to remain over with u« another day.

when armed with such a paper as the

fectly invincible.
We have no news yet with refer
ence to the proposed extension of the
Brunswick and Western Railroad
westward from this city. A promi

had no direct information from Mr.

good reasons for believing that he
would be here before the first of
April for the purpose of giving direc
tions for bridging the Flint and pro

Chairman of theExecu*ive Committee,
to meet in convention on the 3d of

bernatorial convention to be held in
Atlanta April 10th.
The patent medicine men evidently
think the blood of our County Com
missioners needs toning up, judging
from the decorations that flank each
side of the entrance to the Court
House grounds. However, if Iron
Bitter* will stimulate them up on the
bridge question the aforesaid decora
tions will not have been in vain.
Mr. Joseph B. Bell and family, of
New York, who have been spending
some time at Thomasville, have come
to Albany to remain for. the balance of

There is a little romance or history
connected with the visit to this city of
Miss Blandie Cutliff, mention of
which has previously been made in
this paper. The story, as told ns, is to
this effect: About two years since Mr.
Ragan Cutliff, who was then, and is
still, the operator at the Western
Union telegraph offiee at Montgomery,
caught a message aa it flashed along
the wires announcing the marriage of
a couple in Shreveport, La The
name of one of the contracting* parties
was Cutliff' and it at once arrested
the attention of Mr. Ragan Cutliff.
The name being so unusual, together
with a vague remembrance that an old
uncle bad at one time emigrated some
where, determined Mr. Cutliff to open
correspondence with the family, which
he did. The result was, that he dis
covered relations of whom he had no
knowledge. Miss Cutliff is now visit
ing her newly discovered relatives in
this city—the result of a happy acci
dent and quick ear of an accomplished
operator.
Oh* That Fountain!
The News and Advertiser can't

been intimidated by some of tbe
fair sex into silence opon. the subject
of the location of the Artesian well
fountain. A few days ago we advocat

City Fathers to move the fountain to

those of you with whom we stand

A Bold itobberr-
Thursday night about 9 'o’clock
Zach Woods, the deaf nnd dumb shoe
maker at the corner of Broad and
Washington streets, was robbed of
$100 in money. A reporter visited
the place yesterday, and from the
wifeof Mr. Woods learned the follow
ing particulars: There was no one in
the house except the family, and all
was quiet when Zach, who was stand
ing before the fire, gol a glimpse ol
some one in the next reo n. Be at
ouce made for him, when tile thief
broke out at the back door and es
caped. Enough of him was seen, how
ever, to enable him to describe him as
a small-sized, slender man, ginger-
cake colored, without a hat The
money was in a small pasteboard box,
locked within the machine drawer, and
when the thief was discovered he was
kneeling before the machine, upon
which a lamp was burning. Thu ma
chine was unlocked with a nail, lhe
box opened, and the money taken,
which evidently establishes Ihe fact
that some one acquainted with the
premi-es and familiar with the exist
ence and hiding place of the monry
had a band in ' this bold robbery.
Strong suspicions rest opon the cook,
who it is known was familiar with all
the affairs of the family. The matter
has been placed in Ihe hands of the
police, and we tru-t the thief may be
overhauled a> d brought to the punish
ment he so richly deserves.

mile from Baconton, and one hundred
yards from the trestle over Raccoon

car was derailed at that point, and
when the trestle was reached eight
more were tbrowu-frorn the track and
more or less damaged. Five bents of
ihe trestle were smashed, which was
the most serious injury to Ihe road.
We learn from Mr. Steel, tl.c polite
agent, that no freight was damaged,
and that the wreck was cleared away
arid trains running by 5 o'clock p. m.
Sunday. No one was hurt, which
is doubtless attributable to the slow
rate of speed at which the train was
moving.
AND STILL ANOTHEB.
Tuesday morning asihe regular
passenger train between this city and
Thomasville was near Cochran’s mills,
the two sleepers and the first-class
passenger coach were thrown from
the track by a broken rail. The two
sleepers were turned completely over
and ditched, bat the coach was only
thrown partly from the track. The
train was rnnning at about twenty
miles per hour, and serious damage
might have been done had not the
coupling between the baggage car
and the second-cla3s coach given
way. thereby detatebing that part of
the train rvhich was off tho track from

THE FIREMAN’S CONTEST.
THE THKONA1 EESKA’S VIC-
TOBIOCS.
A Grand D1-i>l*T and Spt-!ted Con
test—All F*n» on " Quietly.
The agony is orcr!
For Ihrce or four weeks past our
usually quiet little city has been in
tensely exercised over the pending
contest between Thronateeska and
Defiance Fire Companies. At times
the excitement ran h gli, and the af
ternoon practices of the two companies
were watched and commented on with
increased interest as the day appoint
ed for the contest drew nigh. Each
company numbers among its xnembea.-
an:l officers some of our leading
citizens and most popular young men.
and both organizations Were strongly
backed by partial friends who were
willing to bet mouey on the result of
the contest. Bets were made freely,
tbe friends o. each company being
able to find ready takers. Indeed,
the excitement reached -uch a high
pitch at one time that it was feared
the afiair would lead to hard
feeling among the more zeal
ons and contentious members of
the iwocompanicssnd their respective
friends. It affords the News and Ad
vebtiseb pleasure to he able to say,
however, that the affair passed off
pleasantly and quietly, aud that the
victorious cimpsny wore their well
earned laurels will) that gallant grace
that belongs only to true gentlemen,
while their competitors accepted de
feat with a degree of cheerfulness and
calm resignation in every way wor
tliv the steel o r ihcir victors
decorating their engines.
"" Early Thursday morning floral dee'
orations could be seen going toward
■he engine houses from every direc.
tion, and soon they were being tastily
enlwined about the -ngines by the
fair hands of the husbands, and wifea,
and (shall we say it?) the sweethearts
of the members of the respective
ccmpanicr. Each lady- wore a badge,
which clearly indicated the company
to which the belonged; and by noon
each engine was most tastily and
elaborately decorated with flowers
and evergreens.
TO THR CONFUCT.
At about a quarter past 3 o’clock
both engines drew out from their en
gine hnnsot and marched up Pine
street to Jefferson, ihence down
Broad to Jackson. The wind was
from the West, and for this reason the
cistern at the intersection of Broad
and Jackson was selected for
“stand.*' Ihe run being made down
Broad street.
The terms of the contest have been
published in these columns, and it
will therefore- be only necessary for
us to state that the run to be made.was
from 60 feet in rear of engine; run
ners to start at signal, make couplings
at engine and pipe, laying 150 feet of
hose, and throw stream 100 feet.
Best time two in three to win.
Thrunatee-ka won the toss and sent
Defiance to make fir-t run. Defiance
made a splendid run: and had no mis
hap with coupling The time keepers
were not in readiness, however, at time
of starting, and this run was thrown
out. They were required to make
the run over, anil lost it. failing to
couple in time at nozzle. Throna.
teeska then came in and scored 21j£-
A good deal of confusion prevailed
and some contention arose over the
nezt two rues, and, after a consulta
tion between the judges and officers
of the two companies, a compromise
was made, the particulars ol which
we shall not undertake to report.
Indeed, we sliri-k from anything like
a detailed report of any portion of tbe
contest, because it would be imposai-
ble for us to go into details
without subjecting ourselves to
correction and, perhaps, harsh crit
icistn. Wc will therefore sunt up the
whole by ssyitig that, according to the
decision of the Judges, the score
stood:
deviance:
1st run
21 ”
throkateesea:
1st run
2d “
Defiance made four runs in all, and
Thronateeska three. Thronatecska’s
last run gave her the victory, and
thus the contest was ended.
JUDGES AND T1HE-KEEPERS.
Capt. T. G. Rust, S. F. Salter and
L. E. Welch were the judges seleated,
and Messrs. Ed. Bitch and Phil. Har
ris were selected as associate time
keepers with Mr. Salter. The jndges
exercised great patience, and nsed^their
utmost endeavors to discharge tbe
disagreeable doty assigned to them in
a way that would be satisfactory to
all. They gave both sides a patient
bearing upon all issues that arose,
and managed to preserve peace and
give entire satisfaction.
NOTES.
—Nelson Tift says that his rabbit
foot is what did it. He fonnd a rab
bit’s foot on the street yesterday
morning, and rnbbed Thronateeska’s
wheels with it
—Master Rob Forrester was color-
bearer for Thronateeska. He was in
full uniform, and made a handsomer
fireman than hip papa. He bore- a
bine banner, and the first demonstra
tion of the victors was to raise him
above their shoulders and run from

Paal’f Epl*c*pal Cbureb ea San
der.
The aervices in memory of the late
Mrs. Louisa C. Cromwell were held in
St Paul’s Church Sunday morn
ing and evening, March 11, 1883, and
consisted of Morning Prayer, Ante
Communion and Sermon at 11 A. M.,
and Evening Prayer with Selected Lcs-
sods and a few additional Collects at
4:30 P.M. The hymns at both ser
vices were those so often and so sweet
ly sung by her during the many
years that sha bad led the music in
this church, and were, in the morning,
“Tby Will be Done,’’ ■‘•Art Thon
Weary,’’ .“Lead, Kindly Light,' “I
Would Not Live Alway;’’ in the even
ing, “Jesus, Savior of my Soul” and
“Nearer My God to Thee.” At oach
service there wxs a large congrega
tion. lhe door leading to the organ
loll; and the organ, and the fronf of
the gallery were each heavily draped.
After the morning service the con
gregation organized itself into z meet
ing by requesting Mr. L. E. Welch to
act as chairman, and Mr. T. M. Carter
as secretary. The chairman having
stated the object of the meeting in s
very appropriate and feeling manner,
on motion of the Rector the chair ap
pointed a committee of six, consisting
of three members of the vestry and
three ladies to draft a memorial and
resolutions, to be acted on by the meet
ing after Evening Prayer. Tbe chair
appointed R. Hobbs, T. M. Carter, T.
N. Woolfolk, Mrs. F. I. Nelson, Mrs.
A. D. Jones, Mrs. T. G. Rust, to
which committee, on motion of Nelson
F. Tift, the Hector, Rev. T. 6. Pond,
wss added, and the meeting adjourned
to the time specified. At the adjourn
ed meeting, the chair having announc
ed its object, Capt. R. Hobbs read tho
following
menobial:
Tour commitee, appointed to draft
a memorial tribute to the memory of
Mrs. Louisa C. Cromwell, who depart
ed this life at her home in Maryland
on the 8th daT of March, 1883, beg
leave to submit the following:
In the early days after the war cloud
had drifted over our land, there came
to onr little town, a lady from the
mountain city of "Virginia. She came
lo ns as the bride of Dr. B. M. Crom
well. fall of tho culture, tbe intelli
genes and the gentle graces thst for
ages have made the maids and matrons
of Virginia endeared to all who koew
them. She lived with os the yoong
years of her married life; here her
children, under her tuition, sang the
praises of the God who made them,
and in all those years the Christian
beauty of her daily life acted as a bea
con, guiding the steps of oor mothers,
wives and sisters in all the virtues that
deck the life of woman.
Our little parish, onr little church,
struggling for existence, was nourished
into the full tide of life by her genial
loveliness, her Christian piety and
truth. How well the older members
of this congregation remember the
pride that welled up in our hearts, as,
Sunday after Sunday, strangers flock
ed to our little church attracted by the
heavenly music which fell from the
lips of that gifted woman! How well
we can remember the peace and calm,
which fell in gentle zephyrs around ns,
as her voice ever and again rose in thal
sweet melody, “Nearer my God to
Thee,’’ and onr spirits thanked God for
sending Mrs. Louisa Cromwell io us.
As memory recurs lo those days we
miss from our midst the earnest wishes
of onr congregation, of which she was
always the central figure. Henry
Welch is not with us, and now elec
tricity tells os that Lonisa C. Crom
well la nearer to the God she loved so
well; is in thst sweet and pleasant
land, “where the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are at rest.’’
Sabbath after ^Sabbath she was ever
at her place.*: The Icve of God, the
pTaise of His holy name, her only re-
couipenat. Hew mnch we owed her
we never knew until she left ns (it
seems ss if it wss bnt yesterday) for
her new home in the mountains of
Maryland. The pall of sadness fell
over us as sfic and her little ones bid
us farewell. Sadness deeper still o’er-
shadows us to-day, as we realize thst
sho is no more, and that only tbe last
trump, as it reverberates through the
vales of eternity, will awaken her
sweet voice to song and melody.
In sorrowing lor our loved sister il
is sweet to be able to thank God that
we sorrow not without hope. Her
r aith, her<pure and holy life of a sure
ty has given her a home in that honsa
eternal in tbe Heavens, prepared by
God for his children. God grant us
grace and strength to meet her there,
nnd enable ns to join onr voices with
the sweet cadence of her song “Nearer
my God to thee.” With the strick
en and bereaved husband, the derot
ed sister and loving children we
sympathize and mourn. How
onr hearts go out to them in this their
day of trouble and desolation, words
fail us to tell.
May the balm of Gilead descend on
their bruised hearts, is the sincere
prayer to-day of this congregation.
Amen,
We request that the Secretary shall
transmit to the husband of onr de
ceased sister a copy of the proceed
ings of this meeting. Respectfully
submitted.' Her. T. G. Pond,

Capt Hobbs moved their adoption,
which was seconded by tbe Rector in
a few remarks, and the motion was
passed by a rising vote.
By request of the choir, the Hector
then read, as part of these memorial
services, their preamble and resolu
tions, already published, which they,
had passed at a choir meeting on Sat
urday, March 10,1883.
The chairman having retired, the con-
congregation joined in the Collect for
All Saints Day and tbe first Collect in
the burial service, and the Rector pro
nounced the benediction in the Com
munion Office. While the congregation
were on their knees, the organ com
menced the mnsic of “Asleep in Jesus;’’
and, as all rose np from their derotion,
the choir sang the hymn, and the large
assembly then quietly separated to
the music of “Io the Sweet Bye and
Bye.”

The sweet, pure voice of a devoted
“singer in Israel"’ is hushed in death,
and filled with sadness, rcvercnlly we
approach to twine around tbe memo
ry of Mrs. B. M. Cromwell a wreath
of “imoiortelles.”
The stillness of the grave has si
lenced the melodious accents which
found au echo in every heart when
ever the strains of sacred song and

through tho “House of God’’ in tbe
impassioned and heartfelt rendition of
the lamented dead.

Editor Rews and Advertiser:
Sir :—In your paper of March 5th
appears a “Notice to the Public,”
signed James A. Greer. After read
ing his communication, I have this to
say: He is either a fuol or a knave.
His article was intended, I suppose, to
total 155.376;: 1876. white 121,418,
colored 57,987, total 179.405; 1877,
white 128.296, colored 62,330, total,

total 2,3165)3; 1881, white 153,156,
colored 91,041, tntal 144,197. The
figures for last year are uot
given. There is certainjy, however,
a continued increase, bnt ihe figures
were uot in when the report was
made. The Commissioner urges the
General Assembly to foster the pub
lic schools and build tnem up as
much|as possible by increased appro
priations. On the subject of national
aid Dr. Orr says:
“In the early pari of this year I
received an invitation to be present
at a meeting of a body of educators
in the city of Washington, one of the
leading objects of which was the con
sideration of the question of national
aid to education. The meeting was
composed largely of State and city
school superintendents; and twenty-
three States and three Territories
were found to be represented. On
the question of national aid, a large
committee was appointed. The sense
of the committe, as soon as organiza
tion wns effected, was tested upon
the following as propositions which
ought to he embodied in any law
npou this subject passed by Congress.
1. Whatever aid may be furnished
br Congress Cor this purpose ought
to cotuo directly from the Treasury;
that it ought to be as much, at least,
as $15,000,000 per annum, and that
the appropriation ought to be con
tinued for ten years.
2. That the fund ought tu be ap
plied exclusively to the support of
common schools, and to the sustain
ing of teachers’ institutes and nor
mal schools.
3. That the fund ought lo be dis
tributed amobg the States on the
basis of illiteracy, and applied sim
ply in suppliment of State appro
priations aud mler State laws.
The committee voted as a unit on
all these propositions; aud their re
port was sustained Jiv like unatii-
ty when submitted to the meeting.
The report contains some valuable
statistics and "withal in an interesting
public document, despite the fact
that it is somewhat belated.

wife of a Western Congressman was

winter of 1877, and spoke quite
freely to her ofhis ntotlior and his
early life. “Why did you never mar

he replied evasively. “But we would
all like to know it,’ 'was her response.
“Well,” said he grimly and reluct

Discussing a physician named Jones,
Blifkins undertook to relate how the
medicine-man had once made a mis
take, as follows:
“Old Noxen used to have a row with
his wife about three times a week. He
got cranky and made up his mind to
shuffle off, so he filled up with laud
anum and went to bed. The old lady
wetit to screaming, and as fast as the
. . . ™, tu neighbors came in sent them off after
injure me in my own community, and ! a doctor. Some of them 'went iu one
to hurt the business of my employers,
Messrs. Wbidden & Barrett He
grossly misrepresented all the facta of
his hiring a conveyance while here.
As a public announcement I will state
the following facta, which are author
ized by my employers: This man
Greer oame to the asylum by way of
Midway, and, in returning home,
wanted to come from the asylum lo
Milledgeville, a distance of two miles,
and take the train here. Formerly, a
regular hack line between here and
there was run, but there is no hack
line now. So he telephoned here to
Whiddcn & Barrett to know what
would be charged f.r a conveyance
for three men from the asylum to
Milledgeville. Mr. Barrett answered
thtee dollars. A response came back
all right, to send a conveyance, which
was immediately done. Now, my con
nection with the transaction was, that
I wor sent by my employers to col
lect the bill. Greer paid the bill un
willingly, and waited until he left
here to make the charge of robbery
against me.
Now, inasmuch as you have pub
lished his notice, which was most un
fairly calculated to injure my em
ployers and myself, 1 ask you. as a
matter of justice, to publish this let
ter of mine in your next paper.
Very respectfully,

Oil Upon the Water*.
Albany, Ga., March 15, 1883.
Editor Rews and Advertiser:
In your. yesterday’s issue a state
ment appeared from an eye witness
of Thronateeska, that at the last prac
tice, and since the Hobbs contest was
abandoned, the engine of Defiance No.
3 threw water 150 feet without difficul
ty. The fact has now developed itself,
however, that their engine at the time
had 110 pounds of steam; while under
the original stipulations only 90 pounds
was allowed. Feeling that this state
ment is bat just lo Defiance, to yon,
to the parties who made this state
ment while unaware of tbe facts, I
trust you will give this statement of
facta publicity. Thronateeska.
Since writing . the above the vic
tory has been awarded to Tbrona-
teeska, and the manner in which the
Defiance boys have accepted their de
feat, has indeed given evidence of a
noble and generous disposition, in
itself a thousand times more com
mendable and glorious than a thous
and victories, depending upon the
mere accidents of the occasion. Al
bany has a right to be proud of them,
and rest assured that Thronateeska
will feel that their competitors are not
only worthy of their steel, but are
composed of metal so precious that
they remain perfectlly gentlemen in
defeat. T.

An Italian Prayer,
The Italians have a prayer which
reads“I pray that I may never he
married. But if I should marry, I
pray that I may not be deceived.
But if lam deceived, I pray that I
may not know of it. But if I know
of it, I pray that I may b* able to
laugh at the whole affair.’’
The Great Sonlbern Remedy,
For tbe cure of all diseases arising j
from diseased blood, is Rosadalls. It
cures Scrofula, Gout, Goitre, Con- :
sumption, White Swelling, Rheuma
tism, Bronchitis, Nervous Debility,
Malaria and all diseases of a kindred
nature arising from an impure condi
tion of the blood. It is perfectly mar
vellous how, in many cases, after phy
sicians have failed to cure, a single
bottle of Rosadalis seems to effect
such a marked change as to give new
hope and life. Read this letter:
Rehoboth. Va., Nov 22, 1880.
I have been a great sufferer with in
flammatory rheumatism for the past
twelve months. I was induced to try
your preparation, Rosadalis, and I i
have been greatly benefitted. My |
hands and feet are still enlarged, but '
I feel so much better, that I want to |
continue taking tbe Rosadalis.

wasn’t long before the doctors began
to congregate.
“Smith got there first and looked tlic
old mail over. ‘Dead,’ 6ays he, and
went away.
“Then Brown came in. ’Dead,’ says
he.
“Jones was the third one in, nnd he
rammed a stomach-pump down the old
man's throat and pumped up tbe drug
store. Then he reversed the action of
tbe puinp and flooded the old man with
water, and, after sloshing him around
for a while—same as if he was rinsing
out a cider barrel—he pumped ont the
water and then flooded him again
Xoxon wasn’t iu the habit of taking, so
much water in bis’n, nnd pretty soon
he began to gasp and kick. Before
morning Jones had him all right, and
went away feelingdead sure that there
was but oue first-class doctor in the
world. A few days afterward he pre
sented his bill.
“ ‘What’s this for?’ says old Noxon.
“‘For saving your life the other
night,’ savs Jones.
“‘Well, I didn’t ask yon to. I never
employed you, and I’ll not pay it.
You’d no business coming in here and
jambing your old pump down my neck.
Brown is my family physician mid
I’ll not pay anybody else,’ says Noxou.
“So away went Jones to Brown’s of
fice and tried to get him to induce old
Nixon to pay the bill.
“ ‘Jones,’ says Brown, looking ont
over the top of his spectacles, ‘I never
thought yon was a bad sort of a fellow,
but you’ve done a very foolish thing,
and it serves you right to lose yonr bill.
It’s a good lesson to you, and I hope
you’ll profit by it. Didn’t I say he
was dead?’
“ ‘Yes,’ says Jones.
“‘Didn’t Smith say he was dead?’
“ ‘Yes,’ says Jones.
“ ‘Well, thatsettled it! The man was
dead, aod you had no right to say that
he wasn’t. When two old, experienc
ed doctors, like Smith and I, say a man
is dead, it’s unprofessional and discour
teous for a young man, a beginner in
practice, to'dispnte their word. We’ll
lorgive you this time, because of your
youth and inexperience, and will hush
the matter up for you, but be very

SliSppinc: Fruit, and Vegetable*.
Saramuh Nem.
Among the important subjects of dis-
enssionat the recent convention in New
Orleans of the Mississipppi Valley
Horticultural Association, was that of
the handling and shipment of fruits
and vegetables. Refrigerating cars
were strongly advocated, where gov
erned by one person intelligently, but
considered as impracticable for general
use. Weil ventilated cars, both for
express and freight were deemed nec
essary for carrying frnit daring warm
weather, and transportation companies
urged to provide such. Cars packed
solid with fruits and vegetables, it was
argued, generated sufficient heat to
damage them seriously, and to avoid
this tbe air should circnlate freely,
as indispensable to good keeping.
The shipments srom the South to the
North were thought large enough to
warrant a demand upon the railrway
companies for properiy constructed ex
press freight cars for the preservation
of perishable property confided
to their charge, enough of such
care to properly load and carry the
6ame; that proper time be given at such
stations as need it for careful handling,
! etc., for such time of the year as they
j need it, and that care^should be run
from the point of loading to the market
■ or destination without breaking bulk.
It was thought best to ship peaches
j in thrce-bnshel boxes, and that the
I peaches should be carefully picked,
without bruising or undue pressure.
Some favored packing in excelsior or
moss, bnt the majority favored ship-
men t without any packing material. A
! resolution was introduced recommend-
| ing that all fruits be sold by weight,
| and that the net weight, the variety of
the fruit and the name of the shipper
be marked upon each package. Anoth
er resolution recommended in shipping
strawberries, the U3e of the full quart
box and twenty-four quart case, well
secured with tacks against the falling
down of the bottoms; also that return
packags be entirely discarded.
