And they were willing woi shippers.

Cairo’s Population.
Ad acourate census of the popula
tion of Cairo has just been t aken by
the Principal and some of the students
of the Cairo High School. The fig
ures show the actual population of the
place on Oct. 1st. They are as fol
lows:
> Number inhabitants 475
White males 174
White females 192
Total whites 366
Colored males 97
Colored females 112
Total colored 209
Total males 271
Total females 304
North of railroad 222
South of railroad 353
While the above showing will not
reach the expectation of soffie of her
citizens, yet it. is a creditable one, as
will be seen by the following census of
the place wbioh was taken inll885,
and which was published in the
Thomasville Times at the time.
Number inhabitants .410
White males * 119
White females ' 120
Total whites 239
Colored males , 7G
Colored females 95
Total colored 171
From this comparison it will be
seen that there has been an increase
of 40 per cent, in five years, which
amounts, at the same rate, tp nearly
doubling the population in a decade.
Caiio is surrounded by one of the
best sections in South Georgia. The
farmers over there, though farming on
a'less extensive scale than in some
portions of the county, are thrifty,
'progressive and, in the main, self sup
porting. They make their own sup
plies, and in this lie* the key to their
success. •' •
“Under the Gas Light.”
This play, which will occupy the
boards on the opening night of tbo
theatrical season, to-morrow night, is
Aug. Daly’s great success. The mere
fact that Mr. Rehan is manager ot the
company, is sufficient guarantee.ot
the strength of the qist. The scenic
effects are pronounced by the press of
the south to be magnificent in every
detail, and the cast of actors as strong
as Mr. Rehan has over had. An ex
change in speaking of the spectacular
effeotssays:
"A train of cars conies across the
stage in less than ten seconds, an ef
fect never produced upon any stage,
a panoramic vieuj of tho North river,
showing the famous craft of New
York harbor, the famous tapestry
scene. Central Park in winter, ahow-
ing : the obelisk in the distance and
the reception of- the Hotel Plaza,
which is by far the handsomest scene
ever carried-out of New X°rk. The
whole play throughout treats of life
in Gotham, its sunshine and shadows,
its slums, its landmarks and points of
interest.”
Tne Drummer.
The large number of drummers in
the city every day this fall does not
seem to dimiatsh anv,and# small army
of them are seen on the streets, and
around the hotels every day. They are
jolly, fellows. One can readily tell a
drummer from the general traveling
public. Nothing is too good for a
drummer when he has made a good
salt, and if you ask the hotel porter,
or bootblack, what class of men pay
the best, they would unhesitatingly
reply the drummer; but with alibis
goodnature he is without doubt the
champion kicker, when he feels that
he is being imposed upon. Perhaps
of all the (grievances that disturb the
commercial mao’s serenity most,excess
baggage is the greatest, and he will
beat the railroads on this point every
chance he gets. jjfc%r4....; •
At Home.
Mr. John Holland and sister, of In
dianapolis, who have been at the Stu
art for a week or two, moved to the
Baptist parsonage, on Smith avenue,
yesterday.
Laid To Rest.
The funeral services of {he late
Hugh J. McIntyre, took place yester
day morning at the Presbyterian
church. They were conducted by the
Rev. Mr. Clisby, assisted by Revs.
McDonell and McKee. In the church
of which the deceased had been a mem
ber, and which he had helped to form
and fashion, having taken great inter
est in the construction and erection of
the new edifice, the solemn services
were held. At their conclusion, a
large concourse of mourning relatives
and lifelong friends, followed the
mains to Laurel Hill ' Cemetery,
where they were laid to rest; laid to
rest among kindred who had preceded
the dea-1 to the spirit world
The services at the grave were brief
and solemn. Reverentially, and with
bowed heads, the concourse listened to
tho words of the man of God, and
shed tears for the dead. Tenderly'
and gently the body was lowered to
its final Mating place. Loving hands
placed some fresh flowers on the new
madfi grave. May flowers ever bloom
around the sacred spot, and the green
turf rest very lightly on the breast of
the dead.

OCHBOCKONEE, Ga.,)
Oct. 6th, 1890. I
The. Macedonia Association of the
Colored .Baptist church convened at
this place on last Thursday, October
2nd, and continued 4 days. There

The farmers of this community are
busy gathering corn. They report
crops fine.
The wild turkey’s may look out;
Cary’s shoulder is about well.
Mr. J. W. Jackson has returned

Mr. Jasper Barwick, of Ochlocko-

denberry is drawing the boys over.
Mr. Anderson Roddenberry,’ one of
Cairo’s most prominent yonng men,

Quarterly meeting' convened at
Pierce chapel last Saturday and Sun
day. Saturday morning Dr. Hinton
preached a very interesting sermon.
At 1 o’clock dinner wa3 spread. After
all had partaken, a shorA time was
spent resting in the grove. A
little later In the day we all gathered
in the churoh and some general busi
ness was transacted.
On Sunday morning, at 11 o’clock,
Dr. Hinton preached a very deep
and interesting sermon. There was
quite a.large congregation, "fully as
large ns the writer has ever seen at
this place in several years. Among
those from Cairo, were Misses Isola
and Bessie Smithwick, Maggie
Powell, Hattie Ramsey, Carrie Hurst
and Estelle Hester, and quite a crowd
of young-men.
A Worthy Example.
The Alliancemen of Richmond
county have instructed Mr. Calvin to
vote against Gordon. To this Mr.
Calvin replies as follows:
“I am an Allianceman. I am de
voted to the order with all my heart.
I endorse its splendid declaration of
purposes. I am in the order because
I believo it capable of great good to
the farmers. I am ever. ready to
comply with the reasonable demands
of my brethren, but between the in-
structious issued by the Democracy
of this county and those formulated
by (he county Alliance, I am, in
honor bound, to abide by the former.
I will cheerfully represent the wishes
of the Democracy of Richmond on
this question.”
Many representatives will have to
decide between the alliance and dem
ocracy. The politician who banks
on political preferment in the future
by cutting loose from the democratic
party, will make a big mistake. The
democratic party will live when other
parties and organizations'shall have
passed away. .
Rube Burrows Killed.
Mobile, Oct. 8.—Rube Burrows,
the train robber, was killed this morn'
ing in Linden, Ain. He complained
of hunger and was given his wallet, in
which was food. Therefrom he pull
ed forth two pistols and captured his
captors, making them release him
from jail. He woke up J. W. Carter,
a deputy, who had his money and ri.
fie, and demanded the return thereof,
when Carter opened fire. Five shots
were exchanged, Carter being shot in
the shoulder and Borrows in the
abdomen. Burrows died almost in'
stantly.
Mayor Hopkins will hold court this
doming to the regret of offenders.
T(ig prohibitionists have made the
path nf the toddy lover one of thorns,
'and he has a hard time gratifying his
taste ahd satisfying his thirst. In Mis
souri he has to stands up to drink; in
Massachusetts he must sit down; in
Kansas he must swear he has glanders
or pink eye; in Iowa he must commit
prejury and endanger his soul’s salva
tion, while in Nebraska it is a peniten
tiary offense to treat one’s neighbor.

Judge Hines says he will bo a can
