Among the gentlemen in the city
yesterday was John Tyson, who for a
number of years held the position of
Matscr of Transportation for the S. F.
& W. II.
The officials are perfecting plans for
a new yard at the depot. The present
freight depot, which is very inconve
nient, is to he torn down, and a new
one erected near the oil mills. Ten
new side tracks will be put in.
Mr. R. G. Mitchell Jr., has de
dined the priucipalship of the Black-

term, which has been offered iiim by
the trustees of the school. The
Blackshear Times says tint the pa
trons of the school very much regret
the action ol Mr. Mitchell.
Just How It Was.
The Times-Entekprisf. of yester
day morning had a paragraph to the
ellect that a draft drawn against the
melon exchange had been refused pay
ment by the Bank of Thomasville,
under orders from Messrs. Hobbs &
Tucker, of Albany, the treasurers of
the exchange. The reason this order
was issued was based on the following
conditions:
Up to the present, the exchange
has been paying the 875 per car for
each one received, and in many in
stances, an advance of 50 per cent, on
this price, or $112.50 per car. This
advance payment was to secure the
growers against the possible loss; that
might come from the failure of th$.ex
change from any cause, to takes mel
ons that would ripen later in the sea
son. It will he understood that tho
exchange has agreed to take all tfcW
crop, paying $75 per car up to July.
1st, $60 per car from July 1st to 15th,
and $50 per car for . the rest of the
season.
It seems that this advance payment
has stimulated shipments, and it is
quite likely that the melons received'
after July 1st will not cover the ad-
vanced payments, at least in some
cases.
It is hard to understand why {$0
exchange should have made this tdl8
operative against men thathad not re-

Passed Away.
On the morning of last Friday,
the 20th insl, Major George Fatten
of Ellenton, who for twenty-one years
has been one of Manatee’s foremost
citizens, passed away peacefully in
the 88th year of his agje.. He was a
a man of great energy and persist
ence of purpose and greatly aided by
these characteristics any enterprise
which received his approval, whether
public or private. Having for many
years prior to his settlement on the
Manatee been engaged extensively
as a cotton and commission merchant
in S^vannabj Ga.,' he brought with
him valuable business methods, which
he also devoted to the interests of this
section.
The whole county will feel his loss,
as being of one who has for years
been looked upon as one of our rep
resentative men.—Manatee River
Journal.
Maj. Patten was the father of Hon.
rtfuir Patten of this city; and was

Would Be Glad To Come.
Some days ago several gentlemen
of this city telegraphed to Cols
Northcn and Hardeman, inviting
them to speak in our city or, July 4th.
Nothing has been heard from either
of the gentlemen, in response to the
telegrams.
Mr. A. R. Jones received a private
letter from Col. Northen yesterday,
in which lie says :
“As you doubtless know by this
time, Col. Hardeman hns accepted
my proposition for a joint debate over
the State, and that will prevent my
accepting your invitation ; but in the
event that your county is chosen as
one of the points for a discussion, I
would only he too glad to meet your
people and address them on the pub
lic questions of the day.”
The list of appointments, ns pub
lished in the Savannah News, of yes
terday, gives an appointment for a
joint discussion between the two dis
tinguished gentlemen in Fayette coun
ty, on July 4th, which will of course
preclude their being here. It is
hoped, however, that an appointment
can be arranged for a joint discussion
in our city, pending the campaign.
Our people would accord them a pa
tient and cheerful hearing.

No Conference Necessary.
The Griffin News is skilfully and
industriously grooming Editor Brown
of the Southern Alliance Farmer, for
the United States Senate to succeed
your Uncle Joseph. Editor Glessner
will probably call a conference in At-
lanta at an early day to carry out his
designs on Col. llrown.—Columbus
Enquirer-Sun.
\Ve do not believe a conference will
be necessary in this case. As soon as
we can get Col. Brown to consent
to announce himself, the thing may b.'
regarded as fixed. We shall then
write an open letter to Governor Gor
don requesting him to withdraw, and
showing so irresistably the superior
claims of our candidate that he cannot
refuse to accede to this slight request.
—Griffin News. I
Cannot Editor Glessner inform
anxious public about how long it will
be before he can obtain Col. Brown’s
consent to this arrangement ? It is
due the people that they be not kept
in suspense, and Editor Glessner
should bring hi? important scheme to
a head as quickly as possible.—Col

The State Road Lease.
The bids for the lease of the State
road were opened in Atlanta yester
day. Two bids were submitted, one
oy the L. & N., the other by the Rich

amount, $35,000, the minimum un
der the lease act. The Richmond

any other of like amount was offered,
it was not to he considered. So the

first time, can run into Georgia over
