That all exhibitors The membership of the Knights ! see ^ ie necessity of sending rof Labor organization has de creased within the last year. . o-4 Ir is now understood that Miss *VY-inx>ie Davis will be in Macon with her father on the 26th inst. AYe do Dot propose to enter any complaint against the Georgia legislature, but we do say that leg islators should be paid a fixed sal ary. ;—►0-4 . .The Telegraph earnestly advo cates the common use of one cent pieces in Macon. The same need exists in every community in Georgia. The Georgia legislature has passed a resolution to adjourn sine Hie on the 20th inst., the day after President Cleveland concludes his visit to Atlanta. The low tariff views of Senator Colquit constitute his strongest political card, and the dictatorial opposition of the Atlanta Consti tution is not well founded. — The fine hand of your “Uncle Joseph” (in the opinion of many) is pulling the wires that govern the Constitution in its opposition to Senator Colquitt. T. AY. Ellis, of the Saturday Evening Hornet, has been fined 8100 in the Birmingham, Ala., po lice, for publishing and selling ob scene literature. A convention of Evangelical Christians of the United States will be held at AYashington City in December next, beginning on the 7th and to continue three days. ! • r The Piedmont Exposition and the Georgia State Fair will certain ly prove to be excellent factors in the advancement of progressive agriculture in our grand old State. The October term of the Su preme Court of Georgia will be gin next Monday. There are 360 cases on the docket, and the offi cials of the court anticipate a busy term. Judge Emory Speer, of the United States District Court for Southern District of Georgia, is now a resident of Macon. L. M. Lamar, marshal of that district, will also live in Macon. It is stated that the escort of Mrs. Cleveland in Atlanta will consist of one hundred red-headed girls mounted on wh.te horses. President and Mrs. Cleveland will be in Atlanta od the ISth and 19th inst. Every railroad entering Macon will sell tickets at 1 cent a mile each way—2 cents a mile for the round trip—with 50 cents added for a ticket of admission to the fair grounds. . This admission ticket will be in the shape of a coupon attached to the railroad ticket. in their exhibits in time for them to be properly arranged, President Northen has issued the following letter: “Never before, in. the history of the State Fair, has there been such a demand for space. Unless we crowd exhibits more closely than we anticipated at the beginning, we will be compelled to £e?ect at least one new building to accom modate exhibitors. The demands for transportation will be unusual, and the railroads will be taxed to their utmost capacity, as the fair occurs at the season when ordina ry freights are heavy. It is due visitors that all articles for exhibi tion should be in place . and fully arranged when the gates are open ed at 8 o’clock on Monday morn ing, October 24th. The management of the fair beg to urge all parties who have se cured space to begin, at once, all preparations necessary to get their articles upon the grounds and properly arranged,^so'as’l/to avoid confusion and trouble.^The halls will be ready by October 5th. Space can be occupied on that day. If exhibitors delay until the few days immediately^ preceding the opening, it will be utterly impossi ble to furnish transportation. The railroads, we are fully assured, will do everything possible to ac commodate our exhibitors, but they cannot accomplish impossi bilities, and it should not be de manded or expected. All trouble and confusion will be avoided and dissatisfaction ren dered impossible if exhibitors will begin, at once, to get their arti cles in readiness for transporta tion, and be sure to get them ■ into the park in ample time to get their displays artistically arranged and tastefully ornamented. If this appeal is neglected and heavy machinery is left to take its chances for transportation, and large county displays are thrown down in a mass of confusion, with out ornamentation, exhibitors will do themselves great injustice and there will be opportunities for complaint and general dissatisfac tion. The Secretary will give all the aid possible to exhibitors who will be here in time. He cannot look, after those who neglect their own interests by unnecessary de lay. Papers friendly to the success of the State Fair will please in sert. AY. J. NORTHEN, Pres. Ga: State Ag’l Society. A dreamer dreamed that affairs TAX CGLLECTOR’SJECOND ROUND, York, Monday, a m, Oct. 17. aus The Indian medicine men in At- a were universally equalized Ev- lenta have fallen out with each; Faulk’s, Tuesdav, a m, erybody was rich aid things were! other <.nd the grand j«y has J1 rosy. He walked out early andidieted Yellowstone Kit and his HickoryGrove,pm, congratulated people. This he [ sang for defaming another doctor's Thursday, a m, continued to do until the breakfast medicine. j Taylor’s, Friday, hour. Breakfast was late that morning, and there was Deyer a meal like it since the dawn of civ ilization. Many of the cooks scarcely knew how to boil water. There were no servants in the world After breakfast there were no more congratulations. People began to suspect that the situation was calamitous. It could not be expected that rich people would do any sort of menial service, ex cept for themselves, and this of necessity. Every man was tired of his particular line of business, and this was especially true of butchers, bakers, barbers, beer- jerkers, boot-blacks, and ostlers. It was obvious then that every man was his own servant, and who ever wanted butter must churn. Nobody would cook, or spin, or weave for wages, nor carry hods, nor drive scavenger carts, nor po lice the cities. Persons then who could pot construct spinning wheels and hand looms, and use them, would wear very plain clothes af ter awhile. Also there would be after a few years, some very quaint dwelling places in the land. All the towns and cities would ulti mately decay, for every family would need a plot of ground on which to grow beans and collards. There would be no popular re sorts^ no steamship lines, nor rail roads, nor post offices, nor news papers. Rich men would never fire np engines, nor man the brakes, nor adjust the switches, nor handle the mails, nor set type. Universal wealth would be in all practical respects the same as uni versal poverty. Perhaps it would not continue as long, and yet ev ery man would be steadily em ployed at home, and could hardly spare the time to squander his riches. Cecesus. Dhief R. AY. Joyner, of the At- p^y a 8 j iey Taes d ay , lanta fire department, has been Powersville, honored by a unanimous election; BusbvVi Wed. For the month of September just past the cotton receipts at Macon were nearly three times greater than the receipts during the month of September last year —27,000 against 10,000. The in crease in Savannah was propor tionally great. This does not s 3em to indicate that the cotton crop in Georgia is short. A subscription in favor of the condemned Chicago Anarchists has been started in England. The Germans of Chicago have contri buted 830,000 to the defense fund, and othf-r large cities are expected to subscribe S10,000 more. It se n ms that Ibe lawyers for the de fense of these anarchists will reap a rich harvest, and it is shown that anarchy has many sympathiz ers in this country. The public debt of the United States government was decreased §14,247,969.80 during the month of September last. Cash in the treasury, 8478,899,512.40; gold cer tificates outstanding, 897,984,683; silver certificates outstanding, 8154,354,826; certificates of depos it outstanding, 86,535,000; legal tenders outstanding, 8346,681,016; fractional currency, not including the amount estimated to be lost or destroyed, 86,943,951,12. The Atlanta Constitution is op posed to the re-election of Hon. A. H. Colquitt to the United States Senate, on account of his tariff views. The same paper says that Hon. Henry R. Jackson will be a formidable candidate for the po sition, and intimates that Hon. A. O. Bacon, of Macon, will be in the senatorial race. AYe have not heard that the people of Georgia are tired of Senator Colquitt’s services, and it is not likely that th ey will refuse to re-employ him at the behest of the Constitution. Gergians are not ready to bow their necks to newspaper boss- The Augusta Gazette has hoist ed the presidential ticket for the next campaign: Eof President, Grover Cleveland, of New York; for Yice President, John B. Gor don, of Georgia. AYe make no ob jection to the personnel of the ticket, but think the Gazette is rather previous. The national democratic convention will name a a correct ticket next summer. The General Assembly of the Kuights of Labor convened at Mineapolis, Minnesota, last Mon day morning. In his address Grand Master AA T orkman Powder- ly declared that the organization is not a partisan one, though it is political. He declared his hatred for anarchy. .The assembly^ is largely attended, and the rumor of impending trouble in the organiza tion is emphatically denied. —The first issue the Port Yal- ley Enterprise was published last Thursday. Messrs. AY. M. Kersh and W. F. AYynn are proprietors of this paper, and we dare say their enterprise, energy and good sense will make it a success. The En terprise is an eight page, six col umn paper, and the typographical make-up is good. Their first is sue was published under difficul ties. Their press failed to arrive in time, and being unable to get press work done at home, they were obliged to carry their forms and paper to Montezuma, where the printing was done on the Re cord press. AVe extend to the Enterprise the right hand of jour nalistic fellowship. In defeating the Harrison bill, the Georgia legislature has de monstrated that the sale of the State road will not he provided for this year. This bill is the sec ond of that character that has been considered. Mr. Huff has intro duced a resolution providing for Professor Ryals was the preservation of the road in its present condition, as nearly as possible, until the existing lease expires. to the position of President of the National Association of Eire En gineers. No better selection could have been made. At Clarksville, T. C. Justice, the slayer of J. B. Goddard, has been found guilty of murder, and will be hanged some time in Novem ber. Columbus has established a pound for stray stock and cattle. The jury in the Burnett-Han- cock case, tried in the Crawford Superior Court at Knoxville, brought in a verdict at 12 o’clock on Thursday night, and found Jerome Burnett guilty of volunta ry manslaughter. Cuthbert Liberal years ago on Sept. 10, Colonel S. D. Betton, of Cuthbert, sailed out from the mouth of the Potamac river on board the United States frigate Brandywine, for Havre, France, to carry Gen. Lafayette home from his last visit to the United States. Col. Betton was at that time a midshipman in the United States navy. He is now in his 82d year, but is as vigorous as most men of 60. He will go up to Macon and join with the “boys” in paying their respects to Jeffer son Davis, if he is there, on Octo ber 26th. n Sixty-four years ago he was a classmate of Mr. Davis in the AYest Point Military Acad emy. At an election on the Question of “fence” or “no fence,” in the Tazewell district of Marion county, on Monday of last week, tne “fence” men carried the day. The sales of real estate in and around the town of Arcadia, for the past two weeks,have amounted to upwards of 835,000. The Columbus Dramatic Asso ciation will give an entertainment in Griffin at an early date. Mr. AY. M.

It was rumored in Macon one day last week that Mr. J. F.

The rumor is denied on good authority. Quitman’s new opera house will not be completed in time for the winter season of amusements. The citizens of Atlanta have been wise in adopting Monday, Oct. 10, the first day of the Exposition, as “Atlanta day.” They can then devote the remainder of the 12 days to entertaining and trading with their visitors. President Cleveland has pardon ed one James AY. Brooks, of Meri wether county, Ga., convicted of violating the revenue laws and sentenced to imprisonment and fine.
