A weekly newspaper will soon Tbe published at Cordele, Dooly bounty, .Junction of the G. S. & F. and A. P. & L. railroads. The campaign during the sever al days just previous to tlie elec tion was the most exciting ever experienced in New York city. The present presidential cam paign has been a fight of principle On the part of the democrats SgainSt irioney on the part of the /republicans. .. . . ' T" -.■-- ■' Fob visitors to the state fair, the i Hotel Lanier is decidedly the most fconveniently located of any hotel in Macon. It is also preferable in hll other respects. Mr. H. W. Grady’s recent Speech at Dallas, Texas, is regard ed as superior to his fainous speech before the Society of Hew England in New York two years hga IN th'e county contest at the State fair, Hancock county has the advantage of having just pre viously held a successful county fair. However, Houston is in the ring.* Thebe is a strong feeling throughout Alabama* Georgia and the Carolinas in favot of pine Straw bagging, and every effort will be made to adopt it as the standard covering for Cotton bales next year. Thebe is at Philadelphia strong opposition to the consummation of the failroad “deal” that places the E. T., V. &'Ga. and the Georgia Central in the hands of the West Point Terminal system. President Cleveland has is sued his annual thanksgiving proc lamation, and Thursday, Novem ber 29th, is n^med as the day to be devoted to thanksgiving and prayer throughout the United States. It is currently rumored that Senator Joseph E. Brown will re sign his seat in the United States Senate this winter, and that the present Georgia Legislature will elect his successor for the unex pired term. Stock-raising in Georgia is de cidedly on the increase, and recent colt shows in various sections of the state have proven conclusively that as good horses can be raised In Georgia as the f amofls blue grass regions of Kentucky cab produce. —The' two prominent absurdi ties vised to influence ignorant ne gro votef-g in Houston were: “The negroes will be put back into sla very if Cleveland is re-elected.-* “The negroes will be forced to' feork for 10 cents a ctay if Cleve land is re-elected.” The sMef fair edition" of the Macon Telegraph, last Sunday. •Worthily displayed the advantages of the eity, and the- magnitude of its business. As an evidence of Newspaper enterprise* it reflects credit upon the management and Working force of the paper, and as an interesting c'olle'etion of news and other reading matter', it is Worth careful reading now;- and preservation' for'future perusal. Fire consumed about 8150,00D Worth of property in' Marion last Monday night.' Four stores with- full stocks- of goods, on Third street, were destroyed. These stores were odcti'pied : by Nussbaum, VanSyckle & Tindall, Ti G. Burke, ~>. Adams & Co;,- and Mr. several others, barely' escaped de- atfUritiofi', The loss was covered hy ibserance to the extent of at 88fi;000; it khay be that New Jersey re the only timmix ffrimefSratic State that gave a majority fdf ‘the dem ocratic electors. It is farther feared that the re publican gains in ‘CdhgrCssiofnal districts heretofore democrafie, will change the political character of the national Sousa, of Repre- sentativee. The tariff is the Tsflin§ tliat is -said to have done the business. Be that as It may, the government is for all the people, &n<L if wb don’t like its political complexion, we can grin and endare it, as ive have other ills th&t KaVe been our portion. We will try 'again next time. New York city elected a full democratic delegation to congress. There is a possibility of a change when the official count is consoli dated and declared, but it icfdks darldy republican noW. New York and Connecticut are claimed by both parties. The prohibition vote in New York-, so far ah heard from, was much smaller than it was fours -yeans age* ■inciple Was tbe groundwork the democratic campaign, and against this the republicans hurled their desperate desire for office-, backed by ah almost unlimited corruption fund, furnished by the monopolist millitiriaifes df the north and Sash At every point thh campaign Was desperately contested, and in New York, Indiana, Ne <7 Jersey; Connecticut, Michigan and other close states, the contest was in tensely exciting. Tbe chief issuh Being tariff re form, and tariff protection spe cially for manufacturers who do not need protection, the resiilt will doubtless settle the question final ly, or for a decade at least, in ra- Vtir of the policy advocated b.y tliri victorious party, Tlie Election in Georgia. While the returns have not all been reported, the indications are positive that Ghof-gia hits again elected ten democratic congress* men. It is also Certain that the democratic pfesidential electors are elected by & haitdsohie major* ■» -jaii In many districts the republi cans, especially the negroes; poll* ed their full strength, and the re sult shows that Georgia is growing' in its allegiance to the democratic patty, In some sections the prohibition party made a fair showing, though as a whole, its strength is practi cally insignificant when, as in this election, prohibition is opposed to democracy. —The iorenian of this office, Mr; D. Ds Bateman, is one of the fast est workmen in the state. On last Monday moriiing he worked - oft 27| quires of paper on a Washing ton hand press, (doing his oWn rolling part of the tiriie), and then feet up 3,500 erire 6'f type and dis tributed to the case a like aifiount of type by twelve o’CloSk; .

Her friends were numerous, and they will sadly miss her. 1 had 1 'the honor of , being her pastor for Two consecutive years, and it was my pleasure and blessing to know her well and love her much. Indeed, those who knew her best loved her most. As n wife, she was thoughtful, considerate, ^affectionate. Her husband’s interest and happiness were her care and study. And, though they belonged to different branches : of the great Church of God in the earth, they were united in Christ Jesus. They had lived happily together for years; and no one but the dear sorrowing hus band and ' the great Father in Heaven knows fully the lost sus tained by Brother Kendrick in the death of that precious wife. She was a model mother. In her domestic affairs she planned wisely and executed well. She Stitdied constantly and carefully her cljiWren’s welfare. In the matter of discipline she was firih, but not austere; kind and gentle, but not weak nor silly. From Her precepts and example her family received sweet and safe counsel on domestic, social, literary and reli gious questions'; and while they hiourii her Heath they revere her memory. As a neighbor and friend she Was kihd and obliging, faithful and true. The needy and the af flicted found a place in her heart, and a share in her sympathy. She visited the Sick, ministered to the suffering, solaced the borrowing, and wept with those that wept. These traits in- li’er character were appreciated, and were blit reward ed in part when; ih her last hours, loving friends ministered to her, and watched her, as her “precious soul floated out into the vast sea of eternity upon a river of tears.” As a Christian, Sister Kendrick Was conscientious and cheerful; happy and eminently iiseful: She had the courage of her convictions. She did what She knew to be right. She studied gratitude, and learned to be thankful, contented and happy. The joy of the Lord is ottr str6ngtli; She rejoiced in God, her Saviour, and was strong. She had the gift—dr grace—ih a raie degree, of dispensing cheer fulness or gladness wherever she Went; And her influence for good was potent. For many y&rd she was a mem ber of the Methodist. Church; and for the last three Or fqdr years df her life she was an efficient stew ard in her church. She Was also an earnest, zealous and fruitful worker in the Sabbath school. But she has gone from us. Ih her death her church, her commu nity, her friends,—all of us—sus tain a heavy loss.
