Now we will have waterworks and sewerage. “All’s well that ends well.” Lawyer roitntrkk scooped all the newspapers with his Central Railroad deal. All the bar roomB being closed yesterday, gave quite a Sunday appear ance to the city. The street crossings are indeed a blessing when the streets are as mud dy as they now are. Two good amateur athletes cannot handle Prof. Qearhart. It was tes ted yesterday morning. Prospective visitors to Chautau qua are, many of them, beginning to engage board already. The ponds in the neighboring coun try all have more water In them than they have had for quite a while. The Teachers’ Institute will HU Albany with sohool masters and mis tresses from cities,.villages and baok- woods. Senator Hill is being advised by some of his friends both in Washing ton and New York not to take his proposed Southern trip. Some persons are rafting a great many cedar logs down f’lint river, and haye landed quite a number of them just below the fair grounds. The wrestling matches between Messrs. Lockett and Bateman and Jones and Pate last Thursday night, bad to be drawn, as the contestants were too evenly matched for one to overcome the other except by a long struggle. • Editor Josh Jones, of the Calhoun County Courier, smiled upon the Herald Monday. He Is giving the people of Arlington and Calhoun county a good paper, and they are giving him a liberal patronage in re. turn.

IlnrrU Magaeated tor Caagreaa. ”*T0 ALBANY! S. Bell. Mr. and Mbs. C. R. Vincent, of New York, came up to Albany from Thomasville on Sunday! and remained until Monday, when they prooeeded on their homeward journey. They were well pleased with Albany, and said they would come again. Several Negro women standing in a bunch blockaded the sidewalk at Welch’s corner Saturday, and when policeman Barron tried to move them one old sister planted herself squarely in the middle of the pavement and defied any man to lay hands on her. A few hours In the guard house conr vlnoed her that she couldn’t monopol ize the whole Bldewalk. A handsome new mantel, built by Jay & Son, adorns the pleasant study of the pastor of the Baptist church.. It was put in this week. The mantel is a much more expensive one than was planned by the building committee, but the contractors, Jay & Smith, or dered the mantel and donated about one-third of its cost. Mr. Carroll is very proud of liis study now. Mr. J. • C. Cassidy, whose place of business was closed by the Sheriff a week ago, opened his store and resum ed business Ssturday, having made satisfactory arrangements with his creditors. Mr. Cassidy is no drone in the business hive, and is not the kind of man to be overcome by ordinary business difficulties. The Herald is glad to see him on his feet again. Officer Kemp thought he had found some big game at about 2 o’clock Tuesday morning. Messrs. J. J8. Davis, cashier, and Bryant Hodges, teller, were up until that late hour of the night working on their books. This was something unusual, and when the vigilant policeman, who went on duty ut 12 o’clock, made the discovery that somebody was in the bank he naturally supposed that a burglary was going on. The curtains were drawn down so Mr. Kemp couldn’t see who it was inside the hank, and lie rushed oil’ after liis part ner, Officer Mooney, and sooil return ed to make a raid, only to find that tlite supposed burglars were Messrs. Davis and Hodges. 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, audit ■ certainly demonstrated that great Individual benefit can be derived from a course of physical training. And Heat* af Faihion it lateral Oar Eadv Render*. “GEORGIA AND THE MOVTH.n SUNNY The Oeaatrr Areuad Alhaar Atlractlag the Aileallsa af Grape drawer,, The following is from theVIneyard- 1st, a-jburnal devoted to grape aulture, published at Penn Yan, New York: Thqdsvelppement of fruit growing in majjy Southern localities has orea- ted'a Remand for nursery stook that oannqt.be supplied by the local trade. Large,.orders are Bent to Northern propagators every year, whloh often times. (seriously tax the oapaofty of the nurseries, notwithstanding the faot 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 themed visit the “Sunny South” and examine the prospeota for Inoreased trade in that direction. 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 gueBt carry pleasant, recollections of Albany with him [for some time to come. ville, Poulan and westerly through to Atlanta. Dougherty oounty, of which Albany is the oounty seat, is tbe riehest and most fertile In the State. 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 visits,Ibis seotion should fail to oall on the genial doctor, who, together with prominent gentlemen of Albany, will give pli a feast of genuine hospitality. But let no man judge Georgia by any thing he may sea or hear at Wayoross. But the mammoth peaoh orchards, the wonderful pear groves and young but profitable vineyards must be seen to be appreciated. NOTHING I’NISVAL. 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. V Mrs. V, F. Gay, of Hardaway, and Miss GUI, of Persimmon Pond,, were In the 'oity Tuesday on a shopping expedition. V Whist Club No. 2 indulged Its week ly game of oards on Monday evening at Mias Lena Kendall’s. This olub does not play for a prize, but they enjoy the weekly game at whist most heartily. 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 from the tent? There would certainly be something amiss with Chautauqua if there was not plenty of danolng and plenty of good muslo to dance by. V Miss Ruth Nesbitt and Mr. Will MeGregor, of Newton, spent Mon day in the 'oity. They were entertained by Miss Mary Davis. V The fnolemenoy of the weather pre vented a meeting of the C. L. S. O. Monday evening. The meeting* of this organization will doubtless be more or leas Interrupted until after Chautauqua. *.* Mr. Piokens Baoon expects to leave for his home In North Carolina some day next.week. V Mrs. J. H. Callaway, of Douglasville, Ga., arrived Monday on a few week’s visit to her mother, Mr*. M. F. Mal lary. MU* Alice Mallary, wbo has been spending tome time with Mrs. Calla way In Douglasville, returned with her. V Mr. Fort Tarver Is not enjoying life it present; he is merely exUting. Do not press him to tell you how it happened. PENCIL AND SCISSORS. PERSONAL MENTION AND LOOAt GOSSIP. Sandwiched with Pleasantries fr.nl Many Sources. There is one little girl in Albany who has a very pleasant summer be fore her If she hut Improves the op portunity that has presented Itself. A trip to ifew York and a two or three months’ visit In different parts of that State and Ohio has been plan, ned for her. The little lady Is Miss Zacby Mayo, and she Is now puzzling her brains to decide whether the New York trip or home and mother are preferable for the summer’s vacation. Will McDowell is an. R. A. R. 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 mission, but he finally found out that the Odd Fellows did not consider R. A. R. membership sufficient to open their doors.
