Tlx- Walnut Creek Bridfc.
TV Walnut Creek bridge seems to glee
the Board of County Commbeionet* oon-
iMmtk trouble. A few days since a Urge
portion of the earth on the upper side of the
pier M tbr east hank ofthe creek, from no
^ymtnt canse cared In. It b supposed
that tV giving way of the earth was oc-
cashmed by its settling around the base of
tbr pier, it does not aflect the travel over
the bridge, however, in the least, as the
road b in no way injured. The proper
r,-pairs itarejbeen ordered, and the work
will very probably be done today.

victories over the Syrians who oppressed
Israel under the reign of Alitioclins

t’arlou* Runaway.
Yesterday the horse attached to the de
livery wagon of Mr. J. D. Carver, started
ou a race in front of the residence of Mr.
N. E. Harris, on Georgia Avenue, beyond
the Female col lege, and ran -down Mul-

As he passed into Second street some one

FREE POST At bEUTEItf.
Applicant* tor Carrier FoaHlow*-
«tnaIIHeatlon». Ete.
Since the publication ofthe order to es
tablish a free mail delivery in Macon
many applications'have been made to
£ostina!&er Glover for the'appolntmeata as
letter carrier*.' Yesterday a number of
petitions were circulated through the city
and found their way at length Into the
hands of Mr. Glover, the postmaster.
Several of the petitions liad a large num
ber of signatures of the best citizens of
the place. There will probably be four
carrion for Macon, though the number
will have to be decided by the special
government agent, who will make neces
sary arrangements.
We b arn from the postmaster that in
order for the application to be received,
die person applying must be over twenty-
one and under thirty-five years of age;
must be of temperate habits, and physi
cally able to fill this position.' He must
be able to read and write well, and un
derstand the fundamental rules of arith
metic. He must also be able- to give a
bond, the amount to be fixed by the post-
office authorities. All applications should
be written and signed % tlie person mak
ing It, . in it the fiill name, age and occu
pation. Tbc applications will be duly
considered, and from among them tlie
the postmaster will nominate and recom
mend to the Postmaster General the re
quired number and lie will make the ap
pointments.
Tbc rules by which the carriers are
governed are quite strict, but not more
so than Is demanded by the important
trust, tlie safe delivery of the mails,
which is placed in their keeping. They
will be in uniform and will lie required to
famish their own outfits. When not en
gaged in tlie collection or delivery of
mails, they will be subject to post-office
duty.
Tlie positions of carriers, however, com
mand good salaries and arc desirable to
many. Yesterday in a conversation with
a reporter of this paper, Postmaster
Glover remarked tliat lie thought it highly
probable tliat tlie service would be inau
gurated by tlie end of this month and that
lie hoped at least to have it under head
way at tlie opening of tlie new year. The
special agent of the department arrived
in tlie city from Washington and will com
mence to-day to look over the territory
and moke tlie final arrangements for tlie
early establishment ofthe system.
SUPERIOR COURT.
The Criminal Rocket.
Yesterday tlie Superior Court convened
at 0 o’clock, Judge Simmons presiding.
Tlie criminal docket was taken up. The
case of tlie State vs John Miller, colored,
assault with intent to murder, was called
for trial. This case came from tlie Rut
land District. It seems tliat 011 the Oth
of September, a little son of Mr. Birdsong
was accidentally shot at the store of Mr.
Flynn. As there seemed to lie some doubt
as to the shooting being accidental, a war
rant was taken out for the defendent. In
making the arrest, Mr. W. F. Cain, tlie
bailiff was resisted, and a rough aiid
tumble fight ensued, ill which Mr. Bird
song, who was with tlie bailin', was called
on to assist. Mr. Cain drew a knife and
inflicted a number of small wounds in the
ami of tlie darkey, lx'forc lie would sur
render.
The darkey who had liis gun with him
when first accosted, pointed it toward the
bailin'and threatened to shoot him. The
prisoner was found guilty of an assault
and battery.
The case of Abner Mack, colored, charg
ed with assault with intent to murder,
was also tried. He is charged with hav
ing stabbed another darkey named Steve
McBrydc in 1878. As Steve was at the
time in a fight with another darkey there
was a conflict in tlie testimony as to who
did the cutting. The defendant was ac
quitted.
During the morning, Prof. Daly made
an earnest appeal to Judge Simmons *in
behalf of the prisoners in the jail, stating
that in tlie cells there > erc no sashes, and
alluded to the general miserably poor ac
commodations.
Judge Simmons passed an order author
izing the placing of sashes in certain cell
windows, stating that if the commissioners
did not meet the bills he would.
Tlie question of a now jail was raised,
and Judge Simmons called the attention
of Solicitor General Bartlett to the fact
that the Commissioners were subject to
mandamus to show why the recommenda
tions of the grand jury had not been car
ried out. Tlis matter will probably take
that shape.
Sc hone in mi's Christmas Bazar.
We noticed several bright little fellows
yesterday in tlie middle of Cherry street
attentively examining some object on a
neighboring liousc-top, and had the curi
osity to pause and see what was the at
traction. A single glance revealed tbe
Whole.
There, on the eminenoe^at Santa Claus
arrayed in his traditional costume, and
willing and ready to make all the children
of the city happy by Ills magnificent gifts.
The little fellows fairly danced with
joy, when they beheld the contents of tlie
store just beneath the old gentleman.
That store was Scboneman’s; and here
has been congregated almost everything
tliat a mortal could desire for the amuse
ment and delight of the little ones at
Christmas. For the girls, are big and
little dolls, of wax, china, gutta
perclia, and rag babies in the bargain.
Then misses can be accommodated with
nice work baskets, dressing cases, china
tea and dinner sets, bureaus, bedsteads,
pianos, etc.
For tlie little rogues of the otlierscx, an
abundance of tin horns, crackers, fire
works, guns, swords, drums, pistols,
French harps, and automatical and me
chanical toys of almost every known des
cription. Some of the tin toys are vezy
ingenious and pretty, and cover all sorts
of models, from a tin top to a steamboat
and elevated railroad with its train of
cars. Besides there are more costly
goods well worthy of the attention of
grown up children. Among these is a
magnificent design comprising a rural
landscape, upon which trees, with birds
flitting in their brandies, are to be seen,
and the flowing of a waterfall.
But this is not all. The little folks
love bon bona and nice things, and Schone-
man will sell them to old Santa Claus
verydieap. These include, in part, French
and fancy candies, candy toys, sweetmeats,
cakes, jellies, nuts, and almost anything
you can ask for. Now, little people, just
talk out loud in time, and Santa Clans j
will be sore to hear, and get all that you |

ART ILLrfc?RATIONS.
A Delightful Entertainment.
Last evening at Ralston Hall, before a
good audience, was presented one of the
most pleasing entertainments that has
been given in Macon in some years, and
tbe best of its kind ever seen in this place.
Views of Milan, Florence, Naples, Pom-
pci, Venice and other points were shown,
the views being presented with a life-like
reality and faithful accuracy.
With the architectural beauties of the
places through which the spectator was
shown, the rich treasures of art were also
presented. The entire show was won
derfully entertaining and instructive. Of
the views presented we cannot say too
much. Many of them were grand, while
others were exquisitely beautiful. 1 Italy,
the country of high art, rich historical as
sociations, of beautiful architecture and
romance, formed a most inviting field for
the artist, and beneath its bine skies were
taken some of the loveliest.of its scenes
and presented on tbe canvass last even-;
ing.
The entertainment is of a high order!
It appeals to the sesthetic nature, it ele
vates, instructs and, refines. There was
no one present last evening but went
away highly edified. An evening can
hardly be spent more pleasantly than by
looking at tlie illustrations.
This evening Paris and all of its beauty
will be presented, including the finest
works of sculpture and its most magnifi
cent structures. After Paris, the audience
will be led through Versailles. Every
one who was out last evening was delight
ed, and a large audience will be present
tliis evening.
Burglary at Cross Keys.
Yesterday morning it was discoverer!
tliat tlie store of Mr. Douglass, located
just this side ofthe Walnut Creek bridge,
had been broken open and robbed. An
entrance was effected by pressing the door
in until a crack was made and then priz
ing tlie bar which held the door from its
fastenings. No one slept in the store,
and though Mr. Douglass’ residence is
very near by, he was not aroused by the
noise which this performance must have
made. From the store, which contained
a general stock, were missed a box of
shoes, a side of bacon, a box of tobacco, a
sack of flour, some whisky, and other ar
ticles not enumerated. What else was
taken it was impossible to tell.
The affair created a good deal of stir
in the little villlagc of Cross Keys near
by yesterday morning and all began to
cast about to discover tbe guilty parties,
Suspicion soon rested upon two colored
women who were found sleeping in a cot
ton house of Mr. Williams, who lives in
the neighborhood. The cotton liouSc
stands in a field. Yesterday morning the
two women were found sleeping -off the
effects of whisky, while with them were
also found several of tlie articles missed
from tlie store. It is supposed tliat after
the burglary they they became intoxicated
and went to- the cotton house to sleep
away the effects, hut overslept themselves.
They confessed tlieir guilt and implicated
two men who they say did the robbery.
Both of the men are known in the neigh
borhood and will in all probability be
caught.

have a gain over last year of about $28,-

tinue the balance of the season there will
be a further gain of at least $55,000,000,
making a total of $78,000,000 more receiv

last. The advance in Liverpool lias not

EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS
Are now being made for a grand exhibition of Holiday Goods, which will etnbraeo many new and
novel features this season. The entire center ot our store fronting on Second street will be derated
to this purpose, and any person wishing to make a present cither of a cheap or costly nature will
find their wants annulled in this exhibit. derilf
But I am Determined to Do It.
We shall this season introduce a novel feature to the
citizens of Macon. In every department of our business
we shall offer goods which are positively worth
Two, Three, Four, and Even Five Times
the price we shall ask.
It is a principle with us never to advertise a sale unless
we have something really desirable to sell. We Keep in
mind the old story of tfye shepherd’s boy, who in malicious
sport, frequently alarmed the village by his cry of
‘‘ THS WOLF, THE WOLF V 9
The villagers ran to his assistance only to find them
selves deceived; so they resolved to pay no more- atten
tion to the boy’s alarm, But one day the wolf really did
come, then the boy cried out in earnest bat no heed was
given to his cries, and the wolf quietly devoured the sheep.
Now just as the villagers acted towards the boy so do
our people act towards those merchants, who cry out
'•BARGAINS!, BARGAINS,”
when, in fact, they have no bargains.
