A pally consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, of Quincy, and Miss Orninud, of Appaiach'cola, passed through the city last night entoute for a summer vacation north. Our si.-ter city, Albany, is going to hnve street cars. The projectors of the enterprise hope to lmvo the cars running somct'mc during the coining' month. While a casual inspection of the C >rn fields betokens an abundant yield, ninny farmers say the appearance is deceptive—that the rnins hnve cans ed excessive growth of the shuck, hut that the kernel is wanting. Mr. J. F. Evans lias been welcomed to the ranks of those whose wives are away for the summer. Messrs. Rut- tolph and Jcrger hnve extended him the right hand of consolation. Tho place of meeting of this class is the sidewalk in Iront of Reid & Culpep per’s r.r Cassels, about S p. m. Cnpt. E. M. Smith, cashier of the Bank of Thomnsville, and 0:10 of. the most efficient hank officials in the state, was in the city a few hours Sunday.

Shuck Whitaker had the misfortune to lose “George.” the handsome black of the SGOO team, that was so familiar on our streets. “George’’ was coal.black and his mate is white. In size and gait the team was as evenly matched as one could wish. C’apt. Whitaker was much at tachcd to the animal, and of course regretted to lose him. Attention Guards.

B L. Hicks left Tuesday night for the Altumnlm river, where he goes to look after his sleam- boat interests. The Thomasville Guards will turn out at 4 o’clock three this aitcrnoon in fatigue uniform for the purpose of having a target practice. They will march out to Mitchell’s old mill and the target will be placed so that the railroad embankment will stop all balls and prevent any danger to parties at a distance from stray bullets. We hope the boys will show themselves good marksmen. Now that the contract for building the Georgia Southern lias been let, Thomasville will begin to take on new lire, and increased activity in real es tate may bo looked for. Now is a better time to buy than will probably occur again for years. All of our real estate agents have tracts now in charge at pi ices that cannot be dupli cated n few months later. If you want to buy a home, or invest for speculation, now is tho time to buy. Clnyt Dickinson, the popular pre scription clerk at lleid & Culpepper’s, whojias been spending some months in the mrili, returned last night Clayl looks ns if he hud fared well at the hands of our northern brethren. Tlie midsummer festival in Atlanta promises to be a big tiling sure enough, and tlie rates on the railroads will he low.enough to make sure of a big crowd, but whew! won’t it he hot. One fare for tlie round trip, will be an inducement, and many will doubtless go from this section. Is Livingston a Candidate for the U. S. Senate? The following is from ihe Southern Alliance Firmtr of Aug. 5th : We have been annoyed a grea. deal recently by qots ioi.s concerning the rumor that Col. Living-ton is a candi date for the United States Senate. We cannot imagine why or how any such repor: ever started. Col. Living ston certainly hud nothing to do with it. He is a cand date ter a seat in congress, and expects to be elected. It is unfa r to hold Col. Livingston re sponsible for rumors which other parlies have s'arted, and which he has had nothing to do, and which he has never given any consideration. We cannot afford to lose sight of the fact that Col. Livingston is a candidate for congress in behalf of the people; and we do not propose to have our friends side-tracked by any such re ports. Til's paper is the organ of the ai- tiance and specially ol Col. Livingston and it will be seen that it nowhere denies that Livingston is a candidate, bu evades that issue entirely and com pletely. General Grant, so it would appear, lmu no settled convictions on the sub ject of religion. Nominally a Metho dist, lie could not be said to belong to any particular denomination. His re lations with Rev. J. I*. Newman, then a Congrcgationalist, he declared were founded solely on personal friendship. Having been interrogated during his illuesson the question of religion,he re plied that he had pot given it any deep study and was unprepared to express an opinion. He intimated that he saw no use in devoting auy special thought to theology at so late a day, and that he was prepared to take his chances with the millions of people who went before him. State Convention To Day- The latest news from Atlanta in re gnrd to the probable result of the con vention which meets to-day, is with out interest, except as to the candi dates for tlie offices of Attorney Gen eral and Commissioner of Agricul ture. Upon counting noses, it seems that Hon. Clifford Anderson has about 25 votes more than his opponent, but it is said that some of the delegates from the mountain comities claim that they are not hound to vote for Anderson, because Isrstcr was not in the race when they were selected. If many of these change to Lester lie may be nominated. Ncsbit and Hunuicutl. combined have more votes than Hendeison, and the question is whether all these votes can he controlled so us to give either to Nesbit or Ilunnicutt. The friends of Hcndcrsou are trying to mnke cap ital of this, but have not succeeded to any extent. Livingston had not arrived at last accounts, hut was expected. It was rumored that an attempt would he made to put in a dark horse, and that possibly W. L. Peek might get it. The session will probably not he longer than to day, anil we hope to hear the result this evening. The Man on the Monument. Baton Rough, La., Aug. 5.—The bronze statue of a Confederate sol dier er ctcd by a Confederate Memor- la 1 Association to the memory of those who went from this parish to serve the cause of the south, was unveiled with appropriate ceremonies this afternoon, it being the anniversary of the battle of Baton Rouge. If you feel any apprehensions of Cramp Colic, dont delay any time, hut taken dose of Lamar’s Diarrhoea Mixture, and repeat if necessary. In the race lor r:presentativc in Clarke county, Mr. YV. J. Norton defeated both of his oppunents and wi ri'injesciH that county in the next legislature. The government of Servia notifies Au-tna that unless the prohibition ot the importation ot pigs is withdrawn, the Servian frontier will be closed altogether against Austrian imports. Clarke county went for Olive fer congress. The race in the eighth is very close now. Olive, Colley and Lawson each have eight votes. It all depends on who gets the other coun ties that have not yet acted. .Snclson does not propose to stand by the result of the nominating con vention i 1 the Senatorial district he wishes to represent. He proposes to run anyway. We hope he will be everlastingly snowed under. He will run as an independent, mid lie ought to lie taught a lesson. We do not believe tho story that a teacher in one of tho Milwaukee schools kissed the big boy whom she had kept in after school to discipline for had behavior. But if she did, whose business is it? Tilings have conic to a pretty pass if a teacher can not administer punishment to a pupil who needs it.—Exchange. It frequently pays to be a vigorous and unblushing "kicker.” The fellow who takes what he gets in silence, and puts up with it whether it suits him or not, will too often he put oil with anything at all; the worst of every thing will be good enough for him; whereas the man of whom it is known that he won’t allow himself to be im posed upon will get the best that’s go ing.—Phil. North American. Be Careful In the Future. In a certain congressional district, one of the county Alliances met and endorsed a candidate for congress who was not a member of our order, hut who made very strong professions of friendship to tho order and to the far mers generally, but lie did not adopt their entire platforms. Nootlier can didate was in tlie field nnd they did not know what issue would he 11u.de. Alter a week or two a strong Alii- anceman, who was unquestionably with the order in its every issue, was put in the field, and that County Al liance, seeing the error of its first cn dorsement, had to meet and undo its work. We hope county and sub Alliances will be careful on this point and let candidates alone, withholding their endorsements until they are fully in formed who will he in tlie field and what issues will he made. Above all things, never give your endorsement to any man who is not wholly and unreservedly on your side, and sup porting eveiy measure you demand, will also support every man whom you endorse. This is true unity, and unless tlie Alliance follows this plan, its efforts to secure tlie legislation which it so much needs, will be all in vain.—Southern Alliance Farmer. The above shows how completely nnd entirely the leaders wisli tlie en tire membership of the alliance iu the state ,to be under their orders. The plain meaning of the above is, “wait for orders from head quarters before you endorse any man.” Can this really he the true condition of affairs? Can not believe it, yet it looks like it. Will bo a Statesman. Minister (to hoy)—“So you have come out to tho Sunday school picnic instead of going to tlie circus?” Boy—“Yes, sir.” “I am proud of you, my little man. One of these days you may lie a great statesman,” “Yes, sir.” ‘Come here, Brother Mooney’ (calling some one) “and talk to ties j little fellow that would rather come out here among the blessed children than go to tlie circus.” Boy—“No, I wouldn’t rather come here, but pa gave me fifty cents to come here ’stead of goin’ to the circus, but you bet your life I’ll take the fifty an’ go to morrer.” This Happened up “North.” Pittsburg, Aug. 4.—All the em ployes of the Carbon Iron Company struck tins afternoon because an at tempt was made to start the puddling department with negroes. The pud- dlers struck a month age for $5 per ton, but the firm refused to grant tlie demand and the men quit work. To day forty-eight negroes were put to work ar.d all the other emyloyes, num bering 500, came out, causing a sus pension of work in the entire mili. Threats of bodily harm are made and lively times are expected before the strike is settled. Here in the south the colored man, among his democratic friends, is given a fair showing* and encouraged to make an hoi.est living. He works right alongside southern mechanics. Mr. Louis II. I’atillo, of the Angus a Chronicle staff, shot and killed Mr. C. P. Hudson, in Augusta, on Satur day. The men met at 11 o'clock at night on the street, and opened fire simultaneously. Paullowas wounded, hut not mortally. Both men stood well in Augusta. Mr. I’atillo has, for several weeks, been reporting tlie re markable canvass in South Carolina for the Chronicle. He had just return ed to Augusta. The affair’s very much deplored by the friends of both parties. Cholera Morbus has no terrors to the family that keep’s Lamar’s Diar rhoea Mixture at hand. The slot machine which has recent ly had sucli a run in all catch-penny schemes was known and used by the Egyptians centuries before,the opening of the Christian era. Hero of Alex- andia, who lived 200 years before the time of Christ, describes one used for the dispensation of holy water. A coin of five drachmte dropped into a slot in a vase opened a valve which permitted a few drops of the purify ing liquid to escape. Surely there is nothing new under the sun. -AND A— Clean Sweep —AT THAT— Will be inaugurat ed at Levy’s! Levy’s! Levy’s!
