For Tax Receiver
There may have’been longer seasons
of drought, but the oldest inhabitant
cannot remember to have seen our
city so completely enveloped in dust.
Our advertising columns show some
valuable property for sale in and a-
round the city. Now is the opportu
nity for those who wish to purchase;
for property will never be cheaper
in this city.
Col. John Mattox of Cuthbert, Ga.,
writes us:
*T have been taking the Union-
Recorder 48 years and am pleased
with it, so you will please “continue”
sending the paper.”
Some one of our amateur farmers
would do well to buy the Nisbet place
on the North Common of this city,
which will be sold to the highest bid
der, before the Court Hocse door, on
the first Tuesday in November next,
by L. Carrington. Executor. He or
Mr. A. D. Nisbet, Agt. C. R. R., will
show the premises to any one desiring
to look at them.
Earthquake Siiocks.—On Friday morn-
ine last at about twenty minutes past four,
Railroad time, there was a slight shock of
an earthquake here, sufficient in severity
to awake some persons from their sleep,
while others slept on, unconscious of Its
occurrence. Also at about ten minutes be
fore two o’clock in the afternoon of the
same day, there was another shock of per
haps slightly less violence than the llrst,
but enough to attract pretty general atten
tion We learn that some of the girl pu
pils at the college were a good deal frignt-
ened and ran out of doors, showing by
their loud cries that they were badly scar
ed.
At the circus the other night, there
was a woman who, sitting at a dis
tance from the spectators, professed
to be able to tell what any person
held concealed in his hand. One of
our citizens, who is fond of a good ci
gar and generally is careful to select
such for his use; held one in his hand
and asked the woman what it was.
She promptly replied “a cigar.” He
then asked what it cost. She replied
very distinctly, “Three for a nickel,”
and then there was a mighty roar of
laughter and the lover of good cigars
brought his questions to an abrupt
close.
THE CIRCUS.
On Wednesday last, the largest
crowd appeared* on our streets, the
attraction being Doris’ circus, that we
ever remember to have seen here on
a similar occasion. One of its promi
nent features was the great preponde
rance of the colored people. At one
time, taking a view of the large con
course which almost filled the busi
ness portion of our streets we came to
the conclusion that four-fifths were
( blacks. We heard of no special dis
order; and in fact we think, consider-
1i ing the great number, it was & re-
markably quiet and orderly gather-
ing.
The circus was delayed by an acci-
j dent to the train that brought it here,
somewhere below Catuak on the Geor-
{ gia Railroad. It did not arrive here
\ till about 12 o'clock, a. m., and conse
quently the grand street parade was
reduced to a rather small procession
on Wayne Street. It was reported
chat one of the elephants and several
horses were pretty badly injured by
the accident to the railroad train.
There was only one exhibition, and
that at night, when there was a rath
er small attendance of people, the
greater portion of the crowd having
gone home.
DIED.
At her residence in this city, on
Wednesday, 20th instant, Mrs. Ann
yootten, at the advanced age of 85
ears. She has been a resident of this
ity for nearly half a century and for
iany years before her death was a
ons’istent member of the Methodist
hurch. She left no children of her
wn, but she adopted Mr. John J.
i/ootten, of this city, as her son when
e was a child of tender years, and
estowed upon him the lo\ ing care
nd affection of a mother. For some
ears back, her age has caused her to
ad a life of quiet retirement, but she
ent to her last resting place with the
;spect and esteem of those who knew
er best. , ,
Her funeral services were conduct-
I at her late residence on Thursday
.st by her pastor, Rev. Mr. King,
ad her former pastor, Rev. Mr. Pattil-
>, who was spending some days in
le city, was present and made some
iinarks commendatory of her good
ualities; after which her remains
ere conveyed to our city cemetery
nd consigned to their final place of
