Mr. and Mbs. C. R. Vincent, of

Isabella, Ga, March 7,1882.
Editor Albany Hrrald :
Although much has boen said
through the press of the Second dis
trict in the matter of a ohoioe for their
representative in Congress, yet the
whole matter will finally have
to go before the people to be ad
justed; and when this Is done,
Worth has a candidate to put before
them whom she believes .to be second In
merit to none. This is our fellow-cit
izen and able Secretary of Senate,
Hon. W. A. Harris.
In placing him before the voters of
the Seoond district, we do bo with the
firm conviction that he has qualifica
tions for the place possessed by few
others. He has for years past, until
recently, been Chairman of the Demo
cratic Exeoutlva Committee of this
oounty; has for nearly a soore of years
been Secretary of the State Senate,
and has held innumerable positions of
public trust in the county, In all of
whloh he nobly sustained and repay
ed the trust reposed in him. He is a
veteran of two wars, the Mexloan and
Civil war, and returned from the
camp and field to fight his oountry’s
battles In the halls of legislation. He
Is one of the old-time, unreoonttruoted,
dyed-in-the-wool Democrats, with a
capital D, and believes in the Demo-
oratio party first, last and all the time,
and will never, for the sake of scour
ing a vote or popular favor, forsake a
prlnolple or forget a frlepd.
As such a Democrat, he Is pre-emin
ently the man for whom every Dem
ocrat who deserves the name should
cVerlBh a bond of sympathy, and if he
Is nominated, it Is on the platform of
the Demooratto party that he will
seek a Democratic election. For
fie Alliance he has nothing but'the
feelings of most sincere friendship,
because lie believes their interest to
bo identical with those of himself, for
they form many of his constituents.
Being bred among farmers, he is with
out question a farmer’s friend, and
will never neglect their interests. His
llfe-longacquaintance with prominent
men; his unexcelled oratorical ability;
his well-stored mind, (of which few
Georgians have better); his record
a soldier and citizen, together with
the faot that nearly half of his life has
been spent in a position where all the
vast machinery of law-making has be
come as familiar to him os A B C—all
these things oombine to make a grand
total of a man whom the Secorig. dis
trict would honor itself in sending as
a representative to Congress.
Yet, despite all this, he is not a can
didate, and will never disgrace his
manhood in an unseemly scramble for
office, but when his country has called
him, be has been ever ready, whether
to carry its flag through the smoke of
battle or uphold its rights in olvll
legislation, and the people of Worth
feel assured that should his country
again oall him, to represent it in
Washington, its faithful servant will
answer, as he has ever answered,
“aye.” Jay Ell Aioh.
MUTABl INSPECTION.
THE ATHI.ETIC EXHIBITION
By Prof. Gmrhnrll nl HU Clofca bail
Taeaday Night.
Ever since the announcement, sev
eral days ago, that Prof. Gearhart,
who has charge of the Athletlo depart
ment of the Georgia Coautauqua, as
sisted by his class, would give an ex
hibition to the Albany public, every
one has been looking forward to the
event with great eagerness, and by 8
o’clock Monday night, the appointed
time, Willingham’s Hall was orowded
with an appreciative audience.
Nor were they disappointed. From
the beginning of the entertainment to
Its olose everyone was well pleased,
and the result met the expectations of
the most sanguine. Wrestling, box
ing, tumbling, horizontal bar work,
dub swinging, etc, were all gone
through with.
The wrestling of Messrs. Emmer-
man and Agar, Lockett and Bateman,
sparring of Baoon and Baoon, Ilils-
man and Robinson, and the horizontal
bar work of Prof. Gearhart and Htls-
man were espeolally entertaining
features.
The wrestling and sparring con
testants showed that they had been
well taught, being very skillful at the
trloks of the art.
The exhibition oloaed with a long
leap over a line of obalrs, and some
fine, fanoy club swinging by Prof.
Gearhart, after whloh the audlenoe
dispersed well pleased with wbat they
had seen.
Tbb entertainment was intended
chiefly as an advertisement for the
Athletlo department bf Chautauqua,

great Individual benefit can be derived
from a course of physical training.

tliat tjie South has excellent advan
tage^ for. growing Its own stook; al
though we are of the opinion that, so
ffir^qifwpe stock Is concerned, the
Northern grown vines are the best.
The aggressive men in the business
are aVake to the value of tho Southern
patronage, and the forthcoming meet
ing of the Association of American
Nurserymen at Atlanta, Ga., will find
many of them in attendance, as the
oocssipn will be a favorable one for

The Guards Vader the Critical Review
af Ideal. Naleriee.
Monday night at eight o'olook the Al
bany Guards assembled at their armo
ry for the purpose of being examined
as to their knowledge of tactics and
military duty, and having their arms
arid accoutrements inspected. For a
couple of weeks the Guards have been
brushing up, and last night every gun
and uniform was In perfect order.
Lieut. C. B. Saterlee, of the U. S.
Army, who Is widely known as an of
ficer of great ability, and who, by
special appointment, has been on a
tour of the State Inspecting Georgia’s
military companies for several
months, conducted the examination.
Formlngof the company, the man
ual of arms, double and single rank
drilling, guard mountand sentry duty,
guard drilling by sargeants, the duties
of officers, knowledge of the practical
useB of guns by the men, and in faot,
almost every point prescribed in mil
itary tactlcB received, some attention.
Although the Guards are pretty well
posted, (notwithstanding the large
number of new men in the company,)
Lieut. Saterlee found them lacking on
several points. It was the general
opinion of onlookers that they showed
off to poorer advantage in the field
movements than in any other point.
Lieut Saterlee’s report will be anx
iously awaited by the public, as every
one feels a keen interest in tbe Guards.
COMPLIMENTARY TO LIEUT. SATEBLEE.
Whatever limy have been the im
pression made upon Lieutenant
Saterlee by our military, it can cer
tainly be said that he won and will
carry away with him the admiration
of the Guards and the'respect and
f ;ood will of all our people with whom
le came in contact. Our boys didn’t
object to his rigid examination in the
discharge of liis official duty, ami will
try to profit by it. Col. Ed. L. Wight!
of tile Fourth Georgia 'Regiment, gave
an elegant banquet at the Rialto, com
plimentary to Lieutenant Saterlee,
after the inspection Monday night. The
officers of tile Guards and those of the
regiment win) reside in the city were
present, and the occasion was one
well calculated to make tlic honored

which Albany is the oounty seat, is tbe

It Is at Poulan, only a few miles from
Albany, where the beautiful and
I romising yonng vineyards of J. D.
tashagen, of New York, are located,
and where our hospitable friend. Dr.
J. F. W. Wilson, proprietor of Pinery
Parks Nursery, resides. No one wbo

Thai Same Slick Wage* Yard Tfclcl
Agala.
So very often, of late, are lodgers
robbed at tbe warehouse wagon yards
on Pine street that when a person
there is relieved of money or other pos
sessions the ciroumstance oauses very
little comment. During the last s|x
weeks, not less than a half dozen rob
beries have been committed, and far
mers have always been the losers.
The Hebald has frequently published
accounts of the wagon yard thief's op'
orations, and this one will cause no
surprise, but only wonder, that he still
remains at large.
Monday night a party of farmers
were sleeping in Cook's lodging house,
and a Negro who answers the descrip
tion of the one who has so often
burglarized persons there, enter
ed, and spreading for himself
a pallet, soon seemed to he
asleep. His manner was 'so free
and easy that no suspicion as to bis
real character ever dawned upon those
who were about to be bis victims.
But when the party awoke Tuesday
morning, the Negro was gone, as he
always is, “in the morning.” A new
bat, which belonged to a Mr. Calhoun,
and a pistol belonging to a Mr. Tay
lor, were missing. A Mr. Smith had
liis pocket cut open by the thief, but
only lost a pocket knife and a plooe of
tobacco.
A little amateur detective work by
some one who would impersonate a
farmer would stop this troublesome
thievery.
SOCIETY GOSSIP
There stems to be no time for sooiety
this week.
The Albany Guards and Prof.
Gearhart’s heavy gymnasttos attraot
tho young gentlemen, the' waterworks
compilation and politics take the
time of the gentlemen a little ad
vanced In years, and Chautauqua with
all.tts attendant interest In dress and
making preparations for expected
guests so fill the minds and take up
the time of ladles that everything
else gives way to meet the demands of
the time.
Sooiety Is not In It at present. She
has stolen quietly away to await the
Influx of fair visitors that the last
week of Chautauqua brings, nrid then
she will appear again with all her
multitudinous rest-breaking attrac
tions.

Whist Club No. 2 indulged Its week

at Mias Lena Kendall’s.
This olub does not play for a prize,
but they enjoy the weekly game at

V
A great deal of pleasure was enjoy
ed by the young people during last
Chautauqua 'at the Impromptu ger
mane given at the Mayo.
The rauslo was furnished by a band
that Mrs. Mayo had engaged for sev
eral weeks.
The arrangement, although It was
the source of much pleasure to those
fond of danolng, did not profit any
thing to the genial landlady of the
Mayo.
She has already received several
offers from orchestras In different
towns about Albany, that wish to sta
tion themselves here during Chautau
qua.
Now here is an opportunity for the
boys to seouro excellent mualo. at
oheap rates, maybe.
And would Chautauqua bo quite
Chautauqua without a pleasant little
german to attend each evening of tho
assembly week, os you oome home

There would certainly be something
amiss with Chautauqua if there was
not plenty of danolng and plenty of
good muslo to dance by.

This order and the Odd Fellows use
the same ball In the tKlrd story of the
Welch building. The Odd Fellows
had a meeting Tuesday night, and Mr.
McDowell, seeing the hall lighted, and
supposing that the R. A. R’s were
holding a meeting, went to the door
and demanded admittance. The door,
keeper wanted the password. "Oh,
you know me! I’m Will McDowell.”
Even this wouldn’t open the door, but
the doorkeeper still wanted tlic pass
word. “I’m Will McDowell, down
here at Gilbert’s drug store. I’ve
been initiated, let mo in.” Still he
was refused, and the password de
manded. For quite a while the appli
cant importured the dookeeper for ad

the Odd Fellows did not consider R. A.

doors.
