A Snake in IIIm lint.
Mi. John 11. Guldens,ol this county,
! lolls quite a singular incident which
| occurred to luin a few mornings since,
j Mr. G. arose early, as is hi* custom,
j dressed went out himself, to the well put on to draw his hat a buck¬ and
,
et of water; returned to the house
I and proceeded to make a fire prepara
j tory for getting breakfast. While
Mr. G. was busy at these morning du
tics he thought his hut lit Iii in rather
closely, but did not give the matter
any further attention. Y\ hen he went
j out, baud*, however, he laid to Ins bathe hat aside, his face and and out
craw led a venomous looking snake,
measuring three foot in length. Just
1 how or when his suakcsliip got into
his hat, Mr. Giddens does not kuotv,
but It was surely there. We believe
this story, for Mr. G. is a strictly tem
perate man, lives iu a “dry” district,
and does not “see snakes” where there
arc none,

A Rrave laid* Wrataa.
A few day# slice, Mrs. A. R Clar¬
ion, living a low mile# from Eastman,
licxrd! a noise in the cane patch, near
the house, and thinking that the naif
had found Its way therein, site started
to drive the anniai out. A# she was
leaving the house, Mrs. C. discovered
the calf feeding on the green off in an
other direction, but kept on to the
cane. As she approached a large Ite
gro man was seen in the patch helping
himself. Mrs. Clayton called to her lit¬
tle son, back at the dwelling, to bring
her the pistol. At this command of the
brave little woman, tlie negro nionnt
ed the fence and fled for dear life,
Mrs Clayton firing five shots at him
as lie hastily retreated to the thick
woods. The shots were of no avail,
however, but showed the colored cane
thief that he would have met with a
warm reception, had he tarried longer
in llie patch. The courage and brave
rv of Mrs. Clayton is commendable,
and it would be a good idea for more
of our ladies to learn to practice the
pistol us well as the piano.

In Lumber City a ffcw days since, it
afforded us real pleasure to meet with
our mutual friend, Mr. J. II. Gay, and
to learn of itiin that since our separa¬
tion. a few years to the rearward, he
i.a* been alike m tiie possession of
good health and a fair allowance of
prosperity.
Mr. Gay has been for the past few
years engaged iu the sale of all kinds
of mill machinery, safes, etc., and fie
iu formed us that in canvassing
throughout almost the entire counties
embraced iu the wiregrass belt he has
been the recipient of uothiug but the
kindest of treatment at the hands of
these people so universally quoted and
admired for their generosity. Many
of our readers throughout Dodge and
the several counties adjoining, who
like ourselves know and esteem our
friend for his many good qualities of
head aud heart, will join us in rejoic¬
ing because of his success and the
wish that he may finally reach that
round ot the ladder to which his
merits entitle him.

Nfext Monday, 24th lust., the State
Pair, to befteld at Macon, will throw
it# gate* D.ien. The Fair w]|l cunt in
ne one week,
Of course tho main feature of the
occasion will be the agricultural cx
hi bit* But as it wonld bo wry dull
to gather an fmincnstf crowd and have
nothing else for the people to do but
look af option stalks,ears of ctyh, cab¬
bages. and the like, tlio management
have provided entertaining feature*
for each day and night.
A decidedly attractive I'.cpsi'luro
will be keening the grounds oj»cn at,
night, and lighting them briiliautlv
with electric light*. That immense
park, covered with magnificent trees,
lighted up as bright as day with the
softest possible light, wilt be a sight
worth traveling mile* to *ce, and those
who tali to witness the novel spectacle
will regret it.
There will be fireworks every night,
and some very attractive pyrotechnics
will be sent up during the day Oil
three days of the week.
The grandest and most interesting
day of the week will lie Confederate
Veteran’s Day, Wednesday, 26th, On
this day every surviving Confederate
soldier and officer that can possibly
get lo Macon will form lo Hue and be
reviewed tor Hie last time by their
grand old chief, Hon. Jefferson Davis
What a historic scene that will be!
Tito last grand review of the greatest
army the world ever saw, by its chief,
whoso popularity has withstood the
slatidcrs and abuse of a greater part
of a century, and whose popularity
lies withstood the Lost Cause.
Mr. Davis will arrive in Macon
Tuesday night or early Wednesday
morning. It is expected that all the
old soldiers will have assembled at
the Park in the early forenoon, and
soon thereafter as they march in line
around the mile track, Mr. Davis will
review them from the grand stand.
Owing to Mr. Davis’s greatly ad¬
vanced ago, it is greatly to be feared
that this will be the last grand review
of the Confederate States armies, by
the only President the Confederacy
ever had. This fact lends greater in¬
terest to the occasion. From present
indications, every old soldier in the
Slate of Georgia may he expected in
Macon on the 26th inst., and hundreds
will coino from adjoining States.
Tbs Vctcrans’Coinmitice, of Macon,
have taken the matter in charge, and
they will seo that every veteran will
have a place to sleep and plenty to
eat.
An intelligence office lias been es¬
tablished, and all who want board
will simply have to app’v at ilml office
to be furnished accommodations at a
very liberal rate.
Thursday, 27th. lias been set aside
as “Drummer’s Day.” Most of the
merchants who deal in Macon will be
there on Veteran’s Day, aud they will
remain over a day or so to look at the
various stocks of the different mer¬
chants. Knowing this the drummers
of Macon have determined to do the
handsome bv the visiting mcrchat.t*.
They have ,a big tent on tlie inside ot
the mile track, where evciy merchant
visiting Macon will be welcome. The
drummers want it thoroughly under¬
stood that the hoqdtalily of their big
tent is for each and every merchant
that conics to Macon.
The Eastman Cornet Band lias been
engaged to furnish music on Drum¬
mer’s Day, and we can assure the
“boys of the road” i.nd their visiting
guests some fine selections. Our band
has been practicing for the occasion
for some time, and wc feel confident
that they will be equal to the emer¬
Tmc AGRICULTURAL FEATURES.
The Fairs for many years have been
good, but tho Fair of 1887 will sur¬
pass them till. President W. J. Nor
then has accomplished wonders
. has worked , , up .i the State o. . thoroughly, ,,
and exhibits have been entered from
every county in the State.
Georgia’s resources will be repro
scnled tliorougbly. The Agricultural
Department, with what has already
been entered, and apace assigned, will
make tho largest and most elaborate
display of the kind ever witnessed in
(lie United Stales. Thirty thousand
square icet of space have been assign¬
ed lo displays of this kind.
Eleven counties have entered for the
prizes ot 41,000 first, $500 second, and
4250 for the third best display. These
counties have been preparing and
planting for their exhibits for a year.
The stock exhibit will consist of
fourteen Jersey herds from Georgia,
one from South Carolina, and one
from Alabama ; Devons—ono from
Indiana, aud one front Georgia ; Hol¬
stein*, short horns, Ayrshire*, and
grades of all kinds have been entered.
Sheep, goats, swine, etc., will be col¬
lected in numbers surprisingly large.
Tlic horse department will bo one of
rare interest. Over three hundred
hare been entered. 'J he management
lias arranged excellent races for each
day.
The night entertainment will lie the
most attractive features of the Fair.—
Sevcnty-fivc electric lights will illu¬
minate the grounds as bright as day.
The park, which is the most beautiful
in the United State®, under those light*
will be a sight unparalleled in the his¬
tory of Macon and her Fairs.
The display of fire-works will be ihe
grandest ever presented in the South.
Large pictures of Mr. Davis and other
distinguished men will be represented
by the pyrotechnics.
The electric fountain will be one of
the most beautiful things ever seen.—
It looks ilke myriads of diamond* were
floating in the air. This Ss a sight
that one may not see in a life time.
Needle work will be collected from
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Soulli
Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina,
and two large exhibits in this depart¬
ment comes from Missouri.
The agricultural machinery depart¬
ment is so filled with machinery that
doublethc usual horse power had to be
secured this year.
Railroad fare will ho cheaper than
was ever known in the history of ihe
State Fairs. All the roads entering
Macon have reduced the fare to about
otic cent per mile.

The former

ami B. T. Bcinhrv, Treawui
re-elected, and with the 'WHMH
order of business the body Wont
work with a zeal and determinate
seldom Tlio equalled by a similar bod|®
various objects of the ssnoyi
lton—temperance, education, ntl**k>
and Sunday schools—with several nil
nor matters, were acted noon in k *
manner that showed thought, common
business sense and progress. __
Nearly, or quite, 300 baptism*, With
between 4200 and 4300 for mission*,^
4800 for education, with right nice
little sums to kid aged mi ulster* to
live and young ones to get an educa¬
tion, were matters of interest to tlio
body.
Saturday was Sunday school day,
and seldom, if ever, lias it been the
privilege of the writer to whites, a
more pleasant occasion, or note such
rapid increase of Sunday school inter¬
est, or listen to sweeter music, or mark
such a determination to reach every¬
body tit the whole country ami bring
(hem into the Sunday school.
The questions were—“How to reach
every church ami community with tint
Sunday school“Every person in tho
Sunday school;’’ “There Sunday
schools to be kept up all the time;"
“The object to reach every ono with
God’s word, and by God’s direction lo
bring them to Christ.”
Such as these were the questions,
and the speeches, motions, resolution-,
money, plaits and spirit all answered
it must be done.
Some new features in the new work
for tlio future was a special commit¬
tee appointed to arrange and keep tlio
needed lines ot work supplied with
plans, times and workers. Also a spe¬
cial committee of ladies, whose dtt’y
it is to sec that an active organization
of church workers for missions and
other objects be organized and kept
up In every church in the Association.
An interesting matter in the work,
of the body was the amicable adjust¬
ment of all former difficulties relating
to the N. E. College, which is a mag¬
nificent building, just adapted to tlio
object for which it was built, with
three teachers of marked ability and
reputation, mid ubout 100 students iu
attendance.
This school promises at no distant
day to be a matter of interest to ajl
wiregrass Georgia, and especially to
those Baptists.
The rabid growth of this body in
number*, work, spirit and respecta¬
bility is a matter worthy of mention
anywhere, and would not suffer when
compared to any religions gathering.
Taken altogether, its royal welcome
an 1 entertainment at Cochran, the
harmony that prevailed iu the hotly,
tlio success attending its laliors in va¬
rious directions, together with tho
sign- of work and underlying spirit,
made this meeting one of the best in
its history, and one of the most pleas¬
ant in any similar organization.
The body adjourned to meet next
year on Friday before the 3d Sunday
church, in October, with the Rock S| rings
10 miles below Dublin, in
Dmircus county.
