Good colds have gone entirely out

likewise.
The people of Albany nre again be

time has been given the railroads ill

plan for a union depot undor the
agreement made with the representa

Railroad Commission; and yet
it appears that nothing further has
been done in the premises. 6qr peo

The heavy gymnnstio class was or

stylish horses there are in Albany?
Blooded animals that would attract
attention anywhere are often seen on

attracts as much attention^ here as

Mr. Cleveland is taking life in an
easy way that furnishes conclusive
proof of tlie fnct that he is not worry
ing over politics. He has just return

The lle«nlt of Some Queries Put to
Petr of Albany’s ItusiucsN Men.
Mr. S. L. Hawes, a Worth county
farmer, was robbed by some unknown
party Monday night while asleep in
the lodging house of Cook’s wagon
yard.
Mr. Hawes reached the city In the
early.part of the night with his wagon
nml-mulcs, and prooecdod at once to
Mr. Cook’s wagon yard, where he
stabled the animals for tho night, mid
then went up town on business.
Mr. Hawes iiad intended buying
some guano and provisions, conse
quently had considerable money on his
person, whioh some one must have
seen while lie was paying for ilia pur
chases. 'When Mr. Hawes returned to
Hie lodging house it wns about 1
o'clock, and he at- once lay down and
wetil to sleep, leaving several parties
sitting around the fire tnlking.
The money was in ills pocket, in a
leather purse, a twenty dollar bill, a
llvo and several silver dollars, hut
when Mr. Hawes awoko Tuesday
morning he found that some one had
relieved him of the whole amount dur
ing tlie night. No clue to the thief
could be discovered, but the police
were notified of the affair, and will do
their best to find the guilty party.
Tills is tlie second robbery that 1ms
been committed in warehouse wagon
ynrds recently, and it is to be hoped
that tlie guilty party can be brought
to justice.

Election of Ofllcci'N (.nut Night.
The Uniform Bank of the Knights
of Pythias hold a meeting Monday night
at their armory for tho purpose of
electing officers to fill the positions
mado vacant by the’ resignations of
Sir Knight Capt. E. L. Wight, and
Sir ICnlght Lieutenant W. E. Woman.
Mr. H. A. Tarver, Jr., was unani
mously ohoocn to fill the first important
position, and the second foil to Mr. A.
P. Coles.
Both these gentlemen are well
known to the people of Albany, and
their election gives tho command to
ns.good men ns could possibly lmvo
been chosen.
Mr. N. J. Cruger was afterwards
elected Sir Knight Herald, Mr. F. L.
Wilder right guide, and the office of
Recorder wns given to Dr. Hugo
Beilinson.
The order is in a flourishing con
dition, and tho public may expect to
hear groat tilings of the Knights in
future.
Every man on the face of the globe,
no matter liow lilgji or low his station
life may be, has some particular
hobby, or desire for something (hat
does not exist r hUldeii away in tho re

toll it, wll,l not offer to enlighten one

of our most prominent citizens, unc 1
here they are, verbatim:
Approaching Dr. W. W. Bacon, we
popped tlie question,” and without
hesitation, tho Doctor answered, “1
want to see the union pussenger depot
erdeted,”
We next hailed Colonel E. B. Jones,
who answered our question by writing
his on a piece of paper: “A beautiful
brick Court House on the present site
of.the old one, and the Albany jail Jot
sold for store building lots."
Mr. Will MoDowell thus answered
our query: “I had rather see a
thoroughly organized german dull,
whose principal object would be to
keep stags from attending tlie dnnoes.”
We next approached Professor Z. X.
Fitzpatrick, who wrote tills lor us:
‘My whole soul is onlistod in the noble
work of trying to teacli hoys and girls
thoroughly. I want their education to

believe in shams and mere appear

The Guards. Flection.
The Albany Guards held an impor
tant meeting fast night, and elected
officers to fill the positions made va
cant by tlie recent resignations of
some of the old officers.
Tho Junior Second Lieutenancy was
resigned by Mr. Jt. S. Patillo a short
time since, his removal to Macon being
the cause,and First Sargeant W.T. Cox
was unanimously elected by tho com
pany last nig"ht to fill tills position.
Mr. Cox has, for a long time, been Or
derly Sargeant of the Guards, nnd al
though they regret to lose him for a
guide, his promotion gives great pleas
ure to his many friends in the com
pany.
But Mr. Cox’s position will be well
filled by the mew Incumbent, Mr. S. B,
Wight, who lms for a long time been
Second Sargeant. Mr. Wight was
elected without opposition last night,
and those who know the gentleman
lcnow that he will fill the new position
with credit to himself and to the com
pany.
Three sergeants are yet to be ap
pointed, but Captain Wooten says he
will probably not announce their
names before just previous to the en
campment.
STOLE HIM COAT.
Muon It Thief Relieve! Hr,
Itlnnir of n Hood Coal.
Mr. J. B. Mnnry attended the drill
of the Albany Gunrds Monday night,
and tho armory being warm, and han
dling a gun rather violent exercise,
he romoved his coat and went through
the drill in shirt sleeves.
When tlie drill was over and Mr.
Manry would have donned his vest
ment. it oould not be found, though a
thorough search was made for it. At
last the unpleasant truth was too evi
dent; sotne one had stolen the missing
coat.
No idea as to who the- thief Is can
be obtained, but the officers are on the
lookout for the guilty party. Mean
while Mr. Manry wears his Sunday
coat.
Speaker Crisp lacks a good deal yet
of being a well man. Ills recent Ill
ness left liim weak, and lie recuperates
very slowly.
Dink Melvin was disconsolate yes
terday over the loss of his fishing tent
and all his “flxmcnts.” He had
struck camp at the mouth of Blue
Spring run, and while he was off fish
ing on Wednesday afternoon liis tent
caught fire and the canvas and every
thing under it went up in smoke.

The New Pipe Orcnii.
The ladies who solicited funds for
the new organ for the Methodist
ehurch were successful beyond their
most sanguine anticipations.
The general sentiment of the mem
bers of that church seems to be in
favor of the-purchasing of tlie organ,
and tho liberality with which they
subscribed for the project shows their
desire. v
About $800 is in sight for the pro
ject and this makes an excellent be
ginning. Aside from that, n number
of people have subscribed monthly
payments for it and others have
agreed to give an amount commen
surate with tlieir circumstances when
the second,payment becomes due.

Tableaux for Chautauqua#
A letter from Dr. Duncan to the
President of the Georgia Chautauqua
says that the genial Dootor desires
that the ladles of Albany prepare
set of Columbian tableaux, four in
number, for the coming assembly,
The first is to faithfully picture tlie
court of Ferdinand and Isabella with
Columbus . laying his plans before
them.
The second will show Columbus
landing at San Domingo with his new
erew of sailors in reverential attitude,
and native Indians standing about in
awe stricken groups.
The third tableau will represent tlie
thirteen colonies, while tlie fourth
will be in some way symbolical of the
wonderful progression of the age and
represent the glorious 1892.
Three or four ladies will be invited
to assume charge of the preparations
for the tableaux.

Mr. James H. Davis led to the hyme

Waynesboro (Ga.) True Citizen. “At

Mr. S. W. Gunnison said ills hobby
was for old-fashioned farm life, ns it
■ ns before tho sixties.
Mr. W. T. Cox wanted to see more
money in circulation.
Mr. W. E. IlilBmnn : “A largo cotton
factory.”
Mr. A. W. Tucker also wanted to seo
more money generally distributed.
And so did Capt. Y. G. Bust, who
says money would help everything.
Mr. S. F. Price: “Plenty of money
and cheap whiskey.”
Mr. Win, Lockett: “A good big cot
ton fnotory iihove everything else.
Marshal B. N. Westbrook wanted
“waterworks and a cotton factory."
Mr. J. F. Bruns wanted to see some
fnetorles that would make money
easier.
Mr. U. H. Tarver wrote this and
handed us: “A cotton fnotory in my
opluioii would be tlie greatest benefit
of any single enterprise to tlie advan
tage and improvement;of Albany.' Al
bany and the surrounding country
would be largely bonefitted by a rail
road running South into Baker and
Decatur counties and some point into
Florida, perhaps Pensacola.”
Mr. L S. Davis’s hobby: “All tlie
people of Albany devote tho time and
money necessary to make the Fourth
Annual Session of the Georgia Chau
tauqua the success that- it deserves.
Dr. Duncan lms given us the finest
programme ever presented, nnd it re-
mnlns with our people to insure its
success by enthusiastic support. Chau
tauqua—the Georgia Chautauqua—is
m.y hobby, and its claims upon us
should be fully recognized. Other
cities have tlieir attractions, hut none
are equal to Albany’s, and all coBt
more nnd bring less material prosper-?
ity than does the Chautauqua, compar
atively. I am glad that our people’s
energy lias expressed itself along that
line.”
Captain W. E, Wooten: “My liobby
is to lmve the Guards the crack mili
tary company in the Fourth Regi
ment.”

For several years the periodical
caving around the old well in Broad
street just south of Farkas’ stable has
caused the city great trouble nnd ex
pense; caving whenever hard rains
caused water to accumulate ill the
neighborhood, and thus endangering
tlie public safety.
But now, if appearances indicate
qnything, this well will give the city
no more trouble.
Street overseer Cofl’ey has, after
much trouble and hard work, succeed

that has formerly been only pariiy

The old, broken sewers, four or five
in number, have all been replaced by
sound new ones, nnd now a solid foun
