In onr naxt issuo wo will have some thing further to say on this subject. A Hint to vur Slitppcrs. It was suggested to us tho other morning that our cotton 'shippers might profit by making sonic eflort to gut up a competing line for tho shipment of Cotton to 8avannah. The mode sug gested was for our shippers to get the B. &. A. Railroad' to furnish them a through cotton tariff to Savannah via Brunswick. Cotton could be shipped by that route ala much lower rate than we arc now getting, and tho transit would only lack a few hours of being as rapid. Tho matter is worthy an effort, if only to offer ^competition, and make other lines come down with their present high rates. The Dead Body Found— The In quest. Saturday evening the body of Robt.

Sunday evening at sunset began the Hebrew New Year, Bosh Hashana, according to the Jewish count 5,847th year. The services of the day were strictly obaerved by members of the Jewish church throughout the universe. Those of our city held services at B'Nia-Brith Hill Sunday evening at 6 J9 o’clock, and Monday morning at 9 o’clock. The places of business of all of our Jewish citizens were closed Monday. Dangerous. While Mr. Muse, one of the efficient clerks st the Central depot, was unload ing a car Saturday morning, he noticed smoke coming through the small crevi ces in a case of matches. The box was taken to one side and opened. Several boxes were found to he on fire, but were put out. There is no telling how long they had been burning and would in all probability have set the car on fire had it not been unloaded as soon as it was. Tlie Fire Sunder Night. Sunday night at a quarter past eleven our citizens were aroused from their slumbers by the dread cry of “fire I fire 1” The alarm came from the South western portion of the city, and proved to be Dr. W. A. Strother’s kitchen. It originated from some defect in the flue and was not detected until the flames were under full headway, or rather the alarm was not given up town until then. The colored hook and ladder company responded promptly to the alarm, and assisted by private citizens, this com pany succeeded ip saving the Doctor’s handsome residence which stood within thirty feet of the burning building. After the battle was won and the devouring llauies had yielded to the control of the conquerors, the engine companies reported ready for duty. They do good work when they once get at it But the trouble is so much damage is done before the engines get water. Something Is radically wrong with Albany’s Fire Department, and unless corrected will, some day, result in great loss to our property owners. One thing we need is a fire-alarm bull. Several 'firemen didn’t know until the fire had been put out, last night, any* about .it. A little weak-toned bell in some portion of the city rang a few minutes and then hushed sb if ashamed of it’s own impudence in trying to be heard. Since .writing the above we learn from members of tho company, that tho Thrcnatccska repaired to the scene of action soon as they beard the alarm. So it seems that the absence of an alarm bell is wherein lies the deficiency. Let it be remedied, or suffer the conse quences. PERSONAL. Onr reporter called on a number of our business men this morning, to soli cit suliscrlptlous to the Daily News and AuveitTiscn, and was delighted with the hearty maimer in which the new order or things Is endorsed by them. Bert! Is what they say: The first house wo called on was N. & A. F. Tift A Co. We found Messrs. Woolfolk and N. F. Tift In, both of whom subscribed for the paper, and t tld that their house would give us a liberal patronage. - Next wo stepped across to Welch & Bacon's. In answer to onr application for aubscribere, Maj. Bacon Mid: “Yes, all of us must have it. Here’s the mon ey for one copy for myself.” Captain Wight said lie, too, must have it.— Messrs. Robinson and Gottlieb, In the office, requested us to put them down for a copy each. Passing out into the store, we were met by Mr. — Irvin and another name was on our list. , Messrs. Gunnison & Fleming say: “It’s a live sheet. Put us down for a paper and an advertisement.” Mr. C. Smith, of A. Sterne’s: Of course we nfost have the Nkwh and Advertiser, and an advertisement also.” Mr. Jake Ventulett: “Yea, sir, put me down for Albany’s Daily. I am for It.” Messrs. Daniels mid Muse, at Welch’s: We’ll iiave to take your paper. It’s a real good one.” Mr. It. J. Cutliff, of W. E. & B. J. Cutliff; We want your paper; shall fix up a live advertisement for it, and pro pose to give you all of our job work.” Mr. B. T. Kemp says: “You arc getting out a good paper, and here’s the money lor it. I am taking several eity dailies, but 1 want one that is working for Albany, which will, 6f course, ad vance my interests.” Mr. L. T. Fields: “I want It, and here’s the money for three months to start with.” Mr. A. Fields: “It’s a good paper, and cheap enough, so put me down.” Mr. Sherm Barnes, of Y. C. Rust & Co.: “Oh, yes, we must have the live dally.” Capt. J. T. Hester: “It’s a splendid thing for Albany. Here’s the money for three months, and when that’s up call on me again. I must have It.” L. 8. A L. C. Plonsky: “You may put us down for your paper. We like it, and shall auvertise with you.” Capt. John A. Davis: “The consoli dation Is a good thing for Albany, and I heartily endorse it. You are giving us an excellent daily.” Mr. W. S. Bell, of Sheffield & Bell: Put me down for your dally. Must have it, for it’s a lively one. Judge D. H. Pope: “I want your new daily. Didn’t get one yesterday. You can’t cheat me out of it.” Mr. J. H. Balls: “Yes, sir, f must have the Daily News and Advebtis- KK.” Mr. D. Glaubor, of the firm of Mayer & Glauber, thinks it the “very thing;” ami with his usual public spirit and en terprise, said, “Count mein.” Mr. Morris Mayer, who is building up as rapidly as any merchant who has ever opened business, likes the Daily, and will prove his faith in it by bis works. Capt. Duitont of the City Shoe Store, is so much pleased with it that lie didn't wait a single day to express his aopre- clation, by giving us a handsome ad vertisement of the splendid stock of boots, shoes and hats he has just re ceived. Mr. Geo. Collier didn’t say a word, except “Send me the paper; put in a good ad. and depend upon mv weight for assistance," That was enough from George, for we know “that boy.’ r Mr. W. II. Gilbert, the live druggist, who can he counted on in almost ay event, says: “Mjr congratulations, and a dozen “Cupid” cigars to the new firm. They are the best cigars in the eity for the price, and the people should know It. Oh, yes, send round the Dal ly, and put in a good advertisement for us in the Weekly,” Capt. 8. H. Weston, of the firm of Weston, Collier & Davis, hikes the Daily, and wishes it success. He is an old journalist, and knowing the ups and downs of the printer, and the value of printer’s ink, will aid us with our enterprise, ' Jinny other of our live men have ten dered us words of encouragement—all of which are highly appreciated. We shall strive to merit their good wishes. FINALE, The preachers are with us, the law yers are with us, the doctors are with us, the mechanics ere with us, and may we not hope the ladies are with us ?— Now tlie way to give additional evi dence to tl)e public of gootl wishes to an enterprise for the benefit of Albany, is to send in orders for advertising, job printing ami subscriptions. ^ V-'r suicide.

Yesterday morning foe part ntx of a little colored boy of 10 year* ild, who had been missing from his he ne since Tuesday night, were searching foe city over in quest of information :oncem- ing his whereabouts.

Last afternoon the l enrehers succeeded in finding tha; lit le boys who had been seen playing r ith him. and after much persuasion ant proini- lessthat they should not beh rt, they told the following tale regai ling the disappearance of their missing ion. Late Thursday afternoon; tin missing boy and themselves went dot i to the river to go in bsthrag, and th ir com panion who could not swim plunged too far out, got into the de: > crater, and after a short desperate truggle, wont down to rise no mote.

A Caution to Horsemen. We have often seen persons take their pocket handkerchief to wipe away any foam from the mouth or nose of a horse which is thrown on their clothes, without even thinking it might prove fatal to themselves. But a noted surgeon calls attention to tho danger of the habit, and says that some months ago an officer came to him suffering from an obstinate cold and coogb. The usual remedies were prescribed, bnt in vain, a visit to tho baths at Reichenhall also did the patient no good. Itctnrr- ing to duty, tho officer became worse ; fever, attended with great pain in and swelling of the head, set in, and ulti mately, after much suffering, he died with every symptom of the glsndcra. Inquiries were set on foot, end it was found thst some time before ho was taken ill he had ordered a horse which he believed was suffering'from glanders to be shot. Neither the groom nor any of the other soldiers who Had been near the horse have beon attacked by gland ers, and consequently it is suspected thst the officer who died may have con veyed the disease into his system by perhsps using his handkerchief to wipe some of too foam from foe mouth or nose of foe horse from his uniform.

This Cercy put up with very patiently for some time. But yesterday evening ho went to Davit, called him to account for the way ho was doing and told him that he could not feed a man to work for some one else.

Macon Telegraph and Messenger. ,- Our community was shocked to learn early yesterday morning that this esti mable gentleman and excellent citizen hid been foully shot down while ap proaching his gir house at 3 o'clock A. M., being attracted there by noises of a suspicious character. It seems that the judge had decided not to repair his horse power, but to carry his cotton to Asher Ayres’ steam, gin near by, and it was known that he would move a few bales in the seed yesterday morning. This caused some of the numerous cotton thieves in the district, who, it is well known, can readily sell any seed cotton they may carry to small mer chants in the vicinity, without being questioned, to. visit his gin houso for the purpose of robbing it. . Before foe judge reached the house, he noticed the door was opeD, and was fired upon when within fifteen or twenty feet of it. Two shots were fir ed in quick succession, the second one striking his right leg three inches be low the knee, breaking it This wound knocked him down, and the thieves fled in the darkness. There is strong circumstantial proof as to the identify of the guilty parties. Howard district is justly aroused and highly in dignant at this high handed outrage. A largo crowd of citizens called upon, Judge Lundv, and expressed their sy f& pithy and their indignation ,st the das tardly attempt to kill him. These cotton thieves invariably sell their booty at night, aiM^a’htW is need ed to prevent the sale of all country produce between sun-downand sun-up. Such a law is universal in Alabama, and every merchant a required to re port monthly to foe ordinary the names of sellers .and articles bought in the day, and consequently locks are not needed on gin houses, corn cribs or po tato houses. Shall not BibV county havo such a law?
