They are j aware of the fact that it is a Thomas county affair, and are taking a big i interest in it. One old veteran told ! me that he was coming and would ! bring his entire family, and said he j would bring a basket and also send a quarter of beef. He said: ‘1 want you to have John B. Gordon there I , want to see his noble face once more before I die. I want to see him walk i The state board ol health bill was killed in the house on Tuesday. Here’s statesmanship for you.

C Bird, of Florida, to be Arrested -The Legislature Nearing the End—Botter ments Gossip. Chicago, Oct. 22.—A complete across the fair grounds with Col Bill 1 jury was secured in the Cronin case Dick on one side and Bob Mitchell on late this afternoon. Seven weeks Harrison is busy writing his mes sage. He will, of course, take a whack at the south. The council of Savannah have de cided to replace all dead and decaying trees in February. Three hundred will be set out. We beg to renew our tree planting proposition of former years. Plant trees along the residence streets of the town. The cost will be slight, and they will do much to adorn and beuti fy the place. This is the season of the year when trees should be planted out. The General Assembly should pass some law compelling the attendance ol members during the session. Sat urday business was again blocked for want of a quorom, but the faithful representatives will draw their per diem all the same.—Enquirer-Sun, Columbus. Our Columbus contemporary voices the sentiments of the people of Geor gia, in demanding some law which will compel representatives to stay in their seats. Four hundred men belonging to the bricklayers’ union of New York were recently compelled by walking dele gates to strike because their employers used cement manufactured by a firm having in its hire four hundred colored teamsters who were non-union men. If the 400 men submit to such arbitra ry instruction, then is labor crushed indeed, and seemingly beyond all help. Ex. Noble Says Tanner Lied. The appointees of the administra tion do not have much regard for each Other’s veracity. Secretary Noble, in rescinding Tanner's order advancing pensions from $2 to $4 per month, quotes from Tanner’s letter to Dalzell, in which the writer says the rerating was made with a view to dropping from the rolls all men who should not be advanced, and that he ordered them for examination before their home board. On this Noule says: “1 he order os made was absolutely unqualified, and required an advance without ex amination. It did not propose to drop any one, as the letter pretended. It did not order anyone for examination, as the letter pretended it did.” Here is a square case in which the secretary charges the ex-commisstoner with lying.—Ex. Cotton and Poetry “Cotton and poetry,” says the St. Louis Republic, ‘‘are not supposed to go hand-in-hand down the aisles of fame, but occasionally fact and fancy must come together, and it is pleasant to see them harmonize gracefully. A case in instance developed in St. Louis cotton circles yesterday. A well known firm of factors received, with a consignment of cotton, from the poetic shipper, a letter of advice, containing the following pathetic re quest: Ouc by one tlic bnlesuro coming, Faster still the dollars fall Few are coming, many going, Do your liest to grasp them all. After surveying the market with a view to disposing ol the cultured cus tomer’s consignment to the best ail- vantage, the result was mailed back by the sympathetic head of the house as follows: II was bigber, but ibe buyer Said that prices must come down; Sad to say, be bad his way. And there's mourning in the town. When we sold him, then we told him Of the losses being great; But oi expected, he rejected Every hale that was not straight. the other.” That old soldier looked worn and gray, like the old uniform he cast away some twenty years ago; but his eye flashed like glittering steel as he talked. I had a man to tell me, in a joking way, that he didn’t want the merchants of Thomasville to advance the price of crackers on the 15th of November, for he expected the crowd would have to buy them all up for dinner. Now, business men of Thomasville, the committee wants more money. They need it and must have it. We are going to have the largest crowd you ever saw in Thomasville, and we do not wish to hear, above the rumbling of wheels, the cracking of whips and the music of bands, the cry of "more grub.” The committee cannot supply loaves and fishes” for the multitudes without money. They need money for provisions. They need it to put the grounds iifbrder, to pay for help, to dig wells, to build stock pens, to build tables, to pay premiums, to fur nish carriages for our distinguished guests, and seats for the ladies; and we must have a good band to lurntsh music for the old veterans. They went to the battle fields to fight for home and country with music. They cannot worship in their churches with out music, and we want to furnish them good music when they gather here on the 15th of November, with our noble and gallant J. B. Gordon, R. G. Mitchell and others, to fight their battles over. Remember Bill Arp says that “nothing thrives on an empty stomach.” We cannot make a gqod impression on the crowd unless we feed them well. Just think of it.' one oi the best and richest business blocks in town only gave $40. Some ol the merchants only gave 50 cents, who should have given 810. I heard one of the committee say that one of the largest dry goods houses in the city only gave 85, and another wealthy merchant only gave one barrel of flour. One of the largest groceries in town has not given anything. Now, I think the committee should give them a chance to reconsider. But not so with all of them. We have two livery men who responded liberally, and a banker whose liberality we are proud of. Oth ers have done their duty also. I be lieve when the committee goes around again they will meet with more en couragement. Why, they ought to get up money enough to spare to build the railroad, when we get through with the barbecue. Mr. Editor, the people need stirring up; let's talk about it more in the paper. Yours, B. Gas Under Lake Michigan. Chicago, Oct. 22.—A vein of nat ural gas was opened up yesterday by workmen eugaged in sinking a shaft at an intermediate caisson of the new city water tunnel, about two miles out m the lake. The gas was ignited by lamps on the workmen’s hats. There were five at work in the shaft, and all of them were more or less seriously burned. The injured workmen were fir ally rescued and sent ashore in a tug boat and taken home in carriages. The faces of two were burned so badly that the skin peeled off, and the other three lost their hair and were badly scorched. Talmages’ Movement?. Brooklyn, Oct. 22.—Dr. Talmage starts for Europe, as originally planned, on Oct. 30, and will go directly to the Holy Laid. The trustees of the tab ernacle have decided to sell the old site, and a plot of ground at Clinton and Green avenue has been purchased for the new structure, and dirt will be broken on next Monday. Among the many things to be thank ful for, including good crops, good health, and a prospect lor an early adjournment of the legislature, we would not forget to mention the fact that the base ball season is over. have been consumed in securing the jury. Ni;w Havkn, Conn., Oct. 22—Ty phoid fever symptoms among the Yale students are causing increased uneasi ness. To day several men who show ed syptoms of typhoid in a mild form, and several suffering from typhoid malaria, were sent to their homes to recuperate. Fremont, O., Oct., 22—The village of Woodville, in this county, is a ter ribly ravaged; place nearly one third of the Soo people in the town are the victims of typhoid fever and diptheria. Last week there were ten deaths from typho.d fever, and nearly that number from diptheria. Washington, D. C., Oct. 22.— Representative Samuel J. Randall’s health has not improved as much as it was hoped it might since he came here. His condition still gives concern to his friends. It may become necessary for him to go south, instead of going into the house ol repsentatives again. Knoxville, Tenn., Oct., 22—The trades display began here to-day, cele brating the completion of the Knox ville, Cumberland Gap, and Louisville railroad, and was more of a success than was anticipated. Trains on all the roads were crowded, and when the procession moved off it was wit nessed by at least 50,000 spectators. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 22.—The jute bagging factory of the South Mills Bagging Company, on ninth street, between Perry and Marion, was dam aged by fire to the extent of about $50,000. About 350 hands, chiefly women and girls, are thrown oiit of employment. The factoiy belonged to the Jute trust and was running full- handed. Rai’.eigii, N. C., Oct. 22.—The eleventh annual fair of the North Citroliua Colored Industrial Associa tion begun here to day. Thcte was a good attendance of colored people from all parts of the slate. Gov. I’owlo will formally open the fair to morrow. The exhibit is very credita ble, especially in the agricultural and fancy work departments. Pensacola, Fla., Oct. 22.—A telegram received in this city last night was from United States Marshal to Deputy Marshal Saunders directing the arrest immediately of ex-United States Marshal W. C. Bird. It is understood that Mr. Bird is alleged to be short in his accounts with the government. Mr. Bird was not here when the arrest was ordered. He is a resident of Jefl’ersou county, a rela tive of United States Senator Call, nuil was an appointee of the Cleve land administration. He has always been regarded as a mnn of the strict est integrity, llis arrest, so far as known, lias not been effected, and his whereabouts are unknown to the of ficers of the government here. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 22.—In the House business is nearing completion. The last calender was printed to-day, shows only fifty-five bills left for action, nine being from the House and forty-six from the Senate. If there is any reliance to be placed in legislative gossip, a prominent senator will bring in a resolution to morrow calculated to stir up the betterment question. The rumor about the resolution to-night says it will unfold a plan of arbitration with the lessees over their claim for bet terments. The resolution will sug gest as arbitrators the three justices of tiie supreme court, three ex-gov ernors, and Maj. Campbell Wallace, chairman of the railroad commission. The Longest Telephone. London, Oct. 21—What is un doubtedly the longest telephone cir cuit on the continent, was opened to the public yesterday, from Vienna, in Austria, to Leipsig. Every word could be perfectly understood, and the voice recognized without difficulty. The actual distance is nearly 350 miles. There was just a quorum present this morning. The roll had to be called on each bill to get enough votes to pass it. The roll call for ayes and nays showed that there were just eighty-eight members present, and the speaker making eighty-nine. --Atlanta Journal. Miss Winnie Davis, daughter ot Jefferson Davis, left New Orleans yesterday for New York, whence she takes a steamer for Europe as the guest of Mrs. Pulitzer. Miss Winnie has been in Imd health of late, and the journey, it is hoped, will restore her. Men are beginning to strike for their “rights, - ’ as well as the women. A few days ago the ease of an Illinois man suing a widow for breach of promise of marriage was reported: and now we liaye it that a Chicago court has lined a pretty young girl 85 and costs for kissing a middle-aged man ns he walked along a street of that city.—Atlanta Journal. Cold Weather North and West. The News of yesterday, says: “The cold wave is still on in the north and east, and is now central over the great lakes, and is passing eastward. It will: ot affect the southern states at all, the signal observer, says: It is going rapidly eastward, being forced in that direction by a low area coming in from the western states. This lower area is causing the tem perature in the north-west to rise. The cold wave is affecting all parts of the country north of Virginia. The temperature is below the freezing point nt a number of stations from which reports were received last night. The storm’s influences arc being felt as far north as Canada. At St. Vin cent, Minn., the temperature lias fallen to 8°, whiih is the lowest re corded this season. At many of the other stations the temperature fell to 10° and 20°. The cold weather will not last longer than twenty-four hours in the northern states. The weather has been generally fair all over the country for the last few days, and no rainfalls reported any where, except slight rains in the ex treme west.” A Jewish Charity. From the Chicago Herald. The Jews of New York propose to erect a mission building to cost $200,- 000, and a fair is to be held in aid of the project. It is said that 25,000 Hebrew immigrants arrive in New York every year, of whom 20,000 re main in the city. There arc now about 100,000 of them in the down-town districts, the condition of a large por tion of whom it is the duty of their more fortunate and enlightened breth ren to better. In the new building will be established a kindergarten, in dustrial classes, free lectures, libraries, and instruction in various departments. Capt. Frank J. Johnson, president of the Macon and Birmingham rail road, has a curiosity in his possession which he would not part with for any reasonable amonnt of money. It is in the shape ot an account book used by the firm of Polk & Bro., of Clinton, Ga., in the year ig2o-2i, nearly seventy years ago, and which, though yellow with age, is in good condition, the figures and names be ing perfectly legible. The book tells an interesting tale, if one goes over its pages with care. Accounts with such men as Benjamin Traft, one of the best known residents in that section at the time, and a power among the legal lights, adorn the pages, together with the names of Mrs. Francis Gibson, Mrs. Slater, Maj A. W. Gibson, Samuel Griswell, Peter Clower and others, all equally well known. Calico in those days was a luxury, and every yard that went out ot the Polk establishment brought them just 50 cents a yard. Homespun sold for 25 cents a yard, jute bagging 62J, bandana handkerchiefs, $1.25 each, loaf sugar 33J cents per pound, com raon sugar 20 cents and nails 15 cents, But other articles sold tor less thdn they do now, Cigars, good ones at that, so any old timer will tel! you,were sold for 25 cents a dozen. Gin brought 31} cents a quart, particular attention being paid to keep account of the fractions of a cent. Capt. Johnson values his book high, and will keep it in his family as a relic. —Telegraph. 2,000 Bushels Texas Rust Proof Seed Oats. 1,000 Bushels Thomas County Rust Proof Seed Oats. 4,000 Bushels Seed Oats. 600 Bushels Damaged Meal, for Stock Feed.

Hicks was not as prosperous ns he lias been in late years, says the Minne apolis Tribune, he owed n little bill of S24 to a well known firm, and one of the members came to see him about it. The judge, then a plain colonel lately returned from the war, frankly confessed that he was “busted” and asked for nn extension ot time. “Can’t do it,” said the gentleman. “If you don’t pay it we’ll have to sue you.” “How can I pay when I haven’t got the money?” asked the colonel. “All I want is a little time.” “Well, we’ll have to bring suit,” said the gentleman, ns he started off. “Hold on,” said the colonel, as a bright idea struck him. “If you must sue me, why not give me the case? You will have to employ some lawyer.” “That’s so,” said the gentleman; “all right, bring the suit.” Colonel Hicks brought the suit, confessed judgment, sent in his bill for 850 attorney’s fees, collected it, then settled the judgment. From that time on he had all the firm’s law business. SEED-:-0ATS. TO-DAY’S AHRIVA S N. O.
