Chautauqua visitors are, beginning to arrive very rapidly. Every day they come in on all the trains. There are some, people in Albany who never go to the Chautauqua.

KuHNS-Photographer, Albany. at robins Jiave all gone back 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. PERSONAL MENTION AND LOCAL GOSSIP. SnndwXched wtlb Pleasantries from Many Snarcee. A COLD BATH.

The following card from Mr. Milo Bull, whose daughter’s mnrringe was reported in the IIeiiald a few days ngo, explnins itself, nnd we gladly 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.
