llu» It Happened.
It caused a great deal of comment
and talk among the ladies. It couldn't
be called a case of slander, because,
“indeed you know” it was not. Still it
caused a great stir among tlie ladies,
especially those who talk. AVell, liow
many of them talk? Why, they all
talk J. S. Jones’selling dry goods at
such low figures. They say that they
can’t see how he can afford to sell so
cheaply. AVell, it is true, nevertheless,
and to learn more about the matter,
just read his new advertisement on the
inside of to-day's paper.
The above may appear to wear the
guise of a sensation, and we wish to
say right here that it is a “sensation”—
all the remarkably low prices of liis
goods, such an extensive line as lie has
never had before. The ladies will talk
about his new departure anil his low
prices regardless of what lie or anyone
else may say.
I)o not forget the old and popular
Milliner, Airs. Lee, who for twenty-
five years has given such universal
saiisfaction in Goods and prices. Her
present stock is magnificent.

Thr Choral I'nion Concert.
It will be given on the evening of
the 22d, and be a gem of melody. We
hear that a lady and gentleman, whose
voices are new to our general public,
and are superb, have consented to give
one or more solos. The programme
lias been very carefully prepared, and
L’Allegro and 11 Penseroso will have
representatives, and perhaps some of
the gay, sparkling melodics of Offen
bach will be given. AVe have heard it
hinted that the proceeds of tlie enter
tainment would probably be devoted to
the relief of the Femandina sufferers.
If Columbus ever had ail institution
which was worthy of being sustained
it is the Choral Union, for it can be made
such as to become a source of frequent
unalloyed enjoyment. The Association
has some charming singers. The fault
with amateurs generally is they sing
too slow, and are averse to spirited liar-
monies ; yet, the latter are much more
effective. The Union has improved
greatly, and it will be evidenced in the
next concert.
Along tlie IVextern Railroad.
AA'e see it stated that the AVestern
Railroad Company of Alabama is build
ing wire fences, commencing at Alont-
gomerv, on each sideo! tlie track. They
are to be extended along the whole

way that stock can be kept off the track.
The plan is economical. So many six-
gallon-a-dav cows will not then be run
over.

tion the nomination of a Senator; be it,
therefore,
Resolved, That w e, the Democracy of
Aluscogee county, in mass meeting
assembled, representing tlie sentiments
of the great body of the people of this
county, and wishing to meet our Dem
ocratic brethren of Chattahoochee and
Alarion counties in a spirit of fra
ternal kindness, do hereby appoint the
following delegates, with power to ap
point their alternates, to represent
Muscogee county in the coining Sena

Nuckolls, A. J. Odom, A. A. Boyd, L.

THE INSTRUCTIONS UNDER WHICH DEL
EGATES GO.
Colonel M. H. Blandford offered tlie
following:
AA'liereas, Tlie Chairman of the Ex
ecutive Committee of tlie Democratic
Party of Aluscogee county lias called
tlie party together to take into consid
eration the action of a meeting recently
held in Cusseta, in the county of Chat
tahoochee, by certain citizens and Dem
ocrats of that county and the county of
Alarion ; and
Whereas, Our great respect for our
Democratic brethren demands that
wo should* give said matter our pro
found consideration, regarding as we do
tlie region of territory forming the 24tli
Senatorial District as embracing only
owe political division of this State, anil
in the selection of a candidate to repre
sent that district, we do not think it
proper to enquire as to tlie locality of
liis residence, or upon which side of a
county line or creek he may reside, but
rather to look alone to the qualification
of such a candidate; and
AA’liereas, AVe are unalterably op
posed to tlw “rotation system,” a sys
tem pregnant with evil to the best in
terest of the Democratic party and the
State; and
AVlicreas, The question of represent
ation of nominating conventions is an
important one, and should receive our
careful attention and consideration, and
the delegates to such conventions
should be selected on some principle
of equity and justice, and not on the
arbitrary rule which lias heretofore
prevailed in appointing so many dele
gates from each county composing the
district without regard to population or
Democratic voters; and because we
think, that, a fair rule would be for
each countv to appoint one delegate for
every hundred Democratic voters and
the fractional part thereof over fifty,
ensuring thereby representation to the
entire party in the convention, a safe
guide to determine the number of Dem
ocratic voters in each county would be
the vote east in tlie Presidential elec
tions, immediately proceeding the as
sembling of the convention, this means
we think, being the best that is availa
ble and the erffe which will nearest ap
proximate the truth; and
AA'liereas, That if we adopt this plan
of apportioning delegates among the
several counties composing this dis
trict, it will be easy to find the number
of delegates to which each county will
lie entitled, because the votes cast for
the Democratic candidate at the last
Presidential election were 1,828 for the
county of Aluscogee, 583 for Marion,
and 636 for Chattahoochee, under which
apportionment, by the above plan,
Aluscogee would be entitled to eighteen
delegates, Marion six, and Chattahoo
chee six, allowing a delegate for each
one hundred Democratic voters, anil
one for every fractional part thereof
over fifty, wliich pro rata of represen
tation would make a convention com
posed of thirty delegates; and,
AA’liereas, AVe think this plan a fair,
equal and just one, and founded on
principle and not on an unjust and
arbitrary rule; be it therefore
Resolved, By the Democratic party of
Aluscogee:
First, That we utterly condemn the
system of “rotation” that now prevails,
and henceforth will not be bound there
by; that we regard such system as dan
gerous to tlie best interest of the party,
and fraught with mischief to the State.
Second, That in the formation of a
Convention to nominate candidates, the
Democratic voters should alone be re
spected, and that we think a fair, equal
and just plan would be for each county
to be entitled to one delegate for every
hundred Democratic voters, anil the
fractional part thereof over fifty.
Third, That the attention and consid
eration of our Democratic brethren of
Alarion and Chattahoochee counties is
respectfully called to tlie foregoing by
tlie Convention to assemble on the 13th
inst. in Columbus.
The above was adopted unanimously.
NO NOMINATION FOR REPRESENTATIVES.
Colonel 13. A. Thornton offered tlie
following:
Resolved, By the Democracy of AIus-
eogee county, that the Republican party
of Georgia Having dissolved their State
organizations, and there being in effect
but one party in the State, that we deem
it inexpedient to make any nominations
for the House of Representatives, but
earnestly solicit the voters of this coun
ty to select the best men for the posi
tions unbiased by any party dictation.
Tlie above was adopted.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO BE INCREAS
ED BY ADDING TWO MEMBERS FROM
EACH BEAT.
Col. Blandford moved that the present
Executive Committee of the Democratic
party be continued.
Col. Thornton moved to amend by
the Chair appointing two more from
each town district to serve with the
committee. With this amendment the
whole was adopted.
The meeting then adjourned.

A SigniHennt Incident,
Among the speakers at the recent
“Church Congress” held in New York,
was the Rev. John Fulton, D. D., for
merly rector of the Episcopal Church
in this city, but more recently of AIo-
bile, Ala., (and now living in Wiscon
sin,) who closed his remarks with the
following significant incident:
“There rises to my mind in this con
nection an incident which shows that
even while going on tlie current of her
way the Church can fulfill a grand des
tiny in national affairs.
“My mind looks back to the Sunday
after Robert Lee s sword was gene
rously given back to him by Ulysses
Grant, liis conqueror; on that Sunday
morning, when tlie grass on tlie sol
diers’ graves had not rooted itself into
greenness, when hearts were bleed
ing and desolate, when tlie whole land
was in mourning, then came the
Church’s call for prayer, and at a
thousand altars, led by a thousand
priests of this Church, all our people in
the Southern land went upon their
knees and prayed fos the Commander-
in-C’hief of the armies which hail sub
dued them.
“All through the Southern land the
cry went out anil tlie thrill was felt—
the thrill of duty recognized and gladly
done, the thrill wliich moved these men,
coming from the battle field to prayers,
to own the kingdom of the Goil of battles
andj'ecognize the ilestny that His Provi
dence had drawn out from the smoke
of battle as the highest destinies God
could give to all this nation. Then, sir,
and there, under the impulse given by
our Church's recognition of the powers
that be, began that movement towards
the restoration of national unity which
makes my reverend brother from Vir-
ginia speak gladly and sincerely of the
star spangled banner. Thus it comes
to-day the watchword of the nation has
been taken from our book of Common
Prayer, so that all men’s hearts, when
they think of their country and that
which they hope for it in the future,
form their petitions in the language of
the Prayer Book, that ‘peace and hap
piness, truth and justice, religion and
piety, may be established among us for
all generations,’” (Applause.)
AVhen shall we cease to hear this stuff
and falsehood about Gen. Grant giving
back the sword to Gen. Lee. It was
never intended to be offered him, and
never was. AA'e have Gen. Lee’s own
word for this.
“Didn't Expert to Expend It that H aj.”
It was in one of the neighboring
courts. Judge Crawford was presiding.
An elderly gentleman, a respectable
farmer, was concerned in the ease. He
could not hear very well. The oppos
ing lawyer riled him and he spoke right
out in meeting, anil corrected some
statement. The Judge, in liis urbane
manner, remarked : “You must not in
terrupt counsel in the course of the ar
gument.” Now tlie hard-fisteil agricul
turalist did not catch the words nor
meaning, and supposed the J iiilge was
taking his side against the lawyer, anil
when the latter again asserted some
thing the “honest son of toil" shot in
his mouth again. Air. Clarke, enter a
fine of thirty dollars against Air. .”
The farmer heard this, he was uncon
scious of having done any harm, and
was utterly bewildered, shot up from
his seat and as suddenly sit down, eon-
eluding as he had made a mess of it
thus far, he would subside for the while
at least.
After court, lie interviewed the Judge
and explained matters, showing lie hail
utterly misapprehended the situation
and meant no offense, and winding up
the whole by stating, “I’ve got tin?
money with me, but I didn’t expect to
spend it that way.”
AATio wouldn't have relieved him after
that? Judge Crawford did.
A Sad I>eatli.
Air. Frank H. Harris, known to many
of our young men as a classmate at
Athens, and to a number of our readers
as engineer in charge of construction on
the North and South Road, lost his wife
on Friday last at Gonzalez, thirteen
miles north of Pensacola, where lie was
stationed in the roadway service of the
Pensacola Railroad. Airs. Harris was a
lovely anil attractive lady, and the sym
pathy of every mother will go out to
her and her bereaved husband and or
phan children when they think of her
death in her far away home. Tlie little
stranger which cost her life lived but a
few hours before its spirit winged its
flight, to lie followed so closely by its
devoted mother. Airs. Harris was

The Original C'olumbnx Minstrels.
At their entertainment last night, in
the City Light Guards armory, they
drew an audience of some two hundred
people, and it was a most enjoyable
festival. It would have been creditable
to professionals. AA e were really proud
of the boys. They created excellent mu
sic and lots of fun. For the number of
instruments and voices they effected a
good chorus. “There's a Letter in the
Candle” was well rendered by J.
O'Brien. “Gospel Engine,” by E. Bur-
rus, was eminently ludicrous. “Speak,
only Speak” was admirably sung by
Gussie Raiford, with a sweet full tenor
voice that was really delicious to iiear.
AI. O'Brien gave ns “Gathering up the
Shells from the Shore” in splendid
style, while the “Rock Ale, Aliss Julid,”
of AV. AA r alker, brought down the house.
“AA'hat is It?” by AA'alker, Burnis and
AI. O’Brien was full jolly.
The guitar solo of F. Dudley was very
pretty, and the banjo solo of M.
O’Brien, the instrument being about as
large as he is, had a ringing strain of
merriment. Both played well, too.
AA'e yet laugh at the representation of
“Truthful Jeemes,” acted by F. Dud
ley and E. Burrns, as “Old Gent,” and
“Truthful Jeems,” while the “Dutch
Store” by AI. O'Brien ('twashis father's
get-up) and company, was as laughable
a farce and as well performed as one
would desire to see.
“Our Boyhood Days” by J. O'Brien,
E. Burras, AA'. AA'alker, AI. O'Brien,
George Lary and M. Allen as “Air.
Squash,” “Timothy Squash,” “Lanky,”
“Shorty,” “Bell” anil “Pete” excited
roars of merriment. They did as well
as Simmons and Newcombe. Tlie
“Centennial AA'alk Around” closed a
most delightful performance. Thank
you, young masters, for our part. AVe
havn’t had as much real fun in a long
time. Admission was only 15 and 10c.,
but they made money.
They give a matinee AA'ednesday af

Saturday afternoon. That is holiday
time and the girls can put on their Sun
day best and look their prettiest, and
servants can come with the little ones.
AA’e can heartily advise all to attend,
for tlie boys furnish an exhibition
worth seeing and hearing.

The colored man gave an immense

Freight on wiskey, bacon, ike., from
Cincinnati, Ohio, to Live Oak, Florida,
is 57 cents per hundred pounds. The
route is via Alontgomery, Union
Springs and Eufaula, thence by boat to
Chattahoochee, then on J., P. <fc AI. R. R.
to Live Oak. The same freight via
Alontgomery and Union Springs to
Columbus is 85 cents. It does look like
Columbus catches it on all sides. Here
is freight shipped 200 to 300 miles be
yond her, and by two more transporta
tion companies, who have a pro rata of
tlie freights, yet at 28 cents per hundred
less. It appears to us that if freight
can be carried at 57 cents per hundred
to Live Oak, Florida, it certainly
could be brought to Columbus at
the same rate. If 85 cents is as cheap as
the roads can afford to haul to Colum
bus, they certainly must bo losing at 57
to Live Oak, and some measures should
be adopted to prevent these corporations
from killing one section of the country,
just because of a little spite among
themselves. As Columbus is always
the sufferer, we protest against such
unjust proceedings, and if tlie better
judgment of railroad corporations will
not stop them from such unfair dis
criminations, wo think it time for the
State to take hold of the matter, and
teach the managers a lesson. They ap
pear to have learned only one lesson
heretofore, and that is to secure good
salaries for themselves.

Bonny Doon Stork Farm.
AA’e visited lately this farm, one of i
our home institutions, situated about j
one and a half miles from Columbus,
on the Talbotton road. Air. Bruce has,
in the last two years, brought this farm j,
up to a state of high cultivation, and it
is now one of the most desirable places
around our growing city. Realizing
the large annual outlay paid to the
AA'est for bacon, Air. Bruce determined
to aid the farmers against this unneces
sary expense, and imported some fine
Berkshire hogs from the most noted
bleeders in England. His pens and
pastures are the most conveniently ar
ranged of any we have ever seen, and
for his Berkshircs he has devoted four
acres, admirably fenced oft’, for tlie pur
poses of a breeder. Two force-pumps
convey water through pipes to the dif
ferent pastures and pens. Tlie pig
pens are built with a sleeping apart
ment and feeding platform combined,
graded to a gutter, which leads to the
manure shed, a pit sloping to five feet
deep and lined with Portland cement.
In this pit lie collected last year a large
quantity of liquid manure, which, ap
plied to liis various crops, greatly en
hanced their value, and gave Bonny
Doon an aspect of luxurious growth it
never presented before. On this farm
the stock are well fed, Air. Bruce say
ing that “God never created an animal
that he did not mean to have at least
two square meals a day,” and we be
lieve with him that in obedience to this
law lies tlie greatest profit and success
in stock-raising.
Another feature of this thrifty farm
which stands out prominently on ap
proaching Bonny Doon, is a large barn
of octagon shape, in which is stored
forty to fifty tons of pea and other hay
and fodder. Air. Bruce says that with
out this convenience, lately construct
ed, lie could not have saved his pea-hav
and other crops in the same fine condi
tion they now present. He has an
abundance to feed his stock, as well as
a large surplus for sale.
Our readers will notice his advertise
ment of St. Domingo sweet potatoes for
sale. This variety attains a marvellous
size, is very productive, and is equally
adapted for the table and for stock feed-
EASB AND COMFORT!
Air. Bruce is progressive, and believes
tlie capacity of our soil and climate is
not yet fully known. Last year lie in
troduced the new forage plant, “Prick
ly Comfrey,” a native of tlie Caucasus
Mountains, in Russia, than which no
plant produces a larger amount of green
food. It matures tlie third year, giv
ing the first year fifty tons to the acre,
the second year eighty tons, and the
third year one hundred tons of green
fodder, eaten greedily by every kind of
stock. It is cultivated from root cut
tings, bedded out like the sweet potato.
AVhen it attains a height of four to six
inches it is transplanted to its perma
nent location, where tlie cultivation it
requires is a few hoeings until it reach
es maturity, and being a large plant,
and necessarily a heavy feeder, mulch
ing with coarse manure every fal l is
requisite, and it will well repay tlie
small labor and expense. It will prove
a valuable acquisition to every farmer;
can be grown oil dry upland as well as
on bottom lands, and will branch out
in a luxuriance of green leaves, when
everything else is burned up during the
long summer droughts.
AA’e note the capture of premiums
for Berkshire hogs at the Thomasville
Fair, by Air. Bruce.
A\ r e wish success to Bonny Doon
Stock Farm and to all similar institu
tions, which mark a new era in our
Southern agriculture.

A drunken negro went into the shoe

and made himself very obnoxious by
his impudence and insulting talk. Air
Hines ordered him to leave the store,
which he did after considerable parley
ing. He stopped just outside and com
menced to berate Air. H. in not very
choice language. He was ordered oft
again, but lie refused to go, and gave
forth some more of his insolence, when
Air. H. struck him over the head with
a peg scraper. This brought the man
and brother to his senses, and with the
aid of a policeman he made his way
down the street. A mean negro out

hard to endure, and we like to see them
“fetched up” sometimes a la Hines.
IVlint a Change!
AA'e allude to the new advertisement
of Gordon it Cargill. It is really inter
esting to read it. People can’t tell
where to go to get dry goods to suit
them unless they see an advertisement
explaining prices and some specialties.
Don’t trade with a dry goods man who
don’t advertise, because they haven’t
much to sell, and of course it is unnec
essary to “ventillate.” Now, when
you see men using printer’s ink like
Gordon & Cargill, you may know that
they are prospering and have every
thing in the dry goods line that the
trade of this section calls for. It means
that they have an immense stock and
are anxious to dispose of it at low fig
ures.

It seems inevitable, and these unfor

and help their fellow-men at the same
time, they fell—on their dry goods.
They concluded that “small profits and
quick sales” was the thing to carry out
their^object, and a considerable fall
wouldn't bruise much. Read their new

see how these “bruises” are healed.

A Week of Prayer. .
In accordance with the custom of
previous years, the Twenty-second
Convention of the Associations of tlie
United States and the Dominion of Can
ada; held in Louisville, Kv., June 6-10,
1S77.
“Resolved, (1) That all our Associa
tions are earnestly urged to continue
the use second Lord’s Day in Novem
ber of each year as a day of thanks
giving to God for the gracious aid of
His Holy Spirit in our efforts to serve
Him; and of earnest supplication for
His continued blessing upon our own
and kindred organizations throughout
the Kingdom of Christ, among young
men.
(2) That all tlie Associations be re-
jucsted to aid the International Com
mittee in the work at large by a thank
offering upon the Day of Prayer. Each
Association, however small, can make
a contribution that may be blessed of
God, to the accomplishment of great
and lasting good.”
The above resolutions received the
hearty and unanimous support of the
Georgia delegation at the Louisville
Convention, and now in behalf of the
State Executive Committee, I most
earnestly ask the universal observance
of recommendations by the Young
Men’s Christian Association, of our
State. Let the following be the topics:
November 12, Alonday—Importunity
in Prayer—Luke xi: 5-10; Luke xviii:
1-18.
November 13, Tuesday — Parental
Anxiety.—II Sam. xviii: 5, 24-33; John
iv: 46-53; Jobi: 1-5.
November 14, Wednesday— Raising
of the Widow’s Son.—Luke vii: 11-16.
November 15, Thursday—Christ, tlie
Victorious Leader.—Rom. viii: 35-39;
I Cor. xv: 55-58.
November 16, Friday — The Lost
Sheep. Luke xv: 3-7; Eze. xxxiv 11-12.
Arrange for a meeting of Christian
workers, at 3 o’clock p. in., Sunday,
November 11, to pray together, and to
plan for personal work during the
week, and at 5 p. m. same day, have a
meeting for men exclusively.
Pastors throughout the State, who
are in sympathy with the Young Men’s
Christian Association work, are most
respectfully requested to preach a ser
mon, morning or night, as they may
think best, to young men.
Our State lias received valuable aid
from the international committee,
through the labors of Hall, Cree anil
Taggart, and should make a liberal con
tribution, that the work may be con
tinued the coming winter and spring.

The great virtue of this medicine is
that it ripens the matter and throws it

and thus effects a cure.
Schenck’s Sea Weed Toxic, for the

Cure of Liver Complaint, ifco.
These pills are alterative, and pro
duce a healthy action of the Liver with
out the least danger, as they are free
from calomel, and yet more efficacious
in restoring a healthy action of the
liver.
These remedies are a certain cure for
Consumption, as the Pulmonic Syrup
ripens tlie matter and purifies the
blood. The AIandrake Pills act upon
the liver, create a healthy bile, and re
move all diseases of the liver, often a
cause of Consumption. Tlie Sea Weed
Tonic gives tone and strength to the
stomach, makes a digestion, and ena
hies the organs to form good blood;
and thus creates a healthy circulation
of healthy blood. Tlie combined action
of these medicines, as thus explained,
will cure every case of Consumption, if
taken in time,'and the use of the medi
cine persevered in.

Foi'Ketline Name*.
How common it is to forget a name.
AA'e don’t mean your own name, al
though that is sometimes done, but to
forget another man’s anil this not
withstanding the fact that you are
well acquainted with him. A person
hesitates in introducing folks with
whom he is familiar, because he can
not think of their names, sometimes
it is to his own mortification and to
theirs for it is hardly agreeable to
have one with -whom you are daily
brought in contact obliged to say,
when the forms of introduction re
quire it, “I beg your pardon, sir, but
your name has escaped me.” You
feel that you have been trifled with,
and that the man has been pretend
ing to know you when he did not.
One great cause for this forgetfulness
of names lies in our senseless system
of introductions. The true idea upon
which introduction should be based
is the natural desire of the parties in
troduced to become acquainted with
each other. Brown may want to
know Smith, but if Smith prefers not
to know Brown, it is a species of im
position for theirmutual acquaintance,
Jones to bring them together. Yet
this is continually being done in our
every-day life, and it is no wonder
that Smith does not remember
Brown’s name afterward—for he
takes no pains to remember it.
How often does an incident like the
following occur: Jones and Smith are
walking together on tlie street. They
meet a party among which is Brown,
with whom Jones exchanges a few
words on business merely. Thereupon
Brown feels called upon to introduce
Jones to his half dozen companions,
five of whom he has just ‘been intro
duced to himself, anil consequently
has asked them their names, and
when Jones is irresistibly impelled to
introduce Smith to the whole party,
getting half tlieir names wrong anil
muttering unintelligibly over the
rest. A day or two afterwards, Jones,
who possesses prominence or noto
riety, that renders him a mark to be
remembered, is approached by a
stranger and smiles blandly as he ex
tends his hand and says, “Mr. Jones,
how do you do?” Jones stares a lit
tle, looks confused and then makes a
lame attempt to appear to know him,
although he lias not the slightest rec
ollection of ever seeing him before.
The man sees he is not recognized
and feels hurt. “You don’t rec
collect me, I see?” “Oh, yes, I do,”
says Jones, telling a wretched lie, “T
know you face well enough, hut I
can’t quite call your name. Fact is,
I am one of the worst hands in the
world to recollect names.” Then
Jones learns the cordial fellow’s name
and is reminded that their mutual
friend Brown introduced them on the
occasion above alluded to, when they
go their ways—the cordial fellow
thinking Jones is putting on airs, anil
Jones believes he is a bore.
People go through the farce of in
troduction so often they conic to at
tach very little importance to it, and
you see men pass each other on the
sidewalk without any recognition,
who ten minutes before’were shaking
hands with each other in the most
cordial manner, in compliance with
the popular demand that men acci
dentally grouped together for a min
ute or two must all he introduced.
No wonder, then, that men forget
names! They forget them because
they do not care to remember them,
and this careless indifference assumes
the form of a habit at length.
