OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THE CANDLE FLY.
The candle-fly flickers around and
around,
Then he flops right down with a flut
ter,
But it’s no use looking—he is not to he
found,
For he sinks out of Bight in the but-
-1 ter.
“ You can nevermore avoid
Being thucwise annoyed.
ust as long as you idolize the quarter,
The provisions will be slim,
And the candle flies will swim
n the butter, for it’s soft as the water.
That-is what people who do not use
Refrigerators have to contend with, but
y the use of the “Baldwin Dry Air Re
frigerator" you can keep your Fresh
Meats, Vegetables, Milk and Butter per
fectly cool, fresh and sweet.
Remember there is no unpleasant
odor from the dry air circulation.
Try one and keep your family healthy
and cool.
Don’t worry and toil,
Buy fresh meats to spoil,
Then rave and get hot in the collar,
Just go ’round to Bell’s
And the “Baldwin” he sells
Will keep your meats sound as a dollar.

Business Is picking up.
Cotton prices go up gradually.
Albany's wholesale trade is increas
ing.
Tnic clearinghouse certificates are
in it now for a fact.
Arcadia is fast becoming a thickly
settled north Albany.
The sidewalks of the oity are in first
rate condition this summer.
Yes, my son, those Albany clearing
house certificates were printed at the
Herald oflloe.
That Albany is the ootton market
of the country is attested by her
heavy receipts.
The days grow perceptibly shorter,
and darkness falls around before we
are aware of its presence.
It will not be very long before the
leaves on the chinaberry trees will be
gin to turn yellow and fall ofi under
the influence of autumn weather.
TnE handsome residence of Dr,
Jerry G. Cutliff, on Jefferson Btreet, is
rapidly nearing completion, and will
be one of the very prettiest homes of
Albany.
Now tile Albany Clearing House
certificates are ready for circulation
But they are not for free distribution,
and you will have to do as much work
or give as much in exchange for one
of them ns you would for a silver dol
lar or bank note.
Here is a piece of good advice to the
ohurches from the Watchman : “About
the last thing in the world a ohuroh
should do is to wash its soiled linen in
public. The furnaces that consume
their own smoke afford a good model
upon which to construct the adminis
tration of church affairs.”
Women who find their wardrobe
limited oan get a little comfort from a
remark made at a Philadelphia dinner
the other evening by n baohelor of
reoognized taste. “I do like a woman,’
he said, “who stioks to one or two be
coming dresses. She and her dress
then become identified with each
other, and one gets a distinct idea of a
girl in one’s mind. But if she is one
day in blue and another in yellow and
the next in red, the individuality of
the wearer is quite subservient to that
of the gown, and it is just like looking
at so many fashion plates or a kaleido
scope.”
Savannah mourns the loss of many
of her beautiful shade trees whloh
went down before the terrible
storm of Sunday night. The
Press of yesterday says: “Savan
nah’s glory is in her shrde treos.
Hundreds of these were ruined by the
storm. It is to be hoped that great
care will be taken in trimming and
straightening those that are damaged.
The shade trees should be dealt with
tenderly. They cannot be replaoed In
a day. The trees and parks are worth
a great deal to Savannah. For beauty,
comfort and health nothing oan take
their place. This is the time to show
the greatest care in looking after the
treesin the public parks and thorough
fares and in private property.”
Ii’i Mallet Again*
Inasmuch as the yellow fever scare
has about subsided the quarantine
which was placed upon fish, eto., from
the coast, has been raised and the
“pop-eyed” will again soon delight the
vision of cuffy. It iB not thought that
there is any further danger in allow
ing fish and the like to come in the
oity, and thus the quarantine on them
was raised.
A New Dry fiSooilN Htorc.
Mr. W. P. Haugabook will leave in
a few days for the Northern markets
where he will purchase a large stock
of goods preparatory to opening up a
dry goods store in the Westbrook
building in this city, lie expects to
be ready for business about Sept. 10th.
Mr. Haugabook is one of Albany’s
prominent young business men,
and the Herald predicts for him a
deserved success in mercantile per-
suits.

MADE A HIT.
An Eloquent Speech Proin Our Ben In
(JongreMa.
Congressman Ben Russell entered
the arena of the silver debate Thurs
day and delivered a ringing speech in
advocaoy of free coinage of silver.
Among other things Congressman
Russell said:
“It has been said that Nero had
fiddled while Rome was burning, and
now when cotton and wheat were go
ing down, the American Congress was
fiddling, consuming the time, telling
tbe same story over and over again
and tbe people were in distress. This
was not a fight between the Republi
cans and the Democratic parties. It
was a fight between the money classes
and the laboring classes.”

The entire South Atlantic ooast was
swept by a terrific storm 011 Sunday
night.
A telegram In Monday’s Herald
reported considerable damage at
Brunswick; but the storm ap
pears to have been niuoli worse at
Savannah, and perhaps increased in
violence at points oil tile coast farther
east.
Monday's Savannah News devotes
most of its space to a local report of
the storm, anil we make the following
extracts from 1*:
Almost on the anniversary of the
great hurricane of 1881, Savannah was
swept last night by onp of tile severest
storms it has ever known. A11 esti
mate of the damage is yet impossible.
Many lives, It is believed, have been
lust on Hutchinson island, and on the
lowlands along the river. The num
ber, however, will probably never be
known.
Many of those lost were Negroes
who lived on the rice plantations and
along the river banks.
KILLED BY A LIVE WIRE.
The only fatality reported In tile
oity was a Negro who was struck by
a live wire at Bryan and Abercorn
streets and instantly killed.
The storm was at Its highest pitch
between 10 and 11 o’clock when the
wind' reached a velocity of seventy
miles an hour, the greatest ever re
corded by the weather bureau, that of
the hurricane 01 1881 being estimated
at seventy-five or eighty miles, but no
record was possihle. the Instruments
having been blown away.
The rain fell in torrents and was
blown like mi§t, beat against walls
and buildings In sheets, flooding the
streets and penetrating every crevice,
beating its way under roofs, smashing
window panes and pouring in streams
into residences and business houses,
deluging everything.
STARTING OF THE 8TOI1M.
The storm whloh had been predicted
by the. weather bureau for several
days, began early in tbe afternoon and
increased from then on until It
reiohed the cllmnx between 11 and
12 o’clock last night having blown for
eight hours In a terrilio hurricane. It
began raining early in the morning,
but only in gusts. After the first fall
it ceased entirely for several hours and
did not begin again until afternoon.
Then the wurk of destruction began
and lasted until the storm had spent
its force.
At midnight nil the wharveB along
the river front and the Ocean Steam
ship Company and Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway wharves were
under water and the tide was still ris
ing rapidly. Hutohinson Island was
inundated and those who did not leave
were probably drowned. Cries for
help were heard to-day across the
river and several attempts were made
to send rescuing parties, but In the
storm and heavy current it was im
possible in tbe darkness to reach them.
A number was rescued before the
island was covered, and many who
went aorosB Baok river Into South
Carolina are believed to have been
lost.
A CYCLONE TOWARDS CHARLESTON.
The passenger train on the Charles
ton and Savannah railroad arrived
about an hour and a half late last
night. The trainmen reported that at
the railroad orossing four miles out of
Charleston they encountered thu de
bris of a cyclone that had passed that
point earlier in the morning. Tele
graph poles and fragments of box cars
ittereil tile track and Imd to he re
moved before the train could proceed.
A number of box cars that had been
standing on a siding at the crossing
were bluwn some distnnoe from .the
track and were entirely demolished.
A number of Negroes had taken refuge
from the storm in what was left, of
those that were not destroyed.
The detailed report published by the
News shows that property was dam
aged throughout tbe oity, and that the
rice plantations in the country around
Savannah were all inundated.
WHY NOT NAME ITT
A Ilcaatiful Mtreniu Thai C'au’l Bonn
Enn a Name*
’Tis rarely the case tlmt in a country
as thickly settled as is Southwest
Georgia, there should flow n stream as
large as a river, and yet be unnamed,
and only designated as “a creek,”
A little over two miles north of the
Court House, Klnchnfooneeand Muck-
alec creeks unite their waters, and flow
together, a distance of three-fourths
of a mile, tb Flint river. The union
of the two creeks makes a stream that
is broad, deep and swift, and is a great
place of resort for fishermen, yet the
only name by which any one has ever
been known to speak of It is “the two
creeks.” !(*•
At the point where they meet, Kinch-
afoonee is the longer, and it seems that
its name might hold good until it
reaches the river, but no one ever
calls the two creeks “Kincliafoonee.”
Some of the boatmen, fishermen and
lovers of the creek have suggested
names, any one of which would answer
all intents and purposes, but
none has never been adopted.
Through a combination of cer
tain syllables of Klncbafoonee
and Muckalee, some peculiar and a
few rather startling names are pro
duced.
Kinchalee doesn’t sound bad, nor
does Kinclee. Muckafoonee is easy to
articulate^ but hasn’t so muoh sym
phony,

you suggest?

THE COPPER WAS GAY.
Bnt He Couldn't Fool the Daughter of the
Clilor or Police.
He was a St. Paul policeman. He
stood on tho corner knocking flies
from tho back, of Ilia neck and look
ing wise. A sweot little miss, ap
parently of 22 summers and with an
appearance unmistakably southern,
approached him and timidly in
quired:
“Can you direct mo to the Metro
politan Opera House?”
Tho “copper” sized her up, then
thrust his big chin into tho air again
aud indifferently rojilied:
“Waal, yis.”
He said 110 more, and she waited
patiently for a moment. Tho wise
boy was unmoved and stood like a
dummy iu its niche.
“Well?” she finally inquired a little
impatiently.
The copper gazed at her from over
his chin and looked as though he had
never seen hor before.
“I asked you," she said with ex
asperation, “if you could direct me
to the Metropolitan Opora House.”
■ “I kiu,” lie replied stiffly.
“Well, why don’t you do it then?"
“Why, ma’am,” in astonishment,
“yo didn’t ax me."
She looked ut him pityingly for an
instuut, then she grow angry.
‘ ’Look hero, Mr. Cigarsign, or what
ever you aro,” she said, “if you are
limed to play jokes on the public you
ought to get a permit. I asked you
a civil question, aud you answerod
me with an alleged joke that is so
old that it lian white whiskers—a
joke that Billy Emerson got off in
tho Boston Museum a hundred years
ago. If this is your sooond time on
earth, you ought to hang out a sign,
for peoplo might think you aro an
innocent little thing and steal you
some warm afternoon. I want to
tell you that my father Is oliief of
police, and if you don’t show me ex
actly where that theater is, and that
within two minutes, I’ll tell father
the whole business and might induce
him to start you on the hunt for a
job."
She paused a moment, and the
“copper’s" attitude underwent an im
mediate and surprising change. He
attempted to apologize, but she
wouldn’t have it. At a S :40 gait he
started in the direction of the the-
ator, the young girl smiling as she
toddled along at his heels. The the
ater reached, she smiled and soldi
“There, you old rello of a forgot
ten past, I goteven with youfor your
smartness. I never saw the ohief of
police,” and she hummed a bar of
“Do Not Forget Me” as she disap
peared within the playhouse.—St.
Paul Pioneer Press,
A Roll* of 17TS.
Captain G.W. Bullone, United States
inspector of boilers, has a pocket piece
which he prizes highly. It is a cop
per token or souvenir just the size of
a silver dollar, issued by authority of
the First congress and bearing the
date “177#."
On one side is the familiar relief of
the Goddess of Liberty, beneath her
the date, and over her head a group
of IS stars with spreading rays be
neath them. Around these is the in
scription containing the first of the
self evident truths of the Declaration
of Independence, viz, “These united
colonies are and of right ought to be
free and independent states.” The
inverse side is so worn that all the
lettering cannot be read. Around the
margin are the words, “By authority
of the congress of the United States."
Inside of this is a wreath forming a
full circle, in the lower part of which
appear the words, "American inde
pendence." Abo vo these words the
surface is worn, and only the letters
‘ion” can be made out.—Seattle Post
Intelligencer.
