MlLLEDflKVILLE, OCTOBER 12, 1886.
For Congress—6th District,
JAMES H. BLOUNT, of Bibb.
editorial glimpses.
Charlie Rose lias escaped from Dade
Coal Mines.
The general report is that the state
of trade is constantly growing bet
ter.
The late long dry spell in places
where it existed has been very injuri
ous to the late top cotton.
Everv indication points to a success
ful business season, but the boom will
not get under headway until after
frost.
Mercer University starts the fall
term with 130 students, the largest
number says the Macon Telegraph,
ever known in its history.
Cutting’s attorneys have prepared
papers to be presented to Mexico
through the Washington government.
The claim is for $50,000 damages.
The Condemned Anarchists.—
The discussion is going on before the
court in reference to granting a new
trial to the condemned prisoners.
The estimate of the cotton crop in
this state for the month of October,
in comparison with an average crop,
falls two points below the estimate of
last month.
Wesleyan Female College at Macon,
commences its fall term -with bright
prospects. It has at present enrolled
about 225 pupils. The number is a
little smaller than last year but is
deemed very satisfactory by the offi
cers of the College.
The Southerner & Appeal, publish
ed at Irwinton, Ga., has been sold to
Mr. J. F. Lingo. The editorial de
partment will be under the manage
♦ment of Mr. W. B. Stubbs. The pa
per is in good hands and will continue
to be a first class weekly.
The Georgia State Fair should be
liberally patronized in attendance and
exhibits, by farmers in every section
of the State. If this is done it will
be a grand exemplification of the agri
cultural interests of the State. Oth
er industries should be liberally rep
resented, as they will be, making the
fair a complete success.
Opposition to the high tariff is in
creasing in many parts of the West.
Even Republicans are coming out
against it. Patience is getting ex
hausted, and many, who suffer from
its unjust existence, are flocking to
the Democratic ranks. The high tar
iff, if there is any truth in public
statements, is doomed to an over
throw. It is wonderful that it has
not been repudiated long ago. It is
bound to go down under public cen
sure.
The United States.—No country
on the globe can compare with the
United States. Great Britain and
Ireland have 35,000,000 of inhabitants;
France 37.000,000, Germanv 45,000,000,
Italy 28.000,000, Spain 17.0u0.000, Rus
sia 75,000,000, the United States 61.000,-
000. The United States have an area
about as great as the whole of Europe.
The population of Russia is about 10,-
000,000 greater than that of the United
States, but in a few years, will fall be
hind that of our great free republican
land. We have not only as great a
variety of climata, but a larger varie
ty of productions.
THE ELECTION.
■Wednesday was thft day fixed for
holding an election throughout the
State for Governor, State House offi
cials and members of the General As
sembly. A light vote was polled, ex
cept in counties where there were op

COKING 1 COXING!
The Mighty Monarch of All Lar^e Aggre
gations—John B. Doris’ Great Inter-
Ocean Circus, Museum, Peerless
Menagerie and Elevated The
atre Stage.
At Milledgeville, Thursday, Oct. 21.
This mammoth show comes here with
strong endorsements from the entire
press wherever it has exhibited. Its
attractions are exceedingly numerous,
and every promise made by Mr. Doris
will be carried out to the letter. No
show in the country can surpass the
great Inter-Ocean in the extent and
variety of its featnres, and always di
recting carefully to increase the facil-
ties for the comfort and convenience
of its patrons, has, at last, brought
its circus to its present vast dimen
sions, and is now regarded as second
to none on the continent. There are
just fifty acts to be seen in the ring
and on the elevated theatre stage.
These acts embrace, besides the grand
circus performances of wonderful rid
ing, tumbling, vaulting, leaping, high
ladder maneuvers, presenting thrill
ing and startling achievements, clas
sic posturing, troupe of French bicy
cle riders, twelve genuine brawny
Turks, the Siberian roller skaters,
seven champion clowns, led by John
nie Paterson, the Rctmbler from Clare,
especially engaged for this season;
James Robinson, the only man who
rides, who alone possesses the only
diamond-studded champion of the
world belt, and medals of France,
Spain and Russia, and is now more
celebrated than any other equestrian,
living or dead, and his merit and
claim to first place as a horseman re
mains unchallenged to-day; the Fish
er Brothers, the flying meteors of the
air; Misses Sallie Marks and Ella
Stokes, the well-known equestriennes,
ore among the stars—these famous
artists are so well and favorably
know r n that praise is simply superflu
ous, as they have no compeers; Kato
morpa, queen of the reptile world;
three Seigrists, acrobats; Mile. Lizette
and Le Fevre, flying women of the
air; La Roa and Ruge, contortionists;
Rice Brothers, horizontal bars; Clar
ence Robinson, champion hurdle
rider; J. F. Batcheller, champion
leaper of the world; Riffia Bey, Turk
ish knife thrower; the trained ele
phants and educated staliions, and
dozens of other features go to make
up a show that eclipses in extent and
merit anything the people of this or
any other section have ever observed.
In addition to the foregoing, there is
to be seen in the great Inter-Ocean
Megatherian Menagerie almost un
ceasing numbers of beasts, birds, rep
tiles and marine monsters. Open dens
of wild animals will be exhibited free
of charge on the public streets. The
grand street parade takes place daily
at 10 a. m. Don’t miss it. Six differ
ent kinds of bands will discourse the
popular music of the day. One mile
of sumptuous, sun-bright golden char
iots. A gay suite of ladies and gen
tlemen. Hundreds of handsome
horses, ponies, etc. Tableaux and
Mardi Gras carnivals represented in
this marvelous pageantry festival.
Cheap excursion rates on all railroads.
Doors open at 1 and 7 p. in.

Undoubtedly Coming!
FULL-FLEDGED to the SUNNY SOUTH.
THE BIGGEST, GREATEST AND IN ALL THINGS THE BEST SHOW
THAT EVER EXHIBITED IN THIS STATE.
The only Big Railroad Circus and Monster Menagerie Coming this year will
v Positively Exhibit at
Milledgeville, 01
Thursday, GDI. <51,
JOHN B. DORIS’.
Great Inter-Ocean Circus, Menagerie,
Museum, Great Racing Carnival and World’s Exposition of Novelties.
THE ONE and ONLY SHOW
WHICH EXHIBITS IN THE SOUTHERN CITIES.
The same performers, precisely the same Huge Tents, precisely the same
Mammoth Railroad and Lot Equipments.
Added to immensely
and shorn of nothing,
it will exhibit precise
ly as it did this sum
mer in the
GREAT
NEW ENGLAND
STATES,
Boston, New' York,
Philadelphia, and
oth e r Metropolitan
cities. «
The one and only
show recognized as
a lasting institution
which pays yearly
visits to the
GLOWING CLIME
OF
KING COTTON.
The only show for
which Southern
Railroads make ex
cursions for their
patrons from all
points.
We cannot spare the space to detail
the movements in England to sustain
or defeat, the Irish National league.
The movements of that body of Irish
patriots cannot be checked in resist
ing their enemies in England or mal
contents in Ireland. The recent elec
tion, on Mr. Gladstone’s plan of re
form, was carried against them it is
true, but if there had been a full and
fair expression of the wishes of the
peopR, Mr. Gladstone’s policy w r ould
have been carried by the election, or
the strength of the friends and ene
mies of the measure would have been
so close as to leave no doubt in the
public mind of eventual success. Par
nell and his friends not only hold the
balance of pow'er but feel cheered
with the hope of an early triumph.
If tbe Irish in Ireland, with the divi
sion^ sentiment existing among them,
had no hope or pow'er but that which
they possess in Ireland, the day might
be far distant before they could over
come the power and corruption of
their enemies: but when we consider
the millions of Irishmen who have
been driven from their native land
are backing them with their purses
and overflowing love, the case is far
different. These men abroad are as
loyal as those who are struggling on
their native soil. The severities of
the English Government encourage
the Irish in their efforts to abolish lo
cal and subordinate oppression, and
were tbe Irish to fail to resist they
could make no pretentions to the
character of freemen and would not
merit the efforts that are made in
their behalf. Patriotism wall discour
age faction, promote fraternal, zeal
among citizens or subjects, and make
the public weal the object of constant
effort and desire. It is this that
makes the cause of the Irish the cause
of their kindred abroad, and secures
for them the constant good w'ill of the
people in every land. I
What was the Splendor of a Septem
ber Day.

It seems that the United States are
to have, or rather have, a volcano, if
there is no mistake in the following
statement.
San Francisco, Oct. 1.— A letter pub
lished in the Bulletin to-day, writing
under date of Kodiak, Alaska, Sep
tember 16th, says: A volcanic peak
off Pavloff Mountain, 300 miles south
west of Kodiak, on the Alaska penin
sula, ig in a state of eruption. Cap
tain Curry of the Schooner Kodiah,
reports that on August 12th, when
one hundred miles from the volcano,
i S v ? sse ^ was enveloped in a black
+1° + b ^ ie darkness was . so great
that the lamps were kept burning
from ten a. m. to two p. m. At the
same time a black dust fell on the
decK to the depth of several inches.

majority, which is a flattering evidence
of the high appreciation in which
he is held by the true democracy of

Hanged for a few Minutes, but
Spared in the end.—St. Louis, Oct.
1.—A special from Steeleville, Mo.,
says: At eleven o’clock last night a
body of masked men went to the
jail, where Wallace, the alleged
murderer of the Logan family, was
confined, broke down the doors in
spite of the resistance of the sheriff,
took the man out and hanged him to
a tree. After a few minutes they let
him down, thinking he would confess,
but he continued to protest his inno
cence, and leading citizens finally per
suaded the lynchers to surrender the
victim to the sheriff and let the law
take its course. The following night
another mob took him out and hang
