PNIOtf & RECORDER. 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 posing candidates. There was no op position to the candidates for Govern or, Comptroller General, Secretary of State. Treasurer and Attorney Gener al. The following are therefore elect ed: Governor,’John B. Gordon; Secre tary of State, N. C. Barnett; Treasur er.' Robert U. Hardeman; Attorney General, Clifford Anderson; Comp troller General, Wm. A. Wright. Troubles in Ireland. 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.

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 was a bright day in New’Orleans, La., on Tuesday, Sept. 14, 1880, the 190th Grand Monthly (the Quarterly Extraordinary) Drawing of the world- renowned Louisiana State Lottery, when some $522,000 was scattered to all quarters of the globe by the wdieel of fortune under the sole care of Gen’ls G.

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.

Milledgeville, Ga., Oct. 4th, 1886. 13 3m Washington county it will be seen gives Hon. C. R. Pringie a handsome majority, which is a flattering evidence of the high appreciation in which he is held by the true democracy of this good county. Col. Pringle having served two terms, four years, in the legislature and achieved a state repu tation as an able and patriotic legisla tor, we take pleasure in now hoisting his name for the Presidency of the Senate. Georgia Senators we trust will honor themselves by thus honor ing Col. Pringle, and electing him President of this body.—Sandersville Herald. It takes two to make a quarrel, but one can make peace. 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 ed him. | _ t -- A The Mexican War Has Become Obsolete! The Earthquake with all its’terrors, has become Q ^ past, and yellnigh forgotten.
