There is a doubt as to whether or nut if
the amendment is defeated on the returns,
it is defeated by legal votes. A large num-
ber of tickets were primed which simply
read "against the amendment." These
were not printed as prescribed by law, and
were ser.t out on purpose to deceive a cer
tain class, who, while opposing ihe amend
ment, were not awnre now the the ticket
should read.
It is believed that in many instances
the managers returned thesa vote* when,
as a matter of fact, .nly those tickets
which plainly read "against ratification of
the amendment of paragraph I ot section
II of article VI of the constitution” should
be returned as being against the amend
ment.
FLIRTING ON TUB TRAIN.
How the Earnest Widower Carried OfT the
Honors or the Day.
From the Brunswick Appeal.
The play opened on Monday last above
Jesup, and the writer was a spectator. The
gentlemen in question determined on con
quest and gradually worked their way
down toward that end of the car where
were seated a married lady ami children
and an unmarried sister—very prepossess
ing in atqiearancc.
“B.,” Hie widower,
but ra-her shy.
"A.,” the ex-widower, was more bold,
and reached over and chocked the little
tot, who was in "darling auntie’s” arms,
under the chin, and said, "You want to
come?” Baby smiled and cooed—widower
got dcsiierate and offered his manly arms,
too, but baby accepted the offer of
“A.” Thia tickled him, and he waltzed
hrough the car in bis delight, saying.
“I’ve captured him 1 I’ve captured him I”
But you ought to have seen his counte
nance fall when he got ba k and saw the
widower safely landed in the only vacant
seat near the object of interest, and he left
standing in the aisle, baby in hand, wish
ing its ma had it. Suffice it to say he got
rid of that “lit le responsibility” soon as
possible, and went over to the other end of
the car and made a mash on three school
girls en route for the Macon Female Col-
'-ge.
That widower held his ground all the <
way to Cochran, and actually told the fair
maiden Hint he believed she had made a
mash on the editor as well as the widower
and ex-widower. i
THE OLD CAPITOL’S JOY.

tii Operation.
Mii.i.k oevili.b, Oct. 5.—Thursday, I
Oct. 4, 1888, will ever be a memorable day '
in the history of Miiledgcville; from 3
o’clock p. m. until 8 o’clock, the brass
hand sent forth strains of music, the bells
all over town were rung, and the streets
were strewn with flower* from e nter to •
circtiinference, and if a stranger had been
passing he would have thought that the .
capitol had been brought back to Mil- -
Ieogeville.
But there was something better for
Miiledgcville than the capitol. The dum
my line had been completed from each of
the depots of the town, the engine had
arrived and been pi iceu on the track and
the train came rushing through the street,
a thing that had not been dreamed of by
our oldest citizens, Mr. S. Barrett, the
president of the dummy line, deserves
much praise for bis energy and good
judgment in constructing the road.

Chicago, Oct. 5.—There was only fair
trade in wheat to day, chiefly local, though
some little outside business is being done.
Higher prices were again established and
the market developed decided strength.
The same prominent operator, who has
figured so conspicuously in the market for
the past few weeks, was credited with being
the principal bujer The conditions were
about the same as recently noted and no
new features are present. The market* 1 in
the northwest continue to rule strong and
Duluth for No. 1 lard ruled 9 to 12 cents
above Chicago prices. For So. 2 all home
markets were higher and foreign markets
also ruled stronger and a shade higher. The
opening here was about 2 cents higher than
yesterday’s closing with a further advance.
Corn was fairly active and generally
steady, though early in the session an easy
feeling prevailed, after which the market
ruled unsettled. The trading was mainly
local and appears to be centering in more
deferred deliveries, May, in particular, ten
day ruling quite active. The influcncesgov-
erning the situation to-day were of local
character, very little, it any, outside news of
importance being received. The market
opened about % cent above the closing
prices of yesterday, was firm for a time and
advanced K, sold off %, reached X, ruled
weak, and declined to reaching the low,
est point of the session and closed % to K
cent lower than yesterday,
t Oats were quiet, except May, in which
there was fair request. This held prices
firm and caused a % cent higher range with
near futures barely steady,
I Trading in mess pork was moderate and
chiefly during the first hour and almost
entirely in November and January. The
first sales were 2)4 to 5 cents advance, de
clined to IS to 2214 cents, rallied 12 to 15
cents, became weaker and closed quiet at
nearly the inside figures.
Lard was nervous, it being difficult to buy
I or sell a moderate sized line without mate,
ri.lly afiecting value. October declined SO
cents under liberal oflerlngs by a prominent
* packer. The appearance of buyers after :h
| decline caused a rally ot 37)4, hut it was not
maintained. Trading in other deliveric
was moderate and prices lower.
Short ribs met a fair call and an easier feel
ing developed on near deliveries, but more
distant futures were steady.
Cotton Future
New Youk, Oct. ti.—Hubbard, Price &
Co.’s cotton circular to-day 6ays: The
Liverpool market, which came about one
point better this morning, was oflset by a
heavy volume of receipts. Oar opening
prices showed a decline of from four to six
points, and further depreciation was re-
corded at the close. The dec Ine in the
stock market was also considered a potent
factor in re iucing the valaes of cqttoa fit
tures. October has shown rather more
steadiness to-day. Southern offerings com
tinue free. * *

New York, Oct. 6.—The bears to-day
•old stocks freely all around the room, while
the buying was scattered and inefficient.
The day's transactions were quiet, and the
tone was weak throughout, though a deal of
hammering was done by bears apd traders
to bring about this result. The bank state
ment shows a loss in the surplus reserve
and, anticipating this, the temper of the
room waa bearish. The market opened at
fractional declines and continued to drop all
day, closing weak with everything lower.
