VIM. Middleton Falls Overheard,
Making the Second This Week.

VIM. Middleton Falls Overheard,
Making the Second This Week.
Yesterday afternoon, about O'Clock,
seyen-year-old colored boy named
William Middleton was drowned at the
Ferry dock. lie was playing with several
other small boys about the boats when
dead fish floated by. One of the larger
bOys told Middleton that he had TO get the
fsh. The boy took off his clothing,
Crawied out on a floating stage which
was tied to the dock, and reached for the
fish. 1t was just beyond his grasp, and
in attempting TO catch 1t the boy slipped.
Tue boards were wet and slippery, and
Middleton lost his grip and rolled into
the river. Toe undertOW was strong and
carried the boy under. There was no.
body to render him assistance except the
small boys and they were apparently too
much frightened TO help him. The bow
was not seen after he went down the first
time.
Middleton's mother, who lives in Goat
alley, was at once notified of the accident.
She went down to the scene of the acct
dent aud saw his clothes IN boat but dld
not attempt TO remove them. John VIM,
the diver, made several attempts to re-
cover the body but did not succeed in
finding 1t. The father OF the boy is absent
from the city.

The Business Outlook in Albany.

From the A761ny tGa.l Ne1es and Advertiser,
The outlook for Albany at present, If we
rely upon the agencies and indications
usually consulted in fOrecasting our do
nestle, commercial and financial status,
has not been more hopeful in many years.
Indeed the prospects for an abundant
harvest in this region and a correspond
ing revival OF trade In Albany, the CON-
mercial centre of Southwest Georgia, have
never been more fiattering.
Those Of our planters who have grown
watermelons for the Northern markets
this season nave done well, and the effects
OF their prosperity haye been felt, more or
less, in almost every branch of trade.
Money is tight enough, to be sure, but
it was worse last summer when the wa
termelOn crop was less profitable and
brought less cash into the community.
The corn crop for this year has been
made. That is to say, the season has been
propitiOus for it, and is now so far ad-
Vanced that neither excessive rains nor
continued drought could affect the crop
to any great extent. A good corn crop in
this region Is, therefore, assured, and the
season has also been favorable $50 far for
all cereals, and for peas, potatoes. sugar
cane and other important "side crops"
which are material elements in our do
mestlc economy.
1t is too early yet to say, with any de-
gree of certainty, that good cotton crop
is assured; but it can certainly be said
that the signs" are so far very favorable.
The excessive rains in June and during
the first two weeks of July caused some
uneasiness, and the farmers bad COM
menced TO complain that the cotton was
''shedding' to a damaging extent, but
with the more favorable weather which
wehaVe had during the last iOrtnig hit these
complaints have ceased. The plants now
growing very rapidly, and wherever it
has been properly cultivated promises
a good yield. That worst OF all known
enemies to the cotton plant the caterpil-
lar, has not made its appearance in sufii-
cient numbers to do any harm. In fact,
the News and Advertiser has heard no
reports of caterpillars anywhere except
on One or two plantations, and even in
these isolated cases, as 1t were, they have
not appeared in sufficient number to cause
serious apprehension.

The South Florida to Change from
Narrow to Standard.
The South Florida railroad has COM
meuced preparations to widen its track to
The standard gauge. A new device for
adjusting the gauge and setting the spikes
has been secured, and the spikes along
the line are now being set. When the
spikes on the outside of the rails are all
set TO regular gauge, 1t wiz De an easy
matter to draw the spikes which now hold
the rails, throw the iron out and put new
spikes on the inside Of the rails. 1T is eX-
pected that the change will be MADE in
August or September. Eight of the loco
motives now in use will be widened to the
standard and continue in use, and several
OF the coaches will also be treated in the
same way and continued in service for

IN THE RAILWAY WORLD.
The Suit Against tho Central Over

the Augusta Canal Withdrawn.
Capt. Raoul, President of the Central
railroad system, was before the canal
committee of Council of Augusta Tues
day, IN reference to the bridge of the Au-
gusta and Knoxville road, which has its
piers in the canal This bridge is built
upon large timbers placed Immediately
in the channel, and it had been claimed
that the construction OF the same inter
fered with the flow OF water, hence
the city authorities notified the rail-
road to have the obstruction removed
and bridge of one span placed
there. Capt. RaOul argued that il would
cost 500, 900 to place such structure over
the canal, and the road was not able to do
so from its earnings, as 1t had never made
any money. The matter was finally re-
ferred to the city Engineer to confer with
MIR. Raoul as TO the proper structure to
be placed there, and the suit against the
road to be withdrawn In the meantime.

(from JsnHis Juae's FG$hio0 Letter) -
Graduating dresses are always a
source of trouble and anxiety with
eXpectant graduates from school and

able to send or give their order to a
competent dresSmaker; the majority
"worry" over the difficulty Of making
an adequate appearance out of made
quatc resources. The best thing, prob
ably, that the majority can do is to
procure one of the machiue embroid-
cred white muslinS, make it up with
full! open bodice, and wear cream, pale
yellow or hc!iotrope satin belt and
ribbons. But if they would begin L
year before and embroiler in deli

would bc obtained, not only at a COM
