A representative of the contractors of tho Georgia Southern & Florida, was in the city yesterday making ar rangements to commence work on this end of tho road.

Admitted to the Bar. Yesterday morning in open court, Judge Hansoll presiding, Mr. Theo dore Titus, who has been studying law with Mr. T. N. Hopkins, was ad mitted to the bar.

Mr. Titus slat ts out under bright and flattering auspices, aud we trust that success awaits bint in bis chosen profession.

It is tho road to success, ip-d chotild be followed assiduously by overy young lawyer. How it Works. IVe have, for years, tried to con vince the merchants and business men ef Thomasyiile, that they should tako stops to compress cotton hero. The following from the Vuldosta Times shows the effect of a compress in Val dosta : ‘•lu last week’s issue of the Times we spoke ol free compressagc (or Val dosta, recent developments give us mors than that. We are allowed 50 cents for comprcssage; 25 cents dray- age and 15 cents storage j making n tnl of 90 oents per bale saved to the planter who sells his cotton to Valdos ta merchants- In addition to this we have the proraiso of lower rates oa cotton, which will give our town an advantage of more than a dollar a bale over competitors,” Comment is worse than useless. Somebody's Fault. A subscriber to tho Weekly Times- Exteui'KIsk, at Metcalfe, was iu the office a week or two ago, on Wain vrfay, and saw the postmaster receive the bundle containing the issue of tho week previous. The wepHy paper should always reach Metcalfe on Saturday, as it is, invariably, "put in the office hero ou Friday afternoon. Where is the fault? It ought uot to tako four days for mail tit go from l^ere to Metcalfe, a distance of twelve miles, and uo intermediate office. Will the proper authorities please look into the matter ? George Forbes.

If you wish any thing in the furniture line,give Geoflj? Forbes a call bcfo.ro fatfiug. Twenty drummers were registered at the Stuart last night. They will ' spend Sunday here. Norwoods Letter. Mr. Norwood has written au open letter assailing Governor Gordon. He rehashestho old chaiges against Gordon, made four years ago, charg ing him with incompetency, and with selling out when he quit the Senate. The people of Georgia has passed on this case; and they found for tho de fendant. In the memorable Bacon— Gordon campaign, these charges were used for all they were worth, and Gordon carried one hundred out of one hundred and thirty-eight counties; carried them after a canvas of thirty days, when Major Bacon had been industriously laying his plans for a year. Tho voice of the people was hoard, and it sounded a complete vindication of General Gordon. Mr. Norwood docs not say whether he will be a candidate or not, but contents himself with ridiculing General Gor don. Mr. Norwood has made a mis take ; these old charges will not injure General Gordon any more than they did four years ago. Crisp caught Fatty ltecd “fudging,” yesterday. Reed counted the house, and said there was n quorum; Crisp denied the statement. Upon a count by tellers, Reed wns convicted of re porting a quorum, when no quorum was present. But it doesn’t hurt Reed to be caught in this way. Hon orable dealing is a stranger to him. The bitter letter of Mr. Norwood, assailing John 11. Gordon, will fall flat. Rufe Lester has opposition in the ist. One Mr. Doyle will oppose him. Rufus will get there all the same. Two Important Bills Signed. Washington, Sept. 19.—President Harris-m sighed the lottery and river and harbor hills at Crcsson to-day.

The Condition of Cation, WasihNuxuj*, Sept. 19.—The .Sec retary of Agriculture, in his Septem ber report, says of the cotton crop; The statistical returns for Septem ber are lees favorable for cotton than these pf August. Qu the Atlantic coast rains following a season of drought have oaused rust and shed ding of leaves and fruit.

Local reductions arc reported ip North Car olina, though tbc average condition is hut slightly lowered through heavy rains and cool nights. The high eon* dition of Tennessee has also been well mamtaiued and the crop there is still growing and fruiting. A Light Broke in Upon Him. The following is from the pen of tho Chicago Tribune’s humorist: “Mr. Brodweigh,” said tho lovely Boston girl, ft flush mounting her pale forehead and her voice trembling slightly, "I will not deny that your avowal moves me strangely. I can not disguise the fact that my heart pleads for you. Butin matters that involve the whole future happiness of two human beings no step should bo lightly taken. Mr. Brodweigh,” she continued, softly wiping her spec tacles, “while I should not look upon residence in another city as n wholly insurmountable barrier to our union there aro, nevertheless, other things to be considered. You nrc not aware, possibly, that I am a vegetarian ? ’ “Are you, indeed,” exclaimed the young man, dclightly. “Why, so am I! Miss Howjamcs—my own dear Euiersonin, I ” “One moment, Mr. Brodweigh. It may seem trivial to you, but is, I am persuaded, a matter of vital impor tance that we should entertain har monious views in particulars as well as generals. Pardon me, but what are your preferences nmong vegeta bles?” The young mnn’s arms dropped to his side. “Tho vegetables to which 1 am— er—addicted,” he replied, “arc to matoes, cabbages, turnips, rice, ruta bagas, egg plant, beets, sweet corn, peas, potatoes, lettuce, pnrsley, and mangel wurzed. I also cat a great deal of oat meal and cracked wheat.” “Nothing else. Mr. Brodweigh?” inquired Miss Howjamcs, anxiously. ‘ Of course I use all the principal fruits,” lie said. “I consider apples, peaches, pears, grapes, melons, cher ries, currants, and berries of all kinds ns really vegetables.” “You have omitted from your list nothing that—that seems to you pe culiarly and distinctively brnin-nour- ishing and—and representatively vegetarian in itself?” she said with an effort. “Nothing that I can think of. 1 hnye mentioned all the varieties. I think, that I —hut why this agitation, Miss Howjantes ? Arc you ill ? Have I ’’ “Mr. Brodweigh,” faintly spoke tho young lady, “in the agony of this disappointment,the keenest that I have ever felt, and whose bitterness you, too, must share ” “Emersonla Howjamcs!” he ex claimed in a thrilling voice, a light breaking in upon him, “did I forget beans? Did I omit beans? Why, beaus, my darling, arc my very life!” She fell into his outstretched arms, they mingled their tears of ecstacy together, and New York and Boston again communed in spirit, as they have done once in a great while from tho beginning, do occasionally even now, and probably ever shall do at fare intervals world without end. An Atlanta Item- There lives iu this city Miss Caro line Wilkinson, ngod about 05 years. For furty years she was the fiance of Alexander If. Stephens Mr. Ste phens met her at the home ot Dr. Dardens, in Warren county, ar.d again at Little * Hotel, Crawfordvillc, in 1842. Tho marriage never took place, because of Mr. Stophen s ill health. When he was elected Gover nor of Georgia, In 1880, it wnsarrang- cd that they were to bo married iu May following. His death iu March, howevor, prevented the final carryiig out of the plau.
