Gen. Gordon's lecture tonight was
greeted by a large audience and thor
oughly appreciative one.
To-day has been the greatest day that
Valdosta has ever known. Never before
In her history were so many people crowd
ed upon her streets and never has there
been such royal programme for the en-
tertainment Of her visitors. The crowds
to-day were far greater than yesterday,
and they came from every point of the
compass. All of the trains to-day and
last night brought hundreds of people and
it is conservatively estimated that fully
l., 900 people were here. All of the streets
were filled with the crowds, while every
place of amusement was packed and
damned. The weather was just a little
warmer than yesterday, but was by no
means uncomfortably warm.
The fancy bicycle drill opened the
amusements of the day and the sight was
a beautiful one. Following closely upon
that came the big parade of industries,
forming another splendid pageant, lead by
the police and city officials. Nearly all
of the enterprises here were in the process

CORRECTION OF AN ERROR.
Louisville Bank Put in n False Light
Internationally.

Chicago. ILL.,, July 14.-To the Public: on
June 20 a news dispatch, originating in
New Orleans, was transmitted over the
wires of the Associated Press giving de-
tails Of the conviction Of Louis Gallet, for
robbing the Union National Bank of that
city OF $4,000 by juggling the concerns
balances.
The item stated further that the discov-
cry of the frauds led to the closing of the
bank, and that Gallets confederate COM
mitted suicide rather than face the accu-
sation OF theft.
was changed by an operators error, so
that the item appeared in the columns of
eastern newspapers under Louisville,
KY, date, and as a consequence refiec-
lions were cast upon the Union National
Bank of Louisville as to It's financial
standing. etc.
II goes without saying that the Associ-
ated Press never for a moment contem-
plated reflection upon the good name of
the Union National Bank Of Louisville,
an institution that is generally known TO
be sound 10 the core, therefore the Assoc
cated Press considers Il its plain duty to
afford the bank clear justice In some de-
gree for the false light In which Il has
been placed, and to this end makes haste
10 announce that the Union National
Bank Of Louisville. Ky, Is nowise con.
nected with the New orleans affair, and
that Il rests to-day, as II always has,
upon a sound financial basis.

The Commissioners and the People.

Ihe Commissioners and the People,
Editor Morning News: The county
commissioners are supposed to be the ser.
wants of the people and are expected to
look after the wants of the people, but in
our case the people seem to be the SER
wants Of the county commissioners. The
will Of the citizens is nothing compared
to the views of one or
two members of that august
body. The people have spoken through
their grand turies, asking that the Me-
ridian road be built, and that the toll
roads of this county be made free roads.
The strongest petition that ever went
from the taxpayers of this county TO seS
OF county officials was sent TO our com-
missioners asking that the Vernon shell
road be made a free road.

were planning to destroy the value OF

RES nave been ignored. The petition of

voice that cried out for the protection oe

by might seem TO prevail and the questions
OF right laid on the shelf for future use.

Sylvania, Ga, July 15.-R. T. Mills. who
lives about a mile and half from SYLVIA
mia, is showing a small, lght-colored
rock, nearly as large as a guinea egg
which, he says, fell upon his house zev-
eral days ago during a shower of rain.
He was on the piazza at the time and the
rain was falling hard, when he heard the
rock hit the shed with a fearful crash.
and then saw Il roll Off into the yard.
Thinking perhaps IL was hail, he picked
IL up, and he says Il was colder than anv
ice he ever felt. He was so IMPRESSED
with this. that he put the rock into a
bucket of water, and in "A short while the
water was all ice cold. Mills has no neigh
bors very near him, and as his family
were all In the house at the time there
was no one else on the place, he declares
IL was impossible that the rock could have
been thrown by any one. Besides the
crash with which IL came down, and It's
extreme frigidity, would exclude such an
idea. Had Il not hit just over one of the
rafters, he believes IL would have gone

THE WATERMELON MARKET.
The. journal of Commerce on the Sit
uatiOn at New York.

New York. July 1.-THE market was
fAiher unfavorable for melons early in
the season, but the supply has been mod
crate and, although the early receipts
were light and the crop still shows a re-
duction over the usual quantity, as the
melons from more northern sections come
forward the market has steadily Inn
proved The continued warm weather
has probably stimulated trade more than
anything else, but the melons have been
of very fine quality and have been rea-
sonably low. Receipts last week were
quite heavy, footing up to 1874 carloads.
Early In the week supply was quite light,
but the receipts were very heavy latter
part OF the week. Previous to Thursday
very high prices were realized, some car
loads Of extra heavy melons, averaging
perhaps about forty pounds each, selling
at $500 per car and a good many were
placed at S@0d350, with medium-sized
melons ranging down to $50 or lower for
railroad receipts. The arrivals by steam
er have been much less desirable than
other melons, as the fruit has been gem
orally heated and over ripe, and such have
had to sell low; probably bulk of the
business in steamer melons has been In
range Of 100000 per carload. When the
receipts increased, however, middle OF last
week the market declined, and $500 became
top for the finest rail receipts. This week
market opened with very heavy receipts
thirty-eight carloads arriving on Monday,
but weather continued so warm that de-
mand was active and the melons moved
out promptly at well sustained prices.

Two Kinds of NJ. ley.

believe as firmly in one measure of
values as do in one measure of weights
and in one of length. The double stand
ard seems to me to involve dishonest
intent. If we are to have two kinds OF
money of different values, then some
body is going to be overreached or de-
frauded in every business transaction.
The debtor will always pay in the
cheaper kind of money, no matter
which kind he may promise to pay in
when he contracts his debt. The pur-
chaser of goods or land or other kinds
of property will naturally tender in
payment money of the lower standard
of value and not of the higher standard.

A Good Word For Les Miserables.

We must not be too hasty in reaching
conclusions as to the foolishness of that
committee of the Board of Education
of Philadelphia which has decided that
LES MIsERABLEs is not proper book
to use as a textbook for the girls OF
the high-school. While LES MIsERAB.
LES is one of the great and good books
of the century, there is room for differ.
ences of opinion as to whether it is
adapted, as a whole, to the uses OF
schoolgirls, Anum Der of accomplished
educators think that it is not, and 9TH
ers equally accomplished take no ex-
ception to it. Discreet ladies who
manage young ladies' boarding-schools
have welcomed the whole of it into
their households, and readers gener-
ally delight in it because it is such
great story and of so admira BILE a
power to cure the ailments of the soul.
II newspaper discussion OF it's pre-
prieties results in carrying it to new
readers, that will be a considerable
good, and certainly those Philadelphia
girls who don't read it in school must
be sure to read it out of school, for it
is one of the books that persons who
have souls ought not to miss. One OF
the delightful experiences of life is to
read LES MIsERABLEs for the first time
Where is there another single book of
equal power 70 make bad people long
to be good, to make weak people long
to be strong, and to awaken in strictly
good people realiza zion of charity?
1t is doubtful if the American Tract
Society has in it's whole list so far
reaching and strenuous a Christian
document as LES MIsERABLEs. Il Har-
per's Weekly.
