The Rev. E. D. Carroll is going

He received n letter from a brother
Baptist yesterday saying lie would
come after him next Monday, and that
he would have “a gentle horse and a

Sheriff F. G. Edwards said this
morning: “lean say something that
few, if any, Sheriffs in the State can. I

and then on account of severe illness.”

At the oillce of Mr. Gunn, the archi
tect,, this morning, a Hkrai.d man saw
the plans for a building that will be
the handsomest in Albany, If finished
according to the drawing, it is for
Messrs. Mayer & Crine, and Is to be
erected on their lot on Washington
street.
Mausiiai. Westbrook arrested Gen.
Stnbhs about noon Wednesday, and he
is now In jail on a charge of burglary.
Stubbs Is one of the Negroes who was
arrested with n gang of railroad burg
lars several months ngo, and was
turned loose, lie Is now arrested on
another warrant, sworn out on account
of more evidence secured.
Fishkhmkx are keeping the Kinclm-
foonee and Muckalee creeks red-hot,
Not a day passes that several anglers,
armed with rod, reel anil flies, do not
throw the waters and entice the black
bass from their hiding places. Many
good catches are made, the number
often running up Into the teens. There
is no liner sport in the world than
catching trout with rod and reel.
Handsome line of fancy parasols at
Hofmavkh & Jones’s.
A visitor to the Chicago convention
writes home to his friends of the ex
travagantly high prices charged for
everything in Chicago, He says the
Chloagoans are after the mighty dol
lar, and when they get It liangon to it.
He complains that at a small down
town restaurant he paid $1.75 for a
cup of coffee, a slioe of toast and a
boiled egg, and that a haokman charged
him $2 for carrying him two blocks.
No wonder they have money enough
to build “sky-scrapers” up In Chicago
if that is the way they gull the un
sophisticated country gentleman.
Here Is what a well-known citizen
of Albany remarked to a party of
friends on the street yesterday: “I
heard something a few days ago that
was told me for a fact, and the party
who told me aatd he hid seen'It tried
successfully, but I can’t hardly believe
it. If you will take a tub of ‘water,
large enough to swim a good-sized
fish, place it on a pair of scales and
weigh It, and then drop a live fish
weighing, say five pounds, into the
tub, the soales won’t show that the fish
has made the whole weigh any more
than the tub of water did before the
fish was put into it.”
Bargains on all lines of goods this
week at Hofmayer & Jones’.
To the man who is familiar with
the habits of the Southern trout or
blaok bass and the several varieties ol
bream and pereh that abound in our
streams,'and who knows what to do
with a good fly rod outfit, there is noth'
ing in the way of sport and reoreatlon
to compare with a day on the Kineha-
foonee or Muckalee. Yesterday Mr.
A. F. Floyed brought in fourteen bass
and three pereh, from the Muckalee,
and the day before another enthusias
tic disciple of Sir Xzaak ' Walton
ought in fifteen bass and a bream
from the crystal waters of the beauti
ful Klncbafoonee.

A BIRTHDAY FETE.
HI— Pearl Frrrrrier Celebrates Rer
Tenth RlriMar.
Bxeeptleaallr Pleasant Time at
Arcadia East Night.
A favor german hns not been given
in Albnny for nearly two yeers, and
wishing to do something pleasant, for
the members of the dancing class and
for their plnnist, Mrs. C. M. Clark,
Miss Carrie Hill prepared a large
number of favors to be used Thursday
night at their weekly german.
It was the first time that many of
the younger members of the clnss had
danced a favor german, and so the
novelty was added to their pleasure.
Mr. and Mrs. R. Dee Jones and Mr.
and Mrs. John D. Pope led, and the
gentlemen made use of the prettiest
figures within their knowledge. Mrs,
R. N. Westbrook and Mr. G. Simmons
presided at the favor table.
About sixteen couples were present,
and the dance was prolonged consider,
ably beyond 11 o’clock, the hour of
oloslng that the dancing class has
adopted.
All who were present last night feel
Indebted to Miss Hill for the extra
pleasure that her favors added to the
dance. Her kindness gave fresh lm.
petus to the Interest felt In theolsss,
and nlsn gave them some new ideas as
to enjoyment for the future.
They are now planning a “dower
german” to be given next week. The
details of the arrangements have not
been decided on yet,but this Is known—
that each young lady is to represent a
certain flower and Is to prepare a bou
quet. of the flower that she wears for
her partner.
It is certain to be a very pleasant
affair, and In these dulltlmes anything
new In the shape of pleasure is hailed
by the young people with delight.

The residence of Mr. J. R. Forrester
presented a very festive appearance
Tuesday night. The lawn and porch
were dotted with Japanese lanterns,
lights streamed from the open doors
and windows, music and laughter and
gay conversation were heard from
within, and children clothed in their
daintiest attire danced to the strains
of the music.
The occasion was the anniversary of
the tenth birthday of Miss Pearl For
rester, and she oelebrated It by enter
taining about thirty of her young
friends,
Arrangements had been made to
dnnee the german, and as the young
people were eager to show their knowl
edge of the terpsiohoroan art, they
began early, led by Mr. Pride Ratter-
ree and Miss Pearl Forrester, ably as
sisted by Mr. James Melton and Miss
Dslsy Hester, and danced until the
doors of the refreshment room were
thrown open and they were nvited to
partake of the sherbet, oream, cakes,
nuts etc., etc., that had been prepared
for their denotation.
They feasted and made merry, and
the littlh ones grew merrier and mer
rier as the refreshments rapidly disap
peared,
A birthday cake, containing a small
ring at solid gold, was eagerly sur
rounded by the young people and
watuhed intensely by them aa one
after another cut a slice of it in hopes
of finding the pretty souvenir. But
piece after piece of it disappeared and
the little ones began to think that,
somehow, the ring failed to get in the
cake, wl;en a triumphant, small voice
cried, “I’ve got It, I've got it!” and
Master Paul Jones held up the golden
circlet to the admiring gaze of the less
fortunate ones.
A few more Agures of the german
were danced, and then the young peo
ple bade their little hostessgood night,
wishing her many happy returns of
the day, and thanking her for a very
pleasant time,

It does a person good to get away
from the cares andviolssitudesof busi
ness life and hie himself away to a
spot where there is nothing to worry
the mind, and where perfeot rest oan
be had. If for only a week does the
vacation last, still this will be a long
enough time to renew the mental and
pbyaioal strength, and make one feel
more like attending to the taaks of
life. It will be a good investment for
you to go off a while and thoroughly
rest ydorself, where you ean get the
behefit of breezes either from the moun-
dtaln or tbe sea. Go off somewhere an

Several new cases of the- measles are
reported. That mild Illness which la
now prevailing among the children of
the city is a peculiar form of the meas
les called the German measles.
It - seldom (proves fatal but is a dis
ease that seems to affect tbe eye* more
than any other part of the body, and if
liable to leave them in a very bad con.
ditlon. The German measles are gen
erally more contagions tban tbe com
mon measles, and those who bave had
muoh experience with them say that
they produce very light illness bnt
that care should be taken of the eyes.
The patient should be kept in a room
from which all strong light iscsrafnlly
excluded, and his eyes should be pro
tected from tbe light by a shade lor
several days after bi* recovery from
them.
Carelessness in tbis respect has re
