'HIS WEEK -AT- [OFMAYER & JONES’, palace Building, ,, • 17 & 19 N. Washington. AT HOME. J. A. 81Mb —Dentlsi. J. G. CUTLIFP.—Dentist. HON. BEN E. RUSSELL. HE’S IN THE RACE FOR EON. URESIS W.T.KuHNs-Photographer, Albany. A good many of the younger men about town have been seized with the Texas fever since Mr. Gunnison's re turn from the I.one Star State. And Will Oullnne the , Fight Mtrnlght Democracy. The Rev. E. D. Carroll is going down to Newton to preach, next week. 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 watermelon.” Sheriff F. G. Edwards said this morning: “lean say something that few, if any, Sheriffs in the State can. I have been Sheriff of Dougherty county for fourteen years, and have never yet missed being present at but one court, and then on account of severe illness.” I i-3 I—* p po glii P- Pj P- I'g 86 B gHj 3 1 bJ t' <0 8 e*.B e 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 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. “Ltnoii de China,’’ the newest fabric for summer wear, to.bd found only At Hofmayer * Jones', Ho Drake Up Ike OnwA Sheriff Edwnrdi sauntered up to a crowd In front of Gilbert’s drug store at about 2 o’olook Wednesday and some one asked him if he had heard anything from the Chicago conven tion. “Yes; Cleveland nominated on the first ballot.” “Sure enough?” “Yes; that’s what they say.” “How did you get It?” “Well, Tom Hall said Bunk Smith told him that Bollle Hall”— “Oh, h—!" .sighed the crowd in ohorus, a* each turned away with a * red look, without waiting to hear le -High Sheriff through. , Kereaene.iao I*reef. Tea Cowls. Best Water-white Oil, 150 per cent., At 10c. per gallon. L. S. Plonsky, ^the 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, T* flee About Hepelrlez the Mteamer. The stockholders of the Albany Nav igation Company held a meeting at the Commercial bank Tuesday a. in. for the purpose of taking notion about having sonic much needed repairs made on the steamer City of Albany, whloh is at preseut laid up at the Bainbrldge wharf on account of a leak sprung a few days ago, It was decided to send a committee of several gentlemen down to examine the steamer, with a view of having her repaired at once, and It la thought that ahe will shortly be put Inflrst-class condition. 1 BRlTIMBR 1.1 grocer.

Wednesday afternoon from, abou 6:16 until 6 o'clock there fell one of the hardest rains in the history of Al bany. The wind was blowing pretty bard, too, from the northwest, and made the fall seem all the greater. It didn’t come in a regular, steady sue. cession of drops, but just poured down in heavy gusts, beating under doors and windows, flying under umbrellas to drench unfortunate pedestrians, and stopping up ditches and sewers. The ground is now thoroughly wet, and hag some to spare, and persons who have been wanting to see a good rain are now satisfied. Wauled. 260 grown Pigeons, at 12% cts apiece. 16-tf C. M, Shackelford. 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 feel better all the summer. isky. th 26*tf IHcImu aad C«lie BnmIi|< The melon trade is increasing, and probably tbe colio is, too. Four hundred and eighty-eight car loads (of melons, not oolic) have been (hipped through Albany since the be; ginning of tbe season.

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 sulted in weak and inflamed eyes fr months in persons whdae'eyes, hither! gave them no trouble whatever.
