Crittenden died at her residence in this county, four miles west of Dawson, last Monday afternoon alter an illness ot one week, and wap buried at Ward’s Station yes- terdny, Rev. P. S. Twitty perform ing the funeral services. Mrs. C. was about to years of age, and a most intelligent and worthy Chris tian lady. Her death wilt be sadly felt and much regretted through out the county, and especially in tbe vicinity of Grave’s Station, whe r e the resided. Mr. John Martin, of this county, died at bis residence, two miles northeast of this place, at 11 o’clock last night, of something like cancer ia tbe head. He was sixty-odd years of ago and ha* been a sufferer for several years. He was a good husband and father, a faitbfhl friend, a good man and citizen, and leaves many relatives and tritnds to mourn his loss. He will be interred in the Dawson cemetery this afternoon. Mr. Thos. L. McGehee has sold his plantation, crops and stock, and will leave old Georgia in a few days for the we9t. He intends locating near San Antonio, Texas, and engaging in tbe beef business. We wish him unbounded success in his anticipated enterprise, but regret to lose so good a citizen from onr county and State. Mr. E. 0. Paschal, formerly of our city, now of Eatonton, Ga., is on a visit to his uncle, Dr. W. C Paschal, and is accompanied by bis beautiful young wife, nee Miss Mattie Turner, daughter of W. H. Turner, Esq., of this place. This is quite a young couple, as gay as larks, and are heartily welcomed to oju city- by llidir relative* and' many friends, notwithstanding they took us by surprise. Uucle Jacob Reed has just re turned from Talbott county, and will remain in onr city with bis son in-law, Judge W. F. Orr, through the winter, as usual. He ptssed the summer months in Wilks, Columbia and Talbott coun ties with his sons and other rela tives, as has been his custom lor several years past. Every man, woman and child in Dawson loves “Uncle Jake,” and is delighted to see and talk with him on his re turn from his summer trips. He says the drought has been more severe in Talbot than here; that they have had no rain for nine weeks, and that erops of all kinds are seriously injured. He says that the scuppernongs dried up and fell from the vines before ma turity; and even the muscadines in the swamps withered on the vines and could not be eaten. He says be never saw nor heatd ot such a thing before, and be is—but I will not tell bis age, ns be is a widower. J. A. F. THE AHItICllLTI HAL SOCIETY Takes Ike Georgia Display at the Ksposltlon lu Their Hands. GEORGIA’S MILITARY. ▲ Canventlan ta ha Held In Atlanta ■•▼emher tik, Atlanta Journal. A general meeting of all the Georgia volunteer posts has been called by Post No. 1 of Savannah by resolution of the executive council, to be held in this city on the 6tb of November. There is quite a noticeable revival of inter est in military affairs throughout the state at present. Since the reorganization of tbe vol unteer system there has never been such unanimity of sen timent and expression as to the necessity of immediate action for tbe proper equipment by Georgia of her volunteers; snd it is believ ed that (ue sense of ber people will demand of the coming legisla ture prompt and effective action. At the convention mentioned above it is expected that the nec essary legislation will be mapped out. A meeting of tbe military com panies of this eitr will be held at the Gate City Guard’s armory foi tbe purpose of selecting delegatee to tbe convention, on Fridny even ing next nt elgbt o'clock. At the meeting of the State Ag ricultural Society committee in Atlanta last Tuesday, they decided to take the Stale display at New Urleans in their hands. The At lanta correspondent of the Macon Telegraph has the following about it: The committee then proceeded to the discussion of tho proposi tion tbut the State Agricultural Society should make the State ex hibit at the New Orleans Exposi tion. Thu matter was discussed long and earnestly. Major Bacon, the United 8tatcs commissioner for Georgia, appeared before the committee and made a full state ment of his work, tho obstacle^ lie bad met with and appealed to the society to come to the rescue. Ho was followed by Col. Davidson, ot Augusta, commissioner for the Tenth district, who made a most eloquent address on the same sub- jecl. Governor McDaniel, who was present, also addressed the committee, urging it to tbe same action. The committee then enter ed into a vigorous discussion nf the matter, speeches being made by tbe president and secretary, by Capt. R. J. Powell, of Barncsville; Dr. Jones, of Burke; Col. Mobley, Mr. Peter W. Martin, of Newnan; and others. Mnj. Coupcr, com missioncr Iromihu First and Judge Henderson, commissioner of agri culture, addressed the commit tee. For some time it looked doubirul if the executive com mittee would tako any steps in the matter at all, as the idea seemed general that an assumption of tho responsibility of making tbe state exhibit would involve the society in debt and force it to draw too largely on its own treasury. Final ly, after tho session had lasted till nearly 8 o’clock, the matter was disposed of by the following reso lution, offered by Captain Powell, of Baraesville: Resolved, That tho State Agri- cultural Society, with tho co-oper ation of Major Bacon, United Slates commissioner, make a state exhibit at the New Orinme^Expo siti -n, provided it can he done without expense to tho society .save where tho fund expended is dorived from private subscriptions made specially for that purpose. That a committee bo appointed to canvass the state for private subscriptions. , Farther, That if the society ob lain fiom tbe next legislature the $2 500 heretofore appropriated for ihe slate fair, so muoh of it shall he devoted to the New Orleans ex bibit as may be needed to make tbe amount raised by private subscrip lions equal to the amount required It was further resolved to ask the officers of the agricultural so cieties of each county to take sub scriptions for the New Orleans exhibit. The resolution was based upon the estimate that in addition to all tbe other resources now at tbe command ol Commissioner Bacon, and aficr tho exhibit should be placed aboard the cars at Mtcon after tbe State fair, lor transmis sion to Now Orleans, it would still required $2,000 lodehay expenses; that is, io addition to th: amount now iu hand. This sum, it is pro- prosed shall be raised by the Agricultural Society. The com mittee are to report in tea days, and if the amount cun bo raised tbe society will make a definite proposal to Major Bacon to take charge of the exhibits. The fol lowing committee was appointed: L. F. Livingstone, P. W. Mar tin, of Newnan; J. R, Hollis, Ma con; J. L. Fleming, of Augusta; Pierce Horn, of Dalton; J. II. E«- li 11, ol Savannah, and U. H. Jonts, of Gainesville. It is a lino working committee, and it is hoped they will lie able to make a favorable report at tbe eud of ten days. A TOLEDO EPISODE. Procsitlou muU th* Uulll*** The Tobacco Outlook. Danville, Va., Oct. C At a meeting ol the Tobacco Associa tion this evening, Capt. Thomas J. Talbot was elected president. Capt. Herrandon tbe retiring presi dent. gave the figures of trade re cently sent out by the Associated Press, and added a statement that the acreage ot last season in Vir ginia and North Carolina was greater than the average acreage by about 20 per cent., and ibe yield about90 percent of an aver age yield, and that tbe slock of old tobacco in tho market was unusually short. Tbe conclusion was that there was a fair prospect for next year for tbe planter and dealer. In proportion to population, say* a Toledo (O ) special of Oct. 1. it is questionable whether there has been seen in Ohio such a dem onstration ns was msde by both parties in Toiodo last night, and there was one feature worthy of commendation, and that was tbe absence of all bitter feeling. There was no collision between the par ties. It is but fair to say that neither need be ashamed of tbe display that rewarded their efforts, but considering-the circumstances, tbe palm of the victory belongs to tbe Lucas county Democracy of being abio io turn out man for man as many torches as tho Republicans. As tlie sun set in tbe west and the shadows fell over tbe city and tbe lake, Chairman Brown started - with the next alleged President around town. They got down on Summit street in trout of the Democratic headquarters, and found tho people so packed togeth er in the streets that the carriage could not get through. Mr. Brown and Mr. Blaine were detained for a good fraction of an hour right under a great banner with tho portraits of Cleveland and Hendricks upon it and in front of a transparency illuminated by an electric light. And while they stood there fa the immense mass of people, boys were engaged iu distributing the Mulligan letter*, crying: “Here’s tho Mulligan let ters. We are distributing to all, because Mr. Blaine, tho Republican candidate for President, says he wants everybody to read them.” Blaine was as white and livid as a piece of chalk during tho trying ordeal. lie stroked his beard ner vously, looked about on every hand, expecting his partisans to raise a cry in his behalf that would drown the annoying outorles of tho Democrats, but nobody oame to his resoue, and Anally he turned to Jim Brown and said: “For God’s sake, Brown, get me out ot till*! Get mo out of tblsl I can’t stand it any longer!” Brown turn ed to him and said: “Why, Mr. Blaine, how can I get you out of this! 1 Look at Iheorowd.” Blaine said: “Well get me out some way; I must not stay here any longer, if I have to get out oftbo carriage.” But, after the erowd in a measure find melted away to sea tho Demo cratic procession, tho carriage woa able to proceed, and tbo Republi can candidate was taken to the platform erected for him on Sum mit street to witness the parade. REPUBLICAN REPEATED. Columbus, Oot. 7—Both rep ib- II.an* and Democrats are making charges that their opponent* are running repeatera into the State. To-day the democratic committee received information from Rion- mond that a large number of color ed men are being imported fro* '.hat eity to Ohio. They received copies of two advertisements out from Richmond newspapers. One ot them reads: Wantid—Two hundred colored miners and laborers, with or with out families, to lie ready to start to start lor Ohm Tuesday, September 22. High wages. J.P.Justis, Employment Agent This enterprising individual off ers greater inducements than are held out in tbe foregoing adver tisement. Wanted—One hundred coal miners to start to Ohio on Tuos- dav .September 80. Wages from $2.50 to $3 per day. J. P. JuSTIS, Employment Agent. Upon tho receipt of these adver tisements it was discovered that a person of tbe samo name of Spice Curlctt, formerly of Baltimore, but now ot Lancaster, Va., and a Ma- lionu politician, is now in towo. Tho democrats say that Curlett came here to locate the “miners.” Curlett is said to hold a position in the post-office department at Washington. John B. Askew, an other Baltimorean, and also a post- office employee, is also in town. All unknown parties, whether demo cratic ol republican, are being close ly watched,and the polls on elec tion day will be guarded as they have never been before, and the chances for the use of money or for committing fraud will be small.
