THE PBESUCJB PICTURE
Sold to Copt* E. L. Wight for m
Round Rom.
The premium picture at the Art and
Floral Fair, “The Revenge of the
Flowers,” by MUs Mamie Crowe, was
bought by Captain Ed. L. Wight, at a
good round snm.
This picture was almost the univer
sal favorite of all the beautiful paint
ings on exhibition. The subject was,
such as would arrest the attention long
enough for the exquisite work on it to
gain recognition and appreciation. It
represented the recumbent form of a
sleeping beauty, whose graceful figure
was clearly discernible through the
diaphanous drapery 4>f snowy white.
Near the luxurious couch on which
the painted Venus sweetly slumbered,
stands a vase of the fairest flowers, but,
like those of Eden, the trail of the ser
pent is o’er them all, and its wriggling
form is protruding, a tongue of envy,
to sting and mar the beauty that out
shines tbe flowers.
The subject is a pleasing one, and of
comparative easy handling, bat it cer
tainly was exquisitely portrayed under
the artistic touch of Miss Crowe.

THE BART PARADE.
The 9Mt Pleasant Pageant that
Ever Grace* the Streets si Aar
City
To the old saying, the best is always
saved lor tbe last, the parade of babies
on the last afternoon of the Art and
Floral Fair, wa3 a happy illustration.
The dear Innocent creatures, who does
not love them!
Pursuant to the short call; in Thurs
day’s News and Advertiser many
bright and beautiful babies and chub
by toddlers, under the care of watch-
ful nurses scarcely less proud than
marked, were not very numerous at their mothers who hovered over the
scene, assembled at the Artesian well,
Friday afternoon. After the ap
pointed hour, one by one, they came
like purest drops of a heaven-distilled
shower to swell the bright crystal
the start.
Tbe exhibition seemed to grow in
public favor and estimation from the
hour tbe doors were thrown open, and
tbe Interest did not lag.
It was known from the first, by Ibote
Who were in a position to know, that
the Fair was a success so far as tbe
exhibition itself was concerned, bnt it
was not until Thursday night that tbe
officers of tbe Association felt sanguine
that they were going to come out all
right, financially. While the Fair was
not intended as a money-making
scheme, those who bad assumed
responsibility of tbe enterprise natur
ally felt that it must at least pay tbe
liberal premium list and all incidental
expenses, and leave no debts banging
over the Association, to be called a
complete success. When they bal
anced tbe cash on Thursday night and
found that they were.- “solid,” they
not only felt relieved, but commenced
to feel good and even enthusiastic.
Fairs don’t usually come out ahead,
financially, but It is gratifying to those
who organized the Albany Art and
Floral Fair Association to be able to
have It said that their first fair has
been an exception in this respect, and
that Jfley will have enough money in
their treasury, after paying all de
mands, for a nest egg.
Elsewhere in tbe News and Adver
tiser we publish the list of premium
awards, as announced in the hall on tbe
closing night. The cash premiums,
including a few special premiums off
ered by Individuals, amounted to
about $300.
It has been impossible, during tbe
progress of tbe Fair, for the News and
Advertiser to notice the exhibits in
detail. To have done so would have
filled every column of the paper with
the Fair.
But tbe notes.have been takeu for a
write-up of the Fair in broken doses,
and our readers may expect daily
doses of fair aftermath for some time
te come.
It is safe to say that the success of
tills, its first fair, assures the perma
nent organization of the Albany Art
and Floral Fair Association, with an
art aud floral fair every spring.
Bala Water.
There is no irrigation equal to that
natural rain. Men may devise sub
stitutes, but can never fully supply
anything that possesses its value to
plants.
It is a most pleasing contemplation
to watch drooping plant life, after a
season of scorching drought, as it re
sponds gladly to the reviving influence
of rain. Plants seem to stiffen their
necks with pride, and lifting their
swelling heads they fairly strut as
they grow off. It requires no great
imagination to see them shake with
laughter and sway to and fro as they
experience the delightful sensation of
a shower bath. Tbe little plants seem
to spatter In the puddles like so many
children, and their feet are spattered
with dirt which they shake off in the
vigor of their growth.
The thirsty earth opens its every
rnoutli and gratefnlly receives that
which It seems conscious of being the
milk of the myriad children It nur
tures on its broad bosom.
The crystal drops of rain water, as
they are distilled, are purer than the
distillation of any laboratory, and in
descending through the air they wash
and purify it, by absorbing foreign
substances. The atmosphere is thus
filched to the end of compounding a
natural tonic for plant life, and at the
same time a most potent solvent,
which softens the hard eaith into
yielding its strength and substance to
the numberless months of the roots of
the plants that sock like leeches.
This country is blessed in the pro
vision that Providence has made for
irrigating it from tbe clonds. Th
laws which control the conditions that
precipitate rain are one of tbe many
marks of special favor to this land of
plenty. It is true that for years the
distribution of rain water has not been
uniform, and our agricultural interest
ha* greatly suffered, and all others
have sympathised in its depression.
Yet, there is every encouragement lor
us to hope for a restoration of tbe
normal condition of weather. Be
cause things have been sadly oat of
joint for so long a time, is reason for
us to look with confident expectation
to a return of that season when every
thing is favorable and works together
for the prosperity of those who are
diligent in business.
A Farmer Albanian BontreA.
Mr. George C. Lark, a former high
ly respected Albanian, has been ap
pointed by Governor Gordon, Judge
of the County Court of Clay, in which
county he has been reshling for a num-
of years past.
This will gratity tbe many friends
of George in this city and in this
tion where be is favorably
be red. -
Rain water in proper quantities is
undoubtedly a good thing, but like all
good things there is such a thing as
haying too much of it. The showers
for tbe past four days have been co
pious and numerous, and as oat cut
ting season is at hand the public would
be gratified at a temporary cessation.
The Cadmean meeting, which was to
have been held on last Monday night,
was drowned out by the rain. The
meeting will he held on Monday night
May 21st., at the residence of Captain
S. R. Weston, when the programme
published for last meeting will be pre-

stream that flowed with gracious In
fluence through the streets of Albany.
The Albany Bra=3 Brass Band lent
animation to the sceoce, by dispensing
sweet music for the occasion as It
marched at the head of the long pro
cession. ' :
Mr. J. M. Tift, marshal or the day,
formed the elegant carriages with their
precious occupants in procession, plac
ing two little toddlers, that were too
proud of tbe accomplishment of walk
ing Into mischief to be rolled in a baby
carriage, between the carriages. At
a signal, the procession moved off bril
liantly, every baby in excellent good
‘as betokened by their bright
and amused expressions.
The line of march was thronged
with delighted spectators and proud
parents, and as the brilliant pageant
passed, like a ray of sunshine, it bright
ened every face with a smile.
The line covered three acres in
lengtitj-wnd as It-cunretl around the
end of the march, it was like a beauti
ful rainbow spanning tbe bended
heavens.
Albany’s streets were never filled
with a happier crowd of delighted
spectators.
Our people prize the lovely flowers
of their gardens, and the exquisite
works of art that grace their elegant
homes,but the most perfect image that
ever grew on the painter’s canvass is
not comparable to tbe grace of our
robust children, nor tbe flowers that
bloom in the spring, ran vie with the
roses that glow on their cheeks. With
tbe love and pride of the mother of the
Gracchi, we exclaim, these are our
jewels. They are wells of comfort and
joy in every household, and springs-of
inspiration to a poor and higher life.
God bless them!
Upon reaching the artesian well, the
bouquet of living beauty fell to pieces
and each flower was taken away to
brighten a home. Ob! that we could
enjoy more such pageants: they dis
solve, but leave behind 'the twee test
recollections of the bright visions, that
refine the heart like evening prayer.

Patronize Home Industry.
The News and Advertiser is op
posed to the principles and practices
of protection enforced by legislative
enactment, but it favore the patronage
of home industry, especially when It
can be done at no sacrifice. The prin
ciples involved in each are so diverse
that if it were necessary to distinguish
them, it must be shown more by con
trast titan by similitude.
Pride of country should impose a
reciprocal duty upon seller and buyer
to the end ot requiring them to furnish
as good an article at as little cost as
any foreign tradesman or manufacture!
and .then conscience and duty can pre
scribe bat one line oT conduct for the
boyer to pursue—a protronage of
home industry.
All departments of business and all
classes of a comuiuuity are mntoally
dependent. There is no such thing as
complete insulation of a business from
the influence of the surrounding con
ditions. The poorest .day laborer that
shelters his'weary bead at night in tbe
humble hat, and the richest banker that
finds rest in his palatial mansion from
the cares of business, are related more
or less closely in Interest. Each par
ticipates in the others prosperity, or
suffers through the others misfortnne.
Therefore, all interests of a communi
ty are interwoven and their combined
strength sustains the public prosperity,
like the great cable of separate wires
supports a bridge. In helping one
another, then, we but help onrselves.
The home merchant, whose honest
and fair dealings entitle him to our
confidence, deserves the patronage of
fellow townsmen in preference to him
whose busiuess and whose profit con
tribute to swell the sum total of a
rival city’s prosperity. The artisan,
whose earnings are spent in our com
munity and whose labor goes towards
producing a thing of value, thns creat
ing uew wealth, all things being equal,
should enjoy the preference over all
competitors.
The ideal community would be,
where all were mutually helpful, and
wheu all manifested pride in the testi
monies given by a neighbor of talent
aud ability, and sympathized in the
misfortunes and shared the pleasure
of others successes. Personal piques,
unreasonable animosities and insatia
ble ambition preclude the possibility
of such a reflection of heavenly attri
butes. But still, there is every reason
for the expectation that every member
of a community will do what be may
In advancing the public weal, and
there is no questiou but spending your
money at home is one of'th^ many
seusible ways' in contributing tt^ the
public prosperity.

Superior Court and Other Items
of Interest Picked up in New
ton.
On • Monday, May 7th, 1888, the
Spring Term ot Baker Superior Court
convened, with His Honor Judge B.
B. Bower on the bench, and Solicitor-
General Spence at his post. The ses
sion was a very short one. The civil
docket was cleared on Monday, and
the criminal docket was taken up Tues
day morning. There being but one or
two prisoners in jail, the criminal
docket was cleared by Tuesday night,
and Court adjourned.
There were two Negroes, Mary Jane
Barrett, living ou Col. P. W. Jones
plantation, and Bill Brinkley, adjudged
lunatics, on Tuesday, and wih be sent
to the lunatic asylum. Bill Brinkley
was an intelligent Negro, and was
studying for the ministry. It is
claimed that the mysteries of the Bible
were too much for his brain-power,
hence his present pitiable condition.
He is a raving maniac, the authorities
being compelled to chain him*to the
floor.
Newton’s poet, “Roving Joe,” who
was uontiued in jail for horse stealing,
has been given his freedom, the Grand
Jury tailing to find a bill of indict
ment. Joe’s poem, which was pub
lished in the News and Advertiser
last week, created a great deal of in
terest.
The Nickel Club of Newton had a
grand treat in st'ire for the visitors at
Court, for Monday night, at the resi
dence of Dr. Willis, in the. way of reci
tations and music, but all were sadly
disappointed on account of the heavy
rains during the early part of the
evening. It is to be regretted, for the
club is a deserving organization and
would have realized handsome re
ceipts from their 3Ionday night’s en
tertainment.
The many friends of Mr. H. A.
Ledbetter, formerly oftMs.coanty, hut
now of Becatur, Ala., were pleased at
his presence at Court, this week.
Mr. W. W. Williams, of Macon, is
among old friends here, this week.
All along the S., F. A W. R’y to

Mr. J. E. Crossland, one of the
best planters in this section, enjoys tbe
reputation of raising more hogs and

hogs to some point in West Dougherty.
They were beautiful specimens, and

Ex-Solicitor Gen. Jesse Walter, was
in oar town, this evening, on his way
from Newton Court, home. He seemed
to be fall of good spirits, bat your cor
respondent does not mean tbe bad in

watermelons would be a failure this
year because he was engaged in the
business. He does not like the Irish
potato planting.
H. J. Spence, an attorney at law,
the clerk of the court and the county
treasurer, all of Fayette county, Flori
da, came np on Saturday last, on their
way to Worth county, looking after
a couple of youngsters, now said to
be in jail np there. They (the boys)
happened to be, like poor Tray, In bad
company, and hence, their misfortnne.
We had a jolly good time here, on
last Saturday afternoon. The order of
the knights of Honor marched through
the town keeping step with good
mnsic, dispensed by the Camilla Cornet
Band nnder the effectual leadership of
Prof. Baldwin. The boys are making
good headway, and even now begin to
make the welkin ring. After the
march, came an address by Rev. Mr.
Carroll, one of the officials of the or
der, In response to a call. He gave an
interesting and condensed hi6toiy of
the Knights. Next came the ice cream,
cake, etc., which Jhad been . prepared
by the deft hands of the good wives
of the lords of tbe order. Your cor
respondent was one of the favored and
honored guests. The good things
were enjoyed in the dining-room of the
Hotel Georgia.
The fishing party from Amerieus to
Notchaway, last week, claimed to have
had a good time, except Capt. John
son, who met with the misfortune to
be thoroughly docked by the stumble
and fall of the faithful John of the
stable here. The captain was a little
too heavy for John, and down he went.
It is presumed the Captain will long
remember his plunge. “People when
put to plunge, cry to Heaven for
help.” Maj. McGarror the only one
of the angling prrty your correspon
dent met, impressed him most favor
ably, because, pertly,-it is possible, he
is an immediate descendent of an old
neighbor and friend of our young and
boyish days of S. C.

Prepare for Grass Land*.
The News and Advertiser Is fully
aware of the deep and growing Inter
est In the subject of grasses and hay
caring in this section, and is gratified
at the result of its inkstence on their
importance.
The recent copious rains will cause
the seeds of native grasses to sprout,
and he whose grass lands have been
previously prepared is fortunate.
But there is plenty of time in which to
make an excellent crop of hay. In
fact the crow-foot grass comes later,
and it is the most valuable for hay of
all the native grasses of this section.
The land should be euriched, as fer
tilization will pay better on no crop
than on hay, and it shonld be thor
oughly pulverized and leveled, when
it will yield a crop of hay that will
prove more profitable than any other
crop.
There will be a great demand for
hay and other forage ia this section
during the coming summer and fall.
The operation of the stock law will
bring it into great request, and every
pound of home-cured hay will be dis
posed of to fine advantage. There is
no question but that it is more nutri
tious to cattle and better suited totiieir
taste than the western article. Then,
why is it that thousands of dollars
roust be sent away for that with which
nature has provided us In great abun
dance, and the.only cost of obtaining
it Is the breaking ef the soil, cutting
and caring.
The fact Is, cotton ‘ planters de
stroy annually, in cultivating their
cotton crops, more money than they re
ceive net from their chief money crop.
There is more gold in the grasses of
Southwest Georgia than in its banks,
and it is easier to get it out-by an in
telligent system of cultivating, catting
and curing.
The News and Advertiser hopes
to see the city market stocked with
Georgiarcured hay, next fall, to the
exclusion of tbe Western and Eastern
hay that has been shipped here in such
quantities. Mr. B. F. Wilder, one
of the most intelligent farmers of this
section, demonstrated, last season, the
possibilities of hay cutting in this sec
tion. His crop paid him handsomely,
and he is now preparing for another.
g In Albany, his lather, who
| was with him, tenderly carried his
teebie boy to Mrs. M. J. Towns* near
J the artesian well, and he began to
drink freely of its healing' waters. In
twenty lour hoars as if by magic he
began to improve; the acute pains
slowly disappeared as it exorcised, and
to-dar he appears as vigorous a lad as
any wonld wish to see.
Learning of this radical improve
ment in the young mau’B condi
tion a reporter of the News and Ad
vertiser called upon him, yesterday,
and he walked oat, from a hearty din
ner with a strong elastic step and tbe
light of joy in his countenance over
newly recovered health.
After an Introduction, the reporter
asked him if be had notimproved since
coming to Albany.
“Yes, sir, I could not walk when I
came, but I feel as if I was fully re
stored to health, now.”
“To what do you attribute your
Improved condition?” asked the re
porter.
“To the artesian water, of course. I
earne here to try that.”
How long after yon began drink
ing the water before yon experienced
any benefit?”
In twenty-fouV hoars I began to
improve, and my disease yielded
readily to the water, until 1 am as
strong as ever In my life. I tell you,
your artesian water is a great thing,
and I am going home and send others
up here to drink It, who are similarly
afflicted.”
This is but one of the many marvel
ous cures effected by Albany’s artesian
water. The time will come when it
will be visited by thousands annually,
to the end of regaining their pristine
vigor and being restored to families
with as great capabilities for usefulness
as ever.

Rua«ia’M “Fair City.”
George Kennan in thp Centnary.
To a traveler visiting Nizhni Nov
gorod for the first time there is some
thing surprising, and almost startling,
in the appearance of what he supposes
to be the eity, and in tlie scene pre
sented to him as he emerges from the
railway station and walks away from
the low bank of the Oka river in the
direction of the Volga. The clean,
well paved streets; the long rows of
substantial buildings; the spacious
boulevard, shaded by leafy birches
and poplars; the canal, spanned at in
tervals by graceful bridges; the pict
uresque tower of the waterworks ; the
enormous cathedral of Alexander Nev-
ski; the bourse; the theatres; the
hotels; the market places—all seem to
indicate a great populous center of life
and commercial activity; but of living
inhabitants there is not a sigu. Grass
aud weeds are growiug in the middle
of the empty streets aud In tiie chink
of the travel-worn sidewalks; birds
are singing fearlessly in the trees that
shade the lonely and defaced boule
vard ; the countless shops and ware
houses are all closed, barred, and pad
locked ; the bells are silent in the. gild
ed belfries of the church, and the as
tonished strauger may perhaps wander
for a mile between solid blocks of
buildings without seeing an open door,
a vehicle or a single human being.
The city seetus to have been striken by
a pestilence and deserted.
If the newcomer remembers for
what Nizhni Novgorod is celebrated,
he is not long, of course, in coming to
the conclusion that he is on the site of
tbe famous fair; but tiie first realiza
tion of the fact that tin? fair Is in itself
a separate and independent city, and a
city which during nine months of
eveiy year stands empty and deserted,
comes to him with the shock of a great
surprise. The lair city of Nizhni
Novgorod is situated on a low penin
sula between the rivers Oka and Volga,
just above their junction, very mncli
as New York City is situated on 3Ian-
hattan Island, between Ea«t River and
the Hudson. In geographical position
it bears the same relatiou to tbe old
town of Xizhui Novgorod that New
York would bear to Jersey City if the
latter were elevated jn a steep ter
raced bluff 400 feet above the level of
the Hudson. '
AN EPHEMERAL LIFE.
The Russian fair city, however, dif
fers from New York city iu that It is a
mere temporary market—a huge com
mercial caravansary where 500,000
traders assemble every year to buy and
sell commodities. In September it has
frequently a population of more than
100,000 souls, and contains merchan
dise valued at $75,000,000; while In
January, February or March all of its
inhabitants might be. fed and sheltered
in the smallest of its hotels, L and all of
its goods might be put into a single
one of its innumerable shops. Its life,
therefore, Isa sort oi intermittent com
mercial fever, , ia which an annual
paroxysm, of intense aud unnatural
activity is followed by a long interval
of torpor and stagnation.
. 4t seems almost incredible at first
that a city of such magnitude—a city
which. contains churches, mosques,
theaters, markets,banks, hotels, a mer
chants’ exchange and nearly 7.630
shops and inhabitable buildings,should
have so ephemeral a life, and should
he so completely affatidoned every
3*ear after it has served the purpose for
which it was created. When I saw
this unique city for the first time, on a
dear frosty night in January, 18G8, it
presented an extraordinary picture. of
loneliness and disolation. The moon
light streamed down into its long
empty streets where the unbroken
snow-lay two feet deep upon the side
walks; it touched with silver the white
walls and swelling domes of the old
fair cathedral, from whose towers
there came no clangor of bells; it
sparkled on great snowdrifts heaped
up against the doors of the empty
houses, and poured a; flood of pale
light over thousands of snow-covercd
roofs: but it did not reveal anywhere
a sign of a human being. The city
seemed to be not only uninhabited,but
wholly abandoned to the arctic spirits
of solitude and frost.
A BUSY MCLTITCDE.
When I saw it next, at the height of
the annual fair In the autumn of
it was so changed as to be almost un-|
recognizable. It was then surrounded
by a great forest of shipping;- its hot,!
dusty atmosphere thrilled with the lo- i
eessant whistling of steamers; . mer-J

this city, yesterday, through a special

manhood, where his genial nature and
high business qualifications combined

and it was with delight that the glad
tidings of great joy to them were re

Consumption, Wasting Diseases-
And General Debility. Doctors dis
agree as a the relative value of Cod
Liver OU and’ Hypophosphites—the
one supplying strength and flesh; the
other giving nerve power, and acting
as a tonic to the digestive and entire
system. But in Scott’s Emnlsion of
Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites,
the two are combined, and the effect is
wonderful. Thousands who have de
rived no permanent benefit from other
preparations have been cared by its
use. TVs Is not an assumption, hut
facts that are substantiated by the ex
perience of the past 10 years, and the
endorsements of thousands of the best
physicians throughout the country.
A party of fishermen, at the island
opposite the seat of the old Grave’s
MU1, were surprised at one of the fish
ermen catching a genuine white shad.
with a hook and line. The impression
prevails that shad never bite at eel
worms and the catch was surprising.
They were fishing at night, and as
shad ran mostly at night, it is suppos
ed that a curious member of a moving
school nibbled at tiie bait to ascertain
its uaiure, and was hooked. So,
curiosity kills more things than cats

Why We Prosper.
Thomas ville Enterprise.
Last winter one of our stablemen
had occasion to ship two horses to
Louisville, Ky. The best rate ho
could obtain from here was $90 for the
two.' He sent them across the croun-
try to Albany and shipped them for
$37. Albany is only 58 miles from
Thomasville, but even bottled np as
she is, competing fines gave her tbe
advantage we have named.
Dintresa After Eating.
When at this season of the year you
cat some fruit or vegetables, yon feel a
disturbed condition about the sumach
or bowels, relieve it at once by using
Dr. Biggers* Huckleberry Cordial. 1
A Doctor’S Patient*.
Why is a doctor better taken care of
than his patient? Because when he
goes to bed some one is sure to wrap
him up. The prudent doctor advises
his patients to keep Dr. Biggers’
Huckleberry Cordial to relieve sudden
attacks of the bowels. 1
