A prominent man from Sandy Ridge tried Jackson with three hales of cot ton and McDonougli with three bales yesterday. lie received just j cent more in McDonough than in Jackson, all the same grade of cotton. No doubt about it, McDonough is the best cotton market in all this country, tak ing the season through and through. That beautiful planet which you can now nightly see gHttering so in the heavens is Jupiter, said to be equal in size to aliout 1,300 worlds the size of our gloJie Astronomers say that on a moonless night nearly 3,000 stars can be seen with the naked eye, while with a good telescope more than 50,000 are visible, but none of them are compara ble in beauty and brilliancy with Ju piter. It is truly remarked by an ex change that every town is ju3t what its citizens make it 1 hey are its life-blood \Y liatever its reputation, good or had, it has been made by them. The toil is for them and to them comes the re sult. No man helps his town without Jieiiefitiiig himself. If cit'zeus a'e sluggish, the town is correspondingly slow. If they are active aud pushing, the *owu grows and they grow with R. NELSK TOMLINSON Cremes Trouble Again anil (Jets n a Sou ml Thrashing. - Sheriff Glass lias had more trouble with Nelse Tomlinson, hut this time while he was behind the bars. On last Sunday Morning the Sheriff was detained in Atlanta until the morning train, not arriving here until a short while before 8 o’clock This caused the prisoners to he later than usual in getting their breakfast, which angered Nelse to such an extent that he was abusive and insulting in his re marks when breakfast reached him. The Sheriff reproved him, telling him to behave himself or he would he pun ished. At this Nelse flew into a rage, threw his bucket on the floor and cursed the Sheriff in a most daring manner, until it was more than Sheriff Glass could bear, when lie laid hold of the refractory negro and gave him a genteel beating over the head with the large jail key. This subdued him, and he has sinco apologized and not only given no further trouble, hut is one of the most humble prisoners in jail. He states that he is sorry lie act ed so, and does not know what caused him to do it. Sheriff Glass regrets that his temper got the best of him, as he always re grets to use harsh means with his pris oners, but in this instance i.o man scarcely could have controlled himself. The Sheriff had been informed by an ex-prisoner that there was a plot among the present inmates to over power him the first oppertunity and liberate themselves, w hich has caused him to keep an extra close watch. It is thought that Nelse’s failure to obtain this opportunity probably di appointed him aud caused him to give way to this fit of anger, lie is a dangerous man, whom it is always unsafe to hud dle. Theie is an unusually large number of prisoners m jail, some of whom are charged with grave crimes, and too much care cannot be exercised in watching them. Our Cotton Market. Mr. Hal Barham was in the city one day this week, and, we learn, stated that McDonough was paying better prices for cotton than any market in his section, Griffin not even excepted. Another instance that goes to show the superiority of our market is a transac tion of Mr. 11. B. Neal firing the week, lie carried some cotton from his Meriwether plantation ,n Griffin, where he was offered 8 cents for it, but shipped it over the Georgia Mid land to McDonough, aud got cents. Still another significant fact is that Mc- Donough’s buyers are resident citizens. Other places, some of which receive even less cotton, have foreign buyers, but whenever these men come to Mc- Donough they remaiu only a few days. They simply find our home buyers too much for them and abandon the field. We could say more, hut it is useless— those who have cotton to sell can see at once where to bring it. I>r. Ilawley. Just one week ago Dr. Hawley ar rived in the city with his patent medi cine and free minstrel accompaniment —and since that time such sights, per haps, have never before been witnessed in McDonough. Immense crowds have thronged in each night, until it seems unaccountable where all the people come from. No one would have thought they were in and aruund McDonough—indeed, the public'squaie is laterally packed. Aud the doctor has managed these large crowds with remarkable success. As regularly as night comes they have enjoyed themselves and gone home pleased. If the doctor has had occa sion to reprove he did so in such a gen tle manuei as to offend no one ; yet he is positive and has the very best of or der, for which we have heard warm expressions of approval. Not the slightest disturbance has been heard so far, and everything has passed off pleasantly. His medicine, too, has sold at a won derful rate—indeed, from the quantities he has dealt out, it would seem that there was not a single sound person in the community. Everybody has bought it—or words to that effect. And the end is not yet —still the crowds come and still the medicines go.
