at the Walnut creekbridge, had a prelim-
inwy trial before Justice D. H. Adams,

ries, is quite dear. The men reported to

Contract t'lovetl - Xiscoss'* Prosperity.
Mr. G. B. Roberts lias closed the con
tracts for Uic erection of two stores on the
site of the stores which were burned last
spring on Cherry street. They will, when
completed, lie occupied by Hunt, Rankin
A Lamar as a wholesale drug house,’and

tablishment. The stores are to lie one
hundred and eighty feet in length and
gabbed in strict and complete styl^
They will lie a great addition to the
street.
The confidence in real estate invest
ments in Maron is rapidly increasing, ami
the appreciation of values marked and de
rided. This is constantly indicated ami
. shown by investments that arc constantly
being made in our miibt, and tlic city has
already entered upon an era of prosperity
that bids fair to make her one ofthe great
inland cities of the South.
A Sc min lie in the Howard District.
On last Monday night alively quartette,
composed of Means. Albert Wingfield, J.
D. Howard, D. S. Bazeinore and L. R.
Lundy, started nut on a serenade. Messrs
Wingfield and Howard occupied a buggy.
The other two went ahead on horseback
and the buggy followed. After one place
had been visited, tlic night being dark,
the hone ran over a stump which threw
the buggy over, imprisoning tbc two occu
pants beneath it.
Lusty calb were made for assistance,
Which were responded to by the out-riders.
As they rede up the lamentations of tlie
two heroes ofthe k^f IBM the air.
True to tlie main object in view, however,
Mr. Bazeinore inquired anxiously, “Is the
guitar hurt?” Tlie buggy was set right
side up with care, the broken parts tied
together, the instrument tuned up and tlic
serenaders continued on tlicir rouuds tlie
lialance of tlie night. Morning found
two of them, with its gray mists, riding in
' the wont looking buggy in Bibb county,
hut happy over their lucky escape.
IJbrnry lecture Thin Evening.
This evening at Masonic Hall Rev. J.
William Jones, D.D., the distingtdshcd
Virginian, will deliver his popular lecture
•The Boys in Gray,” for the benefit pf
the Public Library.
Dr. Jones comes highly endorsed by the
press of the country and we foci perfectly
safe in premising a highly entertaining
lecture. He served with Lee, was
with him through his campaigns and has
since his death perpetuated his memories
of the great Confederate chieftain op the
historic page. We know no one more
capable of speaking of “The Boys in
Gray” than Dr. Jones.
It has been said that the refusal of
Southern men to respond to the appeals
of the lecture committee of our Public
Library to deliver addresses for the bene
fit of the institution, is due to an impres
sion that audiences cannot be secured for
them. People, they say, will pay to hear
a lecture from Tal mage' or JoshBillings,
orevem Blainr, but will not come out to
hear a Southern man. We trust that Dr.
Jones' audience will disprove the charge
this evening, so far, at least, as Macon is
concerned. The lecture will begin at 8
o'clock.
nd Street*.
We regret to have sp soon again to call
attest ion to the execrable condition of
atune of the most frequented thorough
fares of the city. Cotton avenue, from
the intersection of Cherry street to Col
lege, with a few exceptional good places,
is m a miserable state.
Beyond Plum street it is in several places
well nigh impassable. The abandoned
street railroad stretches down the middle
of the toad and prevents crossing from one
side to the other, and the street, narrow at
heat, is terribly cut up, so that it is with
difficulty that teams meetiug each other
can pass at all. It would be well if all
other work now being done on the streets
was stopped, and this important thor
oughfare, over which so much cotton is
; into the city, put in better or-
tfMMldk CtoUBt.
The Owes Against the Pickpockets.
Yesterday the cases against tlie pick
pockets were called and tried. The first
was against James Brooks for larceny
from the person. The facts developed in
the case were that on the 30th day of Oc
tober the defendant robbed Colonel W.
H. Willis, of Oglethorpe, of the sum of
$300 in the car shed in the dusk
evening.
The manner of the robbery has been
described before, and the facts of the case
are probably familiar to our readers. He
was subsequently arrested in the dining
room ofthe Brown House by Officer Me-
Cafierty, and identified by Colonel Willis
as the man who committed the robbery,
nc was found guilty. This is the second
offense of Uic same description of which
the defendant lias been fonnd guilty,
Tbc other case was against Julius Rai-
fonl, charged with being an accessory to
the robbery of Mr. Charles J. Goodwin.
Mr. Brooks, defendant in the fust case
tried, was convicted as principal in the
case. The indictment in that case with
the verdict of the jury upon it was offer
ed in evidence. The following testimony
was taken:
Lieutenant Hurley sworn: On the 27th
of October I was in the carshcd. I was
there when Mr. Goodwin was robbed,
saw the defendant there, ne was sitting
In the carshed with another party. They
walked out of the end of tlie carshcd and
returned very soon. Tlie defendant.
Brooks and another man had frequent
consultations together. Directly the train
came under the sited. Tlie three men got
together and all got on one car. I crossed
over to the dark side and saw them go
nearly to the end of the car, whore tlicy
came across Mr. Goodwin. The defend:
ant warilirectiy in front of Mr. Goodwin,
of Marshal ville. He looked as if he was
hugging Goodwin; I could not swear
that he put his hands in his pockets, or
tliat he robbed him, but they were directly
together. This was about a minute be
fore I found out the robbery had been
committed As soon as 1 heard of the
robbery I told Mr. Butner, tlie Sheriff of
Houston county, to go and see if Goodwin
had not iicen robbed. Tlie circumstances
of the case were then detailed substan
tially as pnblished a few weeks ago,
Lieutenant Hurley describing minutely
the various positions held by the parties
engaged in the robbery, the defendant be
ing directly in front of Mr. Goodwin with
his arms apparently around him.
On tlic cross examination Lieutenant
Hurley stated that lie did not swear that
Raiford was not there on the preliminary
trial.
Tlic two men, (Goodwin and Raiford)
were directly against each other like as if
two men were going to ling each otlier
and tlic third man who was not
arrested gave Raiford a push di
rectly from behind, while they were in
tills position. I arrested Raiford about
three quarters of an hour after tlie scene
described above. The robbery was com
mitted between six aud seven o’clock,
Wednesday evening of tlic fair, on a train
on the Macon and Western track. I was
standing in about three feet of tlic car.
Tlic car windows were hoisted. The
blinds were not down. I was standing
faciug the car, looking in. I went to the
rear end of the car as soon as I could af
ter I saw the struggle, and met Brooks
and Raiford coming out. It. was not
more than five minutes after Goodwin
was robbed that he made it known.
The manner of the collision in the car
was closely described, and the position of
tlie defendant shown to the jury, Sheriff
Cherry being used in the illustration.
The officer swore positively that he saw
Raiford in the car at the time of the col
lision between .the four men. He did
not search him after lie was arrested.
When lie was scarclicd at tlic barracks, he
understood that a counterfeit fifty dollar
hill and a twenty dollar bill torn in two
were found on him. In rebuttal Lieuten
ant Hurly sta|ed it was about three or five
raiuutcs after Goodwin was robbed that
lie told it to him. Goodwin’camc to him
and told him that he was robbed of be
tween seven and eight hundred dollars.
Tlic testimony of Mr. Goodwin was
read by tlic Solicitor General to the jury
to prove the conviction of Brooks, the
principal. The testimony of Lieutenant
Hurley on tlie trial of Brooks was also
read by Mr. Bartlett to the jury, at the re
quest of defendant’s counsel.
After argument and the charge of the
court the case was submitted and a ver
dict of acquittal was rendered by the jury.
Tlie verdict was a surprise alike to
tlie court, the attorneys and the prisoner.
The verdict in the case of Abner Mack,
charged with assault with intent to mur
der, was guilty of assault and battery and
not acquitted as was reported.
Tlie case of Mr. John W. Burge, chaiged
with the murder of Mr. Tola some six
years since, has been set for this morning.
College street to Cotton Avenue, has
tomte great washes, gullies and holes in it,
making it dangerous to vehicles passing
along several portions of it faster than a
Several places on High street need
Bate attention and other places
might be mentioned.
On the other hand, Mulberry street,
which has recently received the attention
of the street force, is in beautiful order,
and is now a handsome street. More sat
isfaction would be given to the citizens at
large if some important work of patching
was done just at present instead of any
continuous labor on any particular street.
Tlie work on the portion of Washington
Avenue beyond College street lias been of
a very satisfactory character and tlie road
ways leading to tlie Yiceville bridge is in
- -oiition.
ART VI.T.l
RATIONS.
Paris East Evening:.
At Ralston Hall last evening a large
audience assembled to witness the art il
lustrations of Messrs. Soderer & Ball.
The attendance was much larger than on
any previous evening, and showed the in
creasing popularity of the exhibition, and
that our people are beginning to realize
its true merit.
Paris and Versailles were given and
the illustrations as they faded into one an
other formed a series of deeply interesting
liistoric and aesthetic reproductions which
have never been excelled in Macon. Ex
pressions of admiration were heard
throughout the hall, and the com
mendation of all was accorded the enter
tainment.
The Arch of Triumph, the Champs
Elysees, the palace of the Tuileries, the
Louvre, historic Notre Dame Cathedral,
the tomb of Napoleon—in short, the most
prominent points about the great city
were faithfully reproduced on canvas
for the audience. The statuary was very
fine—faithful in outline, and reproducing,
by means of the powerful light used, the
soul of the artist as stamped upon the
marble.
During the evening a fine illustration of
the Bond monument in Rose Hill ceme
tery, prepared by Mr. Blackshear, was
given. This evening Palestine and Egypt
will be given and will be of great interest
to all. The transformation scene of the
“Rock of Ages,” which was so much ad
mired last evening, will be repeated.
PERSONAE.
Du. J. William Jones, of Richmond,
Virginia, arrived in the city yesterday
afternoon, and is stopping at the Brown
House.
Colonel G. W. Joed ax and Misses
Mattie C. Walker, M. F. Pate and M. S.
Jordan, of Pulaski county, were at the
Lanier House last evening.
We regret to learn from a letter re
ceived in this city last evening, that the
mother of the distinguished Georgia poet,
Paul H. Hayne, is very ill at his resi
dence on Copse Hill, near Augusta.
BREVITIES.
—Many compliments were passed yes
terday and the day before, on the new
dress of this paper, and the clear impres
sion is much admired.
—The teachers’ meeting or the Mul-
bery Street Methodist Sunday School will
be held at the residence of Major J. B.
Cobb this evening at 7:30 o’clock.
—Reserved seats to the art illustrations
can be secured without extra charge at
Burr Brown’s and will obviate all confu
sion at the hath
—One of the popular traveling sales
men of the city, who has a rather clerical
name, speaks of going into the drygoods
business with a silent partner soon.
—The young people of St. Paul’s
Church will give an entertainment at Mr.
D. R. Cook’s residence on College street
on to-morrow evening for the benefit of
the church. It will be a pleasant [afiair.
—The office of Mr. J. P. Hough, agent
of the Mutual Relief Association, has
been changed from 68 to 100 Cherry
street, over the store of Messrs. E. Price’s
Sons.
—The thermometer yesterday indicated
seventy-two degrees for several hours; a
remarkable altitude for this season of the
year. We are enjoying the temperature
of spring, while the French Fahrenheits
are hovering around the zero point.
—Yesterday afternoon a rabbit escaped
from Farmer’s corner and ran down Cher
ry street to-wanl Third, hotly pursued by
several dogs. Others joined in the pur
suit, and the small boy lent the attraction
of his multitudinous voice to the chase.
The little woodland stranger made a des
perate effort to escape, and ran into the
ruins ofthe burnt stores on Cherry street,
and was then killed by the dogs. Quite
a crowd collected to see the finish of the
COUNTY COURT.
Some Lively Boslness'Ycsterday.
Yesterday a colored hoy by the name of
Jim Helfresh,was tried in the County
Court for tlie offense of larceny. He stole
ten bars of soap from the store of Mr. T.
Callahan on Third street on Saturday
night last. Officer McC’afferty arrested
him on Tuesday and the case came up
regularly yesterday. The evidence clearly
made out the offense and the defendant
was found guilty. The boy was dischaig-
ed from the chain gang on the 24th of
October, after serving out a sentence of
vagrancy. He was sentenced to six.
months on the public works. He is a con-
stitntional thief, and a position on the
chain gang seems to be his normal place.
In tlic afternoon some lively proceed
ings came before the court. Mr. R.T.New-
by, of Twiggs county, came before Judge
Holt and took out a possessory warrant
against Mr. George Moore for sixty-five
dollars, which he alleges Moore had
taken from him the night before. He al
so swore out warrants accusing Mr. Moore
of gaming, of keeping a gaming house,
and of keeping a disorderly house, mak
ing four in all. A counter warrant was
sworn out by Mr. Moore against Mr. New
by for gaming.
On the warrant/or gaming Mr. Moore
demanded indictment by the grand jury,
and went to trial on the case of gaming,
After hearing the evidence, a judgment of
not guilty was rendered by Judge Holt in
the case.
The possessory warrant was set for a
hearing at 0 o’clock this morning.
The case against Mr. Newby for gam
ing was also set for this morning at 9
o’clock. Mr. Newby claims that on Tues
day night he was inveigled into a room in
the rear of a saloon in the city and made
drunk, and while in this condition his
money was won from liim.
Mr. Moore claims that Newby insisted
that he play with him, and that he even
desired to stop him after he had lost lire
dollars.
The cases were quite spicy in their de
tails.

we have something really desirable to sell. Wc Keep in
mind the old story of the shepherd’s boy, who in malicious
sport, frequently alarmed the village by his cry of
‘‘THE WOLF, THE WOLF!”
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 tho boy so do
our people act towards those merchants, who cry oat
“BARGAINS. BARGAINS,”
when, in fact, they have no bargains.
We believe it a false policy, and it is only because we
know that we present decided inducements, that we urge
upon our people to inspect the goods advertised below.
Please take note of the following: Oar entire stock
will be arranged in sections and so
customers will be enabled to select a
old or young, at any price from
$^g=,Five Cents to Ten Dollars,’^!*'
without the inconvenience of looking over the entire
stock. For instance, one section will contain articles for
One Dollar, as shown by card.
