No doubt the editor of the Gazette
had in his mind the Northern beau
ties of Fitzgerald when lie penned
the above ‘item.—Fitzgerald Leader.
Editor Henry Smith is in ecstacies
over a cologne-scented handkerchief
sent him by a young lady. This is one
scent for a stalk of cane—cosh in

The picture of a certain handsome
and popular doctor in the Worth Lo
cal has taken an “upward” tendency
since the Gazette called attention to
it. Nothing like advertising!
The Junior editor of the Fitzger

can doubtless tell him how to knock
it higher’n a kite.
Quite a number of the handsom

The Ensign Lumber Company has
bought a fine body of round timber
in Dooly county from S. F. Hanks
of Wcllsvillc, N. Y. This timber has

The artesian well at Fitzgerald is
down 450 feet and is progressing
through solid flint rock.
The Progress says Viennais on the

This will, of course, be followed by

The farmers around the Okefeno-

Up in Dooly county some of the

lo candidates. So says the Progress.
Who where they talking to while the
briars were growing ?
Rev. J. W. Hendry, not “Henry,”

recovery.
The Blnckshear Times sayH editor

poisoned, last week, presumably from
eating meat which evidently contain
ed poison of some kind. They all
had a narrow escape from death.
The . people of Fitzgerald have
demonstrated their love for the col
ored brother T>y telling him he is not
wanted in their town and that lie
must move on. This is a sad disap
pointment to the colored brother, who
has always imagined that the north
ern people were his best friends.

The Journal is informed that ne
gotiations are pending, looking to
the purchase of the tract of land ly
ing between the Satilla river and
Seventeen-mile creek, in the western
part of Ware county. It the trade is
consummated a colony of Northern

| near Patoville, She was 75 years old,
j and had been confined to her hod

! of Arabi. A large circle of relatives
and friends mourn the loss of this
i good woman.—Arabi Star.
Farmers are about ready to harvest
j small grain. Not a great amount has
been raised this year in this vicinity
but sufficient to convince colonists
that it can be successfully grown
hero. Fine large heads of wheat, rye
and oats have been sent North to
friends and relatives, by some of our
people, to show what the country
would produce. —Fitzgerald Leader.
RAPID PROGRSES.
LYNCH’S LAW.
Mr. Richard II. Edmouds, the
able editor of the Manufacturer’s
Record, who recently made a trip
through the South, tells the Balti-
tiuiore News of the wonderful ad
vancement being made throughout
this favored portion of the Union.
H# found the output of coal stead
ily on the increase. This si especially
noticeable along the Chesapeake and
Ohio and Norfolk and Western rail
roads, stretching from Hampton out
through Western Virginia. Coal
and timber lands are bding purchased
for development, and many now coal
mines are being opened.
Speaking of the manufacture of
cotton, ho says that by the end of the
present year the South will have
four million spindles, representing a
capitalization of nearly $125,000,000,
againBt 1,700,000 spindles with a cap
ital of $61,000,000 in the census
year of 1880, thus showing an in
crease of over 100 per cent in • the
number of spindles within six years.
In South Georgia, he says the
peacli and watermelon and pear
crops are now safe, and investigations
show that tho peach crop will he
the largest over produced in tho
State. The aggregate value of the
fruit crops of that district for the
year is estimated as high as $7,000,-
000 or $8,000,000, which would give
the railroads a freightage of 15,000
or 20,000 carloads.
The iron industry is on the in
crease throughout the iron mining
districts.
The .whole outlook, says Mr. Ed
monds, indicates a solid development
of the industrial interests, which
are prospering and expanding,
notwithstanding the general com
plaint of hard times throughout other
sections. The farthers are less in
debt than at any time since the war,
and while they are preparing for a
largo cotton crop, this year’s crop
will he produced at the least cost
ever known to the smith.
To sum up, in a few words, Mr.
Edmonds’ cheering observations, the
south is in the industrial saddle,
booted and spurred, and is going for
ward at a pace that leaves no doubt
as to tho final results.
And yet the calamity howlers will
not be comforted.
The Fitzgerald Canning and Tick
ling Co. was organized this week
with the following officers: President
Shutmvuy, Vice-President Plopper,
Treasurer Whjtohard, Sec. and Man
ager Halsey.. The capital stock is
$2,000, with the privilege of increas
ing to $5,000. A location Jins been
secured on the comer of Logan and
Snwanee und the mancliinery ordered
from Baltimore. The plant will
have a capacity of 10,000 cans, per
day if so desired. This limit will
probably not he reached the first year.
—Fitzgerald Enterprise.
If tlie republicans nominate Mc
Kinley and make the tariff question ail
issue, what will tho democratic party
do? Deg the question and engage in
a cat and dog sculllo in its own
ranks on the silver question, or meet
tho tariff issue, and take up its only
possible chance of success?
It may he truthfully said that the
congressional candidates in this dis
trict are permitting no grass to grow
under their feet. Let us hope that
none of them will get so that they can
not raiso the wind.
RACIST run UC—EXCITING SCENES
IN COLUMBUS.
Jesse Slayton and Will Miles,both
colored, wore lynched in Columbus,
Ga., last Monday.
On Thursday of last week Slayton
assaulted a white lady in Columbus,
was arrested and guarded for several
days by the local military j but as no
attempt to lynch him had been made,
the military guard was dispensed
with, and Monday set for the trial.
On that day the prisoner was taken
to a strong building, escorted by a
woll-armed civil guard, and the trial
began. Soon the avengers, to the
number of six-hundred, armed to the
teeth, swooped down upon the build
ing, forced the door, swept the guard
aside, took the prisoner out, marched
him through tho principal street of
the city, shooting him tho while, then
swung him to a limb of a treo and
riddled his body with bullets.
They then wont to tho jail, over
powered tfio jailer took Will Miles,
awaiting trial for the samo offence
committed thoer years ago, to where
Slayton was suspended, swung him
to an adjacent limb aijd riddled him
with bullets. The bodies wore pla
carded thus: “All cases of tho kind
shall be treated likewise.”
Right or wrong, the court of Judge
Lynch will always bo found ready to
sit in the trial of cases of rape.
Deafness Cannot to Cured
by local applications, ns they cannot
vouch the diseased portion of tho ear.
There is only one way to euio deafness,
and that la • by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian Tube,, When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
beuringJund when it is entirely closed
deufnc« is the result, and unless tho
inflammation can he taken out und this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of tho mucous surfaces.
We will give Ouo Hundred Dollars for
any case of DcafnosB (caused by catarrh)
that cannot lie cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
