my remarks. But I certainly did not
mean to charge all newspapers with
lying when it comes to politics, in the
sense that my words Imply as report
ed. It is the newspaper cm respon
dents that do the big lying, and, of
coarse, 1 do not bold the newspaper
responsible for the lies of its corres
pondents.
What I meant, and wished to saj
was that no one could get at the true
status of either political party from po
litical newspapers, f »r both tides
churned more than they were entitled
to, basing their claims, of course, on
reports from their correspondents, and
that the Constitution was generally
nearer correct in its speculations as to
what would be the results than the Tel

at least, though not as to mud sling

such charges. W. O. Watson.

The little fellow was playing in die

was doing something about the grind
stone, and in some way he turned the
stone—frame and all-over, and it
caught one of bis legs, breaking both
bones just above the ankle. Mr.

store on Broad street to the building
formerly occupied by Lamar, Rankin

noon, Monday. The removal, as has
already been announced in the News

and is doe to the work of enlarging and
refitting the Broad street store. Mr.
Jacob Lorch arose at half past 3 o’clock
Monday morning, and by daylight
he had all his clerks and a large force
of extra hands well organized and at
work. When Mr. Mayer arrived at
half past 6 o’clock, he found, very
much to his surprise, the first floor of
the store nearly empty. The work
continued without interruption, and
before noon the big job, which had
been so much dreaded, and which
many predicted would consume three

The Cadmean Club had a very
pleasant meeting on Wednesday even
ing at the residence of Mis. Louisa
Warren. Goethe was the author of
the evening, and Hr. A. Sterne read
an essay full of valuable instruction,
and most excellent in style, and
th JUgh necessarily limited to short
time, imparted a dear understanding
of tiie height of sentiment and depth
of meaning in Goethe’s principal
aud build a free bridge across the
river about a mile and a half below the
city-
The idea of the Commissioners is
run a public road from what is known
as the river road on the West side
of the river to the public road on the
east side of the river and bu id a sub
stantial bridge for the free‘use of the
oounty, With this object in view they
have purchased therigbtof way forthe
road on the West side of the river from
Hr. C. H. Hayo, who owns the land.
Capt. R. Hobbs owns the land between
the river aud the public road on the
East side of the river,and has generous
ly agreed to give the county a right of
way through It.
The trade with Hr. Hayo was closed
on Friday, and the money—$300—was
paid over to him by the county Treas
urer.
The new road and bridge will be
about a mile and a half South of the
city, and will run between Col. Tift’
land line and the Drinkwater place.
It is evident that the County Com
missioners intend to have a free bridge.
They met and transacted their business
with Hr. Hayo aud Capt Hobbs very
quietly on Friday, and the News axb
Asvkktisek did not get hold or it until
Saturday afternoon.
“DRESS REHEARSAL.”
A Pleasant Success.
The audience of about one hundred
and tweuty-five who assembled in
Willingham’s Hail on Monday night
to enjoy the presentation of one of the
most attractive entertainments ever
given by amateurs, with one accord,
pronounced it a brilliant success.
The overture by Hr. and Mrs. Reig-
ger, was one of the most enjoyable
features of the evening, and was hon
estly encored by the delighted audi
ence which evinced a discriminating
and cultivated taste in the full appre
ciation of their sweet music. The
tableau, the “Gambler’s warning,
with the glamour of weird red lights,
heightened by scenic effect was beau
tiful to behold, but its silent, impres
sive lesson subdued the enthusiasm
of delight at the picture into a hushed
recognition of the warning, but when
the enrtain folded the scene from
view the applause was long and loud,
The recitation of Hiss Belie Willing
ham was a most pleasing rendition of a
very touching story, and the audience
manifested its lively interest by the
close and highly complimentary at
tention given, and by the enthusiastic
applause amid which she grace.uliy
made her exit from the stage.
Hiss Aurora Brooks, greatly to the
regret of her many friends and admir
ers, was compelled to disappoint the
expectant audience, as her hoarseness
precluded the possibility of her sing
ing.
The curtain slowly rose upon “The
Dress Rehearsal,” which from the
first vision of beauty presented by the
stage, captnred the. sympathies of the
audienci aud held its unabated interest
to the end. The operetta was as full
of Ianghabie hits as any of Gilbert &
Sullivan’s, and the spirit of fun and
frolic that breathed through it all,
made it a most delightful entertain
ment. There lias neter been any
amateur performance in Albany in
which every part was more beautifully
sustained, and each young lady of the
cast can congratulate herself on the
success of her part which eutities all
to the universal praise accorded them
by every one who was so fortunate as
to eujoy the opportunity ot seeing
The Dress Rehearsal.”
Albany is fortunate in having talent
of such superior worth, and it can
never be used to a more pleasing pur
pose than in contributing to the de
light of her appreciative citizens. Mon
day night June 7th, will long be re
membered as “a blight isle in the
river of Time.”
J. VV. Joiner, Jeweler.
The readers of the Nkws isd Ad-
vektiseb will not fail to notice the at
tractive new advertisement of Hr. -J.
W. Joiner, the jeweler, in this issue.
Hr. Joiner is conceded to be one of the
best jewelers in the State, and enjoys
an extensive patronage. His work
always gives satisfaction, and he keeps
constantly on hand a well selected
stock of silverware, etc. Hr. Joiner
does his own work, and guards well his
reputation.
Change of Gange Effected.
The managements of the various
railroads of Georgia are to be congrat
ulated on the speedy and successful
change in the gauge of their tracks ef
fected with so little, interruption and
inconvenience to the travelling public.
It must be especially gratifying that
no accident worthy of note has result
ed from it. It speaks volumes for the
wisdom of the projectorsof such a suc
cessful plan and for the skill with
which it-was executed.
Mr. J. L. Acre, of Lee county, exhi
bited in the News and Adveetiseb
office hut Saturday, the finest oat’s we
have seen this season. Indeed, they
were the tallest oats we have ever
seen. They lacked only a quarter ot
an inch of being six feet high.
Iy appreciated by the club.
Hiss Aurora Brooks delighted all
present with two beautiful songs that
gave full scope to the flexibility of her
wonderfully sweet voice.
Each one present handed in a list of
ten of his or her favorite poems.
Bryant’s Thonatopsb was first and
Gray’s Elegy next in popularity.
Besides furnishing delightful social
enjoyment, this dub affords an oppor
tunity for tiie acquisition of knowl
edge, and a due appreciation is shown
of its advantages.
The next meeting takes place at the
residence of Mr. J. S. Davis, Mon
day evening, June 21st.
Last Saturday City Marshal West

deuce obtained. The shut of the cal bad stolen Mrs. Alfriend’s gold
watch and chain. The property was
returned to its owner, aud the boy was
carried to jail.
Mr. W. O. Watson, whose remarks
upon the accomplishments of news
papers generally, aud of the Macon
Telegraph and Atlanta Constitution
pecially, as campaign liars, were pub
lished in last week’s News and Ad-
vebtisee, rises to a personal explana
tion this morning, and says that he did
not mean to say that all newspapers
were liare. That’s all right. All the
papers except the two-whose names
were mentioned can now take it for
granted that Mr. Watson’s-remarks
were not intended for them, while the
News and Advertiser, as a faithful
chronicler of events, win stand ready
to declare the result between the “Great
and Good” and the “Champion FIop-
per” at the close of the campaign.
Several couples of young ladies
and gentlemen of the city united in a
pleasant party of picnickers at ro
mantic and classic Palmyra on Tues
day. There is no more suitable spot
on earth in which to indulge picnic
pleasures. Mr. C. W. Randall al
ways extends a hearty welcome to snch
visitors, and his good lady throws
open her hospitable boose and does all
she can to enhance the pleasure and
minister to the comforts of the party.
The party of snapper fishermen,
headed by Dr. W. E. Hilsman, re

Seics and Advertiser:
I would like to have a copv of your
paper as I am thinkiug of coming to
your country and thought it would
me information about the
country. Please send me one and
oblige, Columbus DeLong.
The above is a sample of letters oc
casionally received at the office of the
Nebs and Advertiser. A copy of
the paper has been forwarded to the
above address, and it may be the means
ol securing at least one immigrant from
the Northwest. But that is more un
certain than if the county or city
should have properly prepared adver
tising matter to forward in connection
with the paper.
The necessity for such printed ad
vertising matter has been frequently
urged In these columns, aud this pre
sents a favorable opportunity for again
calling the attention of our city-and
county authorities to its importance.
Nothing could claim their attention
more profitably, and it is an evidence
of remissuess not to put forth some
well directed effort In that direction.
The News and Advertiser places
proper estimate upon the influence that
advertising has had in the phenominal
development of Florida, and the al
most equally wonderful success of
Thomas county, in that direction.
Tested by every claim of merit,
Dougherty county—in its resources, in
the fertility of its soil, and in the great
diversity of its marketable products,
has more attractions than Thomas, or
perhaps any other county in this sec
tion, and is designed to be the garden
spot of earth under an intelligent oc
cupation of industrious men. There
is no limit to the possible development
of oar section under the full use of all
our advantages. Irrigation;^ easy and
practical; the most perfect drainage
ever known is butaquestion of alittle
trouble and small expense. Our cli
mate is the perfection of all in the
temperate zone. In fact, nature has
been lavish in the bestowing of advan
tages, and we ought to send a message
bearing the warmth of our balmy
clime to the snow-bound of more
northern regions.

A SEA-SICK CROWD.
Trie News and Advertiser
Will pardon the writer for rising to
an explanation point, on the ups and
downs of snapper fishing off the coral
reefs on the Georgia coast.
As your readers know I interested
myself last week in getting up a party
to go fishing. Well, last Sunday
morning found a baker’s dozen of the
Albany salt water amateurs aboard the
fast mail, for Brunswick, where they
arrived safely on Sabbath afternoon.
The remainder of the day was spent in
listening to the music of the bells, and
viewing the samples of the nationali
ties of the world aboard the fleet of
barks and brigs lying at the docks
awaiting cargoes of lumber and naval
stores. Sunday night found our com
pany together, with half a dozen salts
from Brunswick, on board the steam
tug $nca,ber prow poia etl seaward.
We 8at on deck, enjoying the glories of
the magnificent bay, until we passed
St. Simon’s light, when, acting under
the skipper’s orders, we turned In, to
brace our nerves and sinews for the
morrow’s contest with the royal snap
pers of the deep. Cur company was
well supplied with tongue. Some
spoke of the glorious ocean, and lapsed
into rhapsodies about Morpheus kiss
ing old Neptune’s crest; others again,
the Fudge of the crowd, longed to see
the day star arise out of ocean’s em
braces. And so the night waned, until
the rash of the new-born day pressed
hack the murky, heavy clouds of night,
and then it was when we got on deck.
We saw naught save water to the right
of ns, blinding spray right in front of
us, and water, rolling water every
where. Lewis, from boisterous mirth,
had grown into a state of sombre mel
ancholy. Standing by the Uffrail he
looked the picture of despair; his
onder jaw dropped, his knees weaken
ed, and he sought the deck; and with
a sadden gulp and Waugh! cast his
libations into the sea. And Fudge,
the talkative, where was he? “Ugh!
! Oh Lardy! Help!—awaugh!’
1 could see no more. I looked at tiie
sky above me, at the seething waters
around me—a larch—the wisdom
of pharmacy failed to give relief to
my retching stomach. Wretched as I
felt I could not help smiling at the ex
clamations and grotesque contortions
of Will Walker and others with which
they divided the slowly, passing hours.
Poor Fudge; his eyes in fine phrenzj,
rolling,erffed oat In agony: “Sherry,
—there’s something coming up. I feel
it in my throat. Oh, augh!” He was
comforted by an old salt who told him,
in the graphic language of the sea:
to hold on; when that lump got out
he would be all right. -A few of tiie
boys escaped paying tribute to Nep
tune, and when not watching . the
Hqaid brine streaming out of our
mouths, our eyes and noses, we saw
them pall the snappers in.
The sunset at even found us skim
ming the smooth waters of Oglethorpe
bay, and although some still hugged
the deck at full length, all managed to
ret aboard the train, which, in time,
anded os at home, wiser, and I hope,
better boys.
We will not soon forget how pleas
ant it is to be “rocked in the cradle of
the deep”, and amid It all the good
will and gentle courtesies of the Bruns
wick boys, which we hope, some day
In the near -future, to reciprocate.
Until then I will try to he the same

HATED FOR LIFE.
marriage of miss Erie S. Hilsman
toBIr.Y.C. Bust.
Ever since the primitive days of
Adam and Eve there has been love in
the world, and human interest in the
holy ordinance of marriage, instituted
by God in the beautiful Garden of
Eden, has increased, rather than
waned, during the thousands of years
that have intervened since the first
man aud woman looked upon each
other and set the example which made
love and marriage honorable.
Hymen’s altar was erected at the
residence of Dr. P. L. Hilsman, in this
city, on Tuesday morning, and at 10
o’clock, In tiie presence of tUe
family connections and a few in
vited friends of the high contracting
parties, Miss Evie S. Hilsman was
united in marriage to Mr. Y. C. Rust,
the Rev. G. W. Mathews officiating.
The parlor was most appropriately
and tastily decorated for the occasion,
and promptly at 10 o’clock the bridal
couple, preceded by their attendants,
entered. The attendants were: Miss
Nettie Jackson with Mf. J. R. deGraf-
fenried; Miss Janie Warren with Mr.
Lee Jones; .Miss May Cutliff with Mr.
E. R. Jones; Miss Ella Hay with Mr.
S. J. Vason; Miss Jennie Towns with
Mr. N. J. Cruger; Miss Alice Hay

bride and each of the lady attendants
held a boquet of daisies and ferns in
the left hand. The bridal dress’was a
beautifully embroidered white cash-
mere, trimmed in rich and handsome
lace. The ladies In waiting were all
attired in white.
The ceremony which made Mr."Y. C.
Rost and Miss Evie S. Hilsman man
and wife was taken from the Episcopal
form, and the typical wedding ring
used. The marriage scene was a beauti
ful one, :.nd the ceremony appropriate
ly impressive.
The bride Is the youngest sister of
Dr. P. L.-and Messrs. Wi E. and J. R.
Hilsman, of this’ city, and a general
favorite In society. The groom is the
youngest son of Captain Y. G. Rust,

ulations of their relatives and friends,

casion, and the tables were laden with
viands rich and rare.

ous, and many of them very handsome
