Observer.
It Wasn’t Enoigh.
The Macon Telegraph of Sunday
last contained an article to the effect
that a young man of Flovilla, Ga., in
this county, had written Postmaster-
General Gary at Washington, D. C.,
a letter offering that official 550 pro¬
viding he would appoint him
postmaster at’Flovilla.
Deputy Marshal George White
went up to Flovilla on Monday and
placing the man under arrest carried
him to Macon where he gave bond
for his appearance before the United
States court on the charge of attempt¬
ing to bribe a government official.
The young gentleman possibly thought
that was the manner in which the re¬
publicans parcel out the offices, and
he simply wanted to start early and
avoid the rush! In any event that’s
all the office is worth, and we think
he offered them the highest market
price for it.

A “Marriage” of Big Amusements.
The Great John Robinson and
Franklin Bros.’ Enormous Shows
Combined is an epoch m the annals of
amusements, the like of which lias
never before been known.
About every decade or so a new
king of tlie tented world dawns upon
the people. Of the famous personal¬
ities associated with the boyhoods of
the men of the present day, “Old
John Robinson,” as lie was familiarly
termed, has passed away, but his great
shows have passed from father to sou
for three generations. T. T. Barnurn
is but a memory and Adam Fore-
paugh’s name lias even ceased to be
carted about country, except as a
circus trademark. That of the genial
Jiavnum, however, is yet made to
beam from the dead walls, although
his body rests in the sepulcher, and
and his executors have disposed of
the interest in the show, which was
held by his estate.
The public iias felt that Barnurn
and Forepaugli’s shows without
Barnurn and Forepaugli were but
hollow pretenses, and if it were not
for the fact that the great John Rob-
inson Shows have passed from father
to son, it would naturally have cast
around for the coming of the new
leaders in this time-honored field of
amusement.
There is a destiny that shapes all
ends, and tiie men who are to rule
tlie circus world for the coining span
of years are at hand. Tlie sun never
moved with more certain tread from
the grey of early dawn to the radiance
of noon, than lias been the progress
of tlie Franklin brothers during the
brief past to the present season, where
they and John Robinson, the grand¬
son of the originator of big-tented
amusements, now stand foremost in
tented enterprises, either in this coun¬
try or abroad.
Four enterprising, honest and sterl¬
ing men, all with futures full of prom¬
ise, and each an accomplished gentle¬
man, as well as specially skilled in
some branch of the circus business.
The “world’s” press have been a unit
in pronouncing tlie exhibition fore¬
most in metropolitanism, and the best
ever seen. It is shortly to pitch its
tents in Fitzgerald, and asks a verdict.
All big cities are on the route, and
sooner or later, will be ready to wel¬
come tlie new blood, enterprise and
novelty that are wrapped up in just
such a stupendous exhibition as iliis
Napoleonic quartet is said to offer.
I have quite a lot of 2x8, 2x6 and 2
x4,16 and IS foot lumber, 1 will sell
for 54 per thousand, spot cash.
