CLOSING EXERCISED
Of Mr*. n. A. Tliornbury’a School.
The largest audience that ever got
Tift’s Hall was packed in there
Thursday night. There was at least
fire hundred people scrouged into the
place after the style of' sardines in
box. This was certainly complimen
tary to the teachers, pupils and par
cuts.
Well, before us is the programme
that was gone through with. There
are about forty pieces upon it. In
listening to it people sat up until
12 o’clock. The reporter of the
News and Advebtiseb could not
;et a seat hut by hanging him
self on to the outer ritn of the
'lack banisters managed to enjoy the
uidietice’s enjoyment, and we are ex
pected to write it up. The perform
ance was simply wonderful, is all we
tear from every lip. Little toddlers
hardly out of their swaddliug, enter*
ained and made that tremendous eon-
I rogation of people forget the cares of
he world. At times the most un
bounded and, iu fact, wildest applause
■could cause lite building to shake at
lie baby-lisp of some little cherub,
while all through the most attentive
respect was paid the performers.
Miss Leila Thornbury deserves
the greatest praise and credit for the
manner in which she led the kinder
garten. Miss Chase, the teacher, left
for her Northern home a few weeks
since, and tlie duty of conducting tho
kiudergarten devolved upon Miss Leila,
ind Iiow well she sustained herself is

with intent to murder Joe Cooper, and
murder in the case of John Cooper,
fudge Warren, after hearing testimony
ol (lie State and the defense, bailed
him on the first charge in the sum of

liminary trial waived in the sum of
12,000. Mr. Johuson therefore re
mains at liberty until the next term of

trial subject to the finding of the

Mra. Collier’* School Cloaea.
The capacious and comfortable par
lors of Mr. B. A. Collier’s residence
were crowded witli an audience of
many more than an hundred friend*
to witness the closing exercises or
Mrs. Collier’s school Friday evening.
The arrangements for an auditorium
and stage were similar to those at the
recent exercises for the benefit of the
Baptist church held there.
Tlie programme was of the most en
tertaining arrangement, and every fea
ture of it was carried out with precis
ion, self-confidence and success, by
all of the youthful performers. Each
of the little ones seemed determined
and dead set on acting well his or her
part, and a critic would he at a loss lo
determine which deserved the distinc
tion above tlie oilier. They all be
trayed a careful trainirg—a training
that only a true teacher can give, and,
to (his energetic lady, possessing all the
attributes leading to distinction
in her profession, the audi
ence was indebted for a most
glorious evening of enjoyment While
the exhibition displayed smart chil
dren in public, still there was an un
dercurrent of appearance that indicat
ed that not all the days of their school
term had been spent in preparing for
this one exhibition; that the instruc
tion they had been receiving through
that school term was not for a display
in public, as is so common in latter
day education.
Among the principal features was
the recitation of “Charlie Macree,’’ by
Nannie Davis, who did
full justice to it. It would
be useless to tell any person
who knew Miss Louise Warren was to
take part in the exercises, that she did
her part well. Little Mordacia Wes-
low was inimitable in his recitation,
and no one could help thinking him a
little embryo tragedy king. “Papa’s
Letter,” in the sweet language of little
Adrienne Collier, went to every heart,
and she won unstinted applause. A
wonderful little piano performer is Miss
Mamie Crowe, and the patient, thor
ough training of her mother will; one
of these days, give her to the ranks of
the distinguished musicians of the coun
try. Masters Bryan Collier and Wil
der brought down the house in the
charade: “A Cure for Obstinacy.’’
Mrs. Collier’s school now goes into
vacation. We hope the teacher and
the children will extract ail the en
joyment possible therefrom.
The prize for general excellence
was awarded to Miss. Della Collins,
of Mitchell County.
A Good Movement,
A petition is being circulated in
Dougherty county for signatures, and
is being signed cheerfully by all to
whom it is presented, asking the
Board of County Commissioners to re
fuse in future to issue to any one a
license to retail spirituous liquors in
the connty beyond the limits of the
city of Albany. This, at first flush,
looks arbitrary, bat when properly
considered the conclusion cleuly pre
sents itself that it is a step ‘ fraught
only with good. It is to break up the
little cross-roads doggery that does so
much to demoralize the labor of every
plantation. Those convenient festers
which spot the county and work rnin
upon a class of onr citizens who seem
powerless to resist temptation. These
deadfalls are a curse to the connty,
for besides dispensing their deadly
manufactured liquor, they are bat
the warehouses in which is stored all
the stolen cotton that the plantations
will miss just-as soon as the fleece
bursts from its boll. The Commis
sioners are urgently asked to shot op
these little gin mills, which they have
a perfect right to do under section
1419 of the Code.

an I was, to a great extent, very amus
ing to thetn.in his repartees and sallies
On the night of the day of his arrival
there was a social gathering at the resi
dence of Mr.W.T. Mauud, close by the
business portion of the town, and the
music of the parly attracted Buchanan,
who took his s< at open a stump with
out as a listener to the music. Here he
remained nntil the party was over, and
t ie revellers, on their way home, pass
ed him, one or two indulging in
willy sallies at his expensejo which he
responded wilh an effort of ihe same
kind. The next morning the dead
body oi Buchanan was found near the
same stump with a bullet hole ill it. A
dark murder wilh no clue as to who
perpetrated it! The authorities made
an attempt to sifl the matter, and five
of the young men participating in the
party were arrested, hut, in a comiml-
tal trial, no evidence to attacli the
crime to them was adduced, and they
wero released. Dark rumors were
whispered about, and the substance of
them was, tliatj. T. Mauud, son of
the gentleman at whose house the par
ty was given, had fired the fatal shot.
He was one of the five who had been
acquitted, and it is supposed from that
fact lie felt no uneatiness. A few
months rolled by, and a week or (wo
ago we read of his marriage to Miss
Kendrick, daughter of Dr. Ivendcick, a
well known citizen of the place. The
marriage was a Gretna Green affair,
and it is stated that Dr. Kendrick’s
objection to the suit of young Maurd
was the cloud that rested over him in
regard to the killing of Buchanan.
The grumblings of the public, wanting
justice meted out to the mail who had
done a cold blooded, unprovoked mur
der, grew louder and more distinct,
and tlie name of Maund was unreserved
ly coupled with tlie crime.
A lew' weeks ago Capt. Dick West-
hiook went down to Ty Ty on a little
detective business, and while there got
on the almost cold trail of the Buch
anan murder. He gathered np a few
threads and immediately set to work.
He was not long in putting together
lie chain that made J. T. Maund.

With Sheriff Felix Edwards he went
to Ty Ty Friday, and performed
tlie arrest. No resistance was offer
ed, and in compliance with a request
of Ihe prisoner lie was brought to Al
bany in the afternoon without
manacles. He was accompanied by
his father, and his friend, a Mr. Tliomp
son.
A reporter of the News and Ad
vertiser called on him at the Bogen
House, where lie was detained until
dusk and was introduced. He is a
young man of apparently 23 years of
age.-and rather good looking. lie is a
printer by trade, and is the owner and
publisher of _lhe Ty Ty Echo, Mr.
Thompson, his friend, being the editor.
He was reluctant in talking about his
trouble, and the reporter refrained
from boring him with questions re
garding it. Upon other topics, how
ever, lie conversed freely and well.
He was raised in Dawson, Ga., where
he learned the printer’s trade, and has
been a resident of Ty Ty but a short
while. Dick Westbrook says his wife
is a sweet little thing, having more
the appearance of a little school girl
than of a matron. She, of course, is
in great distress over her husband’s
trouble.
There wasa lot of conferring and
consnllatiou Friday evening about
what course matters would take, but
evidently nothing looking towards a
release of the prisoner was done, and
at nightfall Maund was locked in jail.
The reporter ran np on Maund,pere,
last niglit and the old gentleman is
very much distressed. He bore up
well in liis trouble until the key was
turned on his hoy. “They’ve g- t my
boy yonder in jail,” said he as the
tears trickled down his cheeks, “for
something he’s innocent of. They
had a committal trial in Ty Ty before
the justice and he was released, then
they took it before the grand jury at
Isabella, and no true bill could be
fonnd, and now they have brought
him here to undergo another trial. It
is too mnch for me and I am unnerv
ed.” -
The preliminary trial was begun yes
terday before Judge Warren. The
State will be competently represented,
while the defense will have a showing
through Col. C. B. Wooten, Col. E. G.
Simmons, of Americtis, and Mr. J.'F.
Thompson, of Ty Ty. Hon. Allen
Fort, the law partner of Col. Simmons,
will likely participate with the de
fense also.
In Compllojenl to Ttiomaavllle.
One of the most delightful social
events of the season was a soiree given
in honor of two of Thomasville’s most
charming belles, Misses Whitehead
and Wright, at the residence of Judge
John Jackson, last Tuesday night by
the young men of the city. The crowd
was not large but j ust enough to make
it pleasant^ and every one seemed to
enjoy themselves. The genial host
and hostess, while somewhat advanc
ed in years, joined in the festivities,
and were untiring in their efforts to
make every one have a good time.
At 12. o’clock prompt refreshments
were served, and all partook heartily.
All the young ladies were handsome
ly dressed and the occasion was one of
perfect merriment
they will make their stay in Albany as
long as possible, and that it will prove
as pleasant to them a3 it surely will lo

years from now. 2nd. Mr. Steph
ens has the qualifications for a Gov-’
ernor—that he is a remarkable man,
one around whom clusters theaffec-
tions of the people; but he is lack
ing in health to do the neat work of
a Governor. The State cannot af
ford to lose the services of a live, ac
tive, business man, just to pander to
the romantic sentimentality of hav
ing the noble old sage of Liberty
Hall, now an invalid seventy years
of age, for Governor. Gov. Colquitt
told Mr. Stephens that his name
would solidify the Democrats. It
will not solidify the regular organ
ized, as the party is called; nor will
his race bring back to the party the
Independents. This coalition is a
reality. The people prefer to let the
‘old politicians” retire.
—People smoke too much for this
climate. So many people have dys
pepsia, suffer from nervousness and
debility. Our physicians say smok
ing too much is one of the' canscs.
‘In the window of a Philadelphia
tobacco store is a life-size figure of
the American eagle, made entirely
of cigars. It is an ingenious con
trivance, and its symbolism is not
inappropriate. Young America, es
pecially of the spread-eagle type, is
well represented by a cigar. The
lad who has a cigar in his mouth
counts himself a fair representative
of the Republic, aud the real repre
sentatives of the Republic are pretty
sure to have a cigar in their mouths.
The Philadelphia tobacco, dealer de
serves credit for his ingenuity, but
the citizens of the Republic are not
to be congratulated that the tobacco
dealer has made such a hit in his
sign-making. A cigar covered eagle
may answer very well over onr heads
in the smoke of battle; bnt, in these
days of piping-peace, his bill and
talons are tearing the vitals ont of
young and old in our Republic.”—

—We see that Cochran, Haile &
Co. have the bagging piled up ready
for cotton. This reminds ns that
Twitty & Culpepper have a public
gin. But they have not accommo
dations enongh—especially for seed.
Let the seed arrangement be im
proved. Do not forget this, Ms
Wilson White has charge of
mill, and he is faithful to
work.
—James Wilson, a year or so ago,
bought a poor place South of Camil
la. He has
fully, put
makes good crops,
work with his own
white man in Mitchell county, and
finds time to attend to his church
services as regularly as the preacher.
We mention this to show what
and plnck can do. Mr. Wilson
has a very desirable home.
—Judge J. J. Bradford says he
not for Alex. Stephens nor
time to Miller county. Hon. D. A.
Rnsssell, of Decatur, then Jndge
Baggs, of Mitchell, now it is Miller’s
time. It will he conceded without
opposition, we guess. If Miller docs
not want it, we would like to send
Judge Baggs back. Judge Baggs
and W. N. Spence made a good
team in the Inst Legislature. Col.
Heard, of Miller, is popular over
here, but wc do not propose to sug
gest.
—Rev. Mr. Graves, the Presby
terian minister, preaches in Camilla
every fourth Sabbath. He has
made a splendid beginning, and
commands large congregations.t
—The mass meeting in Camilla is
on the 4lh of July—the old fourth
—the day once celebrated 1 Let us
celebrate it by looking after the in
terests of the State. The work .of
turning out Democrats in Congress
goes bravely on. Yet we most cele
brate 1 Come to the meeting.
—The feeling is general to send
H. G. Turner back to Congress. He
should he sent a second term, as no
Representative is at his best in Con
gress tlie first term’
—Gov. Brown favored clerks for
Senators. We read an interview
years ago (or a speech) from L. Q. C.
Lamar, in which be took the same
ground as Senator I^rown now
does. We think they are right.
Rich men can hire clerks; bnt poor
Senators cannot. How can a Sena
tor be prepared lo act intelligently
upon the great qnesiions of the coun
try and then have to do drudging
work? Mr. Lamar convinced ns
years ago.
—We were at the depot Saturday
evening. Much business . is done
there now. We Were surprised.
—Dink Davis has just turned him
self loose. Chan Jones can’t touch
Dink. Dink says his land is rich.
That is the only way he can account
for his crops being better than his
neighbors—says he knows Sim
Bowles is the best farmer, but his
(Dink’s) land just produces the most I
—Cotton is nothing to brag aboht.
It is small and docs not look well,
It is virtually a late crop and sub
ject to Ihe caterpillars.
—In Baker county all the taxes
have been collected except the small
amount of ten dollars. This, too, in
a county foil ol negroes. In Thom
as connty only forty-six dollars re
mains uncollected. This is a good
showing. In this county $300 re
main uucollected. We will give the
commissioners space to explain this.
Will not our people pay their tax
dues as well as those of 'Baker and
Thomas?

STRENGTH
to vigorously push a business,
strength to study a profession,
strength to regulate a household,
strength to do a day’s labor with
out physical pain. All this repre
sents what is wanted, in the often
heard expression, “Oh I I wish I
had the strength!” If you are
broken down, have not energy, or
feel as if life was hardly worth liv
ing, you can be relieved and re
stored to robust health and strength
by taking BROWN’S IRON BIT
TERS, which is a true tonic—a
medicine universally recommended
for all wasting diseases.
BROWN’S IRON BITTERS it
a complete and sure remedy: for
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Malaria,
Weakness and all diseases requir- ’
ing a true, reliable, non-alcoholic
tonic. It enriches the blood, gives
new life to the muscles and tone
to the nerves.
