City Flection.
The municipal election for the oitv
of Tifton, to choose a mayor and
three council men to serve two years,
passed off very quietly last Monday.
The following ticket was elected:
Mayor—G'. W. Fill wood.
Councilmcn— H. 11. Tift, E. I
Bowen and B. T, Cole.
Capt. John A. Phillip’s name was
scratched from the ticket, as publish
cil, and that of Mr. B. T. Cole substi
tuted by a majority of the voters for
the sole reason that the former gen
tleman is now u member of tlie Board
of County Commissioners and liisdu
ties in thut capacity would prohibit
his meeting with the Council at the
time fixed by tlie city cliarte
There was not the slightest person
at feeling in the mailer. The fact
of liis being a county commissioner
was overlooked when Capt. Phillip'
nume was placed on the ticket. The
substitution of Mr. IJ. T. Cole’s name
is entirely satisfactory to the citizens
The affairs of the city has been
placed in good hands for another
year, and the Gazette predicts
smooth sailing, witli a fair wind, for
the ensuing twelve months.

Piano Fund Benefits.
The young people of Tifton gave
a delightful concert last Friday night
ns a benefit to the “Piano Fund.”
The music; both instrumen'al and
vocal, was excellent. Mr. E. II.
Tift’s recitation of “Jimmy Builcr
and the Owl” brought down the
house. “The woes of an editor,”
laughable original farce, was neatly
presented by Mr. John Padrick, as
the editor, and the company. Mrs,
Jarley’s wax figures were presented
by Mrs. E. II. Tift and the company
of young people with better effect
than we have ever seen them before
—and we have seen them a number
of times in larger places than Tifton
Of the music none was more appro
ciuk-d than the vocal solo, will
guitar accompaniment, by Mr. Albert
Lutz, a recently acquired citizen
from Pittsburg, Pa. The young
people were greeted by a fairly good
audience unJ a neat little sum was
realized for tlie fund.
Prof. Kessler’s famous string band
from Macon was here on Monday
and that night gave a benefit for tlie
same purpose. The music was fault
less hut, owing to the exceeding in
clemency of tlie weather, there was
only a small nudicncc present to
hear and appreciate it. In conse
quence, as a benefit; the performance
was a failure.

also, that-considerable change for
the better is to he made in the ar

Tlie people of Tifton welcomes
Host Seymour right heartily, and

Tho editor is in receipt from tlie
University Publishing Company a
couple of volumes of a school histo

series-one a primary and the other a
high Bohool edition.
Wo have not hud an opportunity
to examine them critically, but snf-
ficieiitly to determine that both are
exceedingly meritorious for the pur
pose for which they are intended.
They are hy u southern author—
Prof. H. E. Chambers, of Tulane
University, New Orleans, uud while
tlie events are written from a south
ern standpoint the author exhibits
an effort to give an impar
tial nartativf, doing ample
justice to every section of our great
country, as well us to the leading
characters whose lives make up her
history to a great extent.
Both volumes are copiously illus-.
truted and neatly printed. Tlie au
thor makes no attempt ut elaboration,
the facts und incidents are happily
collated und told in a very pleasant
style that is calculated to guide tlie
intelligence and shape tlie thoughts
of the young minds. Tlie author
lias divided liis history into five
periods, » e., disoovery, settle
ment, colonial growth, revolution,
and independence. One will Imre to
examine the books mid the author's
treatment of these divisions to appre
ciate them. It will he noticed that
tlie history logins with the discove
