ALBAJN Y WEEKLY HERALD: SATURDAY, MARCH 12, 1892. ■•FOB BONDS.” Tk» Boaull of XneMtaVsi Klccllon-A Big Vole nSd no Overwhelming IMn- lorllf for Public Ifovroveueol. “Tor bonds." .. For waterworks and sewerage. That's what the people of Albany said by a vote of 581 to 26, on last Thursday. • And it means a great deal for Al bany. It means that t|ie people have come together and that they have'with one aocord declared in favor of a pro gressive policy upon the part of the city. The question submitted to the voters of the city yesterday was as to whether the olty should issue bonds to the amount of $100,000 for the purpose of erecting a system of publlo water works and sewerage. The verdict of the people has been rendered, and it Is overwhelmingly “for bonds” The people have said to the Mayor and City Council, by ,the vote cast yesterday, issue the bonds and go on with these needed publlo Improve ments for the city. . The vote waB about the largest ever cast in the olty. Here is the way it standst For bonds SSI Agutmt bonds fit Total Voto ;... jisr There was no organized light made by those who opposed the issunnee of the bonds, and the eleotion was a quiet one. The vote polled shows that the people felt a lively Interest In the rev suit, however, and that they wanted to make sure of carrying tho day for waterworks and sewerage. The managers of the election were Magistrate F. R. Robert and Messrs. W. 0. Watson and D. S. Meads. The voting was lively at times, and there was a orowd about the polls through out the day, but good humor prevailed and the very best of .order was main tained. ' . There was no demonstration of any kind over the result of the eleotion, but a feeling of relief seemed to settle over people of the oity Tuesday night that the waterworks question, which had been agitated so long, had been settled at last. FASHION NOTES AND HOUSE HOLD SUGGESTIONS. A parasol to match every street suit will be a neoessary feature of fashionable s'pring and summer attire. White and cream-oolored strings are preferred for bonnets and hats. Advance hints give us warning of the revival of the quaint poke bonnet. Rainbow ribbon, chiffon ribbon and silk flecked foliage will occupy a lead ing place among the newer styles for hat trimmings this spring. Do' you know anything that will make my hands white? This ques tion is frequently asked. A favorite domestlo cosmetlo is fine oatmeal, cooked into a paste wlth|water and, while hot, mixed with a spoonful of lemon juice and as much vaseline. The hands are spread with the paBte the last thing at night, and enveloped in cotton-flannel mittens tied around the wrist. Homely as it is, oatmeal Is as whitening to the bands as almond paste. The now spring coat is a mortifica tion to the fleshy, and a vexation to the spirit of the slender woman. It has a yoke, into which is gathered back and front, the skirt part that hangs full and shapeless from the yoke to the knees. Then it has a pair of rather close fitting sleeves. The only thing that can be said in its favor is that it 1b new and odd. How ever, women will wear it, for long dis cipline has taught that fashions, hus bands and dispensations of Provi dence are not to be argued against. No young girl this spring will wear a light gown without a lover’s knot somewhere about it, and nothing in deed gives so charming an air of girl ishness as these coquettish adorn ments, with their long ends flying like so many yards of summer cloud.

ThrrlUnden Hail n Widower, and Un cle Jerry Bask -Ulast Gel Him a Wlte. Washington, D. C., Maroh 6.—Secre tary Rusk is thinking seriously of establishing a matrimonial bureau in connection with the Agricultural De partment. The idea was suggested by a letter he recently received from a man out West who experimented with some of the cucumber seed sent to him by the Department at the instance of his rep resentative in Congress. It appears that the farmer planted the ououmber seed and his wife afterward died from eating some of the ououtnhers. NO SEEDS, BUT A WIFE. The farmer in Ills letter to Secretary Rusk said: “Your blamed cucumbers robbed me of my wife, so instead of sending me cucumber seeds thi« spring, send me another wife. I hear there are a number of likely women in your department.” AN INVITATION TO PICK. In reply Secretary RuBk said he had no appropriation from which ho could draw money to send a wife to the widower, but suggested that tho latter come to Washington and pick out one for himself. The Secretary, informed his corres pondent that he has in the department some beautiful maidens, many spright ly'widows and several well-seasoned old maids. THE OBIGIN OF A FAMOUS SONG. **Anld Losg Syne” Dales From the Fit- teenth Century, Philadelphia Telegraph. An interesting statement regarding the origin, poetry and musio of “Auld Lang Syne” has just been made by Mr. James Diok to the Sooiety of An tiquaries of Scotland. The earliest germ of the song is, it seems, found in an anonymous poem of the flfteenth century, preserved in the Bannatyne manusoript, 1568. The title of the poem, “Auld Kyndness Forgott,” is in modern Scottish “Should Auld Ac quaintances be Forgot?” The second song on the subject known to exist is printed in Watson’s collection, pub lished in 1741, entitled “Old Long Syne,” in twelve eight-line stanzas; The third song is Allan Ramsay’s “Auld Ladg Syne,” first printed in the Tea Table Miscellany, 1724. The first record of the present well- known version is in Burns’s letter .to Mrs. Dunlop, Deoember 17, 1788, in closing a copy of the verses as “an old song whleh has often thrilled through my soul." Five years afterwards he sent a oopy to George Thomson, and about the same time another copy to James Johnson for the Scots Musical Museum, in the fifth volume of which it was printed for the first time in 1797, about five months after the poet’s death. That there was an old rustic song with a chorus similar to Burn’s songls suspeoted, but all attempts to dlBOOver the smallest traces of it have been fruitless. As to the musio of “Auld Lang Syne,” there are two tunes—an old one which Burns knew, and the modern one first printed with Burn’s words in 1799, three years after his death, in Thomson’s Songs of Scotland. Thom son rejected the old time-worn tune, and replaoed it with a variation of an other melody which had been then for many years ' popular. The modern melody did not become immediately popular, but during the last fifty years it has so progressed in favor that it is now the widest-spread social song in the Anglo-Saxon language.

Personal, Industrial, Religion* and Political. Itoported for tho Iforald by .1 AY Bl.1. AICH. Isabella, Ga., Maroh 9th, 1892. Monday was the regular day for Ordinary’s court, and Judge Lippitt was at Ills post, dispatching business in his usual able manner. The Judge has held this position for nearly six teen years past, and lias become one of our court house fixtures, if not orna ments. , Mr. George Denby happened to quite a painful aooident one day last week. While hauling out manure in his field his mules became frightened from some unknown cause and ran away, throwing Mr. Denby out and two wheels of the wagon passed over his leg, breaking one of the bones be tween the knee and ankle. Mr. Deri- by’s wounds, while not serious, will lay him up for several days; find prove quite a drawback to him ih pushing up his spring planting. - Two young men from Sylvester, whose names shall be carefully -odii- oealed, were visiting friends ot-'the opposite sex in Isabella a few nights since; and for some cause, failed, to fasten their horse securely. Some.time during the evening, the horse, prqjja- bly concluding that his services wgre no longer required, took Frenoh legye, also the wrong road, and departed home, carrying the buggy with him. About two miles from here, finding that the road did not go in the right direotion, he took a dim trail and' was found next morning fastened ' in among some cyolone logs, witli the re mains of the buggy attaohed, by Mr, Hanoook, who happened to be passing. The young men got out of the scrape by. walking home, paying damages, and promising to do so no more. Mr. J. J. Culpepper, who lives near Doles and is one of our best farmers, is putting in a orop of tobaoeo this year, and has his barn alreadyneqrly completed. If there Is any moqe][. to be made out of tobacoo in this county Mr. Culpepper is the man to demon strate it. The early morning mail train, going East on the B. & W. R. R, is an incon venience in more ways than one. Itjie Herald does not get here unit) lt.f^a day pld, and all the other papers are in the same fix. " -. The young people had an enjoya ble party at the residence of Mr. J. J. Ross last night. Messrs. MoPhaul and Kllpatriok are establishing a hennery at Poulan,uon an extensive soale. They have about two hundred hens now, and are- in- oreasing the number every day, prom ising to put in at least five hundred as soon as buildings oan be provided for them. This is an entirely new depart ure for thie section, and has the men in charge who oan make it a success if any one can. Mr. MoPhaul has, de veloped first- the turpentine, and after wards the vineyard and fruit, bus)ness in this eounty, and has done as much as any man within its limits to.,call the attention of the outside worlii to our county and its unparalleled, re sources. He Is one of those men In whose hands everything succeeds. A few of our oitizens are puttidg in crops of melons, but not one -aCroi will be planted in them this year where seven were planted last year. Proba bly those that plant them will get bet ter prices. i- • A good deal has been said ajiaong the members of the Farmer’s Alliance about establishing a county organ in this county. It is to be hoped the'gen- tlemen will not make this mistake, as we already have a paper here whose editor is a member of the Alliance, and who has always worked for its best interests so long as it did not conflict with his duties as a Demo crat. The county will not support two papers, and the Alliance organi zation is not strong enough in the county to support a paper without outside help. The first Quarterly conference for the Methodist circuit comprising the churches of Ty Ty, Sumner, Isa bella, Wesley Chapel and Leesburg, was held at Sumner on Saturday last, Rev, James O. Branch, P. E., presiding Rev. Mr. Branch is the right man in this place, turning off business in a thorough and rapid manner. The del egation was small, but all the churches were represented except Leesburg, and the reports very encouraging. The salary of their pastor for the year was fixed at $475 and support ofj Pre siding Elder, $109. Various other business of a rOutiuc nature was transacted, and able sermons delivered Saturday and Sunday by Rev. Mr. Branch. ' Sheriff Cox and Deputy Taylor are pretty busy attendingto their duties, and some of the proceeds they bring in from levies would do to stajfi; a Noah’s Ark with. There has been quite a demand for guano this week, and some of the faetors have been over-orowded with orders. Still, not near so much is be ing used’as was used last year. In these days of Third Party candi dates, and others who sacrifice Deuio- oratlo principles to get Alliance votes, but all the while seeking a Democratic eleotion, it is refreshing when the name of such a staunch old Demoorat ns Hon. Will A. Harris Is mentioned. Ho will lay aside none of hiB princi ples or opinions to entoh votes, but is one of tlie best friends, the Alliance has, he will not give it injurous advice to scoure its good will. One of the writer’s earliest reoullcntions of the Major was when said writer was a barefooted boy and used to trudge to the Major’s house on rainy days to borrow books that lie sat up and read by lightwood-knot fires and on Sun days and at noon hours on hot summer days. And in all the after years, al though our opinion's on some matters may have differed, yet I hove always found him the same liberal, genial, open-hearted gentleman; ever ready to relieve a friend or stranger In dis tress, and treating the barefooted boy with the same kindness and considera tion that he did distinguished friends. He is eminently the children's friend,as his hosts of young acquaintances tes tify, and this is one of the surest in dices of a.kind and noble heart. Al though it is not generally known, he gives every year a sum to oliarlty and oliuroh purposes that would shame many a self-styled phyianthropist, and I.have never approaohed him for any publlo aid but what Ills name led the list. Standing, as lie does, on the platform where Turner stood; enter taining, as he does, the same views on leading politioal issues that Turner did, he is pre-eminently the man for Turner’s ^lace. Th* HumorU* and the Poet. Humor seems to aedbrd better with our present attitude toward life than poetry doe*. The humorists certainly mako more money than the poets. This is a course and brutal test, but it means popularity, the approval of the spirit of the ago. We ore scientific, and scienoe does not object to quips and cranks, es pecially when they uro directed against religious, spiritual or transcendental tenets. The latter, on the contrary, can not endure being laughed at with equa nimity. And, disguise it how we may, this is a sign of weakness—not necessa rily in true religious, spiritual or transcen dental philosophy,'but in what just now passes for those philosophies among us. Laughter may be thu expression of •a contemptible as well LBTTEB LIST. List of letters remaining in tile post- olfloe at Albany, Ga., for the week ending Maroh 9th, 1892.

Melherlag Sunday, “Tid, Mid and Misera, Carling, Palm and Fase-egg day.” So tlie old rhyme names the six Sun days of Lent. The last-named Sun days are of course, well known as Car- lingor Mothering Sunday, Palm and Easter day. Carling or Mothering Sunday was a pleasant old home-fes tival, when all the absent ohtldren brought home gifts to their mother' It was a day when the duty of going “a-motherlng” devolved on every lad or lassie who was out at servlet or had gone to homes of their own. •■Hebrew and Jew.” The distinction between the terms “Hebrew” and “Jew,” judging by their common use, is npt generally under stood. ’According to Rabbi Grossman the word “Hebrew" designates the raoe to which the descendants of Abraham belong, while the word “Jew” characterizes the religious faith of those who believe iu Judaism. Deputy Sheriff Wm. Godwin ar rested Spencer Griflin, oolored, early Wednesday morning, and 'lodged him Dougherty county Jail on a charge of eow stealing. The warrant under which he wns arrested was sworn out by Jno. Williams, another Negro, who lives in the same neighborhood with Griffin, in West Dougherty. When Griffin’s premises were searohed tlie butchered cow was found buried un derneath his house. There seems to be little or no doubt of his guilt, and he will probably be sent up for a term of years when his trial comes off. Somrtkino wrong about the water works eleotion again!
