A gay party of serenaders favored
some of the residents up in what is
known as the “Tift Neighborhood”
with a delightful serenade, on Thurs
day night. Tlie music, both vocal and
instrumental, was splendid, and was
highly appreciated.
Mr. James Gekvis, the City Street
Overseer, who lias been suffering with
something like paralysis for about four

It was reported that he was dying on

cards to the publication of a book.
One ol the most delicately beautiful
of all the flora native to this region is
the bloom of the prickly pear. Its pe

abounds in a few localities, and it is

cacti, to which family it belongs, the
dower emits a faint odor that is'nol
ungrateful to the senses.

glorious cause.

shortage in the supply of rosin this sea
son Is causing considerable discussion
among the factors.
A prominent factor of Savannah
stated to the Times on Monday that lie
estimated tliat the crop of virgin will
tie about 35 per cent, less than last
year. Tlie second and third: year crops
will be about the same.
This will be due to the low prices
prevalent during last year. The pro
ducer*. as a matter of self-preservation,
have cut down expenses and will not
cut so many trees this year, In the
hope that a smaller supply will com
mand better prices. Buyers will not
be convinced that euoh is the case, but
when the middle of the season arrives,
if tlie present evidences do not prove
false, there will be a bound in prices
all around that will astonish them. At
this time last year rosins were bring
ing from $1.05 to $2.75. Now the mar
kets are $1.0j^ to $2.55. The reaction
will, it is thought, more than compen
sate producers for the loss incurred by
these loar prices.
THE PICRIC !
A Day of Great Enjoyment to the
young and Grown Cp Child*en
The Union Sunday School Picnic at
the Fair Grounds, 'Thursday, was an
immense success, as they always are.
About four hundred attended, and
not'one single incident occurred calcu
lated to mnr the perfect enjoyment of
the day. The officers of the various
Sunday Schools of the city united with
others interested in pleasant plans for
the children’s entertainment.
The welkiu literally rang with the
songs and shouts of the children at
play.
Swings hung in nearly every part of
the beautiful grove, aud swinging
proved as popular a pleasure for chil
dren as when in pioneer days the girls
and boys improvised swings of hang
ing grape vines.
The tables were long, and fairly
groaned under the abundaut feast Uiat
was spread for the delighted multitude.
Every substantial and delicacy of the
season, embracing the genuine Geor
gia barbecued meats and a variety ot
ices, were there in wasteful quantities,
lu fact, the good housewives of Alba
ny and Dougherty county fully sus
tained their reputation on the occas
ion.
The day was a perfect one, and the
choice of those who had the picnic un
der their management could not have
fallen on a more auspicious one.
The children lingered until the
shadows of the trees on the river banks
had lengthened until their heads lay
on the other shore before they desert
ed the beautiful scene of such a happy
occasion.
A Depot Thief.
For years there has been petty thiev
ing on the railroads and in the
depots, and the annoyance and loss
occasioned by this haveenforcedavery
close watch on the part of the railroad
employes. Monday at noon, Mr.
Bud Atkinson, of the Southwestern
railroad, observed suspicious conduct
on tlie part of Squire Davis, a colored
employe of the Southwestern, and no
tified Officer James to s tadow him.'
Officer James intercepted Squire Davis*
path ns he was ou his way to dinner,
and observed that Ills coat was bulged
out, indicating secreted plunder. The
Negro denied having anything con
cealed on his person, but an investiga
tion discovered some ciockery, which
the guilty Negro confessed to have
stolen from a package in tlie freight
house that was in bad order from liav-
passed through a wreck.
The offender was taken to jail, where
he now languishes In durance vile.
Commercial Bank of Albany.
The Directors of the Commercial
Bank of ^Albany held a meeting, on
Friday evening, and completed an or
ganization with the view of opening
the bank for business at an early day.
Mr. T. M. Carter had been previ
ously elected President, and on Friday
evening Mr. L. E. Welch was elected
Cashier and Mr. T. M. Ticknor Teller
and Book-keeper.
A better selection of officers could
not have been made, and the new bank
wllTbegin business an*ler most favor
able auspices. The News and Adver
tiser is one of the many friends of
Mr. Welch who feel gratified at his elec
tion as Cashier. There ts not a man In
Albany more worthy of this expression
of confidence than he, and the Direc
tors of the Commercial Bank have
honored themselves In honoriug him.
At the Methodist church, at half
past 8 o’clock on last Thursday night,
Miss CoraMLcarty was united in mar
riage to Mr.C. C. Moore,the Rev. Bas-
coru Anthony performing the ceremo
ny.
Although no invitations had been
sent out, the church was comfortably
filled by the friends and acquaintances
of the contracting parties.
After they bad been pronounced
man and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Moore
proceeded to the residence of Mrs. S.
F. Lehman, where a reception was
held.
Mr. Moore is one of the self-made
young business men of Albany, and
Ills fair bride is tbe daughter of Mrs.
M. R. McClarty, and sister of police
man W. A. McClarty.
The News and Advertiser joins
the many friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Moore in extending congratulations
upon the important step they have
taken, and wishes them a long life of
unalloyed happiness.
On Thursday night a crowd of our
Hebrew young people engaged Prof.
BeeTs Africo-Italian band and seren
aded quite a number of our citizens.
When they reached die home of Mr. J.
Lorch, he, with his usual hospitality,
iuvited them in, and refreshments were
served. After spending an hour most
pleasantly at Mr. Lorch’s, the merry
crowd proceeded to Mr. Sam Mayer’s,
where they were again invited In. It
did not take much persuasion ou Mr.
Mayer’s part to get the serenaders to
join In a dance, which lasted until hall
past twelve, when refreshments were
again served, and tlie happy partici
pants turned their face homeward.
The serenaders weht, Julius Peritz
with Miss Mattie Mayer; Henry Als-
burg with Mbs Sophie Yossen; James
Weiss with Miss Emma Wesolowsky;
M. Rosenthal with Miss Fannie
Harris; I. Deveries with Miss Gussie

stated, in Memphis.
The honey moon was of short duration
and loves young dream was dispelled
by Effibry deserting his wife ot a few
days in Atlanta, taking with him all
her money, leaving her destitute and
wretched, indeed, so she writes.
To intensify tbe unhappy frame of
mind in which this wretch left his
wife, a letter was received by her
from another woman, stating that she
(the writer), was Embry’s lawful wife.
These two women have been Impos
ed upon most shamefully, and the
happiness of their lives blasted by this
gay and wicked Lothario.
Mrs. T. L. Embry No. 2, formerly
Mrs. Dixie HaygooJ, expresses her de
termination, in the letter to this Al
bany gentleman, of having Embry ar
rested and prosecuted fc-r bigamy and
theft, and It is to be hoped that lie may
be brought to condign punishment for
his high crimes.
T. L. Embry is a young man of
about twenty-two years of age, of low
statue, bright blue eyes, anil pleasant
address. For more than a year lie
acted In the capacity of clerk at the
Artesian House in this city, and made
friends here who will Ik* gr. ally sur

conduct since leaving, iu February of
this year.

Well, all Albany is invited down to

instant. If we cau’t go down as schools
a great many individuals will likely go.
In order that all who may desire to
go Will feel that they are welcome, the
following kind letter is published:
Sumner, Ga., May 12th, 1888.
Mr. J. S. Davis, Superintendent Baptist
Sunday School, Albany, Ga.:
Tiie Secretary of the Worth County
Sunday School Association requests me
to write this note to enquire “if the
Sunday Schools of Albany understand
that they are invited to take part in the
annual celebration of the Association
at tlie Tabernacle, at Poulan. on Sat
urday, the 26th, inst?” • If not, they
are cordially invited to do so, and if
they cannot attend in a body, indi
vidual members will be thrice wel
come. Come down, and make us hap
py by your good cheer. 31 r. H. H.
Herri ng is tlie Secretary, and he would
be glad to know if the school* will
come, so notice can be made in next
Saturday’s Local. Let us know at the
earliest possible moment. Respectful
ly, B. F. Allkn.
Albany Cow Boy*.
Albany has a regularorgauized band
of cow’ boys. Their mischief is not as
malicious or fatal as that of tlie cod-
boys of tlie plains, but they are as effi
cient in their line, lit proportion to
their size.
‘Tills band is tlie outgrowth of tlie city
cow ordinance, prohibiting cows from
runniug at large. The Marshal let it
be know’n after the ordinance went
into effect that a part of the impound
ing fee would be paid to any one who
delivered a stray cow- at the pound.
About a dozen boys,ranging from C to
12 years, supplied themselves with
lassos, in tlie use of which they had
grown proficient, imitating the Mexi
can, who caught and rode tlie wild
ponies sold here by Hamilton, the
Texas horse drover.
Many people neglected to keep np
their cattle for the firs.; few days that
the ordinance went into effect, and tlie
boys had a picnic. They roamed tlie
streets in gangs, in quest of cows.
When one was discovered, it was
lassoed, and the'fun began. With in
trepidity worthy of older people, these
boys would lasso the wildest animal,
and with that persistence character
istic of the Albany small boy, would
worry it into tame acquiesence, when It
would be triumphantly led to the
pound.
The family cow would be quietly
browsing in die range of the watchful
eyes of the household, when suddenly
tlie yell of the cow boys was heard on
the stilly air, and the inoffending ani
mal. would be lassoed and led off a vic
tim of their desire to make ten cents.
Two of the small boys of a promi
nent citizen’s household, after captur
ing all they could on the streets, turn
ed out their father’s calf and proceed
ed to catch it. Having secured it,
they boldly started for the ponud with
tbe bucking embryo steer, but were in
tercepted by an attache of the house
hold and coerced Into surrendering it.
Paterfamilias doubtlesss felt disposed
to administer the rod of correction, but
the incident provoked such merriment
that It was condoned for that one time.
The vigilance of the cow boys had
the effect of early enforcing a rigid
observance of the ordinance, and now
their occupation Is gone.
only ashre'
but that he is also a murderer. Th<
story of his career before he turned ttf
in Albany and Thnmasviile is briefly
told as follows in tlie Atlanta Consti
tution of Sunday:
. In tbe old letter book at police head*
quarters is a circular with tlie flaming
headline, “$16,000 reward,” and un
derneath it are the photographs of four
men.
The printed letter goes on to tellof a
great fur robbery tu the latter part ol
January, ’87. Six thou .-and dollars*
worth of sealskiu cloaks had been
taken from a store in Cleveland, and
on February 3, Kid Kennedy, one of
tbe robber?, arid witiial one of tbe
most notorious and successful crooks
lu tlie country, was arrested in Pitts-
burg.
Two days later lie was in charge of
Deiective Hulligan aud Capt. Hoehn
on his was to Cicvelaud.
As the traiu rolled into the little
town of Ravenna, O., tour men board
ed the train and rescued Kennedy. In
the light both Hatcher and Hulligan
were shot, aud from the effects of his
wounds Hulligan died toiirdays later.
Kennedy and the other four men es
caped, and struck out toward the
South. The men with Kei. netly were
tlie ones whose pictures are on the let
ter at the station house, and for whose
arrest l here was a reward of $16,000.
Soon after this a number ot robber
ies were committed in and about
Thomasville aud Albany, and the
work was evidently tiiat of an expert.
A sheriff** posse came up on tlie rob
ber at Bacwuton, aud a fight ensued, in
which the sheriff was shot,' and the
burglar, escaped. He was caught soon
afterward in Thomas county, tried lor
burglary aud sentenced tor twenty
years. He. was a young man, 25 years
of age, light complexion, square
shoulders, ami slightly bowleggeu.
He left Atlanta with Penitentiary
Guard Turner for Dade coal mines on
Wednesday, May 4, aud has been at
the mines ever since.
Now about a month ago Detective
John T. Norris, of Ohio, came to At
lanta. He lounged about police head
quarters for a* few days, made himself
generally agreeable, and then left.
D.iy before yesterday Powell, or
Palmer, the Thomas county burglar,
was arrested at the mine bv Detective
Norris, and there is little doubt that
Kid Kennedy, the Ohio fur robber,
and Palmer are one aud the same.
This explains, verj* satisfactorily, the
detective’s trip to Georgia. Palmer
lias saved his neck by the sentence ol
twenty years in the penitentiary, and
at the same time his discovery lias
saved the neck of Blinky Morgan, a
famous crook and one of t>>c four men
that rescued Kennedy or Paliuer. He
was caught and tried for tlie murder
of Defective Hulligan at Ravenna.
He obtained a new trial, aud upon
hearing a few days ago he was given a
third trial by the Supreme Gourt ol
Ohio. He says tiiat he never did the
killing, and that Kennedy, himself, is
Huiligau’s murderer.
Meantime, he is serving a term of
twenty years in the coal mines, with
the prospects of a trial for murder
soon as he is released.

Albany fat Art and Flaral Fair,
From the Mille-lgetilie Union and Recorder.
The ladies of Hilledgeyille are far
behind those of her sister cities, of less
population, in Floral and Art compe
tition. A few days ago the ladies ot
Albany, Ga., married and single, bad
a competitive exhibition, or Art and
Floral Fair, which was most success
ful, and afforded a great deal of pleas
ure to participants and visitors. We
notice that Mrs. Janie Weston Chap
man of this city took a premium for
the best portrait in crayon. We would
be pleased to see-a similar Fair Asso
ciation established in Mllledgevilie.
Our talented and industrious ladies
young and old, should aspire to some
thing more elevating and improving
than oyster suppers and ice cream fes
tivals. There were a great manv ba
bies at the Fair, but President McIn
tosh thought it wise not to offer a pre
mium for the prettiest baby, so that
every mother cotfid go home* in a good
humor, still believing hers to be the
prettiest.

The Albany Art ai.d Floral Fair
ASHOciaiiou.
The success of the first fair of the
Albany Artand Floral Fair Association
has, as those who first enlisted in. the
enterprise hoped it would, assured a
loug lease of life to tlie Art and Floral
Fair Association, with annual fairs in
the future. Not only are tiiose who
identified themselves with the first
fair fully alive to the importance of
peqicttiating the organization, but
maiiy wiio contributed nothing more
than the price of a season ticket to this.
Fair have voluntarily promised to be
exhibitors and workers in the next.
Our own people never hail anything
like a just conception of what the Art
and Floral Fair was going to be until
they saw it. They were all surprised
at the brilliant display of Art and
Flowers, and tbe fine impression thus
made upon our own people at the first
Fair will stimulate them and inspire
them with confidence for the future.
All those who had previously joined
the Association, or who made exhibits
at the first Fair and paid the entrance
fee of $1, are now members of the Art
and Floral Fair Association,and will be
entitled toall the priviliges of member
ship until the end of the first year of
the Association’s existence, the 1st of
November next. A meeting of the As
sociation will be called some time dur
ing the present month for the purpose
of bearing the reports Ql officers and
closing np all the business of tbe first
Fair, and taking such action as may
be deemed advisable looking to anoth
er lair next spring. The Association
is oat of debt and has a balance in Its
treasury, and will be better organized
and equipped In. every way for its
second fair than It was for tbe first.

ECHOES OF THE PICNIC.
—AH the children say tiiat they
never spent a pleasanter day id their
lives.
—-Gus.' Muse looked as fresh the day
after the picnic, as lie did the day be
fore. He must be made of indefati
gable material.
—Tom Clayton.added spice and va
riety to the occasion by introducing
tbe time-honored game of “fox and
geese,” to relieve the ever-pleasant
monotony of “many, many stars.”
—Mr. W. H. Gilbert was ou the
scene .but a short time, being unable to
leave his busine®?, but he improved
each shining moment, for he was there
at diliner time. The consequence—
he doubtless was tlie best customer his
apothecary shop had, yesterday.
—As a rope jumper. Rev. Bascom
Anthony is a phenomenal success. In
early years he must have practiced
jumping fences to the neighbors’
watermelon patches. Tom .Cox would
be an expert aud agile jumper, too, il
lie did not have so much to lift up ofl
the ground.
—3Iajor W. H. Wilder looked be
nignly on the gay and festive scene,
lending a hand whenever he could con
tribute to enliauce the dhy’s pleasures.
A union Sunday School picnic iu Al
bany without Major Wilder would
seem a tame affait, and impress every
body tiiat something was lacking.
—Judge Z.. J. Odom Is a regular
wheel-horse in the strength and effi
ciency of his efforts at planning and
executing for the children’s pleasure.
Every little girl on the grouuds wanted
the Judge to swing her, and at night
he dragged his weary frame homeward
doubtless humming the while,
I would not lire always
if life bad many picnic days.
—The day afforded a sweet experi
ence, and the * unniversal verdict was,
“well spent.” The cooling shade of
the virgin forest on tlie beautiful
banks of the winding stream, is s
pleasant retreat from life’s busy cares,
and the older people enjoyed it equal
with the romping children. It was
not a day of meaningless mirth or ob
jectless pleasure, but, being under the
auspices of the Sunday Schools, it
brought the children to realize that
Christians study to bring all legiti
mate pleasures within the enjoyment
of even those who try not to conform
to the worid. The manifestation of
joy, and tlie indulgence of innocent
pleasures are not only compatible with
a consistent Christian life, but it is in
cumbent on Christians to cultivate
cheerfulness to the end or enforcing j»
recognition of tiie contentment aud joy
afforded by the hope that illuminates
their lives.

.Hr*. Andrew Dari*, a Former
Resident of Albany, Die* iu At

The sad intelligence of the death of
Mrs.Andrew Davis,a formerresidentnf

Friday. Mrs. Davis was tiie mother of
3Irs. John D. Gilbert, of this city, and
of Mrs. James G. Hester, of Atlanta.
For months Mrs. Davis had been in
declining health, and her death, while
greatly grieving her, loved ones, was
no sudden surprise. She died at the
residence ot her son-in-law, Captain
James G. Hester, ol Atlanta, with
whom she had made her home for
many years past.
X rs. Davis was an estimable lady,
and lmd a host of friends in this city
among her associates of years that are
goue^ The modesty, dignity and
truth of her character endeared her to
those who knew her.
Her remains were brought to Al
bany for interment, and were laid to
rest by the ashes of her husband who
pieceded her many years to that mys
terious realm entered through death’s
dark doorway. He held positions of
honor and trust in this community.

Kiflicit* Anniversary of their
,'Tlurriuge.
Thursday was the fiftieth anniversary
of the marriageof Col. and Mrs. Nelson
Tift. This is the second couple of Al
bany’s oldest and most highly respect
ed citizens who have recently reached
their golden wedding day, Mr. and
Mrs. H. J. Cook having passed the
fiftieth anniversary of their marriage
on the 26th of last month.
Col. and Mrs. Tift did not cele
brate their golden wedding, bqt
some of their young friends and rela
tives, nnwilling to let tiie day pass
without complimenting the venerable
couple in some way. organized a band
of musicians and gave them a serenade
at night.
Tlie serenaders were invited into the
house and refreshments were served
by Col. Tift aud bis brideof half a cen-
tury.
The News and Advertiser joins
the many relatives and friends of Col.
and Mrs. Tift in congratulating them
upon teaching the fiftieth anniversary
of their wedding—a blessing that but
few couples, comparatively speaking,
ever enjoy. And it may be truly said of
Col. and Mrs. Tift that the filty years
that God has given them together have
been profitably spent; for to-day they
have children, grand children aud
great grand children to honor them,'
and are blessed with plenty.
The cold winds of tiie past few days

This is cool weather for the middle
of May. The hail that fell In oar
county on last Saturday brought about
the cool spell. The rain in places was
heavy. Tbe cool nights give a sickly
appearance to the cotton plants. Oats
are being harvested.
Miss Mattie Thornton, of Thomas

tended the picnic. Mrs. T. A. Acree
was there too. Miss Thornton has
gone out In East Mitchell to spend
sometime with her sister, Mrs. Horton

Tlie picnic on last Friday was
grand success. Tbg crowd was im
mense. The day was one of tbe fairest
and brightest. Not a thing happened
to mar the enjoyableness and harmony
of the occasion. The waters were
placid, and the boats moved nicely and
nothing occurred to detract from or
interfere with love and matrimony.

and comfort.
The Rev. E. B. Carroll and family,
instead of attending the picnic here on
Friday, went, In response to an earn
est invitation, to a picnic at Hickory
Head church, in Brooks county. He
reports a splendid time down
there. Who would not go when
brethren and friends write. “Come;
bring all your family, It shall not cost
you aceut.”
The Camilla Cornet Band, as nsuai,
led by Prof. Baldwin and assisted by
3Iorris*Rosenthal and Lennie Baldwin,
of the Artesian City, added greatly to
the occasion. The band bad just
and deserved compliments paid
them. “By music minds an equal
temper know.” Nothing like music
can drive dull cares away—no accom
plishment more to be desired.
The dinner was just such as was cal
culated to please and satisfy the most
fastidious. The table 150 feet long
was freighted with something of every
thing, known to this climate, tiiat is
good to the taste. As to quantity,
three times the number present would
not have made way with it. Your cor
respondent will refer yon to those
present from your own city.
At night came the play “Ten Nights
in a Barroom.” Your correspon

A Sunday Barbecue Interrupted.
A party of “the boys’’ about town
made extensive preparations for a bar
becue,last Suuday,atthe Fair Grounds.
Three negroes were dispatched to bar-
liecue tiie shout which was to furnish
tlie meat for the occasion. They re
paired to the north end of the Fair
Grounds and selected a spot just out
side, in tiie field of Colonel Nelson
Tift, under the umbrageous boughs of
the wide-spreading oaks, to cook the
pig. Digging a trench, they bnsled
themselves with tlie preparations for
tiie feast.
About 10 o’clock, .when tlie meat
was about half cooked, the ominous
bellow of a roving bull was heard
close at hand. Shortly his huge bulk
was discerned through the utidei:-
brush, and, sniffing the breeze tainted
with tbe appetizing aroma of the roast-
Ing pig, he approached the scene.
When within a few feet he halted to
survey the field, and, bellowing loudly,
pawed the earth iu rage. Two of the
Negroes quailed before the glaring
eyeballs, aud fled incontinently, tak
ing to trees. The other concluded
to fight it out with the enraged beast
with hot embers, and as he rushed to
the attack emptied a shovelful ot coals
and ashes into his face. Shaking them
off, taurus made another attack, only
to encounter another shower of em
bers. Thus the assault and defense
was couuftcted until all the coals
had tieen wasted, and tbe Negro was
hopping from one side of the pit to the
other with the now thoroughly en
raged bull close upon bis heels.
The bull won the fight, for it was
with considerable difficulty the cook
made his escape, leaving the half-
cooked pig to the mercies of the bull.
The best walked around tiie carcas
and. smelling it, would bellow furi
ously, pawing the earth the while.
He finally spied tiie J^wo negroes in
saplings hard by, and butted tiie bark
off trying to shake tbe frightened men
from their perch.
While his bullship’s attention was
thus diverted, tiie Negro who made the
stand against his onslaught, crept
around and caught hold of the foot of
the blistering-hot pig. The bull was on
tlie qui vice, aud observed the rescuer*
of.lhe barbecued shoat just as he laid,
his hand upon it. Then there was fun!
The bull right behind the fleeing negro,
who ran with a handful of almost in
sufferably hot meat. The chase was an
exciting one,and just as the negro pass
ed through a crack in the Fair Ground
fence, his bullship made a pass at him.
But tbe Negro was safe, and so was
the meat, if he did blister his hands in
rescuing it.
The treed Negroes were finally re
leased from their perilous positions by
the bull abandoning the field of bis
conquest, and the preparations pro
ceeded without further molestations.

This increase in stock woald necessi

What Am I To Do?
The symptoms of Biliousness are
unhappily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has an excclent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if It is not white and furred,
it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation
may be a symptom or the two may al-
aiternatc. There are often Hemor
rhoids or even loss of blood. There
may be giddiness and often headache
and acidity or flatulence and tenderness
in the pit of the stomach. To correct
all this if not effect a cure try Green's
August Flower, it costs but a trifle and
thousands attest its efficacy.
