Butts, after spending some time in North Georgia, returned to her home iu this city last Friday. Mr. J. R. Graves, after a pleasant sojourn at the watering places of North Georgia, is again at his place at the Telegraph key. Artist Turtou has folded his Tent and left and Bainbridge is again without a “picture man.” Oh, Thompson, come back, won’t you? Messrs. Abo Smith and Haley Nusbatim have returned from N ew York looking well and happy. They report trade briskin the North ern markets and everything else lovely in proportion. Fensacola has several cases of yellow fever in quarantine six miles from the city near the Navy Yard. Baiubridge should keep on the ijui vine. That liandsomo yonug grocer, E. G. Wil liams, Esq., sent the printeis a fine water melon last Saturday. Thanks, Edward. It is nice to be remembered in this way. A base ball club came over from Wliigham last Monday and played the fbvfciiile club of this city a match game. "The score was 15 to 37 iu lavor of Whigham. The river water is getting so cold that the average small boy caunot “go iu washing.” The a. s. b. will hold off for repairs until next spring. Mr. Mark W. Bates now beams on bis nu merous friends over the counters of E. A. i’ohlmaii; where he will be pleased to see each and all of them call when they are in the city. Hon. E. C. Bower, of Blakely spent several days in the city this week en route homo with his family from the Louisville Exposition and the Mammoth Cave. School patrons will please noto the announcements of Prof. Smallwood and of Mrs. Hahn concerning the opening of their respective schools on the 27th inst. in this issue. A new wooden warehouse is being erected on the north west corner of the block upon which Mrs. Belcher's residence is located—op posite Randal! Kinney’s black smith shop—by G. U. Powell. 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 Landing in this county has made corn enough this year to do him three years, be sides about four bales of cotton. His plow annual was an ox and he employed no help. The entertainment and hop given at the elegant and hospitable home of Mr. William Dickenson, at Faceville, ou Thursday evening last is pronounced uy those who attended to have been the most enjoyable aflair of the season. 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 authority ef a youug man who claimed to have drank water from it) that Camilla’s artesian well is spouting, proves untrue, so wo learn from the Clarion. “How this world is given to lying Hal 1” It has, however, reached a depth of over 600 feet. The Pensacola and Atlantic Railroad an nounces rates for round trip tickets which should turn a tide of travel over its line in the direction of the Louisville Exposition. For twenty-one dollars and fifty cents the traveler can go from River Junation to Louisville and return, having the privilege of stopping over ou the route and visiting the Mammoth Cave. Lawyers Hobbs and Jones, of the Albany Bar, were iu the city on Friday last to argue 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 week on board Homicide in Baker County. Two negroes, full of mean whiskey engaged in a dinnken broil at Conch’s Mill, in Baker couaty, one day last week and one brained the other with a piece of scantling. The man killed was named Anthony George and the murderer Arthur McMtllen. The murderer skipped out and was still at large at last accounts. Hirer Freifill is. 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;. Tile Watermelon Deal.

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. -THE* A. B. C.
