«*Election Tuesday, Nov. Gth.
All eyes are now turned to this
great Exhibition of Georgia’s wealth,
industry and power. It opens Mon
day, Nov. 5th, and continues one
week.
The display will far exceed, in the
diversity, ns well as the extent, of ar
ticles in every department (from a
needle to an engine,) any of Its
predecessors. Baldwin county will
be there. Probably one-lmlf of its
entire population will go to tlio State
Fair, one day, or another. Nothing
we could say would add to the pop
ular desire to see the greatest Fair
Georgia ever, has had.
Friday, November 9. Now look at
this. Was there ever suoh a lot of at
tractions crowded into one day. This
will be Atlanta, Rome and Savan
nail’s day, the re-union of the Twen
tieth Georgia Regiment and Toombs
and Benning’s brigades, and the
GRAND KRKK BARBKCCK.
The world and his brother will be
ready for all comers, and an old
fashioned Georgia welcome with an
old-fashioned Georgia barbecue *1n
au old-fashioned Georgia grove will
take the old people back to the "day
long ago” and open the eyes of the
youngsters.

Gorton’s Minstrels.
What promises to he one of the
neatest, most refined, most complete
and best equipped minstrel show
ever seen in Milledgeville is Gorton’
New Orleans Minstrels which appear
at the Opera House this evening.
The Company will arrive on the
4:11 P. M. train and make a parade
soon after theirarrival. Those wishing
to hear fine music should avail them
selves of the opportunity, and enjoy
concert selections at the Bell Tower
before the parade is ended. Of their
performance the Winston, N. C.,Twin
City Daily, Sept. 19, ’88, says:
A lurgo audience greeted the ap
pearance of Gorton’s Minstrels at
Brown's Opera House last night, and
about one hundred colored people
were turned away owing to the
crowded state of the galleries.
Quite a niimbet of ladies were pres
ent representing our best families,
and it affords the reporter pleasure to
he able to state that not a word was
said nor an act performed to bring
blushes to their cheeks.
It was a refined, first class perform
anca, and every one went away per

tertaiuinent. The Daily commends
Gorton’s Minstrels to the theatre go

Otis Prosssr Shot And Killed by
Mack Cook.
Correspondent Atlanta Constitution.
Millkdokvillk, Ga., October 18.
—Very meagre reports reached this
city last night of a tragedy near the
county line, in which Mack Cook was
seriously cut by Otis Prosser, while
Prosser wns shot and instantly killed
by Cook. It was impossible to got
all of tIto details of the killing but in
formation brought by the people from
that neighborhood is about as fol
lows:
Bad feeling had eiisted between the
two men for some time, and yesterday
as Cook was going to the mill in his
wagon, lie met Prosser who asked
him if he wanted to fight. Cook rej
plied he wasn't hunting fights, hut if
any one Insisted ou it, he would try
and accommodate them, whereupon
Prosser started toward him with his
knife.
Cook rose up iu ills wagon, and just
as he put his foot ou the wheel to
jump out, Prosser struck at him with
his knife, cutting a gash iu the side
of his neck. Cook then drew his pis
tol and fired two shot?, botli taking
effect and killing Prosser instantly.
Both men were married and have
families. They both bear the repu
tation of being hard working and
peaceful men, and the affair is deeply
regretted in that locality. As the kill
ing occurred in Washington county,
the coroner of that county holds the
Inquest, aud it is impossible to ascer
tain the result of his investigation to
night.
The above statement is correct^ so
far us we have been able to learn.
An Experience.
Well Enough, But Better’s Coming.
While watching the splendid work
of Mr. Emanuel Thompson and his
forty hands, oil Wednesday after
noon, laying tracks all over the de
pot grounds, and looking at the busy
life about the cotton mill of Mr.
Brooks, and the rattle and chatter
about tlie drays and draymen, we
casually remarked to Agent Lumpkin
that all this looks new to me. "Yes,
said tile Agent, “it is well enough but
better’s coining.” What do you
mean by that remark? "Well sir,” he
said, "there's going to be a Hue com
press built by the Central at it’s depot,
which will lie the biggest thing for
tlie town there is in it. Anil that
aint all. Wo aro going to have
au Ice Factory and a Cotton Oil Mill
with a Fertilizer Attachment, before
long, right here, and things are going
to hum as they never hummed here be
fore.”
You are enthusiastic over our city’s
future, we remarked. “I am” the
Agent said, “but it is the enthusiasm
of solid facts and not imagination.”
That satisfied us, anil we left the Agt.
just as he tossed a bale of cotton into
a box car.

The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen:—In 1884 a friend of
mine contracted a terrible case of
blood poison, and at once sought the
advice of the best physicians. Alter
a four months' trial, with ft feeling of
greatest despondency, lie left Chatta
nooga for Hot Springs, where lie re
mained three months. Tlie treatment
there did not seeui to do him any
good, uml witli a crushed spirit and
with death in its worst form staring
him in the face, be came home. He
saw an advertisement of your medi
cine. As his friend I supplied him
with the|first few bottles. I was as
tonished at the result. After the
third bottle tlie sores all disappeared,
and his reoovery was rapid. In three
months ho was hard at work, aud
there has been no return of the dis
ease. I withhold his name from .the
public, but will send it in confidence
to any who writes for it. I give this
certificate cheerfully.

believe their value cannot be estima

unlimited, and for prompt and sure
relief to almost every aclie and pain
that flesh is heir to, no other remedy,
iu my opinion, either external or in
