PROPERTY OWNERS WANT THE STREET OPENED WILL BE GLAD TO HAVE FOOT OF BLOUCESTER ARRANGED AS SUGGESTED. : The property owners along Glou cester street west of Newcastle, are delighted at the prospect for the open ing of the street, and the country people who come here in boats arc also happy. The Downing company has a lease on the foot of the street, and the same does not expire for several years yet but it is thought that the committee from council, composed of Mayor Emanuel and Aldermen dtl Bignon, Newman and Kaiser can make an arrangement by which the city can get tne foot of the street again. I.aving aside the fact that the Gloucester street property owners want the street opened, it. will really be a convenience to the country pom pie who come here to buy goods and sell the products of their farms, be cause the city dock, Monk, is entirely too small to accommodate the many boats of the country folk, ami very often they are forced to wait their turn .It is to he sincerely hoped that the committee from council and tne Downing company can come to terms.

Fitzsimmon s conduct, however, was splendid, and from the first round 'until the last- - the eightn —in which a heavy* punch from the champion put him out of business, lie fought with his old time sn p, nut the odds were too much tor him, and in (lie battle between ybutii and age, tne Vernier was Che victor.

Once more is tlie weary old soldier of the south, tiie bravest of the brave, to be wel comed at the home as the guest of the people of his nai.ve state. The soldiers’ home will be opened to receive the old veterans about Au gust 15. It will lie,larger and hand somer than ever, as the people of Georgia have been more able to erect a home in keeping with the needs of the soldiers than they were when Die matchless Grady inaugurated the movement for its erection some years ago. 'j nere are at present forty-eight, in mates of the home. They have been, all told, 104. Since the opening of Die homo there have been twenty-one deaths among the Inmates.

AGRICULTURISTS TO GATHER IN AUGUST THE SOCIETY WILL HOLD AN INTERESTING SESSION IN MACON. 'I no regular annuaal meeting of tne State Agricultural Society ill be held in Macon August 13 and 14. The programme is not yet ready for an nouncement, but enough has boon learned to offer the assurance that it will very interesting and beneficial to those who attend the convention. President Hughes has pianned that all addresses shall be short, and to the point, so that the members of the so ciety and the public will not be b red by too much talking od one subject. The election of officers will occur at this meeting. So far as known there is no opposition to Col. Hughes for president. Indeed, the prospect is that the same officers will he reward e* for tiieir work during the past year by re-election. Coi. Hughes will be president of the state fair, which will lie held at Valdosta, whetaer he is re elected president of the society or not. This is true because he is ex-officio president of the fair, and even if he does not succeed himself as president 01 the society, his term of office will not expire until after the fair is held. It is thought about 200 or 250 mem bers of ne society will be present, in spite of the fact that the society does not get as cheap realroad rates as de sired. The rate granted for the round trip is one and one tuird fare, one way. Macon’s central location insures a good attendance, it is thought. Male Help Wanted.
