The Journal. J. D. HOYL, EDITOR. DAWSON, GEORGIA, Thursday Morning, Oct* 2-t, *7K For Congress—2d District HON. W. E. SMITH, OF DOt'GUEKTV. MB— —"lWdal 11 ■■ li —III II l Wllil 11 nHHIiI IIWW t 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> . Messenger. 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 lows.
