Attention is directed to the ad
vertisement of the Albany Oil Mill ill
another column. They propose to in
sure cotton left with them for gin
ning, and to gin at the low price of
$1.00 per bale. They will buy the seed
for cash or exchange cotton seed meal
for them. It is optional with the
farmer, however, whether he disposes
of hiaseed trail—it will make no dif
ference as 'to'the price of ginning.
The company desires to buy' all the
seed it can get, but will not expect
fanner* to sell them unle-s they choo*e
to do so. We invite fanners to give
this company a trial. We can cor
dially commend it to our friends.

It is reported that the fire steamers

for this is, that the Leebburg Tele

sick and unable to be st his post; but
Prof. Hunter ably supplied his place.
When we arrired Prof. Hunter
in the midst of a lecture on geography.
It was very interesting, and the teach
ers were quite attentive. After Prof.
Hunter got through with the whites,
he adjonrned to the department as
signed to the colored teachers, and,
after having some excellent singing
by them, proceeded to review the
class in geography. We were very
much pleased with the proceedings,
and we know of no place where one
can spend ill hour more pleasantly or
profitably. The public in invited to
attend at ail times.

For several days past the News and

knowing that they were, masters of
the situalion. No concessions being
made the strike took place yesterday
at 12 o’clock M. It was the office

3!1m Sallle Bacon’s Friends Recog
nize Her Wo rill—A Spontaneous
Trlbnte.
The concert at Willingham’s Hall
Tuesday night was, in every part.cu-
lar, worthy the fair beueficiary and
the splendid talent of those takiug
part It is most creditable to the
people of Albany that they are ready
to recognize the truly meritorious.
Miss Bacon has served our people well
and faithfully as their Librarian, and
it was the universal desire to show
appreciation in a manner worthy
‘he in selves and complimentary to the
young lady:
Tuesday uight the city of Albam
paid a tribute to merit, and honoret
herself by honoring Miss Bacon. Ii
will be impossible lo particularize the
performers. That would require
more space than could be spared, even
were we prepared to criticize. It is
sufficient to say that the performance
was fully up to the most sanguine
expectations. Each performer enter
ed fully into the inspiration of the oc
casion, and the large audience mani
fested its delight by frequent ap
plause.
The programme was adhered to
with one or two exceptions, which it
is not necessary to explain.
There was an intermission given dur
ing the eveiiing when a drawing took
place for some articles contributed by
Mr. J. Lorch, and for which tickets
had been previously sold. Mr. Lorch’a
contribution was quite liberal—
amounting to about $28. This liber
ality will doubtless be fully appre
ciated by M is* Bacon’s friends, for it
swelled the net receipts consideraoly.
In this lottery or drawing, Mr.
Hugo Robins >n drew an elegant dre*s
pattern, and Mr. Ed. Leben a pair o
pan's.
The receipts at the door amounted
to $81, which, added to the contribu
tion of Mr. Lorch, of $28, amounted
to $109, a very neat little sum.
The ladies and gentlemen who took
part in this concert deserve credit fo^
ihe kindness of heart that prompted
them, and for the artistic manner In
which the music and tableaux were
• endered. Ii was pronounced by
competent critics to be equal to any
entertainment ever given in Albany,
and we have had many.
It would give us pleasure to person
ate the perfoimers, but we c»nnot do
so without mentioning all; and when
all did so well, distinctions would be
out of place. All should feel satis
fied, for all did well and gave the
acdience complete satisfaction.
India Shawls.
Dry Goods Reporter.
An India shawl, like a wonderful
painring, possesses beauty untold to a
cultivated eye. More wonderful still
is this beauty when we think of the
long, weary hours occupied in making
it, and the many stitches inserted
slowly and carefully by different
hands. The odd-looking leaf you ad
mire in one corner, and the gay-color
ed one in another, exemplify the old
story of “extremes meeting;” for the
possibility is that they were made 50
miles apart, am- then wedded together
by the calculating merchant. It is a
little curious to know that in this man
ufacture the maker does not know his
own pattern, even if he makes the eu-
tire shawl; for he makes by written
directions, and on the wrong side,
using a needle very much like a match
sharpened at both ends. To make
handsome shawl requires one year’s
steady work, and one is insensibly re
minded of life’s own story—the threads
going in and out for so long a time
with no knowledge of what the - result
will be.
“The Yale of Cashmere” to-day fur
nishes, in one way, as many beauties as
t did when Moore sang of it; and il
LalU Rookh docs not wear the soft,
clinging drapery, English and Ameri
can beauties do. Orientalism being
sought for in all its phases just now,
shawls for the past year or two have
been worn more largely than ever be
fore. With little trouble an India
shawl may be transformed- into an
elegant garment, as witness the shawl
ilolmaus which have been so popular,
the dull green or cliilly-looking blue,
that forms the centre of the shawl,
being caught up in wrinkles by an Orb
ital silk picquet to assume the shape
of a hood. Some shawls have been
cut Into coats, which were elegant and
stylish-looking, but one finds upon ex
amination that no woman is barbaric
nough to cut a real Iudia shawl used
for this purpose are generally imita-
‘ : -*ns of the India, the Decca, and the
Y. ley cashmere. An exquisite work
jl art is a Delhi shawl, which afier
baring all the richest of Oriental color
ings bestowed upon it, is further
graced by threads of gold, that show
their presence by gleaming and glis
tening at each movement of the wear
er. A cashmere variety, made in
France, is in black, cream aud cocher,
wiih soft, clinging looking fringe to
match, and can be used at the seaside
•n combination with bright dresses

Sodden Death oc Betrosbed Lovers.
Cincinnati Comtnerci»1 -iJtz-tte
One of the saddest affairs to occur
a long time is reported from
Orange Township, this county. Miss
Alice, the charming daughter ot
John Montsroiuery, Esq., was court
ed by the beans of all that section,
but was won by a bright, industri
ous young man named Will Swank,
who had long been devoted to her.
Their engagement was known, and
arrangements for the wedding were
in progress, when yonng Swank was
suddenly taken ill, The symptoms
of that fatal malady, quick consump
tion, were early developed, and his
fate was sealed. Miss Alice was
just convalescent from an attack of
measles, and insisted on seeing her
lover, as he continually talked of her
when occasionally delirious and ask
ed about her in rational intervals.
On her way home she was caught in
a drenching rain, which resulted in
pneumonia being developed. The
two young people now talked, only
of death, and repeatedly asked "to be
buried side by side. The first of the
week he bi eathed his last, and the
next day Miss Alice followed him.
Their request wasobserved, and their
funeral was the largest ever known
in that section of the county.
Oh the Rlsslit Track.
Editor S'eics and Advertiser:
The course of your paper in sev
eral recent allusions to demand’ made
by the telegraphic brotherhood, is not
only worthy of attention, but of sin-
crr.- approval from all quarters.
It is true, it places the N xws and
Adveutiser somewhat in antagonism
with other journals of tlie Slate,
nevertheless, such divergence of opin
ion will, in the end, prove emi-
nently justifiable.. If the brotherhood,
ss employes at the hands of a great
monopoly, dre unreasonable in their
demands, if they have not been badly
ivertaxed as to boars, and have been
tdeqnately paid for skillful and pecu-
i iar service, then the sooner they re
am - to duty the better for th< at-
selves and the public'exigencies. On
tbe contrary, if their burthens have
been too heavy and the pay too light,
they merit, as they must receive, the
sympathy and material support of
right-minded, fair dealing people
everywhere.
It is impossible to agree with those
who ptofess, with far more sophis
try than truth, to foresee in this
manly proposition of a great brother
hood, if accepted, an evil, far search
ing in its balefnl influence and affect
ing all associations down to their low
est grades. It is simplr ridiculous to
argue the point, tnat if the demand
being made bv skilled telegraph opera
tors is agreed to, we may look for an
immediate corresponding strike at the
hands of the washerwomen, the
chamber maid, the cook, tbe boot-
black, tbe hewers of wo id und the
drawers of water. For one, I repudi
ate all such flimsy logic. The cases
are not at all analogous.
For tbe time we discuss the point of
that remuneration to which intelligent
brain service is honestly entitled a*
contra-distingoished from brute force
and the wise exercise of animal brain
and muscle. An epoch of golden glory
will have come when the world shall
witness, tor the first time, that strange
paradox, an eminent jurist pleading
for the life or liberty of a criminal at
the bar, and having gained his.causp,
to be rewarded for service in an ex
act ratio with the wood chopper or the
well digger. If the world renowned
artist, Dorc, received fifty thousand
francs for one of his magnificent
creations, is that any earthly reason
why a mere dauber of patent medi
cine advertisements, plastered on
fences and dead walls, should be paid
in proportion for a thousand fold less
intellectual service?
The skillful, practical telegraph
operator ig an artist, and as such
should be rewarded for rare acquire
ments, and when denied such recog
nition for eminent service it becomes
bis solemn duty to himsek and the
profession to abandon the field and ap
peal in thunder tones to the gum-
elastic consciences of bit oppressor-
for that justice to which he is entitled.

The Atlanta correspondent of the

lowing ina recent letter:
I notice a denial of mv telegram to
the Enquirer-Sun, that the Central
railroad had gotten control of the
Brunswick and Western railroad. It
matters not how many denials are
made by depot agents and small man
agers, the fact is as I first reported—
to wit: that Ihe Central railroad has a
controlling interest in the Brunswick
sod Western Tailroad. 1 received my
information from parties in a position
to know what they were talking
about. After a little while those in
authority may notify the several agents
of the purchase. In these days finan
ciering it is not customary to consult
all the employes of a railroad before
purchase is made. Columbus and
Ihe counties below will bave reason to
know that my information was cor
rect, in that they will observe tbnt
the road will not be built Of course
they will finish the bridge at Albany,
because the bridge was under contract
and the contractors will finish it in
order to get their money.
