Augusta is all right" said a prominent
citizen from there yesterday. ut is true,
we have had a pretty tough time of it since
the food set in, but we are once more on
our feet, and you may state that the town is
alive to her interests, aad things are hum

most Of them-so that a team can pass over
the breaks at a trot without tearing
everything to pieces. The canal has
been repaired, the inundated buildings have
been overhauled and put on new founda-
tons, the merchants have replaced their
stocks, and the old city has thrown off her
mourning garments and is living and NOV

has been postponed to Nov. s. we will have
ample time to make more extensive prepar-

much larger attendance than il it had

Lieut.. Henry Kolshorn, of the German

the wisdom of our action.

to put our beautiful city in as good condition as
it was before the overflow, and also will make our
exposition the greatest event the south has ever
seen. We rely upon our neighbors and friends

which was opened by Emma Abbott last
year. The house holds comfortably 800
people. George Wilson packed 1900 in its

THIEVES FARE BADLY,
Farmers Trying to Break Up Hog and
Cattle Stealing.

Cattle Stealing.
Cattle and hog stealing have become so
common that farmers have determined to
break it up by prosecutions. 1t is not long
since Mr.. Gugie Bourquin had some cattle
thieves arrested, and yesterday morning
Mr.. Samuel Dotson had Richard Grant
(colored) arrested for the theft of three
hogs.
Mr.. Dotson, who lives about eight miles
from the city, near the Augusta road, had
not missed his stock until friend informed
HIM that if he would go to Grants place
and examine a pen hidden away in patch
of brambles, he might find something to
interest him. He acted upon his friends
advice, and found three of his porkers with
the marks altered. He got special consta-
bic James White to make the ar
rest and yesterday morning Grant
was gathered in. He admits the
soft impeachment. He was taken before
Justice Patterson, and, in default of bond,
the justice committed him to Jail Dotson
went back home in the afternoon to get his
property. He said that he felt sorry that
it was necessary to pros acute the old colored
man, but hog stealing is getting TO be too
frequent, and he could not afford to coun-
tenance it. leaving the value of the hogs
out Of the question.

ut is common idea among piano makers
that the individuality of piano lies in the
scale, and that if you can only faithfully
copy scale of a certain make, you can alb

is entirely erroneous. There are plenty of
