A Remedy lor Dysentery.
The following simple remedy has
been known to cure the most obstinate
and malignant forms of dysentery,
when all the ordinary methods were
ineffectual: Take hot water one-
fourth of a pint; vinegar half a pint;
mix, then continue to add common
salt as long as it will be dissolved,
stirring and irritating it freely and fre
quently. Give for an adult one table-
spoonful every hour until the bloody
discharges cease, or until it operates
freely on the bowels.

Mr. L J. Brinson informed usTucs-
terday that he had 125 acres in cotton
—fresh land—that was stripped of it®
leaves by caterpillars. Th«*v. are

Brinson: “I made 100 bales of cotton

think I wdl get exceeding twenty-five
thi® vear. The cotton is as good or
better than la-t yeer. hut' the worms

This is a gloomy report, and we are
sorry to make it, but it is true. We
much fear this will be a disastrous

Iced Tea.
Iced lea is now in season for supper
and at lunch. If you wish to have it
perfect, and without the least trace of
bitter, put the tea in cold water hours
before it i- to be used; the deluate
flavor of the tea and abundant strength
will be extracted, and there will not be
a trace—if one s taste is the judge —of
the tannic and acid which renders tea
so often disagreeable and undrinkable.
You need not n o more than the usual
quantity of tea. If it is to be served
at a 1 o’clock meal, put it in water
soon after breakfast, and ice a few
minutes before serving. The l*est way
is to have the ice broken in a pitcher,
and put* one lump in each glass.
Dascer From Swine*.
The following communication from
ex-Mayor Daniel U. Clymer, of Read
ing, P:i., embodies an important sug
gestion, which it would be well to
heed:
Editor Reading Times: Near to
each end of a joist a bole is bored.
Hun a rope through each bole, and tie
three knots on top of said joist to se
cure it to l old the swing seat. Then
lie a knot in each rope three inches
below thcjoLt; this done, tie a strong
safety ropa under said knot; then lay
ly over the top of the
PRIHCS AKri'NBlS ;
Or, the Second First Bale.
Fridty, the 20;b, inst, Mr. Primus
Jones sent in his second bale of now
cotton, which places him ahead ol
Georgia by tiro, aud ahead of Texas
by one. .
The cotton was consigned to the en
terprising firm of Wight & Galls way,
who shipped it to the Atlanta Cotton
Exchange per expre s.
The bale classed middling, and
weighed 3G5 pounds.
ThU last “first bale’* acts as a
clincher, a.id will perhaps silence cer
tain parties who have been trying to
get up a feeling of doubt as to the
genuineness of the first “first bale*’—
this, it mu'l be tetuetubered, is the
second “first Georgia bale,’’ and if
! some one else does not m jve up, Pri-
j mus will bripg in the third before they
! know it.
! Hurrah for Jones, Baker county,

mus made it, Albany received it, and

letter from Dr H. R. Casey upon the
curative properties of our artesian
water. We ask from our leading con
temporaries abroad some little con
sideration upon thi® subject, and hope
they* will be able to give this letter
room iu their columns for the benefit
of the public generally. Dr. Casey is

Thk News and Adyeuiiskr hail a

visited Alban; in the interest of the

way, and ia writing up the principal
terminal and intermediate points along
the lines of this great system, which
will be embodied in their annual
Guide Book. Mr. Graves is well quali
fied for this undertaking, and will do
full justice, and in such a readable
shape as to attract attention. Alban;
will leceive its full share o*f attention
from his pen, and judging from the
conversation we had with him, we
may look for a flattering notice
Mr. Graves is not nnknowu in Al

miles of the city, and remembers
many of his oid friends. He is also a
relative of Capt. John T. Heater, of
this city. It i9 refreshing to hear
him praise onr artesian water. He is
so charmed with it that we expect to
have him with ns again at no distant
day. He .will always find a hearty
welcome at this office.

A young man by the name of Jas.
Bunch, from Mitchell county, was ar
rested last Saturday at the instance
of Mr. Joe) W.Joiner, the jeweler,and
lodged in jail on a charge of larceny.
It appears that Mr. Joiner had aold
a heavy plain gold ring just before
dinner, and left it on his table to be en
graved as soon as he returned from
dinner. When he came hack the ring
was missing, and upon inquiry his
suspicions res'ed upon Bunch. Mr.

was informed Jhat a party had been

Tbe Lanaary strut.
For the last ten years the ultra-fash
ionables of New York city have, when
taking their promenades down Broad
way, adopted various styles of car
riage, beginning with the never to be
foygotton “Grecian Bend,’’ which was
ridiculed from one extreme of the
continent to the other, and which soon
gave way to other styles of position in
walking—the present being an erect
and gracelul carriage, the best and
most sensible of them all.and known as
the “Langtry Strut’’—so called from its
being introduced into the country by
the graceful Englishwoman from
whom it gets its name. The English
are the most practical pedestrians in
the world, and tbe “Jersey Lily” is no
exception to the majority of her coun
trywomen.
This di -sertalion upon style in walk
ing is given for the benefit of those
over anxious mothers who. not being
familiar with tbe varied phases of
fashionable life, a imagine the name
of the late style in pedestrianism
is full of terrible meaning and signifi
cance. |

—murder In Dooly.
The Dooly Pindienfor has the fol
lowing account of a most horrible trage
dy, enacted last Sunday at Friendship
Church neardhe line of Wilcox Coun
ty. The parties to the affair were
Sampson Cason and Samuel Clifton:
“On Sunday, at the church, Cason
was on his way from the spring to the
church yard and met Clittoii, with
other yonng men, on his way to the
spring, and as CaBon approached
Clitton, he said to Clifton with an
oath, “you have been talking about me
long enough, and I’ll give you some
thing to tuk about,” and plunged bis
knife Into Clifton’s breast, making a
five inches deep and about six
iches long, catting into the heart and
exposing it to view. Clifton drew his
knife and made a step or two in tbe
direction to Cason, and fell and died
in three minutes. He never spoke
before or after the stabbing.
Coroner Gilbert held on inquest, and
the jury rendered a verdict of “willful
murder.” •
A warrant has been Issued, and every
effort will be made for Cason’s arrest.
The friends of Clifton have offered a re
ward for the capture of Cason.
An Artesian Snceestlon.
Editor Hews and Advertiser:
It is admitted by all that our ar
tesian well here bestows an incalcu
lable blessing on onr citizens. Not
only that onr city no longer will feel
the want of a pure water, bnt its me
dicinal qualities has given relief to
many persons who heretofore have
sooght in vain everywhere to obtain
it. The true virtue of this water will
soon cause Albany to become n sum
mer and winter resort for people of
ail classes and sections. The bene
fits it dispenses npon all people who
have come'here ia tbe best medium of
advertising. Under all these admit
ted facts, how is it that it has aot at
tracted the attention of onr City
Fathers that within about four feet of
the present well another one is exist
ing, the water of which is very
strongly impregnated with sulphur
and iron, and could be made available
by inserting a pump at a cost of abont
|100. I am credibly informed that
Mr. Jackson will obligate himself to
do tbe work at that price. Is it not
plain that a variety of waters will core
a variety of diseases, and hence make
the place more preferable to a greater
number of people? The idea that one
well woaid effect the other is absurd,
for the reason that the water emenate9
from two different current?, and is
carried to the surface by two distinct
pipes. I trust that we may soon en
joy the benfits of all the minerals ob
tainable, especially when it can be
obtained at such a low cost. L.
UF.SI.KY CHAPEL BARBECUE.
snallas. From tbe Worth Star.
Editor Hanlon knows what a good
*hing i?, and appreciates it for all it is
worth. Heattended the Wesley Chap
el barbecue, in West Dougherty, and
devotes over three column? to report
ing it. A? the News and Advertiser
could not send a representative on
the occasion,-we -hall take the liber
ty of cnlling from Bro. Hanlon’s re
port some of the good things he says
of onr county and people:
Capt. Jae >b Lurch is as good ou the
“rostrum” a- he is among Ihe cotton
bales.
The prettiest yonng lady at the bar
becue was from East Dougherty, and
the prettic-t married lady was from
Albany.
East Doughertr is famous for grand
barbecues. The Inst one was the best,
and reflected credit on all who aided in
making it a success. The Wesley
Chapel barbecue trill long he remem
bered pleasantly by all who attended.
The Albany warehouses were rep
resented by Messr?. Weston, Irvin,
Callaway, Hall and Atkinson. Capt.
Weston was armed with Iwo demijohns
of ariesian water nnd a box of ice;
ihe others, if armed, kept them con
cealed, so far as we know.
Mr. J. W. Mock seized our right
hand and ltd us to that uortion of the
table presided over by Mis. Geo. W.
Mock. Here we anchored, and par
took of one of the best fe.sts we ever
attended. Barbecued pork, kid and
mutton, baked chicken, the nicest of
cakes, pies and custard-, and nnmer-
ius choice nicknack? were spread
npon the table in lavish abundance.
We occupied the rear rank, and our
file lender was that clever young
warehouseman. Mr. S. D. Irvin, Jr,
who fought nobly throughout the en
gagement, and, l,y example stimulated
our friend, Bnd Mock, to deeds of
valor in the charge on the contents of
the table.
the man fnlly described. He then
went to Welch A Mu-e’s and learned
that the same party had been there on
a similar errand Bnnch also tried to
dispose of a ring to W T. Cox.
Mr. Joiner then spotted his man,
and seenring the services of Sheriff
Edwards started for the depot, where
the man Bunch had gone to take
the train. He saw the officer coming
and ran, but was overhauled at the
depot, and carried to jail. It was then
discovered that Bunch had three
of Mr. Joinor's rings nrd a watch.
Bunch had been looking at some rings
in the morniug, aud when Mr. Joiner’s
back was turned, he concealed two of
them. This was not known until the
search was made at tlie jail. The
large ring; which up to this time was
the only one missed, was found in
Bunch’s shoe. _
Bunch owned np tbe whole affair,
and asked how much money it would
take to settle the matter. He said he
had plenty ef money and would plank
dowu any amonnt to hash it np; bat
Mr. Joiner informed him he would not
compoand crime, and he would have
to take the consequences.
This was a bold theft in broad open
daylight, and in a bouse fnll of men.
Mr. Joiner occupies a window at Chan
Joues’ drug store. Mr. I. B. Brinson
remembered seeing the man leaning
over Ihe railing, and easily identified
him.
Bunch ia the same party that shot
a negro woman in this city the day of
the show Isst fall.
Mr. Bob Jenkins; of Mitchell coun
ty, paid him ont of that scrape. Bnnch
is still living on Mr. Jenkins’ place.
Bunch having confessed his goilt, was
committed to jail, where he still re
mains, being unable to give bail.

A SNIPE HUNT ON CUMBERLAND ISLAND.
They are large, lnscious, fat; and
when well prepared tor the table, are
par excellence. They are landed to
sach an extent that a dozen gentle
men determined to bag a few. So, af
ter an early supper, the party started
for the beach. A walk southward of
five miles brought the party to the
hunting ground. The sand-bank gave
way to a miniature prairie of a hun
dred yards or so, covered with green,
marshy looking gress. The bag was
to be set at a narrow opening between
the sand-bank, and then Dr. Gainbati
was stationed right in the centie of
the plain. Bag in position, the bal
ance circled round to the right and
left to drive in the birds they circled;
th»y whooping and whistling. The
tide wss^t flood, coming in splendidly,
and soon the face of onr little prairie
shimmered in the moonlight with the
rising flood. The Doctor's little sand
hi'l wag still dry, but a few minutes
later a foaming courser rode clean
over them, taking with it the Doctor’s
bag. The situation then, for the first
time, struck him; and a sudden jump,
a sadden plunge in a black, murky
hole was the result. Phosphorous—
emitting a thousand jets. The next
moment, from a black early head:
“Help, boys, help'.’ 1 screams a fright
ened voice : “Ob, Lord! my babies !
My sweet babies! Help me, Lord,
help me ! or I perish !’’ His only an
swer was the wild requiem of the wild
sea waves, and Ihe poor Doctor gave
himself up fur lost. Just then a
gallant mountaineer, who had himself
tried to catch snipes, hailed the now
well frightened’Doitoi, and guided
him to a friendly sand bill, safe from
old ocean's billows. The Doctor got
back to tbe Sea Side House at the wee
sma’ hoars anent the twal, wiser by s
foot and a-half about the mysteries of
snipe hunting on Cumberland.
Hr. Jackson lias also distinguished
himself as Ihe celebrated “shark
lander.” Capt. Wight having set ont
his hooka with about halt a beef on

when everything was quiet, and every

fatigue, Capt. Hobbs appeared at the
window of tbe aforesaid gentleman,
and requested bis assistance to land
a large shark that had just been hung.
He at once sprang through the win
dow and down to the wharf, and alone
landed one that measered 11% inches.
He now wears the end of his tail upon
the lapel of his coat as asonvenier of

Ed. Wight caught a fine one this
morning, and is now contented.
Jackson knows more about artesian
wells than shark fishing.
Capt. Hobbs is, as usual on such
trips, the life of-the whole party.
With his practical jokes and fishing
skill, the party is not only made jovial
and kept in good spirits, (I don’t

plied with plenty of fish.

ART NOTES.
What oor Fair Artists are at Work
Upon this Summer,
Albany has more artistic talent than
any ether city of its size in the conn-
try.
Mrs. Btcon has jnst completed an
artistic painting from nature of a dead
dock. It is like all of her paintings,
perfect.
The raffle for the oil painting, men
tion of which was made in these col
umns a few days since, will tske place
next week. Tbe proceeds are for a
worthy object.
Another art exhibition is promised
in November. It will he even larger
acd more complete than the one given
last year, and will be an interesting
exponent of Albany’s talent.
Miss Psnl Tarver has recently com
pleted a lovely painting of Romeo and
Joliet, and Mrs. E. L. Wight is pat
ting the finishing touch to a large paint
ing of a mounted Arab warrior.
Mrs. Bacon has done much to ele
vate and refine the tastes of tbe yonng
people, and at her studio the visitor
can always see beantifol creations
springing into life beneath the dex
terous touch of the fair artists.
Pastoral scenes are popular among
the yoong ladies. Mi3s Annie Mayo
has just completed a beautiful oil
painting of cattle grazing, and Misa
Nella Cutliff is now at work npon a
perfect little gem, the subject being
somewhat similar.
Miss Mamie Chaires will return to
Dawson with an elegant assortment of
painted china, the result of her in
dustry this summer. Among her latest
productions are two beantifni plaques,
one “the Jerseys,” the other “The
witche’s Daughter.” She is now at
work npon a plate in three colors with
a wild vine and pnrple berries trailing
down one side.

\Tliat a Steamship Captain Says or
the Late Seizure or the Frnit In
New York.
Savannah News.
Further inquiry into tlie circum
stances connected with the late seizure
of a portion of a cargo of watermelons
by the health authorities at New York,
shows that if the melons referred to han
had been promptly|taken from the warf
by parties to whom they were con
signed a great deal of the fruit would
have probably escaped injury and
consequent liability to condemnation.
As it was some of the frnit was
damaged in transit to New York and
in the handling, but the amonnt was
very small. The delay in moving the
frnit from the wharf, and after it had
passed ont of the hands of the steam
ship company, exposed the melons to
a risk for which op|y those to whom
the goods were consigned were re
sponsible.
Captain Fisher, of the steamship
“Tallahassee,” in response to an in
terrogatory yesterday, said that few
cargoes of melons wholly escape in
jury in transit, and that often as many
as a thousand are broken or otherwise
damaged before the shipment reaches
the New York wharf. Especially is
this the case if the weather proves to
be stormy daring the ran np the coast
Sometimes as many more are broken
after the frnit baa been delivered on
the wharf at New York. He also said
that one reason why the consignees
neglect to move tbe fruit is that they
wish to avoid the cost of stowing it
elsewhere, and that he was pleased tP
see the health anthoritiesat New York
take action in a matter which should
have been attended to in former sea
sons.
A Card From Generals Beauregard
and Early.
A publication headed, “Are the
Louisiana Lottery drawings fafr,”
which originally appeared in several
Northern and Western papers as an
advertisement, by a hostile lottery
company, as we beiieve, has been
copie t into a number of other pa
pers, doubtless as an advertisement
also. Tbe charges, insinuations, and
inuendoes contained iu said publica
tion are false in every respect, so far
as they affect the fairnessof the draw
ings of tlie Louisiana Lottery, or the
integrity of the acts of the Lottery
Company. When the undersigned
hid charge only of the semi-annual
drawings, they counted the tubes
containing tbe numbers previous to
each of (hose drawings to be certain
that all were po‘ in the whee>. Since
they have had charge of the monthly
drawings also, tbe wheel has been
under their exclusive control, and
after each drawing they hare restor
ed all the drawn numbers to the
wheel, locked ir, aud sealed it in such
manner as to render it impossible
for the numbers to be reached or in-
terferr.d with without their knowl
edge They have thus been always
certain that all the numbers were in
the wheel at each drawing, and they
alone arc responsible for the integ
rity of the drawings. The sugges
tion that eacli ticket holder, on the
day of and before each drawing,
should- be allowed to call out his
number and see it put in the wheel,
is too absurd to deceive any one who
ever witnessed a single number
drawing, and any lottery company
which resorts to any such trick proves
itself to be a fraud.
The intimation that persons have
been paid to allow their names to be
published as the winners of prizes in
this Lottery is also false and without
tile slightest foundation in fact.
Millions of dollars have been paid
out by the Company in prizes
through the banks and express
agencies, as can be ascertained from
the bank officers iu New Orleans,
and the Express Agents in New York,
Washington City, and in this city, as
well aa from the winners ot the
prizes whose names have been given
to the public.

Compliments Between Jndee and
Jury.
From tbe Fairborn (Ga.) news.
It is, and long has been, the custom
of Grand Juries in Georgia, in closing
their general presentments, to tender
thanks to tbe presiding Judge “for bis
faithful discharge of duty and bis dig
nified vet cautious, bearing toward
our body.” So general ia this custom
that we have never heard of more than
one instance where it was violated.
Once, when Judge W. F. Wright was
holding court in Douglasviile, he was
in a hurry to get through with hus-
iness and adjourn court, so besent word
to the Grand Jury that he desired them
to bring their general presentments
into court at once. In a few minutes
the jury filled into the court-room with
their presentments, which contained
the usual compliments to the court,
but wound up as follows: “Owing to
our having been hurried through our
business by the Judge, we have been
unable to investigate some important
matters as thorougiy as we would have
liked.” “Gentleman,” said Judge
Wright,“unless yon immediately return
to your room and amend these present
ments by striking out the paragraph
reflecting on the honor of this court
I shall fine you foi contempt $10 eaon.”
The jury retired and soon returned
with the obnoxious paragraph stricken
out, but to show tbeir disapproval of
tbe Judge’s course they also struck out
the paragraph thanking him for his
courtesy, etc. And the presentments
thus went on the minutes.

An Encounter with a SharkV
The Savannah Times states tbe
case of a colored man who, while
fishing for sharks iu a boat near the
mouth of the Savannah river last
Thursday, passed through an excit
ing experience with one of these
fierce sea tigers, in which he narrowly
escaped with his life. He bad book
ed a shark nearly seven feet in length,
and the monster dashed furiously
against the boat several times, finally
upsetting the frightened African into
the water. Before he could reach
the shore, but a few yards off, the
shark struck him aud severely gash
ed his right leg. The line and hook
no doubt prevented more fatal work
being done, and Ihe darkey got
ashore without further damage, so
as to be able lo exhibit his wounds
to the newspaper man next morn
ing.
