Mr. Jordan had the house and cotton insured for $1,000 in » Vir ginia Fire Insurance Company, repre sented in this city by Messrs. Carter A Woolfolk. This makes gin house burning num ber seven, for November. County Commissioners. Dougherty’s Board of County Com missioners held its regular bi-monthly meeting Monday.. It was in session ail day examining and auditing bills against the county, including a goodly amount resulting from tho last term of the Superior Court. The Board ad journed to meet again on the first of next month, when the Newton road will be brought up and finally dispos ed of. The citation touching this change is published in another column. A Queer Accident. As Mr. D. C. Gleaton, of Worth, was going out home Saturday after noon, in passing the Barton place he suddenly discovered that his wife’s clothing was on fire. He at once halt ed, threw, his child out of the buggy, and tore the burning garments from Mis. Gleaton. In doing this his hand was badly burned. M rs. G. was very -lightly burned. He supposes that the fire occurred from a spark falling from a gin engine on the side of the road. Mr. Gleaton came back to the city and had his burn dressed. This was a queer accident, and it is fortunate for the family that it turned out no worse. The Finest, Freshest, Newest and Nicest Groceries, Goefectioer) Fruits, Etc., CAN ALWAYS BE FOUND AT A.

A gentleman makes complaint against a crowd of colored men and boys who make a practice of collecting on the sidewalk on Jackson street, opposite Farkas’ stables at night, and indulging in profane and vulgar language, to the great disgust of passers-by. The gen tleman in question had occasion to pass that way Sunday night in company with a lady friend, and found the side walk at that point almost impassable. The loud-mouthed profaners paid no attention to the lady's presence, but continued their boisterou < and vulgar conversation, which made it extremely unpleasant for both lady and gentle man. We would suggest that our vigilant police take a peep around that particu lar corner some Sunday night, swoop down on, and abolish this standing nuisance.

AU mr old patron, aad Bear Story. Mr. John Walters, one of Dougher ty's enterprising young planters, resid ing six miles below the city, was out bird hunting the other day, and acci dentally ran afoul of a first-class, well- matured bear story, and immediately started about working the thing up for the News ash Advertiser. The material to be worked upon was an old hear and her cub, which he found in the woods. Upon the ap proach of Mr. Walters, the old mother ran off and left the litlle bruin to take care of himself. It climbed a tree close by, and Mr. W., to keep it up there, stationed himself under the tree. But bruin Jr. didn't propose to occupy these quarters, so he proceeded to de scend. When low enough down Mr. Walters placed the muzzle of his gun to the animal s side and gave it a heavy charge of bird shot, which^aeemcd to produce no other effect than to hurry up the younstera little. Mr. Walters didn't have any large shot* and was obliged to stand by and aee bis game escape; lienee our bear story is incomplete. An Affray at Hillsdale. From parties who came in on tho B, A A. train Saturday night we learned that ajdilficulty occurred at Hillsdale, on Friday evening, between a young white man named Frank Holton and a negro, whose name we did not learn. Young Holton and the negro were hauling lumber for Dr. Pickett, and whilst loading the wagon, engaged in a quarrel, which finally led to blows. The ne gro struck Uoltcn with a scantling, and Holton, arming himself with a like cudgel, retaliated. Finally Holton drew a pistol and opened fire on the negro, when the latter retreated. Both men were pretty badly beaten with the scantlings, but Holton missed his mark when he went to shooting. Run Over by a Wagon. The horses attached to a freight wagon belonging to W. D. Williams’ Sons, of Newton, and loaded with goods for that firm, took fright two milei out of the city Tuesday even ing and ran away. A colored man was thrown from the vehicle and ran over, and a barrel of apples also fell on him, bruising him up considerably. Ilia left thigh was broken. He wasbiought back to town where his bruises under went medical treatment of Drs. Stro ther and Cromwell. Wednesday afternoon, having so far recovered as to be able to ride, he was placed in a wagon and sent to Newton. Runaways and broken hones arc be coming frequent occurrences in and around this city. The battle has been fought, lost and won. Our city conducted henelf he roically throughout the engagement. Not a single bloody nose made its ap pearance upon tho scene of action— the Court House yard. The work was done qniotly, but llrmly. Owing to a severe drought of clerks, for tallying, the managers were not able to open the polls until after ten o’clock. And for three hours after they were opened the colored suffrage stingers formed a solid and impenetrable body twenty feet deep around the window where tho ballot box was. The whites wore compelled to retire until this patriotic crowd got through saving tho country. We wish tho Chicago Inter-Ocean man could have been hero to aeejhow bravely tho colored troops, who arc not allowed to voto in the South, took possession of the field, held it until thoy got through voting, notwithstand ing tl.o presence of us bull-dozing rebels. When tho Doinocrsts got a chance to vote they deposited their ballots and quietly retired. l’eaco and good feeling roigned su preme throughout tho whole day. We never saw so little excitcmont during a Piesidcntial election. If there ’was a single disturbance wo don’t know of it. Lot the result of Tuesday bo what it may, the true Democratic pa triots of Albany have the proud consciousness of having done their whole duty. A RAVENOUS HOC. Ha Attempt to Bal a Little Child. A horrifying circumstance occurred over the river Tuesday. A little baby of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Cooper, residing in East Albany, was sitting alone on the bottom door step, when it was attack ed by a large and ravenous hog. Tho rapacious beast seized the child by one of its hands, and dragged it over the yard, attempting the while to devour it. The little innocent’s hand was fear fully mangled and chewed up before its great peril was discovered, and the babe rescued by its mother. The child will be a cripple for life. And we hope that the villianous beast will be killed before it devours soinobody’s darling. Excursion Trains to the Thomas* vllle Fair. A note from Mr. K. T. McLean, the clever and efficient Secretary of the Thomasviile Fair Association, informs us that arrangements have been made with tho Savannah, Florida and Wes tern Railway to run special or exeur sion trains from Albany to the Thomvs- villo Fair on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday next. This ought to in sure a good attendance from this city and all intermediate points. We have every reason to believe that next week’s Fair will be a success in every particular, and those of our people who attend will find will doubtless be well pleased witli the sights and amuse ments of the occasion. Our Thomas- villc friends have been liberal patrons of the Fairs held in Albany, and as we have no fair of our own this season, and special trains sre to be run for our aocoiumodation, wc hope to see Albany and Dougherty county well represent ed on the grounds of our sister associa tion next week. GERMAN OABF. Th* Success of Their Propagation ' In oar Water* Assured. It will be remembered that our wor thy Congressman, Hon. W. E. Smith, procured from the Department at Washington, and distributed in this District some time last year, a number of German Carp. A good many of these fish, then quite small, were plac ed in ponds in this county, and now we have, wc think, sufficient evidence to establish the fact that the succeas of thoir propagation in our waters is as sured. Dr. T. J. I. I’atillo got five of tlie litlle fish from Capt. Smith, and placed two of them in one pond on his plantation, and throe of them in anoth er. Tho small pond which had only two fish in it, went dry, or so nearly so that only a small puddle of water was left. Fearing that the fish would die or bo captured, Dr. Patillo concluded to transfer thorn to another pond, so ho car ried them homo late Thursday evening and placed them in a barrel of water, ex pecting to carry them to his other pond next morning. Very much to his surprise and regret, however, ho found both fish dead the next morn's^ When he came to tho city Friday he] brought ono of them to Capt. Smith, and half of the other to tho Rev. Mr. Felder. From tho latter wo learned that the half of tho one brought to him furnished a sumptuous feast for nine persons at dinner Friday, and that there was an abundance left for the servants besides. All agreed that it was tjie finest fish they had ever eat en, the favoirte creek trout of this sec tion not excepted. The growth of these fish since Dr. Patillo placed them in his pond a little more than a year ago has been wonderful, and we are informed that quantities of eggs were found in thorn, showing that they were healthy and preparing to increase. 1 an still steal tor the Buuerirlek Petleroe.

Jr/ ' Pin. Siraiv. Tho Augusta Keening Hews calls attention to the value of pine straw, and says it lias only been a year or two since pine straw first became an arti cle of export in the Wilmington mar ket, and now we learn it is impossible to supply the demand for it. It is shipped North, where it undergoes certain preparations, and is then used for stuffing mattresses, in the place of oakum, and for other purposes, be sides yielding a kind of oil in the first process to which it is subjected. There is a depot for it near the foot of Or ange street in that city, where it is haled for shipment. This new industry can he most pro fitably developed in Georgia; for if there ever was a surplus of any one article, anywhere, which seemed to ho valueless, it is pine straw in Georgia.

A great many horses in our city are suffering with this troublesome and sometimes fatal disease. For the bene fit of the owners of horses, the follow ing description of the symptoms is given. The quotation is from a work generally accepted as standard au thority upon the horse and hia dis eases : "The first symptom is that the horse is dampish, which signifies debility. To a casual observer the horse looks as if he had been sick for months. If urg cd to move on he docs so after the fashion of an overgrown elephant.— The eye is indicative also of the dis ease: its vessels are turgid, have an ar terial red appearance (this has, per haps, led to the term; ’pink eye’), the lids become swollen, and the animal shrinks from the light as if its rays caused pain; the tears trickle over, and now and then a particle of purtulcnt, lyniphy matter can be seen in the an gles of the eye. The animal seems un able to support the weight of his head it either remains in a drooping position or he rests it in the crib. First one hind limb and then the other swell, be come infilrated with fluid which con stitutes anasarca, or they may both commence to swell at once; in fact, other parts of the body become dropsi cal, so that the patient sometimes more resembles an elphant than a horse.— The swelling of the legs, let it be more or less, is considered in connectiolt with the other features, the diagnostic system. It is very different from that tumefaction which is found in the limbs of many horses, and occasionally by want of exercise. It comes on sudden ly, affects the whole limb, groin and sheath. The hair from the first lias an unhealthy aspect, and a rough feel ing of the cars and ncse, and the limbs are cold or not, according to the stage of the disease. The appetite is poor from the first, and any attempt to swal low indicates that the throat is exceed- irgly sore, foul, thickly coated, and sa liva runs freely, although not always, for in many e tses the mouth is dry.— In tho course of a few days a nasal dis charge sets in, and this is considered a favorable crisis. In sums instances, however, the disease terminates in a troublesome cough.” Carp. Albany Ga., October 29, lb80. Messrs. Kdilort: To-d*y, for the first timo in my life, I had for dinner a German Carp, one too that was raised in this county! Fish stories always smack of the fabu lous, and mine may too, but notwith standing the opinions of the incredulous, allthe facts 1 state are true. Last February, a year ago, Hon, Spencer F. Baird, U. S. Fish Commis sioner at Washington, sent me about sixty little German Carp. They were about three and a half inches in length. They were received in good condition and were immediately transferred to some lakes and ponds of this county and Baker. Hons. H. A. Tarver and Capt. Ilobbs received some; Mrs. Wil liams, of Baker, received some, and Dr. Patillo and B. B. Outz received some. The little pond into which Dr. Patillo placed a portion of his, on account of the absence of/rains became nearly dry. From this pond Dr Patillo took two carp—each one of which weighed between eight and ten pounds and were abont twenty incheB in length. One he gave to me, and a portion of another ho gave to Bev. Mr. Felder. My fish wa3 baked; I found it beautiful white with scarcely any bonea, and of a delicious flavor. This experiment of propagating this valuable food fish in this country, and in our ponds and lakes, I consider as demonstrating, beyond all doubt, the feasibility and practicability of each en terprises. Should the carp in other ponds thrive as those of Dr. Patillo’s, I will bo able to furnish my neighbors with any number of young ones next spring. My friend, J. M. Cutliff, Esq. intends making an examination of the lakes and ponds planted with carp. The Hon. Fish Commissioner of Wash ington, and also our State Commissioner will furnish you with young carp on application. Respectfully, W. E. Smith. Marriage P, Vasou and Bites Emma Hllsman, Hesse*. Editors : It is an old, old story, older than the rocks and rivers, a story of love and trust and reliance. It is a story that has come down from the garden in the East through all tho ages of creation—yet it is younger and fresher than a May morning. And the story gives an occasion for the gather ing of flowers and the twining of them into garlands and wreaths. It gives an occasion for the heartiest congratula tions of friends, and tho mingling of happy voices and the bubbling over of joyous hearts. At the Baptist church in this city, Thursday evening last, Mr. A. P. Vason, one of Albany V cleverest and most enterprising young men, led to the altar Misa Emma Hilbman, one of Albany's fairest and most charming young ladies. The church was deco rated in a beautiful and artistic man ner, and throngs of friends assembled see the happy pair plight their troth each other. At half put eight the organ, uader tho skillful touch of Mrs. N. Woolfolk, pealed forth the har monies of a grand wodding march from Midsummer Night's Dream, Men delssohn's “Bartholdy,” announcing the coming of the bridal party. Preced ing Mr. Vason and hia betrothed were the attendants in the following order: C. Rust, Miss Mamie Tarver. Jno. Henderson, Miu Nells Cutliff. J. Cutliff, Miss Callie Vuon. D. Weston, Miss Eva Hilaman. As tlie bride and groom walked with majestic tread down the aisle a mur mur as of so many whispered blessings ran electric like through the immnnse throng. Positions having been taken a semi-circle, the pastor, Rev. R. T. Hanks, arose and in % most beautiful and solemn manner performed the cox emony, invoking Heaven’s benedic tions upon the pair. The marriage rites over the bridal party, accompanied by many friends, repaired to tho residence of Judge D. A. Vason, father of the groom, where reception wu given them. Here, at your correspondent noticed the rush of congratulatory friends, he could but admire the calm and dignified manner of the newly wedded couple. In watching the scene life ceased to be prosaic, all wu bright and hopeful, hu manity wore its fairest smile, and one could grasp the embodied treasures of dreamlaud. The wedding presents were beMtiful and numerous, and were admired on ail sides. A delight ful reput was served, and most thor oughly enjoyed by all. Pope Vuon is a young man of noble qualities, and is much esteemed by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Upright and honorable, and with it all enterprising, a successful future is con fidently predicted for him. The bride, not only one of the belles of A1 bany, but of Southwest Georgia, is noted for her beauty, grace and good sense, and will make a noble help-meet. An old shoe after you both Sfectator.

Judge K. J. Warren, of Leesburg, furnishes the following facts in the Rome Courier about Andersonvilie prison, which will prove of local inter est to our readers: Leesburg, Oct. 20.1880. Editor Courier—There is a tittle circumstance connected with the origin of the Andersonvilie prison which, so far as I know, hu escaped the attention of the numerous book-makers, Con gressional debaters and newspaper cor respondents, and which deserves to be commemorated now, only because it f~ connected with a subject upon which teeming luxury of statement hu been made. During the fall session of the Legislature in 1863, on one occuion Gov. Brown sent to the Representative Hall and summoned the members irom Sumter, Dongherty and Lee—Dr. Reese, Pike Hill and myself—to the Executive Department We were there introduced by the Governor to Capt Winder, who informed us that he desired our aid and the aid of the Gov ernor in selecting some suitable place on or near the S. W. R. R. for the lo cation of a prison. The map wu care fully examined and the matter debated at some length. The Blue Spring near Albany, wu mentioned, but the river swamp and the malaria presented an inseparable barrier. Smithville, in Lee county, came next under consideration. An earnest re gard for the health of the prisoners, which could not well be preserved where chills were then so prevalent in summer, added to the scarcity of water and ether needed oonvcniences were inducements which led us to decide against Smtihville also. The Magnolia (mineral) .springs, in Sumter county, would have been unanimously selected, but it wu twelve miles from the near est point of the railroad, the road was heavy and hilly, transportation of sup plies difficult, and above all, it would have been cruelty to have hauled sick or wounded soldiers, even in good am bulances, (which were not likely al ways to be in demand,) for inch a dis tance over a road, and, u we had no idea at tho time the cartel would be suspended and therefore expected a constant exchange of prisoners the in convenience of that position need not be discussed. Our soldiers in North ern prisons, when exchanged or pe troled, were never wilting that ordinary sickness or slight debility should detain them, and believing the Federate would feel the same way we concluded that they ought at all events to be can toned convenient to the railroad. Had Abraham Lincoln been present he could not have been otherwise than satisfied at the prominence given to tlie subject of the health, comfort and convenience of the prisoners, and Andersonvilie, the place wc all unani mously agreed upon finally, is the place he would have selected. A more pleasant location for an ordinary collection of troops and prisoners could not have been found, and no person at that time dreamed that the exchange of prisoner! wu to cease per manently. It is proper to observe that Capt. Winder remarked to us that we had bcon called upon to suggest not to dictate a place for the prison. He scumccd to regard the comfort of tha brave captives who might be entrusted to his care a matter of primary impor tance, and one that demanded much care, caution and consideration. How many otliors he may have consulted I do not know. This wu young Win der. Tlie prisoners North and South had thoir horriblo endurances and their tonder ministrations. Gentle hauds dealt kindly and tears of commiseration wore shed ovor the blue and gray. Some owed their captivity to Long- street and Moahy, sorao to Hancock and McOlollan. "Let “hye-gonoa bo by-gunoa.” Very respectfully, K. J. Warn*. The Grand Jurors tor the County of Worth, at the October Term, 1880, beg leave to make the following General Presentments: We have made an examination of the books of all the public officers u re quired by law, and find them neatly and correctly kept. The roads of the county we find gen erally in good condition, but we feel it our duty to say that the commissioners of the Isabella and Troupvtile road have not done their duty. This road should be worked without delay, and sre would suggest that If the tame be not done and the road kent In bettor order that the next Grand Jury bring the matter before the Court, that the Com missioners may be dealt with at the law directs. We reccommend that the Warwick road be changed sou to run from Dug Ford’s, colored, to the Isabella and Vine’s mills road, at or near the r— place. We recommend, alio, that the bridge at Vine’s mill be looked after at once, by the proper authorities, and such re pairs nude u to make the tame safe for the traveling public. Also, we recom mend, that the bridge on the Ocklock- nee river on the old Troupvtile-toad Horn Albany he likewise looked after and put In good repairs. We recommend that all Jurors, Grand and Petit, be paid the turn of one dollar and a half per day. Wc recommend the bailiffs of the Court be paid two dollars per day, and when night service hu been required of them u guards that they be paid one dollar additional. We recommend that the Cleric of this Court, Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff, be paid two dollars and fifty cents per day each during the time of holding Court. We recommend that McDowell, the party who conveyed the news of the burning of the Court House to the Judge of this Court at Albany, and procuring a workman to* visit Isa bella for the purpose of opening the safe In which the county records were kept, be paid the sum of five dol lars. We recommend that a law be passed by the Legislature creating a Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues for the county of Worth, and that the Ordinary give the legal notice required by law of the caption of a MU to cany out this recommendation to be submit ted to the Legislature. We regret to speak on a subject so painful u the burning of the house used by the county as a Courthouse. We are reminded in doing so that this is the second Courthouse that has been burn ed In our county In the past four years, which to say the least, is evidence that there are living in our midst some very bad men. We will not attempt to dis cover the cause of such conduct on the part of these incendiaries, whether to delay justice In the administration of the penal laws, or because of any desire to remove the county site would not mitigate the offence. We have exhaust ed every effort to disoover the guilty party or parties, but all in vain, but we, as citizens of the county, interested in her welfare and good name, call upon every citizen of the county to lend all the aid in their power to discover these vile perpetrators of one of the moat heinous offences known to the law. As a Grand Jury we have done all In our power to bring before the Courts fla grant violations of the penal code, and trust that there may be suited out to them in due time, In a new Courthouse, the punishment that the offenses de serve. We are fuUy in accord with the views of His Honor, Judge Wright, expressed to us in his charge, in reference to the importance of providing at once a neat and convenient Courthouse and Jail for our county. Were it in the power of this Jury we would maulfest by our action, which would speak more loudly than our words, our feelings on this subject. However, we have done on this subject all that we have thought it our power to do. The great difficulty in the matter of building a Courthouse and Jail has been the unsettled condi tion of the public mind, in the selection of a county site. We believe that it is the almost universal desire of our peo ple that the county site be removed to seme point on the Brunswick A Albany Railroad, but to what point has caused all the trouble and excitement. The interests of private parties ha* caused divisions, and wUI, as long as there is not found some high and equitable point on which to found a decision.- When this is done we believe that our patriotle citizens will give up all per sonal interest and unite on some course that will subserve the general good of the ccunty. We, at a Grand Jury, suggest the place embraced in the fol lowing resolutions, which were adopt ed almost unanimously by our body: e would I fore express to him our sincere for the able and Impartial which he has presided over the court- during the whole time of his incum bency. The laws have been enforced firmly and Impartially to all litigants, and he carries with him the best wishes of our whole people for his happiness in the future. We, the Grand Jury, tender our thanks to Col. Fleming for his courtesy N to us during his term of Solicltor-Gota eralship. We reoosnmend him to the General Assembly for the Judgeship for the next term of this circuit. We recommend that these General Presentments be published In the Al bany News amd Anrzzruzz. W. J.
