N.J CRUGER, Albany should build a railroad by all means. With the Columbus South ern as a western connection, and an in dependent line to Florida, Albany could make her railroad pay. The News and Advertiser staff had an iuvitation to join in the refresh ments tendered the Guards on their ar rival Tuesday night, but we had to de cline as we never “anticipate.” Attention is directed to the last no tice to tax payeis to return their prop erty to the county tax receiver. Dt linquents had best beware, for their taxes will be doubled if not returned. The little children arc now count ing the days until the next annual Union Sunday School picnic with that same anxiety with which they look to the annual return of the Christmas time. Tuk members of the Albany Guards and their friends are loud in praise of the hospitality they enjoyed in Macon. Mr. Jake Uenko was especially kind, and the boys hold Iu grateful remem brance his many courtesies. One line of railroad in the absolute control of the city of Albany, would be worth a dozcu run by foreign corpora tions. It would be a lever by which we could pry ourselves over the fence into tiic land of brightest promise. The farmers of the country are very greatly pleased at the prospects of the multiplication of tbe lines of railroads through the country, for across be tween a locomotive and a common cow greatly improves the value of the is sue.

The fall oats are good every where and the oat crop generally will prove sufficient, but there to a certain per cent, of the acreage in oats that was of spring planting that will do but little. Our farmers should learn now, once for all, that the fall planting in sures a good crop of oats, while the spring planting multiplies th« doubts and dangers. Mrs. M, C.

Cocke, of Lee coun ty, was united In marriage to Miss Minnie Huff, of Macon. The ceremony was performed at the residence of Dr. Lee in Dover, the Rev. Mr. Clark officiating. The marriage was a very quiet one, necessarily so, as Miss Huff’s guardi an was bitterly opposed to the match and had done everything in hto power to prevent it. They had met about a year ago and their association developed that inde scribable, but tteong feeling of love. They, were not long in discovering that Cupid had touchedthe tender spot with each qf them, and they at once sought tliensuai means of gratifying this pow erful sense of love in the bonds of wedded bliss. But tbe barrier that often cleaves asunder the silken tie, stood in their way. Miss Huff’s guanlton bitterly opposed the union. This was discovered mouths ago, but determined not to be outdone, they quietly separated, satis fied to bide their time, looking for a convenient opportunity to cast thtir lots together. Miss Huff, for some time, has been teachiug school at Dover, in Terrell county, and her term having closed, she went last week^to the home of her guardian In Macon. She had not been there but a short while when she was reminded that she had to return to Dover to settle some busi ness affairs. No thought of the cares of the school room were suggested to her mind, but being free to act as she liked, she immediately notified her patient lover that she would be in Dawson last Wednesday. As soon as Mr. Cocke re ceived the message he board ed the train and was soon by the side of his loved one. They at once began to make arrangements for the happy nuptials, an 1 after several days* planning, scheming, Ac., they finally consummated the happy event as above related. It has been kept a profound secret, for as soon as they were married they left for the home of Mr. Cocke near Leesburg. It was not known in the city until yesterday, when Mr. Cocke came In on business,'and, announcing to hto friends the result of hto es< pade, received their congratulations. The News and Advertiser joins the friends of Mr. Cocke in wishing for him aud his fair bride long years of happiness aud prosperity. In fllay Attire. News and Advertiser: Iu a recent inoruing ramble through tiie suburban parts of the city, l could not but regret that the session of the first Chautauqua Assembly was not held in May instead of March. The delight of our Northern friends and visitors would have been greatly heightened in viewing the Artesian City with its wealth of bright homes aud cultured grouuds In this, the most charming month of all the twelve. The long Hues of massive shade, the grass-fringed and pleasant drives, so grateful to the senses during the day, are all the more charming wl*eu mel lowed by unclouded moonlights and the. balmy breezes nightly blowing from the distant coast. Albany has many attractions for the visiting stranger, lingering within her gates, but none that leave more lasting impressions than the quiet beauty of her home life, where culture, com fort and good taste are evinced ou every hand. L have placed a stranger impress upon these attractions after meeting upon the stieets, some familiar face that had been absent for years, yet, impelled by some mysterious influence, some Ramitingmemory, had returned to former scenes, if only for a transit ory renewal of old associations. The mental composition of that man to not to be envied who can enjoy, for years, a citizenship of Albany and, de parting for the land of the stranger, cherish no emotion of regret nor— “Cast one longing, lingeringlook behind.*’ A list of parties could be enumerated who have, within the past few years, left Albany with the purpose of never retu ruing. Some of these wanderers, like Japhet In search of a father, are “home again from a foreign shore,” not only home, but holding, at this writing, permanent abiding places in our midst, while others, from their self-imposed exile, pay periodical vis*to to the Artesiau City witli the regularity and devotiou of pilgrims to some sacred shrine of the Orient. If many places, of which we read, have, In verity, entered upon eras of prosperity, why to it that one sees, al most daily, foot-sore stragglers hailing from these EMorados, telling quits a different! story and seeking the most menial employment in Albany? The senses are appalled with the pa per fortunes of Oklahoma,the luxuriant gardens of Western Kansas, the Edens of Texas, the florid pictures of which are familiar to all. It matters but little as to any partic ular location if one will pursue his calling with persevering industry and is duly impressed with the common- sense philosophy that when doing pos sibly weil it were best to let well enough alone. S. The Worth County Sunday School Association held its annual convention at Poulau, Friday. This occasion to one of the greatest pleasure and profit, and all who are privileged to enjoy it, carry away such delightful recollections of it that they want to be at all the subsequent ones. The writer wanted very much to be present, and deeply regretted the physical infirmity that precluded the possibility of hto safe attendance. Thp good people of Worth are among the most delightful companions, and they always study to entertain pleasantly all who visit their Sunday School celebrations. The New§ and Apvertxser is specially gratified at the very fine results of the Sun day School work done In that sec tion, and trusts that time may only confirm the earnest workers in their zeal, and multiply the evidences of good results ou every hand. Worth is a fine county, and he** people are a noble people. There to some difference of opinion expressed as to the effect of the dry weather in this section. It is a bad drought that knocks fish in the head, and such must damage the growing ctops. The News and Advertiser will still maintain its original position, If we should have rain shortly, no In jury to the main body ot the crops will result. But to such corn crops as have not been properly worked great damage will result.

A Iluii foi Life. A singular occurrence was reported by Mr. William Key, of Colquitt county, who was In the city, Thurs day. On hto way. to the city accom panied by Mr. Lenny Willis, about 9 miles from the city, he saw a cow and steer that had fought until their horns had become so securely locked that, being unable to extricate them, each lay panting upon the ground. The two companions used all their strength in trying to loose them, bat without avail. One went to the - house of Mr. Braswell, near by, and secured saw with which the two ani mals were separated. Mr. Jim Pope, who had come up at that juncture, was lending them a helping hand. As soon as extricated, the cow rose to her feet and started after him with all the speed possessed by an unfuriated beast. Pope quickly apprehended hto peril and off he put, jumping bushes like a deer. After a very liyely chase, that was anything but pleasant, Mr. Pope effected his escape. Tbe Excur*i»n trom Branatlick l»Tlil» t’Ujr Indulges a Free Fight *u the Ke nt r n Trip. Meagre accounts ot a terrible row that occurred on the return trip of the Negro excursion from Brunswick and along the line of the S., F. & W. R’y, to Albany, on Monday, reached this city on Tuesday, but nothing re liable could be gathered. The Bruns wick Times gives an account of the serious racket as lollows Several drunken white men were on board and attempted to pick quarrels with the negro* hut met with no suc cess until the train .had neared Willa- cirvhee, when some persons from the xitolde fired iuto the train and struck a egm on the wrist. This st tried the >w and the whites couim«* $•*« i firing prquiiscsiii'ly iuto the iu the coach. Instantly many pistols flashed out and the tire was quickly returned with bad effect. Oae of the whites was struck and the others began to cave in. The negroes saw the advantage they gained and rushed down upon them The whites were overpowered, and it is said, were thrown off the train, while it was rnnnlng at the rate of 25 miles an hour. One of the negroes was Inclined to be friendly towards the whites and attempted to pull the he-1 line in order to stop the train and pick them np. Seeing his action of the others rushed down on him and The flower gardens of Albany were never more beautiful than' this season. The plants bloomed protusely, and at tained to a degree of perfection rarely equaled in former years. It to a sub ject of remark by all strangers,' that Albany has flowers in greater profusion and perfection than auy other city of the South. A lady who visited friends in this city last spring, said that after the rose gsidens of Italy she had never seen such beautiful ones as Albany contaiued. Our people all loye flow ers, and it to a fair index to their re fined natures. The parents of the city are surrounding their childreu with the influences of the true, the good and the beautiful, and the effect will be seen through all their after lives. Life Is what we make it, aud we can enjoy the pleasures and delights that the beautiful affords as a diversion from the cares that business brings. It insures longevity, and brig buns paths that may prove very irksome without. Our citizens were delighted with small shower Sunday. About noon the dark, overhanging clouds yielded slight shower, that was followed by another in the afternoon. The rain was very slight iu the city, but parties who were out in the country report a hard, general rain, that ex tended as far as u ithin three miles of the city. This was a great relief to the farmers. The main attraction on the streets, Saturday afternoon was' a brid&—nota fair bride, blushing in her modesty and demure iu her manners, retiring from the scrutiny of the public gaze— but a dusky, saffron-hued, ebony- colored bride, decidedly Africo-Ameri- cantn her tendencies. Her costume was most unique, and she seemed fresh from the feast. The odor of aromatic musk cologne followed in her wake, while a white satin sash, with long tas sels,streamed in graceful profusion like the folds of a bridal veil from her head. She wore an O-shaped bodice of pore white silk,trimtned with yellow flounce while the flowing folds of the muslin skirt lent additional beauty to her costume and her dainty figure. The basque was cut O-shaped because it had no particular regard for patterns or styles, but merely encircled her womaulv form like an iron ring around plough liilc. She had five cents worth of stick candy, with which to while away the honey-moon, or sugar moon, as the case may be, and leaned gracefully upon the arm of her maid of honor, who had followed her into the city to act as a support while the en croachments of a new pair of shoes made a number ten foot iu a number seven shoe an example of misplaced confidence. She catue in qu the excur sion and returned lust night on the B. & \V. road. Who Will it Be? Conjecture to rife as to who, from the file of the G'tards, will be exalted to the rauk of Junior Second Lieutenant. There are several men in the company who would grace the position, but the the qualification most essential to an abiding Interest In the company. Several have been spoken of promin ently In this connection, but it can not be known until afterthe election next Tuesday night. The Albany Guards occupy the first place in the affection of our people, there are deathless memories that en circle as a vignette its beloved name.

It to but natural that the public should manifest a lively in terest in such an organization, and conjecture freely as to who will be elected to officer the company. Cautions to mothers.

The wounded were carried out and counted when it was found that one was cut iu theside, oue was beaten in the head and two were shot, oue in the abdomiuai re gions and the other in the wrist and leg. The wounded were taken off and sent back np the road and the excur sionists came on to Brunswick, arriv ing here about daylight yesterday morning. The crowd of excursionists was very quiet and orderly while in this city, tmt .we are not snrprtoed to learn of tbe affair, as on nearly every excursion such diversion as shooting people is ndulged. Life to whatiwe make it. The con firmed pessimist sees ouly the bad In what is around him. The miser’s portion is misery, and he suspects every oue of designs upon his gold. The discourteous man is paid in dis courtesy. The fact to the world is seen in the light iu which wc view it. The charitable mau extracts tiie com fort of sweet sympathy with hto mood from any condition. There is much good iu what we are frequently dis posed to consider altogether bad, and if we would but give uieu credit for half the good they intend, we would remove many rough stones from the path of their earthy pilgrimage. Men are too prone to seek virtue for what it will bring rattier than for virtue itsell, not appreciating the fact that virtue to Its own reward, and that it opens up a heaven within the mind of its i*ossessor. The elements of charac ter are in reality the only permanent possession; Riches and temporal com forts may take unto themselves wings and fly away, but he who has the treasure of a good character, possesses that of which the vicissitudes of time nor death itself can rob him. It is a possession worth more than all the temporalities and it is iu reality some thing that a man can bank upon. A creditor who leans for reliance upon the incorruptible integrity of a debtor, enjoys at least a security in feelingthat a mortgagee of perishable property can never experience. If we complain that men have withdrawn from us their confidence, let us examine and see if they have not sufficient cause. The hardships ot life are too frequently the ships on which we take voluntary passage, and the breakers and aud reefs which threaten our trail crafts are too frequently known to exist In the course we wil lingly pursue. There are misfortunes which seem to be directed against ns by a purpose that aim* at our purifica tion. It takes fire at white heat to burn out the dross of gold, and some characters require the white heat of affliction to purify them. But with every such affliction vtoted upon him who to sustained by an unfalter ing trust in an all-wise Providence comes grace to bear, and even to ex tract from it a measure of comfort. To some misfortune is hurtful, to oth ers it is helpful. The deadly hemlock and the nutritious big, grow side by side in the same soil. Just so it de pends upon the nature of tiie man as to whether there will be more shadow than sunshine in hto life. Tlae .Tlarshal or Tifton .HeetR Hi* Death at the Hand* of a Ju*- tlce of the Peace. Saturday afternoon about 6 o’clock Engineer Clements, who runs a pas senger train on the B. & X V. road, ar rived In tiie city and brought the news of a terrible conflict and final murder, between two citizens of Tifton. The participants were Mr. Jake Young, a Justice of the Peace, and Mr. Arch Golden, the marshal of Tif ton. The cause of the trouble to briefly told as follows: A warrant had been Issued by Justice Young for the arrest of a negro who was working with the bridge gang on the B. & IV. road. The negro was ar- ^ted and carried before the Justice, and, being bound over for the offense, committed, hto bond was assessed at $25 00. The foreman of the bridge gang agreed to go the bond by putting np tbe money, but the Justice refused to accept ft, ordering the negro to jail. Golden, the marshal, then refused to place the negro in jail, claiming that sufficient bond had been offered. This caused a fight, in which Young, the Justice, suffered. Not satisfied with hto drubbing, the justice after wards renewed the fight, in which Golden, the marshal, suffered. This seemed to anger both parties to such an extent that the fight was again re newed. During the last encounter, Young the Justice of the Peace,’ran into the telegraph office and grabbed a pistol. A friend seeing that he had the weapon urged him not to shoot, as Golden was one of hto best friends. He would not heed the advice, but fired twice at Golden, one ball entered the forehead and the other the breast, kill ing him instantly. At last accounts no arrest had been made.

The Weather. Thto hackneyed subject is ever with us, hut a few remarks on it at thto time seems very seasonable. The fact to, the weather to sadly out of joint, whether it is the relative posi tion of the heavenly bodies that is exerting such a baneful influence on thto mundane sphere of jours, we can’t say. But this we do know, that if their conjunctions are the cause,we wish the time to speedily come when they will get back to their, appointed place, that the weather may assume its normal serenity. storms, but then the dry weather to growing monotonous. The east wind that has prevailed through the past few days has been very disagreeable, hurtful both to vegetable aged. The melon crop is looking well, and animal life. The nights are cool and nnhealthful. From time immemorial tiie east wind has been dreaded, for it brings pestilence and death, which ii scatters in its wake. Let us hope for an early change. This continued dry weather will destroy the bloom aud freshness of spring that we have so enjoyed this sea son, if rain does not quickly come. • , -« , Some of our gardeners are luxuriat ing In the tender roasting ear.

An Excellent Product Peculiar to Southwest Georgia. Nature was in her most fruitful mood when thto section was formed, and the conditions for the growth and perfect maturity of fruits and vegetables were excellently ordered. In addition to the cultivated fruits of this section, the woods abound in what the housekeep ers have converted into tbe greatest delicacies that supply their tables. The huckleberry and blackberry, which are found in the greatest profu sion in our fields and forests, are them selves proff of the bounty of nature, but, as a special mark of favor, the May haw, found only in a limited area of Southwest Georgia, has been added to the wonderful provision made for tbe people of this favored section. The May haw to a product of South west Georgia that Is held In high esteem by our people. It to indigenous to thto section, and to not known except with in a scope of country about thirty miles square. The tree on which it grows Is of a bushy growth, and the haw itself is very similar in appearance to the cran berry, differing in color, being of a more yellowish caste. The fruit ma tures in May, as the name indicates, and to principally used in making jelly, one of the table delicacies most prized by our housekeepers. The peculiar acidity of Us juice, combined with its other estimable properties, bring it Into great request for making jelly, which is consistent, brightly transpa rent, of rich ruddy color, and of a very agreeable taste. A like quantity of May haws will yield more jelly than any other known fruit. At this season of the year, the city in the early morning is vocal with the cry: “Wanterbuy eny May’aws?” Negroes gather them in quantities, and find easy sale for them with the thrifty housewives of the city. They are held In high appreciation by the house keepers of other cities, to whom friends in the city ship them. After they be come plentiful, tbe ruling price is $1 per bushel, and the money they bring helps to feed many families in these dull days. The Pride of Woman.

It is one of the blessed rewards of laboi, and one of tbe sweet privileges vonchsaved to him who enjoys house keeping, to plnck the luctous ripe berry from his own vine, while yet the crystal dew drops glistens on its dark green leaf. It is pleasant to en joy the frnit after it has been hulled, sweetened and prepared by the busy housewife, but the privilege of grow ing- it brings a sweeter and never fading Satisfaction. There are many expert strawberry growers in this city, among whom may be mentioned, Capt. Y. G. Bust, Mrs. B. Hobbs, Mr. Vf. E. Mitchell, Col. Kelson Tift and Mr. A. TV. Muse. AU of these have early and late ber ries of the most delicious quality and in the greatest profusion, and it is sim ply a delight to feast the eye on their beds of rich plants loaded with beauti ful clustering frnit. Mr. TV. E. Mitchell has a small bed, about 20 feet square, from which bis family have feasted through this sea son. From what he has gathered an estimate was made that an acre would return $500, selling the berries at 10 cents per quart. Captain Y.G. Bast it perhaps the most successful cultivator of straw berries in the city. He has devoted a great d.eal of attention to their cultiva tion, and now enjoys the advantage of close observation and experiments through many years of attention to their growth and matnrity. For many years he has enjoyed the merited repu tation of being tbe best gardener in Southwest Georgia, and a well known incident, which will not he out of place here, contributed no little to this reputation. Several years ago, while the bloom and freshness of a beautiful spring was yet enjoyed in this section, aa bis fam ily, consisting ot himself, wife, two sons and others, were seated around the tea table, Mr. Y. C. Bast said to his brother: “Dick, tbe next time yon want to confirm any of your Munchausen’s, don’t you appeal to me for I am not going to give yon auy aid and comfort in that practice.’’ “Well,” said Dick, “1 can prove my assertion by father.” “What is tbatT” asked the Captain. “Dick told a party of gentlemen down town to-day that he coaid gather a quart of strawberries from some of your vines, aud, at their want of cre dulity, be appealed to me to sustain him. I could not do it.” “Some ot them yield astonishingly, but I don’t think that a quart was aver gathered from one Vine,” said the Cap tain. Dick appealed to his mother, hut she, too, thought that he bad exagger ated a little, so he stated his intention to rise early next morning and verify bis statement by gathering the berries. I t was agreed that all should be at the trial, and early next morning all re paired to tbe garden, and sure enongfa, he not only gathered a quart from one vine, bat he gathered that quantity from several vines each. This demonstrates the prolificness of tbe vine in this section: under favor able conditions, and should put to shame all who do not enjoy t* their surfeit this most delicions of berries. ALBAN IIS BANKS. Up Potent Factors in Bnildlns the CItj. The Mews and Advebtisxe has a jnst appreciation of the advantages of good banking institutions to a city. They cootribnte to a city’s growth and prosperity as much a3 any factor at work in a community, and it is with a growing satisfaction that we witness the successful operations of Albany’s lonr banks and bankers.

Albany’s merchants, with these banks to rely upon for securing money, can extend the lines of their credit and ally planters to this city who have been forced heretofore to go to else where for accommodations. And this has been done this season to tbe end of creating a reasonable expectation that Albany’s cotton receipts for next fall will be largely increased.

Wight desires us to state that the second four of ths Al bany Guards are among the best of the company, and that the break in Macon was not chargeable to them alone. The real cause of the break was a failure to understand the order. The uproar in the grand stand and the strong wind blowing from ths company towards the commanding of ficer caused the boys to hear the order indistinctly. These were circum stances beyond their control, and it is pity that ibshonld have been so, for it lost the first prize to the Guards. Baker County Public School*.

Little Willie Qnarterman, the seven- year-old son of Mrs. Quartermaz^ of thto city, was down at the ice factory Mon day morning, engaged in playing with some children. In the crowd was Essie May, an eight-year-old Negro girl, and through some cause the girl flew into a violent passion with Willie, and seizing the huge, sharp knile that to used by the hands at the factory to chipice, she made a stroke at Willie, striking him on the left wrist. The stroke was hard enough tohalf- Bever.the hand from the arm, cutting muscles, leaders and one artery. Tbe loss of blood was profuse, and the little fellow fainted away. Drs. J, E. McMillan and W. L. Davis were called in and soon had the wound dressed, and the child restored and quietly resting. Some excited person rushed to his mother, when the catting took place, and told her that the child was killed, which frightened her so badly that II w*as difficult for the phy sicians to restore her. The wound to very painful, hut not necessarily dangerous. It to to be very much regretted that children should display such violent tempers while at play.
