“Many a child goes astray, not because

Carved with the Bar-Keeper)*
Xemou Knife*
There was a fracas in the Exchange
Saloon, between the barkeeper, Mr.
Wm* Hare, and an engineer on the S.,
I*. A W. R’y by the name of Gaffney,
at about T2 o’clock on Wednesday
night* Gaffney was.under the in
fluence of liquor, and called for more,
and when Hare refused to give it to
him he got mad and commenced to call
bard names. Finally he applied an
epithet; to Hare which the latter
could not bear, and the insult was re
sented with tiie bar-keeper’s lemou
knife. Policemen Cooper and Kemp
carried Gaffney to the guard house,
where he remained all night, and
when they went to attend to him Thurs
day morning he was found in a pool
of blood and in a rather alarming con-
xlition from the loss of blood-. Dr.
Strotber was sent for* at once, and
bound bis wound and stopped tbe flow
of blood. .
Officers Cooper and Kemp say* they,
did not know the man was cut when
they locked him up on Wednesday
night. They saw no signs of it, and
he made no allusion to'it himself. -
Oliver, who, on Wednesday morning,
at 11 o’clock, was married to Mr. S. C.
Moore, of Macon, Ga., in the Albany
Baptist church.
Tiie bride was one of the most de
servedly popular of all the attractive
belles that ever adorned the society
of Albany. She had greatly endeared
berself, by tbe innumerable graces of
her mind and heart, to the Albany
people generally, and this was evi
denced by tbe immense crowd that
flocked to the church to - witness the
nuptials. The conntry for five miles
around the city was well represented
at tne marriage.
Tbe church was filled, long before
the hour for tbe marriage had arrived,
but the good humor never gave way to
impatience, as tbe audieuce was pleas
antly employed in admiring the
HANDSOME DECORXTIONS
of the church. Three arches of sym
metrical proportions, so nrrauged as to
form a most pleasing design constitu
ted tbe most conspicuous feature of the
elaborate and tasteful decorations,
while the chancel, windows and chan
delier were beautiful in their dress of
graceful, trailing-vines of tender green.
Tbe Baptistry was thrown open, but
veiled by the immaculate folds of lace
curtains, displaying a basket of lily
white flowers. Rare cut-llowers filled
the church with delicate perfume.
The whole scene was one of such be
witching beauty as to recall Milton’s
inimitable description of Eden, on the
bridal mom of tiie first wedded pair.
At 11 o’clock, sharp, tiie first note of
Mendelssohn’s weeding march hushed
the low hum of voices to the stilluess
of eager expectancy. The ushers,
Messrs. J. R. deGraffenrietl, Paul J.

speeches. If oue conies, of course the
other will come, and the result will
be a disturbing of the peaceful state of
feeling that now prevails in the coun

all edged slander, and bitterness is
strewn in the wake of the discussions

don’t ueed any political speaking in

of acting for themselves in this cam
paign. They read the papers and are
posted upon the Issues involved. Their
minds are made up, and no amount of
speaking by the candidates is going to
change these people in £heir opinions
or affect their * Dtes. As yet, we have
heard of no appointment to speak at
Albany by either one of the candidates,
and we are satisfied that a majority of
tbe best people of the county—friends
and snpporters of both candidates—
would prefer that neither of them come
here to speak atall. There are not

The city of Albany is peculiarly for
tunate in possessing, almost at her
very doors, this exhaustless, supply of
excellent water. It affords opportuni
ties tor facilitating the rapid growth of
her diversified vegetation and is a
special boon from heaven in the hands
of her refined and tasteful -women in
tbe congenial culture of their cherished
floral collections.
As the years roll on the city will,
slowly but steadily, extend its boun
daries, and its inviting homes be mul
tiplied. The necessity will become
imperative for more commodious hotel
accommodations, granderschool facili
ties for the more thorough education
of the studeuts. Tbe sequence will be

The “Junior*” at Play.
The dance and ice cream party given
by the Junior Dancing Club at Mrs.
Thornbury’s, on Thursday night, of
last week, was a great success,
aud the occasion was just as enjoyable
and pleasant as could be. Tbe club
feels under obligations to Mrs. Thorn-
bury for her kindness and hospitality.
There was a large turn-out of the
young people. Several members of
the German Club and a number of
visitors to the city were present and
added much to the pleasures of the
•evening.
Among the visiting young ladies
present were Miss Irene Jones and
Miss Lilia Yason, of Florida, and Miss
Annie B. Alexander, of Alapaha. The
music for the dance was furnished by
“Beefs African Italian Band,” al
ready well known to the public.
The heavy wind of the afternoon
previous, which made the melon men
bine, cooled the atmosphere, and made
the “Juniors” joyous.
The great success of thi» entertain

fttie opinion- prevails that luck, or
fortune, is a real, active entity rather
than a mere relative signification, im
plying activity guided by sonnd judg
ment. This idea is perhaps a trace of
the superstition that is inuate to man,
and found expression in the deification
of objects in the physical universe as
well as abstract ideas. Fortona,
the Goddess of Fortune, was in
voked by nations enjoying the Bo
man civilization, and was represent*
ed as being blindfolded, and hording a
wheel, the emblem of h*»r Inconstancy.
The common understanding that at
taches to luck is just about as errone
ous, and more ridiculous, if tested by
the Ii£ht of our Christian civilization.
There is but one way to be lucky-
work for it. There are laws govern
ing success that are as uniform and in
flexible as those of gravitation, and he
who would be successful must conform
to them.
The accident of birth and education
may effect position and material start
in life, but energy, economy and judg
ment can alone enable one to take ad
vantage of these fortnitious circum
stances, which represents the measure
of success attained by our progenitors.
Sobriety is one of the most important
of all conditions favorable to success,
and a young man entering upon tbe
stage of active life should learn that,
not from sad experience, but from ob
servation. If a man never sows his
wild oats he will never have to reap
that useless crop. A busy life is not
necessarily a successful one; how fre
quently do men waste tliefr energy iu
idle or useless activity. A well direct
ed blow U more effective than a dozen
licks at^ random. It is the steady
breeze that carries the sail vessel
smoothly over tiie opposing element,
bnt the sudden gusts of wind fre
quently upset It. It Is the uniform
respiration that sustains life in vigor.
So it Is that steady work, guided by
sound judgment, brings thfe best and
most satisfactory results.
Young men would do well to study
closely the laws that regulate
or insure failure, and avail themselves
of their benefit. Luck nevercomesby
chance, and however it may sometimes
seem, it is never enjoyed by one un
worthy, for it matters uot how repre
hensible a man’s life may be, if he
takes advantage of the laws of success
be will be successful, and he alone is
worthy of success who does.

Weddings*
Weddings sometime* prove contag
ious. It is certainly so in the case of
the President. Of course, there is not
another President to marry. But the
President was a noted old bachelor,
and other old b-ichelors are catching
the contagion. There is nothing like
putting the ball iu motion. Men take
courage from distinguished example.
It was only the other day that an old
bachelor overtook us as we were going
home to our frugal repast. The con
versation soon led into channels mat
rimonial. There was certainly a sen
timental humor about the old bachelor
veteran that interested ns at once.
You know the world does not lose its
interest in an old bachelor as it does in
an old maid. Custom Is a bad tyrant,
but custom has made this a rule—sense
less as it may be.
Reference was soon made to Piesi-
dent Cleveland and pretty Miss Fol
som. “It is true,” said tiie old bache
lor, “I am not rich, nor am I a Presi
dent, yet I have as warm a heart as
beats In tiie body of Grover Cleveland.
Then happiness is uot confined to the
palace. If I should find some pretty
maiden who would cleave unto me why
could not we be happy then—even
though my modest home is not the
White House nor Deer Park ?’’
Of course, words of encouragement
were expressed in the ear of the almost
persuaded prodigal. The power of
example is great, and all over the
Uuioti tiie weddiug bells will be chim
ing congratulations to President aud
Mrs. Cleveland.
When the President cast aside his
mugwump notions, and conclnded to
no longer live unto himself, he con
ferred a boon, not only upon the whole
party, but upon the whole matrimon
ial world, which took fresh hope right
away. Indeed, we expect good results
right here In Albauy. The President
has so magnified bis office that he r s
now* recognized by tiie world as a pub
lic benefactor.

BAKES NOTES.
The Gordon aud Anti-Gordon
meeting* at Newton ou Saturday
—Personal mention.
Newton, Ga., June 23rd, 188G.
Special correspondence of the News and Ad
vertise*.
—By ten o'clock Saturday last, 250 or
300 people bad gathered* iu Newton,
and squads of five to twenty-five could
be seen, busily discussing Bacon and
Gordon. At eleven o’clock the crowd
went info the court house, organized
the Gordon meeting, and nominated
Gordon delegates to be voted for on
Saturday, tiie 26th inst., after which
the meeting was adjourned, and
speeches were next In order. A com
mittee was appointed to invite Colonel
Jim Gaerry, of Dawson, to address the
crowd, to which he responded in a
short but eloquent talk. Hon. A. L.
Hawes, of Bainbridge, was called, and
took the stand amid deafeniug cheers.
Col. Hawes is a strong admirer of Gen.
Gordon, and his laudation of Gordon’s
war record aud even his record to the
present day brought tears from eyes
which seemed to have gone dry twenty
years ago. His discription of General
Gordon’s meeting with Mr. Tilden iu
New York, when he, (Gordon) weut
aud begged Tilden to take the oath of
office and inaugurate himself, was
filled with eloquence, and settled the
question of Gordon’s, so-called, “sale
ofMr. Tilden” with those who enter
tained any such belief. After dinner
the anti-Gordou men gathered Into the
court-house to nominate uninstructed
delegates, to be voted for on 26th inst.
Bacon and Gordon men were in both
meetings, and in the afternoon, great
ly to the annoyance of the anti-Gor-
donites, it was found that the Gordon
club was greatly in the majority and
could out vote the antis. V^hen the
motion to adjourn was voted on, it was
defeated, but the Bacon men left the
house and the meeting now stands un-
adjourued. Considerable feeliug was
caused by the terminus of the meeting
which has put several men into the
political field for Bacon. The Gordon
men are dtterinined to carry the coun
ty, aud to-day every district in Baker
will be canvassed by Gordon men.
—After all their work, what will
they gain if General Gordon is elected,
or what will they lose if Major Bacon
Is Governor? All will go on just the
—Mrs. W. W. Williams, of Newton,
and her sister, Mrs. Ruth Wilson, of
Tennessee, left for Savannah, Monday,
on a visit to their sister, Mrs. Glover.

daughter, Mary, have beeu visiting
bis old Baker friends this week.
—Col. Bush, of Camilla, and Mr.
Jesse Walters, of Albany, were in
Newton on yesterday on business.
A Good “Crap.”
“How’s yer crap?” asked one coun
try darkey of another when they met
in front of the News and Advertiser
office yesterday.
“O, I’s got a good crap d jsyear, I is.
I's got co'n fifteen feet high an’ cotton
wals’ high wid bolls on it; an hit’s all
clean, too.”
“How much dat sort er co’n you got
dat’s fifteen feet high ?”
“Well, I doan, know ezackly how
much de Is dat’l measure fifteen feet,
but dar’s thirty-five acres iu de fiel’,
an’ de po’est of it ’ll avridge higher’n
dat stalk what I seed dat gemman
Pom Mitchell county showiii’ an’
braggin so ’bout jes’ now.”
( Wbatyou manured it wid, juan-
ner?” *
“No; I didn’t buy a bit er juanner
dis year 'scep'n some er dis h.ere stuff
what you compostes wid. Some of my
lan’ is new groun’, and its in er new
groun’ bottom-like, whar I got dat
co’n what’s fifteen foot high. O, I’s
got it sho's you bo’n.”
“An' cotton wais’ high wid bolls on
it?”
“Yes, I’s got dat, too, jes’ like I tell
yer.”
Just then the darkey who had been
listening to this “good crap” talk, and
whose own crop was evidently not so
good, happened to look around and see
a merchant (probably tiie one who fur
nishes or “runs” tiie darkey with the
marvellously “good crop”) standing
near by. It was instantly evident that
the darkey whose crop was not so good
suspected that the other was talking
for the benefit of the merchant, and he
rebuked him thus:
“Well, you inus’ have better crops
dan entiybody else in de county got,
lease I ain’t seed none ylt what’ll come
up to what yon say yo’n is.- I’s heered
niggers ahd white folks too, come fo
town an’ tell mighty big tales ’bout de
craps when dey wants ter buy sutli’u
feat o ; er credit.”
And then lie qulefy walked on,

One Sunday, as a certain Scottish
minister was returning homeward,
he was accosted by an old woman,who
said, “Oh, sir, well do 1 like the day
when you preach!” The minister was
aware that lie was not very popu
lar, and he answered, “My goo I
woman, I am very glad to hear it. j
There are too few like you. And why |
do you like when I preach?” “Oh.
sir,” she replied, when you preach l
always get a g<*od seat.”

RELIEF
FORTY YEARS A SUFFERER FROM \
CATABKEX
Wonderful to Relate!
P OR FORTY YEARS J have been a victim
to CATARRH—three-fourths of the time
a sufferer from excruciating pains across my . :
forehead and my nostrils. The discharges
were so offensive that 1 hesitate to mention it,
except for the good it may do sonic other suf- .
ferer. I have spent a yotutg fortune from my
earnings during my forty years of suffering to
obtain relief from tbe doctors. I have tried
patent medicines—every one I could learn of .
—from the four corners of the earth, with no
relief. And at last i57 yeart of age) hare met
with a remedy that has cured roe entirely
made me a .new man. I weighed. J2S pounds
ami now weigh 14G. I used thirteenbottles
the medicine, and the only regret I have is
that being in the humble walks of life '
