I.O(AI. PORTRAIT!.
NUMBER 1.
Wo are old-fashioned, and haven’t got
Water Works, nor paved streets, nor one
sided houses, nor a groat many other
things that other cities have and think
essential; but wo have our characters
among us, probably in larger proportion
than in those great masses of humanity
like Pekin —and they are ours. They don’t
belong to the world ut large and humanity
in general, like Shakespeare and Martin
Luther. There Is a great charm In owner
ship, and we claim an exclusive right to
these, our Baritlos.
Our lirst Portrait doesn't suspect him
self to be in any way distinguishable
from the great mass of ids fellow beings,
and would bo astonished out of his breath
if you were to toll him ho was a Knight.
But he is. Does not Knighthood consist
in succoring the helpless, relieving the dis
tressed—in kindly thoughts and actions
for “the poor that cried, and the fatherless
that hud none to help him” ? “The bless
ings of him that was ready to perish came
upon him, and ho causes the widow’s heart
to leap for joy.” Is he rich ? They call
him a poor man; he receives a small sal
ary, wears plain clothes, Is as simple in
his tastes us Lamartine’s stone mason;
but the Fairies, or some other beneficent
powers, endow him with inexhaustible fa
cilities for finding whatever any body
needs, from a tooth-pick to a steam en
gine. He has the most inconsistent ap
preciation of the love of luxury In other
people, with all his simplicity and hermit
like habits. Thinks himself very common
place, uud will get off in an hour’s conver
sation the best witticisms and epigrams
that you’ll hear in a week’s travel. Thinks
himself a terror to children; it is a pleas
ant thing to see them, of all ages, sexes
and conditions, tease him, laugh at him,
call him nicknames, and borrow nickels.
I heard someone sav, as he passed, the
other day, "Heaven bless his unremitting,
unostentatious and timely kindnesses to
me!” “Yes!” was the response; “he has
dried many tears, hushed many an anx
ious sigh besides your own, in this
community, that none- not even himself--
will ever know.”
Is he not a Knight?
JiM Dense says that Tommie, the “Bus
Man,” who reported for his mill, was down
to Ids pond to take a bath, and after a
hard scrubbing* he found under the first
coat of accumulated dust, two paper colars
and an undershirt. Tommie, try a larger
pond.

SUPPOSED TO BE THE WORK OF AN INCEN
. DIAIIY.
Saturday night about eleven o'clock Mr.
Hal Chapman discovered the house in
which he was living to bo on fire. He dis
covered tijo lire to have caught tb<* dwell
ing from tho kitchen, that adjoins the
house. Everything in the house was con
sumed except a few pieces of furniture.
Mr. Chapman lost all of his personal ef
fects, while liia wife lost every article of.
dress she possessed. She soon found shel
ter at Mr. Frank Redd’s, who lives very
near.
Mr. Chapman rented the house and
plantation from OoL Barden, and had
moved there last January. He says he
cannot account for the fire upon any other
reasonable hypothesis than that it was set
on fire. There hod boon no fire in the
kitchen during tho latter part of tin* day,
and no fire in the house. While he has no
enemies, lie is satisfied some ono fired his
house. Tho house was entirely consumed.
The loss to Col. Barden is about live hun
dred dollars. Mr. Chapman loses about
three hundred dollars in furniture, money
and clothing.
First Buie r Cotton for ttnnnnah.
On Saturday the first bale of cotton of
the new Georgia crop was received in Ha
vannah bv Messrs. J. W. Luthrop A Cos.,
consigned by Mr. J. W. Staten, or Staten
villo, Echols county, on the Florida Branch
Railroad, and was displayed in front of
the Cotton Exchange. This is six days
earlier than tho first Georgia bale of last
season, which wos shipped by Mr. Staten
to the same firm, and was received here
>n the Gtli of August. This bale weighed
•H 5 pounds, and was sold at 21 cents. That
received on Saturday whs offered at auc
tion, out was subsequently withdrawn
without, sale.
As will be seen by tho following record,
which we present as a matter of interest
ami reference, the bale received on Satur
iay is ahead of any received at Havaunah
within the past five years. In 18*2, a
Florida bale was received on tho 31st of
Inly, and the following day a Georgia bale
was received. The record is as follows:
1870 -August 7th, Georgia growth,
weight 510 pounds, sold at 40 cents.
1871 -August sth. Florida growth, weight
17 pounds, and sold at 30 cents. August
nth, Georgia growth, weight 436 pounds,
sold atß2j a cents.
1872 31st, Florida growth, weight
tt)6 pounds, sold at 25*4 cents. A ujgu&t Ist.
Georgia growth, weight 633 pounds, sold
vt 20% cents.
1873- August Bth, Georgia growth,
weight 510 pounds, sold at 27 cents. Au
gust 10th, Florida growth, weight SOU
,>ounds, sold at 21 cents.
1874 August oth, Georgia growth,
weight 545 pounds, sold at 21 cents.
1876—July 31st, Georgia growth, weight
—, not, sold.
Georgia has the credit of sending the
Irst bale to Savannah in 1870, 1873, 1874.
1875. Florida in 1871 and 1872.
The above, from tho Nciph, shows that
Georgia cotton is beginning to come in
sooner tills year than it has for several
years past. With the exception of 1872 a
>nlo has not boon recovered so early in six
years.
It will not be long before tho first bale
joiues into Columbus. The probabilities
ire that it will come from Florida. First
bales do not command the prices here that
they do in Savannah.
The
The citizens will approve the action of
the council in granting the petition of
mr military companies, asking for the
right to construct a battery on the South
Jommons near Reich’s garden. The peti
tion indicates that t he companies are tak
ing more than former interest in target
shooting, and evidences a desire to attain
% higher degree of proficiency and skill.
A battery nt the point, named will uls
be the source of great convenience to the
oompauics, affording them facili
ties for target practice, without forcing
them to go a considerable distance from
the city. The battery will be so construct
ed as to render even the wildest shooting
harmless.
As soon as the permission of the Com
missioners of Commons is obtained we
suppose the battery will be matte.
As Alderman Jordan said in presenting
tho petition, “title shooting has now be
come a national sport, and our soldiery
ought to practice it.”
Let us keep up with the nation.

It Is customary In several cities in Geor
gia and In many elsewhere, for the Young
Men’s Christian Association to prepare a
course of lectures for every winter, and to
furnish each of these cities with the moans
of solid literary enjoyment. The speakers
selected are usually men of wide reputa
tion and acknowledged ability -men whom
it Is a pleasure ami a profit to hoar,
and who attract audiences in communi
ties not remarkable for literary attain
ment.
Is it probable that the Young Men’s
Christian Association here could carryout
this scheme for the coming winter? Tho
lectures could be obtained, for other asso
ciations In the State will Induce distin
guished speakers to come and lecture for
them, and when once In the State they
could l>e gotten to any point In it. There
would lie no difficulty about obtaining a
number of able and distinguished speak
ers. The only question is, would it pay?
Would the city furnish audiences large
enough to defray necessarily large ex
penses.
It has often been said that the Southern
people do not appreciate lectures, and it is
really time that often slim houses greet
speakers whoso fame and whose talent
should entitle them to an enthusiastic re
ception. This is by no means always the
euso, and often when it does happen it
can be accounted for on other grounds
than a want of appreciation. Prices
are often put so high that only
the wealthy can hear what many a poor
rnan who is compelled to stay away longs
to enjoy. In one or two cities in the State
last, winter lectures were furnished by
library associations, oa wall as Christian
associations, and they were largely at
tended.
In some cases the pecuniary success of
the enterprise was quite encouraging,
while there seems not to have been any
loss by any association that undertook the
plan.
There la a large class of our people who
would like very much to l>e afforded the
opportunity of enjoying a set of fine lec
tures next winter. With a judicious selec
tion of speakers and a proper arrange
ment of prices, it Is probable tliat good
audiences could be obtained.
It is suggested that the Young Men’s
Christian Association assume the manage
ment of the lectures, as unfortunately we
have no literary society or library asso
cidtion. Horae association must manage
the course of lectures. It is at least worth
the inquiry of the body referred to wheth
er the plan of having a course of half a
iozen l<H*.turcß for the winter will succeed,
ft is possible that it might be mode a
source of pecuniary profit; surely tlje ex
penses incident from various causes could
be defrayed.
As wo said before, many of our people
would be happy to enjoy the pleasure of a
set of fine lectures for the winter, and the
literary taste and culture of our people
might bo wonderfully bonefitted thereby.

It Is very common to hear merchants
and others speak of the brightening pros
pects afforded by a glance into the next
six months or two. They expect trade to
begin to revive about tho middle of Sep
tember, and from that time on the benefi
cial effects of t he incoming crops are looked
for. Great hopes are based on the coming
winter. Many a man long oppressed with
a burden of debt and care thinks the load
is about to bo lifted. Many a dreamer of
fortune thinks he is now nearing the reali
zation of all that he has dreamed. Many
a wild speculator is ready to launch into
the busy tide of active trade. Great tilings
are bound to happen this winter. There
will be many a disappointment.

male Regulator is beyond precedent in
the annals of popular remedies. Orders

etor has, heretofore ixtin unable to 1111

rangements are now complete by which
he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a scale equal to the emer
gency, and the public may feel assured
that their wauts may now be eupplhxl. ;
Physicians of high repute arc using this j
great remedy, in daily practice, all over !
Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf- !
for from suppnvssed, suspended or irreg

eine is prepared by L. H. Bradiield, Drug

bottle by druggists throughout America.
HEARTY, BLOOMING WIDOW.
Marietta, Ga., March 9,1870.
Messrs. Brad field A Cos.:
Gentlemen—You will please ship us an
other supply of your invaluable Female
Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We
are happy to state that this remedy gives
better satisfaction than any article we
sell. We have been sidling it since 1868,
aud witnessed many remarkable cures by
it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and sickly
until she was twenty-six years old, when
she was married. Her husband lived two
years and died, She continued in bad
health; in fact, she has never been what
a woman ought to be. A lew months
after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
store and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, and took it according to di
rections. It has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with the use of but two bot
tles of your Regulator, costing her only
thro? dollars, when she had tried several
physicians and spent a great deal of
money without any benefit. Wishing you
3reat success with your valuable reme
ies, we are, respectfully yours, etc.,
W. Root A Sons.

supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions

Jordan's Joyous Julep.
A Specilic for Neuralgia.
TESTIMONIALS.
s
Petersburg, Va., Jau. 20th, 1875.
John L. Jordan. Esq.—Dear Sir: Ho well pleased
am I with your Joyous Julep, that I hereby tes
tify to the superior merit of your unequaled
preparation for Neuralgia. I shall esteem my
self happy should even one of that worst of all
classes of sufferers be led through me to take the
Julep. My wife has for ten (10) years been a mar
tyr to the most malignant ami persistent neural
gic torture, without being able t<> find any relief
except from your preparation. Hbe was relieved
by the second dose as per directions, and has not
ha 1 a return of it for two months. To some 1
may seem strangely sanguine about your medi
cine, but I have a right to be ao. It is not rea
sonable to suppose this malignant malady won id
have died of sheer exhaustion of capacity for
sustaining itself, and that too in a minute, and
the very minute your medicine was taken. If so.
it is a most remarkable, simple coincidence, and
I prefer giving the credit in your favor of the
best testimony man can ever have—experience.
Vary truly yours.
JAMES T. TOSH.
CoLOfßrs, January 16,1875.
Mr .Jordan: —l take great pleasure in recom
mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia,
has produced a moat wonderful relief in one 01
the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter
ever has had. Bho has been treated for it by
three skillful physicians, with very little benefit,
and used all the usual remedies with little suc
cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per
manent cure. It is only two days since we began
the use of it. and it is appareutly of permanent
benefit. Yaurs, with respect,
MRS. L. L NORMAN.
