Joseph Ehrlich, Agt. WOMAN HER BEST FRIEND! OR. J. BRADFIELD’S FEMALE REGULATOR This famous remedy most happily meets the demand of the age 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 prqposes to so control the Menstrual Function *4 to regulate all the derangements aad irreg- ( ularltles of Woman’s MONTHLY SICKNESS. Us proprietors claim for it no other medical K erty; and to doubt the fact that this ined- does positively posses* such controlling and regulating powers is simply to discredit the voluntary testimony of thousands of .'iving witnesses who aro to-day exulting in their restoration to sould health and happiness.

THE REGULATOR is the GRANDEST REMEDY known, and richly deserves its name: Because it controls a clo9a 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 affletions which sorely embitter her life, and prema turely end her existence.

Sugar cane fattens children. Not so much shopping as usual on yesterday. Pu.ETifON, of old, was an improvi dent youth. The weather on yesterday indicated a heavy rainfall. ALBANThasnot had a real lively sensation in some time. Mr. C. W. Tift advertises a quanti ty of metalic shingles for sale. Hunting Coats, Jackets, Pants and Leggins, at Sheffield A Bell’s. “The light that lies in woman’s eyes”—Oh, there is nothiag like it. Cotton rolled in briskly yesterday, but the merchants complained of a dull day.. The dengue doesn't seem to take hold of tlie negroes like it docs the whites. There has beeu a very perceptible falling off in the cotton receipts during the last week. Georgia syrup is now on the mar ket—and it has a flavor which none other can rival. A town cow will eat cottou, provid ed she can get to pull it out of a bale on a farmer’s wagon. The cotton compress is runniug straight ahead, compressing about 400 bales per day. “Let ’er roll Assortments for sportsmen in endless variety, at Sheffield & Bell’s. Have you paid the fifty per cent o! your subscription to the academy fund, which has been called for, yet? Mr. James Jones, of Mitchell coun ty, was in the city, Tuesday, on Ills way to Macon with a car load ot beef cattle. Tits Barnes House has a new cook. By the way, the Barnes seems to be nourishing under the management of Mr. Crine. The Albany Cotton Compress is visited by large numbers of people every day. It is an interesting sight to see the machine at work. Stoves, Crockery, Hardware and Mouse-Furnishing Goods of all kinds, at (3nio) S. \V. Gunnison's. About three hundred city voters have registered to date. The time is drawing to a close, and those who want to vote will do well to attend to the matter of registering before it is too late. The Telegraph notes the fact that a very large percentage of the crowd ar riving in Macon to attend the State Fair is composed of negroes. It says that negroes constitute fully oue-half the crowd, so far. Mr. John W. Forrester, Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue, who has recently traveled all over Dooly county, says that he saw better crops in that county than he has seen any where this year. - = — ——— Ladies Fiue Button Boots, in French and Cur' Kid, Hand-sewed and Turned, at the City Shoe Store. g -tf The Chinese are certainly peculiar. Their ideas of images which convey thought aro not like ours. For in stance, instead of the gentle dove, the wild goosf. portrays to their fancy the image of a tender and faithful lover. We regret exceedingly to learn of the death of little Autossie, the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Bailey, of Camilla. We learn that this precious little girl was buried on last Sabbath afternoon. Our heartfelt sympathies are extended to the afflicted parents. There was a big delegation of Ter rell county farmers in the city yester day. There were also a few wagons in from Colquitt. These Colquitt and Terrell county formers always bring trade. They have something to sell, and generally convert a good portion of it into merchandise. Our business men are always glad to see them. In recognition of the courtesy of the Camilla Clarion we reproduce the fol lowing : “Mr. James Callaway and family left for their new home In Albany, on Thursday of last week. They carry with them the profounflest regards of our community, and the deepest love of their many friends. Camilla’s great loss is Albany’s great gain.” Those fragrant gentry, the guano dealers, usually take the first peep at cotton money; then the warehouse man; then the merchant; then the lawyer; then the doctor; then the preacher; then the wife and children; and if an}’ is left, then, sometimes, tlie newspaper gets a slice. The cold, crisp air of yesterday morning was so bracing that it gave a quick business-like air to the commer cial men. They seemed, in their move ments, to bid !id;eu fo the repose of ludiau summer, and tlie quiet of au tumnal days, and to grasp with glad ness the invigorating air of stirripg winter. The Rev. Mr. Waddell, pastor of the Presbyterian church, has been making quite an improvement on the parsonage, by running a passage from the dining room to the stove room and enclosing the same in lattice work. It is covered with tin, and the hall will be large enough to be used as a dining room in summer- _ The Dalton Citigen says that the Southern Express Company has de livered 1,300 kegs of whisky In that town since prohibition went Into effect. It would he interesting to know just how many kegs and jugs have gone out of Albany into the dry counties along the line of die B. A W. road dar ing the last year. This jug trade amounts to considerable with the liq uor dealers of this city, and those who get the benefit of it will fight prohibi tion stubbornly when die question is sprung here. Ladies, go to the City Shoe Store and look at the Ladies’ “Walking Fast.” 8-tf The “combat deepens”—at Col. Tift's artesian well. IIe who Is blessed with riches and honor, In a spiritual sense, Is a thy man Indeed. It is as easy to judge some people by what they don’t say as it is to Judge others by what they do say. The office generally fights hardest to get away from the man who fights hardest to get at die office. Misrepresentation will not avail in the city election, bat will recoil on those who resort to it. Why is Mr. C. C. Campbell like Josh Billings? Because be Is an orig inator and compressor. Major Sidney Herbert, of Atlanta, first suggested the organization of die Young Farmers* Club. The pipes are being laid for con necting the Barnes House with Capt. J. G. Stephens's artesian water works. Sweet potatoes, chickens, turkeys, eggs, turnips, and eatables, generally, bring a good price in the Albany mar ket. The fish trade in Albany on Satur days is immense. The country darky will spent his last cent for a string of mullet. - The Supreme Court has decided the bridge case against the County Com missioners, who carried the case up. Now, what next? )LtU Pa&er.-.m/JiS , THE LIBBART EM EH LUSHEST. Mr. M. P. Callaway advertises 1,500 bushels of rust-proof seed oats and 50 bushels of the celebrated Mc Cullough oats for sale. The Georgia* Synod of the Presby terian church met in LaGrange on Thursday. Of course the Interest cen ters in the Woodrow case. The quails are being slaughtered by the wholesale in this region. Large strings of them are brought Into the city by every train on the B. A W. and S., F. A W. roads. When the man ran against a post and was stunned, he asked, “What’s that?” “That is a conjunction,” answered a smart school boy, who was passing. Kkv. W. B. Dix left on Tuesday fora short visit to his old home. Union Springs, Alabama. Mr. Dix is a faith ful and industrious worker and we wish him a pleasant recreation. The Montezuma Record and the Hawkinsviile Dispatch are twitting one another on their respective cotton receipts. Come to Albany, gentle men, if you want to see the stuff roll right into market. The Hotels must be doiug well, for Gene Barnes's omnibuses come filled witli passengers from every train. Jim Kemp is so clever and so deserv ing tiiat It ia a pleasure to know he Is taking in the “fifth}’ lucre.” Dr. Alfriend went up the road on professional business Thursday, and while his driver was returning from the depot tlie horse took fright at “the small boy ami his velocipede,” and ran away, breaking the buggy, and hurting his own foot. The coupling of Bill Montgomery’s dray broke loose, while he wag on the way to the depot with a load of cotton, Wednesday afternoon, and the fore wheels and hind wheels parted com pany, letting the load down with a crash. Go in what ever direction you may, you will see new negro houses, and others being erected, on tlie outskirts of the city. All these negroes are not employed In the city, and just how they manage to live and pay house rent is a mystery, “How shall women dress?” This question is grave enough in importance to be discussed at length in so stately a journal as the North American Review. We dispose of it, however, by saying they dress here accordingly to the taste of the mantua-maker aud the di* mensious of the pocket hook. A reliable citizen of Lee county, said to a reporter of the News and Ad vertiser last week that Mr. V. A. Clegg has at least one hundred bales of cotton In the field, and that one of liis hundred acre patches has not had a lock of cotton gathered from It up to this time. Mr, Clegg’s entire crop will reach about 500 bales. The School House Commissioners advertise elsewhere in the New6 and Advertiser for sealed bids for the brick work, plastering and wood work on the school house that is to be. The plan and specifications can he seen at the office of Mr. L. E. Welch, who will give all desired information to those who want to bid for the work. The minister gave out the hymn and read in solemn tones the first stanza, thus; “Sin hu a thousand treacherous arts To practice on the mind With flattering looks she tempts onr hearts. Bat leaves a sting behind.” And when the choir struck It it ran like this— Sin howzathowza-na trezrnz-zontz Too-ah pwatz zon thzwa mwoin-n Witzfla-a- tring looksh-c-e-temzowr-r-arz-z. Bahleavzs-a ezing bah-in-n-d. Mr. J, S. Cross, superintendent on what Is known as the Warren A Smith Brinson place, five miles South of this city, died of hemorhagic malarial fever, after an illness of only a few hours, on the 22d Inst. Dr. Ba con, the attending physician, says it was as pronounced a case of the dread disease as he ever saw. The young man was np attending to his duties in the morning, and died at 11 o'clock at night. His remains were interred in the city cemetery yesterday. A strange negro, who Is supposed to have been crazy, made his appear ance on Col. H. A. Taver’s plantation, one night last week, and was found in an unoccupied house in the negro quarter, the next morning^dead. No one seemed to know anything about him, and the negroes on the place were reluctant to bury him. Mr. Will Tarver had to interest himself in the matter before any steps were taken to wards giving the unfortunate dead * burial. Hon. RpBT, Q. Mitchell and Capt. Thomas £. Blackshear, of Thoroas- ville, paid ns a pleasant visit on Tues day. Both gentlemen were in fine health, and were on their way to the State Fair. Colonel Mitchell, as is well known, is one of the ablest, and most popular men of pur section, and was a strong member of the Legisla? ture. Capt. Blackshear is noted for his business-like qualities, and for Ws great success in growing strawberries and LeConte Fears and fruits gen erally. The moat beautiful rainbow which ever spanned the heavens was seen by the denizens of Albany Wednesday afternoon, just before sunset. The eastern back-ground was dark, as if a flood of water was in the cloud, and above this, running from north to south, was the magnificent arch. In the west tlie sky was clear, and the declining sun filled the heavens with golden splendor. Tbq contrasts ti scenery was grand. The rainbow, as If conscious of admiration threw out In clear relief every color, rendering itself not only a thing of beauty, but an object of wonder and sublimity. Go to Sheffield & Bell’s and buy the boy one of those splendid Single- Barrel Breech-Loading Shot Guns. A Hoit Gratify ing Succct.*. The Libary entertainment on Thurs day night was all that It promised to be, and more than was really expect ed. Some liked one thing best and j some another. We have heard the performance highly complimented by our apprecia tive citizens. The News and Adver tiser certainly rejoices in this suc cessful effort, for it is anxious for the Library Association to be established npon a progressive basis. Life is often compared to a stream that flows onward; and these occasional enter tainments by our people, giving recre ation to the body, and pleasure to the mind, are the branching foliage and graceful flowers that adorn its banks. But to be more specific. The be ginning was auspicious, for the audi ence manifested pleasure at the rendi tion of “Carnival of Venice,” by Misses Bertha Hoftnayer and Eva Brown. ‘‘Three Little Toad Stools,” by Misses Daisy Hester, Maud Gilbert and Evelyn Alfrieml. was sweet in deed, and much enjoyed. “Alpine Maids.” a vocal duet, by Misses Nan nie aud Johnnie Davis, captured the audience and won much applause. Miss Lena Keudall, too, added greatly to the evening’s entertainment in her “Recitation.” The mirror tAs held up true to uature in “Courtship and Matrimony,” by Mr. R. L. Jones and Miss Wil*ie Oliver. Mr. D. W. Shaffer, also, did his part well and naturally. The “Waltz Song” by Miss Nella Cutliff was delightfully exquisite, and the “Singin’ Skewl” by B. L. Weston and class, was enjoyable indeed. Clarence’s Dream was well recited. Mr. J. D. Pope brought out the mean ing and did not merely play about on the stilts of declamatory lauguage. Miss Willie Oliver sustained her rep utation well in “Dreamy Eyes,” and many can say she “Haunts Me Still.” The sensibilities of the audience were highly wrought upon in the dramatic recitation of “Mary Stuart and Eliza beth.” The Misses Davis won raptu rous applause. Mrs. Geiger by request treated the audience to a charming rendi tion of tlie “Old Folks at Home.” Mrs. Geiger’s touch is most artistic, aud the instrument seems to sjieak in articulate language at her bidding. Those who know how to appreciate instrumental music! felt the pulses of joy deeply awakened as they listened to the “Old Folks at Home.” And how beautiful was the closing tableau! We cannot attempt a descrip tion of it. It was one of those sights one must see to appreciate. The handsomest line of Children’s Shoes, high cut scalloped tops, with heel or spring, at the 8-tf City Shoe Store. Headquarters for Stetson's Fine Hats at the City Shoe Store. 8-tf A DcIIcIoum Treat. Mrs. Welch’s good old colored man, Stark, walked into the News and Ad- veiiti.seu office Wednesday night with a big dish and a note. On tlie big dish was a hind-quarter of a slioat, nicely barbecued, deliciously seasoned, and hedged in witli numerous pones of corn bread. It was a dish fit for the gods! Who sent it? Let the note tell: To the Xews and Advertiser—From the ladies of St. Paul’s Guild, with thanks for many favors rendered, hoj>- ing, though coming late, it will he just as enjoyable. Many thanks, kind ladies. But we hope you did not feel like you were under obligation to the News and Ad vertiser for the interest manifested in your recent festival, nor for any thing else the paper has ever done. The News and Advertiser has done no more for St. Paul's Guild than it has done for every other church or charitable organization in the city whenever opportunity has offered. We deem it a privilege as well as a duty to aid the Christian women of the community in all their undertak ings for the benefit of their respective church organizations, for the support of their ministers, or in the cause of “sweet charity.” Still it Is pleasant to he remembered as we have been this time by the good ladies of St. Paul’s Guild. You can buy anything In the Snort ing Line, from a Dog Whistle to a Breech-Loading Hammerless Shot Gun, at Sheffield & Bell’6. Funeral of Little Klittie Gilbert. The funeral services of little Mittie Gilbert, whose death Is announced elsewhere In this paper, took place at the Baptist church on Sabbath afternoon at 3:30 o’clock # The sendees were appropriate, indeed. The remarks of the preacher, Mr. W. B. Dix, were very tender; and the hymns sung by the choir were so rendered as to deeply touch every heart. Beautiful floral offerings, fashioned by loving hands, bedecked the casket, which contained the re mains of the much loved little girl. Many friends repaired to the cemetery to pay those sad rites which the living owe to the dead. Little Mittie, as is well known, was tlie daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Gilbert. The family of the deceased have the warm est sympathy of the News and Ad- vetirser. Death in the family circle is always a blow, which leaves the heart bruised and lacerate^d, but the loss of a bright, sweet little^irl, five years of age—oh, how hard to bear! These affletive dispensations of Provi dence are mysterious to us—but what He does is right. We have Just received a splendid as sortment of Guns, Breech and Muzzle Loaders, Single and Double Barrel. Sheffield A Bell. The Work of a Hcnil. It Is painful to have to record such accidents as the oue that occurred to engineer A. W. Mitchell, at Stewart’s crossing, when the down train from Macon reached that point, on last Sat urday night. Some fiend had. placed a piece of iron rail about three feet long on the track for tlie evident purpose of wrecking the train. When the front wheel of the engine struck the Iron It flew up through the cab window and struck 3ir. Mitchell on the forehead, knocking him senseless. The fireman caught the engineer and stopped the train. Mr. Mitchell was carried to his home in Macon, and the Telegraph of yesterday states that he was alive on Supflay afternoon, but that there was ve?y little, if any, chance for his re covery, A new lot of those fine, large Rub ber Coats—prices greatly reduced—at d~3t-w«3t N. A A. F. Txrr A Co.’s. Mr. F. F. Putney, of Hardaway, was in the News and Advertiser office on Tuesday, and, in the coarse of conversation, made a remark that sur prised us, and is enough to put the people of this country to thinking. He said that there was not a white man living on the public road between his place and Albany, a distance of eight miles! This is an agricultural conn- try, too. Most of the laud, Mr. Put ney said, belongs to white people* but the large plantations have all been abandoned by their owners and rented out, or sold off in parcels to negroes. | It really begins to look like the best part of the white people of this imme diate region are abandoning agricul ture. It Is not a very hopeful sign. For the State Fair. Mr. Sam Salter shipped a car-load of horses, last week, to the State Fair. s ( Tbe?e horses were raised in Dougherty . county on Mr. Salter’s stock farm. married. Miss Nannie Kitchens, of this city, and Mr. Samuel Scrutcliins, of Lee county, were united in the holy bonds j of matrimony at the Baptist church I in this city on Sunday morning at 8:30 i o'clock, Rev. Mr. Dix officiating. The bride is a sister of our worthy fel- j low citizen, Mr. Ed. Kitchens. They Are Coming* The marriage bells are approaching Albany. About the 9th and 11th of November they will ring out so merri ly that all can hear them. And to some ears it will be such gentleness of touch, such symphony, such melody, such “concord of sweet sounds,” as never before broke the stillness of a love-elated atmosphere. All Have Care. Two merchants, conversing togeth er about the burdens of the times, and observing a flock of pigeons, one said to the other—“How happy those pig eons are! they have no bills and ac ceptances to provide for.” “Indeed,” said the other, “you are much mistak en, for they have their bills to provide for as well as we.” In Jail. Peter Solomon, of Lee county, was arrested in the city last Saturday,by of ficers Dunlavy and Cowan, at the in stance of Sheriff Salter, of Lee county, and incarcerated in the Dougherty county jail. He was arrested under a warrant for stabbing his wife more than a year ago. He made his escape at the time, but is now safe in jail. Had Do;*. A West Dougherty farmer informed a representative of the News and Ad vertiser that he killed four mad dogs on his plantation, last week. No one was bitten by any of them so far as is known. Some mad dogs were killed in the same vicinity not long ago. These were chasing some calves In a woods pasture at night. A Baker Coantjr Fax limit. On Thursday night of last week thirty Baker county men with sixty dogs had a fox hunt. In course of thehuntthey jumped a fox, w'hich gave them a fine race, from eight in the morning nntil six in the afternoon, when they lost him. The trail ran through Baker, Calhoun and part of Early, making a distance of 130 miles. Uncle Remus would have enjoyed this. Poctoffffice Inspectors. Inspectors Dosser and Hancock, inspectors in the Postoffice Depart ment. were In the city Tuesday look ing after Uncle Sam’s interests here. It is unnecessary to say that they found everything -all right in the Albany Postoffice under the manage ment of Capt. Y. G. Rust. Inspector Hancock is a brother of General W. S. Hancock. Death of at Little Girl* It Is with pain that we record this morning the death of Mittie, the five- year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Gilbert, of this city, which sad event occurred at half past six o’clock last Saturday. Mittie was a beau tiful and lovely little girl, the idol of her parents and a wide circle of friends. She was ill but a few hours, being seized with a chill at 11 o'clock Satur day morning and passiug away at the hour above stated. Orange Undo* Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, Iii her letter to the Atlanta Constitution, speaking of Emma Nevada’s bridal trouseau, says: “Flowers and chenille embroidery trim these creations In a marvelous manner, and the bridal dress is almost covered with orange blossoms, which will bring the future brides of the sea son baek to the conventional flower. There had been a decided neglect of the old-fashioned orange buds, and a tendency to prefer the daisy, tlie myr tle, and apple blossoms fqr bridal gar nishing.” Shot in the Hand. Marshall Merritt, an old colored man living on the Sims place, in East. Dougherty, came into town early Thursday morning in search of surgical aid. Marshall loaded his gun to shoota hawk, aud cocked it, preparato ry to putting an end to the predatory depradations of this enemy of his fowl- yard. The ramrod, however, protrud ed, and he placed tlie lingers of his left hand over the muzzle of the gun, giving the rod a jerk, forgetful that the gun was cocked. His fingers were badly shot. ’Hie wouuds were skill fully dressed by Dr. Hilsman. A Darkey on a Stroll* The Georgia mule occasionally gets on a “tare,” and rarities the atmos phere about him by the energetic ac tion of his terminal facilities. But he is no more eccentric than his compan ion, the Georgia negro. Early Thurs day morning about 3 o’clock a com motion was heard about the poultry house of Mr. Z T. Mayo. Upon inves tigation, a darkey was found there, with a tub under one arm and a duck under the other, jnst in the act of taking a morning stroll. Of course, no harm was meant. The negro was simply following the bent of his eccen tric nature. ——IHonest Talk Last Week A full supply of Sole Leather in Oak and Hemlock,'also French Calf Skins, aud Shoe Maker's Findings in general, at the City Shoe Stork. 8-tf Native Apples* A wagon loaded with apples halted on Broad street nearly in front of the News and Advertiser office, a few days ago. It was evident that they had been grown somewhere near Albany, although it Is a rare sight to see fall apples in this region. These looked about as well as the Northern and Western fruit that we see in the stores, and were of a beautiful red. Upon inquiry it was learned that they came from Worth county, where they were grown by Mr. Win. John son, and were readily sold at $1.25 per bushel. This shows that good foil apples can be grown in this region. Coal from the Leetbarf Artesian Well. Mr. John W. Forrester exhibited in the News and Advertiser office on Thursday afternoon specimens of hard coal that had been taken, only a few hours before, from the Leesburg artesian well. In appearance it differ ed very little from the ordinary hard bituminous coal, except that it Is per haps a little more glossy. It burned very readily when. put into the fire. Mr. Forrester said he did not know the exact depth at which these speci mens were found, bat that It was something beyond 100 feet. A gentle man from Florida Is boring the well, and is using what is known as the dry process. He struck a strata of this coal Thursday, and drew np pieces of It larger than hlckorynuts. Di:.n?t Suit Hi« Constitution. Two bnrly negroes—both great, big, fat, healthy-looking fellows, who could j eyidently stand anything—were heard j miking on the street yesterday. Both of them had been down to Brunswick and “tried it.” Said number one: “I been down dar to Brunswick, an’ some how or udder | I doan’ like de peepnl same’s I does ’ dese up heah in *A16eny. Dey doan’ | talk like our folks, day doau* ack like | our folks, an’ dey ain’t like de genny- wine culled pussons of Georgy | nohow.” Yon’s jes’ like me,” said number [ two. “I went down dar an’ tritd it too, and I didn’t like it er bit. De j niggers dey all talks like dey got mush on dey tongues an’ dem things what iley call barnacles in de roof of dey I mouths. Den, dat ain’t all; dat at- • mosphere down dar doan’ ’gree wid j my constitushun nohow.” TERRIBLY SC ABED. I scared you to?

The Cases That Went Up to the Supreme Coart from Dougherty —The County Commissioners Lose the Bridge Came* In the cases from Dougherty recent ly argued before the Supreme Court, the judgment of the Court below was. affirmed. This is quite a compliment to Judge Bower, the astute presiding officer of the Albany Circuit. The first case is Westbrook vs. Fudge. Practice in Supreme Court. Damages. It did not appear that the case was brought up for delay only. Affirmed. Jlayer A Glauber vs. Tufts. New trial. Practice in Supreme Court. Though the weight of evidence was against the plaintiff, yet there being some evidence to support the verdict, and the presiding Judge having re quired a portion of the verdict to be written off, and refused a new trial, the Court will not interfere with bis discretion in so doing. Affirmed. Savannah, Florida and Western Railway vs. Hofmayer. Negligence. Damages. Evidence. Presumptions. There was no error in refusing to charge that if the railroad company delivered the property iq the same ap parent good order as that in which it was received by that company, it would not be liable. Judgment af firmed. Crugeret. al. vs.Coleman A Newsom. Equity. Trusts. Debtor. Creditor. The life usee having died, the- money in hands of the receiever would finally go to the creditors, and a court of equity having jurisdiction will avoid circuity by ordering immediate pay ment to the creditors. Affirmed. The most important case, in which all the people of Dougherty are inter ested Is the Bridge Case. We give that in full. Dougherty County vs. Tift. Certio rari. from Dougherty. Estoppel.

Where, in 1852, one who owned land on both sides of a stream was a member of the Legis lature, and as such took part in ob taining a charter to build a bridge, and subsequently, became the exclu sive owner of the charter, and where he built a bridge across the stream in 1858, he was not estopped from deny ing that be built the bridge under the charter of 1852, and asserting that he built it under the act of 1850, confer ring the right on owners of land on both sides of streams to build bridges and charge tolls. Whether the bridge was built under the one law or the other, is a question of fact. If a person owning land on both sides of a stream bnilt a bridge across it for the use of the public, and charged tolls under the act of 1850, such x bridge was a public bridge: but whether It was a public or private bridge, If the county iu which it is situated proceeds to take the land of such property owner and to erect an- otter bridge, which causes damage to his property, he is entitled to just com pensation; and to ascertain this the cost of erection and the income deriv ed from the bridge, together with all the other facts and circumstances cal culated to enhance or diminish the property taken or damaged, may be looked to.

Chief Manly was on hand when the train came In and had very little trouble in spotting his man, who he at once locked up. This afternoon Sheriff Hewitt, of Car rollton, arrived with three warrants for Kilgore, one charging him with running his rent cotton off to Villa Bica and selling it aud leaving his landlord, a poor widow woman, with out lier rent. Another warrant charg ing him with cheating and swindling, and the third with selling mortgaged property. Kilgore will spend the night here in jail and be carried back early to-morrow to Carrollton by the Sheriff. India Rubber Overcoats* With a hoop-ta-do! a hoop-ta-do!

SCHOOL HOUSE NOTES. —The School Commissioners held a meeting and transacted a good deal of important business, on Saturday night. —The Commission was appointed by the City Council *‘with power to act.” In other words, the building of the school house was placed into the hands of the Commission, and the de tails of the*.work, the payment of bills, etc., will all be managed by the Com mission, iustead of passing Council. The CommissionLhfls, therefore, or ganized by electing Mr. L. E. Welch, Chairman; H. M. McIntosh, Secreta ry; T. M. Carter, .Treasurer; R. Hobbs and H. M. McIntosh, Auditing Committee. —A plan for the building was final ly agreed upon on Saturday night, and a drawing of the same, together with the specifications, can be seen by those interested by calling upon Mr. L. E. Welch. It is to be a two-story brick building, modern style, aud will be a very creditable structure. We will not undertake to describe it, for we couldn’t do it so that the reader coold get anything like a picture of It in his eye. —Several contractors are figuring on the specifications, and there will be lively competition for the work. By reference to an advertisement in another column, it will be seen that bids can be made for the brick work and wood work separately, or for both together, as may be preferred. This plan was adaptedjby the Commission ers so that they might separate ibe brick work and wood work, if desired, and take advantage of tlie best bid made for each. A MARRIAGE. Mr* Ed.

A second dose loosened her tongue and she com menced to jabber as If she had never felt better in her life, although she is reputed to be fifty years of age, and has seen all sorts of times.

Being a man of means, Mr. Rountree bi s traveled extensively and has tried many different mineral waters, but he finds none equal to ours. He has tried the celebrated Gelser water, and, while he says it is good water, it does not have the same soothing effect that the Albany water has. They have been at work on an artesian well in Quitman for several months, and Mr. Rountree says that If they don’t happen to strike a “lucky streak,” "like Albany did, thereby procuring water with some such mineral properties as ours, he thinks he will have to move to Albany . We don’t wish Quitman any bad luck, but we know Mr. Rountree well enough to want him for a citizen of Albany. Hats MBits!
