The Tnfllnrhlns Intecrltr o
Welch A Bacon Commended.
Bainbridee IVmocraL
Welch 4 Bacon, of Albany, cotton
and commission merchants, failed not
Ions since to the extent of $250,000,
They could have gone on longer by ac
cepting loaDS of friends, but like men of
integrity, they saw simply a question of
time, and without the risk of involving
any one else, they made an assignment.
They gave up all of their property,
and "made every dollar's worth they
possessed, subject to their liabilities;
And it is believed they will bo able to
pay every cent of this indebtedness.
The cause of the crash was the failure
of the many farmers, whom they had
supplied with provisions and mbney, to
pay tip. We commend the unflinching
integrity of Welch 4 Bacon, not only to
merchants hut to all classes of men, ard
while their misfortune is disastrous to
them ttnacially, still their manliness in
meeting it, ought to have a good moral
effect upon all business men. The
truth is, when all mon act like Welch
& Bacon, consider everything subject to
honest debts, confidence will bo restored
between men in this country, and not
until thcr

county, was entered and a quantity of
dry goods and . groceries taken there
from, and carried away.
The parties committed the crime by

goods until Sunday afternoon, and
immediately alter discovering bis loss
proceeded to make diligent search. The

The best medium to advertise in~1s
always the paper you prefer to read
yourself, for tho presumption is that if
you prefer it, others also do. As you
want your advertisement read by tho
most people, the fact that you prefer to
read a certain paper is an unmistakable
indication that it will be read most in
it. Advertisements aro valued accord
ing to the number of readers a paper
has, its character and that of its readers,

Street Drumming
Tho new City Council has very

The mail-rider on the Vienna Route,
reported the particulars, on his last
trip, of a killing which occurred three
miles below Vienna on the 30th, ult
Jesse Woodward shot and almost in
stantly killed John Lucious with a
doable-barrel shot-gun. One shot en
tered the right eye of Lucious and
went out the back of his head, carry
ing part of the brain with it We learn
the following details of the killing
from the Montezuma Weekly :
Lurious ha t sold Woodward some
cotton seed and was to take in payment,
tiro thousand split rails, one thousand
only being split.
Wqoil ward called at the residence of
Lncious, and demanded the seed from
his wife, but was told he could not get
them, aa he had not complied with his
part of the contract Just] then L.
came up and told W. he could not get
the seed until he had split the other
thousand rails. W. told him to “stand
back,’’ saying that if he came another
step he would blow his brains out
Lucious advanced and Woodward rais
ed his gun, it almost touching the face
of deccased^uid fired. Woodward escap
ed and has not been arrested, although
diligent search has been made for him.
From all we can learn, it was a brutal
murder, the like of which Dooly has
not known for some time. *
Sunday School Convention.
The following is the programme of
the Sunday School Convention of Beth
el Association, to ho held with .the
Isabella, Ga., Jan. 12, 1881.
Editor* Xeiet and Advertiser:
In your issue of January 8th, 1881
I see the announcement of] the death
of one of oar prisoners sent from Worth
county to Dougherty county jail, in
which announcement it is stated that
the authorities of Worth county have
heretofore refused to pay any doctor’s
bills for prisoners turned over to
Dougherty county for safe keeping. I
have this much to say about it, that I
am one of the authorities of said county,
and that I have never refused to pay
but one bill, and in fact I never refused
to pay that There was a bill present-
ed to me by William Gilbert for Dr.
McMillan, for medical attention to one
J. L. Ready, who was then in jail. I
told Mr. Gilbert that Ready was well
off and that I thought that under the
circumstances it was but right that
Ready should pay his own doctor bills,
and if I am not mistaken the bill was
afterwards paid by Worth county,
have heard a good deal of complaints
made by tiib prisoners from this coun
ty, and last May I went with the Sher
iff to cany a young man to Albany jail.
I there found that they needed more
bedding, and told Mr. Sim Herrington
to furnish the prisoners with what i
needed in the way of bedding, and to
treat them kindly, and to make ont a
bill of the thing! furnished, and if it
was reasonable I would see it paid,
saw Mr. Edwards, the Sheriff of
Dougherty county, about ten weeks
ago, and in the presence of Mr. H. H.
Rouse, of this couzty, and Mr. E.
Smith, of Leo county, I told Mr. Ed
wards to have the sick man attended to
and that I would see that the doctor’s
bill was paid, and at the same time Mr.
Edwards told me that our prisoners
were complaining about ^something to
sleep on, and I told him to get what
was needed and send it out with his
bill for jail fees, and I would pay it.
And I now have the bill in my pocket
for $9 for 6 pair of blankets. You
will very much oblige me if you will
publish the aboTC.
Respectfully.

Ordinary Worth County.
How to Complain to Council.
This world is foil of complaints, and
many people are at a loss to know who
to apply to tor relief from the numerous
troubles which daily beset them. The
City Council of Albany have been
roundly abused for a number of years
on account of a failure on the part of
those aggrieved to tnako known to the
proper persons their grievances. We

benefit of our citizens, and they may

Several weeks ago says the Atlanta
Post-Appeal, Mr. E. H. Bloodworth
resigned his position as cashier of tho
Barnesville Saving Bank. He made
his report and found that he vas about
(6,000 short, which he ascribed to
clerical errors, although he could not
specify the errors. By Agreement
with the managers of the bank, Mr. J.
N. Harris, of Attynt*, called in as
an expert to go over tho books. Sir.
Harris performed his work and render
ed a report reducing the discrepancy
to about (5,000. To this Mr. Blood-
worth excepted, and the arbitrators
were agreed upon. Finally, after an
exhaustive examination of the books, it
was found that Mr. Bloodworth was
indebted to the bank in the sum
of (915. This little incident shows
the dangers and perplexities of inaccu
rate book-keeping.
Death of Hra. midrod Corley.
On Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock,
Mrs. Mildred Corley, wife of Mr. Peter
Corley, died at tlio home of her brother,
Mr. B. J. Ragan, near this city, of penn-

Cemetery.
Mr. Corley, the husband of deceased,

All About au Ax.
About 8 o'clock Tuesday night Charley
J ones, colored, from Lee county, fol
lowed a white man into the store of
Greenfield & Brown, and whilst the
clerks were engaged waiting op the
white man the aforesaid trooper slyly
took an ax from the counter, concealed
it under his cloak, and marched ont
with it Mr. Brown happened to be
standing in front of the store,
and saw the negro hide the ax
somewhere about the door of the News
and Advertises office. Suspecting
tSat something was wrong, Mr. Brown
kept a watch on Charley until a police
man could bo found. Officer Herring
ton was soon on the spot; the ax was
found whero the negro had been seen
to hide it and there was no longer any
grounds for doubting that Mr. Brown’s
suspicions jrcre well founaed. Charles
was locked up.

Dm- Norris, a
colored - tanner from Terrell county,
came to town with a bale of cotton,
which he store! with Messrs. N. 4 A.
F. Tilt 4 Co, instructing them to sell
it immediately. It seems that Dan was
accompanied to town by a colored
brother, one John Watkins, who was
with him when he delivered the cotton,
and heard him request its immediate
sale. John evidently kept one eye on
Dan and the other on the warehouse
men, and about 4 o’clock in the after
noon he gave his friend the dodge and
went to the office of the warehouse and
enquired if that baleofcotton bad been
sold. Upon being infoimed that it
had, he demanded the money. The
cashier asked if his name was Dan Nor
ris, to which the gay deceiver prompt
ly replied in tho affirmative. There
upon the amount realised from the
sale of the cotton, (50, was pud over
to him, and he receipted for the same,
signing his name as Dan Norris.
In course of half an hour Dan Nor
ris, the real owner of the cotton, ap
plied for his money, when, tolls utter
astonishmeht, he was informed that it
had already been collected. Explam-
followed which convinced the
and Dan both that they but
had a sharp trick played on them, and
they at once set ont in search of John' hy sc

recovered all the money except ten
cents, which he had spent for luncheon.
He wss not arrested, but was permit

By reference to our advertising col

appear at the Open House on the 18th.
They have made ns repeated visits,
and are universally popular with Al

to commend them. They have already
won a reputation here. Of the Bergers,
that well-known amd reliable paper,

preciated the entertainment more high

Lake” (a* it was sometimes derisively
termed), in front of A P. Greer's resi
dence on l-road Street Councilman
J. M. Mercer's plan was a success
from the first, and not as Judge Clark
puts it down. That sceomnlation of
water (first commencing about 1846 or
1848) had long been an eye-sore to the
citizens. Daring the AdminUtntiom of
R. F. Lyon as Mayor it waff determin
ed to pet rid of it, if possible. J. M.
Mercer, Yuell G. Rust (I think) and
myself were members of the CounciL
I have forgotten the names of the oth
ers. We employed the engineer >f tho
Sooth Ga. 4 Florida Bailroad^(then
being built from Smithville to Albany)
to make the survey and give us an es
timate of the cost of draining it into
Flint River. His plan was to carry it off
to tho alley running between
Broad and Commerce streets, and
down that alley to the Bivcr. Hit es
timate of coat was something over
(500 I In discussing the matter
in the Council Chamber, when the
plan came np for action, the amount
of money in the then condition
of our finances and future pros poets
etaggered us. Allusion was made to
the natural outlet for the waters flow
ing into that depression, which once
existed. We all remembered the time
when there was a “sink-hole,” in which
the water flowed and passed away, in a
short time alter a flood of run.
stated to the rest of tho members, that
at ono time my path home and back to
business lay through that lot, going in
at about where the stable then stood,
and going out at the corner of what is
now tho residence lot of Judge
Jackson; that in 1846 a large pine was
blown down by a storm, and fell with
its top]ovcr the “sink-hole,” and that no
doubt tho pino straw, with the washing
in of mud, had stopped it up. Mr.
Mercer stated that if there ever had
been an underground passage there he
could find it again, and that such a
drain would naturally flow into the
Bivcr. While some were unbelievers
m tbo powor of a “snitch” as a driving
rod, we all agreed to give it a trial, be
cause of inability to proceed upon the
plan of onr engineer. Well, next
morning, by appointment, a committee
of na, with tho Mayor and Mr. Mercer,
met—ho made the teat; found tho
stream, and Khowed where a well might
be dug to strike water. A well-digger
was employed, who soon found tho
stream running off under an arch of
rock, merely closed in at the top. On
reaching the rock, a well directed
blows sorvod to make a sufficient open
ing into it to carry off the water we
might throw into it A sewer was then
dug from the rock foundation of tho
well back to a level of the lowest part
of tho pond. The well was earned
with brick from bottom to top; the
sewer arched over with brick ont from
the well some distance, and then com
pleted with plank; the dirt filled i<i
over the sewer; tho water turned on,
and “Presto 1” the pond ran off. The
only fear then was that the increased
flow of water might clog up with its
sedimeo t the underground passage,
but if did not Tho experiment was a
success, and skeptics no longer laughed
at Jim Mercer's water witchery. The
Success of this trial, very soon thereaf
ter, led to the digging of a well at the
intersection of Broad aad Washington
streets, tho point designated by him,
and discovered by the same device—
a simple forked twig held in his hands.
The lackjof facilities (or watering stock,
when the people came in from the
country to trade, led to its being dug,
and that was selected as the most cen
tral and convenient spot That well, I
believe, has been filled np or covered
over. I can very readily account for
Judge Clark’s mistake about the pond,
well sad dnio. It filled up once, and
the for a time, waa larger than ever be
fore. It was, 1 think, daring the war,
when an an usual GUI of rain came, an-
owing to some defect in the curbing or
•ewer, the latter was washed out, and
the well caved hi for many feet around,
which Hopped the flow oftLe water.
We were not in funds or force then to
repair it, and it remained in that condi
tion for some ttmo. This is the time,
no doubt, which has left the impression
upon Judge Clark’s mind that we did
not succeed in draining upon the Mer
cer plan on first trial. -
Now for cold. The coldest two day*
within my memory were the 12th and
13th of February, 1852. That whiter
ushered in by .the “Big Sleet,”
which fell in December, and by on the
ground a week or more. Nearly all
the pine saplings were broken oil; or

cumulations out of my hone’s shoes.

Tho winter of 1855-6, to which Jndgo

but becauso the temperature remained

it kept freezing for about a week,

A Sad Christmas in England
A diapatch from Dublin to the Times
says: “It is generally said that so dull,
and sad a Christmas has never boon ex
perienced here. Sullen depression
marks tho spirit of the people, and
traders who have for some time been
feeling very acutely the effects or the
disturbed state of the country are be
ginning to exhibit signs of great embar
rassment But the agitation which is
paralyzing trade, putting capital to
flight and poisoning commercial life
still extends its deadly influence, white
tho sufferers look on its progress in
helpless dismay.
