In the morning the two cannon, from Albany arrived and were turned over to Col. A. S. Cutts, who, with Mr. B. P. Hollis bad charge of them. During the evening they were mantled by squads of Col. Cutts’ old artillery company, under Messrs. M. B. Council and T. S. Greene, and right well did the bo.ys do the work. At seven o’eiouk the band, in Prince’s line band wagon, which was gaily illuminated, drove up to the council chatnbor, where the firo companies nnd torch bearers were congregating. In a half an hour the procession had been formed, under direction of Chief Smith, the band started up and the boys begah to move. As they turned the corner and filled the street down the hill it looked like a stream of fire, surging and roll ing from side to side. THE PROCESSION. The following was the order ob served in tile procession : The Band in wagon. Chief Smith and Staff. Wide Awake Kirc Co. No. 1. Transparencies. Heel C. P. Crisp with squad Mechanics Fire Co. No. 2. Transparencies! Cotton Buyers Brigade. Citizens on foot anti in wngons. Transparencies. From the council chamber the line of march was down Lee to Church, up Church to Hampton, up Hampton to Lamar, up Lamar to Cotton Avenue, down tho Ave nue to Forsyth, up Forsyth to the Opera House. Nearly every resi dence on the line of march was beautifully illtiminaied, and the scene was one never to be forgot ten. THE SPEAKING.

Judges Crisp and Hawkins fol lowed in brief remarks, and Hons. Hudson, Hinton, Hinkle, Woolcu, Kdgar F. Hinton and L. F. McCoy. THE FIREWORKS. As soon as the first speaker had finished, the pyrotechnic display began, continuing nearly two hours. The committee in charge of the display wero allotted tho base of the Perry House hill for their ground by tho city author! ties, and were compelled to send their rockets nnd caudles up in certain directions, giving rather a sameness to it before it was over. Tho display was a good one, some of the rockets being especially brilliant. The white and colored lights ignited by Dr. Green were noteworthy. THE SPECTATORS. A.1I day long farmers and their families came in to remain over for the demonstration, and when the city people turned out in the evening the streets were lined on ail sides. It would he impossible to designate or guess at the number in attendance, but it was unusually large ami orderly. The best of order and good humor prevailed, and though the accom modations were not as good as might have been, everybody ap peared contented. After tbc dis play huge bonfires were built that lit up the square, and furnished warmth for the stragglers.

Anuebsonville, Nov. 12.—Quite a number of our citizens went to Macon yesterday, on the “Clave- land and Hendricks train,” which also took up two cars from Klla- ville. The Ellaville car had on top a large canvass sign with tho names of Cleveland and Hendricks printed thereon in large letters. The sight brought tears to the eyes of your correspondent as ho thought how much better Blaine rhymes with Logan, than Cleve land with Hendricks, Friday night we had an anvil chorus, and for a while one was reminded oi war times. Dr. West brook telegraphed to Montezuma for a gallon of Stone Mountain, but tho Dr. said no rad should hove a drop, consequently Repub licans had to quench their vliirst at tho town pump. Messrs. Dunkin fi English are pushing their new store forward as faBt ns possible. It is nearly cov ered, and will be, when completed, the largest store in the city. Messrs. Pursloy A Clark have added glass doors to their store, which is a great improvement, keeping the cold out and letting the light in. The superintendent of the South western railroad is trying to ob tain permission from the govern ment to clear up the land between the railroad nnd cemetery.
