lore ilii Public.
The Albany Academy, iW. G. J -
Orr, Jr., Principal, has just com
pleted a most successful scholastic
rear. Tl»e people of onr commuulty
united in a general effort, one year
ago, at the organization of the Albany
Academy, and after selecting Prof.
Orr as Principal, extemled lo him a
most generous encouragement throogfi
their liberal patronage, the attend
ance averaging over one hundred from
the very first month.
Professor Orr aud lib efficient
sistints have Iabired faithfully In the
interest of education in our midst, am!
the exercises of Thursday and Friday
tiigtts of last week have reflected the
creditable progress In elocution made
by tbelr pupils.
Exercises like these are a wise en
couragement of tlw aspirations oi
young mind-, and stimulate the nat
ural ambition of the Individual pu
pil*. They form a very essential pan
of education, and are a means of embel
lishment without detracting from the
fabric. Public interest always center*
m them, as was fta'ly attested by the
large numbers that assembled to enjoy
each occasion.
Notwithstanding the fact that, on
account of sickness in Mr. Orr’s fam-
llv and that of Miss Belle Bacon, his
second assistant, the exercises occurred
one week before tiie time first set for
them, the bright boys and smart girls
acquitted themselves very creditably,
dome of the speeches aud recitations
were rendered exceptionally well.
R. J. Bacon, Jr., deserves, especial
mention, Iu his grade, tor a most ad
mirable rendition of tiie laughable
“Smack in School.” HU acting was
inimitable, and when the tender age
of the little fellow is considered, it was
remarkable.
Wallace Bacon also gave an exhibi
tion of remarkable elocutionary pow
ers in the happy style with which he
declaimed “The Combat between
Roderic Dhu and James Fitz James.”

excellence, but want of space forbids,
aud we must content ourselves with
publishing the list of the meritorious
B|H*eches and recitations. Fine medals

Thai death loves a shining mark lias
been once more illustrated in I lie last
victim of the insatiate archer, in our
community.
Mrs. Eliza Carter, the dearly beloved
wife of our uigbly honored townsman,
T. M. Carter, was one of the most
esteemed of the many estimable ladies
that grace the homes and society of
Albany.
An announcement of her illness last
week was received by her friends with
regret, but 110 deep concern was mani
fested. as the atteudiug physician did
not regard her symptoms as at all
dangerous. She was taken with slight
congestion on Tuesday, but the disease
yielded readily to treatment, and on
Saturday afternoon she was so much
improved as to be able to .sit
up iu bed. On Saturday night,
aowever, she grew suddenly ami
alarmingly worse, aud the physi
cians of the city were hastily sum
inoned. to find her beyond the reach
of their skill, aud 011 the bright Sab
bath morning, at 20 minutes after 10
o’clock, her pure spirit took Its flight
to a brighter realm of sweeter rest.
The community was unprepared for
her unexpected death, and a shock of
surprise and grief followed the sad an
nouncement.
As Miss Eliza Oliver, her bright girl
life was speut in this city, where she
is remembered as oue of the most
sprightly aud admired of a bright
coterie of splendid young women of
mauy graces of person and admirable
traits of character. She early devel
oped those estimable qualities of heart
aud mind that endeared the young fa
vorite of society to the closer friends
of her maturer life.
lu June, 1869, Miss Eliza Oliver was
united in Marriage to Mr. T. M. Car
ter, a sterling young business man of
this city, who had but a few years be
fore moved from Columbus, Ga., his
boyhood home. Two lovable daught
ers blessed this happy uuion of two lov
ing hearts. The happy wife was tiie
light and life of the beautiful borne
that she graced, on which the
shadow of uo sorrow bad ever fallen.
Of tiie sweetest and most affable dispo
sition, she was as genial as the sum
mer sunshiue; of a generous nature
and a kindly heart, she was the best of
neighbors aud truest of friends. Giv
ing her Lean early to her Master, her
life was consecrated to His service,
and her diameter was adorned by
many Christian graces aud vlitues.
Mauy in afflictiou enjoyed the com
forting assurace of her love and sym
pathy, aud her brigiit presence dis-
pelled the glooin of mauy sick chambers.
But no goodness of heart, no gentle
ness of birth, no height of station can
disat m Death of his purpose or avert
the greed of the grave.
The two daughters. Misses Eva and
Ria, were in Columbus visiting the
father and mother of Mr. Carter, and
a telegram reached them after their
irreparable loss in tiie death of their
mother had been sustained. Accom
panied by their grandfather, they
reached home broken hearted on Sun
day night.
the funeral
took place from the Episcopal
church, of which Mrs. Carter was, in
her lifetime, a devoted and consist
ent member. The services were most
impressively rendered by Rev. J. R.
Winchester, rector of Christ’s church,
Macon, Ga.
Tiie remains were followed to their
last resting place by one of the laigest
funeral corteges ever seen in Albany,
comprising mourning relatives and
sympathizing friends.
The casket was covered with the
handsomest of floral designs, emblem
atic of the hope that spans the arch of
the cemetery with a bow of the prom-
isined resurrection, when the spring
time of eternity 6hall visit the grave.
Almost the entire community is un
der a sense of personal loss in the un
timely death of this most excellent
lady, and their smeerest sympathy is
extended to the bereaved husband, the
sorely distressed daughters and sor
rowing relatives.
melon Market*.
By refit rence to the wide distribu
tion of melons as shown by the News
and Advertiser’s published state
ment under the head, “Moving Mel
ons,” it will be seen that many mar
kets are open to melon shipments.
But even the number that appear
be worked by shippers bears a small
proportion to the whole number that
are auxious to secure consignments.
In 1883 the number of markets
known experimentally to melon grow-
eis was quite small; a few distribut
ing points were glutted each season
with the most disastrous effect upon
prices. It seems incredible that sen
sible men should have purposed to
produce such a crop without matur
ing plans for properly marketing them,
but It was true, and as many as 99
cars have passed Atlanta In one day
destined for Cincinnati, the queen city
of the melon business as well as of the
West.
A syndicate of commission merchants
in that city composed what was known
as the melon riug, and they took con
signments which they solicited to bear
the market,and tiie interest of railroads
and shippers were alike mercilessly
slaughtered.
The melon business possessed a fas
cination that planters could not resist,
and it was determined that more would
be planted. Mr. George R. McRea, of
Valdosta, one of the pioneers in the
business, united with others in a dis
tributing agency.
A plau was formulated and put into
successful operation that broke the
Cincinnati ring, opened more than a
hundred markets, and put growers in
communication with merchants that
sold to consumers,all of which resulted
i a changi ng the conditions that environ
ed the business to a bright and prom
ising aspect.
The demand for melons has contin
ued to improve In every marketopeued.
many of which knew nothing of the
delicious Georgia melon unti! experi
mental shipments in 1884 aud 1885.
The Southern markets consume more
tnelous in proportion to population
than those of more Northern latitudes.
Atlanta cousumiug nearly twice a.-
many as Cincinnati. One great
reason is that tiie freight is so
much cheaper to Atlanta that
melons can be sold by dealers at pop
ular prices. Another reason Is that
there is a greater proportion of Ne
groes In Atlanta than is found In more
Northern cities.
Hundreds of markets remain yet to
be developed, and under a liberal pol
icy of the Western roads every city of
4,000 inhabitants could be educated to
the end of consuming fifteen carloads
of melous during a season, and the
supply now sent forward would hardly
be a bite aronnd.
There Is a great undeveloped possi
bility in the melon business for tZus
section, but it will require concert of
action among planters and railroads to
accomplish a successful advancement
of the interest.

O-ie of the interesting social
events of thr season occurred. Wednes
day, at lialf-|ta*t 10 o’clock, whei
Miss Mary Price, one of the most „
highly esteemed voting ladies of this
city, was married to Mr. Robert Bur
nett, a sterling young business man of
Atlanta.
The marriage cercm-my was most
gracefully- performed by Rev. Ba=-
com Anthony in the Methodist church
before a cloud of pleased witnesses,
who had assembled to add the light
of tbelr presence rn the happy
sion.
The decorations were elaborate and
tasteful, anti bright flowers and green
garlands combined to produce the
most artistic decorative effect. Three
arches of pleasing symmetry, covered
with graceful sprays of evergreens, In
which the bright faces of flowers, as
if playing hide and seek, peeped out,
spun tie . the space in front of the
chancel. From the ceuter arch was
suspended the conventional wedding
bell, fashioned of lovely white flo
ers, under which the happy jialr stood
during the ceremony.
Every surrounding conspired to
heighten the brightness ot the occa
sion, and ail was indeed as merry as a
marriage bell.
Six ushers served on the occasion.
Messrs. W. T. Cox, A. J. Lippitt, W.
A. Strother, Jr., S. D. Price and S. F.
Price, of this city, and Mr. E. B.
Fletcher, of Atlanta.
At the conclusion of the ceremony,
and after the shower of congratula
tions, the bride and groom repaired to
the depot, whence they took the noon
train for Atlanta, their *future home,
accompanied by tiie brother of the for
tunate groom. Mr. Amos Barker aud
Mrs. G. W. Terry, of Atlanta; also
Miss Maggie Shearer, of this city.
Thursday night Mr. and Mrs.Burnett
held a reception at their home iu At

. Death of an li-faul.
“Leaves hare their times to fall. .
And flower# to wither at the north wind’s
breath.
And stars to set—bat all,
Tboa hast aU seasons for thine own, O
death!”
These lines from Mrs. Heinan have
been brought to mimi, aud the trutli
of the words most forcibly illustrated
in tiie death, at fifteen minutes after 5
o’clock ol Tuesday morning, of little
Helen, the infant daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. A. W. Tucker, of tills city. The
little flower was nursed with tender
care and anxious solicitude, but He
who doeth all things we'll chose rather
to take her out of life before sin touch
ed her little heart, thus giving the
fond parents another link to draw
their souls to heaven.
The bereaved parents sustain iu the
death of little Helen the loss or their
first born and only child, and have the
heartfelt sympathy of this entire com
munity in their bitter grief.
The funeral of the little babe now
“asleep in Jesus” took place from
the residence ot the parents at half-
past 9 o’clock on Wednesday morning.

The Augusta News seems to under
stand boys pretty well. The able
editor of that spicy paper was proba
bly once a.boy himself. He says: “If
you have a boy named Bill, or Bud,
or Sam, or Tom, you need not fear
that he will be drowned during the
swimming season. The boy who has
a plug name, and whose hair stands
up straight like hazel brush, aud who
has stone bruises on his feet, Is not in
danger of drowning. But if vonr son
lias curly hair, and If he wears shoes
in summer, and has a pretty name,
you had better let him swim in the
wash bowl.”
Tom Williams, a porter In Welch
A Agar’s drug store, sustained pain
ful injuries, Thursday afternoon, from
spilling sulphuric acid over his face
and arms. He was refilling the gen
erator of the soda bottling apparatus,
when he fell, irom some cause, and
the contents of a pitcher of acid was
turned over Idm. His face was badly
burned, ami some little ot the acid
got In one ot his eyes, but olive oil
and glycerine were applied with sooth
ing effect. The add was so strong
that it burned through his clothing.
It was impossible to estimate the full
extent of his injuries, Thursday, but
Dr. Davis thought that, though pain
ful, they were not serious.

We have bad some partial rains since
our last, and to-day the weather is
more favorable. The indications for
rain are much better than for some

cloudy for twenty-four hours, but lit*
tie rain lias fallen siuce Sunday, and
in a very moderate quantity then.
The melon shipments may not go
beyond twenty-live car loads from ibis

about all of the shipping melous have
been sent off. There may be possibly
twenty car loads after this week for
shipment. The estimate at one time
was 150 Irom this place.

We have some young men here who
have jus: made their debut iuto this
comparatively new field of labor, and
who bid fair to attain a position of no
mean character. They even dare to
throw down the gauntlet to so*re of
loger experience. This is not only
the “home of tiie brave,” but the
land of the free,” as well. Variety
is, too, the “spice of life,” and while
the boys may not make much money
they can have a goodly portion of fun.

T.
lnterestiuc Occasloa.
Tiie closing exercises of Mr. J. Q.
Wallace’s schoool at Wesley Chappel,
Dougherty county, eight miles cast of
Albany, occurred Thursday.
The occasion wasan interesting oue,
aud a large audience assembled to en
joy tiie public recitations and other
exercises prepared for their entertain
ment.
The forenoon was consumed In a re
view of the pupils over the lessons of
the past term, in which they acquitted
themselves handsomely, reflecting
credit upon their preceptor.
The dinner hour having arrived, the
exercises .were suspended, and, re
pairing to n well-shaded pine grove,
the matrons present spread out on the
green grass-turtted area,one of the roost
sumptuous repasts that ever tempted
and satified the appetite. No one who
never enjoyed a basket dinner with the
hospitable and thrifty farmers of East
Dougherty ran know with what ele
gance and bounty a stranger can be
entertained by them. He who shares
their hospitality lias occcasiui to be
thankful that his lines have fallen in
pleasant, places.
At. two o’clock the exercises were
resumed, aud the young orators ap
peared **in public on the stage” to the
end or greatly gratifying their proud
parents and entertaining the pleased
audience.
At the conclusion of tiie programme,
which we would !»e glad to publish in
its entirety, but unfortunately have It
not, Mr* Q lintus Wallace announced
that the’school term hail closed, and
called upon Rev. Mr. Golden to de
liver an address on Sunday schools.
At the conclusion of this speech the
scribe took bis leave-for home.
The drive back proved pleasant,
and the grow fhg crops delighted us
with a promise of a fairly good har
vest. Jesse Mercer’s and J. A. John
son’s crops were especially fine.
The recent rains were more abund
ant seven miles out than in tbe city,
and all.nature seems refreshed and ex
hibits eignsof Vigor and growth. The
farmers of East Dougherty are In
high hopes of good crops, and we trust
that they will enjoy the realization.
A llappy Cbatsge.
Although tiie two weeks of dry
weather injured the crops more or
less, yet Wednesday’s rains have had a
happy effect in washing out the fears
and raising the hopes of the farmers.
The sleeping city was waked, on
Wednesday morningeariy,by thegrate
ful sound of pattering rain drops that
put everybody in a good humor. The
rain descended gently and the thirsty
earth drank it up rapidly. It, how
ever, was not of long duration, but
passing clomls dropped showers all
through the day.
Tbe corn crop in this section was In
a most critical condition, and one
week longer of the hot and dry weath
er would have ruined It irreparably.
A fair.crop will, now be gathered if
rhe seasons are propitious through
July.
Cotton has suffered but slight injury
from the ditmth, and is in a most ex
cellent shape now to make a full crop.
Altogether the prospect Is as cheer
ing aalt was two weeks since wi:b the
of tronbie or bereavement she was
always with us to sympathize and con-[cotton crop, but corn cannot do so
sole, and in our pleasures and joys she
participated witli all the zeal of her
brigiit and happy nature. A lady
who had been to call on her only a
few afternoons ago, stopped In at our
house fora little while, and said that j marketing,
she was one of the most beautiful and j
well as wxs then hoped for, and mel
ons are seriously injured. -However,
it is possible yet for the vines to recu
perate under seasonable weather, and
produce a late crop that will be wortli
ing the crops along the line oi the S.
W. R. R. extension, which show a de
gree of cultivation that surpasses Iu
thoroughness that ol many years past.
We stopped over for the night at
Leary, and found tiie good people ot
that thriving little city In prospective
enjoying excellent health which comes
with a bountiful supply of healthful
artesian water, which they are so for
tunate as to have. The water is pore
and palatable, and flows to bless the
people of that section with nature’s
only beverage. The enterprising citi
zens of Leary deserve praise for
their pluck iu persisting in their
efforts to secure the benefits of artesian
water for tbelr town and section.
From Leary, in company with Mr.
F. P. Griffin, the genial host of tbe
Griffin House at Leary, behind
spanking team from the famous
stables ot Mr. T. W. Hammond, we
journeyed across a flue agricultural
section to Morgan.
Three miles from Leary we passed
the spot where once the thriving town
of Concord lay out in Its beauty and
promise. Now, where once handsome
homes invited the weary traveler to
their hospitable boards, and where the
busy marts of trade were thronged by
men intent on fourtunes winning,
weeds grow undisturbed to hide the
cunn’ng reptile, and “AH the air a
solemn stillness holds.”
The drive was most enjoyable, as it
led through a country with beautiful
natural scenery, now and then varied
by tbe cultivation from tbe artistic
hand of man.
Calhoun Superior Court convened
on Tuesday at 11 a. m., Judge B. B.
Bower presiding.
We noticed Judge D. H. Pope, Colo

Vason, of the Albany bai,lu attend
ance upon the court. Colonel Arthur
Hood and others, of Cuthbert, were
present.
In consequence of the jail delivery
that occurred at Morgan last spring,
110 jail cases were tried, as the birds
had flown. There was no heavy civil
docket, and the business of the court
was finished by Thursday night, when
it was adjourned.
Morgan has a number of prosperous
and enterprisiug merchants; aud the
hotel, so admirably kept by Mrs. E.
G. Clayton, is a credit to the town.

DROWNED THEIR COMPANION.
Two Boys, Disregarding tho En
treaties of a Companion who
Coaid Not Swim, Capsize a Boat
with Him aud Leave Him to
Drown.
Thomasville, Ga., June 20th, 1887.
Nietos and Advertiser :J
A number of our boys went out last
Saturday eveulng to Mitchell’s Mill
pond to go In bathing. Three of the
number, Butler, Stephens aud Smith
procured a boat aud were enjoying a
boat ride when one of the boys de
cided to have some fun by capsizing
the boat. Smith plead piteously with
them not to upset the boat, assuring
them that he could not swim, but in
tent ou having their fun they disre
garded his earnest entreaties, and up
set the boat.
Butler and Stephens reached the
shore, but poor unfortunate Smith
could not swim, and as no assistance
was rendered him by his companions,
he was consigned to a watery grave.
The body of the unfortunate young
man was recovred Sunday morning in
twenty feet of water.
An impressive funeral service was
conducted by the Rev. Mr. Tiller from
the Baptist church, at 5 p. m., yester
day, and the remains of poor Lee
Smith were laid to rest in Laurel Hill
cemetery. Deceased was about 17
years old, was a former typo in the
office of the Thomasville Enterprise,
and was the only son of a poor deserv
ing widow lady. The entire commu
nity heartily sympathize with her in
the sad and tragic death of her only
boy. ” * * *

The Camilla Clarion takes a*gloomy
view of the melon crop. It says:
“The Clarion very reluctantly an
nounces that the melon crop of South
Georgia will be very short. We have
reached this conclusion after a careful
study of the field. Our editor is a
fanner and melon grower, but raises
none to ship. He has better opportu
nities for observing farming matters
tiian most newspaper men. And wc*
say now that melons will be small;
that there arc few on tiie vines aud the
crops of many growers will be, as to
shipping first-class melons, an absolute
failure.” ^
English sparrows breed mites. Sev
eral homes in this city are infested by
tiie midget tormentors, they having
been propagated by tiie English spar
rows building their nests on tiie top of
the columns in the front porches. It
would be well for every house to be
prepared against the introduction of
these troublesome little animaienhe by
fixing the columns so as to exclude
the English sparrow from the hospi
talities of the home. They have no
gratitude—you may give them shelter
and they will zive you no rest.

GENIAL
Writes From Prosperous Camilla
Again.
(Tamili. *, Ga., June 21,1887.
Netrs itu»l Advertiser:
Well, if I did “jump from watermel
ons to Brazilian lace,” as you face
tiously put IC it Is not such a siartl-
ing digression after all. A luscious
melon is merely a dainty luxury for
the refreshment and pleasure of tiie
Inner man. while a delicate fabric o«
Brazilian lace i* simply an external
ornamentation, affording just as much
delectation to the outer woman.
Although it is some day* after the
feast, I ran not refrain from extending
congnutdation-* to t.»e News and Ad
vertiser upon a permanent settlement
of the long-vexed bridge question.
The columns of that journal have, boil
in season and out of season, 1 maintains
an unfaltering friendship iu earnest
advocacy, not of this one grand con
summation alone, but «*f every «»thei
worthy enterprise looking to tiie ad
vancement of Albany ami Southwest
Georgia. The recent effort of tiie cit\
proper, together with its uiinnimou.*
exercise of the franchise, maj well b»
regarded as the greatest day’s work lu
its history, and will, iu tiie lierealtei.
bring forth fruit in wtomjeiwe an
hundred told.
There is uotldug of any great loca-
importance to communicate. A re
freshing shower of raiu passed orei
this immediate sectiou, yesterday,
greatly tempering the oppressive hea
aud proving beneficial to the now as
sured corn crop.
Several enterprising citizens of tiii
place are, at present, considering th*
project of erecting extensive mills for
grist and ginning purpose*. The mills
n »w in o|icration have a capacity of a
hundred bushels of meal daily. This
quantity goes to supply the local trade, .
and is also sldpiied to fill orders from
points up ami down the d., F. A W.
road. Consequently, the busy hum of
the mill machinery is heard through
out rhe long summer days and often
far into the night to meet the ever in
creasing demand.
The school of the Rev. E. B. Carroll,
nnmliering some seventy pupils, Is, at
this time, in active preparation for its
annual exhibition, oh Thursday and
Friday nights of the present week.
Having witnessed several well-con
ducted rehearsals, I can reasonably pre
dict that Bennett’s Hall will be crowd
ed, asrhentri,*a! managers like to say,
from pit to dome, and tiie exercises
prove highly entertaining both to the
patrons and the geueral public.
One feature of Camilla society has
favorably impressed me, and that is
the fondness both for vocal and Instru
mental music. There is one happy
family. I might mention, In which even
the little juveniles take part in the
pleasant home concerts, aud having
been trained to keep good time they
aid materially in the harmony and ex
pressions of the selections. The la
mented i>oet, Longfellow, must have
had some such happy home scenes
ns tiie inspiration to ids exquisite and
oft repeated lines:
44 Tbe uiKbts shall be Ailed with n
l tn«* c
Shall fold their tents like the Aral
And u silently steal stray.”
I have, in some missive, intimated
an impression as to the profound
quietude tiiat prevails in this locality
alter certaiu hours of the night. The
coutrast is almost oppressive when 1
recall tiie flaring lights of the still
wide awake houses, the merry greeting
of friends anil the hurried footfalls to
and fro of many ol Albany’s restless
denizens, even after tiie hours of 10 or
II at night. It is no great burden to
conform, for a lime, to the customs,
however antagonistic, of tho*<e around
us. If Camilla sleeps at a conven
tional hour and “leaves the world to
darkness and to me,” I, too, can retire
to uiy exclusive quarters aud wrap
ping tiie drapery of the couch about
me, as Bryant has it, lie down to pleas
ant dreams with no fear of intrusion
till the morning. A location so silent
and quiet as this would be a perfect
elysium for the life-weary Invalid,
hinging for tiie rest and peace denied
them in the great cities. Here can his
fevered brow be fauued at all hours of
tiie night by the geutle breezes blow
ing from tiie far away coast. Often
from ids casement lie can look forth
u;>on giant groves bathed lu the sil
very moonlight, or presenting vast
masses of shadow and darkness be
neath the pale starlight. As such a
home but few locations bear any com
parison with it. S.
Tbo Bitter Weed.
Tiie bittet weed, which belongs to
the family of plants which the dog
fennel graces, Is becoming a nuisance
of huge proportions In this section.
