Received LOHNSTEIN’S 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- shenr Academy for the approaching 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- SKIRTS, GOWNS, CHEMISES Etc. No 5, the morning train train from Savannah was five hours late yester day on account of the wreck of freight No 32, made up of watermelon cars, at ■ Valdosta. It is understood thftt very little damage was done, mid no one wanhurt.Jiut the accident delayed all the other trains. ' why the-rule was not to cover onl; advance money. In the ltght of tin present easy to see that it was a misti make these advance payments, motive was undoubtedly good, but the first place it was discounting reliability of the exchange, by the change itself, and in the second place It has bad the effect of hurryiug sh 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 at "One 'tline a citizen ofthis county, and has many friends here.

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.

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 ?
