The ToncfAitEXT at Persy was, judging |
the accounts wo have heard on the subject, m. 1
truly a grand affair, and one long to be remembered
both by spectators and participants. We regret not
being able sooner to lay before our readers a de
scription of the BayingB and doings on this, to
many, eventful day; but being unable to attend
ourselves, have been most kjndly assisted by two of
Macon’s handsome young gentlemen who bad the
pleasure of attending. •
0«r informants are most assuredly convinced
that there are more beautiful young ladies in Perrv
than any other place in Georgia, (with all due defer
ence to the fair young ladies c-f our own city, be It
said.)
At three o'clock Thursday evening, the streets to
the lists were crowded, both by vehicles and pedes
trians, all wending their way to the place of contest,
which was situated in a very pleasant grove near
the city.
The proceedings consisted in twenty-seven hand
some and gaily attired knights entering the lists in
fine style, and mounted on fiery steeds, contending
for the honor of crowning the fair lady love-queen
of the festivities. That much desired treasure was
won by Mr. J. C. Marchm&nd, who, being a married
man, transferred his, right to Mr. Wm. Seymour,
who, in a very neaW.ud pretty speech, placed the
crown upon Miss Eda Thaipe’s fairy brow, the pure
whitenees of which contrasted beautifully with her
jet black loek9. . . .
Next, Miss Julia Felder was crowned first maid of
honor by Mr. Geo. Redding, the crown being accep
ted by Miss J. with a few beautifully appropriate
remarks, which were much applauded by the assem
bled beaux aud belles of Perry.
Lastly, Miss Rela Hill was, by Mr. D. B. Wim
berly, crowned second maid of honor, and most
gracefully did slio receiro tn« picago or mo ae,u-
tion.
All having repaired to the Conrt House to witness
the above ceremony, after it was concluded the
floors were cleared, and Miller’s Rand discoursed
sweet strains of music to the disciples of Terpsi
chore, who enjoyed themselves upon “the light
fantastic toe’’ until the clock struck one, when the
exhausted beauties of Perry repaired to their re
spective homes, accompanied by their beaux, leaving
onr informants to mount in their hard-seated buggy
and return to Macon, to
Meetbco of the State Fate Executive Com
mittee.—This body met yesterday afternoon in the
Agricultural Office on Mulberry street, Mr. A. L.
*“ !w -vell in the Chair. The following gentlemen
were P‘ , eri t, : Messrs. Maxwell, Collins, Obear,
Grier, Wim*q Pi p ]ant Nutting, and CoL D. W.
Lewis, Secretary Treasurer of the State Agri
cultural Society.
The minutes of the .preceding. meeting were
read and confirmed.
The report of committees m order, Mr.
Maxwell reported that he had sn^e^^j ju eln .
ploying a clerk. . > ,
The Committee on Water Works imported
progress.
The Committee appointed to employ a surveyor
reported favorably, stating that the work would
commence on to-morrow.
Mr. Grier, having given a sufficient excuse, was,
on motion, allowed to withdraw for the remainder
of the evening.
An Account of J. M. Boardman was read, and,
on motion, ordered to be paid from the first col
lections made.
Suggestions were then made by different members
of the committee in regard to advertisements of
the Fair.
Mr. C. A. Nutting was appointed a committee of
one to solicit subscriptions from the railroads.
One committee on subscriptions, not having re
ported, were requested to finish their work, and
report. ,
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

toted by CoL Rutherford in conclusion, in behalf

Re Court then proceeded to try the case of the
&te vs. Joe. Plant, (colored) who was charged
xi targlarv in the day time. He was represented
ic CoL Weems, who maintained that from the e vi
tae there were reasonable doubts as to his guilt,
lathe jnry "could not see it,’’ as a portion of the
detracted from the honse was found on
Joe.'* jereon. He was accordingly fonnd guilty.
The cue of Robt. N. Parker vs. the Mayor and
Jouncil of jlicon was taken np, and the remainder
of the morning consumed in the argument of a de-
narrer npon the declarations, which put in issue the
(gal liability of the city under the facts alledged
t*the plaintiff. The Judge reserved his decision
itil this morning, when the case will be resumed.

ittii-vEfo.—Our young men often get themselves
sfc triable by relying too implicitly upon their own
boiAilge of things and their presence of mind in
cnia positions. The following incident snbstan-
a:e* the correctness of this assertion:
There is a young gentleman in this city associated
rib one of the railroads diverging from it, who
hpptnedtobe at the passenger depot Saturday
wung, on the departure of the Central railroad
nix where he met a lady friend—perhaps more
an a friend—a passenger on the train, with whom
it was anxious to have a talk, and as the train was
ipartiag, he concluded to take a seat in the car
El ride with her to the point at which the outgoing
atria the incoming train, where he intended to
Lange cars and come back to the city. But so
deeply absorbed yas he in conversation with his fair
friend—so lost was he to everything else than the
tweet, winning smiles—the bright, fascinating, love-
aapiring expression of her beautiful eyes—that he
did not notice the meeting of the trains, which did
not stop as he expected, but merely lessened their
speed, and when he awoke to his situation, the
train was under a full head of steam and he was be
ing carried down the Central railroad as fast as the
iron hone" could move him. He at once made
la situation known to the conductor, who informed
km that it was impracticable for the train to stop
Wore reaching Griswoldville. The conductor now
joined his fair friend in teasing him, and they ear
ned him high until the train stopped. Having an
egagementin Macon, he did not wait for the up
l«*enger. train, but took the railroad track and
*•^1 back to Macon, a distance of about ten miles,
i'oa ber that in future this young man, though a
a -n»der, will not rely too fully upon his knowl-
°* schedules, and though not over susceptible,

^ofhiB "Dnicina,” sufficiently to note ordinary
tianspiring around him.

In conclusion, our informants wish to return

pleasant time spent at their house, and most par
ticularly to Mies D., the belle of the evening, for the
pleasure conferred upon them by her artistic per

Railuoad Combination. —Edilorj Telegraph:—
The leasing of the Southwestern Railroad by the
Central Railroad and Banking Company has been
the subject of mnch discussion, both private and
public, and much has been said as to the probable
effect which the combination of these two vast in
terests wonld have npon Macon. Not knowing the
details of the transaction, of course it is impossible
for us to speak definitely in the premises, but it is
fair, from our standpoint, to conclude that much of
the apprehension felt and manifested by onr people
is groundless, or rather, I ehonld say, they have as
little to apprehend from the consolidation as they
would have had from the two interests in their for
mer separate and distinct capacities—for, be it
known that the interests of the two roads were so
nearly identical, so mutually dependent each upon
the other, as that, if the interests of either had de
manded any change of tariff—any discrimination in
favor of or against any city or locality—such
change, no doubt, would have immediately been
made. The combination can and will do no more,
and, in doing this, they but exercise a just perogar
tive—an equitable privilege—which no corporation
or individual would hesitate to avail, did inter
est demand it.
Let ns net censure others for that which we our
selves would do. or expect of them favors which we
ourselves would not grant, if similarly situated.
We are too much given to selfishness, and too
prone to suffer our views and opinions to be circum
scribed within its narrow channels, and too ready
to censure those who. in pursuing their own inter
ests by just and equitable measures, happen to
do anything which, in any way, may operate against
ns. This is wrong: let us bring the question
home to ourselves. Suppose we had part, or all of
onr capital invested in railroad stock, and such com
petition should arise as to make it necessary to
change tariffs so as that the Company would be able
to pay at least the legal rate of interests, (a very low
rate in our State these times,) on the capital invest
ed, who among us would hesifate to vote for such
change—though it did discriminate against this
place, or that place? The highest duty the man
agement of a corporation owes is to its stockholders,
and if, in the protection of their interests, it be
comes necessary to fix discriminating tariffs, they
are cleariy justifiable in doing it, and we should not
attach any blame to them for it—because we wonld
do the same under similar circumstances. Civrs.

here, upon good authortity, that the Brunswick and

from Brunswick to the Chattahoochee river, that
the contract has been signed, sealed and delivered,
and that the road is to be constructed as rapidly as
possible. The people of Southwestern Georgia and

A Rush.—There was a tremendous rush at the
post office yesterday morning, by the population of
the city, both black and white, to obtain their pa
cers and letters which had been held all the day be
fore. When we visited the office, about ll o'clock
a. M-, a gang of negroes had possession of the gen
eral delivery window, and it was qnite impossible to
get within ten feet of it. Many of the ignorant ne
groes believe that the post office, like the ballot-box
on election days, is for their special benefit, now
that the office is in the hands of a negro, and they
rush thither to get a paper or ticket out of a box,
because they put “dem' tings in on ’lection days.”
Many of them hang about the delivery windows
merely to look in and eee what is going on, without
thinking that others behind are waiting for Jhem to
pass out of the way. What a shame it is that active
business men, and the business of a whole commu
nity, should be thus delayed by a gang of ignorant,
curious negroes, who. having no mails to receive,
still block np the way to the post office, and prevent
gentlemen from attending to their correspondence
and business affairs. The subject is too vexatious
for comment, and altogether too much for ordinary
patience to endure. May God forgive sins that our
people commit under the mighty outrages they are
now forced to bear.

Attexeted Bubglaby.—About 2 o'clock yesterday
morning a negro attempted to enter the sleeping
apartment of some young men who are bring with
Mr. H. P. Smith, in the Findlay honse, on the cor
ner of Second and Oak streets. The burglar, in
trying to remove the lower sash in the window
awakened the young men, and one of them slipped
out of bed and started into the adjoining room to
get a pistol; bat as the moon was shining brightly in
the room, the negro saw the movement, or snnffed
danger in the morning air thereabouts, and beat
a hasty retreat.
If the young gentleman had had a pistol within
reach, when he first awoke, he could have easily
killed the scoundrel, as the bed was not four feet
from the window. Wo advise citizens to keep a
pistol or gun within reach of their hands at all hours
of the night, so that such chances to kill burglars
as was afforded in the above instance, will not he
lost in future. Before you fire, he sure that yon do
so at a thief or burglar, and that you do not, in a
hasty manner, injure a friend or relative who may
be moving about in the room or on yonr premises.
In Statu Quo.—We are glad to learn that the of
ficers and employees of the Southwestern Railroad
Company will all be retained, at least for the pres
ent, in their respective positions, and that the re
cent consolidation of the affairs of the Central and
Southwestern Roads, will work no change either in
the employees or the officials of the two roads.
It is our pleasure to be personally acquainted
with several of the officers of the Southwestern
Road, and aho with several of its conductors, clerks,
etc., and we are sure that an abler, more efficient,
or more popular body of men could not be seenred
to conduct the affaire of the road, than they.
We are, therefore, glad to learn that their services
will be retained.

A New aud Beautiful Boole.
Night Scenes in the Bible. By Rev. Daniel March,
D. D., author of “Walks ana Homes of Jesus.”
Zeigler, McCurdy & Co.: Philadelphia.
This is one Of the most interesting and superb
contributions to sacred literature that we have seen
for many a day. It is a volume of about 550 pages,
devoted exclusively to the events of Scripture that-
occurred at night, which are presented with great
force of language and beauty of imagery. The
work is elegantly illustrated with steel plates by the
best of American artists, which give to it additional
value, while the remainder of the mechanical work
and material is of the most elegant description. It
is a charming book to read, and no more elegant or
nament for the parlor table or library has gone from
the American press. ,
“Sight Scenes in the JBihle.”—! have received a
copy of “Night Scenes in the Bible” by Rev. Dan
iel March, and take pleasure in commending it to
the public. It is a beautiful book, rich in thought
and style, an. ornament for the parlor table, and a

The market has been quiet and steady during

DR. SMMONS’ LIVER MEDICINE.
The country is flooded with counterfeite of this
important remedy, called Liver Regulators, Liver
Medicines, Liver Inrigorators, etc., all professing
to be the same as mine. Rut, as I go to the ex
pense of putting a steel-engraved envelope upon
every box of the genuine—containing my own min-
ature and autograph—made by a regular hank note
engraver, you have the meanB of avoiding imposi
tion, and thus saving yourself and neighbors.
The name “Liver Medicine”is my trademark.
Whoever else uses it, use that which does not be
long to them. And, as they do it for the purpose of
selling a spurious preparation, in order to get
money upon the reputation of the genuine, I feel it
my duty to warn the public against all 6uch prepara
tions and such proprietors.
Ask for the Genuine Simmon’s Liver Medicine,
prepared by Dr. M. A. Simmons, Iuka, Mississippi,
and take no other.
GROCERIES AND PROVISIONS.
Trade in this line during the week in review has
been moderately good, and except in the article of
com prices have been steady at last week’s quota
tions.
Com has advanced about 10 cents per bushel dur
ing the week, under a strong demand and an almost
exhausted stock. We note, however, that a consid
erable lot of com was received yesterday and to-day
by some of the leading dealers in the article and
for a few days they may be able to meet all ordina
ry demands.
Bacon is firmer and prices have advanced about
# of a cent since Tuesday last.
Flour continues dull aud drooping.
Other articles quiet and unchanged. We give care

Messrs. Zeilin <fc Co. /—We are, in duty to you
and ourselves, compelled to give you our certificate
in favor of your Simmons’ Medicine. We have sold
several gross of your valuable Medicine, since the
unprincipled attack upon you. Your Medicine has
increased in sale, and the people seem determined to
give the lie to all assertions that your Medicine is
not the genuine. Our average sale, retail, is from
three to five packages per diem. (If this is any ad
vantage to yon, publish it.) We find it tho best
Medicine for the liver we have ever sold, and give
you our certificate. Dr. Jas. Ethridge, the senior
partner, is a practicing physician of the highest
standing, and uees it for his patientB.
Send ns one gross more of Simmons’ Liver Regu
lator. Very respectfully, yours,
Ethridge & Davis.
Adams, Jones & Reynolds.—“Judge of us by
the past,” is the motto under which the Planters’
Warehouse will enter the next business season. The
firm could not have selected a better one, as the
greatest success has attended them in the past.
Prompt, reliable, attentive, and with a new and
commodious fire-proof Warehouse to conduct their
business in, we predict for this firm a splendid sea
son for ’69 and ’70. Refer to their card, planters, it
is to yonr interest.
Bagging.—During the present week some of onr
merchants have received a considerable portion of
their Bagging for baling the cotton crop of 1869.
There is now a large quantity of haling material in
this market—particularly iron ties. It is none too
early to be attending to this branch of trade, or
rather, to be preparing for it, as in years past the
Macon market has supplied the planters of Central
and Southwestern Georgia with a vast amount of
this kind of material.
Melons.—The market was abundantly stocked
yesterday with aH kinds of melons. As yet, they
command pretty tall prices, but they find a ready
sale. A large, nice water melon is now as good
for a dollar as a dime for a doughnut.
M^pss. Jonathan Collins & Son, Cotton Fac
tors and Commission Merchants, on Third street,
are now thoroughly repairing and fitting up their
large cotton warehouse for the accommodation of
their planting friends in Central and Southwestern
Georgia- The firm has done a very fino business
the past season, and has given universal satisfaction.
The senior partner is known among hosts of friends
by the complimentary sobriquet of “Old Relibhle,”
and it suits him precisely. The junior is a fine
financier, and, like his father, is well posted in the
cotton trade, and a good classifior. We fieel safe
in assuring all readers of the Telegraph, particu
larly the planters, that Jonathan Collins & Son will
give complete satisfaction in regard to all busines*,
or cotton, consigned.to them. They are prepared j

“I have not had time to notice the particular poi>
tions of the ‘Night Scenes of the Bible’ which strike
me most favorably. I am much pleased with the
Book, and tliink it well suited to family reading and
calculated to do good.” Jno. M. Beckwith,
Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church of
Georgia.
As pastors of Churches in this city, it affords us
pleasure to say that from all the information we can
gather, the “Night Scenes from the Bible,” by Dr.
March, re a most interesting and valuable work. It
is free from denominational bias; and is a presenta
tion, in an original form and beautiful style, of
many of the most important and interesting events
m the Bible.
We recommend it to the members of our congre
gations. E. W. Warren,
Pastor First Baptist Church.
Joseph S. Key,
Pastor Mulberry Street Church.
J. Blakely Smith,
Pastor First Street Methodist Church.
Macon, March 12, 1869.
A brief examination of “Night Scenes in the Bi
ble” has led me to form a favorable opinion of its
merits. Rev. Dr. March, the author, has here por
trayed, with peculiar symplicity and patboB, some of
’ilime and touching scenes in Biblical
the most sublime and'touching
history. These striking sketches; in point of liter
ary excellence and mechanical execution, may be
fitly styled apples of gold in baskets of silver. To
the youthful reader they possess all the charms of
sacred poetry; and the maturer mind may cull from
these polished pages choice lessons of instruction.
We regard this as as a beautiful and useful book
for the family. . David Wills,
■ Pastor of Presbyterian Church, Macon, Ga.
April 15, 1869.
Orders left either at the residence of Mr. 81 a;
comer of First and Pine streets, or at the

We did not believe in “cure alls” until we
tried Ayers inimitable pills, and now we think
the whole secret lies in the faot that purgatives
are the natural remedy for disease, and Dr,
Ayer has made the best of purgatives. They
cure all our complaints.—Logan, Ohio, Press.
The Milledgeville Recorder of the 6th says
From every portion of the.State we hear good
reports of the crops, and if no misfortune befall
the com and cotton, the year 1869 will be one
of the most prosperous that has blessed out peo
ple for many years. Our wheat crop has been
very good. One or two more good seasons, and
our com crop is made beyond failure.

NEWNAN
CHALYBEATE SPRINGS,
T HE attention of the public 1b specially invited to
the unparalleled claims of these celebrated and
popular Springs. To those who have visited them
they need no recommendation. Bnt a uniform ex
perience of more than ten years having fully demon
strated their superior virtues, demands that their
merits shonid he more widely known, and their ben
efits more largely extended. Hundreds of visitors can
testify to their healing efficacy and their wonderful
medicinal properties. In some instances their effects
upon enfeebled, emaciated system*, and delicate con
stitutions of both sexes, have been almost miraculous
Thefollowing signal advantages of these Springs
over all other watering places will commend them
selves to all intelligent minds:
1st. They are located in the corporate limits of the
city of Newnan, one of the most healthy, pleasant
and delightful towns in Georgia. Here there are ex
cellent Schools, Churches ana social advantages un
surpassed anywhere. The people are genial, polite.

cultivated and refined. The ladies of Newnan can
not be surpassed by any community.
2d. These Springs are directly acce3eible by rail
road; within a few hundred yards of the Atlanta and
West Point Railroad. This will save Hack and Coach
fare, and the inconvenience of transportation .to re
mote rural districts. There is, also, a Telegraph
Office, which will pat visitors in daily and hourly
communication with their homes in the cities.
3d. Board can be obtained at two excellent hotels,
or in pleasent private families, at from $25 to 830 per
month, which is less than half the average of board at
other popular watering places. The facilities for good
fare are equal to any in the country.
4th. As to the mineral waters themselves, they need
only to be tested to satisfy any unprejudiced mind of
their superior merits. Their medicinal effects will
be experienced immediately. They are a powerful
tonic; giving a good appetite aud building up an en
feebled constitution from the commencement of
their use.
5th. Add to ali these considerations the advantages
of polite and pleasant society; a wonderfully bracing
and salubrious climate; many sources of pleasant re
creation, and the fact that Newnan is one of the best
and cheapest retail markets (for even- -variety of
goods) in the South, and it may be safely affirmed
that no place can present such an array of attractions
to visitors as this. We ask but a trial to satisfy any
one. Those wishing a choice of homes shonid be sure
to oome early, as we expect to be crowded with visi
tors during the season. For particular* address
