It would be a good idea for the
wide-awake business men of Albany
to send a strong deputation to New
Orleans to talk up the Flint river
question. The business men of New
Orleans, after becoming interested in
the opening of our river, would then
procure tl e co-operation of their Con
gressmen with ours, and the neces
sary appropriation for making the
river navigable to Albany might thus
be had. We would suggest that the

A Woman’s Friend*
It is not known to many people in
Albany, perhaps, that we liave an ex
tensive wholesale clothing manufac
tory here in the cit\ r . It is true that
we have such an enterprise, however,
and we have none in our city more
woithy, or that gives employment
to so many of perhaps the most de
serving class of our community, viz:
the women who have to earn their
living with the needle. The enter
prise is carried on by Mr. G. Bogen,
and he manages his business in this
way: His customers are the whole
sale clot liing houses of Macon, Savan
nah and other cities. Ho makes occa
sional trips to these cities, and
contracts with the dealers to manu
facture for them a given number of
suits of cheap clothing, The terms
being nil agreed upon, the dealer
ships the rloth to Mr. Bogen at Al
bany to he made op 1>3' him according
to specification. Mr. Bogen then cuts
the cloth into suits and gives the work
out to sewing girls and women in the
city to be made up by them at their
homes and returned to him by a given
time. Thus ho gives profitable em
ploy uient to a great many deserving
ladiis who have to make their own
support, and who would not he able
to obtain sufficient work of this kind
to keep soul and body together, if it
were not for this most beneficent en
terprise. May success attend Mr.
Bogen to a degree that will enable him
to extend his operations, and bring
a more deserving reward for his benef
icence.

the future plans and arrangements of
Col. S. in the proseention of the im
portant work he has in hand, will be
untrameled by certain ordsrsand direc
tions from headquarters under which
the work has not heretofore progressed
as systematically as could have been
desired. While no work has been
lost or thrown away, the improvement
thus far have been mostly local in
character, confined to a few shoals and
places instead of a general removal of
certain prominent obstacles, which are
known by all acquainted with the river
to present the only impediments to
navigation at all seasons of only mod
erately high water, wLich would cover
from six to nine months of the year.

The Cock Lane Ghost, which for
more than a year past has disturbed
the quiet of Dickinson's grove, and
will not allow its sable denizens to
sleep in peace, is the dreaded appari
tion of a tramp. Ever since the
memorable trump raid made on that
classic locality about a year since, the
apprehensions of another has kept its
inhabitaots in a state of chronic anxie
ty and suspense. The place is not far
from the fair grounds, where the
tramping fraternity are supposed to
burrow whenever they honor Albany
with their presence, and hence within
easy invading distance. Last Mon
day night, ss a gentleman and his
family, living near by the grove, was
about to retire, a succession of pierc
ing female shrieks were heard coming
from one of the small houses located
th: rein. At soon as ho could he made
his way to the qnarter, where he
found a large anil thoroughly fright
ened crowd of darkies of both sexes
gathered. The sbrieker was pointed
out to him in the person of a small
colored girl, who was almost in con
vulsions. All that could be gathered
by oar informant, between her parox
ysms was, that she had seen a tramp!
She knotted it was a tramp! He came
at d knocked first at the door, and then
went aronnd and opened the window
of the room where she was sleeping
and looked in. It wonld require the
genius of the late Gustave Dore to
paint the monster jnst as the girl
described him. Dante never peopled
his Injerno with a more horrible in
habitant. Inspiration conld not have
been more effectual in compelling be

which the management is at present
laboring. The business of the road has
more than donbled itself this winter,
and the great increase came so sud
denly that it was impossible to provide
enough rolling stock to move the
freights as promptly as desired. The

sire to appear as sn apologist for the

a representative of the paper has just
returned from a trip over the en
tire line, and feels, in view
of the ftet that we have
recently made mention of the
complaints that have reached us frem
time to time with reference to the
delsys that have occurred, that some
word of explanation from ns is due to
the management of this Toad. The
owners are spending their money as
fast as they can get the work done to
haTe the entire line pnt in first-class
order. Steel rails are now being laid
from Thomasville to Albany, and soon
there will be no more complaints
heard about the “slow tima’’ made on
this branch. Every man on this road,
from the section hands to the Superin
tendent, is hard at work, and many of
them are donbless sorely tried under
the unreasonable censure" and even
abase that they get from disappointed
consigners and passengers.

Your committee on cemetery have
to report that they visited the cemetery

west side fence be made new, with
upright picket fence threeinches wide,
pointed; and that the east and south
sides be thoroughly repaired with the
best of the fence torn down from the
north and west sides. The sexton
should be required to keep the lots of
strangers iu better order, and hope
this reminder will be sufficient to have
him do so hereafter. The half acre
owned by Col. Tift, fronting on^Wash-
ington street and north of the Jewish
cemetery, woald be an addition *o the
cemetery, making the north end
square; and we recommend that

Col. Tift with a view to the purchase
of the same and report_at next meet

STOCK UW IN GEORGIA.
The Future Result—Great Savins or
Expense to Farmers.
Albaxt, Ga., January 31, 1888.
Editor Netcs and Advertisers:
Gentlemen: As onr honorable rep
resentative, Mr. McIntosh, introduced
a bill in the last Legislature to pass
the stock law for the western portion
of Dougherty county, may this be
the commencement for the State at
large, and the future result will be
one of the most glorious blessings that
could possibly happen to tbo farmers
of our county. After the war closed
and the slaves were liberated the
farming interest' of the South under
went a greater chaoge than any busi
ness followed by her people. This
being true, and we living in the most
progressive age America has ever
seen, would it not be well for the
people of our empire Slate to look to
this, the greatest and most beneficial
law that her Legislature conld pass.
The State of Virginia * few years ago
passed and made this law general,
and after folly testing its results, and
for the enormous expense saved to
her farmers, the adjoining State, North
Carolina, followed next in order, and
the same result blessed her people;
then last March South Carolina. And
the traveler will find in riding through
the country each place he passes has s
P asture where all stock is kept np.
on see none along the road-side yon
pass. It is certainly one of the most
fortunate financial iesolts that could
have happened for the people of those
respective States. They will now
have less and better stock, improved
kinds will be introduced, and it will
be but a short time when they can
truthfully say why was it our ances
tors did not see this.
Those States mentioned having
been settled so long, in a great many
sections the forest has been almost
destroyed, and even where timber is
in abundance, it is getting to be a dif
ficult matter to have the fencing, as
the law directs, properly kept np.
When we look to the great fact that
the fencing of Georgia cost more than
ail her Stock is worth, it does seem
that onr people would .cheerfully ask
toe next Legielature to pass it for the
State. The greatest objection render
ed in our county is by that class of
people who have stock, and often with
bnt little, if any, land for them to
graze upon. This was the custom
and law of England, bnt we are dif
ferently sitnated from the English peo
ple. Under the present law, the land
owners of onr country who will keep
an accurate account of expenses for
fencing, repairing and keeping in
order for a series of years, will 6oon
find the expense will be greater than
the land is worth upon which it is
placed.
Entertaining these views, I do hope
that onr next Legislature will look to
this great question, and in the near fu
ture grant to her people the stock Isw
that will uplift one of the greatest fi
nancial burdens that now overhangs
her farmers. Respectfully,
Fabmee.

WALCOTT OUTDONE.
Baruch Getting Awar with Two
Geese a Day for 3G5 Days.
Athens Bsnner*Wslcbra»n.
The excitement over the New York
partridge eater should quail into insig
nificance before a feat which is now
being attempted in the quiet city of
Athens. For the past nine days Mr.
Baruch, a salesman at M. G. A J. Co
hen’s, bas been at work on two full-
grown geese a day, and he hits agreed
to repeat the performance for the next
363 days, and longer if his backers will
furnish the supplies. Thus far Baruch
is on top, as the following score will
show:
First day—Hard to tell which was
the goose and which was Baruch, but
upon examining the toes of the latter
found tliat he was not web-footed and
turned him loose. Time, two swallows
and a-balf. Ate also a peck of onions
and two yards of bologna sausage.
Second day—Baruch was two hours
abend of time. Had to go out and steal
; his gecsefromMr. Moses Myers. Tune,
i eight seconds. Also ate thirteen pieces
of bread and drank two gallons of beer;
His backers are confident.
Third day—Joe Hodgson, who is bet
ting against Mr. Baruch, conspired
with the cook and had the geese stuffed
with epicac. The eatist, after picking
the bones, said be relished that new
style of dressing very much, and asked
the cook to fix his meal that way again
to-morrow.
Fourth day—Substituted two buz
zards for the gees, but after polishing
off the carcasses in eigbt seconds Ba
ruch remarked that the fowls must
have been raised around some guano
factory, and were a little tough.
Fifth day—Gave him buzzard again,
stuffed with assafoetida. Baruch said
it was the most delicious meal he ever
tasted. Time, S seconds.
Sixth day—Mr. Baruch was behind
time. He had been admitted to the bar
too often that evening, and complained
of having no appetite. John Billups
offered to bet $20 even that lie wouldn’t
hold out to eat his twenty-fifth pair.
It was at once covered. This timetlicy
brought out two crows boiled in "soap
suds. They were eaten in four seconds,
when Mr. Baruch complained that his
contract called for full-grown geese,not
goslings.
"Seventh dav—This time set out two
geese that were manufactured to order
at the Hartford India-rubber works.
It took him 33 minutes to finish them
up. Baruch stated, as he called for bis
desert in the shape of five pounds of
Limberger cheese, that he believed he
had just eaten the original pair of geese
that Noah brought over with his me
nagerie.
Eighth day—Baruch is rather over
loaded again, and had to be brought in
on a litter. His backers are afraid that
be won’t hold out. Gave him two cats
on toast with axel grease gravy. As
he cleared up the last feline Mr. Ba
ruch said he must certaiuly be drank
as these geese seemed to lum to have
four legs each. He also thought that
he needed a tonic, as the last pair he
had eaten didn’t digest well. He took
a tonic in the shape ot two gallons of
split lightning.
Ninth day—Mr. Baruch came up
promptly to-day, his appetite whetted
up by liberal libations at Stern’s saloon.
Ilis friends set out two geese that were
hatched at the Athens foundry, of cast
iron. His knife refusing to make any
impresssion upon the carcases, the
eatist took it up in his hands. He said
his teeth certainly needed working on,
as they had never failed him before;
that if he conld only get the skin broke
on the birds he was all right. His
backers cried fowl play, bnt an exami
nation of the birds showed that there
was no fowl about them. He polished
them up, however, and claimed that be
laid got to the bone. The referees sus
tained him, and he will this morning
tackle two small sacks of high grade
ferterlizers boiled in coal-oil.
Ir the following were not vouched
for by tlie Berrien County A'etes one
might feel inclined to question its en
tire accuracy: “On the new turpen
tine farm of J. W. Rail & Co., in this
county, the hands captured 285gophers
on the 18tli ult. The incessant rains
had flooded the holes with water,^ which
forced them to come out. The oarkeys
cooked and ate them in every style ana
manner—in fact they gormandised on
gophers until they' were seriously at-
fectcd. Some of them have begun to
crawl, some have hard crusts growing
on their backs and others have left the
house and sought shelter in the desert
ed holes. These arc facts which a
dozen will swear to.”

If he has been regularly appointed,

THE BRIDE OF A NIGHT.
A Widow Before the Blaine ot the
moraine Snn.
Halifax C. H., Va., January 29.—
Mr. James Futhrie, a prosperous
young farmer, was married to Miss
Uulda Martin on Friday night. A
large company was present at the wed
ding, which was solemnized at the res
idence of the bride’s father. Owing
to the bad weather the guests remained
at the mansion all night. Yesterday
morning, when they had assembled at
the breakfast table, it was remarked
that the bride anil groom was late in
coming. Suddenly the shrieks of a
woman were heard, and the startled
guests hasteuded into the hall where
they met the bride of a night, who
cried, ‘ My husband! Oh, my hus
band !” When she awoke this morn
ing she found her husband dead by her
side. She is almost insane from grief.
His funeral will take place to-day from
the house in which he was married.
His four groomsmen will act as pall
bearers, and the minister who married
them will read the burial service.

San Fimnelsco Call, Janurary 21.
The examination of Giuseppi Per-
azzo on a charge of unlawfully marry
ing bis niece was resumed yesterday
before Police Judge Webb. The evi
dence taken in the case went to show
that Perazzo met his niece in Italy,
and being asked by her father if he
would take her for his wife, she be
ing asked if she wonld take him for
her hnsbaud, and both replying affirm
atively, they entered into a civil mar
riage contract. Perazzo then took off
hi6 ring and placed it on the girl’s
finger, after which the parents and
friends shook hands and sat down to
the family dinner. Arriving in this
city his wife desires their, union to
be santioned by the clergy, and a dis
pensation from tbe Pope to that effect
was procured and they were married
by a priest. In deciding tbe case
Judge Webb stated that if the mar
riage between nude and niece was
recognized as valid in Italy, be was
disposed to hold the defendant not
guilty, and dismissed tbe case.

Persons calling for the above letters
occurred by the spreading of the rails,
and five cars were thrown from tho
track. Two train hands, becoming
frightened, attempted to jump from the
cars, and were injured—one having his
hip dislocated, and the other itit
thought internally hurt from the jar he
received on striking the ground. It was
at first reported that one of them had
been killed, bnt this turned ont to be
an exaggeration. It is not known yet
whether the injuries of either will
prove serious. Fortunately no other
damage was done. The ears were un
injured and no loss of property
resulted.

SEEK
health and avoid sickness.
Instead of feeling tired and
worn out, instead of aches
and pains, wouldn’t you
xather feel fresh and strong?
You can continue feeling
miserable and good for no
thing, and no one but your
self can find fault, but if you
are tired of that kind oflife,
you can change it if you
choose.
How? By getting one
bottle of Brows’ Iron Bit
ters, and taking it regularly-
according to directions.

CttitlemenI Have suffered
pam in my side and back, and 1
soreness on my breast, vith si

sjoa of spirits, and loss of appe
tite. I hare token several different
medicines, and was treated by prom
inent physicians for my liver, kid
neys, and spleen, but I got no relief.
I thought I would try Brown's Iron
: I have now taken one bottle
ana a half and am about well—pain
and back all gone—so re 0 ess
all out of my breast, and I have a
good appetite, and am gaining in
strength and flesh. It can justly be
called the king 0/ vudicinsi.
