A few day# slice, Mrs. A.

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. - J. II. Clay.

We are pleased lo send you the name of Jim Creighton, as a subscriber to the Journal. Jim is a good fellow, successful as a sawmill man, and the best “catch” at base-ball in the State. Messrs. Levi Evans aud Ilort liar rel now own the establishment form¬ erly known as F. B. Stubbs & Co’s. These young men are energetic and clever, aud are bouud to mako friends and money. IV’e arc all sorry to lose our Morris Hertz. Morris is one of (lie best Jews or Gentiles either, we ever knew. Bill McGiuuis says lie doesn’t believe Hertz had a tiling to do with killing Christ. Witty Dan Lanier, traveling agent of D. Glouber, of Brunswick, is iu totvii this morning, and says he feels like a “four year old.” Dan aHvays sells goods when lie comes to Cliaun ccy. Caraway Wright lute gone to the Piedmont, and it is rumored that lie is going north to take unto himself a better half. Good luck, old boy. Our young men’s meeting to-night promises to be a grand success. We will have I lie cleverest and most hand some Captain that will honor Jeff Davis in the torchlight procession on the night of the 2Gth inst. Oct. 18. —The young men ofChaun cey assembled at the City Ilall Mon¬ day night, for the purpose of organ¬ izing a company to join the torchlight procession at Macon on the 26th. Maj. J. S.

The people of Atlanta, the President, and Mrs. Cleveland, will no doubt be greatly impressed by this noble ex¬ hibit from the Antoskeag Lumber Company. The delegation from Eastman Ma¬ sonic Lodge, who vls’tcd Ilawkins¬ villc Friday last, are very enthusiastic in their expressions of pleasure for the royal manner in which they were entertained. The generous hospitali¬ ties with which the visiting brethren were welcomed witl ever bo remem bered with pleasure. The spirit shown is evidence conclusive that the tenets of this noble order is the watch¬ word and guide of the worthy breth¬ ren of Ilawkinsvillc, aud this visit will ever be a white stone in the memory of all the participants. The State Fair is now tho topic ot interest. We arc informed that Col. E. II. Bacon has requested the surviv¬ ing members of his command, the 32d Georgia Regiment to meet in Macon, to join in the ranks of the “old vctc rant.” This occasion will be one of great interest to all. Time with it* wanted kindness has obliterated the bitterness and misery of those days ot vxoo, and noth ing now remains but the glanious aiul pleasant recollections of the time when with the fire of youth and love of romance and adventure, the going lo war seemed but a gay outing—remembrance of tlio tender loving kisses from sweet lips at part¬ ing, sparkling eyes wet with dewy tears that could not hide the love light gleaming there—a wave of the hand, and flashing of bright sunbeams on the gleaming military accoutre¬ ments—a tiralala ami away. A bright picture without the sombre coloring that accompanied if, is removed from the dusky shadows of the past. “There arc moments in life that are never forpot, * Which brighten and brighten a* time steals away; And they shine on the gloom of the loneliest Th day. httllowetl ‘ ! ^ ^^ U 80 b v 8m,,es and - v The last look of love, and the last parting j Bre & e |JVe r tbe heart Jike sweet from heaven.“ LucIlk.

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. l'i*k nail Oy«ter*.

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. <’o HI |>l Ill It r,.
