none of the lecturers and speakers,

‘•Wtiat do you hear about the ex

every day. Fe!low-citizens, the News

thing more about it than you do. It
is not because we have not tried to
find out either, for we have asked
such questions as the above of those ; tual In-urance Company, Athens, Ga.

It may not he very generally known
that quite a number of shipments of
our artesian water in large quantities
have been made daily for a long time
to distant portions of the State, but
such is the fael. And still another is
that the recipients of these shipments
have invariably been in the habit of
renewing their orders from time to

Mr E. II. Groubv, a compositor,
aud who will be remembered through
out Southwest Georgia as the founder
of the Early County 1Yews, died in
Jackson,Butts County, on th -9th inst.,
in the forty-ninth year of his age. The
Macon Telegraph says of him: “The
deceased was born in Montgomery,
Alrtbaiu •. He has one brother living
in that city, a'balf-broih'win Jackson
ville, Florida, and a son at Abbeville,
Alabama. In response to an inquiry,
Mr. *GruuLy stated that he had no
word to leave for any one, that he had
done nothing of which he was ashamed,
and was not alt aid to die. His re
mains were decently buried in the
cemetery at Jackson ”
A long, deep-drawn hallelujah will
go up from all the deriz»ns on lower
Broad stn et, when they see from the
council proceedings, elsewhere pub
lished, that the huge monumental
fraud, the fountain, is soon to be re
moved, and that an appropriate spout
and basin will take its place. The
members of the late City Council,
whose names are inscribed on its
broaze pedestal, will not have to mourn,
however, as those are said to do who
are without hope, for we learn that the
city has succeeded in palming off the
huge concern upon the County Com
missioners, who will have it erected in
the court house square. It is to be
hoped, however, they will not be
guilty of the folly of setting it up over
the mouth of the county well.

We thank our clever neighbor, the
Americas Recorder, for the following
complimentary notice of the News
and Advertiser’s annual. To the lat
ter portion of the paragraph we have
only to say that Albany has always
given precedence to the useful first
over the ornamental. Hence her arte
sian wells, railroad connections, Flint
river improvement and truck farming
booms, etc., etc. These once secured,
the pretty and asthetic will follow in
dne time. By the way, neighbor,
what is your specialty in this latter
line about Americas?
We are in receipt of the almanac
annual of our neighbor, the Albany
News and Adverther. It is a neat
ly gotten up affair, and a nice souvenir.
If Aibany was as pretty ms the alma
nac, it might do to blow about the
town some.
The News and Advertiser office
enjoyed a pleasant social call Tues
day from Col. R. G. Fleming, Super
intendent, and Capt. Read, Master of
Roadway, of the S. F. Sc W. R’y. In
expressing bis gratification at the late
efforts of the News and Advertiser to
bring the important subject of truck
and diversified farming in South and
Southwest Georgia into its merited
prominence, Capt. Fleming stated that
his road would be amply equipped in
time with cars and rolling stock suffi
cient to move any size crop that might
be realized. Thzt the matter had at
tracted much attention at headquar
ters, and that arrangements were
being perfected with all their connec
tions North and and West by which
sufficient and speedy transportation
facilities conid be secured. That no
one engaging in this new industry
need entertain feats of losses by delay
in shipment or transportation, so far
as his road was concerned. Its au
thorities, he stated, were fully alive to
the importance and value of the new
industry, and were besides not with
out experience as to Us needs in the
way of quick and sure transportation.
Capt. Reed assured ns that the road
bed was being bettered every day, and
would he in good condition to bear np
under any amount of traffic in that
line long before its capacity would be
tested by this species of freight. Both
gentlemen were in remarkably good
spirits over the prospects ahead for
South Georgia’s new departure in the
matter of diversified farming.
INDSTINCT PRINT
a wide reputation, and other cures as
remarkable as that recorded by Dr.
Casey in our last Sit’ day’s issue are
known lo exist Owing to the vola
tile nature of its gases it is hardly
oossibic that as full and complete
benefit can be derived from jts use at
a distance as here at the well. It may
even be doubted whether it can be
completely analyzed at a distance, ■ n
this accouut. When Albany ships
water to upper Georgia one may well
feel justified in believing that we have
struck a veritable hydropathic boom.
—We have called attenton more than
once lately to the fact that suspicious
looking characters were to be seen
hanging around Albany front time to
time. They disappear a few days and
then return again. Under the head of
“Tramps,” the Amcricus Recorder gives
this item of recent experience with a
few of them: “When Mr. J. T. Head,
of this office, went home Saturday night
he found his home in a commotion over
an unexpected call from a gentleman of
the tramp species, who had deliberately
walked into the house and demanded
something to eat. The women folks
were frightened, and told him that there
wasnothingprepared, bnt that he might
get something at the neighbors, where
upon Mr. Tramp left and called at the
residence of Mr. Hatcher, near the
depot, and repeated bis demand for food
and in such a manner that a messenger
was immediately sent for the police and
Mr. Hatcher, but who failed to arrive
in time to catch him. It is supposed
that a gang of half a dozen were here
last week. On one occasion a negro
was stopped and his money demanded,
but the sight of a 12-inch dagger in the
darkey’s hands cooled them oft. On an
other occasion a negro w as stopped and
a basket of provisions taken from him.
The city authorities have taken the
matter in hand.”
Sadie J. Wilson, SaTannah, says:
“I used Brown’s Iron Bitters for dys
pepsia and am delighted with the
prompt relief which it afforded me.”
Gnano at Reduced Prices.
Capt. S. R. Weston gives notice in
another column that he is authorized
to sell certain first-class fertilizers at
reduced prices. See his advertise

males and Horses.
Mr. A. P. McCord gives notice in an*
other column that he will receive on
Tuesday next a lot of first-class mules
well adapted to the wants of turpen
tine and lumber men. He will also
have a car load of good horses. Those
in need of moles or horses will do
well to give Mr. McCord a call before
purchasing elsewhere.

Onr Artesian.
. Special attention is called to an in
tercating letter on onr outside from
Dr. H. R. Casey, an old former resi
dent of Albany, to our clever towns
man, F. C. Jones. Many of onr oldest
citizens will doubtless be able to re
call the writer, and to them the items
of personal history the letter contains
will no dou’x be foil of interest. The
most interesting feature of the com
munication, however, is the strong en
dorsement the writer gives from per
sonal experienee, to the efficacy and
healing properties of our artesian
water. Coming from a source both
reliable as well as professional, it has
a double value, and will set at rest any
andaildonbts that may still exist as
to the valuable healing properties of
onr artesian water. The letter ahould
be read by every one of onr citizens.

Skipped.
The young man W. W. Ilowe, who
has been vending worm candy and
cheap jewelry in the city for three or
fonr months past, and who came origin
ally from Dawson, we believe, will
not be seen in his old haunts here any
more. About a week ago a traveling
gentleman missed some clothing, a
razor and a magnetic compass from
his room at one of the hotels, and no
c'uc to the thief was had until Friday
night, when the gentleman happened
to be here again and saw his compass
in the possession of a well-known gen
tleman of this city. The Albany gen
tleman explained that he bought the
compass from Air. J. W. Joiner, the
jeweler, who in turn explained that he
bought it from Ilowe. Howe was
looked np, and when charged with
stealing the missing article- at first de
nied it Finally he saw that the proof
was conclusive, however, ami confessed
his guilt, at the saino time proposing
to re! urn everything except the razor,
which he said he had sold lo a negro
whom he did not know. After re
turning his p'undpr, the vonng man
made himself scarce, and yesterday
morning was not to bo found. No
warrant was taken out against him, as
the traveling gentleman did not want
to be detained by the case.

Death or Andrew norther Wlldei.
We are deeply pained to have to
announce the death of the above well-
known and popular yonng man,
which occurred Monday morning at
half-past five o’clock at the home of
his parents on Fine street..
The deceased was the son of Maj.
W. H. Wilder, of Albiny, and was
born in Dongberty county on the 18th
of March, 1858, and wanted bnt a
month to complete his 25th year. He
was prostrated by a paralytic stroke
ten weeks ago, which has confined
him closely to his bed ever since.
Throughout his long and tedious con
finement he bore his sufferings with
fortitude, while nothing that conid be
done by the tender hands' and loving
ministrations of relatives and friends
was omitted. He was of a singularly
amiable and affectionate disposition,
and the sympathies of numerous
friends in Albany and elsewhere were
more than ordinarily aroused by his
long and painful illness.
The death of Murth Wilder makes
the second one of their sons whom
his grief-stricken parents and family
have had to mourn over within a com
paratively short space of time—the
eldest sod, W. 5Y. Wilder, having
passed away lese than a year ago. To
the bereaved parents and relatives the
sympathies cf all onr people are ex
tended in this hour of deep affliction.
The funeral took place from the Bap
tist church Tnetday morning it 10
o'clock.

Onr Artesian Water.
At the I cquest of several of oUr citi
zens, who have recently received a
number of communications from cor
respondents at a distance asking for
information about the qnalities and
properties of Albany’s now celebrated
artesian water, we republish below
from the News and Advertiser of
Jnne 3d, 1882, three distinct analyses
of the same. The first of these was
furnished by Prof. H. (i. White, of the I
University of Georgia, who furnished j
the same to Mr. W. K. Leakio, by
whom samples of the water were sent
for the purpose, and is as follows:
NOTES OV EXAMINATION OF THE WATER.

“The water is perfectly clear, limpid
and entirely free from suspended mat
ter. It is said'to have on issne a de
cided odor and teste of suiphnrretled
hydrogen. -This passes off when the
water is allowed to stand uncovered
for a few hours. Tho samples receiv
ed were odorless, and without sulphur
taste. The following are the resalts
of examination made by mo upon a
quantity of water sent in carefully
sealed vessels by Mr. W. R. Leakon.
These results are calculated to the

Prof. H. C. Bolton, Ph. D- Trinity
College, Hartford, responding to a
similar request by Mr. W. Leaken,
writes as follows:
“Toe water, as received by him, was
odorless, tasteless and without sedi

ance of chlorides are present One

iy=
Total solids (grains, per gallon)—.-—.10.03
Organic and volatile matter, only——.. 0.46
“It will be observed,” writes Mr.
Leaken in his letter communicating
the above, “how close to each other
are the quantitative results of the
snalyses. Both chemists report the
water odorless and tasteless. This is
accounted for by the fact that the sni-
phrntted hydrogen (the esential con
stituent of the water of the so-called
“Sulphur Springs’’) is a very volatile
gas, which decomposes so rapidly that,
unless the water be analyzed at the
well, the' constituent is absent. Re
peated tests were therefore made by
Mr. Hugo Robinson and myself to es
tablish the unmistakable odor and
taste of sulphur at the well. Onr re
sults are given with the State chemist’s
report. By way of comparison I add
an analysis of one of the noted “Buff
alo Springs”:

When this is given as the analysis
of a noted mineral spring, onr water
evidently does not suffer by the com
parison. However, to gain the full
benefit and effect or the water, it
ahoold be drank at the well.

A Card from “West Doagheriy.”
Rives, Ga., Feb. 17,1883.
Mews and Advertiser:
I see in yoar Weekly published to
day wbat purports to be a correction
by G. W. Havnes of niy statement of
his assets and liabilities sent by me
to yon some time since, and wherein
he says in substance that I misstated
facts. Will yon please pnbiish for the
information of yoar readers the follow
ing, which contains only facts, since
Mr. H. delights in snch things, snd
which, I will add farther, can be prov
en by men of undonbted veracity—ev
ery one of them:
First, Haynes, about a week before
closing, came to me and asked me to
see J. R. P. Durham and ask him what
to do, as he was compelled to close
ont; that he owed to different parties
amounts aggregating $1,450.00, but that
he had goods worth $2,000.00 in his
store, which, as I bad been in the mer
cantile business, I knew was not true,
at least they were not on his shelves.
I asked D. for him, bnt he refused to
have anything to do with him. Again,
Kaufman came ont representing May
er Sc Glauber, to collect the<r claims,
and Haynes promised him a certain
day’s sales (the Saturday’s before be
closed) and went behind Kaufman to
his (H’s) clerk, Geo. Walker, Jr. and
told him when posting his cash book
that night to reserve five dollars out
for him (H.) Walker came to the wri
ter and wished to know what to do;
said he conid not think of acting ns
H. desired, and I told him he was right
—to count the money and give it to
Haynes and let him make his own en
tries, and together that night wo count
ed it and there was $18 85; yet the cn-
tiy on his books showed only $9.30.
A party at this place is lidding the
books under a garnishment returnable
to the superior conn. These are some
facts under my personal knowledge,
and can be supported by ample proof
if Mr. Haynes desires it. Yon are alio
at liberty to famish him with my
name, as I hold myself personally re
sponsible for ail of the above. I
have other facts if H. wishes them.

LONG SEftMONS.
Dallas, Texas, Feb. l9th, 1883. I
Al&my A’swv and Adcrrtiicr:
Let me, as a preacher, say a word on
this snbject. lit your daily of the 13th
inst. you copy a piece from the Tele
graph aud Messenger setting forth the
fact (?) that nearly all preachers make
the mistake of having sermons too long.
You indorse the paragraph and com
mend it to all preachers, outside of Al
bany. Well, have you observed that
the average sermon is the shortest pub
lic discourse one has the opportunity of
listening to?
Your McIntosh telegram from Sa
vannah, and it appeared in the same
issue with your criticism oil the length
of sermons, that “Governor Stephens
spoke nearly two hours,” and then
willed, mirabile dicta! “and is looking
remarkable well.” What preacher,
with no natural advantage of the Gov
ernor, could be considered looking “re
markably well” after a sermon of
nearly two hours long? How long
are the lectures, orations, snd speeches
of literetary men, political orators and
lawyers we ordinarily hear? Why is |
it that they can bore a crowd at liberty, |
and we hear no protest in the pipers, |
while the preachers are lectured ever
and anon in private and by the press
for “havingsermonstoolong?” ^sup
pose it takes about the least of religion
possible to do the average auditor.
Most men who are clamorous for short
sermons have gotten religion as Mr.
Toombs said of his friend, “in it. mild
est form.”
And yet, what subject are worthy of
ample discourses if those of the problem
of life are not? Why should the
preacher be expected to discuss the
grpat subjects of man’s origin, mission
and destiny in twenty minutes,” while
the brother who yets up a claim for a
little office can be appreciated for nearly
two hours, and sometimes longer, as
he sets forth the momentous facts that
the liberty of the people is imperiled,
the destiny of the State is in jeoprady,
the honest yoemanry shall be pro tee ted
in their rights, and much such, and,
therefore, you must rally like men on
the day ef the election and vote for
him?
I notice, men believe in short speeches
when they themeelvesa re not spealdng,
and those who ding-dong about short
sermons have no higher conception
of a preacher’s mission than that he is
trying to please them.

Americas to Have an Artesian Well.
The News and Advertises con
gratulates the good people of Americus
upon the fact contained in the follow
ing from the Republican of yesterday:
“On Wednesday last Mayor Felder
and the committee, consisting of Aider-
men Bart and Watts, entered into a
contract with Messrs. T. F- McNair
and L. G. McLendon, of Dawson, Ga.,
for the boring of an artesian well ill
the city of Americas, to be com
menced as soon as the machinery ar
rives. The city is to pay the snm of
three thousand dollars for the well
when the contractors have famished
twenty-five gallons of water per min
ute.”
We noticed a novel occurrence on
our streets the other day. Mr. James
E. Roberts, an enterprising Miller
county farmer, came to town and
brought a load of hams, side meat and
lard, which he sold to the Messrs.
Wade. How different this is from the
average Georgia farmer, who gener
ally buys his meat from the merchant
instead of selling if to him. We hope
the time is not far distant when this
sort of a thing will bean every day
occurrence in the Empire State of the
South.—Earley County Mews.
Prohibition In Terrell.
Atlanta Constitution.
Terrel county is agitated over an im
pending election on the wet and dry
question. Jndge Clarke, of the Supe
rior Court bench, is quoted by the Daw
son Journal as being very strongly in
favor of a State prohibition law. The
Jndge says: “I have lived in Terrell
county twenty-live years, and twenty-
three years of that time have filled the
office of Clerk of the Superior Court,
and am quite familiar with the affairs
of the county as well as the sentiment
of the people. I am no liquor man in
any sense of the word. I am not only
opposed to the sale of liquor in Terrell
county, but would rejoice to see a uni
versal prohibition law for the whole
State. At least ninety nine cases out
of a hundred have been traceable di
rectly or indirectly to the effects of
liquor, and, in my judgment, should
the sale of liquor be prohibited in Ter
rell it wonld save tke county thousands
of dollers. The amount saved to the
people in the reduction of taxes by the
diminuation of crime would far out
weigh the insignificent sum tcrived
from the sale of license to peddle liquor.
Almost every father who has a boy
will feel so deeply concerned about the
future of his eon that he will not hesi
tate when the election comes off to cast
his vote on the side of prohibition. In
fact almost every man I know is in favor
of prohibition. It is quite a rare thing,
indeed, to find a man opposed to it.
The leading and more intelligent ne
groes are generally in favor of prohi
bition, and I doubt not that the majori
ty of them who vote will cast their votes
that way. There is not a druggist in
Dawson that wonld willingly violate or
evade the law. Our druggist, every
one of them, are gentlemen of unsul
lied aud spotless integrity, and not of
them wonld violate the law for one
amount of money. And, moreover,
should they do so they would be in
dicted by the grand jury and made to
suffer a very heavy penalty. The
growth of sentiment upon this snbject
within.the last few years has been phe
nomenal. More than a third of the
counties in the State have prohibited
the sale of liqnor already, and I doubt
not but what the Legislature will, at its
summer session, pass a Law prohibiting
the sale of it ail over the State. A
people so intelligent and refined as the
American people can no longer sub
mit to it, and I believe the day is not
far distant when all Europe as well as
America will declare for prohibition.
Conversation overheard iu a
streetcar: First young debutante:
“Oh. I’m so sorry Lent is here.
Second ditto: “Oh, how wicked;
I’m realy glad, for iny hall dresses
were getting frightfully shabby, and,
besides, mama says I am- looking a
little worn with the late hours and
brilliant lights, and I am going to
bed early and stay a good deal dur
ing the day in the dimly lighted
church. Lent is really a great com
fort to me,’’ and the dear thing
sighed piously.

BKMABKS.
Last fall the Agricultural Bureau at Washing
ton estimated the crop of cotton at 6700,000 bales
There has been a new estimate made by the same
authority within the last few weeks, increasing
the amount of the crop 135,0.0 bales Present es
timate is 6,885,0c0: So those persons that made
bets that the.crop would not be six and a-balf
millions, might as well give them op. .
From this date we will give each week the
total increase of last year’s crop over the
year before. Increase this year, 838,0 0; total
crop, 1881-82, 5.435,000. These figures make
6,273,000. The estimated crop for l e 82-83 Is
over six millions, and the amount will grad
ually increase each week.
The last bureau report makes the crop
6,700,CC0,and,as for nine years ont of ten,it has
required an addition of half a million to its
figures to show the size of the crop, adding
5C0.C0J to its figures this year will make tke
crop 7.2C0,O-0.
The receipts at all ports up to Friday night,
February 16, were, (for this year and tho past
five years, as follows:
1882-83 4/3i,000 11879- 4 0 4,0*7,000
1881-83 3.930.000 187&-79 3,608.00u
1840-81. 4,338.0 0 11877-78 3,338,000
This makes tbe total receipts at the out-
ports 701/00 bales mbre than lost year, and
295,000 more than two years ago.
Tbe total crop for the past six years was as
follows*

The New Boy.
Boston Courier.
He was a brand new office boy, young,
pretty-faced, with golden ringlets and
blue eyes. Just such a boy as one would
imagine would be taken ont of his little
trundle bed in the middle of the night
and transported beyond the stars. Tbe
it day be glanced over the library in
the editorial room, become acquainted
with everybody, knew all tbe printers,
and went home in the evening .ns hap
py and cheery as a sunbeam. The
next day be appeared, leaned out of the
back window, expectorated on a print-
er’spate, tied up a cat by the tail in the
hallway, had four fights with another
boy, borrowed $2 from an occupant of
the building, saying his mother was
dead, collected his two days’ pay from
the cashier, hit the janitor with a
broomstick, pawned coat belonging
to a member of the editorial staff,
