From Friday's Evening Herald.
Newa reached the olty this morning,
that the Brunswick State Bank, an
other of tho linancial institutions of
the city by the sea, had closed its
doors.
The news reached Albany through a
private special to a certain prominent
oitizen, and came from a well known
gentleman of Brunswick. No cause
s assigned, but to the general
stringency In tlnanoial eiroles attend
ant upon the recent failures of banks
and business houses, the failure is at
tributable.
Many persons who are posted in re
gard to the condition of ailairs in
Brunswiok, fear that the end is not
yet, and expect other failures, but ’tis
to be hoped that the worst is past.
The other two hanks of the city are
paying all checks promptly, and no
fears whatever of their going under
are entertained.

“Mr. R. H. Brooks has In his posses
sion a portion of an t old newspaper
published probably at Albany, Ga., In
1848.
The name of the paper and that of
the publisher has long since been
worn away, but it was doubtless the
only newsparer published at that
time in this seotion of Southwest
Georgia, One page is filled with offi
cial notices of the oountles of Lee,
Dooly, Baker, Decatur, Randolph,
Sumpter and Early,' each county at
that time covering a much larger area
than at present, from which several
smaller counties have been made. _In
its columns is a proclamation of
George W. Towns, then governor of
Georgia. Wesley Sheffield was
sheriff of this county and
James G. Collier was clerk of #he
court. Sheffield has long since passed
away, but Collier, a very old man, yet
lives In Spurger, Tex., and the editor
of this paper receives business letters
from him occasionally, though he is
more than SO years of age.
Tlie Presidential campaign was on
and war was being waged between
the Whigs and Democrats. The paper
seems to have supported Clay lor the
nomination, and attacks the political
creed of General Zachary Taylor
It seems lo have been a llrst-class
newspaper and was well up with the
history of the times, us the foreign
correspondence shows. News from
the battle Helds of Mexico; from op
pressed Ireland, struggling then as
now for independence; nn edict of the
emperor of Austria, Ferdinand I., de
claring peace and granting privileges,
for which tho provincial States of the
Empire had been fighting, is con
tained in its closely printed columns.
The mechanical “get up” of the
paper is very good indeed, though
some of the advertisements are rather
unique. One in particular will show
tile almost sacred value of a black
clotli coat, at that time. It is as fol

texture of which is like that of soft

From Saturday’. Kvrnino 1Ikhai.ii.
While n reporter of the Herald was
on the rounds for news this morning
he encountered one of the most prom
inent farmers/n Georgia, and, in an
swer to a query as to the condition of
the farms, in general, ho said:
“Well, I can say positively that
everything in my neighborhood is
moving along nicely,.and the chances
are very flattering for a most prosper
ous year. And from what I can learn
from other seotions of tho country I
have reason *to believe that the out
look, generally, is very good.”
“How about cotton?” asked the re
porter.
“I think there will be a large crop—
though not a fine one by any means.
The cool weather we experienced up
to a oouple of weeks ago did not do
cotton any good, and I am of tho opin
ion that its growth will be impeded
considerably—with chances of a
marked appearance of “rust" and lice.
Rut it has taken a, very decided turn
for the better of Intc—on account of
tlie warm weather we have had, you
know.”
“Whatof the other orops?" ventured
the reporter.
“Couldn’t wish for-anytlnng better.
We’vo been cutting oats of late, as you
know, and I don’t believe that there
was ever a liner yield of that com
modity than tho present one. Then,
the corn is very good, too, and with
anything like n continuation of favor
able seasons I think every farmer will
have plenty of corn in the orib by the
time cold weather comes again.”
“How about the hog “crop?”
“Well, sir, that haB served to buoy
my spirits more than anything else
that I know of. There were many
mpre hogs raised laBt. year than any
one has any idea of,'but-1 will venture
the assertion that there will be fifty
per cent, more hogs raised this year
than in any gne year within the past
decade. Just a« the IThr.vld has said;
there is but, one thing needod and
that’s a oold storage in Albany—where
hogs can be killed, the meat Btored
away and used as suits the owner. I
hope suoli a thing will soon be estab
lished in this oity.”
“You think that everything is en
couraging, then?”
T do—l most certainly do. Ihavcn’t
got much money myself just nuw, but
I’m going to have some this fall.”
.Death ef Buford W. Waller..
From Monday's Kvening Herald. ,
Mr. Buford W. Walters, the eigh
teen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J.
W. Walters, of this oity, departed this
life at 0:20 o’olock this morning.
On|y the members of the family and
few intimate friends knew of the
young nian’B illness, and when it was
reported on the streets, this morning,
that he was dead, it was a terrible
shook to every one, for no young man
of the city counted his friends in
greater numbers than did Bufurd Wal
ters.
Last Wednesday afternoon Mr. Wal
ters participated in tho target oontest
of the Albany Guards, but before he
left the oity lie ate a small piece of
pineapple, which, It is thought, was
the cause of bis death.
But he went to the oontest, return
ing to the city late in the afternoon.
That 'night he was suddenly seized
with hollo, which lasted until morn
ing, when Dr. W. W. Bacon was called
in to see him. The doctor diagnosed
the obbo, gave what medicines he
thought necessary, returning several

Mr. J. S. Davis, of thlfe city, spent
yesterday at Sumner, Worth county,
the oooaslon that carried him there
being the closing exercises of tlie
Sumner High School.
Mr. Davis delivered nn address on
tho subject of education to n large nnd
appreciative audience, yesterday
morning, and delivered the prizes to
tlie pupils to whom they had been
awarded by the teachers last night,
lie grew eloquent when'speaking to a
IIkhai.d man to-day about the Sumner
High School and tlie interest that the
people of Smniier and vicinity are
taking in the education of their chil
dren. lie was delighted with his
day’s experience, and spoke m the
highest terms of praise of Prof., and
Mrs. II. A. Smiley, who have charge
of the school. Miss Ida McCormick,
tlie music teacher, also came
ill for some very high compliments.
iMr. Davis devoted several years to
school touching so»n after lie left col
lege, and has been nn enthusiast on
tlie subject of education all Ills life,
and he snysthnt he has never found a
better organized and more thoroughly
taught school than that at Sumner.
He was grntilied, too, to ace the good
people of the entire community turn
out to witness tlie closing exercises of
tlie school, manifesting un interest in
the education of their children that is
not only encouraging to the children,
but to tlie teachers as well.

tient.
By Friday morning young Walters
felt so much improved that he came
down town and remained quite a
while,'expeoting to resume his duties
at the'Mayer & Crlne Furniture Store,
where ho was employed, Saturday
morning; but, whon Saturday came,
he was so muoh worse that Dr. Bacon
was again called in, this time discover
ing very severe bilious collo.
During Saturday and Saturday
night Dr. Ilaci h was constantly by the
side of the young sufferer, doing all
that was known to modern niedioal
science to alleviate the exoruciatipg
pain. But the medioines failed to take
•ffeot, and Mr. Walters grew rapidly
worse.
Sunday morning. Dr. Bacon called
in Dr. P. L. Illlsmnn, and the two
worked beroiaally all yesterday and
last night, endeavoring to stay the
.bRItdj^jfMt approach tug death, for
tliej'baiKaAltaed that congestion anil
Inflammation bad set in and that the
case had assumed a very • oritloal as-
peot.
During last night and up to the
time of his death this morning, at the
hour above stated, young Walter’s
Bufferings were Intense, Indeed; Ins
mind wandered and Ills features were
contorted almost beyond recognition.
Death llnally relieved his sufferings;
and, surrounded by anxious physicians
and loving and loved ones, Ills spirit
winged Its flight to the Great Beyond.
As above stated, Buford W. Walters
was the eighteen-year-old son of Col.
Jesse W. Walters, of this oity, one of
the most prominent members Of the
Georgia bar, whoso many friends
throughout this and other States will
join the Herald in extending to him
and Ills family heartfelt oondolenco
ill this great hour of grief.
“Bu” Walters, ns he was familiarly
called by his many friends, was n
bright young fellow, and it would hnve
been only a few months, had ho lived,
before entering upon collegiate course
and studies for the bar.

A clerk In a prominent hurdware
store in the oity received an order
tiffs morning which read something
like this:
“Send six dozen solid steel Bcrews,
'specially selected, same size small
sixes—single spiral, strong, safe,sure;
such us shall bu suitable to securely
and steadily swing said shutters,
said shutters shall shut smoothly,
softly and silently and not shriek,
slum and slap.”
The alliterative customer evidently
became dlsghsted when he had written
the order, for he added'the following
postscript;
‘‘Surely, sir, ’souse such silly Stull'.
I stnrted straight but soon strayed
into a scribbling strain and seemed
couldn’t stop, sincerely, S. SI S.”
The order was filled promptly, but

will sing, as each barrel is started on
its way, asortof notification to “look

will answer in away that means "lot

I caught were, “Bar’l, bar’l, hero goes
