It W.JtfHDAN weather very pleasant and enjoya ble; and the cool winds will doubt less mitigate, if not stop, the chills, especially in the healthier seotions. The school at Monticello closed on Friday last, and its principal, Mrs. G. V. Johnson, will leave in a tew days for her old home in Chat tahoochee county for recreation. She looks much worn after eight months of incessant toil in the school room. She proposes to open again in January next. Her present close completes the fifth year of her service in the same house, which is evidence of how she is appreciated as an instruc tress by her patrons. The Grange Hall school opened its fall session very satisfactorily, Prof. W. A. Hill still in charge. He is a native of the county, hav ing been born and raised within three miles of his present school room, where, alone, he has estab lished his enviable reputation as an educator. No better school for boys and girls can be found in Southwest Georgia. The yield of the corn and pea crops is entirely satisfactory to formers, but very different with cotton and its market price. Po tatoes and corn are materially in jured by drought. No rain at all io eight weeks; all rcauy and anx ious to plant grain, and more anxious for rain. The proprietors of tho new fish trap, recently erected in Pataula creek, have very little catch yet but like Pat “they are ’speetln' every day for rain when they will catch.” In days of yore a trap in the same spot was very profitable. As yet, only eels have been caught, with a few mud cats. Now that the cotton crop is gathered, and nearly all other crops, the average day hand finds but little work, and tho possum and hog hunting is the order of the night. Wc hear of some sue cess in the hog catch in the com munity and tho hunters jugged, which gives employment to the county court. There is an agricultural club in a neighboring county which seems to be a live working body, and its influence is being felt throughout the county. For the advancement ot this noble calling, its next meet ing comes off simultaneous with Doris’ big show; but I guess the parents will have to take the little ones to see the animals. Quitman.

Macon, Ga., Oet. 20.—A general alarm of fire was sounded last-nigbt at 8 o’clock, and it was some time before the firemen could locate tho fire, but presently dense volumes of smoke began to arise in the di rection of the cotton compress of English A Huguenin. The fire men found the fire to be inside the compress. A large lot of lint cot ton under the pressroom caught fire from some cause unknown and was burning rapidly when discovered. By gallant work the firemen got tho fire under control and saved a largo quantity of cot ton and the handsome compress building from destruction. The loss is estimated to he not over $1,000. THE AUGUSTA FACTORIES. Resumption of the Kuterprlae Mills ob Full Time at Reduced Wages* Auousta, Ga., Oct. 19 The Enterprise Factory, which has been shutdown for six weeks, will com mence running on full time to morrow. The Augusta and King mills are running on full time. Wages have been reduced 25 per cent. The three mills employ 1,800 hands. The Sibley Mill, which employs 600 hands, is undergoing repairs from the recent (ire and I. having additional machi-iery put in. The Algernon Mill is also running. Some other small mills which have been shut down for sev eral weeks, will soon commence run ning at reduced wages. All the mills can run on full time, meet the demands of trade, and come out even in the depressed condition ol the cotton goods trade. All mill men hope to keep running on full time at reduced wages. Uorernor Cleveland Assaulted. Albany, N. Y., Oet. 20.—While on his way to tho executive chum her this morning, Gov. Cleveland was assaulted by a man who after, wards proved to be Samuel T. Boom. The Governor warded ot) the blow which was aimed nt him by Boom. Tho latter then ran for a stone, but was arrested before he could do further damage. Boom’s brother in law is serving a term in the penitentiary, and tiro assault was the result of Gov. Cleveland'■ rslusal to pardon him. Boom’i wife is the woman whn a lew days since created such a seene in the executive chamber when she with her husband called to obtain hor brother’s pardon. It will bo re membered that on this occasion the woman threw her arms around the Governor's neck, and when the latter shook her off she behaved in such an unseemly manner as to compel the Governor to ask his attendant to removo her.

The particulars can he bad of M. A. Dauphin, New Or issa*, La. It has been generally contended that partridges could not be tamed ur domesticated. It seems, how ever, that this is a mistake. Messrs. Fred. F. McComas and George A. Davis, of Hagerstown, having test e-d the matter quite successfully, have succeeded in having that well known wild and hitherto untama ble bird, the partridge, breed in confinement nt the residence of Mr. McComas in Hagerstown. So far as is known to the contrary, Lhis is the first time that it has been accomplished. The birdB were placed in a large cage during the month of March last. The coop was 4x12 leet, and rested on the ground, placing the birds as nearly as possible in the same con dition as they are in their wild and original state. A few days ego the hen bird brought out from the eggs she had deposited in her nest a brood ol nix young. It was as ceitained by actual observation that the male bird- did more than hnlf the incubating. The two-tailed rat has again made its appearance in the dime museums. The animal is not a luaua natural, but the victim of antiseptic surgery. The tail of a healthy rat is cut off and inserted in a V-shaped cut in the nose of a second. Antiseptic dressings are applied, and the four limbs tied to a little frame to prevent scratching the new appendage. Tho second tail "sets” in twenty-four hours, and in four days nervous connec tion is established. Thereafter the rodent guard* iia front tail aa zeal- ouily *• the other. The Congressional Campaign. Psrry Home Journal. There are two candidates for oongress in the third dlstriot. Hon. Charles F. Crisp, who is a member of the 48th Congress, is the Demo cratic candidate for the 49th Con gress. His course in congress during the last session marked him as a man of eminent ability, of thorough information, patriotio in sentiment and action, unswerv ing in his Democratic allegiance, and watchful of the interests of the people of bis eeution. In all his public acts he has been true to bis constituency. He has received the unanimous endorsement of the Democratic party of the district. He deserves re-election, and the Democrats of the district must see to it that Republicanism is over whelmingly defeated on the 4tb of November. Ou tlie first day of October a motley crew of white men and ne groes, oalling themselves represen tatives of the Republican party of the third congressional distnot, as sembled in Hawkinsville and nomi nated one B. F. Bell for congress. Bell was once a resident of Webster county, and for several years was a revenue officer. He then became postmaster at Americus, but was proven a defaulter to the amount of over $2,000, and was removed from that office. He then went to Washington, where all Republican thieves go, and secured a clerkship in one of the departments. lie now comes to Georgia on leave of ab sence to create strife in tho third district, in an effort to array the negroes of the district against the Democrats, their best friends. Will our people, by their failure to vote, allow a thief to be elected to Con gress over an able, worthy manf No, such a thing cannot bo. It is said that Bell lias brought to Georgia a corruption fund of $13,000, with which he hopes to purchase his election to congress. He bases his hopes of election on tho assumption that all the colored peoplo of tho third dlstriot will blindly follow tho lead of tho tin- worthy and corrupt white men in the distriet who call themselves republicans on tho strength of tho offices they hold by authority of the republican administration. It has frequently been demonstrated that the negroes of the third, and other congressional districts in Georgia are not fools. They are not blind to their material inter ests. They know that their white neighbors, democrats, are their best friends, and they have illus truted their appreciation of this fact frequently by voting the dem ocratic ticket, or at least by re fraining from voting the republican ticket. They wilt again demonstrate their good sense, and oil the 4th of November Hon. Charles F. Crisp will be elected to Congress bv a large majority. The Ohio Reform. Columbus, Oct. 18.—Returns by oounties complete do not cbsnge the pinrelities given leet night. Unexpectedly the Prohibition and Greenback tloket increase propor tionately with both of the Demo crats and Republicans. The Pro hibition vote last year was 8,3(2. This year it was 9,510. Tbs Greenback vote last year was 2,- 937. This year It wst 3,760, show ing no coalition, but that the party lines wtre closely followed. The total Prohibition and Greenback vote ia 12,447, or 1,126 more tuan Robinson's plurality. The rest of the Republican tieket has an aver age majority overall of over 5,000. The total voto ia 780,373. Last year it was 715,616. In Oct., 1880, it was 716,186, and in Nov., 1880, it was 724,967. There is no change in Congressmen except an increase of 160 in Romeis’ majori ty over Hurd. ACABD.

Henry Grady tells us the follow ing: “I beard tho history of sor ghum the other day. In 1865 Mr. D. Redmond gave to Mr. Richard Peters a handful of black Beed, wliicli lio had received Irom China. Mr. Peters put them loose in Isis poeket,eating the most of them. One afternoon he was in his garden, and feuling a few of these seeds in bis poeket, scratched a hole and drop ped them in it. The result was re- markable. In a short timo the most luxuriant stalks covered the spot, sweet and thrifty. In a rude mill Mr. Peters produced the first sorgLum syrup ever made. The experiment caused the wildest dis cussion, and scientific men flocked in to see tie wonderful cans. In the meantime Mr. Peters had re- planted and harvested large quan tities of seed. Ilejoined Mr. W. P. Ormc with him and advertised i lie seed for sale in small packuges. The receipts for the same went over $10,000. The American Ag licullurist cartooned Mr. Pe*crs, who bad said that his children loved the cane. The picture rep resented Mr. Peters in a field of cane and young Richard leading the family in climbing the stalks, bile the cows came plunging through the icuce. The next year Mr. Judd made an offer for 400 bushels of tlie seed at $5 a bushel. Mr. Peters let him have it, and a small package was sent free to every new subscriber of the Agri culturist. The result was an ia- crease of 30,000 subscribers in one season. The sorghum was then thoroughly introduced and is now a staple crop in the West and South. If Mr. Peters hadn’t loafed la. the gtrden that Sundsy after noon sorghum might still b* un known to at.” ‘FRpKrT,’ OPERA HOUSE, ONE NIGHT ONLY, THURSDAY, OCTOBER m.
