This is adsy of booms. We have
been writing m good deal of late about
Albany’s boom, the Flint river boom
the South Georgia truck farming boom,
etc„ and now we dethe to remark,
that the News and Advebtisku i» just

boom itself.
The News and Apveetuek seldom
indulges even in a little pardonable
and allowable self-prai<e ( but the
rapid strides it has been making of late
in public favor and estimation makes
it almost a matter of duty as wall as
self-interest to record the fact. Un
doubtedly the most convincing proof
of tbs progress of any pises or section
is that offered bj the patronage ex
tended to its local paper. Io tbia
particular the News and Adyebtisee
has nothing to complain of, but,on the
contrary, much in the way of encour
agement and promi*-. Its circulation
rapidly increased of late, and is
every day extending over a wider area
throughout tbia section. As an ad
vertising mediant, its columns have al
ways been in demand, and new and
additional applications for space are
made continually. In fact, the pres
ent patronage enjoyed by the paper
and its promising outlook is one. of the
surest indications of the approaching
era of prosperity which the paper has
so confidently of late predieted for :he
whole of Southwest Georgia.

they repot t so much “good time" that
many of those who stayed at home
are sorry they didn’t go.
In this era of Centennial* and

well for Albany to have an aye out for
it* own Semi-Centennial. It cannot
be very far ofl. CoL Tift and several
others could tell it to a day.
The following, from the Macon
Telegraph of yesterday, will bo pain
ful newa to many in Albany:
“We regret to learn the serious ill

That Fountain
A 1'i-niisylvnnian who lives in tlie
oil region*of thalfitate recentIv made
a rematk about our fountain, which
those who have power to abate the
nuisance would do well to bear in
mind. When a*k«-d if lie bad ever
known an IiihIiiuci- of one of these
well* craving to flow, hi* reply was
that he knew of hut one,and that was
where the owner of a tract of land ad
joining one on which was an artesian
well, with a view to depreciate his
neighbor’s tract and luiyii at a greatly
reduced price, secretly and iii ilicioui-
ly managed to plug up Ibe piping be
low tlie surface. This ot course
slopped the How an I enabled him lo
aurcccd with hi* diutnrdly hchemo;
hut afterward* when lie uncorked tlie
piping tlie water foiled to tomo any
longer to the Mir face, flic stream
bad fnaud fur itself another channel
and would no loug-r a*ceud through
the piping. Hi* remark about our
fountain wa* to the effect that, placed
where it 1*, directly over the mouth ot
the welll, might at nunc time or other
bring about the sain-* result, In case of
an accident to tl*e concern whereby
the flow would be impeded. It hi
evident that anything that tend* to in
terfere with the free outflow of tho
Water ill tlie least should be avoided.
Tho valne of the well to Albany is
too great to admit any suggestion even
of the possibility of nil accident to
pax* w ihout giving it due considera
tion. Let tit*; spout be restored in
place of the fountain, and all appro-
hon.ion on tlii* herd he alloyed.
What They Tell Them Down at

There is a Northern lady now in this
city for the horn-lit of her health who
baa an invalid friend spending tlie
inter down at Thom««ville. The
lady in Albany recently wrote to the
one at Thoma-ville stating that she
hail a comfortable hoarding place,
that she found «ur city very pleasant,
the artesian wilier delicious, etc., etc.,’
and invited her friend to come up
here and Muv w.tlt her; whereupon
the Tbomasvil'.e lady answered that
her “physician” had told her it would
“never do'* for her to go to Albany,
that the fog ftnm the river here was
“terribV,” ami would injure her mere
than all her stay and -’treatment” in

Fditor Nctes and Advertiser*:
Several of my friends have expressed
n desire to have me rend an oa-aslonal
letter to tlie Xkwm and Advertiser,
nnd this must tie my ajHilogy for n|i-
|H.-ariug In your columns.
Wc have recently had sonic tine il
lustration* of “Texas Nortliera,” of
which doubtless your reader* have
often heard. I^tst Friday cvcuhig was
Miitislihiy, lialiuy weather, ami next
morning it wa* freezing cold, Niiowlug,
mid the keenest sort of North wind
blowing. But tlien we. always gel
news hy telegraph when n norther U
coming, and can he pre|iared for it.
One thing I like ahmit Texas weather—
lhatis.il is mi hy|MM-rilc; w hen it is
clear it U clear; when It Is cokl, It’s
cold; ami when it Is muddy there is no
mistake about it, and when the
are good they could not lie improved
ujion.
I saw Inst night an illustration of an
unwise effort lo move West. A gentle
man from Hall comity,Georgia, called
on me. It was easy to sec tliat lie was
sick ami out of friends and “wit of
heart.” lie whnled to sec tlie West,
and so lett home to come to Texas. In
Arkansas lie was taken sick, had to
stop over, s|ient all Ills money, except
enough to bring him to Dallas. He
said with much |utho* to lihnseir:
“Well, Texas lias a heap of fine lauds,
but If I was only lack In my little
home in Georgia I don't think I would
ever leave It to go anywhere.” lie
was lic!|ictl on to Clchiirn, where lie
lias a brother-in-law, where I Impe he
may recruit and think better of Texas.
It Is perfect folly for a man to tldnk of
leaving home without enough money
to help himself for at least one year,
and expect to find everything in a new
country already fitted up to his use,
ready for him to step Into a good living.
And yet for those who can soon learn
tlie new conditions of success, and who
can Is? self-reliant for a year or so,
there Is no country under tlie sun of
fering better advantages than Texas.
To otic accustomed to woodlands,
tills prairie land presents a novel and
entertaining prospect. There Is breath
and inspiration in looking over un
counted acres of as rich fanning land*
as are on tlie continent. But 1 sup
pose it is eomcwliat owing to wlio is
viewing ns to wliat view he takes. Re
cently a young groom from North Car
olina, wi lifting his eyes to bclmld tlie
prairie this side of Houston, into which
the train luul just entered, said to his
faithful bride: “Hal, look what an
awful Idg old field. It must be a boime-
ing good place for rabbits.”
Ywi would feel complimented If you
could see wliat an Institution the Nkws
and Advertiser Is in my family. It
is dally read with the interest one takes
iu a jicrsotiat letter, and sometimes It Is
even entertaining to read over the ad
vertisements, because wc meet In them
so many familiar names. How sad are
fine of the tidings your columns have
been sending us recently. Death lias
been doing Its awful work, and more
than one of my personal friends have
been called away. Among the number
is one of tlie lovely young women
whom 1 baptized last. May tlie God
of all grace comfort nnd sustain the be-,
rcaved who are left hi darkened homes.
Our health remains good, and my
work opens with increasing prospects.
My church seems determined to spare
no paius in rendering the parsonage
comfortable, nnd so arc putting im
provements upon it to cost $2,300. As
a body they have undertaken various
enterprises for doing good tills year,
that call for an outlay of about $5,000.
'nils is an imiication that there arc
many men ami women even in this
growing, hustling Western city who
are anxious to Ik? useful in tlie service
or Christ. «. T. Hanks.

The Good Work.
Peluak, Ga., February 14,1883.
Editor Xctc* and Advertiser:
The report and publication In your
issue of tlie 6th of February in regard
to track or diversified farming has
awakened considerable feeling and in
terest throughout this entire section.
It is to be hoped that the discussion of
this important subject will result in
much good.
I must think that those journalist*
who have thus been instrumental,
even indirectly, in opening the eyes
of onr farmer friends as to the injudi
cious policy of an over-production of
the one stapte to the virtual exclusion
of other culture, and in urging them to
a diversification in agricultural pur-
surts, merit, as they will receive, bon-
orablc consideration os public benefac
tors.
I have met and talked with several
intelligent representative farmers of
Mitchell and Thomas counties, who
have resolved to materially change
the manner of their culture for tlie
future, and give tho subject of truck
farming far more serious attention
than heretofore. Any enquiring mind
will readily conceive that when this
resolution of tho farmer shall be acted
upon even for a lew successive years,
that then, and not till then, will the
real weal It and importance of the
Southern State?* Ik? developed far be
yond any present computation that
could l»c made. It is, therefore, u mat
ter of personal pride with an occasion
al contributor to your columns, that
wide-awake Albany and her sprig Idly
daily, the News and AnvKBTisKU,lins
thus become, first and foremost, inti
mately identified with this glorious
departure in agrisuitural progress,
that in tlie bright hereafter shall prove
as the leaves sent for the healing of
the nations.
In conclusion, I trust tliat yon will
still kerp your shoulders to tho
wheel, not alone in the good work
above alluded lo, but in tho advocacy
or other great enterprises, a* for in
stance, otic of Albany’s greatest needs,
a iiianimolh hotel, and tliat still grand
er consummation,!lie speedy navigation
of the Flint. In the meantime, while
these gteat objects are being attained
through the inspiring agency of the
press, may you share an editor's true
reward in nn additional thousand sub.

and those whom it aroused saw n

was soon discovered that three small
wooden buildings just across tho river,
two^'il them occupied os stores by Mr.
Mercer Shackelford and Mr. J. )V.
Cooper, and the other by Mime colored
people, were in flames. The three
buildings were totally destroyed to

insurance for $1,000. That of Mr. J.
W. Cooper amounts to $500 on build-

any value in both stores were de
stroyed. The other building, also
lost, was owned by Colonel Tift, and ,
was not worth more than $100. The :
flames soread so rapidly that Mr.
Shackelford, who was asleep in the I
rear of his store, had barely timo to
make good his escape. He was aroused
just in time by Mr. I. T. Callaway,
and, rushing to the safe, opened it and
seized a roll of money belonging to
himself and the Brunswick & Western
Railroad Company deposited there
for safe keeping over night. The
flames gained upon him so rapidly
that he was unable evon to rclock the
safe, and hence lost all Ids books and
accounts lo the value of about $400.
As it was he had a very narrow escape,
lie is a sound sicciicr, and when
aroused tho burning embers were fall
ing thickly from the roof around bun.
The colored people in tbn other burned
building managed to save most of their
effects. Mr. Cooper lives in a bouse
across the street nearly opposite, and
noono was in his store at the time of
the fire.
Several suspicious circumstances wc
have heard detailed strongly point to
this os a ease of incendiarism. It was
supposed to have originated or bccu set
on fire at the rear of Cooper’s store. Wc
suppress mention of the rumors that
have reached us of its supposed origin

Baltimore, Md.
last week while Messrs. J. L.
Story anil D. H. Davis, of Worth coun
ty, were out bird hunting, they met
with a singular experience in which
two targe rattlesnakes figured rather
prominently. They had scattered a
covey of quail in the woods, and as
the birds flow ofi they saw that one of
them was badly wounded. Instead of
going to where the wounded bird fell
first, they went out iu another direc
tion after two others that they had
“spotted.’’ After flushing and shooting
the latter two they started on In the
direction of the wounded bird, and
when in about fifty yards of where
they saw him fall their dog struck a
warm trail and pnraued it straight to
the spot where the wounded bird went
down. The hunters supposed that
the dog was trailing another bird, but
in this they were evidently mistaken;
for, instead of finding their wounded
game In company with another quail,
they found it In possession of two
largo rattlesnakes. Both snakes bad
hold of the bird, each intent upon,
swallowing it One of the reptiles
dropped his hold upon its prey nnd
made fight at the intruders, but tlie
other quietly straightened himself to
the task of swallowing the bird. Both
snakes were promptly shot and killed,
and one of them had eleven rattles
and a button, and the other nine. Mr.
Story, who informed the News and
Advertised of the circumstance, say s
tliat not more than five minutes in
tervened between the time the wound
ed bird fell and their finding him in
tho dutches of the snakes.
Three gentlemen were hunting out
a few miles west of the city one day
last week, and their dogs came to a
“point” near the edge of a pond.
They heard a strange noise ns they
approached, and the closer they got
to it the more it attracted
their attention. It sounded like
a fcbild in distress, and its wails at
one time were so much like those
of a human being that it look very
little stretching tho imagination to
make the words of the strange voice
distinctly audible. One of the gen
tlemen commenced thinking about
Moses in the bullrashcs, and started
into the thicket expecting to find a
two or three-year-old baby, when out
sprang a large black snake and water
frog. The snake bad captured the
frog, ami it was the wails of the latter
as lie was about half swal.owo-1, that
sounded so much like n human Wing
in distress. Tlie body of tlie snake
gave an unnatural volume to the voice
of the frog, nnd tint* tin? imitation of
the human voice wa* produced.

A little before seven o’clock this

upon a two-tuulc wagon load of cot
ton. He came into the city on Cot
ton avenue, and when be hod reached
the vicinity ortlic dly ball,Mr. Thsd.
Parker, upon his byciclc, came bowl
ing up from behind. As soon as the
mule* caught a glimpse of the unu
sual sight to them, they shied from
the road and plunged off atm toll
gallop. The first turn of the mules
threw Mr. Newberry from his seat
upon the cotton. An eye witness to
the occurrence tclb us that bis body
seemed to shoot into the air and he
enme down upon Iris head, and that
his head ricochctted a foot or two
before the remainder ofhi* bodv
came* to the ground. But braised,
and Weeding from tho month, the
poor man wa* carried into limit &

only to say that Mr. Newberry’s
