It is useless for us to call attention
to the attractive advertisement of
Cutlllf & Jordan in this morning’s
’Herald. Every reader of the paper
will see it. But we want to say, by
way of emphasizing ivliat Messrs. Cnt-
liff & Jordan have said for themselves,
that they have a very, extensive stock
of clothing and gents’ furnishing
goods of every character In store, and
thnt they are reaching out for trade.
Cash purchasers will be, able to get
suits from then: at prices thnt will
compare very favorably with those of
nny of the large cities, ,nnd will find
an extensive stock from which to make
their selections.
Jin. and Mrs. K. L. Leuen have
moved back into their home,from which
they were driven by lire, a few weeks
ngo. The repairs on their house are
nenrly completed.
Some of Albany's musically inclined
young men are trying to organize a
brass band. Mr. George Oliver is the
leading spirit ill the movement, and
the band will probably be a reality
before long.
Mr. J. E. Billups; who lias just re
turned from a trip through a good por
tion of Alabama, says that the rail
roads are* advertising the Georgia
Chautauqua extensively. He saw the
advertisements nearly everywhere he
went.,
Mr. W. S. Bell is having some very
handsome and attractive signs painted
in tile large windows in the front of
his Washington street store. Mr.
Shropshire is doing the job, which is
considred by many to be bis crowning
effort. " -
Monday evening the Chnutauqua
chorus began practice on the Hallelu
jah chorus from the Messiah. Tills is
one of tile greatest choruses that the
world has ever known,and the master
ing of it will certainly be a feat for an
amateur chorus to accomplish.
Hubert Fields was arrested by
Officer Mooney in n house in the
Southern portion of the oity nbout
8 o’clock Monday night. He was drunk
and was raising merry Cain on the
strength of it. He slept off his drunk
last night in the guardhouse.
Col. Ed. R. Jones lias been chosen
by the Ladies’ Memorial Association
to deliver the address on Memorial
day. The selection of Mr. Jones is a
happy one, as he is a pleasant talker,
and will do honor to the position
which he has been chosen to till.
Officer Balky has peen oritlcised
for the part whioh he was reported to
have taken in the severe chastisement
of the little Negro boy, Andrew Fri
day, by his father, at the guard house
a few afternoons ago. In the Her-
ald’b report of the affair it was stated
that Mr. Baley held the boy’s head in
a crack in the guard house door while
the irate father plied the lash. The
statement wns made by the HeraLd
in good faith, but Mr. Baloy now in
forms us thnt it was told on him for a
joke by a fellow-policeman. We must
confess that we onn’t “see the point"
of the joke, nor what harm there
oould linye been in holding the wny-
ward boy for the old man to frail, but
we cheerfully make the correction, in
asmuch as it has been requested. We
have known “Old Spotty” to do tile
holding and frnlltug, too, on like oc
casions.
Many Albany people no doubt re
member Bill Moore, the man who wns
worked on the street chain gang sev
eral mouths ngo, and who caused the
city authorities so much trouble. Al
though Moore left here on a ticket
furnished by the city, and with the
understanding that he wasn’t to re
turn, lie was in town Wednesday, and
had enough of tjie “ardent” aboard to
make him talk like he owned a good
part of the earth.
HIGU1VAY ROBBERY.
A While Man Held Up and Bebbed by
a Negre.
Monday night at about, half past 11
o’olock, a white man named J. S.
Davis, who came here from Cordeie in
search of work, was held up and rob
bed by a Negro.
Davis and the Negro Imd been to
gether during the afternoon and enrly
part of the night, and the Matter met
the former a whilo after 11 o’clock and
told him Hint he had found a job for
him in one of the railroad yards.
“Como w-lth me,” said the Negro,
and I will take you to a man who says
he will put you to work to-morrow
morning."
Davis followed the Negro, nml wns
led off into n side street and robbed,
lie reported to the polioe soon nfter
being robbed, and, according to the
story lie tells, the Negro got the drop
on him with a razor. The first in
timation lie had that he had been led
inton trap waB when the Negro star
tled him with the demand, “Cap,. I
want that money—r know you’ve got
itt” ’ At the same time an open
razor wns held threateningly nt his
tliroat. lie gave up all the money lie
lind, $2.85, nnd his pistol.
When the Negro had procured the
money and the pistol he snid, “Now,
git!” Davis obeyed, nnd nt once went
ill search of the police. Officers Raley
and Barron saw the Negro and Davis
together before the robbery.

publish It in justice to all concerned:
Sylvester, Ga., March 21, 1892.
Mu. II. M. McIntosh, Editor, Al-
rany, Ga.—Dear Sir: Please allow
me space in your valued paper to cor
rect the false impressions of “those
present” at the marriage of my daugh
ter nt Hotel Mayo, Mnrch 18th,I nnd
niiow me to say that it wns known to
me nnd fully approved, business alone
preventing my attendance.
Yours respectfully,
Milo Bull.
Dan Muhuy, a Negro, wns arrested
by officer McLarty nnd delivered to
the county jail on Sunday afternoon.
He is charged with stealing a pair of
soldier pants from Bed Mitchell, a
member of the Colquitt Guards, nnd a
warrant is out for him charging • him
witli larceny.
The Rope Wnlk Wcdnradny Afternoon.
Wednesday morning a rope-walker’s
paraphernalia was unloaded at Lamar
& Sons’ corner nml a sign hung up,
which announced that Geo. W. Lesley
would walk the tight rope on Broad
street nt 8:80 o'clock.
Accordingly, at that hour a large
crowd had congregated to witness the
performance. A rope had been
stretched from the top of the Mayer
building to the top of Welch's corner,
and nt the adyertised time, after some
good work on the slack wire, Lesley
went out on the rope, and entertained
the crowd with some good feats for
half an hour. Miss Lesley, hiq sister,
took up a collection for the rope
walker. Every one pronounced the
exhibition good.
The merchants ought to be lenient
with their clerks nnd allow them to
attend the drills of the Guards. Among
the many companies that will be in
Albany on Military day, the Guards
of course want to make a good ap
pearance, and this end can only be
reached by constant drilling on the
part of the members.
Beginning on Monday next, the
banks of the city, as will be seen by a
notice In another column of this morn
ing’s Herald, will be open from 9 a.
m. to 2 p. m. during the Chautauqua
Assembly week. Business men should
'prepare to conform to these hours, as
the bank people will naturally want to
enjoy some of the privileges of Chau
tauqua.
Beatrice Miller and Mary Boyer,
two ladies of color, had a fuss on
Lamar’s qorner Wednesday afternoon.
One drew a knife on the other and was
giving her opponent a volley of hard
abuse, when officers Kemp and Mooney
arrested them both and lodged them
In the guard house. They were forced
to miss the rope walk, which nearly
broke their hearts.
M2ug!Uh Wnlnnli.'
Mr. J. J. Hall left at tlie Herald
office Wednesday sample? of English
walnuts grown on his place in East
Dougherty, near the Worth county
line. These walnuts compare favors'
bly, both in size and quality, with any
that we have ever seen, and Mr. Hall
has certainly demonstrated the fact
that English walnuts can be success
fully grown in Southwest Georgia.
The trees from which the samples
before us were taken are seven years
old, and they are now in full bearing.
Mr. Hall ordered the young trees from
a nursery, and says that they com
menced to bear in five years.
In addition to the trees now bearing,
Mr. Hall has quite a number of youn
ger ones that came from the first crop
of nuts that he made. He says that
the trees Beem to grow much, better
from the seed, and that he would ad
vise those who want to grow walnuts
to pfantthe nuts instead of ordering
trees.
Mr. Hall’s experiment with English
walnuts offers a suggestion to the land
owners of Southwest Georgia which
they should act upon at once.
An acre of Englifh walnuts in full
bearing would be Valuable.
The indications are that Alliance-
men Livingston nnd Peek will be mak
ing the fur fly from each other before
the fall elections are over. ’
The oity was thrown into a fever of
excitement nbout middny Tuesday
by ,n rumor that Mr. WisB, Smith hail
probably been drowned.Hls bnttenu lind
bcenmauglitflonting in Flint river,just
below the county bridge, by some of
the hands on the steamer City of Al-
bnny, and in it wns found n coat, which
was soon identified ns the one worn
by Sir. Smith.
A,.senroh wns at onoe begun for the
missing young mnn, but it was some
time before Ills anxious friends were
relieved by hearing thnt he was safe at
home.,
During the morning Mr. Smith nnd
Mr. W, L. Kemp took the former’s
boat and went up the river. They re
turned about dinner time, and when
.just below the fair grounds the boat
capsized, and they were both thrown
into the water.
The current there is very swift,
nnd, burdened ns they were with
clothing, the young men had a hard
job to reach the bank.
They at once prooeeded home, and
tlie boat went floating down the river.
When it was found,at the foot of Broad
street, every one supposed that Sir.
Smith'hnd beon drowned. It was not
known nt the time that Sir. Kemp had
been With him.
The young men only lost a few dol
lars nnd n bunch of keys, and are to bo
congratulated on their narrow escape.
Thor Obeyed lire luelmcllone.
There is a good joke on Prdf. Fitz
patrick,'anil he feels ns though ho
would like to thrash a half dozen of
his pupils for doing what he told them
to.
It happened this way:
While the milk wagon belonging to
Sir. G. Tom West was being driven
from house to house in the neighbor
hood of the Academy, the horses be
came frightened at a passing train,
and for a few minutes made things
lively for the driver and the milk cans.
There was a general spill in front of
the academy, and Prof. Fitzpatrick,
noticing the predicament of the driver
of said wagpn, called the names of six
or seven boys from his room and bade
them go out and help straighten up
mqtters.
They went, but to their delight,
found things In a worse condition
than anticipated. The tongue of the
wagon had given way in the pliinglng
and kicking of the frightened horses,
and the driver surveyed the ruins
with a doleful face, wondering how
the wagon could be taken back to the
farm.
The boys’ tender hearts were
touched, and turning to with a will,
they drew the milk cart, oans and
all, through the heavy sands, over hill
and down dale, the whole mile and a
half or two miles to Mr. West’s farm.
They came back to the school bouse
just in time to be dismissed for noon,
and at the Professor’s remarks on tlie
subject they blandly replied that they
were told th help the fellow out.
They got off that time, but if Prof.
Fitzpatrick does not improve the very
first opportunity to thrash every one
of the seven boys, he is not a mortal
man. .*
All the statesmen in the new
Eleventh district who have been
thinking that all that kept tbem„out
of Congress was the faot that they
were in the same distriet with Savan
nah and the Savannah politicians,
will have their inning this year— urn
til the Democratic convention meets.
But only one of them can go to
Congress.
