The round, fat, juicy watermelon is
getting ratlier plentiful on the home
market.
Politics and politics and the weather
is all that is heard discussed on the
streets these dnys.
A great ninny Albany people have
gone off to spend the summer at dif
ferent resorts, and many are yet to
leave.
The thermometer is beginning to
hump Itself. It is getting up toward
the nineties, and has plenty of room to
rise yet.
A D1BAGRKKAIII.K tllOllgll [lot dllU-
gerons epidemic of measles has inva
ded Albany. Between twenty and
thirty cases nre reported. '
The military in camp at Griffin tl is
week nre short of Captains. There are
four companies in the camp .under
command of Lieutenants.
Every Northward bound train from
Albany now carries Its quota of pass
engers bound for some breezy, healthy
spot wherein to spend the summer
mouths.
Several loads uf due melons were
brought into the city this morning
nnd marketed. The largest one
brought in yet weighed thirty-four
pounds.
The residences of Messrs. \V. S.
Fleming and C. W. Raw-son, on Jack-
son street, are rapidly nearing comple
tion, end will probably be finished in
about three weeks.
Jt is stated that Mrs. McKinl,ey
takes a deep interest in politics from n
personal standpoint, and the Governor
of Ohio saya that it is nil he can do to
keep up ills side of the argument with
her.
The contemplated improvements 011
the Dougherty county Court House
will make that building one of the
handsomest in this section of the State,
ft la thought that the grounds will be
improved and turned into a park and
a town clock pinced in the oupolu.
The ilrat stock uompany in America
ever operated by women alone is a
Woman’s Dormitory Association in
connection with the World’s Fair.
The association has erected four large
dormitories 011 the World’s Fair
grounds for the accommodation of
women. Lodging in these dormitories
will be let at 80 cents a tiight, special
privileges given to shareholders.
Stock to tlie amount of $125,000 will be
issued at $10 a share. The dormitories
will be plain, but clean and neat; and
each dormitory will accommodate
1,200 women. No mere man wil ibe per
mitted to pry within those sacred por
tals; so great a personage, even, ns
Commissioner General Palmer being
refused admission. The dormitories
are chiefly intended for ladies who iti-
tend visiting the Fair in bodies. Ah
ready scores of beds have been en
gaged, nnd the flrst stock- company in
America ever operated by women
alone promises to be a distinct flnati-
oiai success^
According to the London Army nnd
Navy Gazette tile average Btreligtli of
the British army 111 1891 was 209,699,
of wliioh number 104,800 were in the
British Isles, 72,288 in India, and 82,-
267 in the Colonies and Egypt. The
territorial system of recruiting, it has
been asserted, simply creates unneces
sary confusion; and as that portion of
the population which yields the most
soldiers is migratory, the Gazette is of
the opiiiom that It might be better to
take the recruits without reference to
territorial divisions. Thera has been
some discussion of late in this country
as to whether there might not be some
gain in a system that would localize
recruiting for our own army, which
would secure the advantages of ac
qunintnnceship nnd comradeship
among the recruits, as well as the op
portunity of getting men whose ante-
cedents would be known, and who
would be less liable to desert. The
experience of Great Britain with her
army is, therefore, worthy of the con
sideration of our military experts.
The practical utility of athletics is
being demonstrated by a relay bicycle
courier service between Columbus, O.
and Indianapolis. Arrangements
have been made by the Indianapolis
News and the Columbus Dispatch with
the Indianapolis Zig-Zag Club and
the bicycle clubs of Columbus, Dayton
and Richmond, to carry a message
from the editor of the Columbus Dis
patch to the editor of the News, and
to take back a reply. The idea of
adopting athletics to practical journa-
lism is an innovation that will be ob
served with interest, throughout the
country. If it proves successful, it
will show that the bicycle, besides
being useful for pleasure and' health,
may have a wider field of utility. To
stimulate the riders to greater efforts,
the News has offered a silver cup to
the Indiana club making the best time
between Indianapolis and Ricmond
and the Columbus Dispatch hasJJffered
a Bilk pennant to the club making the
best time between Columbus and
Springfield.

The/oterle of five young ladies who

they, doubtless, are lonely.

The young lady who has just re

tlie lion’s share of attention. There is
something so pleasing nnd attractive
in the freshness and Innocence of 11

neither beauty, cultivation nor wit

years before they call claim the sheep

A Mil AM BATTER
io IVhnl Ike People of Albany May Wit-
How would you like to see a slinm
battle?
The answers to this question will nil
probably be the same, for there ure
likely to be very few persons who
won’t go a long distance to see seveiity-
flve or a hundred men deployed as
skirmishers nnd firing at an imaginary
enemy, or two opposing forces in bat
tle array struggling for the possession
of some spot,
During tlie encampment at Chica-
mauga in 1891, the whole of the two
regiments in camp engaged in a sham
battle, and persons who witnessed it.
say it was one of the most inspiring
sights they ever beheld.
Now a plan is on foot to have a sham
battle in Albany, as there was none at
the last encampment. Of course it
could not be conducted on such a large
scale, but could be easily arranged so
as to make an Interesting spectacle, as
well as furnish those engaged in It
with a great deal of vuluahle instruc
tion.
A reporter of tlie Herald saw Capt.
W. E. Wooten this morning,and found
that two plans were on foot in regard
to the matter. One is to get about
forty members of the Guards inter
ested, and drill them up so that they
understand tlie principles of skirmish
ing thoroughly. Besides giving
skirmish battle, two companies, of
twenty men each; can be formed, and
engage in a regular tactical battle.
The other plan is to invite a com
pany from some neighboring town to
come over and join with the Guards,
thus making a more imposing array.
At the next meeting of the company
the matter will be thoroughly dis
cussed, and it is thought final arrange
ments made. There will be no trouble
about getting ammunition, as the com
pany already has 500 rounds, and can
easily get more.
The battle will probably take place
either at Arcadia, on the Cutliff place,
just west of the city, or in the pine
woods in the rear of the Albany
Academy.
If matters can be arranged so as to
have the battle, it will make an inter
esting and imposing Bight, and the
whole of Albany will go out to wit
ness it. ■:

It will be remembered that several
weeks ago Mr. 3. W. Gunnison, having
sold out (ils business in Albany, left
for Texas on -what might be called
prospecting tour through the Lone
Star State.:
Many Albanians feared that Mr.
Gunnison might' find things so in
viting in the West that the city would
lose him through its attractions, but a
postal card, written by lilm to a gen
tleman in Albany several days ago,
shows that lie has no intention what
ever of leaving 11s. After speaking
of some business matters, Mr. Gunni-
son says: “Texas is a great State, but
when it it comes to get up and get,
Georgiu can see her blind.”
Old wire-grass Georgia is ahead, and
will stay there.
News reached the city about 8
o’clock p. m. Wednesday that Mr. A. A.
Collier, of Warwick, commonly known
in Albany as “Holl" Collier, Imd been
seriously cut in a difficulty last utglit.
The full particulars could not be
learned before going to press, but It
seems Hint last night Mr. Collier in
some way became Involved in a diffi
culty with one John Posey, who drew
a knife and cut Mr. Collier in four
places. Two wounds, reaching to tlie
lungs, were made in the brenst, nnd
two dangerous outs, one on enoli side,
in the abdomen.
Mr. Collier is a brother of Mr. Ben
Collier, of this city, ami his many
friends here hope that he may soon re-
oover from Ills dnugeroiiB hurts.

for the second time'in the pnst few
months,
Laramore comes to Albany quite
frequently, and it is almost invariably
the case that lie fills, himself with bev
erages that are calculated to upset his
mental equilibrium.
Monday I10 came to tlie-city and by
night was, as usual, completely upset.
About 10 or 11 o'clock he went to a
house near the river, and going in
pulled out his gun and proceeded to'
clean things out.
Officer Jim Kemp was sent for, and
going down, arrested Laramore and
carried him to the lockup. He Will
answer to the city for his conduct,
and the county will handle him for
carrying concealed weapons.
