Yesterday a Recorder man came across Davis, the book agent who won the fitly hour walking match in Savannah some weeks ago. He is a slim, dark and short little fel low, about five feet two inches tall, and weighs 125 pounds. Wiry and muscular, he seems cut out for a “stayer.” He is entered for the three days walk in Macon, at the Slate fair, and when we met him he was conversing with Messrs. Smith and Leals, the Americus boys who are entered for the same race. He ofiered to bet $10 that be would beat Lewis ten miles tn tbe three days, but did not care about risking any money that way against Smith, as lie said Smith looked too thin.

We find tbe sewer conducting the filth from the jail too small, frequently becoming so obstructed as to cause the filling up of the same and causing an overflow at tbe top—being delete rious to the health of the inmates. We recommend the commissionei H to remedy the evil at once. We also recommend the replacing all the blinds now missing from the Windows. 8.
