Aug. 4tli, 1886. 4 tde 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 T ’HANKING my friends for kind fa vors in the past, I respectfully an nounce myself as a candidate for re- election to the office of Tax Receiver.
