A Drive lute Lee County.
The sun had scarcely made his ap
pearance above the Eastern horizon on
Wednesday morning when Capt. R.
X. Westbrook called for me to join
him in a ride to l^ee county. 1 gladly
complied, and we were soon enjoying
the cool crisp morning air, behind a
good roadster. Our route carried us
through Palmyra, the deserted village,
once the home of some of our best peo
ple, but now abandoned mostly to ne
groes. Mr. P. W. Randall, wife and
mother, however, still reside here and
have one the most charming and love
ly homes in this section of the coun
try. Crossing the creek beyond this
lovely country home, we reach Fowl
Town, the famous Piny Woods cot
ton plantation of L. A. Jordan, which,
by the way, is a perfect model of a farm
in general appearance. There is much
cotton in the fields to our right ai d
left as we proceed. We approach an
other well appointed plantation. It is
that of Mr. G. W. Byne, his home,
which is adorned by a neat dwelling.
Here Mr. Byue also has a store from
which he derives a handsome revenue.
Beyond Byne’s store, as we proceed
and approach the Terrell couuty line,
the cotton Is better and the fields
whiter. We finally draw up at the
Long plantation, in the hands of ne
groes, where we transact our business,
dine, and start on our way homeward.
From the Loug place we drove di
rect to Leesburg, where we made a

influence of liquor got the advantage
of religion at times, and even the pub

the thief or liar must be on the otner

The velveteens are in great variety

the plainest aud most economical.
This stock of goods is elaborate, beau

of Albany’s oldest houses, and there is
none which boasts of a better record or
purer reputation.
An Interview With D. A* Pettis,
the OI4eat Inhabitant of Lee.
A reporter of the News and Adver
tiser met Mr. I*. A. Pettis, Monday,
the oldest inhabitant of Lee county.
Mr. Pettis was in the city to sell cot
ton, the cultivation of which he has
been giving his undivided attention in
Lee county for more than fifty years.
He is 73 year* of age, and in a casual
talk with the reporter, said: “In 1835
I first came to Albany. At that time
Col. Nelson Tift was engineering a
small hotel on the north side of Broad
street, near the river. Major Walker
was at the same rime selling liquor in
a bottom, on the same street, now filled
up.” Mr. Petris grew somewhat pa
thetic as he drew a comparison of Al
bany of that day and Albany now.
He rejoiced in its growth and prosper
ity, and the reporter acknowledges to
a touch of sympathy as the noble old
citizen told of the rimes that are past.
Phil Harris.
One of the most beautiful places of
resort in the whole city is the jewelry
store of Mr, Phil Harris, on Washing
ton street. Some time since he told the
public through the News and Adver
tiser of his beautiful and com
plete stock. Now, we call special at
tention to the artistic arrangement of
the store. Good taste, good judgement
and exquisite jewelry are all displayed
there. Indeed one feels proud that
such an establishment is in Albany.
We have an avaricious eye (though not
an envious one) and oh, we did see so
many things at Phil Want
ed. Enjqy fte atmosphere of Indian
Summer, and go to see this pretty
store.
Cut Hi* Foot.
Little Tommie Clayton, son of Mr.
T. H. Clayton, the popular Southern
Express Agent, happened to a serious
accident at Mrs. Collier’s school, on
Tuesday morning. It was one ot those
accidents that have happened to nearly
every full-fledged boy that ever lived.
While romping with the other boys,
bare-footed, he stepped on a piece of
glass—an old broken bottle, catring his
foot severely on the hotton} %qd Up
inside of fee iqsftfl. The cut was a
bad one, hut Tommie stood it well, and
will soon he romping with his play
mates again.
Broad street’s pet drove of geese
sometimes rise at Washington street
crossing and fly down to Jackson
street. Really, there is no barm in
these geese except for their flying pro
pensities. They sometimes frighten
horses, and the News anp Advertis
er has been asked by a lady whose
horses were frightened by them a few
days ago, to give them a blast. We
don’t .know who the owner of these
geese is; but they doubtless belong to
some good man or woman who will
keep them off the streets when he or
she finds that complaint Is being made
against them.
A Business 71 an’* View.
In conversation with one of the
most prosperous and influential busi
ness men of Camilla, a few days since,
the subject of Albauy as a cotton mar
ket was introduced. The advantages
of a cotton compress were suggested,
and everything else, which would
even seem to advance Albany In his
estimation as a cotton market. With
a look of repose, as if contemplating
the future with complacency, he re
plied to onr remarks by saying, “Oh,
I have no fears now since the Commis
sion, as it is, is sustained. I feared for
Camilla before. I saw the advantage
Albany would get as a competitive
point under the change. Hence I
wanted no change. You may enjoy a
temporary boom iu Albany for certain
reasons, hut I fear no permanent inju
ry to our town. Our gain in the pres
ent law Is your loss, and we fought
man full}* to defeat you, and heartily
thanked the Dougherty representative
for rising above the interests of Al
bany, and working for the general
good of the Intermediate points.”

Change at Cange.
The gauge of the Central Railroad,
including all Its divisions, will be
changed in June next. A meeting of
the officers of the different divisions of
the road was held in Macon ou Tues
day, when it was decided that the
gauge should be changed from five
feet to the standard—four feet nine
inches. The change is necessary in
order that the road may carry through
freights without transfer. All the
leading roads of the country are adopt
ing the standard gauge.

Mr. Thomas Riecraft, of Worth coun
ty, who runs a small farm, lost his
mule in early spring. But he did not
give up. He imitated Joe Brown in
his young days. He put steers to his
plow, and the result was he made
twelve bales of cotton and one thous
and bushels of corn, a big potato crop
and a large pea crop. This was done
on a one-horse farm. We like to re

We had an idea of writing something
shout the glorious Indiau Summer.
But 1. W. Avery, of the Atlanta Capi-

*The Indian Summer is upon us—
that marvellous beauty of our Georgia
climate—season of sun and zephyr—
autumnal time of bracing repose—
gleaming close of the summer, softened
by the winter’s delicate shadow—mel
low period of ripe harvest—lovely pre
face of the coming cold *”
By the way, Prof. J. E. Willet, of
Mercer University, has a most beauti
ful lecture upon Indian Summer. Per
haps the Library Association could in

to await his arrival.
The sweet potato crop is unusually
good in this region the present season,
judging from the specimens that are
seen in market. • In fact, it may be
said that the provision and forage crop
generally, commonly called “side
crops” by the farmers, have done well
this season, The rust and caterpillars
together cut the cotton crop short of
what was expected, but the season was
propitious for grain and other provis
ion crops. _

KEY NOTES.
News and Advertiser:
There are several suggestions in your
paper of October 11th, that if thought
fully considered and acted upon
would become of vital importance to
the people of our entire section. I
refer to your brief but well expressed
ideas as to the feasibility of render
ing the Flint river navigable the year
round for steamers of good carrying
capacity. When the people of the
counties bordering upon the river can
be once brought to a clear comprehen
sion of this prospect and the advantages
to be derived from an unobstructed
water communication with the Chatta
hoochee and thence forward to New
Orleans, there will be no trouble in
securing the necessary aid for the
purpose indicated. To the Dougher
ty county farmers, and to the mer
chants, grocers and other business
men in Albany, it should at ouce be-
come an attainment of the utmost im
portance. Another outlet from Alba
ny by steamers on the Flint would low
er the rate of freights, it would cheap
en the price of groceries, tropical
fruits, etc., to not less than 33 per cent
below other competitive points. It
would give our merchants such mar
gins in trade that the farmers would
reap the benefit in better prices for his
cotton and other products, and the
same time obtaining his supplies at far
below any former outlays. Let this
splendid project be once put into prac
tical operation and Albany would be
come the attractive center and metrop
olis for the trade of all the adjacent
country, and the long seasons of dull
ness and financial depression would
vanish never to return.
Intelligent, wellinformed agents
should be sent to Washington to con
fer with the committee on internal im
provements by representing the real
facts in the case, the entire practica
bility of removing all obstructions in
the Flint river from Albany to the
Chattahoochee. Not this alone, hut
to secure a perpetual channel, afford
ing water amply sufficient to float
steamers of sneh burden as to bearout,
if necessary, from three to five thous
and bales of compressed cotton and
other farm products. On their return
trips they coaid come home laden with
such commerce as would supply all
intermediate points as far np as Abany.
Surely the doubting Thomases will not
continue to decry these as Utopian fan
cies or as journalistic vaporing*. No
they are plain, feasible, practical, and
should aronse all of the enterprising
spirit there is in Albany to grasp the
appliances and through such instru
mentality stop this everlasting whin
ing about our trade, tight times and
continued depressions. We can, if we
will to do it, convince our friends in
New Orleans that they can, . through
navigation of the Flint, command a
trade from this section of which they
have never dreamed, aud at the same
time enrich, beautify and extend our
own borders. S.

Died,
Mrs. Cordelia H. Mayo, the wife of
Mr. D. L. Mayo, of Mitchell county,
at the residence of her mother, Mrs.
M. J. Towns, in this city, Sunday
morning at one o'clock—aged 23
years.
This death is one which touches the
tenderest chords ofjthe heart. It seems
but such a short while ago that Mrs.
Mayo was full of life and beauty, hap
py in her genial country home, sur
rounded with her husband and child
ren. Now the envious grave has taken
her away from us. But she has met
before now the Risen Saviour, who was
already standing at the ‘'garden gate”
of the Celestial City, ready to welcome
her home.
The remains of Mrs. Mayo were in
terred iu the Albany cemetery Snuday
afternoon at 4 o’clock. The funeral
services were conducted at the honse
and the grave by Bev. I. W. Waddell,
assisted by Rev. G. W. Matthews,
where a large concourse of friends re
paired to perform the last, sad rites of
interment.
Mrs. Mayo was a member of the
Presbyterian Church. She was of
bouyant, happy temperament, aud
made friends everywhere. She leaves
behind her a bereaved husband and
three little children. And however kind
the relatives and friends may be, yet the
loss of a mother to these little ones is
beyond all expression. At the same
time, weJHire taught that the wind is
tempered to the shorn Iamb, and that
there is One who hears even the “lit
tle ravens when they cry.” And how
the heart veils itself in sadness at the
thought of the deep sorrow which
bows down the heart of the mother and
grandmother, who, but last spring,
had to surrender, too, her noble son,
just stepping upon the threshold of
life. Well for the afflicted heart is it,
when it can bow submissively, aud say
“not my will, but Thine be done.”

The Bowen Association held its
thirty-second session, convening with
Mt. Zion church, four miles east of Ca
milla, on Friday before the 2d Sabbath
lust. The delegation was large and
full. Rev. G. W. Taylor, by appoint
ment, preached the introductory ser
mon. After a recess and refreshments,
the session re-assembled in the house.
The meeting was called to order by
the Moderator, Rev. Joshua Martin.
Names of delegates were enrolled,
when a pennanent organization took
place, resulting in the election of Rev.
W. H. Hoggard Moderator, and Rev.
Mr. Odom re-elected Clerk. The busi

with the Xotchaway church, Baker
county, at its regular time. Several
visiting ministers were present—among
them Rev. Dr. Irwin, representing
Foreign Mission and the Christian
Index, ami, as usuil, did his part well.

FROM S1IE0L TO BREAKFAST.
An Incident of tbe Late War B
fated by tbe Valdosta Times.
Doles’s brigade left the battlefield
at Chancellorevillelateintbe afternoon
on May the 6th, 1863, in a drenching
rain. About dark the corduroy or pole
road was reached, and it was found to
be in a wretched condition. The poles
bad been broken and torn up so that
every few steps one wonld bog np to
his knees, and sometimes even to the
hips. Frequently a soldier would liave
to be helped outby his comrades, being
utterly unable to extricate himself. It
was not long before tbe brigade was
completely disbanded. The men coaid
be found in squads of from two to a
dozen tramping along the best they
could. Some eight or ten ot the
Twe!fth Georgia Regiment kept pretty
well together, and found near Hamil
ton’s crossing “Mr. Gordon’s pot and
spider wagons” which the cooking de
tail bad evidently jnst left. The fires
were still burning, and tbe cooking
utensils with some provisions were
promiscuously scattered all around.
The men at once set to work to prepare
something to eat. Having captured a
good supply of coffee on the battlefield,
a camp kettle full of that excellent
beverage was very soon ready for the
stragglers. Jnst about this time a
party of horsemen rode up, but on fee
opposite side of a high sedge fence and
hailed. The men at the fire, thinking
they were accosted by the band of
straggling cavalrymen, did not reply
in language most polite. The follow
ing is only a sample of the dialogue
that ensued; “What arc you doing
over there?” “None of your d—d
business.” “What brigade do you be
long to?” “Doles’*.” “Where is
Doles’* brigade?” “Scattered from
h—1 to breakfast,” besides a great deal
more that is now forgotten. The party
on horseback not getting any informa-
tion ? rode off, and soon finding open
ing in tlie sedge fence, crossed over
and rode up to the fire, when it was
discovered that the straggling cavalry-
were Gen. Doles and bis staff,

“Passing sway! passing awayT’
Things we must cherish fall first to decay;
Smiles that are sweetest the soonest hare
flown,
Aud friends that are dearest the earliest goue.
“Passing away—passing away!"
We bare lingered here but a fleeting day;
Tlie faces we met were the new and strange.
And we sighed as we looked on so dear a
change.
But “passing away—passing away"—
Time has sped for that first wearisome day.
And well have we learned with a ready part,
To rivet new ties room! the yielding heart.
We hare learned to lore the now and strange.
Till we fear to think of the coming change.
And weep as we dream of the saddening day.
When these new-fonnd friends will hare
passed away.
Will hare passed away! will bare passed
away!
Is there, then, no lore that will last for aye?
Are there no friends who will ne’er estrange?
Xo hearts to be true ’mid the wreck of change?
Xay, nay, doubt not, 'tis a changeless thing.
To doubt the faith of the hearts where we
cling;
And we fain would trnst, though all others
decay.
The love of these friends will pass never away.
Though life mar pass on, and we meet no more.
Till its dreams are gone, and ita strivings o’er;
Wc will oft look back through memory’s hall.
And these eyes and these voices again recall.
And, oh! may it be in the final hoar.
They may come yet again with a holy power;
And draw ns on with yet stronger love
To join in eternal bonds above.
But, oh! shall we meet—shall we all meet
there?
Twere bliss to outweigh all worldly care.
And well might we joy, though onr mortal day
In tbis cold, cold world pass so swiftly away.
Oh, friends, dear friends, it Is vain to tell
How these fears and hopes in my spirit dwell!
Shall we all mect.there? Shall* we all meet

’Tis my dearest hope and my constant prayer.
OLD-TI91E GEORGIA HISTORY—
A MISTAKE.
News and Advertiser:
I see in your Issue of the lfith Inst,
this article taken from the Atlauta
Constitution:
"Yesterday tlie State of Georgia filed a suit
that brings up a little old-tiine Georgia histo
ry. The State of Georgia once bossed a lottery,
and tbe trustees were Henry L. Wilson, A. M.
Wallace and J: D. Waddell. These trustees
bought a tract of land, in tbe eastern part of
the city, with a part of tbe earnings ot tbe
lottery. They claimed the money as theirs,
ami the State claimed it as hers, when she
abolished the lottery and proposed to take its
property."
This is given as a “little ohl-tlme
Georgia history.” History, Mr.
Editor, ought to he true, not in part,
but every assertion should glisten with
the truth. The only strictly true
assertion in tbe above article, that I
see, is that the State of Georgia claims
this property and has entered suit for
it. The Queen of England might
claim it, and enter suit for it, and she
has as good a title to it as tlie State of
Georgia. The State never “bossed”
the lottery, it existed by legislative
enactment. The gentlemen named
were not tbe trustees, but managers,
save* the last named and he was the
legal adviser. The trustees were the
widows of prominent masons, and so
were fee teachers in the school which
was supported by tlie earnings of the
lottery. The tract of land was bought,
not with the earning^ of the lottery,
hut with tbe money of fee so-called
trustees, one-third of which was drawn
from one of tbe banks of Atlanta, and
was a part of the money received from
tbe Rome Railroad for an injury sus
tained on that railroad. If it was true
that the land was pnrebased with the
earnings of the lottery, It rightful
ly belonged to the managers, for they
were to be paid out of the earnings,
and when it was abolished by the State
the lottery was due these managers
four times the purchase price of ftis
tract of land. What right the State
has to it is indeed a mystery. V.
