Fire wns discovered In the store of
Mr. S. It. Brown ntl o'clook Monday
morning.
It was one of these slow sneaking
tires, and had done a great deal of
damage before It was discovered.
The store was closed, and the Arc
evidently originated ill the shelving
of the grocery department in the rear
of the building. Close shutters and
solid doors obscured the light from
view from tho outside until the flames
broke out at the rear windows.
The tire department responded very
promptly to the alarm, and when the
flremcn reached the burning building
they found the interior of it at the
rear .end a solid mass of flames. The
store has a cellar and two floors, and
an elevator was not far from where
the Are originated, and the flames
naturally made toward the elevator
opening nnd climbed to the second
floor.' .
Many who renohed the place soon
after the firemen did thought It would
be impossible to save the building,
but, with cool hcads-aud well dlreoted
work Chief James and his laddies
soon had the fire under control. The
front door wns kept closed so as to
give the flames as little draught as
possible, and the work of the flremcn
wns dlreoted through the rear door.
Better work wns never done by fire
men, a id any one who will visit tho
store to-day will be able to appreciate
this fact. Our new paid fire depart
ment covered itself with.glory, and
snved more than enough property on
this occasion to pay the expense of tile
department for some time to come,
The origin of the lire is a mystery,
but the most plausible supposition
seems to be that rats got into the
matches, as the Are evidently started
in "the shelving where the inatohes
were kept.
Mr. Brown went into the store for
something at about 11 o’clock Sunday
morning, and no ••one else entered it
during the dny or Sunday night. Mr.
Brown doesn’t smoke, and made no use
of lire or matches while in the store,
and is positive that he left everything
secure.
The stock of goods is estimated by
Mr. Brown at $35,000, and oil this he
had insurance for *25,000. Tile goods
are all damaged more or less, and
many of them were either burned
ashes or so badly scorched and smoked
that tney will bo of no value. The
new fall stock had been reoeived, and
the store was packed with goods from
cellar to tho upper ceiling. Many
the goods, and especially the clothing,
were so badly scorched that they can
be picked to pieces.
The store has been closed since the
(Ire, and everything will ho left just as
it is until the insurance adjusters ar-
A Herald reporter was tendered an
nvitalion, a day or two ago, by Mr.
W. W. Rawlins, the papular butcher,
to go through his sausage factory and
see how things were oonduoted.
The invitation wns accepted, and to
say that what the reporter saw was a
revelation would be putting it mildly,
not that the enterprise is of suoli re
cent inauguration, but that the in-
peotion served to dispel nil prejudice
the reporter had for what is usually
called bologna sausage—speaking di
rectly of those manufactured by Mr.
Rawlins.
Everything is rub by steam, nnd It
is a model factory—strictly in point of
machinery used and in the manner In
which tho business is onrrlud on.
A little over a year ago, Mr. Raw-
lies’ sausage business was conflned al
most exclusively to the demands of a
local patronage, nor had lie begun the
manufacture of the bologun snusage.
But gradually, ns the superior quality
of his goods became known, nnd the
demand became so great, lie wns com
pelled to "let out a tuok," ns It were;

But Mr. Brown dots not propose to
let his extensive business stand still
while this loss is being adjusted and
the old store Is being repaired. Be
fore 12 o’clock Monday he had closed
trade by which lie gets possession
the two stores now occupied by
Messrs. Neuman & Tobias, and, by
reference to announcement elsewhere,
•it will be seen that he was ready
for business by Wednesday morning
and that he will sell off tho furniture
and such other goods as are not in his
line at first cost in order to make
room for new goods ordered by tele
graph on Monday.
Having but recently returned from
the Northern markets, where lie se
lected his fall and winter stock in
person, Mr. Brown took liis invoices
this morning and wired to have them
duplicated.
A quin Marrinice.
At the Methodist Parsonage, Sunday
night, at 8 o’clock, Mr. W. A. Sterne
was married to Miss Lula nand, Rev.
W. J. Robertson performing the cere
mony. The bride is the daughter of
Mrs. H. A. Hand, who lives on Pine
street, near the Court House. The
groom came to Albany about a year
ago and has been in the employ of Mr.
L. C. Plonsky. the merchant. Mr,
Sterne is a first cousin of Mr. H. I.

WHERE THEY AUK SOLD.
As lias been snid above, this fnotory
has become a Southwest Georgia en
terprise. And this Is true in the
strictest sense of the word. On the S.,
& W. R’y ns far down as Wnycross,
the “Rawlins Sausage” has become a
household word. On the Central, as
far and beyond Americus this sausage
finds a Inrge nnd ready sale. On the
Columbia Extension, the merchants
and jobbers have long since learned to
look upon the “Rawlins Sausage” as an
indispensable eommodity. And so it
is with tin) Columbus Southern road
and the Cordele road. Then, besides,
there is a splendid demand for these
goods from tile interior merchants,
including tlio following counties
Dougherty, Worth, Mitchell, Colquitt,
Baker, Decatur, Thomas, Berrien, Lee,
Sumter, Terrell, Early and Calhoun,
Mr. Rawlins hns sold, this week, over
2,200 pounds of sausage, and his aver
age weekly sales, for the past six
weeks, have been 1,800 pounds,
now TIIBY AIIK MADK.
It is absolutely impossible for nny
tainted meats to get into the “Rawlins
Sausage.” When everything is ready
for “stuffin',” as I lie boys at i|ie fac
tory say, the beeves and lings are
butchered and brought, din-ally lo
the city. From the lime they
are. slaughtered to the time they
are made into delicious sweet .scented
sausage, nnd ready for shipment,
doesn’t cover a period of more than
three hours. Bui tho best part about
the whole transaction is I lint every
thing is clean. A filthy or indoleqt
employees something that Mr., Raw-
line will not tolerate, and the em
ploye that detects another in any
thing wrong receives a reward for so
doing, and the violator is immediately
dismissed.
Mr. Rawlins buys all the ingredients
for his sausage by the wholesale and
manufactures the seasonings himself.
They are always fresh and are used in
that degree of aoouraoy which long
experience alone can attain. And
this accounts, in a great measure, for
the sweet and delicious flavor of the
sausage.
Mr. Rawlins buys everything that
lie needs at Ids factory at home. His
meats are Southwest Georgia raised.
All this money gains circulation right
here in Albany nnd it swells the
money circulation to a great extent.
Ill this article it would he amiss not
to mention Mr, Rawlins’ able corps of
assistants—men who have been in the
business all I heir lives very nearly
They are Messrs. Charley and Jonah
Scott, Messrs. Quincy and James Raw,
lins, and Jim Ike—Jim’s black, but
he’s a inascott, and it wouldn’t do to
leave the mascott out,
So there’s the “lay out," and
would be a difficult matter to And
better one. They know their business
and they never fail to do it.
Now, right here, this article ought
to stop, but it will do to carry it a lit
tle further. The above is paid for-

Wesley Rawlins! What a wonderfully
successful business career has his

business has accomplished. And lie

The Washington correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution says:
“Undo Ben” Russell, ns the Con
gressman from the Second Georgia
district Is familiarly know, is probably
the most successful of the new mem
bers of Congress in obtaining offices
for Ills constituents. “Unoie Ben”
don't tell when he gets an office, hut he
lias managed to put severnl South
Georgians Into good fat places. The
mnnner nnd nddress of a person goes a
long ways in gelling offices. “Undo
Ben” has one of those lovuble disposi
tions which makes him popular and
causes every one to be anxious to serve
him.
COLONEL LON OUTI1ANK8 ALL.
But speaking of hustlers for office,
Colonel Livingston simply outranks
everybody. He always has a constit

A Congressman usually has more
trouble with his constituents after lie
puts them in office than he does in get

man who gets an offiue in Washington
wants to be promoted In less thnn a
month nfter Ills appointment. They

so cheap ns they lind expected and thnt
is difficult to get nlong on an
ordinary salary. In oonsequenoe cadi
office holder Is eternally dog
ging the footsteps of his Con
gressman, seeking his efforts to ob
tain promotion. But even thnt is not
so bad as the borrowing propensities
tlie average new office holder.
When ho gets his office lie Is dead
broke. He mutt borrow from some
body, and hia Congressman being bis
only friend he must impose upon him.
It is bard on the average Congressman

with an office and then with n month's
