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. Colored Baptist Association. 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.

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. —Savannah Daily Times. Judge Hines says he will bo a can didate for the U. S. Senate. He has been endorsed by the Washington county alliance. There arc rumors of opposition to Turner.
