It was our desire to be present at the grand demonstration hereon Tuesday night having received a special invitation. But the task of bringing the Gazette out of the ash es of the late fire prevented and robbed us of much real pleasure. Being called here today we have had the pleasure of witnessing some very interesting signs of the occa sion. From all accounts the dem onstration was certainly the grand est offered by any city in the state. We are pleased to note ma ny improvements and progress in building in the past few months. One of the most important build ings now being erected is the new hotel by Mr F. Guernsey on the the site of the old “Dixie works” lot. In the past few years some of the handsomest business houses in the state have been built here while talking to a warehouseman he said the present crop of cotton is the finest Georgia has ever raised. He was asked to explain and did so by saying he had not seen in all the crop a single stained bale it was all clear of stain, white and beautiful, it a little remarkable that in the principal cotton rais ing part of of the state no rain has fallen since the cotton begnns to open. Such weather lias not been recorded before. Cotton has been spurring up in prices since the elec tion of Cleveland. The figures ran up to 9gc. The young business men of Ma con are live and wide awake to their interest and seek every avail able method to build up a trade. They are abreast with the ago. We note with pleasure the large bus in ess of, T. G. Burke. successor to <0 Burke & Son Mr. Burke is in every sense a first class business mail and liberal in deal ings. lie has one of the handsome eat buildings in the city thoroughly stocked from cellar to first story with material and builders hard ware including a stock of every thing that constitutes a first class business. Paints oils and brushes from the cheapest to the least used by artists he succeeds the old firm with the ha-ppiest prospects for sue cess and prosperity. Ohme & Reynold-! Both these Jyoung men are live; and enterprising. Only a few mouths arc needed to bring them to the leading houses in the city. Our readers;will remember that Mr Reynolds but a few months since came to Barnesville and car ried to Macon one of our most ('farming young ladies. Wo were pleased to see from his crowed store and handsome line of goods that he is on the road to success | and prosperity. Those who are now erecting buildings in Barnes j vide would consult their interest by calling on the firm, They are ■ prepared to make figures on time and iron roofing fitting up for gas and water works. They carry too a handsome line of stoves and espec ially the oil stove now so much earring into use. Another promi- nent firm is. Hays &Manfild dealers in rough anddress'od lumber moulding, shingles laths and build, ing mnierials. Orders sent to this firm will be promptly filled in the | most satisfactory manner. We bad the pleasure of dropping |in at the Macon City Bakery no 4l I cotton Avenue. 1 fere wc found Mr. M Ncwmantl e “Barnesville B iker who unfortunately lost all by the tire here. Wc were pleased to sec a neat room with the counters crow ed with confections, fruits and cakes With the aidofhis charming wife he said he was goingalong and hoped soon to buildup a trade that would support his family. The good lady expressed regrets that she J was so crowded at the time that si e | could not send a handsome cake to Miss Fannie Blalock for her wed-1 ding present. Mr. Newman and I family made many friends in Barne ! ville who regret the fire forced them to seek another place for their fu ture home. P E DINNIB JR. It was our pleasure to be in the office of Mr PE Dennis jr Macons prominent architect and engineer. He took a thorough course in the department at the state University and is well qualified to meet all de mands as an architect or engineer. If such service is needed by our peo pie in rebuilding the; town so recent ly burnt it will be to their interest to call on him. a \v TUP NEB One of the handsomest business rooms we saw in Macon was the store of Mr A W Turner near the book concern of JAY’ Burke & Co.Mr Turner has a complete stock of ci gala; and tobaccos and wholesale to the trade, when you need to bacco or cigars give him a call. Atlanta, Oct. 18th, 1884. J. C. McMictiael— Dear Friend — Wo live in a world of change, of misfortune, of sorrow and disap pointment. He who sows to-day, knows not whether he shall reap good or ill for his labor. A breath may sweep away reputation, or send it flying to the corners of the earth on the wings of scandal. The fruits of a life of toil, devoured in a mo ment of apparent security, by the very clement upon ■which life is pro tectedlrom cold,and without which the food of civilized man could not he prepared, nor commerce across continents propelled. A fair form, full of life, of hope, of noble thoughts and lofty aspirations, in stinct with love and sympathy fbr all that is good and pure in life on earth, to-morrow is cut down like a sheaf by the reaper, and becomes but a clod, such as the “ploughman turns with his rude share and treads upon.” The noble ship which to day' plows its way through the waves like a thing of life,hearing to distant shores it may be, bread for perishing thousands, or abundant wealth for a fortunate few, to-mor row sinks beneath the very ele ment upon which it depended for buoyancy and progress, oris dash ed to pieces upon rocks which guard the entrance to its port of destination ! The thriving City of to-day, becomes the charnel house of some deadly plague, to-morrow. The lovely village, or town of busy 7 and prosperous commercial life, with its stores, warehouses, hotels and all that enter into the make up of an attractive home and well to-do cammunity 7 , presents to-day its lovely exterior to the ey 7 e of the gazer. To-morrow the blackness of desolation marks the spot, and wreck and ruin sit in grim ghastli- ness, as the presiding Deity over the scene. Alas ! tor poor human hopes. “What shadows we are, what shadows we pursue!” How my heart goes out in sympathy to all the sufferers in Barncsvillc but more especially and particularly to yourself. A beautiful little city of yesterday, a mass of cinders ashes and ruin today! Types, which but a few days since, and for weeks, months and years past, spoke through the columns of the Gazette to its thousands of read ers, o life and death, of hope and fear, of trade and traffic, of religion and morality, of crops and prices, of seed time and harvest, etc., a e today but a mass of molten meta', silent, voicch so dumb ; like the hi - man tongue when still in death, it will be heard no m ire, until re cast in another life, beyond the resurrection and grave of earthly hope's. So the type will never weave again into words, until they come forth once more from the moulds of the founder—their resurrection to anew life of activity, of thought and of word. I was surprised an it grieved to see you had no insur ance. How was that? Insurance in a good company, is the resurrec tion of property to life and useful ness again, just as repentance and faith in Christ, is the only insur ance for the human soul, and of its resurrection from the grave to a newer, brighter, and more glorious life beyond. While it is human to grieve over earthly losses and dis appointments, afflictions and be reavements, if we have taken out a policy in the kingdom of Christ, it will matter little in the end wheth or we were worldly wise or not. “All things work together for good to them that love the Lord, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.” 1 know you well enough to believe you will not de spond or cry over spilt milk, but "pick your flint and try again. In Gods own good time Ho will pros per you and give back your loss, if he sees it is for your good. He is the best judge of what is best for us. \W know not. Wo can ■ only plan and fail, and plan again and fail again, but His plans never fail. In hours of gloom and darkness, our chief, and in fact, only conso lation comes to ns from looking up to Him ; and in answer to the pray er of the soul for submission to His will in all things, comes the blessing ofthe Spirit, which enables us to repeat triumphantly, “though he slay me, yet will I trust in Him ; the Lord gave, the Lord has taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord. * * * * I did not hoar of your calamity and that of your little city, until I saw it in the morning paper. I shuddered as I read. I felt a per sonal interest in the loss, as I al ways do sympathise with my friends in misfortune and' rejoice when I hear of their good fortune. When I took up my pencil, it was simply to let fall an expression of my heart-felt sorrow and grief at your misfortune, calamity or Prov idential visitation, nr whatever it may he. My thoughts run away with my pencil, and the reflections which precode are the result. I beg pardon if they bore you, they at least, are not premeditated — they come warm and gushing from the heart. I wish they were coined dollars to aid you In rebuilding, instead of coined words. Su di as I have I give unto thee. May G ed ifies sand prosper you in rich spir itual blessings to more than com pensate for the loss of that which, perisheth by the breath of the flame. You have wile and child dren, home and love, to say noth ing of health, and hope and energy left you. You are far from being desolate. This is written in much pain. It is more than I have written in sev eral months. My right shoulder has been much out of gear this whole year, in fact for several years some detect in the shoulder lias produced extreme nervousness and partial paralysis of the hand and lingers, But this year it has pained me at times and gets worse each week. Now I have no strength in my right shoulder, cannot lift any weight higher than my head. It took a great occasion, or such an excitement as your misfortune furnished to nerve me to the effort of writing even a page. -<► Alden’s Literary Revolution. John 11. Alden’s Literay Revolu tion though, possibly, not making so large a “noise” in the world as three < r four years ago when its re markable work was new to the pub lic, is really making more substan- tial progress than ever before.
