Albany seems to get ber full sup

judging from the amount Jake

When the first rumble ol distant

“In three years you will sec
Americus have another railroad

There is a young man on Lamar
street wbo is anxious to buy some

Mrs. A. C. Bell returned from
Indian Springs Thursday night,
after a few weeks sojourn. Tbe
trip proved very beneficial to her
health, which has been poor for
some time past.
Tho thermometer at Toole, Mc-
Qarrnh & Tondee’s warehouse
registered nt noon yesterday 88,
and Thursday 94, the difference
being probably due to the ap
proaching rainstorm.
Cspt. Bell nays there is one thing
about tlie artesian analysis that is
peculiar. There is no iron men
tioned in tlie analysis, and he
knows very well there is over tbreo
hundred feet of it in the well.
The Constitution says that dogs
lose the power of barking in Suri

When ho returned to his seat in
the theatro and said he had just
stepped ont to see some one, she
gravely responded: “It must have
been the Kvil One;” and when tbe
young man asked if she saw the
cloven foot, she turned up her
pretty noso and said: "No, but I
smell the cloven breath.”
We arc pleased to learn that Mr.
T. J. Stapleton was not dangerous,
ly injured in Thursday’s runaway.
His collar bone was broken, and
the right sido of his face was pretty
badly bruised and scratched. Tho
injuries, for a man of bis ago (he
being nearly 70 years old,) though
severe, were not so serious but
that he was ablo to ride home
Friday evening.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. W. F.
Jowcrs, the Webster county cotton
king, sent in a 6-mule team loaded
with 8 bales of cotton, aggregating
3,890 pounds, and a double team
with two bales weighing 324 each,
making a grand total of 4,814
pounds, all the bales being neatly
done up. This was tbe biggest
load brought into town during tho
past week.
The intensely hot, dry and very
unseasonsble weather now prevail
ing is favorable to disease. Too
much vigilance cannot be used in
keeping the health of the city good.
Ooe life is worth moro than all the
income of the city. Ooe epidemic
would injure our educational and
general interests terribly and al
most beyond repair. Wherever an
evil smell lurks there is danger to
health and life, and danger that
may develop into disastrous reali
ty at any moment. Let the Board
of health, the police, the city bauds
and every citizen observe, closely,
and wherever the atmosphere is
offensive report it ami see that the
evil is corccted. A taint in the
air Joit now is more dangerous
THE ARTESIAN ANALYSIS.
Borne time ago Captain A. C. Bell
sent to Professor White, state
chemist, a sealed iug ef water from
the artesian well on the southeast
corner of the square, for analysis,
and this week be received the fol
lowing from tbe Professor:
«rain* p-r
V. (*. Ofi.
Carbonate of Soda fl 322
Chloride of Sodium 1300
Chloride cf Pot aaiuin 0.114
Sulphate of Soda 0.052
Sulpbato of Lime 1.015
Sulphate of Magnesia 0 120

Orgnnio matter and combined
water 1.120
Total aolida dissolved—grains
per gallon 10.769
Sulpherreted Hydrogen 1.25 cnbic inch
es per gallon.
This water has the general com
position of Artesian waters of
considerable depth, with tbe addi
tion of an unusually large quantity
of sulpherreted hydrogen gas in
solution. Tire quantity of mineral
matter held in solution is not
large, but it is sufficient to impart
mild medicinal qualities to tbe
water. The sulpherreted hydrogen
is also a valuable medicinal agent.
I should class this water as an
alkaline sulphur water. It proba
bly would act medicinally as an
aperient aud alterative.

Dooly Farming.
Late Thursday afternoon a four-
mule team drove up to Harrold &
Johnson’s warehouse and discharg
ed a load of cotton which was
brought all the way from tbe Gus
Morgan farm in Dooly. Messrs.
Gus and William H. Morgan run
the former Beale plantation, and
make splendid orops of cotton,
corn, etc. The driver informed a
Recorder man that his present
load made twenty bales delivered
in two weeks, and that he had not
got good under way yet. In a h .s
ket he brought a sample of “ole po’
lan’ nubbins” to feed on. The re
porter asked Mm had he made
plenty of such. “Humph ! Yer
orter see our bottom Inn’ corn
Yes, snh, we has made plenty an’
ter spare.” One excellent feature
ot the Morgan management is the
way their cotton is baled. There
aro no ugly, ragged ends to invite
tlie town cows to sample. They
are done up ns neatly as an express
packago. Mr. Adams informs us
that they bale tbeir shucks in the
same manner and send them to the
warehouse to be marketed. This
should be a pointer to other far
mers.

The long-wishcd-for, fervently-

evening, and it looked for a time
as if it was trying to make tip for
its long absence in a few minutes.
It came down as il it was in a hurry
and wanted to get through tbe job
so ns to cover the suffering territo
ry that was waiting for it as rapid
ly as possible. It poured down as
if nnxions to atone for its long
absence and was glad to get back.
After its first transport of joy it
subsided into a more gentle mood
and gladdened the hearts of a hot,
dusty aud dry people by its moist
ure. Wc liavo every reason to be
lieve that it brought with it health
and comfort to all. It will prob
