A SI ands.amr. Bible.
Wo were jcrt.erd.iy shown a handsome
copy of the Bible, embracing a more
„ exten ivo fund of information than any
other copy we hare ever examined. It is
profusely illustrated, many of the fine
steel engravings being by Dore, the great
artist. The Bible portion proper is prin
ted from large, clear type. Tbe volume
contains an Immense amount of informs-
tion, and is bound in elegant style. Tho
city is now being esnvsssod by Cilonel
A. M. Jones, of Jacksonville. He will
soon visit Southwest Georgia.
Htrcot Work.
Tbe atreet work rcoently done on Mul
berry and Washington a venae, has been
of inoalcnlabla benefit to tbe city in im
proving those impvrtant thoroughfares
of trade and travel from tho oonntry.
The work on both baa been done In tho
best manner possible, and will stand for
a long while. Maiberry street presents
a besntifnt appearance on tbe side wblob
has been worked, and tbe improvement
is great.
Captain Simpson is now payiDg atten
tion to Seoond street, bejond Mulberry,
and will by the Fair have it in tbe eamo
condition as the rsst of tbe strode, ma
king a splendid drive from Walnnt street
beyond tbe South Macon sohool building.
A Queer Belle.
At tbe Library there is an old pistol,
deposited by Mrs. Hutton. It was tho
property of Hr*. Tabltha E. Monroe,
wi foot N. C. Mao roe, Eiq., who was for
a long time a resident of this city. U is
a massive one-barreled affair, of abont
fifteen inches, mounted with silver. Tbo
barrel is of solid brass, and bears tbe
imprint, London. The look is of tho
flint and steel pattern, and the stock of
black walnnt. The barrel bears on ita
top tbo following legend: "Presented to
Mrs. Tabltha E. Monroe, by Edward P.
Almy, of MstanssH, Island of Onba, in
commemoration of hor snocessfolly re
sisting an attack of highwaymen, Feb
ruary 221, 1831."
The oironuietanoee were of a romanti 0
and interesting oharsoter. The gontlc-
man who presented the weapon was tu
tor of the lady. On one oooasion they
were riding to a plantation in the neigh
borhood of Malansaa, over a road along
which attaoks from highwaymen wore
freqnont. They were attacked and her
companion pleood in a position in which
he oould offer no resistance, whoa she,
taking tho pistol from the bolsters of her
saddle, cnoooeded io driving tbe high
waymen off. It is not known whether
any of them vreie shot or not. The old
pistol has attracted a good deal of atten
tion from visitors of the Library,
the Luue star.
It will bo remembered by many of onr
old ottisena that the first Lone Star ban
ner for those who went ont to do battle
for Texas, was made by Misa Johanna
fi. Troutman, at the town of Knoxville,in
Grawfoid county, and presented to
Ward’s battalion of Georgia, who onlist-
od for the war In Texas. The battalion
whs organized In Maoon. Tho presenta
tion was mado in Colnmbos. The lady
was at tho lime, one ot tbe belles oC the
State. At that time eho had many rela
tives in Macon, so mo of whom still re
side here. The nowB ot her death in
‘1'oxaB has just reaohod Georgia, and will
bo reooived with regrot by a very large
circle of friends. The following from a
Texas paper will be read with interest:
Tho Dallas (l'lizaa) Herald says a letter
has j ust been received in Fort Worth by a
gem.oaiau from a friend in Georgia, which
says: "Sol Pope’s mother, John irommau’a
timer, ano W. u. Yonson's wifo, died in
Crawlord last Wednesday." It was she who
gave Texas the "lono star." bho made a
ilag with a loco star on it, and presented it to
Colonel Ward's command in November,
lbfifi. It was first uufnrled at Velasco,
January 8, 1836, and afterward taken with
oolonei Fannin's regiment to Goliad, where
it remained ucti' Texae declarer herself a
free and independent Statu, and taken down
from the liberty pole it became enMLgloJ
and torn to pieces, Suo Was then dies J.
K. Troutman It was mado of plain silk,
bearing an aznre star of five po nts on cither
side. On one was tho inscription in rich but
chaste colors "Liberty or Death,” and on
the other the Latin motto, ‘Tibi lioertas
habitat ibi noetr. datria oat," bo you o<n
boast among your Texas fliania that a
Georgia girl named Texas.
Brevities.
An indication ot the improved fisancir!
condition of Macrn and her business com-
mneity is tho promptness with which the
paper failing duo in tho early part of Oct
ober was met, bat a few notes and acoep-
tanc a going to protest. This is du <
largely to tbo fine trade the city has had
and is still enjoying this fall.
All of tho oc-rn stalks in tho area with
in the mild track will eoon be re
moved to give an unobstructed view of
the races.
The trestle work of the Central rail
road on the mam or passenger line, near
the Ocmulgee river, has recently teen
strengthened.
The reunion of General Cook’s Brigade
dating the State Fair is all tbe talk with
the Vt torans of that oommand, of whom
there is a goodly number in and aronnd
Maoon.
The Park is the lpvliest place in Geor
gia for tbe State Fair, and the grounds
alone are a decided attraction.
It is hoped the matter will be so ar-
ranged that the street cars .. n be ran to
the Park during the fair. The present
proprietor might, daring the time, earn
an kinonnt that would go far toward sat
isfying the outstanding jndgment again-t
tbe road.
The chain gang at the Park is doing
efficient work under the direction of Mr,
Willis Wood, the Superintendent.

There is no more certain index of the
progress of Southwest Georgia in agricul
ture, manufacture, and the arts, than her
fair*. Each year these retaring festivals
give evidence of the material progress
of her people. Tbair recurrence also
demonstrate* that a spirit of enterprise is
not lacking and their constant improve
ment, both in the extent and quality of
the exhibitions, ere sure indicia of ad-
vance in the proper direction. Ho fairs
in the circuit cf Sooth western Georgia are
more generally enjoyed or better attended
than thoae at Americas. The third an
nual fair of the Americas Fair Associa
tion opens on the 21st of this month and
continues four days. Tho people of
Americas have concentrated all their
effort*, and the approaching fair will bo
made the best that hay ever been given
them. Tbe grounds are pleasantly lo
cated ?n a grove of natural forest growth,
a convenient distance from the city, and
are tarnished with a main building or
exhibition ball, a spaoions dining hall, an
agricultural and mechanical exhibit hall
handsome cottages for ladies, a band pa-
villion, besides a hippodrome for stock
exhibits and a large number of sheds for
tbe. accommodation of tbe stock which
will be In attendance on the fair.
The programme arranged presents a
nnmbetof attractions, among whioh may
be mentioned the trials of speed on one
of the beat half-mile tracks in the State.
The exhibits ere always foil in all the
departments. The well known hospital
ity of the people of Americas is a guar
anty to all visitors that they will have an
enjoyable time while visiting the Fair.
The city and the Association extend a
cordial invitation to all to come and have
a pleasant time at the Fair.
The pieminm list, which has just been
laid on onr tablo, is the most comprehen
sive and liberal ever gotten ont by tho
Association. Not an article Is omitted
which goes toward making up a first-class
exhibition, and the premiums offered aro
sufficiently large to bring ont lively com
petition. For parses nearly a thousand
dollars havo been appropriated, some of
them being large enongh to indHce own
ers of horses of fine record to be present.
Wo learn that some of the stock which
will be at tbo State- Fair will go down
and give a test of their spaed at Ameri
cas. Wo wish the good people of Ameri
cas and their Fair an abundant measure
of success.
The .Growth of Cotton.
Somo interesting observations have
been made this season by soveral gentle
men of.lhis city on some cotton plants in
the yard in the rear of the office of
Messrs. Cobb & Clancy,on Second street.
On a bank of earth early in the season
some ootton seed were planted. Tho long
dry spell came on and they made bnt
small progress. On tho 13th of July, ob
servations was taken of tho plants and
two of them marked by driving down a
stake by each. They were than abonl
twelvo inches in hight and presented a
wilted and lifeless appoaranoe. It rained
on the 13tb, but no change or vitality wan
shown for six days,aftcr which tho plants
began to grow. A few forms which bad
boon noticed boforo tho rain dropped off.
On the 23rd of July, the first new foim
appeared, and they were followed by tho
first bloom on the 9th of August.
On tho 13th of September the first fall
grown boll was to bo seen, and on the
Gth of Ootober tho first boll opened, it
being just seventy-five days from tho
appearance of tho first flower and tbe
bnrstiog of the first bolL Tho plants aro
now abont three fedt in height, well-
frnlted and vigorous. They aro of the
common variety of ootton and were en-
riohod with Whanc’s fertilizer. A largo
proportion of the bolls are matnred and
ready for opening. It ia asserted that
inaoh of this section is about as back
ward as tbo plants mentioned above, and
some of the farmers announced when
they brought in their first bags
that their crops were only jnst now be
ginning to open well. A mild Ootober
will largely inoreaso the yield of the sta
ple in this vioinity. The observation
will bo read with interest by onr farmer
friends.
Library Nates.
Tho regnlar monthly meeting of tfco
Board of Directors was held on Monday
evening, the Gth instant.
Six applicants for membership in tho
Library were duly elected. Their names
were as follows: Henry C. Brown, Miss
Roan Friedlauder, N. M. Solotnon,
Walker McCall, Jnlian Rogers and Walter
T. J jlmeton. The total membership of
tho Library at present ia abont 418.
. A vote of thanks was passed in ac
knowledgment of the following dona
tions :
Dr. J. P. Stevens, one volume; Eddie
Burke, Stone Hatchet; Georgia Histori
cal Society, “Antiquities of Southern In
diana;” Mrs. Hatton, Cuban pistol; Wm.
O’Neil, “TexasIllustrated.”
Donations of books, cariosities or ob
jects of any description, which will add t o
the attractiveness of the Library, are so
licited by the Board, and will, in every
instance, be duly acknowledged.
The Librarian’s monthlyr eport showed
a circulation of 1,240 volumes daring tbo
month of September.
A communication from Mr. W. B. Voi
der was read, in whioh he stated that
owing to removal from tho city ho was
compelled to tender bis resignation as a
member of the Board. Mr. Yolger has
been prominently identified with the Li
brary since the day of its organization;
and his efforts have contributed in no
small measnre to Us growth and present
prosperity. It was with unaffected re
luctance that his resignation was accep
ted. The matter of filling tbe vacanoy
thus created in the Board was postponed
to a future meeting.
The all-important and ever-recurring
question of how to replenisb.the treasury
of the Library was considered at some
length. With the present membership
the annual does are barely saffioient to
meet the current expenses, leaving no
sarplna for the purchase of new books
or paying subscriptions for papers ana
periodicals. After considerable deliber
ation the matter was referred to a com
mittee, who were directed to report to a
oslled meeting one or more plans for
raising tbe money needed; and it is
earnestly hoped that tbe people of Ma
con will heartily oo-operate with the
Board in whatever plan may be adopted
C***ir LMrr,

Mrs. Gea. 8 G. French s»ye: "My dear
little boy Robert was at death’s door with
Cholera Infantum. And I never forget the
gratitude I owe Dr. Moffett for string bis
life with his Dr. Moffett’s Teeihina (Teeth
ing Powders).'
The mate Pair.
From all quarters we hear encouraging
things of the 8tate Fair. The entire
southern portion of the State is aroused
n its behalf, nor is interest lacking in
Middle and upper Georgia. It ia confi
Gently expected that the attendance will
be greater than it has been since the first
great fair in the Laboratory building.
The feeling through the country is morn
favorable than it ever has been toward a
State Fair, and the inquiries are numer
ous and all the indie* tions are for a gen
eral anocese. The premium for the best
county display will be warmly contested.
Tbe racing stock oontinnee to arrive
and by tbe time tbe exhibition opens, the
largest collection ever at a State fair will
bo on tho grounds. A very attractive
feature will be the 13th Infantry band—
the finest now in the South. Other at
tractions trill be announced in a few
days.
The exchanges of the State ore making
favorable mention of the approaching
State Fair. It will undoubtedly be tho
best that has been given in many years.
The Atlanta Post makes the following
mention in its colamns of the approach
ing exposition:
This exposition of Georgia’s products
and industries commences in Macon cn
October 27th and continues through No-
vember 1st. It promises to be the grand
eat affair of the kind ever held in Iho
State. Immediately sneoeeding the fair
in Atlanta, it will draw many attraction;!
from that splendid exhibition. We hear
that the whole of tbe Talbot fair whioh
bIbo precedes, and is to be of marked ex
cellence,will be transferred to Maoon that
the county may compete for the leading
prize. E'ght thousand dollars in mone.'
premiums are offered besides medals of
gold and silver and diplomas. The celebra-
ted,13th infantry band will famish music
The racing will be of a superior charac
ter. The purses are large and will bring
the best horses of the State as well an
these of other sections. The programme
embraces much that will interest all
classes of people, and will illustrate what
the empire State ia doing in the way of
agnonltnre, mechanics, arts and manu
facture.
Almost in Accident.
A crowd of boys, white and black, are
in the daily habit of congregating abont
tho freight depots, jamping on the mov
ing cars and playing around them gen
erally, greatly to the endangerment of
life and limb.
Yesterday two pioaaninnies fell nndor
a shifting car, and wonderful to say es
caped without serious in j ary—only one
of them being slightly braised—tbe en
gineer stopping the train and permitting
them ro crawl from under.
The railroad authorities are too busily
engaged to give attention to theBs pests
bnt some end should be made to this
habit of playing abont the oars. A few
arresia by the polioo might remedy mat
tere.
Renting or Privileges at the Park
The State Fair privileges at tho Park
have been rented at tho following prioes
Tho bar room privileges were bnooked
down to Z. B. Wheeler, for $1,335. The
cigar stand was bid in at $235 by Fat
Crown. R. Waggonstein obtained the
dining room privilege at $1C0. Tho
frait and confeolionery right wa:i secured
for $147.50, by Felix Oorpnt.
These figures aro all considered high
prices, with tho exoeption of the dining
room privilege, whioh is deemed very
low. Mr. E. C. Grier auctioneered off
tbe privileges.
Slnlchas Torali Bop.
Terpsiohoro held high carnival last
night at the bop given under the ans-
pices of tho Hebrow Yonng Men’s Lite
rary Association, at their hall. Tho
forms of fair women and coartly men
attired in elegant toilets, and whirling
in the waltz or gliding in the mazes o l
the lancers, produced a brilliancy of aeon* 1
not soon to bo forgotten. The snppor
was a feast of the richest viands.
Altogether, the evening was a most
pleasant one, and when the iron tongno
of midnight tolled twelvo the festivities
were jnst at their zenith, and the trip-
pling of feet only silenced with the near
advance of day.
Grand Opening of Boots nn«l
Shoes To-day at ltae Store cl
Jolin Valentino, Mo. 91 Cherry
Street.
To my friends and the public generally I
extend a cordial weiccmel
Haying jnst retained from tho Eastern
market with a first class stock of goods, I
am now prepared to furnish boots and shoos
as low as any Lease North or Soath. SI;
s.ock is completo In evory lino, and in o'dor
to oonvince yourself that the stock is first-
class and tho prices low, call and examine,
and you will bo conrineod that I cannot nor
I will not be undersold by anyune.
I wish especially to call the attention of the
ladies to tho fact that I shall always keep on
hand tho very finest and most improved
styles of shots and slippers for bad and
patty wear, and would be pleased to bays
them examine my stock.
I shall run, in connection with my ready
made boot and shoe business, a manuf actor
ing department, and I would especially call
.. onr attention to this ranch of my bneinees.
Having secured the services of sir. H. Me-
Kervey to take charge of that department,
tnat of itself is a sufficient guarantee that
all orders in that line will be executed
promptly and in the ve.j best, latest and
moat unproved style. I can veiy safely defy
competition in this line, and would be pleased
to receive your orders.
No more run-dowa or crank-aided boots or
shoes, as I am sols agent for Bibb county
for Massey’s Patent Gn.ta Perch* Revolving
Heels, the greatest invention of the age,
and one that is bonnd to give satisfaction
whenever tried. They coat no more than
die price for removing an old heel, and o n
be attached to any boot or shoe. They keep
the foot erect, giro elasticity to th9 step, do
not irjnre carpets or oil cloths. In fact it is
a first-class invention. Having once worn
Masaey’s Patent Heel yon will never be with
out them.
When yon are in need of boots or shoes
don’t fail to give mo a call.

A GOOD PLAN
Anybody can learn to make money raptdly oper
ating in Stocks by the ‘Two Unerring Ruiea for
Success,” in Messrs l-awrenc* ft Co’s new Circu-
ar. The combination method, which this firm
has made so success!ul. enables people with
large or imall means to reap all the benefits of
largest capital and best skill. Thousands ofor-
ders, in various sums, are rooled into one vast
amount and co-operated as a mighty wnole, thus
seeming to each shareholder all the advantages
of the largest operator. Immense profits are
divided monthly. Any amount, from 15 toS-VXiO
or more, can be used successfully. New York
Baptist Weekly, September 28,1878, says : "By
the combination system $15 would make $75. or
.5 i--r cut s r /) pays $$50, or 7 percent: $100
makes $1,000. or 10 per cent on the stock during
the month, according to the market.” Frank
Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper, June 29th; “The
combination method of operating stocks is the
most successful ever adopted.” New York In
dependent, Sept, 12th: "The ctrobination sys
tem is founded upon correct business priori pies,
and no person need be without an income while
it is kept working by Messrs Lawrence & Co.”
Brooklyn Journal, April 29th: “Our editor made
a net profit of $101 25 from $9) in one of Messrs
Lawrence ft Co’s combinations ” New circular
(mailed free) eiplains everything. Stocks and
bonds wanted. Gover* nent bonds supplied.
