We have obtained from our worthy Tax Re ceiver, Simeon Brinson, the billowing facts, and publish them as they may prove of inter est to the citizens of the county. The aggre gate value of taxable property, as appears by the digest of 1880, when the present assessor came into office, was f2.02a.725, this was in creased in 1881 to f2.lA2.654; and the digest of the present year aggregates $2,298,727, showing that Mr. Brinson by an honest and faithful discharge of his duties has increased the digest dining his term of office $278,002. W m. Blount. This enterprising gentleman purposed starting a hanking and warehouse business in Marianna, but failing to procure a ware- nousc there abandoned the idea ; whereupon the Marianna Courier takes the blues and re fuses to be comforted. Of course Mr. Blount had no idea of aban doning Bainbridge. In fact we could not afford to lose lum ; he is too valuable a citi zen, too public-spirited a man to leave our town just now. The Marianna people would do well to have Mr. Blount start the business contemplated in their midst. I*oi»e A Grace. The above firm succeeds Tope McLen don in the Drug business in this city. ?dr. Grace is ia charge, lie is a gentleman in every sense of die word, and one of the best druggists in the country. By the advertise ment it will be seen tint.

There seems to be no lack of patriots who are willing to sacrifice themselves on the altar of the “deer people,” and accept a nomination lor the House of Representa tives at their hands.

But there arc plenty of men in ol<M>ecatur to insure her proper representation, so that probably the subject does not interest the people much. AND SECURE YOUR- BARGAINS ! Remember- -only two weeks. BE. E. SMITH -Proprietor of- lie New Bazar Mutch Game at C’uiro. Wednesday the 2nd inst., the base ball club, Stars Jr., headed by their president, and accompanied by the pretty daises, Misses Mollie Clark, Inez Johnson, K!lie Doualson, Mattie Bruton, Lilia Williams and Emma Col bert, took tbe train tor Cairo, Ga., to engage the Magnolia club in a friendly game. Tbey reached their destination just before night fall and were kindly cared for by the club and tlieir friends, Drs. S. A. Roddenbery, S* W. Davis and Mr. Forrester, at the hotel. Mr. Hall, Mr. H’m. Powel and Mrs. Towell. Thursday our club and ladies were treated to an enjoyable pic nic in nature’s beautiful temple at a spring one mile south-west of the towu. Here under the frieudly shade of grand old oaks and moaning pines a table was spread loaded with ample delicious viands fit for the feast of Gods; over whom stately matrons »nd “bonttie” lassies presided, and kindly pressed their guests to freely pat take and be merry. Amoug then! the writer had the pleasure of greetiug Miss' * Mattie and Alice Underwood, the accomplished daugh ters of the chief editor of the South Georgia Clarion. At-three o’clock t>'e game opened, and after a spirited contest the Magnolias came out victorious. As our boys met “foe- men worthy of their steel,” they as good and true fellows bowed to tbe decree of fate, and out a shadow of a doubt, the grandest, largest best combinations of circus, menagerie, gal lery ot wax statuary, bicycle college, amphi theatre Russian roller skaters, and mnsenm, ever placed before the public. The enter tainment offered is entirely new in its char acter and embraces no less than nine distinct departments, any out of which wonld com prise an ordinary exhibition and far surpass the general run of so-called circuses. An enormoas theatre stage ia erected for the pnrpose of producing acts and features here tofore unseen with canvass shows. Acts are presented simultaneously in the game ring, yet go arranged that they do not conflict or detract attention. And, since it ha- become the fashionable thing with this great show to present gigantic efforts, Mr. Cole has pur chased “Sampson,” the largest Asiatic ele phant ever in America, or ever in captivity. This hnge monster is a marvelous mountain of flesh and bone, whose tonnage iB almost, if not quite, eqnal to an ordinarp herd of elephants. His strength is also Samsonian, and with no apparent effort he lifts two heavy horses from the gronml at a single surge. A graud gallery of wax statuary, representing all the presidents of the United States men of mark, politicians, noted criminals and crowned beads, is also one of tbe notable fea tures. A menagerie of wi ! d beasts, droves of camels, winged fowls and rare birds, loose led animals of every kiud; caged atia uncaged ferocious beasts are to be seen in profusion. The stud of traiucd stallions, performing the “ring stock," and prancing ponies has been pronounced the most wonderful display of horse flesh ever brought together. The press throughout the land is universal in its praise of this marvelous show*whicli now comes to to us more than ten times its former size, and containing more new features than could be enumerated in a column of this journal. It will make a grand tour of the Southern States, traveling on its own monster train of' cars, and exhibiting at Bainbridge early lu October. It has long been a growing desire to make this great show the criterian of all amusements, and since returning from a tour to foreign lands it has proudly maintained its reputation as being the greatest show enter prise on earth. Corrcspimtlciicc. Bainbridge, Ga., June 28th, 1882. Hon. 11. 11. Bowin', Bainbridge. Ga., Dear Sir -At a meeting of the Bar of Decatur county, held to-day in the Court House, a resolution was offered and unanimously adopt ed requesting you to be a candidate for tbe Judgsbip of this, tbe Albany Judicial Circuit, at tbe approaching session of the Legislature, to fill the unexpired term of the late Judge W. G.. Fleming. Me pledge you our individ ual and united support, and hope that the Legislature will coufer upon you the ermine, to which your well-known ability as a iawyci and your character as a gentleman entitle yon. Sincerely hoping that you may not find it inconsistent with your idterests and feelings to comply with our request, we are, Yours itespectful v, C ii Campbell, Chairman, Daniel McGill, Maston O’Neal, Win H Crawford, Jno E Doualson, Rob! 11 Terrell, Geo F Westmoreland, Oliver G Gurley, George Gurley, Hai A O Morrison, Arthur L Townsend, H G Townsend, Eugene M Thomas, David A Russell, Jeff D Talbert, William M Har-ell. Bainbridge, Ga., July 28th, 1882 Gentlemen of the Bainbridge Bar :—Your letter requesting me to be a candidate for Judge of this circuit was duly received and maturely considered aud having reason to Re lieve that your request is in accord with the wishes of the people I will cheerfully comply with it. My reply has been delayed by sick ness aud absence. I feel highly flattered by the complimentary manner in which you have alluded to me, and if I should be elected, whilst I would be proud of tbe high and honorable position, my great est gratification will be to feel that I have won the confidence and esteem of those with whom I have lived longest and borne tbe closest and most intimate relations. Thank ing yon for the compliment and honor you have conrerred upon me, I am truly your Obedient Servant, - B. B. Bo web. Patron of the Whittier School . Answered. Mr. Editor: Please inform “Patron” that tbe Board of Education is not responsible for the extra 15 cents per month charged by the teacher at the Whittier Academy. The Com missioners appropriated an amount sufficient in their judgment to make that school entire ly free during the public term. The trustees cf the 513th district were notified of the amount appropriated, and perhaps allow the extra charge. The commissioners have noth ing to do with it, as it is a matter entirely under control of the trustees and patrons. returned in good hnnior, to the hospitable homes of their generous victors, who did, , . nomts s This grumbling growling patren and tbe everything in tbeir .power to take away tbe | grum h h , sting of defeat, and succeeded. From obser vation, I opine, our gallant boys suffered far less from the defeat of the Magnolias, than they did from tbe sweet smiles and tuerry bright eyes of the lovely girls of Cairo. The conqnest of these bright-eyed lasses will never be effaced from their memory, while the victory of the Magnolias will soon be for gotten. •‘And like the baseless fabric of a vision Leave not a wreck behind.” Tom Powell, Kedar Powell, M G McManus, other patrons should have made a contract with tbe teacher aud s<j)jmitted it to tbe trustees for their approval and then the dread ful vision of a “ring” would not have loomed up before his mind. J. D. Talbert, Member Board Education. Mr. Editor: I heard it said that this county would poll a vote for prohibition. That many who drink and some who sell liqnor will vote for it. Aud of course every father ... „ i i„„ no who has sons growing up. Can’t we have a W T Forrester, \N B Roddeuberry, Jno Oder, \ ^ ?

G. G. Cl R NEXT UOVERXCR. Has alreadv made arrangements with the celebrated Flint River Store to furnish him with Clothing, Shoes, Hats, Ac., as he can buy them much cheaper in Bainbridge than elsewhere. Let there be no abuse, wrangling or excite ment, each vote intelligibly as freeuu n. Yours Etc., West Marvin. He is Here. Mr. W. M. Blount has come at last and set tled down to business. He is business, he means business, and is determined to do business! aud if you don’t believe it, call and see him at the Fanners and Merchants ware house. LOCAL ODDS A>I> E.\ I»S. A lightning schedule will bo mn at the Farmers and Merchants warehouse this sea son. Winter is booming in summer. Did Long Bobwood sell his goat Saturday? Our town is improving. Evidences of it are on every hand. The Jeffersonian Library is open on Tues day, Thursday aud .Saturday evenings. Prof. Witherspoon will be here next week' He will re-open the Bainbridge Academy on the 28th inst. Who was that said Bainbridge was going down t We just want to know, for we have a small-sized thunderbolt to tap the rascal in the head as soon as he discovers himself. See adrertiseut of the People's Warehouse in another column. George Griffin is always hound to get a big share of the cotton, aud he lets tue people know what he is doing through the columns of The Democrat. The steamboats have increased their freight aud passenger rales. This is all right; all lira .-class towns do not complain of it at all, Tne boats must live and lluurisii, and the people are ncu enough not lo mind it. Dr. E. B. Bush, of Colquitt, was in town Tuesday. It is said that Mirier county will present his uanic lor the fcjiatc Senate at the coming convention. W ell; accordtug to our way ol thinking she could hot freeze on to a better man. Me heard a lady say tbe other evening: what a dear dear delighttul man Capt. Guriev is ; he has made so many hair breadth escapes. His dear, darling articles ou that bovine animal, tue Fish, are too utterly utter. They are perfectly splendid.” “bee the lady. Why is it the lady does not sit down; or when she attempts to why is it she sits so near the front edge of the chair.” “Oh hush my child—the lacy wears a patent adjustable, double back action, duplex elec tric new l’angled bustle.” Next. Mr. J. M. McNeil, a promising aud popular young merchant of Apalachicola, Fla., spent last week in our city. Jack thinks Bainbridge (especially the North-east corner) is a great place. In our next personal of him we ex pect to mix ‘hymeniah’ John S. Jones A Bro., of Camilla, are rat tling go-a-head merchants. We notice in the Clarion, the new paper recently started in that burg, this firm has a double column ad vertisement, being over twice the amount of any other firm in tbe place. Yim, endrgy, stocks of goods and printers ink will “tell” iu any business. “\\bo is Albert Winter?” We have been asked this question frequently. We will now answer it. A. Winter is a man of progress ; he is a sight when you got him started ; he is the neplus ultra of developers; he is the right sort of a man to have about tbe house; lie is a big-hearted, rip-staving “boomer.” That’s where we struck it right. He’# a boomer. Do you want to go to the Senate; do you want to be representative ; do you want to be sheriff, tax collector, tax assessor, county treasurer, clerk, of any other office in the gift of tlio people ? Say; do you ? If so put your announcements in The Democrat at ouec. There’s nothing like being iu time; and,.office seeker, don’t you forget it. Jonas Loeb is in New York buying the dad- smasliedtst biggest stock of goods ever brought to tbe city of Bai ibridge. There is no dodging this question. It is so— a fact without fear ol successful contradiction. Jouas is a live man, a live merchant, and cue of the best fellows to deal with the world over saw. Do ye lieah ? Your Uncle John Sharon is smiling. He is in a good humor. Tbe old gentleman has waked up with about a hundred pound pres sure of progress about the fifth rib. He is going to transmogrify bis old hotel into a new one. The contract is let out, and we are to have one of the best hotels in Sonth Geor gia. Hurrah for Progress! Hurrah for Stephens 1 Hurrah for hooray! Hurrah for Sharon and the Hotel tie Sharon. Bainbridge is on a boom—a big-boom, and don’t forget to remember it. Tbe easiest thing in the world is for the Chief Engineer to get the Bainbridge Fire Department out on parade. About twice a month tbe companies parade the streets in full uniform, aud a splendid sight it is. Oak City always has her ranks full, and Stonewall has to put guards around the engine to keep the enthusiastic firemen and citizens from carrying it away for relics. Besides the ranks of the companies are so full that scores l.ave to be turned off at each regular meeting. Ah, tbe Fire Department is one live thing at least we have in the town. The Chief Engi neer, the Mayor*and the common council mey well point to it with a pardonable pride. If there is a man on earth we like to see around it is Colonel Whittle D. Field. The Colonel is now engaged in the honorable and manly calling of navigating the Fast Mail Bob Tail Hoss Line between Bainbridge and Camilla. This is understood to be a Star route, bnt the Colonel, tbe Count De Whittle Doctor Field, is the chief Star in that con stellation. It is needless for ns to inform our thousands of readers that the Colonel the Count De Ac is a trump. That they well know But he is in the road to fame if not to fortune. Ben Hallidav, the great stage contractor, is nothing compared to our hero. True the great Beniamin may have eclipsed the Colo nel the Count De Ac., in the number of his horses and the appointments of tbe mail ser vice of which he was the contractor; bnt, the Colonel the Count De Ac., has forever laid Mr. Hallidav in the shade in the matter of coahtume. Oar Whittle D. was determined to make his mark in Uncle Sam's service ; he was determined to show a proper appreciation to the Government for the honors heaped upon hia devoted head. He set his mind to working, to studying and to thinking. What shall I do to please the Government ? This was the momentous question ploughing through bis brain day and nigbt. At last the inspiration came. “Get a coshtume,” said the still small voice. And a coshtume the Count De Ac., proceeded to get. Red hat; kaliker coat, red breeches and yaller vest. Now as the Count De Ac., drove in with tbe Fast Mail Bob Tail Hoss Line, the other day, all dressed up in his “show clothes’ as the little boys expressed it, be looked like a coui- fumblication of the star-spangled banner and spread eagle bird o’ freedom. But he carried his point, and Jack Bruton, immediately sent a grape vine dispatch to Washington to have him promoted without delay. The Colone the Count De Whittle Doctorfield is a brick, and don’t yon forget it. Do you profit by what yon read ? If you do yon will make up your mind to go at once to The Flint River Store and bny your goods. No orders for ice will be’filled. Always send (TIDE DtWN-Or SET. TOPSY TUKVY! Everything wrong-sicle-out, anil mixed beyond description! The cause of this great confusion is, we are turning the inside out of onr store aud putting; it in new. The master carpenter Pailrick sai’s : ‘‘Move this pile of goods, as I can’t work without more roomwhile master mason Russell says: ‘‘Have these goods taken away from there, or my men will throw mortan on them.” Then the painter says : “Take them goods away from there, or I will daub paint on them,” J.ud so it goes all day long, until we are all in snea A GRE AT CGNFHStOM ! That we can hardlv find anything we want, and we arc tired of it, ilN D IT MUST STOP' ? Now the only wav to do it is to dispose of the goods. To do that in the SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME.
