The deadly cotton gin has boon get ting in its work this fall. Americus has a |-0[)ulatir.n of 6,335, Americus is a hummer. It is but two weeks until the Pied mont Exposition opens in Atlanta. The cigarette incident mentioned yes terday morning' should have been credited to the Savannah News. Dr. McCuue lias made a clean back-down in his charges against Gov. Gordon, and now says he only meant to explain why the Governor attacked him in his speeches.—Anicr- icus Recorder. The Trezevant claim, dating back oie hundred years, is to be paid Geor gia at last. It amounts to $35,000. The agent of the state, Mr. Green, gets one third of the amount for col lecting it. He has worked at it for many years. The highwaymen of the train robber variety have become so bold that one of them ventured into Chi cago 0 few days ago and held up a street car. There was a solitary pas» senger aboard, and he exhibited great alacrity in surrendering^uch money and valuables ns lie happened to have about his person.—Ex. A Chicago woman is suing the city for damages sustained by stepping into a bole in one of the streets of that wild western village. It must have been a mighty big hole. Ten to one if the corporation attorney will have the hole nnd foot measured it will be found that the hole is the smallest. A novel suit is reported from an Ohio town. Sophie Frances asked the court to make Solomon Oviatt pay her 82,000 as damages for a stolen kiss. This modern Solomon is not as wise in lus day and generation, as was his nnmeskc: the latter would have promptly returned it. A dispatch from Atlania, speaking ol the fight on Gordon, says : ‘‘In the meantime Gov. Gordon is still being indorsed for the Senate. The sub-alliance No. 715 of Jackson to day unanimously adopted, by a ris ing vote, a resolution indorsing Gov. John B. Gordon for the Senate, and emphatically condemning the methods being used to mislead and delude the people by those opposing him.” At Pawtucket, R. I., the 100th nuniversary of the introduction of cotton spinning in America by Samuel Slater has been celebrated. Tho celebration was inaugurated by an industrial exposition, in which cot ton spinning machinery in all its suc cessive stages of progress, from the primitive machines of the inventor to tho latest improved appliances, was shown. Among the principal exhibits were to be seen a field of growing cotton, a model of Eli Whit ney's cotton gin and modern cotton mills and their various products. All of the principal cotton manufacturing centers were represented. It is a very important event in the industrial his tory of New England and will attract general attention throughout the coun try.

New Orleans, Sept. 30.—It is now reasonably certain that a fight will he arranged between Dempsey and Fitzsimmons, to take place before the Olympic Club in this city. Dempsey yesterday wired the club to forward the articles of agreement on the basis proposed, to wit: Purse of S12.000.

Griffin, a well-known tobacconist, committed suicide by shooting him self with a pistol last night. He was to liavo been married on Oct. 8. “ll is awful,” said Mrs. Binks. “The census is said to have embraced sixty thousand old maids in Massachu setts.”—Congressional Record. It was, doubt’ess, the first time some of these old maids were ever em braced. The sensation must been very peculiar—perhaps pleasant. A petition will likely be started to have some able bodied men start out soon to take the census again. Now that a Philadelphia judge has decided that there is nothing immoral in Tolstoi’s Kreutzer Sonati, the sale of the work will probably fall off. Mr. Wannamaker and Judge Thayer disagree about the |character of the work, and the former, still excludes it from the mails. Carpets, Mattings Rugs, RATTAN ROCKERS. BAMBOO EASLES, AND CREENS.
