THURSDAY, SEPT. 30 1886.
Several bales of new cotton have
Keen sold in Harmony Grove. The
crop promises to he an average one.
‘The merchants are expecting an un»
usually large trade this faill and win¬
ter. Some have already added to
1/feeir number of salesmen, so that
they maybe bettor able to accom¬
modate then- customers.
A newspaper man in jl/innoapolis
one day caught a young woman tew as

to marry him, and she said “Yes.”
A few hours after they were married,

■she was worth 175,000.
There is no sense in carrying dif¬
ferences of opinion on the local op¬
tion question into the cas vass of the
Legislature and for the county offi¬
ces. In some counties these differ*
-cnees have resulted in 1 he running
of independent candidates. In ev

The Augusta News notes that the

and merchanirs of Charleston are do

While a great quantity of work is
being done, there are yet hundreds

untouched until more merchamcs ar¬

reasonable basis. It is said a gentle¬

Uouuil Around Each Other.
From the Early County, G*. News.
Anyonegoing up the railroad from
Blakely to Albany can see a rare cu¬
riosity, just beyond Leary, on the
Tight hand side of the road. It is a
pine tree, or rather two pine trees
growing together. One of the trees
has been burnt off from its roots and
lias fallen against the other tree,
which has grown around it some
-eight or ten feet from the ground,
and both are now furnished subsist,
•onae from the same source, although
formerly separate and distinct trees.
It, is a strange sight to one who knows
the peculiarit ies of pines.

Heiitii of Col. I*. W. Alexander.
One of the Vst known citizens of
Georgia passed away when Colonel
P. W. Alexander breathed his last
lit his home in Marietta. For r orty
yevrs he was a well known figure in
this state. He achieved some repu¬
tation as a lawyer, hut was best
known and exerted his most decided
influence as an editor, and especially
as a war correspondent during the
civil strife, and in the latter capaci¬
ty lie was the most [distinguished of
the writers on the side of the south.
Since the war Colonel Alexander
took an active interest in politics up
to the time when his failing health
confined him closely to his family
eircle. . lie was an accomplished,
scholarly gentleman, 'and a man
whose traits of character endeared
him to a host of friends.

Business Prospects.
from the Savannah Times.
Telegrams to Bradstrectsfrom all
•quarters, present, upon the whole, a
very encouraging condition of busi
uess. The South is not doing, as yet,
its full share; the recent earthquake
and the foolish predictions of the
Canadian crank, Wiggins, having
served to demoralize the country
buyers, and unsettle trade. On this
account Now Orleans, Savannah and
Charleston have not yet assumed
their accustomed business activity at
this season ot the year. "1 his set¬
back is only temporary, however,
and as soon as people realize that the
earthquake is not likely to return,
and that Wiggins is only a would-he
scientific Eli lh-rkins, trade in the
South will assume its normal pro
portions. At most other cities, re¬
marks tiiese dispatches, the full vol¬
ume of commercial transacactions
already noted exceed the totals at
like periods in immediately proceed¬
ing years, and in nearly all instances
the most conservative and -uopcful
anticipations are reported within
two months past.
Cotton Quotations.
From the Savannah Morning News.
Some of our Florida patrons api
pear to think that when sea island
cotton quotations fall to appear in
the Morning News they are omitted
for the purpose of assisting specula¬
tors in that kind of cotton. That is
a great mistako. The Morning News
makes every effort to get tne result
of the sea island cotton transactions
and generally succeeds.
As is well known, the Cotton Ex¬
change does rot furnish quotations
for this kind of cotton, and some of
itlie factors who handle it decline to
furnish the prices at which they
make sales. Their reason for refus¬
ing we do not pretend to know.
There have not, however, been
transactions enough this season to
justify quotations, hut it is probable
that in a few days it will be possible
to stale quite definitely the prices
which the different grades Jof sea is¬
lands are
Tile planters may rest assured that
the Morning News will spare no ef¬
fort !o secure for them the latest in¬
formation respecting net, only sea is¬
lands, but also other kinds of cotton.

The Georgia State Fair.
Savannah Times.
\V<* have received a premium list
of the Georgia State Fiar to he in¬
augurated at Macon on the 25th of
October next, and to he continued
two weeks. Monday and Tuesday,
the 25th and 26th proximo, will he
preparation days, and the buildings
will he opened for visitors on the
morning of Wednesday, the 27th.
Extensive preparations are being
made for this exhibition, so interest¬
ing to our farmers in particular and
every citizen of Georgia in general,
and no effort is being spared to ren¬
der it worthy the Empire State of
the South, and make it the most suc¬
cessful of any similar Fair ever held
Ten thousand dollars in cash pretn’
urns will he given away and every
facility w'll he granted exhibitors
for making proper display of their
exhibits, and securing all credit to
which they may he entitled. Arrange
merits have been made with the rail¬
roads for the transportation both
ways of all articles for exhibition for
one fare, and full information will
he given as to the necessary steps to
he taken for securing suitable space.
A machinery hall 210x50 feet, will
be supplied with ample facilities for
the display of such machinery as is
used on or about the farm, while tin
display of manufactures, live stock,
farm and garden products, horticul¬
tural productions and all articles of
home industry will he unsurpassed.
The Fair will he held at the Oentral
<Tty Park, immadiattly below Un
city, and near the river. It is with¬
in an easy and pleasant walk of five
minutes from either of the main ho
tels, and hacks and carriages will al
ways he on hand, at regulation ratas.
The street ears also run to the Fair
Grounds. The facilities for getting
to the grounds are all that could be
desired.
There is no event that ever takes
place in this State, which is of more
importance than these annual fairs.
They not, only excite a spirit of
healthful and generous rivalry, but
they enable agriculturists to meet,
know each other and compare notes
of their sevlral experiences, while
they afford splendid opportunities
for capitalists and visitors to Geor¬
gia to see for themselves the varied
and extensive resources of the State
and the advantages she has to offer
to settlers and investors. The good
to he accomplished by such exhibi¬
tions is incalculable. They not only
stimulate agriculture, the basis of
all prosperitp, hut no better medium
can be devised for offering induce¬
ments to those seeking homes and
fortunes to cast thrir lot wi'li us.
Every citizen of Georgia, there¬
fore, should feel a peesonal interest
in these fairs, and put forth every
exertion to assist, the managers in
making ally, this one the success financi¬
as well as in every other respect
for which they arc so earnestly stri
ving.
