A LITERARY EXHIBIT.
As in these days of newspapers
and magazines the intelligence of a
p *ople is judged by the extent and
character of their reading, the Ccm-
missioner of the CeorSiu Bureru of
Innuigfation lias decided to make n
s|H>cial exhibit in his car of the
newspapers and other periodicals
published in Geargia, believing that
they will compare favorably with
those of any other State in the
Union. He therefore requests the
publishers of the State to send Dim
a srmple copy of their publications
by the 20th day' of August, and ho|ies
for a prompt and full res|ionse, as
he would not willingly omit a single
publication. PublishersofDaily and
Weekly papers will please send a
sample copy of each. Address all
papers to W.L. Glessner, Commis¬
sioner of Immigration, Americus,

GENERAL ITEMS.
Albany Georgia August 12th 1888.
Dear Enterprise—Since leaving
Ellavllle (the prettiest little town
in Ga.) I have traveled around con¬
siderably, visited good many towns
and passed through a large area of
country, have never seen finer crops
and as a consequence every body is
in a good humor. The merchants
are laying in a big stock of goods
for the Fall and Winter trade, and
that brings happiness to the drum¬
mers; so eve^y thing is prosperous
and the out 1<ok fatuiiig. It
all depends on the farmer, if his
crops fail business is in a state of
stagnation and “viscer verser.” I
stopped over a few days at Blakely
where some of the best people of
Ga. live. It may not be generally
known that here, Is standing the
only remaining confederate flag,
put up in 61. The many storms of
the entervening years had caused it
to lean a little, but a few days ago
the citizens had it straightened and
painted.
“For though conquered they adore it;
Love the cold dead hands that bore it;
Weep for those who fell before it;
Pardon those who trailed and tore it.’’
‘•Treat it gently for ’tis holy,
And it droops above the dead;’’
This flug “wreathed around with
glory,” will bestunding many years
to come, to tell “The story of the
glory of the men who wore the
gray.”
Cotton through this section has
rust very badly but it will not
prevent a large crop being gather¬
ed; every body will make as much
corn as “Carter had oats.” and that
is the salvation of the country.
Cel. Robinson A Wade, two of the
oldest merchants in the state, have
been lining a fine business here for
fifty years; their word is as good as
their bond.
From Blakely I took a long hot
ride through the country to Damas¬
cus; W. J. Webb A Bro. and High¬
tower A Co., are the leading mer¬
chants at this place and are doing
a good business. Here we met Prof.
Grubbs who is traveling through
this Co. in the interest of the Shell-
man Institute, which school reflects
credit ou the teacher aud jseople of
that progressive little town, and
right he:e we will say, that this is
one of the most enterprising towns
we have ever seen, her citizens are
energetic, thorough-going and al¬
ways “get there.” Crittenden Bros,
were for a long time the only mer¬
chants in the place and up to a few
years ago there was only their lit¬
tle store, business lias increased ev¬
ery year and they have done more
than any one else to build up the
tow’ll and school. M.. Charlie
Cheney hasjust had built an elegant
brick store; he is very popular (es¬
pecially with the girls) and will be
a successful merchant.
We were pleasantly entertained
ay an old HcIiley Co. boy Charles J.
Greene who has cast his lot with
.his |ieople, married a charming lit¬
tle woman and settled down to
make a fortune. He seems as hap¬
py as ’tis possible lor any one to be
in this world.
Reluctantly we took our leave of
Shellmun, her hospitable people and
pretty girls.
Have been in Albany since Fri¬
day; the people are very much ex¬
cited over the yellow fever and
have quaranteined against all the
points in Fla. infected with the dis¬
ease. Car loads of people have
been stopped outside the city, not
a I lowed to stop in the city but car-
ried on to {mints above : every pre-
euutionis being taken to
the fever coming into this st
It is uow the topic of conversation
on the streets, in the cars and every
where else: it is tobe hoped that the
trouble will soon subside.
Your people are fortunate to live
in such a healthy town, free from
all malarial poison, where the germs
of fever cannot live.
I suppose your people are think-
iag and planing for camp meeting
How I would love to meet inv
friends on that occasion, how the
thoughts of it carries me back to
the time when as a Huld I craved
no greater liapppiness than to spend
the four days at Buck Creek cunip-
t round, but years have brought sad
changes. Many dear faces that
u‘c<l to greet us liave passed to the
“shadow land” where congregations
n nr break up and S il ba tis have
I no end, such is life’s sunshine and
shadows ever. I trust you will all
have a good time and a good meet¬
ing, with best wishes for the Enter¬
prise. A Wanderer.

>UR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Rkuulak Corkhpond-
IjINT*
Washington August 10th 1888.
Kepsentative Springer intends
pushing his hill, taxing all products
of trusts, through the House ij pos
sihle. Mr. Springer says his bill-
will bring no revenue to the Gov¬
ernment, hut will speedily Abolish
trusts, pools and combinations
•Senators Allison, Illscock and
Aldrich deny that they Intended
going to New York to consult Blain
about the pirifT bill, which they are
trying toput to getber. Perhaps the
Senatorsdid not intend to go per¬
sonalty to see Mr. Blaine, but they
cannot deny that a trusted messen¬
ger took a copy of the bill, os far as
agreed upon, to him in order to get
his opinion upou lb
The funeral of General Sheridan
will take place tomorrow morning
from St Mathews church, where
his remains have been since yester¬
day. Cardinal Gibbons will con¬
duct the ceremonies. Tne body
will be escorted to Arlington ceme¬
tery, its last resting place, by the
military body provided for by trmy
regulations. Gen. Schofield, who is
now the commander of of the Army
will be in command.
Secretary Whitney has ordered
all the available vessels of the North
Atlantic squadron to the Canadian
fishing grou nds, to look after the
interests of American fishermen.
A howl has raised among those
naval officers who have had soft
snaps in this and elsewhere, on ac¬
count of a new order issued by Sec¬
retary Whitney, directing tne
Board of Chief of Bureaux to review
the list of present details, and re¬
port where officers can be released
from shore duty or stations, with¬
out detriment to the service. This
mans a general shaking up.
John Sherman, in his speech a-
gainst the fisheries treaty, said that
Canada, in less ten years, would be
a part of the United States. If he
really thinks so, why does he waste
time in opposing this treaty. If
Canada is to come into the U nion,
that wil| put an end to all disputes.
Representative Townshend of
Illinois, is very enthusiastic, and
fully expects to carry that state for
Cleveland, Thurman and tariff n -
form. He says every mail brings
him the name of prominent repub¬
licans who will vote the democrat¬
ic ticket this year.
The House committee on manu-
facturs is still working faithfully
trying to put the bottom facts in the
whiskey trust.
Senator Vane turned a stream of
bright humor into the Senate Mon¬
day, when he made a speech in fa¬
vor of the fisheries treaty. This is
the way he puts the republican op*
position to the treaty; All at once it
seems as if while the republicans
were journeying along to Damascus
a great light shone round about
them, and a voice was heard saying
“Why will you not raise a row a*
gainst Great Britain and get tiie
Irish vote? Whereupon they «n-
8 vered“Lord, what wouklst thou
h v s us to do? And the voice again
said “Get thee in aplace called cau¬
cus, and there it shall be told thee
what to do? And so they all assoin*
ble iu that upper chamber, and
there the voice was made manifest
and they were told that their only
chance whereby the might be saved,
was to raise a row with Great Brit¬
ain, appeal to the Irish vote in this
country, and to the votes of others
whose prejudices against that coun¬
try can be made available in the
coining campaign. And that was
t e cot r e adopted.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate to give Mrs. Sheridan $5,000.
The republicans are apparently
n * nearer having a tariff now than
w,;4n were * week ago.
The republican Senators are be-
coming vet*/ in 1 sl» alar.nel over

there is no need of any hurry in
