was bo'-n and raised in ibis county.
He is well and favorably known, and

unhesitatingly commits his claims to
the democracy of the county, and will

Will Vote for Gordon.
We are permitted to make the fol
lowing extract from a private letter
Irom Mr. J. M. Parker to a friend in
Thomasville, which will settle the
question os to his vote for senator:
“If elected to the legislature, and
have an opportunity of doing so, l
shall vote for .John B. Gordon for U.
S. Senator.
J. M. Parker.”
Atul in doing so, Mr Parker will
voice the sentiments of a large major
ity of the voters of Thomas county.
As Mr. Ivey is pledged to vote for
Gordon, he is sure of three votes from
Thomas. It is superfluous to ndd that
Bob Mitchall is for Gordon.
It’s a Whopper.

er living in the forks of the Ochloeko-
nee, lias left at this office a now spe

ton. The specimen before us is four
teen inches long, and ten inches in
circumference. Mr. Dixon made,

supply for every day use, and for
pickling. The seed will he for sale
by the leading druggists here this fall
Secure some of them.

-Did Not Play.
The Jacksonville base ball c'ub
telegraphed Monticcllo that they
would he unable to piny the match
game which had been arranged for
yestorday. Several from here had
espectcd to go down.
Tho mnterial for the erection of Dr.
John Coyle’s new home near Col. Mc
Lendon’s, is being placed on the site.
The Doctor is enthusiastic about his
fhturo suburban home. May he, and
his, pass many hnppy hours there.
Miss Detm Mitchell, has been elect
ed one of the Maids of Honor of the
Hussars. Miss Dena is popular with
the military—as she is with every
body else. Both, tho Hussars and
the young lady, are to be congratu
lated
A midnight thief tried to brenk in
to the sleeping apartments of one of
the Times-Enteiu'risk force, on
Tuesday night He would hardly
have taken the risk had lie known ho
was limiting for plunder iu a printer’s
room. Printers and newspaper peo
ple being rich, keep their wealth in
hank vaults.
The Americus Recorder has this to
say tibout a young man who was for
merly employed in this office.
“Mr. George Sheridan, of New
York, came to Americus some time
ago, and was employed in the Recor
der composing rooms.
He is a son of General Sheridan,
and a most excellent, quiet young
ntnu. For one of his years, his skill
as a pressman can scarcely be equal
ed; and besides being a good printer,
he is a general favorite with all iu the
office.”
We arc pleased to learn that George
Sheridan is winning his way. He
a manly young fellow.
The Cyclone Coming.
Not only in Kentucky and Ala
bama, but throughout the Union do
we fine the democracy in a state of
confident exhilaration. Michigan,
Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota are
expected to astonish the country by
joining Ohio and Iowa in tho demo
cratic column. Look out for a polit
ical cyclone next November.—Louis
ville Times.
Speak Kindly to All.
This sandy spot reminds me of a
fellow’s farm that I saw once down in
Kentucky. It was terribly sandy
and so poor that you couldn’t raise a
disturbance on the place. 1 stopped
there one day and wanted to saysom;-
thing complimentary about the place,
so I said to him, “Colonel, I declare
you have got the finest place l ever
saw to scour knives.’”—New York
Mercury.
This reminds the News and Adver
tiser of the man who was never known
to make an unkind remark about a
fellow creature. Being asked hts
opinion ol a notoriously bad character
who had recently died in the com
munity where he lived, and being un
able to say anything else good of the
fellow, he replied, saying, “Well, he
was the best whistler 1 ever knew.”
The community, however, which pos
sesses a man who cannot be induced
to say ill ofhts fellows, has a curiosity
rarer than any of Barnum’s collection.
—News and Advertiser, Albany.
And this reminds us ol the old wo
man who, whatever might be the short
comings of others, never alluded to
them, but on the contrary, always
managed to say something in their
extenuation. To test this commend
able tratt of the good old woman, some
one abused the devil round y in her
presence.
Well there is one thing can be said
about him,” said the old woman, “lie
always attends to his own business. ’
How sweet that charity which can
overlook me foibles of others, and
how much belter it is to say pleasant
things rather than to be holding up
the faults of others to the public gaze.
FIRE AND* FLAME.
Indiana o.i Fire—A Strange Phe
nomenon.
A dispatch from Indianapolis, Ind.,
yesterday says:
Ten acres of the farm of Thomas
Habon, three miles north of Waldron,
have been destroyed for farming pur
poses. Great holes have been blown
in tho earth. The course of the Flat
Rock creek lias been turned upstream.
Birds, snakes and rabbits are dead,
while fish arc thoroughly cooked in
the heated water. All this was caus
ed by the upheaval of the waters.
No fire wos blazing in the midst of
the ten acres when, without warning,
the earth belched forth its flame.
Great trees were hurled skyward and
tho waters ot Flat Rock creek were
converted to foam. Natural gas
burst forth and the scene was beauti
ful. The gas took lire aud blazed
fiercely above the trees and continued
all yesterday and last night. To day
3,000 spectators visited the phenome
non. The fire has been extinguished
but gas is still escaping.
Some assert that other agencies
than gns are the cause of the phenom
enon, but the general conviction is
that no other agency could have pro
duced the effect on the water. One of
the marvelous effects on the water is
that not a drop of tho Flat Rock flood
has gone below the cave since the up
heaval. Great caverns have taken
the current, and a wild, foaming Ni
agara is created.
A Cyclone Coming this Way.
Havana, Aug. 12.—The observa
tory here annouuced that a cyclone,
whieh was cast aud northeast of Cuba
yesterday, is approaching the United
States coast in the direction of Char,
lestou.
