A Modern Fable.
There was once a Long-Headed
Man, who invented a Household
Utensil of such general Utility that
instead of giving it a Name, setting
forth an Intelligible Idea of its Chni-
acter, lie called it simply a Good
Thing. So proud was he of his Good
Thing that he would not make its
Existence known in the Press. “If
People will not come in and ask for
the Good Thing,” he would say, “I
don’t propose to go to the Trouble
of Telling Them about it. If People
don’t KnoWIt when they see It, they
must Suffer the Consequences of their
Blindness.” When a Mortgage was
Foreclosed on him a Little Later, the
Successful Bidder Advertised the
Good Thing in Several Papers, and
he had Difficulty in securing a Suffi¬
cient nnmber of men to Fill the Red
Wagons that Backed Up at his Door.
The Moral of this fable is in the pos¬
session of our Advertising Agent, who

Beauty to all inquiries on receipt of

A cotton bagging convention which
assembled in New Orleans on Wedr
ae*iay, in response to the call of the
itew Orleans cotton exchange, dis¬
posed of the bagging question
promptly and effect uafiy, after a very
thorough discussion of the matter.
There were present delegates from toe
New York and New Orleans, Augusta,
Memphis, Mobile, Meridian, Mias.,
Jackson, Miss., and Selma, Ala., ex¬
changes, The Savannah, Houston,
Shreveport, Helena, Ark., «nd Cin¬
cinnati exchanges had written that
they wonlS send delegates, but the
latter did not turn up in time for
Wednesday’s meeting. Besides the
delegates from the cotton exchanges
there weropresentthe following state
commissioners of agriculture : J. T,
Henderson, of Georgia; R. F. Kolb,
erf Alabama; John Hoard, of Tenn.;
M. F. Locke, of Arkansas, andT. J.
Bird, of Louisiana, as well as L. F.
Livingston, president, and J. H.
Turner, of the Georgia Farmers’ Alli¬
ance; R. J. Sledge, chairman of the
cotton committee, of the Texas state
alliance; R. C. Patty and J. H. Bea¬
man of the Mississippi Farmers’ Alli¬
ance and A. T. Clayton, of the nation¬
al cotton committee of the Farmers,
Alliance.
The following resolution was offer¬
ed :
That on and after the first of
October, 1889, all cotton shall be
sold at net weight, allowing 24
pounds off gross bales weight and for pounds tare off on
jute covered 16
for tare on cotton covered bales.
Cotton covering to be of standard
weight, % of pound to yard. , ” 1
The resolution was submitted to
the convention and adopted unani¬
mously, some of the delegates vot¬
ing for it with the proviso that they
would have to resubmit the matter
to the exchanges they represented.
The convention then adjourned to
meet again at night and discuss the
questions of classification and other
matters.
The state commissioners of agricul¬
ture and members of the alliance met
in the gallery of the St . Charles ho¬
tel and discussed the action taken by
the convention. All of them were sat
isfied, indeed enthusiastic, and
thought the convention had fully
and definitely settled the bagging
question.
Mr. Henderson, commissioner of
agriculture of Georgia, said that the
farmers had got just whatthey want¬
ed. The difference in tare allowed
between cotton and jute bagging was
ample. The convention was strong
enough to compel the general adop¬
tion of the system proposed by it. It
had beenliarmonious and unanimous
and the merchants present had
shown a disposition to fully co-oper¬
ate with the farmers in this bagging
matter.

Monday —4 Company Said
to l»e Formin*.
The members of the council gather-
ed together at the city ball yesterday
evening, but adjourned without be¬
ing called to order. The meeting
was colled for the purpose of consid¬
ering bids for lighting the city by
electricity, but there were no bids in
the hands of toe mayor. The electric
companies are all averse to running
plants, although several letters-have
been received from parties who want
to make sales outright.
Still, there is a slight ground of
hope, at present no bigger than a
man’s hand, though it may grow.
The council only adjourned over un-
til Monday, when it is thought that
an acceptable bid will be received. A
local company is said to be forming,
and it was thought that it was com¬
pleted yesterday, but there was a
break i n th e current somewhere and
it failed to connect. Efforts in that
direction are still progressing and
prominent councilmen think that
they will culminate in success by Mon¬
day. Thecouncil is becoming more
of a unit on the subject in the mean¬
time, and have pretty definitely de¬
termined how much they will pay.
They are willing to pay a reasonable
price for lights of either the West-
inghouse or the Thomson-Houston
kind, but will not pay anything ex¬
orbitant. •
The Mayor offered to bet five dol¬
lars the lights would be in operation
by sixty days, but quickly took the
back track when his offer was accept¬
ed and wanted to amend to ninety
days. No bets of the kind could be
found among the council or else¬
where. ' u '

We will get electric lights yet—may¬
be this year, maybe some other year.
Just at present, however, we are
where Moses was when the candle
went out.

At the meeting of the county com-
missioners Monday, the tax levy of
Bibb county was fixed at .85 of 1
per cent, for, the year 1889. This
rate is the highest that Bibb county
has had for a long time, and the
main reason for it is the great ex¬
pense that has attended the Wool-
folk case, and it was deemed a mat¬
ter of necessity. The amount neces¬
sary to raise is 1110,000. It is an
increase of 5 mills, which will raise
$8,000. The total sta te and county
levy for Bibb county this year will
be 1.25. • <4
