon play out,”
etc., and before the sound of the death
knell of another wee thing had fairly died
away; living through the dullest year Ma
con had kuowu for several years, and la
boring under a thousand disadvantages, it
enters upon its second year stronger for
the ordeal it has passed through and
brighter because of its present prospecte.
But a few weeks ago our little pet
changed its parentage, but those who have
assumed the many responsibilities of its
adoption have grown to love it, and their
hearts cu<l not ask for a greater boon
than its successful and prosperous careor.
They have taken it to “bring it up iu the
way it should go," and thus far, have suc
ceeded beyond their most sanguine hopes.
It has become a pet with the public. It
is not the dirty-faced urchiu, but the clean
visaged Enterprise, commanding re
spect from every source. Its toes are not
to be trodden on now with impunity. Its
little fists, thought not as large or brawny
as older people's, are to be feared, for
their blows fall heavy and hurt when
they hit.
But how grateful are wc to kind friends
who have figuratively lent us paregoric ;
and even for those who proffered their
poisonous soothing syrups we have none
but the kindest feelings.
To learn to love a paper is not like
learning to love a woman. A man may
fall in love with a woman at first sight, at
some time when all her best qualities are
displayed, when she looks her best, or iu
common parlance when she has her “best
foot foremost,” and when the knot is tied
find alas that he saw all in the first glance
at the picture. Not so with the paper. In
the right hands it gradually increases in
beauty, gradually displays its best quali
ties, gradually develops itself, aud all this
time your love rises in the the same grad
ual scale as every good feature is revealed.
And at last you find yourself a lover of it
and regret sincerely when a visit is omit
ted. And nothing gives us more satisfac
tion than to have such a large circle of
these lovers, for it is evidence that our ef
forts are appreciated.
And uow, little pet, we give you into the
keeping of the second year of your exist
ence. We are not at all anxious for your
8V .cess—we have too many friends, and
oh, such good ones—to have any misgiv
ings. Bo now git!
Accepted,
Young America Fire Cos. has accepted
the two “jumpers” recently received. They
cannot carry the usual compliment of
hose, but they are durable and light and
as it would cause much delay and expense
to return, them and get others, they have
concluded to keep them.
The Summer House.
Two new house are being erected at the
Cemetery.
One of pagoda shape, circular form with
tin roof, is placed about half way up the
hill, from the Cbrystal Spring, another on
the other hill, Holly Bridge is also very
pretty.
These conveniences are just the things
needed, and we hope the work will not
stop here.
Mr. John L. Jones, the efficient Treas
urer of the Cemetery, intends we hear to
give more of his time to work and super
intendance out there, and we think under
his care things will assume a more cheer-
ing aspect.
[Our reporter certainly forgot that he
was writing about a graveyard when he
spoke of a “ cheering aspect.”— Night

Alabama —legislative Proceed
ings.
Montgomery, April 12.—The Senate
on yesterday passed, with amendments, the
House bill confirming the sale of the Ala
bama and Chattanooga Railroad to the
New Orleans and N. E. Railroad Cos.
The House passed, with amendment, the
Senate bill recalling all indorsed railroad
bonds and authorizing the issue of thirty
year seven per cent, gold interest bearing
straight bonds in lieu thereof, at the rate
of one thousand straight for four thousand
endorsed bends, and providing that in no
event shall the obligations of the State on
this account exceed eight millions.
The amendments to both bills will be
concurred in, much to the relief of the
State, whose liabilities will thus be de
creased from near thirty millions to eight
millions on account of railroads. The lat
ter bill releases the State lien on roads
surrendering endorsed bonds, but leaves
an annual sinking fund tax on their gross
earnings to pay the bonds at maturity.

That Frustrated Arrest.
We were misinformed in regard to tho
woman from Atlanta, mentioned iu yes
terday ‘s paper. It seems as if the (hd'ce
did not have anything to do with t'i<‘
rest aud that it was made by tho tw > ft
cieut constables, Messrs. Mclntyro red
RaTney. On Thursday the constables, in*
compuny with constable Porter of Atlam,,
went to a certain house of ill repute, and
secured the trunks belonging to the wo
man, but tailed to flud the bird. She kept
herself pretty well hid, but a carrriage wus
seen to leave the houso about nine o’clock
that night. Next morning suspicious were
aroused aud on obtaining a clue to the
route taken, Messrs. Mclntyro. ltaincy aud
Porter procured conveyances and set out
poste haste. They /bund her about seven
teen miles from Macon on the Columbus
road, and she was brought to town on Fri
day night. Ycstorday morning in charge
of Constable Porter, she went to Augusta,
aud was to return last night and from here
go right on to Atlanta.
The charges against her are said to be
quite numerous us well as serious. One,
we learn, is fQr kecing a Louse of ill fume,
and another for allowing a seduction to
take place in her houso in Atlanta.
To Messrs. Mclntyre and Bainey is tho
credit due for her arrest. They worked
hard and faithful to secure her arrest.
A stabbing affray occurred inllawkins
ville last Thursday between Jas. E. Laid
ler and James llill. Hill was seriously
stabbed.
