The musicals and festival given under the auspices of the ladies of the Tifton Baptist church last night was a very pleasant and successful affair. Lack of apace forbids further comment this week. The Brunswick ami Western rail road has granted excursion rates— half fare—to persons attending the democratic rally at Albany on the night of the IGth ffom stations as far east as Willacoochee. Tickets good from the lGlli to the lfllli in clusive. The Biunswiok and Western rail road lost its little oil room by (ire last night about 11 o’clock. The evi dence seems to favor the idea that it was set on lire by-an incendiary who chose an hour when the night men were busy in a remote part of the yard. Ho did his work well. The road’s loss is variously estimated at from $100 to $150. Key. Dr. E. B.

These hot dog days Hre warming up tiie blood of tlie-colored popula tion and they are killing each other at a fearful rate. One was killed at the Eldorado tie camp, one at Halit m, two in Colquitt county and one at the tank a mile north of Adel, nil within the past eight days. This shows that the natural inclination of a negro is to go buck into barbarism, There came near being a case of accidental suicide at Hotel Sadie Tusday night. A commercial trav eler by the name of Viga who, it '■» said, is addicted to the morphine habit, was discovered under the in fluence of an overdose, of this power ful narcotic; and it was only by the jiersisteiit effort of the gnests of the hotel that he was saved from the jaws of death. Morphine is a drug that should be used very carefully, if at all. Receiver Sparks, of the Georgia Southern and Florida, accompanied by the recently employed mmiignt tion agent, Maj. W.

It is Lowndes county's time to furnish tiie senator —according to rotation—and she [■•resents three candidates, Robert F. Onsley, E. I* Moore and W. W. Webb. We know of but one name that will be rmi for representative and that is H. H. Knight.
