Albany News and Advertiser: Mrs. B. R
Bower, and Mrs. Robert Lytle, of Bainbridge,
are at the Barnes House. They are visiting
Albany to drink artesian water. We welcome
them most cordially.
Mr. R. F. Cloud, who lives near Hutchison’s

The entertainment and hop given at the
elegant and hospitable home of Mr. William

Wo beg to suggest to our Artesian well
committee that if they intend to commence
operation on our well that they do so without
farther delay; aiul that if their present Con’
tractor cannot bo brought to “taw” that an
other man be obtained iu his stead. This
delay is getting monotonous, distressingly
so.
TbomasviU’s artesian well, (so we learn
from a gentleman who spent last Monday
in that city,) fills up with quick sand at
night about as much as much as is taken
out d tiring the day. This to be regretted
for so plucky a people deserve better success
and we hope this difficulty may yet be
mastered.
The report published last week, (upon

artesian well is spouting, proves untrue, so
wo learn from the Clarion. “How this world

Lawyers Hobbs and Jones, of the Albany

the Municipal tax case of the city of Albany,
vs the S. F. & W. R. R. Co., before his Honor
Judge Bower. The city of Albany, it appears,
is seeking to levy a tax upon tbe property of
this corporation, situated in its limits. The
decissioti is not yet made up, Judge Bower
desiring to examine all the authorities bearing
on the subject. It will be looked for with in
terest—as there are other Municipal Govern
ments wanting some of this corporation s
! wealth on the same grounds. The case will
: probably go to the Supreme Court before it
is finally determined, iu any event.
We learn from a gentleman who came down

Homicide in Baker County.
Two negroes, full of mean whiskey engaged
in a dinnken broil at Conch’s Mill, in Baker

killed was named Anthony George and the
murderer Arthur McMtllen. The murderer
skipped out and was still at large at last
accounts.

River freight rates are such now that
Western freights may be laid down at Bain-
bridge for about 60 cents per hundred. In
deed Groceries of all kinds and all classes of
heavy goods can be had from the West lower
than within the memory of the oldest in
habitant. Remember this when you go to
market your cotton crops and remember that
Bainbridge can afford to pay you more for
your cotton than any town in Southern or
Southwest Georgia or Middle Florida. Whilst
you are remembering things don’t forget that
E. A. Pohlman is in the Dry Goods as well as
the Grocery market, and will sell you goods so
close that you will go homo happy, and make
the entire family so also by telling of your
good luck in calling on him; and feel better
yourself for having gotten tbe top price for
yonr cotton by bringing it to Bainbridge.
Now try it.
Salt for Weevil*.
Weevils have destroyed thousands of bushels
of corn in this county during this Summer
and all for a lack of intelligent treatment of
the grain at harvest time. Mr. John M.
Ingram, one of our most auccesssful corn rais
ers and farmers treats his corn thus every
year as he gathers it, and it is usually entirely
free from weevils. He procceeds thus: Each
wagon loat of corn is equally distributed over
the crib and a smart sprinkling of salt is
scattered equally over the heap. The next
load is similarly treated, and about every third
layer of corn is also treated a to liberal supply
of china berry leaves. The shuck is left on the
corn, and whilst his neighbors’ corn is eaten
up by weevils his is totally free of them.
Corn thus treated may be kept several years.
Our farming friends should bear this in mind
when they gather their corn crops this year.
NOTICE.
Mr. EditorPlease give notice to the
farmers aud people generally that I have
just received a car load of old reliable im
proved Tennessee | and Studebaker wagons—
and I am prepared to sell*them cheaper than
ever. Mr. W. M. Smith o* Thomasville and
myself have bought this season for .South
Georgia and Florida thirty car loads of these
wagons—three car loads of which are billed
for Bainbridge. By making this immense
purchase we are enabled to give our patrons
extraordinary inducements iu prices. After
a long experience in the wagon trade we
have selected the Tennessee and Studebaker,
knowing them to be tbo best wagon made-
Every wagon fully guaranteed. Every one
in noed of a wagon should not fail to exam
ine my stock and get prices before purchas
ing.
Yours Truly,
W. W. Wbight.
THE COTl’OS MARKET,
As was expected, opened “weak” this
season, and bids fair to remain so for some
time to come. This is always tbe case until
the crop gets our of the bauds of the pro
ducers. Bainbridge, however, is paying as
good if not better prices thus far in the
season than any Southwest Georgia market
we know of. We quote yesterdays prices as
follows—cash :
Good Middling . 9
Low Middling 8%
Middling 8%
Good Ordinary 7%
Ordinary I
Farmers seem in no special hurry to mar
ket at these prices, but our judgement is
that the soonerit is picked ginned and market
ed the more satisfactory will be the results—
unless the producer is able to hoid it indefin
itely.
Bainbridge as a C'often and
Wholesale Market.
We were pleased to meet and greet Mr-
Thomas R. Davis—a prominent planter au.l
citizen of Mitchell county, on our streets on
Monday last. Mr. D. brought cotton to our
market and bought a liberal bill of home sup
plies—a fact which shows that Bainbridge as
a market to sell and buy is ahead -f any p’.h-r
South or Sorthweat Georgia town. This fact
is bound to be one which will draw trade, too,
from a radius of country fifty miles in every
direction, Our Western connections both by
Rail and Steamers make Baiubridge Mistress
of the situation, both as buyer and seller. We
can now ship our products to New Orleans,
Mobile, Pensacola or tbe great West at a rate
of freight heretofore unknown to us and at a
rate which cannot be approximated by other
Georgia towns, by reason of the facilities
alluded to by both water and railroad com
munication. With such next door neighbors
as New Orleans, Mobile and Pensacola as
markets, on the one side,-and Savannah on tbe
other—the one pulling against the other for
our business—makes 3aiubridgc's market all
we have claimed for it. Again we advise our
readers in Miller, Early, Baker, Mitchell aud
Thomas counties, aud of Middle Florida, to
bear this in mind when marketing their pro
ducts or buying in their winter supplies.
As a class, tbe business men of Baiubridge
are not to be excelled by those of any city in
the South, of like size, for sagacity and finan
cial soundness; aDd their large and constantly
increasing business attest the truth of these
and many other similar claims we might make
for them. There are no less than half a dozen
of them who arc regularly engaged in the job
bing trade—carrying, constantly, stocks equal
to any demand they may have made upon i
them. There are scores aud scores of country
and village stores stocked season after season
from the Wholesale bouses of Bainbridge, and
at prices so close to Savannah’s Wholesale
prices, that buyers deem a trip to foreign
markets a useless expense, au J buy here.
These stores are scattered all over Bain-
bridge’s legitimate territory—a territory too,
which she is determined to cover aud supply.
In proof of these facts there is not a vacant
business house in the eity, nor a disengaged
residence, and there is a demand for more of
each. Two small stores 20x50 feet are being
erected, now, on the corner of Broad and
Water streets, and will be occupied as soon as
finished. Another cotton Warehouse is aho
going up on the corner of Water and Ceme-
ters streets, and it is poss ible that a two-
story 40x75 foot wooden building will also
be built near the square during the Fall—the
first floor to contain two elegant stores and
the second story to be arranged for a Public
Amusement Hall—with dressing rooms,
tage, wings, etc. With these advantages
there is no loDger any doubt of the constant
and steady growth of Bainbridge, in the
future. With the surrounding agricultural
country—excelled as such nowhere in the
world; with a climate healthy and salubrious;
with a timber and naval store supply
unequalled on the Globe, both in extent and
quality; with a population constantly in
creasing, and filled with energy and enter
prise ; and with an anDual increase of taxable
property approximating a half million of
dollars, there is nothing that can estop our
growth or hinder our progress. Tne growth of
this entire section within the pass five years
has been’phenomenal, as appears more readi
ly to one who has not witnessed it, as it oc
curred ; and there is no place in the entire-
section whose natural advantages will bear
comparison with those of Bainbridge.
Hence, we say, our growth and development
is assured—as certaiuly as time lasts aud the
country developes. Nothing can prevent i;.

A Birlh-day Celebration
The celebration of little Edith Russell’s
birth-day at the hospitable home of her
parents on Thursday night last was a most
delightful occasion to the little folks—as also
to those older persons who attended. The
brilliantly illuminated house and grounds
afforded ample accommodations for the fifty
little guests of little Edith, and she with her
accomplished mother was tireless in her
efforts to amuse and entertain them all.
An elegant repast of refreshments was
spread in the dining hall at 9 o’clock and the
little fellows each with a partner marched
out to supper in true Chesterfieloian style.
Fifty bright innocent little faces -unattend
ed and unawed by parental authority-ranged
around a board ladened with viands such as
delight the eyes aud appetites of children,
made a picture which seen can ne’er be for
gotten. They each and all deported them
selves with rare decorum and enjoyed them
selves as well as we ever saw a crowd of little
ones. The guests upon retiring wished lit
tle Edith many happy returns of the occa
sion.
The Jeffersonians,
The Directors of tbe Jeffersonian Literary
Society met inrespose to tbe call of the Presi
dent at their Rooms in Johnson’s building on
Tuesday evening last and took to itself a new
lease of life. Eight Directors were present
and in the absence of tbe President, Miss
Subers—-Vice-President, presided. A com
mittee was appointed to arrange for
Dramatic Entertainment-, to take place on
Thursdav evening, the 13th of September,
proximo, and they entered at once upon their
duties. Something of new interest may be
expected to result from their efforts and an
interesting entertainment may be expected.
Many of the old members of the Society have
resigned since the opening of summer, but we
earnestly hope, and the Society at large ear
nestly solicit their return aud future co-oper
ation". The Jefi'ersou Society has done much
good, and been tne source to the public of
much pleasurable entertainment in the past,
and it bids fair to do better in both respects
during tbe coming Fall and Winter than ever
before. Let every citizen who feels an inter
est in the literary advancement of his children
and his community assist in making the So
ciety the pride and boast of the community.
