AVe cjmincnd the following note of
warning, from the Macon Telegraph,
to .he Albany Board of Health. Ther,
is no doubt that the scourge has a
foothold in a number of places
throughout the State, and onr com
munity is liable to a visitation any
day: “We had begun to entertain
the hope- that the few cases of small
pox, in some of onr cities and towns,
would constitute the limit of the rava
ges of that dread disease. The present
outlook, however, is not cheerful, and
■ the health officers everywhere should
prepare to meet the loathsome enemy.
Thk election for Constable pa-sed
off quietly last Saturday—so quietly
in fact that not a single voter or man
ager knew that anything of the kind
was on hand. In other wort’s, the
whole thing went by default. Dough
erty will have to import a set of
managers for the next election. The
most difficolt preliminary to an elec
tion here for some time past has been
to get up a board of managers and
clerks. At the late county election it
was fully 11 o’clock before any were
found willing to undertake the job.
All of which suggests some remarka
ble oversight or deficiency in onr
State election laws, - which should be
ventilated between now and the sum
mer session of the .General Assembly.

Death or Edwin Belehar.
This prominent colored politician,
well known in this, as in every other
section of the State, died at his home
in Augusta on Sunday last of typhoid
pneumonia. He was an efficient pos
tal clerk on the Georgia Bailroad at
the time of his death. The Evening
Newt says of him:
“He was a bright and talented col
ored man, and was in every sense a
leader among his people. His work
in the Post Office Department was al
ways prompt and his ability was ad
mitted. He was noted especially for
his superb penmanship, and fine work
in this department He has a brother
in the service, and they are both very
popular.”
The Fountain.
We are asked every day or two
when the new City Council are going
to move the fountain. That it is to be
allowed to remain where it is. ob
structing the flow of onr pnre’artesisn,
and incommoding the pnblic who paid
for the well, appears not to enter into
any one’s calculation. There never
was, probably, a public work that met
with snch universal condemnation
from the start as this same fountain.
To bore a well at snch great expense
of time, labor and money, and then,
when success crowned the effort, to
deliberately plug it up with a huge
fountain, was a crowning stroke on
the part of the late conncil which the
people fail to appreciate.

Messrs. Welch & Muse have engaged

He has made the reputation of being

last of the attractions for tho country
darkey has disappeared, and the pros
pect now is that the real beginning of
the new year is 0(100 ns rather earlier
than common. So far as has come to
our knowledge, there has been less
trouble in securing labor this year
than for several years pi-t, and there
can be no doubt that the abundant grain
crop of last fall has had much to do
with such a satisfactory state of af
fairs. The negro, as a rale, has a far
more affectionate longing towards a
well filled crib and smoke house, than
for promises, ever so flattering, based
solely upon cotton. Having learned
from experience the way to keep
down disaffection and a disposi
tion to roam among tlu-ir hands, the
farmers in this section should not be
slow to improve upon the hint, and
plant even more largely than the past
year, in corn and other grain. The de
sire, we may add, to see something
tangible to fall hack upon in case of
disaster of any kind, is by no means
confined (o the colored race. With
the late ruling pi ices for cotton, fol
lowing close upon a short or even an
avenge grain crop, the condition of
Southwest Georgia would be far dif
ferent and far worse than it is just
now. The vastly improved looks of
the stock-all through the country,
and tile difficulty experienced by
stockmen and male drover* ill effect
ing sales, as compared with past sea
sons, sufficiently attest what may be
accomplished for our section by a lit
tle prudence and foresight in pitching
this year’s crop. Let Dougherty
county then, once for nil, resolve to de
throne king cotton, slid our county
wilt, in a faw j ears, rival Arcadia.

Joe Henry Wat-on Tuesday night
Joe Henry is a plnsteicr, and works for
John Burnett. He has been a “sus
pect’ 1 ever since the stores of J. G.
Stephens and 31. Cline were bnrglar-
•zed, and M r. Westbrook arrested him
thinking thn' he had sufficient evi
dence to connect him with one or per
haps both of these burglaries. Some
goods were found in the bo3’s pos
session which evidently did not be
long to him, bin lli. v did not answer
to the description of those stolen eith
er from CspL Sicpliens or Mr. Crine.
He co Teased to stealing some of the
goods, hut -*i(l ibat lie never got
them at cither Stephens' or Crine’s.
He is still in limbo, and may yet be
induced to “give away something”
that will lead to the apprehension of
the burglars who have been operating
so boldly in the city of late. Joe
Henry, in company witli one or two
others, was convicted of burglarizing
Mr. Hiram Tison’s store two or three
years ago, fur which he served twelve
months in the penitentiary.
The Mysterious Convict.
Gov. Stephens, in ore of his news
paper interviews a short time since
with a reporter of the Atlanta Consti
tution, intimated that it was his inten
tion, after he had got his hand in, we
presume, to issue his warrant of par
don to a certain nnnamcil coioied
worn an who hid been an inmate of the
penitentiary since 1863, and against
whom there appeared no record of
any crime or charge whatever. He
farther stated that the woman claimed
to be frum Albany, Ga, but did not
know what crime she was charged
with. That ' the authorities here
coaid give - no account of her to his
Secretary, who had bectf charged with
obtaining information about the case.

good Jesus as the Healer ? “If so, let
him come forward, aud I will annoint

There is no command or promise in
the Bible plainer than this.”
Four meu and three women walked
down the aisle. They were all past
the middle age. They looked like in
telligent and respectable people and
were well dressed. Going to them the
Evangelist asked of the first one he
came to:
“Dear brother, do you trust Jesus to
heal you—the best you can?”
The man replied that be did, as did

Heirs and Advertiser:
This bright little hamlet, bearing
the name of one of Bulwer's famous
novels, is -Hunted, as your readers
well know, on the line of the S., F. &
W. road The' writer was agreeably
surprised 10 note the many evidences
of thrift and enterprise manifested on
every side. A stranger is not long
finding out that tho master spirit and
originator of nil this progress is the
prince of good fellows, the lion. J. L
Hand, who, in the brief space of a few
years, has built up a business that in
the future will place hire, in the front
rank of our Southern merchants. Mr.
H. is also the controller of four or five
turpentine distilleries, which, outside
of his mercantile pursuits, afford s
source of splendid revenue. I could
cot refrain from expressing gratifica
tion in the highest degree at having an
opportunity to witness the effect of
one man’s pluck and energy in creat
ing, as it were, a town of his own, that,
judging from its healthfnl location
and surroundings, is destined to be
come a city of considerable impor
tance. The distance below Camilla is
only eight miles, and yet it is claimed
that Pe|ham stands st the top of a
grade one hundred and sixty feet
above that of Camilla, and per conse
quence, offering the site of one of the
most healthfnl cities in the State. In
conclusion, we wish unbounded suc
cess to Pelham and the Pelhamites.

ApplYlnz for Tiros.
Should the need appear, we call the
attention of our health authorities to
the following from the Atlanta Con
stitution. Forewarned is forearmed:
A demand for Tacrine virus is com
ing up from different parts of the
State. Governor Stephens on yes
terday received two applications from
Gwinnett county and fears were ex
pressed by the applicants that small
pox would spread in that county.
Applications have also been received
from Perry, Cartersville and other
places. The Isw authorizes the Gov
ernor, either by manufacture or pur
chase, to get Tsccine matter and to
employ some person to dispose of it.
Heretofore Dr. T. S. Powell has beeu
employed as the State’s vaccine agent
at a salary of $150 per annum. Gov
ernor Stephens has determined to pur
chase the vaccine matter and to keep
a supply and to employ whatever help
is needed for the distribution and to
letthe bill be made ont for the ser
vices rendered. That abolishes the
State veacins agent 1 * office.

I Tiew . » nd ‘°° k occasion to call alien- q "^n"’ th( , ETange ii st knelt in
: tion to it specially with a view of ob- 11 —’ '
! taining, if possibh, some information
of this unrecorded crime, which had
baffled the researches of Gov. Steph
ens and his Secretary. The clue fur
nished by the said interview, it is true,
was very slight, but then we had
court records covering the time men
tioned, and which, moreover, have
never suffered from the depredation*
of any organized gang of record
thicres, like they have in Atlanta.
Althongh the -above interview and
our published notice of it had the
very natural effect of putting every
body here on the qtii vice, the only
response we have yet had conics front
a colored man living over on Mr.
Jesse Hill’s place, who told Bob
Forrester day before yesterday that he
knew all about the case referred to.
That the unfortunate woman’s name
was Rose McRae, who was originally
from Twiggs, ami whose husband
was a blacksmith traveling about the
country soon after the war working on
jobs, and who happened to be around
Albany about the time referred to.
That his wife was taken up on a
charge of infanticide, and was sent to
the penitentiary, not from Dougherty,
but from Bibb county.
As the colored man who gives the
above information was certain as to its
correctness, we give his statement for
what it is worth, though wo admit it
is far from conclusive or even satis
factory. Probably if the Governor,
in his next interview, will give the
name of the unfortunate convict we
may be more successful in onr re
searches into the matter.

prayer for health, but only thanks for
tile promise and praise that it was to
be fulfilled.
Then he arose and took a small bot
tle of clear oil from the side of the
Bible on the altar. He poured a drop
on the tips of the fingers of his right
hand, and then laying his hand on the
head of one of the women, said:
“And so, dear sister, in the name of
the blessed Jesus, I annoint thee with
this healing oil according to His com
mand. Thy case is in His hands. Go
on thy way rejoicing. Be of good
cheer. His love speaks the word.”
When all had been so annointed he
returned to the pulpit and said:
“Distrust symptoms; they are tests
of your faith. Whether you feel bet
ter or worse, say ‘lam healed by faith,’
and it will be so.”

would like some advice.
“Veil, goaheadt.”
“If yon were in my place and wanted
to go into business here, would von
lend your money and live on the inter

“My frien,” replied the other with a
very serious look on his face, “let me

“Are the profits large?”
“Large? How much you tinks I

“Not by a blamed sight, for I haven’t

The Combination Letter and En

The new combination letter paper
and envelope, which will be supplied
to all the Post Offices oil January 1 by
the Post Office Department at Wash
ington, is a convenience which the pub
lic has perhaps not fully realized. The
combination will be a sheet of letter
paper, with an envelope flap,having on
it a three cent stamp. All that the
sender will have to do after writing a
letter will be to fold the letter sheet,
seal it be moistening the mucilage on
the envelope flap and drop It in the
nearest Post Office, or letter box. The
combination will be sold for three
cents, and will be as great a conven
ience to the public as the postal card.
A great many stamped envelopes at
present issued by the department are
sold, but the envelope and the stamp
cost as much as the letter paper, (Lamp
and envelope will in the new combina
tion. Another feature of the new com
bination is that the name of the Post
Office selling will be printed on the en
velope.
A Deep-Rooted Affection.
Athens Banner-Watehnun.
Our readers will remember the sad
sucide of Mrs. Goldberg, of Athens, a
few months since, and that she left ]a
baby and a little girl just able to walk.
The father carried the two children to
New York, with the retention of leav
ing them with friends to raise. Bnt
the older child, a little girl, would not
permit him to leave her sight, and
while he kept away from her for sev
eral days she refuse to eat and was
slowly grieving herself to death. A
pbrsician inform 1 Mr. G. that if he
left the child it w...ild certainly die of
a broken heart, and so he
it back to Athens again,
one ^follows the father wherever he
goes, and the affection between the
pair is most touching. M’hen we con
sider the tragic death of the mother
this is one of the most touching pic
tures seen on our streets. I
Government Lands In (he Soatb.
N. O. Times Democrat.
The reiort of-the Government Land
Office for the past year shows contin
ued increasing activity in the purchase
and entry of federal lands in the South
ern States. Five years ago there was
scarcely any business doing in this line,
and the South furnished barely 5 per
cent, of the tot.nl gales for the Union,
or about 450,000 acres in idl, less than
is now sold annually in Louisiana. It
was about that time that. three facts
became evident—that the timber sup
ply of the West was becoming rapidly
exausted; that the Southern States con
tained the finest area of merchantable
wooded lands in the world, and that
this section was improving so rapidly,
and land increasing so fast each year in
value, as to make investments profit
able.
The result was a steady movement in
the purchase of Southern lands, par
ticularly pine lands, which has con
tinued ever 6ince and which has re-
su'ted in much of these lands being
taken up. The sales for 1879 in the
States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Louisiana and Mississippi were 481,174
acres; in 1880, 9GG,815 acres; in 1881,
1,517,134 acres, and in 1882, 2,335,761
acres, or 15 per cent, of all tkegovern-
ment lands sold in the Union. In other
words, in five years these sales have in
creased nearly fourfold.
These purchases and entries arc
naturally rapidlyexhanstingthe amount
of Federal land remaining unsold in the
South, which cannot amount to over
15,000,000 acres to-day. At the present
rate, even if there should be no im
provement or increase in this move
ment, six years will sec the South left
without an acre of Federal land for sale.
It may be mentioned, however, that
the three river States—Louisiana, Mis
sissippi and Arkansas—have a large
amount of State land still unoccupied,
not as fine, indeed, as those belonging
to the Federal government, as most of
it is swamp land, poorly timbered, but
which, with a proper system of drain
age and levees, would become as pro
ductive aud as valuable as any in the
country.
The greater portion of this Federal
land was taken up mainly on account
of the timber standing upon it. Very
little of this timber is being cut as yet,
but the lumbermen see that the neces
sities of the market will soon compel
them to move South, and they are
wisely providing themselves with a
supply of timber for their mills in the
near future.
The Jcracymnn Who Wanted ao See

New York Letter.
This reminds me, by the way, of a
Jerseymau who came to town to
have a look _ at Mrs. Langtry. He
had heard that she was from Jersey,
and he felt that every Jerseyman
should do his duty. After enjoying
a fifteen-cent restaurant dinner, he
asked lor a thrcc-cent cigar, and
said to the man at (be desk:
“Been to sec that ’ere hati’some
Jersey-woman yet, Cap’n ?”
“What Jersey woman T'
“Sho! I guess ye know. There

“Oh, Mrs. Langtry.’’
“That's it. Whar kin I see her.

“At Wallack’s.”
“How much does it cost t’ git in?”
. “Oil, not much; a dollar.”
The Jersey man fell back, blit
edged up again and said:
“That’s party steep, by gosh; ain't
there no way cheaper’n that ?”
A brilliant idea struck the man at
the desk, and he promptly gave the
member from Jersey the benefit.
“Yes,” he said, “you can get a
good look at her lor twenty-five
cents.”
“That’s mv Agger, old inan.
Whar?”
“At Bunnell's museum, on Broad
way.”
“What’s she doin’ thar though?”
“Why, haven’t you heard of the
Congress of Beanty ? All the hand
some women in New York are there,
showing off for a prize of $200. If
yon hurry up you’ll see Mrs. Lang
try before she leaves to get ready for
Wallack’s in the evening.”
‘By gum, I’ll do ir. Twenty-five
cents. Much obleeged, Cap’n; gim
me another o’ them segnrs.” ’
He turned up in the same place
for supper, and resumed the subject
“Well, she is a beauty an’ no mis

Putting an Ess In a Bottle.
To accomplish this seemingly in

preparation : You must Lake an egg
and soak it in vinegar, and in pro
cess.of time its shell will become
qnite soft, so thdt it may be extend
ed lengthwise without breaking; in
sert it in the neck of a small bottle
and on (muring cold water upon it,
it will assume its former figure and
hardness. This is i eally :i curiosity,
and baffles those who are not in the
secret, to find out how it is accom
plished.

and statesman, who recently died,
once said: “Blessed are they who
believe in immortality; without it
the universe is a grim and fearful

ure in thinking her identity would
not be continued, he said: “I must
say,of her what St. Theresa said of
the devil—‘Unfortunate being: she

desperate when his faith in immor
talitvlrike down, and he thought
that he should never see his wife aud
friends again.
To The Newly Married.
Damon Journal.
During the past few weeks many
young men in this country have
changed their lives from celibacy to
conjugal relations. In other words,
tired of living alone, they have mar
ried; and in this they have done
well, provided, however, they have
made judicious selections in their life
long companions. Mo man who
has been once happily married wants
to live single again if his surround
ings in life will admit of another
marriage. But it is to the young—
the newly married—that we would
address a word of counsel. And
first we would say, much depends
upon the manner in which you be
gin life as to whether your married
life is happy or unhappy, successful
or unsuccessful. • The presumption
is that nearly ail the young men who
have married within the past few
weeks are poor young men, at least
so far as the term relates to tills
world’s goods. To all such we would
say, be careful, in the very begin
ning, that you live withiu your in
come. Let’nothing induce you to
contract a debt that you will bo un-
abl; to pay promptly at its maturity.
Indeed, it is better, still, to contract
no debts at all. Let it be a rule of
life that if you want an article and
are not able to pay cash for it, do
without it until you can get tho
money to pay for it.
There is nothing so valuable to a
young malt just entering life as a
good credit, and what is meant by-
credit, after all, is nothing more than
the confidence of his fellow man.
When men lose confidence in another
they lose respect for him, and with
out the respect of your fellow man,
life would be a drudge indeed. Then
how important it is that you should
seek to establish and preserve a good
credit in the very beginning of life.
You need not be afraid to tell your
wife that you are poor—let her know
all in the very outset, and if she be a
sensible girl, of which there is usu
ally little doubt, her intuition and
fine womanly judgment will be
able at once to'suggest a coarse that
will he both happy and wise.
Make your wife your confidante.
Have no secret that you would keep
from her. If you are prosperous,
tell her so. It will make her happy,
and in proportion as she is happy
she will love you the more. -But if
you arc unfortunate, and adversity
begins to frown upon you, keep it
not from her, bnt let her know all,
and she will help yon in a way that
you had not thought of. But few
men properly appreciate the wis
dom of a wife’s counsel, for the
reason they begin too late in life to
take it. Then, again, you shsli treat
vour young wife with that same re
spect and politeness and affection
that characterized your conduct to
wards her when she was but yonr
sweetheart Never for a moment
allow yourself to treat, vour wife
less politely and attentively than
yon did yonr sweetheart. Let
each day report itself until the
little rivulet of love has spread it
self into a mighty ocean of deep,
mellow affection. Thus you will
walk together down the cycles of
time growing more happy and still
n.ore happy at every step, and when
old age comes on, yon will feel that
your life has not been spent in vain,
but, that you have lived for a pur
pose and been a blessing to the
world. Young man be wise.

Representative Hitt, formerly
secretary of legation at Paris, relates
Ihe following anecdote of Gambetta:
“I recollect calling on him one day
with Governor Hendricks at the old
editorial rooms of the Bepublican
Francaise, of which he was editor.
He received the Governor with dis
tinguished coui tesy,and the two gen
tlemen had a very pleasaut inter
view. Gambetta expressed surprise
at seeing the Governor and myself
together, for in the Frenclt school of
politics there is generally almost al
ways bitterness between political op
ponents, and often hearty hatred.
‘You were the candidate of the
Democratic party for a great office,
and I know Mr. nitt to be a Repub
lican. How is this?’ he exclaimed.
‘Why,’ was the reply. ‘Mr. Hilt and
myself are very good friends.’ Gam
betta allowed the puzzled expression
to linger on his face, and Gov. Hen
dricks added, ‘I have always enjoyed
the personal friendship of a great
many Republicans throughout my
whole political life, a sentiment
which is cordially reciprocated on
iny part.’ ‘And is that common
in yonr country- ?’ asked Gambetta.
‘Yes; nothing more so,’ said Gov.
Hendricks. ’There,’ exclaimed the
great Frenchman, ‘there is the ideal
republic!’”
Very Stranar.
