The condition of cotton in June was 85.6, declining to 82.7 in July and to 80.4 in August, losing from that lime to the present 9.7 points.' The retrogressive tendency has been persistent during the season.

" Mrs. Stringer was a daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Isaac A derman. She was born July 18th, 1863, making her a little over thirty years of age. Uniting with ihe Missionary Baptist Church when quite young, she always lived a true and oontisteni-rmember up to - She time of her death. She was married to Mr. J. D. Stringer on the 23rd of November, 1886, and leaves twj children, a brightlittle boy of four years and a little girl 18 months old, to mourn the lass of a loving mother. She was adntifol daughter, a devoted wife and a lov ing mother.

ThomasviUe, Ga., Oct 7.—(Slafl Cotrespondence to The Constitution.) Twenty years ago a withered old mao. hailing from Indiana, made his appear* ance in this city. The hectic flush in bis face,' the racking coogh and the attenuated form told of a-desperate straggle with that terror of the.snriw belt—consumption. There was something in the' pine- laden Ozone of ThomasviUe that made him feel betur. His lnogs answered to the call of mpiration with greater ease and the gentle warmth' of the Sooth Georgia sun roused ap his limbs to greater vitality - Today that same old mao was pointed out to me—« picture of vital ity to age, which told of the wonderful powers which not Only presrved h ; m through twenty years of .unexpected life-, bat gives him promise of many more to come. That was the first chapter of Tbom- asville as a winter resort, the lame ot which has spread through the -conti nent and moiinmeots to which may be found in the scores of princely mro- sions to be found scattered through the pine barrens of Thomas county. Bn*, really, a wonderful story centers around the disco?try ot. the old Indi an un. There had been nothing but gloom in the South Georgia pine, barren. Three dollars an acre was an extravagant price for if, and much of it might have been obtained for 35 cents. As one wealthy northern', r alter another came it was only to write back the wonderful story of Georgia’s Eum. Purer air, softer skies, more gentle 1 unshine they-had neither sten nor felt elsewhere.

MITCHELL FOR GOVERNOR. Will Atkinson and Clay Give Way to the Wiregrass Statesman? The following special, under date of the 8th, sent from Atlanta to the Morning News, will be read with in terest: - The publication here to-day of a lengthy political interview with Hon. Robert G. Mitchell of Thomas county, together with the announcement that, his name will be presented to the gubernatorial convention next year, has stirred up not a Jitile talk. Mr, Mitchell is very well known in this section by reason of his Iegislative ca- reer as president of tha last Senate. He has been considered in thu front rank in state affairs, though np to the present he has not been regarded as a probable entry in the gubernatorial handicap. The interview to-day is taken as the practical announcement of Col, Mitchell’s candidacy, .though he disclaims any inch intention, though he would of course gratefully accept the honor should it be conferr ed upon-him. v - • r* The probability of South Georgia presenting Col. Mitchell is not the only interesting feature of the politi cal prospect to-day. For V week or more there have been vague rumors affecting - the gubernatorial situation which now seem to be explained. The talk is that both President Clay and Speaker Atkinson will fall in line and give CoL Mitchell a clear field iu which to meet Gen. dement A. Evans. Speaker Atkinson and President Clay could not both run With tfny hope of success against Gen. Evans, with the strength he is daily developing in this part of the state. Both depend largely upon the same elements for strength, both being besides from the same section, though Speaker Atkinson votes in Coweta county. President Clay and Speaker Atkinson are good friends notwith standing their reported rivalry. Their positions of political issues are the same, and being young they could well afford to wait a more favorable opportunity and by joining in the present reported plan, each might add strength to his following. Gen. Evans is in line with the ad ministration. He will be supported by thosd who construe the democratic platform as Mr. Cleveland does, while Senator Mitchell, besides hailing from the southern part of the state, which hasn’t furnished a governor in a good while, is outspoken in construing the party policy in an opposite light from the administration. He is for free coinage, and the lioe will be drawn on that issue. Though a South Georgia man, many safe politi cians here urged Mr. Mitchell as a much more formidable candidate than either President Clay or Speaker At- kioson, even in this part of the state.’ It cau be safely put down that Gen. Evans will be the North Georgia can didate, that is the one who will over shadow all others finally, and with Senator Mitchell of South Georgia theo *ntts; would be a hard fought The Macon Eveniog News, crisp and bright, spaikling wi.h the latest news, now reaches ThomasviUe at 6 o’clock ihe morning after publication.

Washington, Oct. 9.—In order to secure uniformity in the classification of imported tobacco, particularly with reference to paragraph 64a of the tariff act, the treasury department has issnedLa circular 10 the custom officers of the department. The paragraph provides that if any portion of tobacco imported ii.boxrs, bales or pikages is suitable for wrappers^ the entire quantity contained therein shaU be dutiable at $2 and $2 50 "per pound, according to whether it is steamed or not. The circular provides that nuless wrapper tobacco is designedly packed with filler tobacco in appreciable quantity, it sbonlduot interfere' with the classification of the package as filler tobacco. Parties interested in the culture of' tobacco in Thomas county, as weU as the cigar manufacturers ol cigars here, win be interested in the above item of news. > The Rack Question. A promiaeut farmer in this county, one who does his trading here, and who always brings something to town to sell, complains that frequently he can find no place to hitch his teams.

There’s a German tarrnor living n^ar Fort ValUy who conducts his farm on business principles. i z in is his name, and this morn ing he shipped over the Atlanta and Florida railroad two cir loads of crab grass hay. The hay was made on laud where crop of watermelons was raised, and it was shipped to Chattanooga where it will be sold. When Georgia farmers do more of this sort of business there will be more money and less discontent in the land. —Journal. Thomas couoty far men are thor- ougly alive to tha value of hay. More of it has been saved this season than for any two years previous, aud all ol it has found a ‘ready sale. There is no expense aTached to the raising ol hay except harvesting it, and it seems to us that it could be made a good money crop. The German farmer near Fort^yalley, alluded to above, has set the farmers an example wh’ch should be f J’owed. Chicago, October 10.—The paid admissions to the World’s Fair grounds yesterday were 713,646, the largest by far ever known at any in» ternational or other exposition.

It is believed that this re duction will secure the 1 cent per mile rate from the southern roads. Cheap rates on all the roads will insure the largest avenge attendance from now uotil the dose of the World’s fair. On Trial.
