Albany has allowed one of beT great
est bless!ni(6 to lie right at her doors
undeveloped and untouched.
The factor that would become the
most pow erful in her commeicial de
velopment and financial growth, has
not aroused the enterprise sufficient to
place this city far ahead of all compe
tition and make her the most powerful
commercial center in South Georgia.
What Albany can’t see to her ad
vantage other people at a distance can
see for her. This fact finds demonstra
tion in the result of the recent visit of
the Board of Trade delegation of this
city to the Railroad Commission.

week will publish a great Chautauqua
edition of eight pages, which will be

paper will be mailed on Saturday

would be solved and the key to the sit
uation would be in their bunds.
Nothing else has made Memphis
such a powerful commercial metropo
lis but her river trade, and what she
has done, Albany can in a measure
duplicate.
If the Flint did not ofler great ad
vantages as a highway or public chan
nel of commerce the government would
not spend a dollar on it. Instead
thousands of dollars annually are spent
by the United States in keeping this
river in a passable and first-class con
dition for navigation. The # improve-
ments are being extended every year,
and soon the channel will be navigable
all the way from Montezuma.
After this enormous expense by the
government, placing a Dlessing and a
leverage right iuto our bands, are we
to show no more appreciation of it
than to let the waters run on to the
Gulf untouched and unused, when they
might be utilized as the agency ot
making Albany the commercial me
tropolis of South Georgia?
Few people realize what a river
trade would be for the Artesian City.
If they did, it wouldn’t be long before
the steamboat whistle would be heard
upon this highway, and Albany would
be pushing far beyond the expectations
of her most sanguine citizens.
On the edge of Florida and Georgia
the Flint and Chattahooche rivers form
the Apalachicola, which at Apalachi
cola empties into the Gulf,beiug all the
way a navigable stream of no mean
proportions.
With a line of steamers on this river
a trade with New Orleans would be
opened, and with the cotton trade from
this section and the fruit trade from
that port an immense traffic would be
carried on.
The merchauts should go at once
into this matter and take advantage
of this glorious opportunity that is
right in thei* 1 grasp.
The expenditure ot a few hundred
dollars by the several merchants of the
city would put a line of steamers on
the river, and like bread cast upon the
waters it would return to them a thous
and fold.
Lets don’t have any humming and
hawing now, but go right in and ac
complish what should have been dooe
years ago.
Wisdom or Felly.
Albany’s delay in organizing a con
struction company to build the Al
bany and Cordele railroad Is enough
to arouse the energetic people of this
community to harsh measures—at least
to enterprising and energetic en
deavors.
Here is a city that has been bottled
so long that it can’t accustom itself to
a new order of things, and when an
opportunity is placed right within its
grasp it creates no more impression
than the passing breath of the wind
upon an arid waste.
Albany unquestionably holds the
key to the solution of the commercial
greatness of this section. She already
has four railroads with a fifth coming
rapidly into her limits. There is now
left to her the road to Cordele ar.d a
line of boats on the river.
To say that Albany would be a great
cify with this additional power in her

In the history of the world’s pro-
; gress, that development which prom
ises most, morally and materially, has
claimed the attention and enlisted the
active sympathy of all who recognize
that growth is the love of life. That
apparent discontent with the condi
tions and circumstances of individual,
community and national life that im-
pells activity along all the lines of
progress is a wise provision of

of any city in the State, and we would innovation that promised

ket in Georgia. Then no power short
of cyclones or earthquakes could keep
the Artesian City back.
There are two routes open to the citi
zens of Albany just now and they
must take one of the two—Wisdom or
Folly.
By grasping the situation and build
ing tiie Cordele railroad, with the line
of boats already assured, Albany will
step right iuto a prosperity that will
carry her far beyond the expectations
of her most sanguine friends.
If Albany is finished, if the city is
built and the work completed, we are
justified in resting upon our oars and
letting the city rock along just as it is.
But there are men here who realize
that this city has the natural advant-
znoral
material benefits. “The Chautauqua
idea,” which is of comparatively
modern origin, has been one 01
the greatest factors in the development
of that symmetrical civilization that
characterizes the advanced sections of
the country, and Chautauqua is the
flowering of the Christian civilization
of the nineteeth century. It is a many
sided educational movement and aim?
to develop contemporaneously the best
attributes of mind aud heart, and
raise its beneficiaries to the higher
planes of enjoyment and give a wider
scope to pure purposes, as well as the
ability and inclination to enjoy higher
pleasures.
There is no section w here such an
ennobling institution can find a mere
generous soil, or hands more willing to
tend it to fruitful life, than in South
west Georgia, when a citizen of re
fined taste and progressive spirit
fosters every good influence; and
when the Chautauqua idea was

Dan Alston was tried the second
time last week in Dekalb Superior
Court for killing Abe Wilson about a
year ago. The first was a mistrial; the
second trial resulted in an acquittal.
There were several witnesses on both
sides, and their varying testimony
caused the verdict.
Some papers are raising a racket be
cause Mr. Ben Harrison has been in
vited to attend the Georgia Chautau
qua at Albany this month. The Geor
gia Chautauqua scatters brotherly love
and a sweet influence for good in its
path, and Mr. Harrison will not only
be entertained, but instructed and eu-
lightened by his visit to Albany.
In the editorial columns of yester
day’s Atlanta Constitution, we find the
following: “A. H. Shaver, recently
of Atlanta, who has taken charge of
the city department of the Albany
News and Advertiser, Is making
the columns of his paper very interest-
ing. The local department of the
News and Advertiser shows much
improvement under his management.”
The Georgia Chautauqua is upon us
—right at our very doors, and the sec
ond annual session comes as a harbin
ger of the grandest occasion this peo
ple has ever witnessed.
The fame of the Chautauqua has
spread phenomenally. The success of
the first session has been the means of
whetting the tastes and desires of the
people for another experience of such
joys, and with the approach of the
second session the praises of Chautau
qua are sounded on every side.
A person cannot go ten miles or twen
ty or fifty miles from Albany with
out being met by almost every person
with an inquiry concerning the Chau
tauqua, and everywhere the people are
anxious to know all the details and ar
rangements of the programme, so that
they will see what Is in store for them
when they come.
But whether or not they see the pro
gramme they are coming, and Albany
will entertain during the last week of
this month more guests than ever be
fore entered her gates.
And the Chautauqua will at the same
time entertain more minds hungering
and thirsting for mental feasts than
»ny one now can conceive.
The work of the Chautauqua bas
hardly begun. The experimental test
of last year and the anxiety attending
it have grown into the establishment
of a permanent institution, the bless
ings of which will magnify with each
succeeding year, and the benefits of
which will spread broadcast over this
section.
Drawing from the country at large
its supporters and patrons, finding
among its strongest friends and sym
pathizers parties from the East, the
North and West, all drawn to an ex
treme Southern point to revel in the
delights of this grand institution, all
The wise man know’s his route and
follows it, but the fool is hard to turn.
If you are determined to build up the
city, your course is plain, and the
route is open, but if the moss on your
back is so long that your antedeluvian
relatives will not even speak to you,
your course leads in a direction that
will sink not only you, but your city,
into eternal doom.
Albany has grown in spite of all op
position. The city has made great
strides, and taken a front rank in the
face of abnormal opposition. All she
needs is a little leverage from ener
getic men and the Lord only knows
where she will end.
The crisis Is at hand and must be
met. We must meet it like men. We
mustn’t lag back and be pulled down by
imaginary obstacles. We must act on
the theory of “nothing venture, noth
ing have,” and the man who subserves
the public welfare to his private parsi
mony would do more good six feet un
der the sod than he would ever do
above it.
With all nature standing here, her
lap full of blessings, waiting for
slight exertion on our part to dump
them upon us, why in the name of all
that is sensible don’t somebody go to
work and do what common sense
would dictate.
Let us take unto ourselves the fol
lowing parable that appeared recently
in the Florida Times-Union :
Ninety per cent, of roan’s happiness
or unhappiness is within his own con
trol. It is not dependent on outside
conditions. The old lable of the well
buckets is admirable. As one went up
the other went down, they met at the
half way point.
The bucket that was laughing asked
the other bucket why it wept. “I
weep,” replied the lugubrious bucket,
“to think that however full 1 may be
on going up, 1 shall always come back
again empty. “Why do you laugh?”
“I aut laughing,” retorted No. 2,
“because I was just thinking that how
ever empty I may be while going
down, I shall always be full while
coming up.” It is all owing to the j
standpoint of wisdom, or the reverse,
trum w Inch we look at thiugs.
if we look at things iu the proper
light we shall interpret them properly
and profit by their interpretation. Iu
that there will be wisdom, but if we
continue to allow matters to pass us
unnoticed we shall find remorse rather
than fullness in our bucket when it
comes up in the future.
Now is the time to act, and in the
language of the immortal slang-master,
“You must get a move on you.”
| SOUTHWEST GEORGIA INSTITUTION
The Georgia Chautauqua is a South
west Georgia Institution, and while itl
has its seat in Albany the design of its
promoters is to bring the blessings that
it insures to the whole sectiou.
Primarily it is designed to give educa
tional advantages, but our people do
not object to the material blessings
that follow in its ivake. The people ot
Albany holding in memory the de
lights and benefits of the Ia6t session
are actively co-operating in earnest
efforts to so’firmly establish the Georgia
Chautauqua that it may flourish for all
time in ttieir midst, exerting that in
fiueoce for good which its founder?
designed for it. But it is not a selfish
instinct that inspires theirzer l,and they
confidently expect their neighbors and
friends to share in^ the glory of its
prosperity, as well” as reap the full
measure of benefits from the privileges
aud advantages it offers. They bless
the day that brought to their hearth
stones men who induced them to turn
some ot th»-ir worldly goods into thU
channel of heavenly beneficence.
FIVE DEPARTMENTS THOROUGHLY OR-
FLOUR
Board of Trade,
There are so many things to be spok
en of in favor of the movement that has
been inaugurated among our merchants
to establish a Board of Trade, that it
seems wonderful to us that anything
at all need be said.
Every merchant of Albany, who has
realized what he and his associates
have suffered from discriminating
freight and passenger rates, from the
conflicting elements among the mer
chants themselves, from a lack of any
organized system for commercial rating
of their customers, from disputes with
consignors about damaged freights,
and from various other like grievances,
must feel at heart that the organization
of this body is oiie of the best things
that could happen for his city at thi6
juncture of her prosperity and advance
ment.
Albany Is obliged to advance, if her
citizens will pull together, and this
establishment of a Board of Trade will
do more to make them pull together
than everything else combined. For
that reason it is to the interest of every
GAXIZED.
The phenominal sue Jess of the first
session of the Georgia Chautauqua en-
courged the management to add to
their complement of well-conducted
and well-filled departments, and the
Georgia Chautauqua now has five
thoroughly organized departments
conducted bv specialists of the most
eminent abilities in the United States,
thus bringing to the very doors of the
people opportunities and advantage?
lor which many have spent much time
and money in distant places in seeking.
The parents of this section, who
recognize the obl { gations under which
they rest to their children, should
show an apprepreciation of w’hat the
Georgia Chautauqua offers by afford
ing to their children the ad vantage?
which its commercial, musical and
physical training departments present.
REDUCED RATES OF TRANSPORTATION
AND BOARD.
The management, as an earnest of
its wish to have the residents of the
neighboring towns and cities enjoy
these privileges, have exerted them
selves to secure low rates of transpor
tation and board at the private resi
dences and hotels of the city. Every
railroad running into the city will give
a round-trip ticket for one fare
to Albany during the Assembly week,
and the houses of the city will extend
a wide-open welcome to all visitors.
Parents wishing to have their girls and
boys attend can secure' comfortable
quarters at reasonable rates by apply
ing to Mr. J. D. Weston, Superintend
ent; and they can rest assured that
they will be placed where refining in
fluences w ill surround and gu&rd them.
Albany is determined to make the
Georgia Chautauqua, with the aid of
her neighbors, an institution in which
every Georgia community can take
pride, and to that end she earnestly
asks their sympathy and active co-op
eration. J.S. Davis,

he admitted that be made statements

Mr. Thrilkield object to Southern and

This great work in which the people before the Railroad Commission;
of Albany arc now engaging is but the
rising of a spring to supply a stream.
It is small at the beginning, but in
years to come the innumerable results
and a flourishing institution will be
like the stream of a bold river that
started from a small source.
The Augusta Chrouicle jumps upon
correspondent from Aiken, S. C.,

The Chronicle gives E. C. Williams,

it will foster and engender enterprise;
it will harmonize conflicting elements,
and it will pacify disgruntled factions; j
it will cut your freights down from 1
one-third to one-half, and it w ill be a '

All these things, and more, it will

Bainbrige, Ga., March 3, 1S90.
Xeuts and Advertiser:
Well, the weather has played us a
souring trick. Come down upon us
like a wolf on the fold, and we are
froze up. Our bright flowers are wilt
ed, the young leaves of our lovely oaks
look sad and weary in the bright sun
shine to-day; our fruit prospects are
mortal dim, and our early vegetables
wiped out by the north w mi’s icy
breath.
The heavy rains of the p.ist week
badly damaged the road-bed of the
Alabama Midlaud, and it will be seve
ral days before they can be repaited.
The first through train from Mont
gomery reached here late Saturday,
having been detained several days en
route by the washouts.
In the course of two weeks more it is
hoped through trains will run on sched
ules from Savannah to Montgomery.
Adam Tyler, negro, aged seventeen,
was killed at Midland Station, on the
Alabama Midland railroad, Saturday
evening. He attempted to jump on
tiie train in motion, tell back under
the wheels and was crushed to death.
Hi* remains were brought here and de
livered to Jacob Tyler, his father.

The Atlanta Journal
since published an account of a car
penter in that city who had lost the j
same leg twice. The first time by movement, and miss much by not at-
falling from a scaffold while drunk; : tending its meetings
the second time by falling on a railroad
track and letting a switch engine run
over his wooden leg—also a drunk. The
day the Journal published the item,
Mr. A. W. Cosby, of this county, lost
his leg the second time—first iu the
war and lastly by being thrown out
of a buggy by a runaway horse. A
strange coincidence, though our story
it far more creditable to the subject.

A >>w method off rrcatiRg Disease
What are they ? There is a new de
parture in the treatment of disease. It
consists in the collection of the
speeches used by noted specialists of
Europe aud America, and bringing
them within the reach of all. For in
stance the treatment pursued by
special physicians who treat indiges
tion, stomach and liver troubles only,
was obtained and prepared. The
treatment of other physicians, cele
brated for curing catarrh was procured
aud soon till these incomparable cures
uow include disease of the lungs, kid-
n«vs, female weakness, rheumatism
and nervous debility.
This new method of “one remedy for
one disease” must appeal to the com
mon sense of all sufferers, tnanv ol
whom have experienced the ill effects,
and thoroughly realize the absurdity
of the claims of Patent Medicines
which are guaranteed to cure every ill
out ot a single bottle, and the use of
which, as statistics prove, has ruined
more stomachs than alcohol. A circu
lar describing these new remedies is
sent free on receipt of stamp to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Com
pany, Toronto, Canada, sole pro
prietors. Reliable agents wanted.
