CITY AFFAIRS.
if Jon** T. Uuuebtm Is our authorlted agent in
Atlanta. Ue will canvass tbs dtj for subscribers,
aud take advertisements. All receipts given by hiw

Look lit Mr. Loro's curd this morning.
There is a mutter for you to attend to
without delay.
Worthy of Imltaatioa.
We commend the example of Chorlie
Hughcs, whoso advertisement appears in
our columns. He was brought up in
Athens and this city without the advant
ages of education or fortune ; has from
childhood worked hard, kept sober, and
is steadily gaining ground. Patronize
him.
The Fi u't Market.
The city was bountifully supplied with
different kinds of fruit all of lust week,
and this trade was brisk till Saturday
night. Watermelons appeared to be the
leading article, and every train from Au-
guhtu brought car loads of the finest
kind. Notwithstanding this the prices
have been, we think, unusuully high—
ranging from fifty cents to one dollar and
twenty-five cents. Home of our largest
fruit dealers do a heavy jobbing business,
and sell melons at the same price here
as they can bought further Booth.--
Messrs. Stokes *fc liro., sold nearly five
hundred melons Saturday, and other
fruits in proportion. Pease and his wife,
perhaps, do the largest trade impeaches,
and they sold and shipped over one hun
dred and twenty-five crates the same day.
As the season advances the fruits improve
in size and flavor, and prices get lower
every day.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
On Friday night, two prominent mem
bers of the City Council stepped out of
the Chamber to have a private talk and
understanding as to how they should vote
on some measure which would come be
fore the body on that occasion. Iu or
der to be perfectly quiet and secluded
they walked some distance out into the
pea patch, and were consulting in an un
dertone on the subject. While thus en
gaged, Pat. Fitzgibbon, who is nil ears
and eyes,-and continually on the look,
espied these gentlemen, aud mistook
them for another cow, which had broken
iu upon the pea patch. Quitely stooping
down, lie gathered him several rocks
and then cautiously slipping up close to
the supposed robber, so as to give her a
good ‘‘welt,” he drew back, when one of
the city fathers took all in at a glance,
and a very quick one, too. He suDg out:
“ Don’t throw, Mr. Gibbons ! It’s us—
two members of Council!”
This saved them. Pat dropped his
rocks, and remarked;
“ Be jasus, aud I thought it was anither
thaving cow come to eat up our peas, and
I was was going to brake the rascul's ribs
entirely,”
It is useless to say that the gentlemen
soon decided as to which way the vole
should be cast, and retired from tbe spot
which came so near proving disastrous.
BRANCH ALLEY.
Remark* for the Benefit of <h«'
Council.
Mr. $di tor : It is to be hoped the
Council will reconsider their action of
Friday last on the subject of changing
the name of Branch Alley. It Is believed
that none of the owners of property on
that street were consulted in this matter;
v certainly some of the larger owners were
not, and do protest against the same as
published.
Branch Alley is a street, mapped, loca
ted and nornt'd in the originul Mitchell
subdivision at tbe same time with For
syth, Guruett and other streets. Deeds
of conveyance, maps of the city, gazet
teers, directories, mills, machine shops,
&c., Ac., have recognized that name, and
localities uud business establishments are
now identified with it aud do not desire
a change. If the public desire a change,
let it be to that which will create the least
confusion. Branch street would not be
objectionable. It is an agreeable name,
readily remembered, easily written, ami
denotes iu the change the diguity oi
. pro wrens from alley to street.
There are general reasons and some
special ones why the new name is inap
propriate.
If the member who proposed this
•change, aud further to extend the street
to Thompson, had given the matter any
serious attention, he might have saved
himself and his fellow-members from a
ridiculous position; for a very little en
quiry with the holders of property on the
proposed extension, or a reference to a
city map would have at once shown that
the city is now the controller of the en
tire line. Branch Alley has always ex
tended to Thompson street
Its residents have time and repeatedly
entreated, begged, petitioned and urged
of the authorities to make the way pass
able, nt 1-wst for foot passengers, end yet
entreat that it be done, but on the con
trary the recent working of Thompson
and White street all, and the no work on
Forsyth street, has made it more inap
proachable than ov r.
Now, that attention is directed to this
8‘reet, let it l>e pi* ed iu proper Older
and all incumbrances of whutever kind,
be removed from one extremity to the
other—that the public may have the ben
efit of iU entire width.

MAYOR’S COURT—SATURDAY.
Tk« Smiths on Hand—The Green Eyed
IIoa.tir.Two to One—Mrs. SmIIh In
Conrt.
The “ gilt edge ” spoken of that was
to be on hand Saturday, failed to put iu
an appearanoe. The report, however,
that something of the sort was on the
tapis, had the effect to bring his Hooor-
iu-chief out. But not a single white
piece of calico was to be seen. How
that happened Jonsen only knows. It
was evidently a great disappointment to
the Court, for it had whetted its beaks
for this dainty morceau, which had
promised such a feast. The knowing
ones kuew that the other offenders then
on hand would catch it. The first one
called up was
HENRY WABSAKNAM,
a plasterer. This gentlemau had in his
employ several negroes, aud had regular
hours for them to w ork. Like a good
mechanic, he had system, aud his work
men were bound to obey his rules. One
obstreperous darkie undertook to manage
WarsArnam’s business for him, when the
latter very properly knocked the day
lights ont him with his fist. For this ho
paid $10.
Then the deck was cleaned for action
in the
SMITH FAMILY UNPLEASANTNESS.
Martha Jackson was arraigned for dis
orderly conduct, quarreling and fighting.
Tt seems that Martha lived close by the
Smith mansion, and that John Smith
was on very intimate terms with Miss
Martha. Nothing more, however, than
mere friends. On Friday John was
at the house of Mrs. Wioship
and Martha was there too. ifrs. John,
for a long time, had smelt a big-sized rat,
and had taken several occasions to give
her lord curtain lectures upon the course
he was pursuing, and at the meeting jmt
alluded to she happened iu herself, anil
suggested to John that he had better be
at borne working the garden. To this
John 'gave some tart reply, and com
menced a regular onslaught upon his
spouse. She being game to the back
bone, gave John as good as he scut, when
they both tumbled out the door. Then
she called Martha a bat-mout bitch and
several other names, which Martha
couldn’t stand, and slu* sailed into Mrs.
Smith, biting her ear, head uud arm.
The rascally part John played was iu
holding his wife for Martha to beat her.
This his Honor considered too bad, and
fined Martha $10 and costa.
JOHN SMITH
was then tried for his part in the fuss.
Mrs. Smith was very bitter against John
and reminded the Court of a little black
wasp. Her passions ran so high in court
that she turned blue. His Honor thought
she had been treated badly, and told
John he could not come the Brigham
Young over this community without first
buying his checks, and this oue would
cost him ten dollars.
HESTER SMITII
was the aggrieved party. After le.during
her for a long time about how she must
treat her husband, by kindly mending
his clothes, cooking his food, looking his
head aud other family duties, she was let
off.
If there is anything in this world the
Mayor is better at than another, it is in
lecturing. Ho is a natural born lecturer,
and he seldom fails to bring tears to the
ryts of his subjects, wheu he commences
upon them.

We invite the careful attention of the
people of Georgia to the following, which
appeared in the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal of recent date.
It has as muoh force here, more indeed
as money is less plentiful with us than
in Kentucky, and we trust it will awaken
a thoughtful consideration of the whole
subjeot:
We have always been advocates of en
couragement to home institutions in pre
ference to all others. ' In proportion to
the patronage extended to enterprises of
our own will our activity and general
prosperity be advanced. On the contrary
so long as we ooufees inferiority and make
our mentropolis only the mart or the
way station for the trade of Northern or
Eastern cities, just so long will our enter
prise be abridged, our energies crippled,
and our prosperity made secondary to
those who claim a manufacturing or com
mercial supremacy. This matter is too
important and serious in its character to
merit only a passing notice. It is one of
sufficient gravity to demand the calm
and earnest consideration of our citizen*
Claiming as we do the future trade of the
South, we must show ourselves worthy,
or its people will go elsewhere. The
necessities of onr people demand that all
the sources of labor that we can ooutrol
should be placed and kept among them.
We should not only establish new enter
prises, but should foster and support
those which we have. Among the most
important of theso are publishing houses
which will not only furnish good books
for the use of our children and suited to
the temper of our people, but will retain
money in our business circles, give em
ployment to numbers of our deserving
mechanics, and com maud the patronage
and commercial intercourse of our sister
States.
Our remarks will apply with equal force
to other cities of the South and West
whose people aspire to commercial inde
pendence. These reflections are supple
mental to our article of the 20th lust,
on commercial and manufacturing cen
ters. We have an illustration of the
readiness with which the people of the
South are led from their true interests by

Text—"A companion of fnals shall be
destroyed. Prov. 13: 20. *
There is an animal of the lizard kind
known by its power of changing its color
to that of any object on which It may be.
There is also an animal not of the saurian
or lizadl kind, which also takes its oolor
from its associations, and that animal is
man.
“Fool” in Scripture means sinner, for
sin is folly. Oar Saviour used the word
in the parable of the rich man, who had
not where to bestow his goods. Sinners
are fools in a higher degree than other
men.
The dootrine of the text is that he who
frequents the company of siuners will be
destroyed. The words of the text are
absolute, but they are to be taken in
a qualified sense; for many associate with
sinners by necessity or for the purpose
of doing them good.
The companions of sinners, who have
come to an untimely end, can trace their
ruin to their associates. They are de
stroyed—not in time, but iu eternity.
1st When sinners become companions
they mutually assist each other in sin
ning. Men may have different views
when they are apart, but when they come
together they become of one mind, mere
ly by association and interchange of
views. Especially is this true of sinners.
Honoc, State Prisons, as generally man
aged, are a curse instead of a blessing to
society. The young and inexperienced
criminals are thrown with the hard
ened, confirmed, and thus become more
depraved and hardened. The same
is true with regard to gaming tables,
intemperenoe and lea Inca*. A* there
are inventions in arts .uid s hence*.
•^eidoDa argnmenta’la U tbe U 'oompan>tiYe I *j* ere * re iuvnuUuua iu tha practicu of
success General Gordon has met with in
canvassing for a New York publishing
house. Gen. Gordon is now on a visit
to this city, and we presume, though we
know not his affairs, oomes on business
connected with the compauy of which he
is the traveling agent. The publishing
company which lie represents, having
failed twice iu hu individual enterprise,
now solicits aid from the South to enable
it to carry on its business. It is not
now our province to criticise the 1>ooks
which this company offers to the teachers
and parents of tbe South in return for
the vast demands it makes upon their
pockets. It is with this attempt fcodraio
off the scant)'means of onr people that
wo have to do. In what are onr people
ben efit ted if Gen. Gordon tikes their
money to be swallowed np in New York V
Should their capital go to the support of
Northern labor w hen other means of in
vestment at home invite their attention ?
We have the kindliest feelings for the
gentleman of whom we have just spoken,
but we submit it to the good sense of the
Southern people if his practice is not at
variance with his preaching. If the en
terprise which he commends to them
should prove a success, the stockholders
may receive regular dividends upon their
shares, but the country at large is injured
in proportion to the sums of money ex
tracted from her people. The people of
the Houth have iu all things else been
slow to appreciate that the true secret of
commercial independence lies in the es
tablishment of factories and workshops
with their own capital, within their own
territory, and controlled by themselves.
For all the benefit which may accrue to
them from lending too willing an ear to
Gen. Gordon’s speeches, the publishing
bouse which they are called on to patron
ize might us well be located iu London.

2d. Sinners encourage each other by
argument and invitation.
We are especially apt to imitate* sin.
Sinful companions onoourage i nch otlu-r
by argument, flattery aud ridicule.. How
many youths of pious parentage are
laughed out of their good principles by
mocking companions. Sinners tell their |
victims that the warnings of teachers aud
parents are a bugbear.
3d. Sinners communicate their Bin by
contagion. The body is more suscepti
ble to disease at some times than at
others; but the soul is, from its natural
proneness to sin, alwuys ready to imbibe
the infection. You sec a mob shouting
aud raving, but you kuow not what has
assembled them. They themselves know
not why they are full of passion; but it is
from the principle of sympathy.
4th. Sinners exclude each other from
good company. He that walketh with
the good is wise, according to the first
part of the verse of the text. The wise
are the religious, and so the companions
of sinners cannot be wise.
The change from virtue to vice is grad
ual. For instance, the drunkard learns
of his companions and then retires into
his closet or the social board to indulge.
He may drink much in privute, but he
learns in society with others.
With sinners the yonng victim learns
his first lessons of fraud. The cheat be
comes a thief.
Profaneness has its school and holds
its malignant dominion iu the oompauy
of rinnen. With trembling lip -and
aching heart, the young swearer utters
his first oath—only when he has learned
to hold lightly the name of Jehovah
from the association with siuners.
The same is true of licentiousness.—
The society of the libertine censes the
feet of youth to leave the path of virtue
and taking hold of the ways of death
go down to helL Like the Trojan youth
who gathered around the Grecian horse
with laughter and dancing, and hailed
with joy the very cause of their ruin, so
sinners treat as an object of contempt
the very cause of their ruin. u Fools
make a mock of sin.”

This language inculcates the ibaolnte
necessity of looking forward, if we wish
to attain spiritual prosperity and future
salvation. This is taught by the Apostlo
whenever be saw the appearance of wav

great advantage of uuwaveriug fidelity to
any plan whatsoever; still more is this
necessary in Christian duties. There can
be no progress if we yield to our impulses;
for these are ever variable, oscillating
like the branches before the wind.
These impulses, however, can be oon-
troled by the exercise of determined will
and sober reason. It impulse he superior

no work can be accomplished.

thereon but leaven only, and mid unto it,
11 Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward
forever. And presently the fi£ tree withered

On the day before this miraole, Christ
had enjoyed a grand triumphal march
into the "City of the Greet King.” The
multitude spread* their garments, and
cast palm branches on the way, and oried
hosannah to the Son of David ; blessed
is He that someth in the name of the
Lord; hosannah in the highest." He
cast out from the temple all those who
had made.Hia Father'! house “ a dsn of
thieves.” As he heeled the blind aad
lame—the children who beheld these
good works echoed the shoot of the
multitude, “Hosannah to the Bon
of David.” On the next morning
before breakfast, as He returned to tbe
city, from the hospitable home of Laza
rus, where He had spent a night of quiet
repose ; He aaw one fig tree by the way-
side, clothed with foliage. Although "the
time of figs wasnot yet.” Still ns a man,
He had the right to expect fruit, because
there wore leaves—for the two always
grew together. Finding the tree had put
forth tho pretensions of fruit, without
meeting the expectations awakened there
by, He pronounced a curse upon it
Among all the miracles of Christ, this,
upon an bur* invite object, is the only one
characterized by any degree of severity ;
and yet this is the most brilliant display
of meroy found among His wonderful
works. It is the bell of warning, hung

“ When we were without drength in

Yon hath be quickened who were dead
in trespasses and in sin.
At that time ye were without Cliriet,

Israel and strangers from the covenant of
promise, having no hope aud without Urn!
in the world.
By the offenoe of one man judgment
oume upon all men to eotulemnalion.
This iu the dark picture.
He is weak, ungodly, a sinner, an alien,
an enemy under condemnation, dead iu
trespass and in sin, without hope aud
without God in tho world. Yet to suoh
the apostle preached the Gospel; they
were able to believe and obey, and of
such he said, "And ye are complete in
Him.”
Of these very men he said, "Christ is
made unto you wisdom, righteousness,
sanctification and redemption." I cau
do all things through Christ whioh
strengtheneth me.
How is it that these men, onoe dead,
now stand complete in Christ, lacking
nothing.
First "He is in Christ"
Second. "Christ strengtheneth him.”
He heard the word—trusted—obeyed—
was baptised iuto Christ—put on Christ
—is oomplete in him—oun do all things
through Christ
Tis first necessary to be in Christ—
adopted into the divine family—to have
in him the power of endless life.
His former state, as compared with
this, is as tho idiot compared to the man.
The idiot is a blank—no progression, no
advance forever ; tbe man nos in him
eternal oapnbilities and an endless pro
gression.
The natural man is to spiritual life e
blank, no advance, no progression. But
the uew man in Christ Jesus, is a true
living tone, s fearful power correcring on
its way to eternity ; growing, radiating,
expanding, forevor approximating the
glorious excellency of God.
The oourso of the natural man is down
ward, inoressed by accumulating gravita
tion ; the uew muu iu Christ Jesus, in
the world, yet living above it, ssy without
blasphemous presumption, " I can do all
thiugs through Christ whioh strength
eneth me.”
Uatan has a kingdom and its ordinan
ces; end men, by waiting upon these, be
come the "rulers of the durkness or
wiokedness of this world.” It is by vis
iting the bull room, the theatre, tho curd
table, tlm bar room and other nameless
places of infamy, that men become adap
ted to crime. The devil duet not impart
to them in any other way his devilish na
ture; hut by practicing these they eau al
last say, with blasphemous boldness, "1
can do anything that is wicked." You
have seen suob men, and you will become
suoh if you oontiune to wulk iu the devil'
oommaudments and ordinances.
Christ has his ordinances, by observing
whioh we grow in greoo daily until wo ar
rive at the stature of perfect meu iu
Christ Jesus. Among these ere score!
prayer, family worship, religious associa
