SOCIETY NOTES,
We sympathise wilh the Bainbridge
young men in their recent severe loss.
Macon made a raid on Columbus
Tuesday evening. Mr. K. A. Isaacs,
ol the former city, was married to Miss
Jessie Bradford, of the latter place.
Buttons on fancy boots now match
those on costumes with which they nrc
worn.
A bewitching Columbus beauty just
from New York sets the styles for Au
gusta.
Misses Cullia Hall and R. Hightow
er, who have been stopping at the
Karnes House, returned to their home
in Damascus yesterday afternoon.
Some Albany boys' affection are like
Jonah’s gourd—they wither in a night.
The city Tax Assessors
Finished their work Monday at noon.
The Clerk has not finished up the addi
tions ret, but thinks there is incieased
in real estate somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $75,000 or 100,000. This
shows our city considerably on the go.
Our colored People.
Mai.y of our colored people have
comfortable houses in the city; and
we are glad to note that they arc patch
ing up, repairing and still building.
Th'S is a sign of progress and one
which we take special pleasure in
noting.
Death of a Child.
Little Roy, second son of Dr. 1*. L.
Hilsman, of our city, aged about two
and a half years, died Monday after a
brief illness of only about fifteen
hours. The little one sufferered in
tensely with convulsions, and the most
strenuous efforts of human skill could
not stay the hand of death. The funer
al took place the same afternoon, from
the residence of I)r. ililsman. The
heartfelt sympathies of the entire com
in unity are tendered the family in their
sail bereavement.
Open Ont the Streets.
There are quite a number of city lots
in the western portion of Albany which
have been appraised at good value
each year by the city tax assessors, and
which have been paying taxes for a
long time. These lots would he ren-
dered much more valuable if the streets
were opened up to the western corpo
rate limit. The owners are entitled to
this attention on account of the tax im
posed, and we hope the matter will be
attended to at once. No one will
build a house on a lot^where there is
no street to reach it.

farms on Mr. J. P. Davis’ place over the

Death ol Jlr. P. D. Davis.
It is with feelings of most profound
regret that we have to record the death
of one of the most worthy and popu
lar young men of Southwest Georgia,
Mr. P. D. Davis, of Baker county, who
died suddenly at the family home tliir
teen miles south of this city, a aliort
while before daylight Thursday morn
ing.
Mr. Davis hail been attending the
election the day before, and had been
taking an active part in the canvass lor
his father, who was a candiidate for the
State Senate. After the excitement of
the election was over, he went home
Wednesday night, and was a corpse be
fore morning.
The startling news of Mr. Davis’
death reached the city Thursday, hut
we were unable lo obtain any of the
particulars. It is sad enough to know,
however, that “Parish” 1 lavis is dead
The melancholy news cast a gloom
over our entire community, where the
deceased was so well known, when it
reached the city yesterday morn
ing.
Mr Davis was a young mail wh
commanded the respect of all who
knew him, and was perhaps the most
popular and influential man of his age
n Baker county. Two yeerx ago, whilst
filling the office of sheriff, he was noin
insted and elected l>y the Democratic
party to the House of Representatives
over Mr. W. W. Dews, who, prior to
that time, had never been defeated for
office in that county. He possessed
many striking qualities anil admirable
traits of character which gave him
wide acquaintance, and hosts of warm
personal friends. Peace to hiB mem
ory.

WEDNESDAY.
TIIK GREAT DAY DF SUFFRAGE
SLINGING.
Good Order, Lightning Activity,
and a Lively Scuffle.
Wednesday was election day; and the
streets and Courthouse yard presented
quite a lively appearance all during the
day. The friends of the respective
candidates began earnest and persist
ent work at an early hour, and kept up
their energies for some time. Good
order, quiet and peace was observed.
The white and colored citizens mixed
votes right along, and the color line was
completely obliterated. A fair and
open expression was allowed each man.
and it was a day of general amuse
ment, as well as active work.
We don't believe anybody in this
county is particularly mad, and the dif
ferences and bad feeling which have
existed during the past few months,
are, we hope, buried, so far as home
folks are concerned. We believe the
Democracy of Dougherty stands to-day
united and solid for the success of Tur
ner. The vote polled Wednesday was
not so full as usual, and most of them
were cast at the city precinct. We are
unable in this article to give the official
vote of Dougherty. We await the
count, which is progressing at this
writing. The county, however, gives a
majority for Colquitt, elects Capt. John
T. Hester, white Democrat, and Ish
uiael Lonon, colored Republican, to the
House of Representatives, and Capt. A.
C. Westbrook to the Senate.
At Oak Lawn and St. Paul’s pre-
cinets everything was conducted in the
same quiet and energetic way.

IRWIN SUPERIOR COURT,
Law and Politics—A Short Session.
Sunday afternoon, in company with
Col. W. U. Laatingcr, wo left AUpaha
for Irwinvillo, a distance of twenty-fivo
miles. Old Sol had sank to rest in his
Western couch, and the dark shadows
of evening were gathering fast aa wc
drew up in front of tho hospitable homo
of Mr. Jack Fletcher, fire milei this
side of Irwinvillo, where we met with
a genuine old Virginia welcome, and
were entertained for the night. Getting
an early breakfast and bidding our
clever boat and aimable hostess “good-
by,” wc drew reins over our St. Julien,
and were off for Irwinvillo.
Arriving at Irwinvillo at 9 o’clock
Monday morning wo fonnd near two
hundred of tho good people of Irwin
county assembled and new numbers
constantly arriving. Politics were rife.
Branch and Paulk, two of the leading
citizens of the county arc running
against each other for Legislative hon
ors, and their respective friends are
hacking then with money and labor.
After iisteuing to each side of the ques
tion, we were forced to the conclusion
that both men must be elected. They
have certainly made the hottest cam
paign ever made in the local politics of
any county in this State.
Judge Pate called the court to order
at 10 o’clock and commenced business.
The first case called was tho illegal
sale of five aliecp, and the accond was
a timber question. After disposing of
Mary’s little lambs and paying the
claimant for the timber, which took un
til Tuesday at ten, Judge Pate adjourn
ed court, so that everybody could go
home and vote. Monday morning that
noble old Rowan^ Gen. Phil. Cook,
Democratic nominee for Congress in
the Third District addresssed the peO'
pic in a few stirring remarks. That
county will go solid for its old favor
ite.
We enjoyed our visit to Irwinville
and intend to go again* We like the
people. The thrifty fanners of Irwin
county arc a reading people.
They patronize newspapers liberally.
Wc had the pleasure of meeting the
clever editor of the Hawkinsville Dis
patch, Mr. George Woods.
OUR YOUNG MAN ON THE WING.
A Bar at Alapaiia,
Alapaua, Ga., OcL 3, 1880.
D.ar News and Advertiser:
Your reporter, en route for Irwin
County Court, which convenes at Irwin-
ville to-morrow morning, “did up" this
thriving little village yesterday.
Politics in Berrien county -are ripe
and ready for gathering. Alapaha, the
political as well as the business foun
tain-head of the county, was yesterday
organized into a grand joint discussion.
The majority arc Norwood men, al
though our ■ genial host, Capt. M. C.
Austin, is for Colquitt by a good sized
majority. Barnes & Hunter, two live
commercial tourists,, have installed
themselves general directors of the city
to-day.,
We were pleased to meet our excel
lent friend, Mr. John Henderson, who
is with the well known firm of Paulk,
Henderson & Co. John says he can’t
do without the Daily News -and Ad
vertiser, so put him down for one ycav.
Berrien has three men in the field
for the Legislature: W. S. Walker,
W. H. Sneed and J. M. Harrell, all
good men, and it is thought that Oiie of
them will be elected.
Alapaha is on the high-road to pros
perity. Signs ol progress in the shape
of new storehouses and residences can
be seen going up on all sides.
That sparkling, go-ahead sheet,' the
News, published by Mr. Lastinger, is
doing some noble work towards build
ing up the place.
Of course the News and Advertiser
is popular out here. The people say
it's just their style, that they admire
the pluck and enterprise displayed by
the proprietors, and that the paper is
their household pet.
That prince of clever gentlemen, Dr
Alexander, is putting in some good licks
for us. Haven’t time to say any more.
Off for Irwin. Yours P.
John Robinson’, circus
It seems that all the circuses coming
South this season are going to give Al
bany the “go by,’’ except that of the
veteran old Jno. Robinson, which, as
will be seen by reference to an ad
vertisement elsewhere, ia to be in our
city on Monday, die 18th inst
We notice that the press has gener
ally spoken in the very highest terms
of this Rhow wherever it has been this
season. Unlike some of the others
that are on the road, it is free from
swindling aide shows and gambling at
tachments of various kinds, which
usually accompany the circuses that
travel in the South.
Speaking of John Robinson’s circus
after it had been to Danville, Va., the
Daily Post of that city, in the issue
of the 6th of September says: This
great traveling combination arrived
here Saturday as billed, and gave two
exhibitions at both of which the can
vass was filled, and when we say filled
we mean it to the fullest extci t of the
term. Saturday morning every man,
woman and child, not only in Danville,
but for miles around, wore ready for
the parade, and they were not waiting
long, for about 9 o'clock the procession
started to move, and the streets wherev
er the parade appeared were blocked—
in fact, from the market to the circus
grounds was a living, moving mass of
people of all shades, sixes and condi
tions all day. And every one was de
lighted, for at 1:15 o’clock the ticket
wagon was clossd, except to redeem the
tickets of persons who could not get
admission inside the canvass. A great
many, of course, kept their tickets for
the evening performance and were
there early.
The grand entree was fine. The
riding in this circus of Miss Rosaline
Stickney, four bare-back horses, and
thnt of Mr. George Holland, the sum
mersault and jockey bare-back rider,
deserve especial mention. They are
hard to equal.
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Paul, trapeze
performers, are excellent, and received
as they well deserved, much applause
and praise.
The new featnre of dry land fishing,
by Mr. Wm. A she, is among the best of
late things introduced in the show
business, and will always afford much
merriment.
The tumbling is excellent; in fact,
there is not an act in the performance
that can be called bad.
We must say a good word for that
little clown-dog. He is a smart little
thing, and affords one of tbe most
pleasant features of the performance,
John Lowlow hasn't got much the best
of that feilow.
John Lowlow, with his good hits of
humor, assisted by that most excellent
help, ,Wm. Ashe, received ell the as
sistances of a pleased audience that any
performer could ask for.
Altogether the show came as near to
what it is represented cs any we ever
saw, and cannot fail to interest and
please all who may attend.
Everybody was delighted with the
animal show and the electric light.
The personale of this show me must
say is the best we ever saw connected
with a public exhibition. We have
met in peason among them, Mr. Cullen,
Mr. Boyd. Maj. Field, Mr. Lowlow,
Mr^ Fisher, and several others, and find
all, both male and female, ladies and
gentlemen of education and chaarac-
ter.

Mr, Hiram TIson's Store Robbed.
On Sunday morning, about six o’clock
Mr. Hiram Tison or one of his clerks,
opened the door of his store and found
therein Joe Henry Watson, a colored
youth about fifteen years of age. The
same Joe Henry, whose previous ex
ploits have heretofore been noted. He
who burglarized Mrs. Golinsky’s store
some time ago. Joe Homy accounted
for his being there by stating that old
man Alfred Morris, the foreman of the
street hand force, had slipped him in
over the top of a window. The young
burglar was promptly arrested by Of
ficer Herrington, and began to tell
4 how it was.” He told the officer to
go down to old Alfred’s homo and he
would find the goods taken from the
store. Upon entering the house of
Alfred there were found a lot of tobac
co, cigars, whiskey and calico, under
a bed. Alfred was then seized and
ask?d to render an account. He said
lie had found the goods in an alley.
That was not satisfactory, so old man
Alfred and his young colleague in the
crookedness, were quietly warranted
and taken to jail where they now await
the action of the Superior Court.

A Dead Circus! man. Formerly of
(Albany.
John King, the elephant keeper of
Robinson’s circus, who was killed last
week, at Charlotte, N. C., by the ele
phant “Chieftain,” was once a resident
of Albany. He lived here for som
time, and was connected with the liv
e’ry stable business. He has a numbe-
of friends in our community, and al
ways seemed to enjoy his returns to
Albany. He has been here with Rob
inson several times since his removal
from our midst, and was a great favor
ite with the boys. An account of his
funeral will be seen on our outside
Tbe Silken Tie at Hymen’s Altar.
When talent weds genius, manly
beauty, womanly grxve, character of
soul, purity of heart—when business
energy marries domestic worth, con
geniality of spirit similitude of feeling,
then indeed is the union of two such
beings a happy event, a blissful sequel
to long plighted loves. Thus was the
marriage of Mr. James A. Etheridge,
of Eatonton, Ga., to Mise Eugenia Mun-
nerlyn yesterday morning, at the resi
dence of her father. Col. Charles J.
Munnorlyn, near Bainbridge, Ga., the
Rev. William A. Simmons officiating.
The newly wedded pair will arrive in
the ciiy this afternoon on their way to
the home of the groom. The couple
are well and favorably known in this
city, Mr. Etheridge having graduated
a few years since with honor at Mer
cer University, and Miss Munnerlyn,
a sister of Mrs. I B. English, has of
tentimes. from the commencement
stage of Wesleyan Female College, de
lighted the Macon public with her va
ried accomplishments both in song
and elocution.—Macon Herald.
We offer our congratulations to the
happy couple and heartily endorse
every word of the above. The writer
is well acquainted wilh both contract
ing parties and knew them to be in
mercantile parlance, “gilt edge.” Miss
Genie was a great favorite in Bain
bridge, Savannah, Macon and Colnrn-
bus society.

Paymrnt or $2,000 to tbe Brothers
of Dr. J, T. IIo I in cm. Deceased.
Mr. II. T. Mash, Recorder of Albany
Lodge No. 11 A. O. U. W., received
Tuesday from the Supreme Kecorder
a check for two thousand dollars, for
tbe benefit of the brothers of Dr. J. T.
Holmes, deceased. The beneficiary
certificate was made payable by Dr.
Holmes to his legal heirs. His bro
ther, therefore, had to take out letters
of administration before the payment
could be made to him, hence tbe delay
in payment of about two months.
This is another illustration of the
great good that is being accomplished
by this worthy order. Tho Albany
Lodge numbers about scevnty-fivo
members. It was established in July
1878, and this is tlio first member lost
by doath.
