WOMAN
HER BEST FRIEND!
DR. J. BRABFIEID’S
FEMALE REGULATOR
This famous remedy most happily meets the
demand of the ago for women’s peculiar and
multiform afflictions. It is a remedy for
WOMAN ONLY, and for one SPECIAL
CLASS of her diseases. It is a specific for
certain diseased conditions of the womb, and
promises to so control the Menstrual Function
ns to regulate all the derangements and irreg
ularities of Woman’s
MONTHLY SICKNESS.
Its proprietors claim for it no other medical
property; and to doubt the fact that this med
icine does positively possess such controlling
and regulating jiowers is simply to discredit
the voluntary testimony of thousands of living
witnesses wlio are to-day exulting in their
restoration to sould health and happiness.
Udil’s [mil Eigililir
is strictly a vegetable compound, ami is the
productjnf medical science and practical ex
perience directed towards the benefit of
SUFFERING WOMAN!
*t is the studied prescription of a learned phy-
ician tv hose specialty was WOMAN, and
.vboeef.imc became enviable and boundless
because of his wonderful success in the treat
ment and cure of female complaints. THE
REGULATOR is the GRANDEST REMEDY
known, and richlv deserves its name:
f
Because it controls a closs of functions the
various derangements of which cause more ill
health than all other causes combined, and
thus rescues her from a long train of affletious
which sorelv embitter her life, and prema
turely end her existence. Oh! what a multi
tude *of living witnesses can testify to its
charming effects! Woman ! take to your con
fidence tliis

Dr. Taliaferro Jones was showing,

This pear is the biggest of the season,

Bob Slappy says that on liis planta

he will not be able to gather more than
tea bales of cotton from 120 acres.
The experiments with millo-maize in
this county j this year, have been en

year.
Mr. J. B. Acree, of Mitchell coun
ty, was on the streets Thursday. He

of the caterpillars in that county, but
thinks that two-thirds of a crop will

city from West Virginia, on Saturday
night, and took charge of Messrs. N.

tie Shackelford, of this city, will come

We learn that an Indiana company
is at work at Poulan, Worth county,
erecting two large planing mills. It is
thought that the mills will be in oper
ation in four or five weeks. When
finished they will have a capacity of
60,000 feet a day.
We learn that William Lee was
killed by lightning near Pelham, Ga.,
one day last week, while covering the
gin-honse of Representative Maples
of Mitchell county. A Mrs. Chance
was badly injured by the same bolt,
and several other parties were severe
ly shocked.
John Anderson, an East Dougher
ty negro, swore ont a warrant against
old man Ed. Harris, last week, for
pointing a gun at him. Old man Ed.
retaliated by swearing out a warrant
against John charging him with steal
ing a tnrkey. Ed. gave bond, and
John went jail.
Yesterday morning a negro man
made his appearance on Broad street
leading three hound puppies. He oc
casionally cast a glance of tender so
licitude down at them. He probably
thinks more highly of them than he
does of his right to bay and own a
plantation.
Besides the caterpillar, no disaster
has overtaken the cotton crop in this
neighborhood, this year. Bat Sep
tember storms may be set down as
among the certain things yet in the
future. Cotton that Is open in the
fields when these storms come will be
badly damaged.
The News and Advertiser learns
from what it considers a credible
source that orders for nineteen thous
and dollars' worth of liquors were
taken in this city, by the representa
tive of a Cincinnati liquor house, on
last Saturday afternoon. Getting ready
tor prohibition!
Col. Primus Jones, of Baker county,
who was in the city a few days ago, said
that if it were not for the damage to
his cotton crop by rust and caterpillars,
he would have made 200 bales, or 25
bales to the mule, tikis year. As it is be
says he will gather 15 bales of cotton and
200 bushels of corn to the mule.
The bill prohibiting members of the
Legislature and judicial officers from
using free passes over the railroads
was defeated in the House by a vote of
24 to 76. Mr. Arnheiin did himself
and his constituents the credit to speak
and vote in favor of the bill. There
were 75 members that failed to vote.
“One of the best speeches made on the
Military bill in the Legislature was by
Mr. Aruheim. He has a great deal of
sense and real eloquence,** says the
Augusta Chronicle. The compliment is
deserved, and coming from the source
it does it is no ordinary one. Editor
Randall Is a competent judge of “sense
and real eloquence.”
We learn from the Maeon corres
pondent of the Atlanta Constitution
that “Dr. J. R. Price, who was in
jured by the fall of a platform iu a giu
house on his plantation, in Lee county,
last week, Is rapidly recovering.”
This will be gratifying news to the
many friends ot Dr. Price in the baili
wick of the News and Advertiser.
Rialto Restaurant.
This popular restaurant will be
thrown open to the public for the
season of 1885-6, to-day. By reference
to Mr. Yentulett’s advertisement it
will be seen that the ladies’ depart
ment lias been closed. Everything
about the Rialto is first-class, and no
better restaurant can be found in the
country. It is now ready for busi-
Dailjr Ereninf Republican.

z of lore and of mef
Dorse Fagan tells a good caterpil
lar story. He says that out on Mr.
John Coker’s place he saw a field in
which the caterpillars had stripped
the cotton stalks of every leaf, and
hacj commenced to devour each other.
He said that one stout caterpillar
would eat two or three others and
grow so fast that he (Dorse, not the
caterpillar) could see him stretching.
The merchants of Albany are do
ing more “fixing up” at present than
we have ever noticed before.
Most of them have had the interior of
their stores repainted, and
many really very handsome im
provements have been made. It
pays to give the interior of a store an
attractive, invitiug appearauee. New
goods don’t look well on dingy shelves.
Some of the single ox-teams that
come to Albany on Saturdays are pret
ty fair counterparts of those to be seen
in the marts of Turcomania, if any re
liance is to be put on the illustrated ar
ticles published by visitors to that re
gion of Asia. The ingenuity of the
Georgia negro and that of the Turco
man seem to be about on a par. but
the similarity between them ends with
that resemblance.
Sam Jones is reported as saying:
“Next to a pretty girl, I love a fast
horse.” Any sinner can love pretty
girls, and take an interest in fast horses.
It is a sort of besetting sin of average
sinners. Samuel ought to do better
than this. Until he learns to love the
homely sisters, lie is by no means safe
from “the gall of bitterness and the
bonds of iniquity”—even if he drive a
slow team in that direction.
Grant Winn, porter of Mr. S. E.
Bush, was bitten twice on Tuesday, on
the left side by a large, black spider,
which had managed, in some way, to
get on his person, under his clothes.
He tried the tobacco antidote, bat it
proved ineffectual, and it was only
after morphine was administered, hyp
odermically, that he grew'easy. He
will recover, probably; but without
medical aid his case would have been a
bad one.
On the outside of this issue will be
found a unique and characteristic letter
from a member of the Legislature to
our contemporary, the Way cross Head
light. To call it a gem would be mild
injustice. It is enough to make one
sad to think that the talents ofsogitt-
ed a humorist should be buried in the
musty committee-rooms of the Geor
gia Legislature. Will some friend
please bring him out for Governor, so
that he can be—shot?
A circus is said to be beading in this
direction, and some of the old chaps
that believe it wrong to go to circuses
will begin to employ odd moments in
talking to the children about the “ani
mals.” Thus, by putting in one word
about the “sinfulness” of circus per
formances and two words about the
“animals,” the time will be passed
until the “animals” arrive. Then the
children will take the old chaps by the
hand and gently lead them under the
canvass, and the performance will
begin.
Housekeepers in the city are now
having the usual trouble with their
hired help that comes with cotton
picking time every year. The young
bucks who loaf about the city from
one year’s end to another do not take
kindly to the cotton field; it is too
much like work for them, but the
women who “hire out” or pretend to
work at all are easily induced from the
kitchen and wash tub to the country
by the prices that are offered in the
country at this season of the year for
picking cotton.
First-class Lace Leather and Whang
Strings, for sewing belting, at
Sheefield & Bell’s.
Mb. J. B. Hannon, from near Ty
Ty, Worth county, has brought to
Albany, this season, niue bales of cot
ton that were gathered from eleven
acres. We did not learn how many
more bales he expects to gather from
the same field; but if be should gather
no more—which is very unlikely, the
yield already has been wonderful.
Mr. Hannon states that the crops in
his neighborhood are very fine. The
lands are productive, the crops have
been well tended, and they are not suf
fering from either rust or caterpillars.
The harvest promises to be bountiful.
Sunday School Association.
The Sunday School Association of
Baker County, was held at Milford last
Sunday. There was a large number
of people present, and the basket din
ner was most excellent. The capacity
of the church was inadequate to accom
modate more than half the crowd pres
ent. Col. Reuben Jones addressed the
association on how to conduct a Sun
day School. Everything passed off
pleasantly, and the occasion will long
be remembered by all who were pres
ent.
A mysterious Killing-
Mr. Thomas Rabun, of Milford, was
in the city,on Wednesday. He informed
a News and Advertiser man, while
here, that Pearce, the the young man
reported as having been shot in this
city by Weatbersby, a few Saturday
nights ago, has died from the effects of
hiswonnds. It is to be hoped that
this matter will be thoroughly investi
gated and that, meantime, steps will
be taken to arrest the man charged
with the killing. It seems to be a
mysterious affair.
Infant Read.
Mr. Thomas Clayton received a dis
patch, Sunday morning, announcing
the death of his baby in Atlanta.
The little one was sick for some time
before leaving Albany. It was the
earnest hope of the fond parents that a
change of air and surroundings would
bring the little sufferer through, but it
was written otherwise. The deliver
ance that the babe received was wrought
by other than earthly hands. It is in
the keeping of the Great Physician.
But the bereaved parents must
mourn, for all that, and their sorrow
touches a common chord of human
sympathy.
Plead Guilty-
Wili Jackson, alias WUle Hawks, the
youug rascal who stole the razor and
pocket-knife from a show-case in
Welch & Agar’s store, on Wednesday
uight, was brought up for trial before
Judge Jones, of the County Court, on
Thursday morning. The case being a
plain one against him, he plead guilty.
In view of this fact, and in considera
tion of his youth, a fine of $10 and
costs—amounting to $25 in all—was
put on him. The flue was paid, and
he was set at liberty. He will be a
little more cautious uexttime he steals
anything—which will be on the first
good opportunity.

Complimentary to the New* and
Advertiser Job Office-
Mr. C. C. Campbell, of the Albany
Cotton Compress, had occasion to
write a letter to Cincinnati, last week,
and he wrote on a letter head printed
at the News and Advertiser office.
By due course of mail he received an
answer to his letter, and the Cincin
nati house took occasion to compli
ment him upon the style and neatness
of his letter head. Everybody may
uot know it, but it is nevertheless
true, that the News and Advertiser
has the best job printer hi Georgia,
and its facilities for turning out com
mercial printing of all kinds are equal
to any in the country, North or South.
The Scratch of a Pin.
Capt. S. L. Hayes, of Poore’s Mills,
came to town, on Wednesday, to get Dr.
Bacon to go down to Colquitt county,
to see Mr. M. S. Cheshire. A few
weeks ago, Mr. Cheshire pricked one
of his fingers with a brass pin and
nothing was thought of it at the time.
But the scratch became inflamed, and
grew steadily worse, the infiammation
extending into the hand and arm. In
fact, gangrene has set iu, in the in
flamed member, and it is thought that
amputation will be necessary to save
the life of the patient. We trust it will
not be necessary to resort to heroic
treatment to save the diseased mem
ber.
Extending the City Limit*.
The News and Advertiser learns
that at the next meeting of the City
Council a motion will be made by an
Alderman who voted with the majori
ty on the subject at the last meeting,
to reconsider the action taken with
reference to the extension of the city
limits. The bill agreed to by the
Council and forwarded to our Repre
sentative in the Legislature provides
for the extension of the limits so as to
only take in the Fair Grounds and the
new* part of the City Cemetery, a ma
jority of Council voting against that
part of the bill extending the limits to
a certain line westward from the Fair
Grounds and new part of the Cemete
ry. The motion to reconsider will,
we understand, be based upon some
sort of “newly discovered evidence.”
“A eJTITCH IN TIME SAVES
NINE.” Disease In various forms is
superinduced by the existence of
worms in children and adults. Shri-
uer’s Indian Vermifuge will destroy
and expel them, thus removing the
cause, saving both life and money.
Elwood Agricultural Society.
The enterprising farmers of Elwood,
near Sumner, Worth county, have or
ganized an agricultural society, to fur
ther the interests of their useful calling.
It was officered as follows: President,
D. S. Sumner; Vice President. D. K.
McPhaul; Secretary, P. Pelham;
Treasurer, Thomas Thornhill.
Agricultural societies have been
found to be of great importance to
farmers, by aiding in the dissemina
tion of useful information, and by get
ting up a spirit of honorable emula
tion among the members.
As a role, it will be found, on inves
tigation, that agriculture is in a more
advanced state in those counties that
have had the advantage of such organ
izations than in those counties that
have neglected such aids. It is sing
ular that there isn’t such a society in
every farming county of the State.
The News and Advertiser has
been converted to the LeConte pear
again—this time by Col. J. L. Boyt.
Col. Boyt has only one tree that is

ing by the specimen of the fruit which
he gave us a few days ago.

Sallie Tucker and Miss Hatcher Ball,
left this week for their homes in Al
bany and Thomasville. During their
pleasant stay with us they seemed to
have developed a fondness for Rice or
vice versa we do not know which.”
—Mr. Reuben Jones, of Baker coun
ty, passed through the city yesterday
afternoon en route to Atlanta, where
he goes to be present at the laying of
the corner-stone of the capitol to
morrow. He is the Senior Warden of
the Grand Lodge of Masons and will
participate in the ceremonies of the
occasion.—Macon Telegraph.
—We learn that Mrs. W. P. Burks,
of this city, who left home last week to
visit relatives in LaGrange, had a nar
row escape from being badly hurt, or
perhaps from death, while on the traiaa
between Atlanta and LaGrange. Some
wretch threw a stone at the train and
the missile shattered the winTlow by
which she was sitting, barely missing
her head.
—A postal card from Mrs. L. O.
Shivers, of this city, informs us that
Mr. Shivers, who left here sick, about
two weeks ago, improved the first few
days after arriving at his father’s
home, in Clay county, then grew
worse. On account of Mr. Shivers’s
continued illness Mrs. S. writes that
their stay in Clay county will be long
er than they expected. Mr. Shivers’s
many friends in Albany Mill regret to
learn of his continued illness.
—Mr. Thos. G. Pond, of Albany,
Ga., who is in the city visiting Mr.
Alex. R. Jones and family, is just re
covering from a severe and protracted
spell of sickness, and is traveling in
upper Georgia in the hope that his
health may be speedily restored. We
are glad to know that the healthful at
mosphere ot our section is proving
beneficial, and that Mr. Pond is fast
recovering. We hope he will soon be
completely restored. Mr. Pond was
formerly a tutor in the University, and
for several years past has been a mem
ber of the board of visitors to that in
stitution.—Athens Banner-Watchman.
We intend, after the 15th of September, to
occupy the Store in Willingham’s Block, be

have made enormous reductions in every de
partment. If you need Hosiery, Table Linens,

BAILEY & SHAFFER
Billiard Saloon and Bar Room—
An Elegant Establishment.
A representative of the News and
Advertiser was invited to Inspect
the Exchange Bar and Billiard Saloon
and “write it up” yesterday. Mi
McKenna and Sinaw, the urbane pro
prietors, are polite and courteous and
thoroughly understand their business.
They have made many friends in
Albany since they began business, as
a firm, several months ago. The
saloon is located ou the corner of
Broad and Washington streets. The
room is 90x40 feet in dimensions.
The bar is beautifully and tastefully
fitted up. The furniture consists of
silver pitchers and goblets, beautiful
cut glass decanters, fancy bottles and
tinted wine glasses, goblets, and statu
ettes are placed at intervals of a few
feet on tablets above the bar furniture,
the effect of which is very pleasing.
The back-ground is a succession of fine
mirrors. This is one of the most taste
ful and beautiful bars in the city and
will favorably compare with any
establishment of the kind in the State.
To the rear of the bar are the billiard
and pool tables—there being two of
each. The wines, liquors and cigars,
at the Exchange Bar, are the very
best articles. Imported wines, liquors
and cordials from France, Germany,
Italy and Spain, are here to be found
in great variety. The champagnes
and Bhine wines are like all the goods
in the establishment—viz., of the best
and most celebrated brands. In do
mestic liquors, we saw peach brandy,
corn whisky and rye whiskies—six
years old—the aroma of which was
enough to tempt Sam Jones to taste it.
The Scotch and Irish whiskies, Santa
Cruz and Jamaica rum, are also of the
best bands. Among the famous
brands of whiskies kept at the Ex
change Bar are Oakland Bye, Silver
Wedding, Mill Creek Cabinet and
others. The latter brand is a specialty
at the Exchange Bar and will
be sold by the bottle only, and
at $1.00 per quart bottle. The
celebrated Budweiser beer Is an
other specialty of the Exchange.
No other saloon in the city keeps this
brand. McKenna & Smaw dispense
it cool from the keg or in bottles, as
preferred.
They have adopted the cash system,
from which they will not depart.
They have also adopted the rule of
two drinks for 25 cents—the old and
popular price being 30 cents, or 15
cents each. At night the Exchange is
seen to best advantage, when the
large hall is illuminated with twenty-
two burners, from which bursts twen
ty-two jets of clear and beautiful gas,
which gives the saloon a magnificent
appearance. No other saloon in the
city uses gas. The proprietors, some
time ago, purchased a gas machine,
and have been usiDg this beautiful
light since that time.
Another feature of this establish
ment is tbelnnch counter, where savo
ry viands are daily served. The city
papers and the leading daily papers
are kept on file here for the benefit of
the patrons of the saloon.
All in all, the Exchange bar and
billiard saloon is beautiful and attract
ive, is stocked with the best and pur
est goods known to the trade, and is
presided over by two of the most ac
complished and accommodating men
to be found in this or any other city.
A certain grass widower in town
had to pay himself out of trouble yes
terday, and it was his nine-year-old
son that “worked the racket” on him.
Yonng America thought he discovered
that his father’s attentions to a certain
pretty young lady were altogether too
marked, and threatened to write to his
mamma about it. Pater familias un
dertook to reason with his boy and
finally resorted to ridicule to dissuade
him from carrying ont his threat, but
it was no go. Young America was
sharp enongb to see that he had struck
a good thing—something that he could
use to make the old man “come down,”
and be was determined to work it for
all It was worth. Finding that he
would have to buy the boy off, the
father, like any other prudent grass
widower would have done under like
circumstances, changed his tactics and
entered into negotiations which soon
resulted in a trade. A certain amount
of money was paid down, and other
consideration, were promised for the
near future. That boy has struck a
good thing, and evidently knows it. It
may cost his father the price of a pony
before the return of the absent wife
and mother.
If the young man in a neighboring
village who wants a situation as sales
man in a clothing or dry goods store,
and who neglected to sign his name to
either the letter or advertisement mail
ed to the Nsws and Advertiser will
let ns hear from him again he may see
his advertisement in print; otherwise
it will have to go the same way that
all snch things go. We don’t want to
discourage the yonng man, bat it oc
curs to us that if he were as competent
a business man as he claims in his ad
vertisement to be, he would not have
omitted the important part of signing
his_ name to his letter.

It is said that a house can soon be
rid of cockroaches by mixing a little
Paris green with sugar and placing it
about the house in shallow, vessels.
The remedy is simple and worth try
ing. The roach nuisance is becoming
unbearable in this city, and common
cause should be made against the pest.
CONDITION OF MB. CHEVES.

tal Faculties.
Atlanta Journal.
As is well known, Mr. Geo. W.
Cheves, formerly editor of the Dawson
Journal, is cofined in the Atlanta jail
for the killing of a man named Picket
in Dawson several months ago. A few
weeks since Dr. Boring, after a proper
examination, stated that Mr. Cheves
was unquestionably insane. - -
We are glad to state, however—and
it will be pleasing intelligence to bis
friends—that Mr. Cheves is now re
stored and in full possession of his
mental faculties. There are manjr who
sympathize with him in the misfor
tunes which have overtaken him. He
is a representative of one of the best
Georgia families, and has always en
joyed the esteem of a large circle of
friends, who will rejoice at the news of
his improved condition. He is attend
ed during his confinement by his de
voted wife.
Folded Bands.
The News and Advertiser regrets
to learn of the death of little Willie,
infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Hanlon.
The wee boy was stricken some
time ago with scarlet fever. With
alternations of fear and hope, the
fond parents watched the struggle be
tween the little sufferer and his ene
my ; and every aid that human affec
tion could suggest or human skill de
vise was cast into the balance in favor
of the little one. But the disease
progressed and took on another and a
more violent phase. The tiny frame
wasted away, and the heart-beats
grew feeble and fluttering; and, so,
early on Tuesday morning, the baby
eyes were closed and the baby hands
were folded in the last, long sleep.
It is not so sad a thing for the little
ones, themselves, that they thus escape
the bitterness of earthly sorrow; but
parental love would not be human if it
did not feel bankrupt in the midst of
its bereavement. The sympathy which
we extend the sorrowing family is the
only tribute which humanity can pay
to humanity, amidst the ashes of its
dead. ^
A number of hales of cotton from
Terrell county found a market in Al
bany, yesterday. This is the place
bring them on.—Albany News and
Advertiser.
Not so fast, Mr. News and Adver
tiser. The cotton carried down to
Albany was only a little August excur
sion from a few of onr liberal farmers,
who want a drink of artesian water
and to show Dougherty some real fine
teams. Dawson is as good a market
for cotton as our people need or desire.
We are well supplied with good cotton
buyers and they are giving the top fig-
gure of the market. Our warehouse
men are pleasant, prompt, attentive
and np to their business. Our farmers
save the commission they would have
to pay Albany’s warehousemen by
bringing their cotton to Daw-son.—
Daicson Journal,
We should have snspected that the
parties who brought - their cotton here
from Terrell were liberal and progres
sive farmers, even in the absence of
testimony to that effect from our con
temporary. As there are a good many
more of the same sort in that good
old county we expect to get a good
deal more cotton from that source be
fore the end of the season. Of course
their fine stock will be admired and
the artesian water will be thrown in
gratis.
The following paragraph from the
Constitution showing the status of the
temperance question in the House will
be of interest:
“The temperance question will come
np in the Honse again in a few days.
It is probable that there wiil be a more
important fight than the one recently
bad over the local option bill. Mr.
Beagan, of Henry, introduced a bill
some days ago providing for an elec
tion in the State on prohibition. The
temperance committee is perfecting
the bill and it is very likely that it will
be favorably reported and its passage
urged by the temperance people. That
would make a square issue all over
tiie State. The local option bill has
uot been touched since it was sent to
the House by the Senate. It can be
called up at any time.”

The following Macon special to the
Atlanta Constitution will be of interest
to the many friends of Dr. Price in this
neighborhood: “LastWednesday Dr.
J. B. Price, of this city, was superin
tending the ginning of some cotton at
his plsintation in Lee county. While
standing on a platform it gave way
and he fell to the floor beneath, frac
turing two ribs. This morning, he was
not improving, and his wife went to his
bedside. It is to be hoped that the
Doctor’s injuries. are not as serious as
supposed, and that he will soon be en-
"rely recovered.”
Mb. H. H. Nelms brought in a lot of
ten bales of cotton, last week, that av
eraged 591 pounds per bale. This is
the first cotton he has brought to mar
ket this season. He owed his factor
just $14 to date. Mr. Nelms is a cat
tle raiser as well as cotton grower, and
realizes enough from his cattle sales
daring the year to pay all his -personal
and plantation expenses. His cotton
crop is all surplus and the proceeds
belong to him when the staple is sold.

A NEGRO SHARPER.
Arrested for Larceny from the
Person—.He Leads an Officer a
Lively Race.
On Friday of last week a negro named
Nelson Bryant came to the city with
Mr.W. B. Harris,ofWorth coanty, with
a load of cotton. The proceeds of one
bale of cotton were turned over to
Bryant, and he proceeded at once to
imbibe freely of the ardent. He man
aged to get too full for navigation be
fore time to start home, and when or
dered by Mr. Harris to hitch up the
team lie went off in the direction of
Wight, Davis & Co’s wagon yard in
compauy with another negro who
gave his name as Frank Biley.
Bryant failed to report at Lewis’s
store as directed, with the team, and
Mr. Harris went to look for him.
When Mr. Harris found Bryant he
was in a drunken sleep, and the other
negro, Frank Biley, was hitching the
mules to the wagon.
Biley represented to Mr. Harris that
he had been going about with Bryant
to ‘-‘take care of him.” and gave the
latter’s pocket book to Mr. Harris.
Mr. Harris found that the pocket
book contained much less money than
he thought Bryant ought to have had,
but supposed that he had spent it fool
ishly.
After they had proceeded two or
three miles on their way home Bryant
came to his senses, and realized that
he was short about twenty dollars. He
at once snspected his friend Biley, and
came back to town in search of him.
When he found Biley and mentioned
the subject of the missing money to
him Biley wa3 very indignant and
talked about cutting bis accuser with a
razor. But Bryant knew a thing or
tw-o, and called on officer Bennett to
take Riley in charge while he went to
swear out a warrant for him. Mr.
Bennett turned his prisoner and bis
razor over to officer Joe Cooper
to carry to jail, and before the jail was
reached Biley made a dash for liberty.
He ran up the alley south of the jail ipt
to the alley west of the coart honse
square, with Cooper close behind him.
At Barnes’s stable a negro man ran out
ahead of Bryant and caught him.
When Cooper got to him he struck him
with the closed razor in his hand. The
lick forced the blade through the handle
and cut Mr. Cooper’s fingers nearly to
the hone. Bryant was carried to jail, and
will be tried for larceny from the per
son.
Another Uninsured Gin Honse
Burned.
Mr. J. H. Brim, of Terrell county,
lost his gin honse by fire, on Thursday
night of last week. He had no insur
ance, and the loss, amounting to about
three thousand dollars, falls entirely to
himself.
This furnishes a text for a few sober
words upon the subject of insurance.
It would seem that the number of
losses that come uuder any man’s ob
servation would be sufficient, without
other suggestion or argument, to im
press upon him the importance of keep
ing not only his gin honse, bnt his
dwelling, barns, mill, store house or
whatever other building he may pos
sess, covered, either in whole or in
part, by a policy in .some good insur
ance company. But it is not so.
Rather than pay out a few dollars an
nually to insure themselves against los
by fire, there are many who will risk
their all. And by this sort of negli
gence on indifference many a man loses
all that he has or enough to throw him
in debt and cripple bis business, in a
single night.
Only last week Mr. Brim, who is one
of the most thrifty farmers in Terrell
county, was in the city, and Capt. E,
1.. Wight tried to talk him into insur
ing his gin house in one of the compa
nies which he represents. But Mr.
Brim thought the rate a little high,
and said he guessed he would carry the
risk himself. How soon he was over
taken by misfortune which insurance
companies are designed to repair!
How trifling the small amonnt
which he refused to pay out for insur
ance last week must now seem to him
in comparison with the great loss ofbis
gin house and its contents!
The ginning season has commenced,
and gin-house fires will now be fre-*
quent. The insurance of gin-houses
has proved to he such a risky business
that of seven insurance companies
which took such risk! in this State last
year, only two are taking them this
year. This state of facts carries its
own argument with it, and we will
only add in this connection that delays
are dangerous.
Abch Johnson, colored, who went
to “keep’n’ sto’ ” on the western su
burbs of the city last year, was arrested
on Tuesday afternoon for resisting an
officer. Constable Joe Cooper went
out with a Magistrate’s fl fa against
Arch, for a small debt that the
latter owed. The officer singled ont
a box of tobacco which he proceed
ed to levy upon, but Arch resisted
him and wouldn’t let him have
the tobacco. Cooper- was not in
fighting trim, having a crippled hand
from a scrimmage with a negro last
week, and had to come back to town
without the tobacco. He afterwards
swore out a warrant charging Arch
with resisting an officer, and bailiff
anes Greer went out and made the
arrest. Arch gave bond.
Mr. John Roberts in crossing tiie
wagon bridge over Kinchafoonee
creek, on Tuesday morning, saw a large
alligator lying on the sand bar below
the bridge. Both of them being un
armed, neither one felt disposed to
raise a row with the otiier.
