He wards of one hundred Norman draft horses, Arabian ring horses and Shet land ponies. The most perfect disci pline is maintained in the several dis- tinct departments. Traveling men with whom we have conversed, and who have seen the show at various places, attest to its general excellence, and say that one of the most noticea ble features is the entire absence of all questionable characters and fol lowers. Unescorted Indies and chil dren may be sure of the most courte< ojis treatment. Remember that this circus performs in Thotnasville next Saturday, the 15th. It will be the only circus here this season, and it will no doubt draw a big crowd. “Bob” Mitchell’s Eloquence. The following special appeared in Sunday’s News: At a veteran’s rally, presided over by Gen. P. M. B. Young, resolutions were passed that badges of gray cloth bearing Gen. Gordon’s picture be struck off and worn by the confederate veterans. Fervid and impulsive speeches were made, the most ardeflt aud effective, doubtless, being that by Hon. R. G. Mitchell, president of the senate, who thrilled every confederate breast in the hall, and there were 400 in round numbers. Veterans criod from emotion. One of the closing scenes of the meeting was the voter- rans "with hands on their hearts and eyes towards their God,” pledging themselves to vote for and support Gen. Gordon. A member of the legislature stated that ho had hereto fore been undecided, but that he was henceforth a Gordon man. left North Carolina when a lad and | T 7 rause5 » ’8 some cases moved to Leon county, Florida. Af terwards lie moved to South Georgia, nnd has lived here ever siuce. Captain Moore leaves a wife, arid a large number of children to mourn his death.

Herbener. At their con clusion the body was taken charge of by St. Thomas Lodge, ot which the deceased was tin honored member. Mr. Wni. J. Campbell acicd as mar ■ shal. The following were the paU bearers: M. A. Fleetwood, J. B.Coyle, D. Elius, Win. Parrish aud T. J. Dar- racott. The stewards were Robert Dekle and D. A. Murray. The beau tiful and impicssive burial service of: the Masonic fraternity wore conduct ed by Worshipful Master, G. W. Her ring. Simple and sublime, they tout-li ed every heart present. Thus has been laid to rest a '.matt whom all honored for his personal worth and integrity. Captain Moore was a member of the Presbyterian church, a devoted Mason, a kind hus band, a loving father, a worthy citi zen nnd a true neighbor. Words of consolation on such occa sions have a hollow sound. Bleeding hearts must bleed, but the Healer, He who docth all things well, will bind them up with his love.

The Brunswick Times, speaking of the x-eports about tho yellow fever iu that ct'.T * "Thet.e has been a good deal of stcxness litre recently, all from ordina- ot ibroxen bone fe v er. and a number of deaths have occu/red ; but this sick ness and those deaths have not war ranted the foolish ruLiors of the pres ence of yellow fever. ‘•The truth is—and The Times makes the assertion with i-hame—half a; dozen panic-stricken dlizeas of Brunswick, aided by about the same number ot lying visitors, are responsi ble for the infamous and damaging rumors as to the presence here of yel low fever.” John B. Gordon. Athens Evening Ledger. In Governor Gordon wo see a per fect type of Southern manhood, a ntan whose courago end fortitude have been tested in war, private life aud political contests. His enemies love him, nnd when he is gone, comrades and Georgians will erect to his mem ory a granite shnft, cut and chiseled with words of eulogy, hut his most enduring monument will be his hiS' torie life, imperishably based upon the aflection and love of his people, and prompting unborn generations to the same height of purity and honor he so worthily attained.

The outfit is entirely new and presents a Governor Gordon, in his farewell message, makes a good showing for the progress of Georgia. In four years her taxable values have increased about $87,811. Among the more important subjects of taxation, her cotton mills havo increased in value $3,230,518; her iron works, $186,231; her banking capital, $6,160,755; her mining capi tal, $45,491; her lands, S13.789.513; her city and town property, $27,899,- 110; and her railroads, $14,360,150. This is certainly a flattering exhi bit. Few states, if any, luivc made more substantial progress in four years.

He says there are some cased of malarial fever in Brunswick, but they present no symptoms of yellow ever. Not a single republican is elected to tho legislature in Florida. This breaks the record. Well, we arc uct surprised at anything now. Tho republicans did not know the tariff bill was loaded. But it was, and the rebound was something ter rific. The democrats got there with both feet last Tuesday. Kilgore got there with one foot, when he kieked out of tho house. Sunday was an oif day, - politically, in Atlanta. Knots of men, however, discussed the senatorial question. Col. Hawkins, of Americus, is the latest senatorial suggestion. The democrats will paint Savannah a lurid red to-night.

We don't believe in the "Hur rah'' method of transacting business. There’s decidedly more evidence of sincerity in a continued utterance of solid and substantial facts, than there is in the spasmodic outbursts of in explicable liberality which has been shown by some business houses.
