Tuesdayt the day set apart for the Decatur
county stock show and races has come and
gone, and so has the show and races. TLC
morning dawned cloudy and damp, with every
sign of an unpleasant day. The Crowd did
not gather fast and so the management took
on a good stock of “bines.” Bo for as paying
expenses was concerned the failure of the af
fair was already apparent.
It was near twelve o’clock before anything
like a respectable crowd put in an appearance
on the grounds* Nothing seemed to work
right. It the first place the brass band,
owing to unavoidable circumstances, could
not play. Then pasties who had promised to
enter horses foiled to come to tipie. Ia feqt
everything appeared to work by cbntraries.
The town people, as a class, did not stir a
finger for the BueceSs of the affair; and the
crowd on the grounds Was compassed almost
altogether of onr public-spirited country
friends. Only a few of oar most enterprising
business men attended.
The first trial of speed on the prgramme.
was a trotting race gotten tap for “Pngasus,’’

In the half mile running race, best two $h

“Maseppa,” and W. B. Mims, “Jim Shaw.”
The first heat was won by “Maseppa,”
with “Jim Shaw” pressing close at his heels.
“Jonas” was closed out. The second heat
wm very exciting. “Jim Shaw” made a gal
lant sptart for the lead fib tbe start, and past
ed the first quarter over twenty five yards
ahead of his opponent. Bat “Mazepa,”
came down o i the home stretch at a tremen
dous speed and passed under the line with

There were three entries for the Wright

wm a half mile dash, very close and exciting.
“Bonnett” and “Vaulter” came down the
home stretch together, the former winning
by half a length. Owing to the advantages
in tbe start, tbe nee Waa called a draw, and
Mr. Cox declined to allow his colt io run
again. In the second dash “Vsnlter” bolted
tbe track and left “Theresa".an easy victory.’
The following won premiums i T. T. Kills,

Several races were declared “off” for want
of entries.
The crowd in attendance numbered be

everybody appeared to enjoy themselves
bngely. If the town people had come oat as
they should, the stock show and racea could
have been made a big success.
Tbe stock show and races clearly demon

Sale ef the Caddo Belle.
Yesterday morning it was rumored on the
streets that tbe steamer Caddo Belle bad been
sold to the People’s Line. Upon inquiry we
found that the rep- rt was correct. The Co
lumbus Steamboat Company was organized
laSt summer, and the steamer was purchased
in September, at a cott of f11.000. Tbe com
pany expended some money in repairs, im
provements, ehe., and the total cost was about
#12.500. The exact price paid for her by tbe
People's Line could not be ascertained, bnt
the best information ia to the effect that tbe
owners received a little over her cost price.
It is said that the company had lost as much
as #1,500 since the purchase of the Caddo
Belle.
At present she will ply between this city
Bainbridge. Capt. C. A. Klink has been re
tained as commander and Capt. S. J. Pecot as
purser. The other officers will also bo re
tained.—Cbhtmfrtw Enquirer-Seat.

A correspondent ot thoBtockton (Gal.) Her
ald writes as follows: “I herewith append a
recipe which has been used to my knowledge
in hundreds of cases. It will prevent or cure
the small pox, thongh the pittings are filling*
When Jenner discovered cow pox in England
the world of science hurled an avalanche of
fame upon his head, bnt when the scientific
school of medicine in the world—that of Paris
—published this recipe as a panacea for small
pox, it passed unheeded. It is unfailing as
fate, and conquers in every instance. It is
harmless, when taken by a well person. It
will also cars scarlet fever. Here is tbe re
cipe as I have used it, and cured my children
of scarlet fever; here it is as I have used it
to cure small pox; when learned physicians
said tbe patient must die, it cored: Sulphate
of zinc, on6 grain ; foxglove (digitalis), one
grain; half a teaspoonful of sugar; mix with
two tablespoonfnis of water. When thor
oughly mixed, add four ounces of water.
Take a spoonful every hour. Either disease
will disappear in twelve boors. For a child,
smaller doses, according to age. If counties
would compel their physicians to use this,
there would be no need of pest houses, rtf
you value advice and experience, use this for
that terrible disease.”
Tike 8. 8. Mimtanary Meeting.
This meeting came off Friday night last ax
advertised. It was a most refreshing and en
joyable affair. The meeting waa opened with
prayer by Rev. N. T. Burks, aad a song in
which all tbe children joined. *
Mr. A. L. Townsend, President of the Sun
day School Missionary Society of tbe M. E.
Church, arose and addressed the meeting at
length, describing tbe working of the Society
—bow they collected money, and bow it was
applied. He then pictured those who were
opposed to tbe foreign missionary fond and
why their opposition. After this ho declared
the meeting ready for business, and called out
the exercises as they were laid down in the
programme. The children’s recitations were
all good, and the singing waa splendid. Mr.
Burke is an adept in singing, and he has
made bis impress upon the school.
The address ef the evening was delivered
by Mr. Henry J. Bruton, and it was one to be
proud of. The subject matter was good and
well arranged, and its delivery splendid. Mr.
Brnton frilly sustained his reputation as a
young orator of superb endowments. The
Rev. Mr. Lockwood, was ao carved away by
the enthusiasm tbe speech inspired him with,
that he exclaimed “Would that the Spirit
might move' Henry Bruton to pi each the gee-
pel.”
At the close of Mr. Bruton’s address the
classes were called, and as the name of each
claS88 waa read out some member thereof
arose, repeated a verse in the Bible, and then
came forward with the money saved to go to
the missionary fond. When the amount
previously reported was added to that placed
on the table on the present occasion, it was
found that tbe Society for tbe year bed raised
#52.50. being #7.58 less than their assessment.
The Golden Liuk class having contributed
#2.85 of the the sum collected Was called the
Banner Class.
Bnt there was #< .58 to raise to make up tbe
required #60. Mr, Lockwood made a speech.
He interspersed it with anecdotes, statistics
and special pleading. He spoke long and
well, and the audience were attentive. The
hat went round and came back with hardly
half the deficit—but Mr. Lockwood told tkem
they must stay all night or pay up. Tboa he
seined tbe crowd, and when he counted ont
the nickles it was found that only 11.10 wm
Beaded. This was made o$by ayounggem-

Burkett’s Mill.
Levi F. Burkett is an enterprising man. To
his capital no man in Bainbridge is ahead of
him in this respect. A few years ago he
bnilt a splendid gtist mill and gin in the city.
It was making money, and had become one of
onr institutions—hut one night a terrible
rainstorm came upon onr town, and floods of
water fell from the clouds as it the “bottom
had dropped out.” The next morning waa
bright and beautiful, but Barker's Mill had
disappeared front the face of the earth. It
certainly could not have taken wings and
sailed off in tne ether bine, for no speck of it
could be s°en in the sky. It bad caved into
the earth, a shapeless mass of wood, iron,
gins and millstones. Thus Mr. Burkett’s val
uable property was rained in a night. Yet
Burkett did not cry—if he even grieved no one
ever heard of it. He laid his plans, however,
and determined at some future time to build a
mill, that would be a mill indeed, and upon
ground that had a bottom.
Well, Mr. Burkett has at Inst achieved hie
object, and bis manufactory on West street
in a credit to him. He has splendid new ma
chinery, capable of furnishing an tbe power
he wanta. His grist will turn ont over 100
bushels of meal per day. and he is busy put
ting up machinery for making staves, which
are in groat demand. He will also have a pow
erful gin in operation.
W* congratulate Mr. Burkett, and wish him
mneh success in hia new entorprfoa.
