WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 23, 1871.
News Items.
New Bid.—The first sale of new Carolina
rice (twelve and a quarter tiereea) was made in
Charleston last Saturday at 11 cents.
Chicago to he Moved.—Sixteen miles south
of Chicago a better harbor and bettor site for a
city has been found, and a new town is to be
started.
The Lowest Outlaws, in Bobeson county,
were still uncaught by last accounts. Fifty
North Carolina volunteers and fifty United
States infantry were anxiously seeking an in
terview, but unable to obtain it. Bill Lowery is
Three-fingered Jack redevous.
Federal Cotjbt-Hocbe in Columbia.—The
Columbia Phoenix says work is soon to be com
menced on a Federal Court-house in that city,
which will include in one building, the Court
room and all offices for the Federal officials and
a post-offlce.
The South Cabolina Cotton Chop.—The
Courier correspondence reports the cotton crop
of that State inferior to last year, and much
damaged by drouth. The corn crop is about
the same, but more corn was planted. Both
crops in Carolina last year were short.
The Jeeset Bailboads.—Enraged at the loaso
of the United States Canal and Bailroad Com
panies to the Pennsylvania Central, the Jersey
papers are agitating the seizure of those works
by the Stato, by right of “eminent domain.”
Their cost was eighteen and a half millions and
the incomo from them, after paying six por
cent, to the owners, would nett twelve hundred
thousand dollars to the State.
Negbo Ku-klux.—They certainly have very
livoly times in tbo old Palmetto State. In
Union county the house of James H. Gossett,
a very inoffensive man, was surrounded at
night last week by five negroes, who fired re
peated vollios upon it. Fortunately no other
damago than a riddled houso and shattered fur
niture resulted; but isn’t this “lawful Ku-klux
of the United States" a remarkable lively in
stitution ?
The Bbeaks in the Atlantic Cables, which
have been at last repaired, were mainly the re
sult of blundors. When tho first cable gavo
out last summer, tbo tests falsely located tho
break in mid-ooean. The steamer aont to mend
it, grappled tho wrong cable and broke that,
too. When, at length, aftor the lapse of six
months or more of immense labor, the two ends
of tho last cable were found, it was ascertained
that the break in the first one was near the
Newfoundland coast, whore it might have
been repaired in a few hours.
The Charleston Steamers.—A correspond
ent of the Sumter Watchman, on board of the
South Carolina at sea, speaking of that craft,
says a Georgia passenger declared she was equal
to “seventeen pumpkins on one vine,” and in
sisted she ought to bo called “The Georgia.”
But “The Georgia" of the same lino is, we be
lieve, a newer and finer ship than the South
Carolina. However, wo learn that both will
soon bee olipsed by a new and crack ship, now
building for that line, to be called “The City
of Macon,” which will be tho finest coastwise
steamship in North America, combining in tho
highest degree all the modern improvements
and all the requisites for “speed, comfort and
safety.”
The Chinese Labor Experiments.—Scrib
ner's Monthly, reviewing the results of the
China labor experiments on the Atlantic coast,
says this much about Sampson’s experiment
with them in North Adams, Mass, and 150
Ohinamen employed at Belleville, New Jersey,
as substitutes for so many female laundresses:
Briefly stated, tho results of ono year at the
North Adams shoe factory are as follows: Chi
nese shoemakers, learning the trade within the
space of three months, produced goods at the
end of that period at a cost of $2 less per case
than the Trade Union men had done, and at the
end of twelve months this saving in prodaction
had increased to $7 per case. Seventy-five
Chinamen made 120 cases of shoes per week,
while tho same number of Trade Union men
had never produced more than 110 cases in the
same time. The saving in tho cost of produc
tion on a week’s work was, therefore, $840—or
$40,000 per year, making a handsome profit in
a business which had previously, to use the em
ployer’s language, “hardly hold its own.” Thus
much for ono experiment in sboemaking. Turn
ing to the laundry statistics, we find that the
company of one hundred and fifty Ohinamen,
at Belleville, reduced the cost of labor at the
rate of $10 per week for each person employed,
or abont $1,500 per month—making a total sav
ing of $18,000 a year by the change from Irish
women’s work to that of Chinese men.
The Great Storm of Last Friday and Sat-
tbday was exceedingly severe along the entire
Southern Atlantio coast, and it should be noted
was predicted with great aecuraoy by the tele
grams from the Signal Bureau. Hereafter, when
our readers see a similar prediction, let them
get ready for what is coming.
We havo copied reports at length of the
storm in Savannah. From Jacksonville wo have
reports to 5 o’clock on Friday night, when the
barometer was still falling. The wind had been
blowing strongly from the northeast since Tues
day, and by Thursday night was howling furi
ously and doing much damage. At 5:15 Friday
morning the barometer bogan to rise slowly,but
about 9 it fell suddenly, the gale chopped
round to the southeast and blow more furicusiy
than ever. A groat part of the town was flood
ed. Shade trees innumerable and several valu
able buildings were prostrated, and others were
unroofed. The steamers left their wharves to
avoid destruction. On Friday evening the wind
veered to the southwest and tho barometer was
still falling. At that time tho town was cut off
from the outside world by every avenue. The
damage to buildings, goods and shipping was
believed to be very great.
The storm reached Charleston Friday fore
noon from tho southeast, and daring the day
it changed to the northeast and began to blow
cud rain with great violence. The gale, with
slight variations, remained at that point until
midnight on Saturday. Business was stopped,
streets and cellars flooded, and several of the
streets were washed into gullies. Trees were
blown down or snapped off. Forewarned by
the weather reports in the city papers, the
shipping made the best preparations for safety
and the Courier reports no damage.
Who Dbagooned the Louisiana Badical
Contention.—Sinoe some of the anti-Grant
Badical papers have been making a bit of a fuss
over Grant’s Bayonet Convention in New Or.
eans. Great efforts are being made to hide the
negro under the woodpile. But a dispatch from
Gen. Herron to the New York Tribune says:
On the evening of the 7th inst, Marshal
Packard stated to Gen. Campbell, Judge Dibble
and Mr. Fish of the Bepublican, that he had
the highest authority in the land for using the
Custom-house and troops, and has since stated
that Gen. Grant authorized it.
The same Packard is on North now to show
that the troops were used without Grant’s au
thority.
Cassius M. Clay is out heavily for philoso
pher Greeley for President, and here is one of
his reasons:
“The South” contains more than a third of
onr population. Aside from Alaska, she owns
the larger portion of the lands of the Bepublio;
she has the better climate and soil, and the
world-wide used products—ootton, sugar, rice,
and tobacco; she has as fine a raoe of men as
exists. I appeal to the calm judgment of all
Americans, can we afford to make an Ireland, a
Polacd, or a Hungary of these people ? A South
ern man, standing by the blacks, as I have done
all my life, I say, for their sakes as well as my
own, give us a candidate of onr party, like Hor
ace Greeley, who comes to us with the olive
branch, rather than him who, refusing amnesty,
bares the sword for the eternal subjection of a
Saxon people.
Gen. Gbant in Illinois.—The Chicago Ee-
publican (Badical) says that “ it is reported, on
very good authority, that General Grant has
written to ex-Governor Oglesby requesting him
to run for Congressman-at-Large, and promis
ing him, in the event of his doing so, the con
trol of the Federal patronage throughout the
State. Trumbull and Logan have no inflnenoe
with the present administration, and Grant
wants a friend from the great State of Hlinois.”
Benomination of Gbant.—The World pitches
heavily into the Tribune in the matter of its
opposition to Grant’s renomination. That op
position is so timid and founded on such ill-
considered grounds, that it is a tacit confession
of hopelessness. Mr. Greeley opposes the re-
nomination ostensibly upon the one term prin
ciple. But the one-term principle takes all its
force from a prospective operation. It aims,
in advance, to prevent a President from prosti
tuting his high office by intrigues for re-elec
tion ; but all of Grant’s term has been one long
intrigue for renomination. The evil for which
tho one-term is a remedy, has been done; and
the Tribune’s opposition to Grant must there
fore be grounded on personal disqualifications,
which'that paper is too timid to charge. The
opposition to Grant amounts to nothing. His
nomination is secured by the votes of States
controlled by his own appointees. The World
predicts that Grant will bo renominaied l>y ac
clamation, without a vote.
Cotton Figures.
Tho visible supply of cotton roported by the
New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle
last Friday night, was 1,786,425 bales, against
1,484,027 at tho samo date last year—showing
an increase of 302,398 bales. The increase re
ported the previous.week, was 355,700 bales.
The New York marketduring tho week badbeen
fairly active for the season, with a gradual de
cline up to Thursday night, when an enlarged
business in Liverpool and unfavorable reports
from tho growing crop in (ho South produced a
firmer feeling and improvement in quotations
of ono-cighth on ordinary and n quarter on low
middling. The sales of f utures during the week
amounted to 72,050 bales, at prices, ranging
from 17| to 18c. for January. Tho total sales
for immediate delivery were 14,684 bales.
The weather reports from the South were, on
the whole, favorable. From Texas there was
news of rains, but great damage had been suf
fered from long previous drouth. Many coun
ties, it was said, would not make half a crop.
In Louisiana, the weather was still sultry and
showery. The Chronicle attached no import
ance to the caterpillar reports from that State.
Mobile, Montgomery and Selma reported much
needed showers. At Macon it had rained two
days (referring to the showers of the 9th and
10th, since when it has been as dry as lime).
The mean temperature reports wore as follows:
Galveston 84, Memphis 82, Mobile and Macou
83, Columbus 85, Charleston 80. We copy the
following from the Chronicle:
Estimates of the Cotton Obcp —We notice
that some of onr friends both here and in
Europe are quoting ns as authority for certain es
timates of the yield of the growing cotton crop.
This is an error, as we have at no time during
the season given an opinion as to the probable
total result. All we said was that up to the
early part of June there had been fifteen per
rent Ions this year as compared with last^year;
that is the crop this year must necessarily be
fifteen per cent less (how much smaller events
subsequent to that date must determine) than
the previous one.
Since then we have had fine weather, until
recently, in Texas and also in tho Tennessee dis
trict, wliioh district includes over one-fifth of the
crop, that is the whole of Tennessee, the north
ern part of Alabama and Mississippi and East
ern Arkansas, &■>., and very rainy, unfavorable
weather dnring June over most of the balance
of the cotton field, followed by good growing
weather in July and August almost everywhere
except in lower portions of Lonisana, Alabama,
Mississippi and Georgia, in which latter dis
trict the weather has been •variable all the time,
though, of course, fin improvement upon June.
Now to estimate in figures the results of these
different conditions of the weather in these va
rious sections of the South, while the plant is in
its present condition of rapid change, would be
claiming a degree of foresight which we do not
possess. And yet it strikes ns that every reader,
at least everyone who has ever seen a cotton
plnnt grow, most bo satisfied that the aggregate
result of the surroundings of the crop since
June 1, must be a farther loss as compared
with last year, though, of course, a very much
smaller loss than was feared before the favora
ble July weather began.
The statement of our Macon correspondent,
in a letter dated August 12, expressed only what
we should expect to hear when he says that
"the plant is small and without that vigor of
growth and promise of fruitfulness which it
had last year.” We are led to make these re
marks in view of what seems to us exaggerated
estimates of the crop which are now frequently
heard, and which it appears to us cannot be re
alized.
Eight Hundred From One.—The Wilmington
(N. O.) Journal thinks North Carolina soil will
beat the world in potato-growing, and tells the
following story of how a Mr. Sailing, of Mason-
boro, North Carolina, grew 800 potatoes from
one potato. The Journal says:
'The original potato was bedded last March
15th. On the 20th of April it had twelve sprouts
which were clipped and set out the same day,
making twenty-two hills of sprouts. On July
5th, twelve vines were cut from the first twelve
sprouts; and on the 28th of July, from tjie last
ten sprouts. These vines were divided up and
set out in bills, which, in all, amounted to two
hundred. They all matured well, yielding four
large potatoes to the hill, besides a half bushel
of slips for bedding the next year, and a quan
tity for hog feed. Who can beat this ?”
Litpincott’s Magazine for September came
yesterday. It opeDS with chapters one and two
of a series of sketches under tho head of
Scrambles Among the Alps. No. six of that
excellent series “ Wild Ireland,” is given, and
part second of “Not Pretty, but Precious.
Among the other papers are the City of Monu
ments ; At Sea in a Sail-boat; Insect Locomo
tion and Shall we Throw Fhystc to the Dogs ?
The Comptroller General’s Bepobt.—We
have a pamphlet copy of the Comptroller. Gen
eral's report submitted to the Governor,'
April 1, 1871, of receipts and disbursements for
the year ending 31st December, 1870, showing
receipts $1,164,303.79-payments $1,444,876.73.
It is a pamphlet of 143 pages, which we will ex
amine at leisure.
Ethiopean Hymnoloot.—A New Orleans cor
respondent of the San Francisco Bulletin says a
favorite hymn in the negro churches in the
Cresent City, begins with this line :
‘Tm gwine to Heaven in a ham basket.”
That is suggestive of provisions on the road
any way.
“Bubbish in Bomances.”—An exchange so
heads its review of the current issue of novels
frim the American press. Quite right. Never
was such an amount of weary trash poured out
on an unresisting and inoffensive world as is
now disgorged from the press in the shape of
so-called “light literature.”
Blessed Bain.—A boisterous wind was blow
ing all day yesterday from the east and lifting
clouds of choking dust from the dry streets.
About four o’clock, however, a smack sprinkle
came down—just enough to settle the dust and
it was a vast improvement.
Withdrawal of McCook.—The withdrawal
of MoCook from the Democratic candidaoy for
Governor of Ohio is due to the failure of his
health.
Nlgniflcant.
The telegraph informs ns that Leslie's ma
jority for Governor of Kentucky is about 36,-
000, while the candidates for the other State
offices, who ran on the same ticket with him,
have 39,000 majority. The telegraph don’t give
any reason for this difference; nor do we pro
pose to famish one. We merely call attention
to the fact that Leslie, who seems to be a weak
brother at best, went abont during the canvass
butting his head against the stone fence of ac
complished facts and swearing that no matter
what the National Democracy might do, he—the
great and good Leslie—would never, no, never
cease to butt his head against the stone fence
as aforesaid; while his associates on the ticket,
like sensible men, discussed live issues and
promised to abide by the decision of their
brethren in national convention assembled.
This is all we have to say on the subject, ex
cept to ask our red hot cotemporaries if they are
going to back General Toombs when he starts
to the polls next year with a Grant ticket in his
hand, instead of that of the National Democra
cy? Gentlemen: Time is called! Can’t you
come out of your corners ?
The Senatorial Election.
We find the following card in the Monroe Ad
vertiser, of Tuesday:
Fobstth, August 21, 1871.—Editor Adverti
ser : My name has several times been an
nounced in connection with the vacant Seca-
torship of this District, and kind allusions made
by some of my friends of the press in refer
ence to my nomination. Thus far, to avoid
any parade of myself in the papers, I have re
mained silent, deeming it even donbtful wheth
er the Governor would order the election.
Since, however, tho proclamation has been
issued, and the Ordinaries directed to advertise
the election for the 13th of September, I find
myself again alluded to in terms of kindness
by the Telegraph and Messenger.
Longer silence may bo construed into a desire
for the position, and it is due myself to say,
apart from my own disinclination, that I have
the honor, as I understand it, of being ineligible
under the Fourteenth amendment to the Con
stitution of the United States.
Feeling assured that tho eligibility of tho
candidate should be unquestioned, the party,
in my judgment, should nominate some good
and true Democrat, whose voice and inflnenoe
can be felt in behalf of a pure administration
of Government. Very respectfully,
A. D. Hammond.
While we deeply regret that Col. Hammond
labors under political disabilities, wo cannot too
highly commend his course in refusing to be
come a candidate under the circumstances. Tho
nominee should be dearly and unquestionably el-
gible to the position so that there cannot be the
slightest objection made, or obstacle raised to
his taking his seat. We hope this condition
precedent will be insisted upon by the conven
tion.
The Advertiser suggests Forsyth as the place,
and Wennesday, the 30th inst, as the time for
holding the convention, which suggestion we
endorse. If this is agreed upon, would it not
be well for our friends in this county to hold a
meeting next Saturday, the 26th, to appoint
delegates to that convention?
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
The Savannah News of -Monday has the fol
lowing details of damages resulting from the
storm of last Friday and Saturday:
Martin’s Industry Light Ship Adrift and
Gone from Her Moorings.—The steamship
Liberty, on her arrival, reported the Martin’s
Industry Light Ship not in sight yeasterday, as
she approached our bar. On the airival of the
Livingston at 9 p.m., her captain reports that
at 2 p. m. he passed the buoys and all other sig
nals, but did not see the Light Ship, although he
examined tho whole portion of the bar and vicin
ity for it. The supposition is that the ship was
cast loose from her moorings and gone adrift
There are abont ten or twelve men aboard the
Light Ship, and she is commanded by Captain
Masson, an able and experienced seaman.
The Savannah, Seaboard and Skidaway
Bailroad.—The damage done on the Savannah,
Seaboard and Skidaway Railroad by the recent
storm will be sufficiently repaired for the trains
to pass over to-day. They will leave on sched
ule time. The damage was very serious, seve
ral washes occurring between the city and Sand
Fly Station, and the switch at Sand Fly Station
being also washed out. By unremitting labor,
and the greatest effort, the road is now in run
ning order again.
The Atlantic and Gulf Bailroad.—Several
washes occurred on the Atlantic and Gulf Boad
daring the storm of Friday and Saturday. A
very slight one, abont five miles from the city,
was soon repaired, and trains passed over others
between stations 6 and 8, in the vicinity of the
Satilia river. Trains leaving tho city go no fur
ther westward than Jessup. It is supposed,
however, that the washes will be sufficiently
repaired to allow trains to pass over safely by
to-night.
Serious Damaoe to the Bice Crop.—The
whole back oountry. from Screven’s Ferry to
Bellinger’s Hill, is flooded, and the rice crop
badly damaged. Serious injury was sustained
by the very Ralt atmosphere on Friday, which
almost totally destroyed the young rice. Since
then the storm has increased the damage, and
planters who expected their crops to sverago
from forty to fifty bushels to the acre do not
now expect to realize fifteen.
The famiture of tho Screven House, at Sa
vannah, is advertised to bo sold, and the house,
itself, is offered for lease or rent, by the own
ers, the Messrs. John & T. F. Screven.
As a proof of the severity of the late storm
at Savannah, the News says large pine trees
two feet or more in diameter, were twisted from
their roots like switches.
Fry, the vamosing State Boad developer of
Atlanta, sends word that he will shortly return
to that city. But he doesn’t add that he will
bring the “swag” back with him.
Th6 bond of the Tax Collector of Fulton
county, has been fixed at $60,000.
Tho Atlanta papers say that the investigation
of the Stato Boad frauds will be resumed in a
few days.
The Atlanta Sun Bays Bullock has telegraphed
from New York, ordering all the State Boad
books and vouchers to be turned over to the
Board of Commissioners appointed by the last
Legislature to investigate and audit claims
against the road. The board consists of Ben
jamin Conley, Badical State Senator; Dawson A.
Walker, of Dalton, Badical; and.Maj. Geo. Hill-
yer, of Atlanta, Democratic Senator elect from
that district.
Dr. It, of Atlanta, called Dr. P., of same
place, a liar, last Monday, on Peachtree street,
Thereupon Dr. P.—with his fist—persuaded
Dr. L. to lie down.
A fire at Atlanta, yesterday morning, burned
the houses of Messrs. W. J. Mallard and T. A
Chastain, on Calhoun street. Less on both
abont $6,000.
Mrs. Newton Beid committed suicide near
Carrolton, last week, by jumping into a welL
The Griffin Middle Georgian, of yesterday,
says:
On Saturday evening just before sundown, a
street duel took place in our town near Mc
Kee’s harness shop, on Hill street, between Dr.
Geo. B. Beecher, and Mr. Wm. M. Johnson.
Several shots were exchanged, but fortunately,
and almost miracuously, no one was hurt. We
have sinoe learned that the cause of the difficulty
has been amicably settled, and the parties are
again on friendly terms. We are glad to h6ar
it, as they are both gentlemen for whom we
entertain great respect.
A fire in Griffin Saturday night burned a house
belonging to Captain Low, formerly used as a
negro hotel, and greatly endangered the adjoin
ing residences of Messrs. J. EL Logan, Shack
leford, and Mrs. Thompson.
Of crop prospeots in that section, the Griffin
Star of yesterday says:
Crops.—Th’s month, thus far, his proved
most propitious for cotton growth. The un
promising fields that got cleaned out in July
have grown wonderfully, and taken on fruit be
yond expectation, in the last three weeks.
Farmers in this section have had a pretty good
time to save their upland fodder. Late planted
bottoms have come out wonderfully this mouth,
but all crops in this section are now needing
rain more or less, thongh perhaps too much
rain would be more injurious than none at all.
The heavy dews at this Beason of the year are
a great help to all growing crops. Cotton is
beginning to open, and most of our thrifty
farmers are ready and anxious to get it out.
We clip the following from the Monroe Ad
vertiser, of Tuesday:
Deplorable Accident.—While on the way to
Tabernacle Church, yesterday morning, Airs.
Cynthia Hill, of Cox’s district, was thrown from
her buggy and dragged some distance, before
the horse could be stopped. Her shoulder was
broken, and other severe injuries sustained.
The horse was frightened by the shaft coming
loose and falling against his heels. Late last
evening the lady was suffering intensely.
“Let Us Have Peace.”
We find the following exceedingly sensible
and timely words in the West Point Shield of
Friday last:
There has been more dissension and wrang
ling we believe about the “New Departure” (so
called) in Georgia than any other of the South
ern States, but we are glad to note that the most
influential papers in the State such as the Atlan
ta Constitution, Maoon Telegraph, Augusta
Constitutionalist, Chronicle and Sentinel, Sa
vannah Bepublican and Columbus Enquirer re
commend that tho true course to be pursued by
those who wish to whip the Badicals in the next
election, is to eschew wranglings and bitter dis
sensions, and unite as one man with the Demo
cratic party of the North, upon whatever plat
form they may be pleased to put forth. This
is sensible, and it seems to ns the only oourse
the true patriot could pursue, who wishes to see
his country dissentbralled and freed from the
jailing bondage of Ku-klux bills, enforcement
aws, etc. To the Northern Democracy we look
for redemption, and it illy becomes us to dictate
to them upon what ground they shall enter the
fight in 1872. So far as we are individually con
cerned, we are perfectly willing to leave the
planning of tho campaign into the hands of
such men, as Pendleton, Yorhees, Hendricks
Thurman,Black and the Brooks satisfied that they
will commit us to no policy inconsistent with
sound principle, or detrimental to our honor.
These men have been life long friends of our
peoplo as well as constitutional liberty and we
are willing to trust them.
We do hope that the small faction in Georgia
who are trying to get up a “rousoment” upon
the “new departure” will close their babblings,
and that we may present a solid front against
Radicalism. In tho name of all that is worth
contending for, “Let us have Peace.”
Tho Shield speaks the sentiments of an im
mense majority of tho honest, unselfish, sensi
ble Democrats of Georgia and every other
Southern Stato. The magio of a great name,
and tho noise and bluster of a few perspiring
individuals who seem to think it necessary that
they should prematurely tear their shirts, may
confuse the people for a brief while, but they’ll
see their way, and proclaim it too, at the proper
time. When the voice of the Democrats of
Georgia is heard officially, these individuals will
be struck “spaaohless” to find thatall their bel
lowing and cavorting has made so little im
pression.
In the meantime we want to know how many
of them are willing to follow Gen. Toombs to
tho polls and vote for Grant against any
Northern Democrat, on a “new departure”
platform ? We hope they will not all answer at
once, for really they speak so long and so loud,
generally, that our tympanum might not be able
to stand it.
What is the difference between a Democrat
of tho “new departure” and a Badical? Both
indorse the war amendments to the Federal
Constitution. We see no difference.— Victoria
(Texas) Advocate.
The difference is between the natural deprav
ity that would bum a house down, and the com
mon senso which would be content to bnild a
less comfortable one rather than stay out of
doors for free discussion of the origin of the fire

A Grave Charge.
New Youk, August 19.—It is reported that
affidavits hava been made charging Stephen
Pearl Andrews, now editor of Woodhull and
Claffln’s Weekly, with violating a young lady,
niece of Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull, and it is
charged that Miss Tennie O. Olaffln aided and
abetted him in the crime. The lawyer of com
plainant says the affidavits will be published in
a day or two; that they will show a fearful
state of society here, and that the revelations
will shake the city to its centre.
Although there are yet men in arms against
the royal authority in Cuba, the Spanish gov
ernment bos decreed an act of universal amnes

his wounds dressed, but afterwards he was taken
out and hung. He confessed his orime.

Application for Leave to Sell Real Estate.
Pi EOBGIA, BIBB COUNTY.—Notice is hereby
VX given to all parties having interest, that I
