JoHNi-aEKvir.i.K, Oot. 20.—See a
little cloud in the west, with the
wind from the south, and ruin is
daily expected. Get up and dust,
Now is the time. It is the opinion
of many that if we don’t get rain
soon we will have a great deal of
sickness. In some parts of the
country it is most impossible for
stock to get water. Many of them
have to go miles to get it. Most
ot the water gins and mills arc out
of water, and the steam gins are
crowded. Right here wc will-say
that we have plenty of water, en
gines in fine order; nnd ono of the
best gins in the State, and parties
wanting their cotton ginned oan bo
promptly attended to by bringing
it to us. Our arrangements are
such that we cannot be crowded.
Wc have for sale a good 45 saw
gin in fine order. Also set 8 feet
cast gin gearing that we will sell
cheap. Any one needing such an
outfit can buy them cheaper for
the money than they were ever
sold in Georgia. The gearing lias
been run only one season.
*SWe havo been asked the qncs
tion many times if the contract for
grading the A. I’. A. I.. road was
not let out before the Directors
decided to make it a narrow guage.
This is a question wc cannot an
swer, aswc don’t remember. Many
think it was, and don’t think it
right to pay as much for grading
t narrow as a standard guage, anil
if there is so much difference in
the cost ought there not to be
some in the grading? Will some
one answer?
We hear it reported that tho
road from Jlrainbridge via Outh-
b.-rt will reach Lumpkin before the
Americus, Preston nnd Lumpkin
road does. We don’t know as this
is true, but wc can accommodate
them both. Hurry up, friends,
somqot us are going to hold soma
cotten to ship as soon as tho road
is completed. Many of us expect
to buy our next year's supplies in
Americus, and have them shipped
to our nearest stations, which will
be much cheaper than hauling them
from other places. Everybody over
here likes Americus, hut every
thing is so dry nnd! hot, and the
sand so heavy, many of them won’t
pull their stock so fur. Give us
the road and we will make Ameri
cus headquarters.

Another record has been beaten.
At Cincinnati.! the other day Ed.
Crane, ol the Boston Unions, made
lire longest, throw ol a base ball on
I record. His throw was 135 yards
II inches, nnd was said lo have been
made without the slightest effort.
John Hatfield, formetly of the
New York Mutuals, threw 133
, yards, 1 foot and 7 J inches twelve
years ago, and this was rite longest
throw ever made until Crane’s
performance at Cincinnatti. The
; balls were thrown across the wind
' in both instances.
A NnritsoNvim.k, October 22.—It
would give tno pleasure to comply
with your request to furnish the
RwonDKit with nows from this
point, but it requires tho services
of a skilled reporter to find news
where there is none to find.
There is a great deal of sickness
in the neighborhood *f Anderson-
ville, and the physicians complain
of being overworked. Pr. West
brook hardly gets time for necessa
ry sleep, there being but few nights
that he is not called up to visit
some sick person, frequently miles
in the country.
It has been over two months
since wc had any rain, and farmers
are gloomy over the prospects for
the future.
Guano agents are about scraping
up wbnt little the farmers managed
to save this year, and obtaining a
firm grip on next year’s as well
There was a slight shower south ol
hero just after the news from Ohio,
and no doubt after the November
election we shall have an abundance
of rain and all the good things
moistmc promises for Southwest
Georgia.
The Ueunu Vista railroad appears
to be prospering. I am told four
car loads of cotton bavo already
been shipped through from Ellavillc
to Macon. 1 can learn of none
having gone to Americus. Tho
freight to Ellavillc is also quite
heavy, frequently as much as the
baggage car will bold.
Business at Andersonvilie is fair,
but not what it ought to be. Talk
of a hotel still continues, but tho
man with the monoy has not been
found. If some one from abroad
would come and make the invest
ment, Andersonvilie would not
object to reap the advantage from
the enterprise.
A W AR TV THE DEATH.
Ib BllteriteM.
NbwYobk, Oot. 20 The rail
road war between the Western
trunk lines still continues, and the
Erie Company to-day announced
that it would to-morrow meet the
reduced rates of the Central and
West Shore Roads. The predic
tion is mado that tickets will yet
be sold to Chicago for $5 each.
The Post says: “The newa of
the morning arc all in favor of a
depression of prices. It is report
ed and believed that the West
Shore has contracted to take grain
from Cbieago to New York at 7
cents per bushel. There seems to
be no prospect of an immediate
improvement in the war ol passen
ger rates cither between Now York
and Chicago or west of the tatter
point. Buffalo dispatches this
morning say that the New York
Central officials have ordered a
reduction of passenger rates to
one-half from Chicago to the Mis
souri river. Tho passenger rates
are in quite ss discouraging a con
dition as far as the war in rates
between the trunk lines east of
Chicago is concerned. It eoems
to bo coupled with the purpose to
break down ail prices in order to
get possession of certain stocks, of
which Jersey Central is ono, that
being the key to the local trade
from New York and points East.
It is apparent that Reading can
not hold control of Jersey Central,
owing to its own increasing finan
cial embarrassments. A note of
Reading for $750,000, due Oct. 15,
is reported to have been only half
paid, and the company has no
other collaterals which bankers are
willing to take to extend the bal
ance.
DAWSON DOTS.

Augusta, Ga., Oot. 20 The
dislingiiishud physician and snr-
gron, Dr. L A. Dugas, expired at
8:15 Sunday morning in his sev
enty.ninth year, after an illness ol
two weeks. He was born in
Washington. Ga., in 1806, and,
after completing bis education in
America, spent tbreo years in Eu
rope in the prosecution ot his med
leal studies, paying particular at
tention lo the branch ol surgery.
For a number of ycais he edited
the Southern Medical and Surgical
Journal and contributed a large
number of valuable and original
papers, among which are the differ
ent diagonis of the fracture of the
shoulder and the heroic treatment
of woundB in the nbdomcn. He Is
the only physician in America who
has accomplished the ligature of
tho ircliiatic artery for aneurism.
He wus one of the founders of the
Medical College of Georgia and its
deal, for 2(1 years. The funeral
was from his residence on Broad
street at 11 o’clock this morning,
and wus largely attended by the
citizens, facilities and slnue.its of
the medical college and Kic'nnond
