The Fair at Albany.
The first fall fair of the South West
Georgia Industrial Association was
held at their grounds at Albany last
week. We were on the grounds two
days and a half. Our space will not
admit of a description in detail. We
will only give a few of our impres
sions in a general way.
The buildings and grounds are ex
cellent, —the best and most conven
iently arranged we have ever seen
The management was admirable.—
Every officer of the association seem
ed to be always in his place, and the
right man for the place. Everything
that it was possible to do was done to
make visitors comfortable. So far as
we could see, everything was done by
those intrnsted with the management
of the fair and by the citizens of
Albany, that they could do, to make
it a complete success. And, in most
of its features, it was a complete suc
cess.
The attendance was, we presume,
as large as was expected. The citi
zens of the and county turned
out well, and four excursion trains
brought in large crowds every morn
ing. We heard the number present
on Thursday and Friday estimated
at four thousand.
'Flie display in nearly all of the
departments was good. S. Mayer &
Glauber bad a fine display of dry
goods; Sheffield & Bell of hardware;
the Messrs. Welch of drugs, perfum.
cry, etc. There was a hue display of
needle work,’dowers, drawings, paint
ings, etc. There was a woolen shawl
made entirely by a young lady of
Coffee county even to the shearing of
the sheep.
The display of agricultural pro.
duets, though good so far as it went,
was not so extensive as it should have
been. The exhibition of stock and
poultry was rather meagre. We saw
only about three or four cows, three
or four hulls, and as many calves; —
two yoke of oxen and about thirty or
forty hogs. These were all very fine,
but vve thought there ought to have
been more of them on exhibition.—
This, however, was not the fault of
the managers. The President of the
Association, Maj. L. E. Welch, ex
pressed to us surprise and regret that
our own county did not take down
some of its fine stock for exhibition.
He thought we might have taken
many of the premiums in this line,
and thought, also, tnat the premiums
offered were large enough to induce
us to make the effort. We saw noth
ing ou exhibition from Terrell county
except three fine buggies from Hart’s
factory, and Hon. S. L. Williams’
race-horse, William Whirlwind.
The trotting and running races,
that took place each afternoon, seem
to be the most attractive feature of
the occasion. They were, indeed,
verj interesting and exciting. Some
very fast horses were exhibited and
much money lost and won. Bill
Whirlwind took second money in two
running races.
The race upon which the greatest
interest was centered, the trotting
race of Friday evening, open to the
world, was partly a failure. There
werethree horsesentered,-Alice W est,
Faugh-a-ballaugh and Tornado. Al
ice West won first heat in 2:41 £;
Frugh-a-ballaugh, second; Tornado,
distanced. In the second heat Faugh
a-ballaugh broke down on first round,
leaving the race entirely to Alice
West. The owner of Faugh-a bal
laugh, we were informed, expressed a
belief that he was poisoned. A great
deal of money changed hands on this
race.
The lion. B. 11. Hill was in atten.
dance at the fair, being down this
way on a visit to his plantation in
Baker county. lie was prevailed on
to make a speech on Thursday, and
for three-quarters of an hour he spoke
in his usual eloquent way of South
west Ga., —her resources, capabilities
and prospects.
The press was well represented at
the fair. We met Rev. S. S. Sweet,
of the Savannah .Yews ; J. 11. Jones,
of the Telegraph and .Messenger ;
Triplett, of the Thomasville Times;
llansell, of the Thomasville Enter
prise; Perham, of the Quitman Free
Press ; Tillman, of the Quitman Re
porter ; Ponder, of the Bainbridge
Democrat : Fleming and Blocker, of
the Early county .Yews -and, of
conne, the Weston.--, Evans afld Mc-
Intosh. of the local press.
Capt. S. I*. Weston, of the .Veitw,
is one of the Directors of the Asso
ciation, and was taking that active
and lively interest in the fair that he
always manifests in all public enter
prises
On Thursday night, the members
of the Press, by invitation, took sup
per at the elegant residence of Maj.
Welch, P resident ol the Association.
Hon. I>. H. Ilill was, also, an invited
guest, and his entertaining and in
structive conversation, as ■well as the
pleasant hospitality of Mr. and Mrs.
Welch prolonged the visit to a late
hour.
We think that a long life of pros
perity and usefulness is before the
South-west Ga. Industrial Associa
tion. The two fairs held this year
fully demonstrate the ability and effi
ciency of its management, and we
expect much from it in the future. —
The main point to w'ork to now seems
to us to he to get up an interest in
the matter among the farmers and
stock -raisers of the country; with
that accomplished, its success is as
sured.
The Congressional Race.
While we are all calm and quiet and
as mild as new milk in this district, the
Congressional campaign rages high and
hot in some other localities. Lester and
Felton are still rampant in the seventh.
Gordon is stumping the district very
effectively for Lester, which is said to
so exasperate the Feltonites that they
even sneer at his wounds and call him
“Scar-faced Gordon.” This is the only
point along the line where, from our
stand point, there seems to be any dan
ger for the organized democracy. The
friends of both candidates profess to he
very confident of success. Felton, if
elected, will not have anything like the
majority he had in the last race. There
is, also, a radical rnnning in this dis
trict, but he seems to be attracting no
attention.
Emory Speer started off with consid
erable noise and bluster against the
nominee in the ninth, but, we believe,
that no .apprehensions are now felt by
the democracy in that quarter.
The race of “Farmer Arnold” against
Ilammond in the fifth seems to a calm
and distant looker on simply rediculons
and farcical. The same may be said
of Corker’s opposition to Nichollsin the
first.
In the fourth, no nomination was
made, and, as between Harris and Per
sons, the two democratic candidates, we
have no decided preference.
In our own district, they say that
Wade has been nominated by the radi
cals, and we presume that is about all
we will hear of it in this section.
We hope, however, notwithstanding
tlic insignificance of the opposition,
that all will turn out on the day of the
election and give our nominee a full
vote.
Watlc lor Congress.
It is not supposed that the little cau
cus of radicals that met in Albany last
week and nominated E. C. Wade for
Congress had any hope of electing him.
The object in making the nomination
was simply to preserve the radical or
ganization. The few white radicals yet
remaining in the district, such as Put
ney, of Albany, and Luke, of Thomaa
ville, who have heretofore, with others,
controlled the negroes and kept them
arrayed against the white people are
not yet willing to surrender their power
and influence; and it is solely for the
purpose of keeping up the bitter antag
onism between the whites and blacks
that Wade was nominated.
Wade, we believe, is a carpetbagger.
He was a Revenue Collector under
Grant. Whether he has held any office
since or not we do not know. Wc do
not believe that the few white radicals
of the district can rally the negroes to
his support. Since Whitcly left us
there seem to be no white radicals in
the district that a decent negro has any
retpect for.
A. T. Lyon, Photographer, Al
bany, Ga.
While in Albany, last week, we.
took occasion to look through the
picture gallery of the above well
known artist. Mr. Lyon is one of
the best artist in the state, as the
numerous pictures he has on exhibi
tion will testify. He is a very pleas
ant and courteons gentleman, and
will be glad for everybody visiting
Albany to call on him at his office.—
If you want pictures taken, he will
put them up tor you in as good style
and at as low prices as it can be done
anywhere.
A Radical Out tor Congress.
We learned, while in Albany last
week , that a few- negroes of the dis
trict had met in that city and nomin
ated E. C. Wade, of Quitman, Brooks
county, for Cougress. Wade is a
white man, bqt one of the most ven
om ms and un-cruplous radicals in
the state.
The Yellow Fever.
Notwithstanding the frosts of last
Saturday and Sunday morning, which
extended as far south as Baton llouge,
Louisiana, we notice but little abate
ment in the ravages of the fever. Since
the frost refugees are returning to their
homes, and an increase of cases is ex
pected from this fact. The fever is
now prevailing to a slight extent at
Mobile, which place had escaped up to
a short time ago.
A Touching Instance of Paren
tal Devotion.
When the writer entered the Macon
train in Atlanta last Friday, his atten
tion was arrested by the spectacle of a
wan, sick child stretched upon an ex
temporized pallet on one of the scats.
His waxen features, which were partic
ularly sweet and attractive, indicated
great suffering but wonderful patience,
and we were irresistibly drawn to the
little fellow. By his side sat the fa
ther, a pleasant and youthful-looking
gentleman, who watched each look and
movement of the child and anticipated
with maternal tenderness every possible
want
Was lie uneasy, his position was immedi
ately changed ; did his mouth become
dry, the juice of luscious grapes was
pressed between his lips; if an open
window caused a draught of air, it was
forthwith closed or the covering adjust
ed accordingly. Not a sigh escaped
the lips of the tiny sufferer that was
not heeded, and never have we seen
such sou! devotion on the part of a fa
ther.
Approaching the coup'e we asked the
parent what ailed his darling boy. He
replied, “My son, over a year ago, fell
from a low fence, upon which he had
climbed, and severely bruised Ins right
arm. No bones were broken, however,
nor was there any dislocation. But
soon the limb began to enlarge, and
after several months, assumed a cance
rous appearance. Every remedy was
exhausted in vain, and it became evident
that, to save his life, amputation would
be necessary. Accordingly I repaired
with him to Atlanta from my home in
Dawson, Ga., and had the operation
performed by Dr. Westmoreland. Upon
examination be found there was not
space sufficient between the injury and
shoulder for successful amputation.
He, therefore, resorted to the delicate
and dangerous experiment of unjointing
the diseased limb at the arm-pit. The
operation was skillfully performed after
ether had been administered to the pa
tient.
The father went on to say that the
child bore his affliction with astonishing
fortitude. Long suffering seems to
have preternaturally developed his in
tellect, and he talks like a grown man
On the train the dear little fellow, see
ing the wistful anxiety of liis father,
exclaimed, “how much better it would
be for me to die and relieve you of all
this trouble.” He is an exeeedingly
promising child and endeared to all who
know him. Every passenger seemed
greatly interested in the condition and
history of the brave little fellow, and
to the honor off conductor Renneau it
should be stated, that on one occasion,
when it became necessary to minister
to bis wants, the train was kept stand
ing until he could be replaced in bed
and made comfortable. The chances
of recovery are now very good, but
there is danger of the disease appear
ing again in some other part of the
body.
The name of this devoted and excel,
lent father is 31r. W. G. Aven, of
Dawson, Terrell county, Georgia, and
that of his child, John Edgar, and
most earnestly do we trust that the ten
derness of the parent may be rewarded
by the complete restoration of his
maimed boy, and that be may live to
be great and useful.— Telegraph S>

Swift Retribution —The Negro
Gibes Kiblf.D.— ln Saturday's .Morn
ing .Yews we announced the capture of
Giles, the negro who attempted a felon
ious assault upon a respectable lady
near Bryan Neck, Bryan county, on
Thursday morning, and stated that he
was in the custody of the law. About
eleven o’clock on Friday morning the
husband of the lady approached the
prisoner and before the officers could
interfere, fired five shots at him, four
of which took effect. After doing this
he handed his revolver to George F.
Hart, Esq., the constable, and told
him he was his prisoner. Mr Hart
took him in charge and carried him be
fore Justice Haymans, where he ac
knowledged the shooting and was ad
mitted to bail to await the result of the
negroe’s wounds.
Giles was taken to the school house
at Sweet Hill, where his wounds receiv
ed attention, but be dial on Saturday
morning.
This negro was a notorions thief, and
his last deed showed that he was a vil
lain of the deepest dye.— Savannnah
.Yews.
The Rome Tribune tells this horri
ble story :
Our worthy townsman, Mr. Green M.
Stewart, hail a little child buried some
four years ago on a lot in the cemetery,
by its grandfather. The lot was the
property of Mrs. Hughes nee Miss Liz
zie Roach, an aunt of the child. Lately
some family dispute arose between Mr.
Stewart and the Hughes, and Stewart
was notified to remove the child from
the burial lot where it had lain so long
at the feet of its grandsire. This Mr.
Stewart alleges he was going to do as
soon as the city would grant permssion,
it being against the sanitary regulations
to exhume a corpse in h>t weather,
Stewart had purchased a lot, and had a
place ready for the child, and only
awaited frost to disinter and remove it.
Wednesday we are told Mr. Hughes,
becoming enraged at Mr. Stewart’s de
lay, went to the grave and dug up the
little coffin and threw it on the sidewalk,
to be burst and trampled on by dogs nr
anything else that came. Fortunately
our sexton, Mr. .Tames Mullens, from
whom we heard the story, discovered it.
and had it interred at once.
A Scoundrel's Punislmieiit.
Savannah, Oct. lit—On Thursday,
while the wife of Houston Demere, a
planter in Bryan county, fifteen miles
from this city, was returning from a
visit to a neighbor’s she was followed
by a well-known negro named Giles,
who beat and attempted to outrage her,
but was prevented bv the timely arrival
of a gentleman, when the fiend fled.
He was captured Friday, and while in
the charge of a constable, Mr Demere
shot him and then surrendered himself.
The negro died this morning.
Sudden and Singular Death.—
Last Tuesday morning Mrs. Julius
Hudspeth took a kerosene lamp and
went into her kitchen to prepare break
fast before day. Attracted by some
noise her husband went into the kitchen
and found the lamp in fragments and
his wdfe lying dead on the floor. Wheth
er she died of heart disease or from in
haling the gases of the exploded lamp
is not known. —Cuthbert Appeal.
PpRRV Mills and Frank Griffith met
in Visalia, Cal., after a long separation,!
They were very glad indeed to see each
other. “I’ve been looking for you
more’n two years,” said one. “This is
what I’ve been longin’ for,” said the
other. Then each drew a revolver tuid
began to fire. The wounds were num
erous, but not mortal.
Two men convicted of murder were
sentenced in Atlanta, last week, —one
to be hanged and the other to im
prisonment for life.
Fxtra Liability to Malarial In
fections.
Persons whose blood is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish, are extra liable to
ihe attacks of malarial disease. The most
I trifling exposure may, under such condition
j infect a svstem which, if healthy, would re
j sisf the maiasmatic tain*. The only wav to
' secure immunity from m tlaria in localities
j where it is prevalent., is to tone and regu
late ihe system bv improving weakened di
{■ration, eeritchins the bleed and giving a
wholesome impetus to biliafv secretion.—
These results are accomplish by nothing so
effectivtlv as Hosietrer't Htnmac Bitie s,
wiiich long exp“iience has proved to be
ihe most reliable safeguard against fever
and ague and kindred disorders, as well a9
the best remedy for them. The Bitters are,
moreover, an eqnelent invigor.int of the or
pins of urinaniion, ami an active depurent
elimination from the blood those acred im
puiiiies which originates rheumatic ail
ments.
Consumption Cured.
An old physician, retired from p'ac'iee,
having had placed in his hands bv an Kast
India missionary the formula of a simple
vegetable remedy, for the speedy and per
manent cure for consumption, bronchitis,
catarrh, asthma, and ail throat and lung af
fections, also a positive and radical cure for
nervous debilitv and all nervous complaints,
after havinsr tested its wondorful curative
powers in thousands of cases, uas felt it hi
duty to make it known to his suffering fel
