the kind ever witnessed in our city.

The report was read by Capt Davis
himself, in open coart, and was highly

A fall and concise statement of all the
assets and liabilities of the firm of
Welch & Bacon, together with a Tory
.satisfactory feport showing the transac

of the firm were placed into his hands,
were folly set forth. The report was
si plain and satisfactory that a motion
wai made by one of the attorneys to
have it printed for tho information and

thereupon passed an order in accord

we invite the special attention of onr

their immense establishment yesterday
and saw one of the largest assortments
of general merchandise—embracing all
the leading articles for which there is
demand in this section—that he has
ever seen in Southwest Georgia. They
have now in store a very extensive
stuck of spring and summer goods,
and aro constantly receiving more.
Their facilities for buying goods are
second to no firm in this section, and
they are therefore able to sell at the
very lowest cash prices. Having pur
chased the entire stock of merchandise
owned by tho'firm of Welch Sc Bacon
at the time of their recent failure,
Messrs. N. Sc A. F. Tift Sc Co. have
opened a bargain department on their
second floor, and are selling some of
these goods at less than they can he

these goods are old and damaged,

Will II Fag to Plant Provision
Crap* I
The News and Advertises lias re
peatedly urged npon the farmers of
this section the importance of planting
provision crops, and we are gratified
to announce that the acreage planted
this year is somewhat larger than here
tofore. We are certain, however, that
a sufficient supply of corn, small grain,
potatoes, peas, ctih, has not been pnt
in. Cotton remains the principal crop;
but we believe the increase of food
crops this year will lead to a still
greater increase in 1882.
In conversation the other day with
an old and highly respected citizen of
tho county, be informed us that one
year previous to the war he shipped
from Dongherty county direct to Ire
land 15,000 bushels cf corn, and that
he could always find a steady market
for It. He is satisfied that a South
west Georgia farmer can make more
clear money planting corn than he can
with cotton.
“Why,’’said he, “take, for instance,
sweat potatoes. They sell here at fifty
cents per bushel, and the Albany mark
et has never been folly supplied. Any
farmer in the county can make three
hundred bushels to the acre.” “Then,”
said he, “I understand cow peas are
gelling in Albany at $1.50 per bushel,
and these are shipped to onr town from
Middle and North Georgia, while there
ought to ho enough of these raised in
Dougherty county to supply the Al
bany market There’s money in them
for farmers at 50 cents per bnshel.”
This subject is one of serious con
cern to onr farmer friends and to the
fntnre of onr section. Oura is an ag

Sanodine cures scratches on horses]
The passing stranger within our
ga'et who.chanced to witness the suf
ferings of a poor old ox on Broad street
Saturday would hardly think that we
had any law in Georgia for the punish
ment of cruelty to animals. Two
lean, half-starved, sore-necked oxen,
driven by a negro, drew a cart loaded
with wood. The poor beasts were
kept standing witli tho weight of the
load pressing the yoke to their sore sad
bleeding necks for an hoar or more,
when a gentleman came along aud
bought the wood. When the negro
started to deliver the load, one of the
oxen, unable to proceed further, fell to
the ground, and was too weak to get on
his leet again. When tho yoke was
removed the sight that was seen by
those standing near "was really sicken
ing. Thcjskin had been rubbed off tho
poor beast’s neck, and, thus tortured,
he had to “hear the yoke’’ and serve his
cruel master. The yoke was placed
npon the bleeding sore again, and the
poor beast was lashed and told to “go
’long” as if nothing had been the mat
ter.

From the Atlanta papers of yesterday

sensational and contradictory in many
particulars. From the Constitution’*
statement it seems that the
State had a deposit there
amounting to $103,00(X Tho State
holds that it has a first lien on tho as

of Atiauta have a deposit of $47,000.

To the
W*jams Bifid.
It was announced in these columns
last week that the Undersigned had
been engaged by the authorities of the
railroad companies whose lines trav
erse this portion of Sonthern Georgia,
and Joseph Tillman, editor of the
Wayerosa Reporter, to call upon yon
a their representative with a plan to
colonise immigrants on your disposa
ble land, and to solicit yonr co-opera
tion in this movement.
Thu plan proposed is ample, and may
be briefly stated. It is to pool all
lands to the railroad company that
yon are willing to dispose of to actual
settlers, said lands to be surveyed in
lots of fifty or one handled acres, as
desired, by the company, and each al
ternate lot to be pledged by the owner
in writing under seal, for sale vr dona
tion to inch immigrant or immigrants
as may be induced to settle ihereon
within a apecified time by the compan-
ny.
If the number of acres thus pooled,
or transferred under a ample bond for
titles, be sufficient to instiry the effort
and tho expenditure, the railroad com
pany will canto to be made the neces
sary surveys and maps, and have the
same duly advertised in proper form
for domestic and foreign distribution ;
and will offer all reasonable facilities
and attractions to induce immigrants
to come and occupy each alternate lot
ao surveyed and set apart, the owner
to retain tho remaining alternate lot
for sale or settlement at his option.
I present this scheme to you undor
the'auspices of the railroad authorities,
and your pledges will be made to them
under the considerations above stated.
I therefore respectfully invite yonr at
tention to the subject,- and earnestly
invoke yonr advice and hearty co-oper
ation in the great work. I shall visit
all points along the lines as rapidly as
possible, and see as many of yon in
person as time and opportunity will al
low, bnt you can aid me materially
and facilitate the work by dropping
me a postal card, stating the n am her of
acres you will pool, and where, locat
ed. Address me at Way cross.
It i* also a part oi my engagement to
visit all points of interest along the
lines of the railways, and
prepare a descriptive directory or guide
book, shewing the resources, industries,
capabilities and attractions of the coun
try wa live in.
For the more rapid and convenient
performance of this portion of my work
I hare selected Waycross as the most
central point, and the Reporter for
publication as the picture unfolds.
I propose to visit every accessible
point, and give each and every indus
try, enterprise, institution, place and
thing a ■‘place in the picture.” Agri
culture and the mercantile interests,
manufacture and tho arts, education
and public morals, climate, soil, water,
healthfolness and the people shall
have carofol attention, and the duties

Oregon, has passed a law requiring
every one who drinks to take ont a li
cense costing $5* a year. Only upon
this license, carried in the pocket like a
pass, can the staff be obtained. The
Wisconsin law is also peculiar. It al
lows no treating. He who wants it
most take it for the right reason, be
cause he loves it, and not for the so
ciability of the thing. The Index
suggests that in Georgia a good plan
would be to haTe only a front room; no
back room and no screen, Venetian or
otherwise, and the front to be always
open, or made of glass, and at night a
foil glare of electric lights. In short,
to hare the whole thing open « day.
All these suggestions are better pre
ventives than the Maine law.
