The Rome Tribune's anniversary issue was a grand paper, reflecting credit upon all who had any hand in getting it up. Such a publication must result in great good to the Hill City if it gets into the hands of all who should see it. The Lehigh Valley Railroad in Penn sylvania is extremely unfortunate of ** • late. On the 11th there was a fearful collision near Hazleton, of two packed excursion trains, in which more than 100 people were killed and wounded. On the 10th there was another wreck on the Pottsville division, in which six persons were killed and about thirty wounded. THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK. •While it is true that everything indi cates a close race between the two great parties in the November election, the Democrats at present seem to have the inside track. They are in better posi tion for aggressive work than the other side, while Gen. Harrison must be oil the defensive, as to his personal record, and his party is in the same lix. The Republicans can make no claim of giving hope to the country for any re- ; form, without being met- with the re minder that they have been in power many years without anything like re form. 'They started the campaign with the evident intention to delude the peo ple with the idea that it was a fight for protection on the one side and free trade on the other —but the people would not be gulled—they see that Cleveland's let ter and Mills" bill and the Democratic platform only propose reasonable and desirable reforms in our general tariff system. Even the Republicans admit that something is necessary in this line, and their majority in the Senate under took to pass a tariff bill embodying this idea; but it being only intended to fore stall the Democrats, who had inaugu rated the work, of course could not succeed. The outlook is hopeful. There is a great deal in the virtual admission by the Republican leaders that Indiana is gone to them—or that they can win without Indiana. Everything goes to show that their efforts are to be concen trated on New York, which we consider safely Democratic, in the National race, notwithstanding the fact that they are having their usual family quarrels in New York City. Euless the drift changes between this and the Oth of November, Grover will get there by a fair majority. Official Announcement Georgia State Agricultural Societyj SECRETAHY'S OF V ICE, Macon, Ga., October 0, 1888. ) The Georgia State Agricultural Society through its Fair Committee, have fixed the dates for holding the Annual State Fair on November sth to November 10th, 1888, at Central City Park, Ma con, Ga. All fear of yellow fever having subs Med, and the country having recov ered from the effects of the recent floods, all obstacles to success have been remov ed Our premium list is full and com plete, embracing everything in farm, garden and orchard products, home in dustry, needle-work, fine arts, machinery, live stock, poultry, dogs, bees, etc. Our grounds are the best in the South, and unsurpassed in America. Our race track has no superior anywhere. Ourstalls for stock are new throughout and on the most improved plan. In fact we have ample accommodation for all comers in every department. The books are now open, and we respectfully urge that en tries be forwarded to tlie secretary at once to avoid rush and confusion. For premium list and full information ad dress the Secretary. W. J. No IIT HEX, Rout. A. Nisbkt, President. Secretary. As will be seen from the abovethe State Fair is “on'’ again in all its glory. We are assured by Secretary Nisbet that the prospect is unusually bright. The post ponement has gained a special advantage in the matter of live stock and the races. The entries in boHi these departments will be much larger than they would have been in October. The dates as they now stand form a good racing circuit, with Macon in the lead followed by Columbus and Augusta in the order named. This assures the best races seen iu Georgia for many years, which alone will be worth a trip to Macon. Mclntosh, Talbott and Hancock coun ties are in the race for the $1,000.00 premium, with a very strong probability that Houston will follow suit; thus you see there will be no lack of interest, in formation and amusement for all. The State Fair belongs to the people of Georgia, and the people of Georgia should see to it that there are full ex hibits and big crowds. % .Selling Whiskey. The Fort Willey Enterprise tells us how Judge Boynton woke up the whiskey men of that town. “Fort Valley is a prohibition town, but it seems that there lias been a great deal of whiskey sold here regardless of the law. The grand jury found three true bills against three negroes of Fort Valley for violating tlie prohibition law. Simon and Lifus Felder could not be found by the officers, but Henry Jones, the barber, was arrested and carried to Perry, where he was tried Wednesday. Henry plead guilty and Judge Boynton sentenced him to pay a fine of $125 and go to jail for fifteen days. This fine is not considered too heavy by ourcitizens, as the law lias been violated to a con siderable extent. This action of the judge will do much toward breaking up this unlawful traffic. It has been the general opinion that whiskey was being sold here by a number of negroes, and our law-abiding citizens propose to stop it, and every effort made to enforce the prohibition law.” “Diseased nature oftentimes breaks ! forth in strange eruptions*” and the re sult of it all is pain. Now Salvation Oil will send this very pain to the l ight about at the trifling cost of only 25 cents. John B.

Joppa is one of ‘the oldest cities in the world and tlie first possible landing place as one sails northward from Egypt. Yet there is difficulty in landing Reefs of rocks defend the shore, the bay is shallow, sharks are not unknown and the coast is much exposed Your vessel anchors half a mile out at sea, and a throng of iiattish bottomed cobles soon surround the ship to carry passengers through the opening in the reefs to land. A babel of cries, un intelligible to western ears, fills tlie air; but by degrees the motley crowd of deck passengers of the most varied nationali ties, veiled women, shawl covered Arabs, black Nubians, with their red fezes, brown Levantines, turbaned Syrians, or Egypt ians with their flowing robes of all shades, all drift by degrees into the boats, and for a time at least you see the last of their red and yellow slippers and hear their noisy jargon no more. Then y> u, who have shrunk possibly from this crushing crowd of Orientals, have y< ur turn, and the skillful and strong armed oarsmen whisk you through the opening in the reefs across the shallow harbor, and then suddenly, when you are twenty or thirty yards off shore, you are seized and carried in the bare arms or on the back of a boatman through the shall*w water to the tumble down old quay built of stone from the ruins of Ctesarea, and at last you find yourself treading on the soil of the Holy Land. Pursuing our way through tlie street we find it rough enough. Once paved, the stones have tong since risen or sunk above or below their proper level. Dust bins and sewers being apparently alike unknown to the idle Oriental, every kind of foulness bestrews the way. The build ings are'of stone, with little or i:o wood anywhere, timber being scarce in Pales tine. Tlie arch is hence universal, as you ramble on you see that no light enters the shops except from the front—that they are, in fact, something like miniatures of the gloomy holes sometimes made out of railway arches in England. Tables of cakes or sweetmeats line the narrow streets. Rough awnings f mats, often sadly dilapidated, or tent cloths, or loose boards resting on a rickety structure of poles, partially shade the roadway. Now we meet a turbaned water carrier with a huge skin bottle on liis back. The bottle is, in fact, a defunct calf, with water instead of veal within, and without legs, head or tail, and offering a most forcible illustration of the reference to the placing of new wine in old bottles. Further on we see a bare armed and bare legged individual in ragged skull cap, cotton jacket and cotton knicker bockers, chaffering with a roadside huck ster for some delicacy costing a farthing or two from some of the mat baskets on a table; the bearded vender, also bare armed and bare legged, sits as ho tries to sell, his head swathed in a white and red turban, and his body in pink and white cotton. Of course, there is a lounger at his side looking on. Then, again, we see au Arab in “kefi yeh,” or head shawl, with a band of cam el’s hair rope, very soft, around his head to keep the flowing gear in its placg, and a brown and white striped “abba” for his outer dress; he is bargaining for a bridle at a saddler’s, and trying to cheapen it, and the saddler sits cross legged on a counter and under a shady projection of wood and reeds, which gives him much needed shade. And thus we see glimpses of ordinary, every day life in the old town of Joppa. —The Quiver. SYrirnn Canning Industry.
