Last night the military hail a good
crowd and were quite successful. The
tickets to the gift enterprise were nearly
all disposed of. To-night the drawing
is likely to take place as all the tickets
will, no doubt, besold, if not, the draw
ing will come oft’ Friday night.
The two beautiful dolls will bo dis
posed of to-night, as the chances are
nearly all taken.
At 9:30 p. m. there will be a prize drill
by a squad of ten men from each com
pany. This will be an interesting fea
ture.
To-night will be the big time for the
lunch room, as the contributions con
sist of all tlimdelieacies of the season.
Meals are furnished very cheaply. The
music to-night will be fine. Several
amateurs have promised to be present*
The various churches have boon hav
ing festivals this week and have drawn
away from the military, but this eve
ning there will be nothing going on
elsewhere, and w© expect to soo a jam
at the armory.
Mr. L. Btihler contributed a beautiful
pipe valued at $15. Mr. Linck sent in
a dozen bottles riLlager. The Eagle A
Phonix gave a pair of cotton blankets.
Mr. Hochstrasscr a box of oranges.
Others made donations but we were
unable to got thoir names, everybody
being so very much engaged that they
did’nt have even a few minutes to de
vote to a reporter.
There has been but little interest tak
en in the voting. We learn that to
night. Efforts will be directed that way
and we'll see who is the best hand on
elections. Do not fail to attend. -

The Nor I It nnri Month RoU.
It is the current rumor on the street,
and coming from the source it does
must be entitled to credit, that some
gentlemen connected with the Alabama
and ^Chattanooga Railroad Company
have relieved Major Moses of his pur-,
chase of the North and South Road for
the Columbus and Atlanta Railroad
Company. It is said they have bought
as an investment and thoir idea is to
make the extension required to make
the lino valuable with the ultimate aim
of finishing it to Chattanooga. If all
we hear be true the future of Columbus
promises magnificently. We will hoou
be relieved of the oppressive exactions
of the Central Railroad and be a com
peting point. Tliis done, an increased
impetus will be given to our manufac
turing interests. In respect of these
Columbus is by far the chief city in the
South.
The New Ultrrary A»»ocl»llon.
A society of young ladios and gentle
men ot our city is doing great credit to
its name, in that it is making rapid
progress.' Its objects are the promo
tion of social feeling and mental cul
ture. The society meets once a week,
and the proceedings aro highly enter
taining and interesting. The officers
are : Emile Newman President, Max
Wolfson Vice President and J. Zacha-
rlas Secretary.
At present, the organization will
meet at private residences, but ere
long club rooms will bo secured.
Married.
Yesterday afternoon, at the residence
of the bride's father, Dr. J. J. Mason,
of this city, Dr. Walton Drake, of Au
burn, Alabama, and Miss Emma R.
Mason. Rev. A. B. Campbell, pastor
of the First Baptist church of this city,

Ail were agreeably surprised at the
fairness of the day, as the clouds the
uight before indicated rain, but the
weather could not have been more
pleasant. The crossings were very
muddy, however,which rendered walk
ing very disagreeable. Broad street
was crowded all day with people, pur
chasing presents, etc. We are told that
there were many free egg-nogs to be hAd,
which was the cause of sojnuch “sick
ness” in the latter portion of the day.
The day, on the whole, passed off very
quietly, and excepting some minor
“skirmishes” there were no tights at
oil.
Services were held at the Episcopal
and Catholic churces, and were very
well attended. The music at th© for
mer was very beautiful.
CHRISTMAS TREES.
Broad Street Methodist Sunday-
school’s Christmas tree was a grand
success. Many childrens’ hearts were
gladdened by the presents given them,
and many teachers made happy by be
ing able to cause a ray of sunshine to
(toss thoir fuees and make their hearts
glad with joy. The recitations were
very appropriate.
ST. PAUL SUNDAY-SCHOOL
children were delighted with their’s,
which was very handsome. There was
a large crowd present, who seemed to
enjoy the affair as much as any of the
children. The singing was excellent,
and the evening passed off very ploas-
Antly to all.
8t. Luke children were out in large
numbers at their Christinas festivities,
which wore very interesting. The pro
gramme was designed to illustrate the
darkness prevailing at the time of the
birth of Christ, and the light immedi
ately following as indicated by the
star seen by the wise men journeying
from the East. The exercises consisted
of beautiful songs by the school and
appropriate recitations by the follow
ing classes: Mr. Binford's, Mr. W. H.
Brannon’s and Mrs. Frazier’s, The
recitations by the following boys and
girls of the school were very creditably
rendered: Gus Raiford (splendidly,
Master Gus), Thos. Branch, Arminius
Frazier, Alice Dudley, Carlie Led-
siuger, Carrie Bradford.
Before the distribution of the pres
ents the following little giriA, in fairy
dress, sang “Tho Christmas Bells are
ringing” : Carrie Johnson, Eva Moore,
Liela Daniel, Gussie Ligon, Annie
Hinde, Mamie Carter, Annie Cargiil,
Grade Jackson, Minnie Woolridge and
Maggie Williams. The scene was an
imposing one and the singing delight
fully sweet.
During the evening a handsome silver-
headed cane was presented to Mr. J. A.
Bradford, by Mr. E. G. Raiford, in be
half o{ the Stewards. Other minor
presents wore given to teachers and
friends by the scholars.
The affair on the whole was a pleasant
one and may we live to witness many
more.
TRINITY SUNDAY SCHOOL,
in Browneville, had a magnificent af
fair in the shape of a Christmas tree.
There were also recitations, which were
very interesting.
At night bon-ilres were to be seen in
various portions of tho city, at many of
which w ere clustered tho pretty girls
with gallant beaux, who wore ever
ready to laugh at their cries of fear as
some largo cracker exploded uear
them.
Well, Christmas is over, and we are
heartily glad of it,
For the Enquirer-Sun.}
A HOLIDAY DITMOAPICT.
BY MATTO’B,
’Twas the day after Christmas—and all
thro’ the house.
The toys were much scattered—a regular
chouse,
The old folks had headaches, the young
ones with pain,
Were saying they’d never eat pound-cake
again;
The housemaid was scolding of things dis
arranged,
And vowing that she would soon go de
ranged.
There was cake on the sofa—nutshells on
the floor.
The carpets were dirty—the curtains all
tore,
The new doll was broken—one arm out of
Its socket,
And the family portrait was spoiled by a
rocket.
The piano looked tired—Its polish so flne,
Was scratched o’er by glasses and stained
up with wine,
The mirror before which the belle often
lingers,
Was streaked nil o cr as If with sticky
fingers,
NAali’s ark was upset and a copy of Byron
Held in—as a book mark—a child’s toy Iron.
The furniture felt ns tlio it Just had been
varnished
Whiten “Life of Beecher,” In gilt, was all
tarnished,
The clock needed winding, ns did also some
Zephyr
Which lay on the floor as if “that’s what
twas leff for!”
The dining room looked as tho’ there’d been
a party,
And all wlm attended were healthy and
hearty,
The bones of a turkey looked ghastly and
white,
And the punch bowl ns tho’ It had been In a
fight.
The mun o' the house looked ns dull as a
log,
And said ns he saw where they’d spilt some
egg-nog,
If I live till next Christmas—which my head
seems to doubt,
And this court knows itself, there’ll be no
“blow-out.”
I’ll save all the money the doctors don’t get,
And I’ll spend it a little different—you bet!
Why with what has been wasted and
ruined Just here,
A poor ramUy would be content with for a
year.
Pshaw: I feel like I’d like to get Into a pas
sion—
Just to think of me tondying because ’tls
fush ion.
Entertaining—receiving—mn.v-be good peo-
ple,
Whom I don’t see as oRen ns I do the church
steeple.
Can’t I keep their friendship without
throwing away
The money that may-be I’ll be needing
some day ?
I’ll try the experiment and at the end of
the year,
Whether I make or I loose, to my mind It
is clear,
Tho’ it may not be “fashion,” and some call
you “a boor,”
It’s best when you do give to give to the
poor.
“OLD TIMER AND OLD MONCHR.*’
TO MATT O’B—
The dear “old times,” that have long passed
by,
How off we recall them with a tear or a sigh
And crave once more for Joys—long fled
And dear ones loved—now silent and dead.
The songs we have sung, In the Auld Lang
Melodies sweet, ah the poor henrt doth pine
To hoar them again ns In that bright day;
But lips that have sung them are far away
Or else—here on earth, they will sing them
no more,
They are singing sweet strains on Eternity’s
shore.

To Be (Congratulated.
Despite of the attractions of artillery
punch, egg nog, and other cheer, Col
u minis lias passed through the
Christmas time without a single dis
turbance of moment. Of course, there
were the usual quantity of intoxica
tions of the lighter kind, but the noisy
and tumultuous variteies were want
ing. Our Muyor had sufllcient men
on duty to nip every disorder in tho
bud, and provont the assembling of
rowds on the corners. The orders
were, to move on, and they moved.
PerMiiaU.
Messrs. Dol Rutherford and W. S.
Holstead, with tho Eagle and Phenix
Factory, have returned from their re
spoctivo territories, where they have
been selling goods for their company.
Mr. John B. Gorman, lately of “Yew-
rope,” now of that bright, newsy paper
in Talbotton—the Register—paid us a
pleasant visit last night, llo is among
the most genial of pleasant compan
ions, and tl*© shadows disappear bofore
Ills jolly laugh. Friend John, you art*
ever as welcome as the flowers in May

Oscar Caruthers, colored, waltzed up
and “kissed the bride” and paid his
97.60 for interfering with polico offi-
•ors.
Warren Mullins and George Pryor
wore lined 97.50 each for fighting.
Mattie Rowell for using bad English,
or in other words, for not articulating
as she should, was fined 92.50.
John and Martha Upshaw, colored,
wore present at the ball with beaming
countenances. They had been grind
ing that same old organ without li
•ense. They paid for the license and
went homo to continue tho business.
John said, when he was ordered to
balance to the center,” “all right
Mos Frank, I am guilty of anything
you say” and ho was as drunk as a
Idled owl.”
Win. Hayes plead guilty to disorder

Tuck Porter, colored, cut her hus
band with an unknown weapon, in a lit
of drunkenness and jealousy, and was
lined #5.
Ellie Johnson was fined 95 for fight
ing a negro.
Jim Lee, colored, was fined 95 For
using obscene language.
few were dismissed and several
failed to make their appearance. The
Mayor will get a chance at some of ’em
this morning.
In every case where a fine is*imposed
the subject has to pay the fine or go on

is put down forthwith whenever it can

THE MOST ECONOMICAL ART!
OLE Is that which makes the other
components go the furthest, while less
of ttself is required. ThU is the ease
with Dooley's Yeast I’owohr in its
relation to milk, eggs and shortening.
The cake, bread or paatry emerges
from the oven a triumph of delicate
sweetnees, and there is a reduction on
the grocer's bill.

All these stand before ifc—surprised and

The Alligator Hsu...
lie was one of the Christmas serenn-
dors who compllmonted this oftlee
Monday night. He played well and lie
played with much skill and earnest
ness. In fact (he was the hornlst), lie
blew until he grew red in the face, but
alas ! no sound was heard, fie felt
very much dissatisfied with liis horn,
and carried it back to La.vileld's to ex
change for another. He informed tho
latter of his trouble and liegan to blow
again to show him how lie had been
humbugged, when tlio vender discov
ered that tho musician had liis little
Alligator in liis mouth. Of course it
wouldn't play. He was very much
surprised, for he thought that his little
crocodile was in his pocket instead of
liis horn.

Were out yesterday parading Rroad
street with ladles' hats on. They never
felt I letter in their lives, we can state
positively. They were a jolly pair and
were having lots of fUn, and had a tight

A CM.plisMatarz Im Nag

Will be found to possess those qualities
necessary to th- total eradication of all
bllloua attacks, prompt to start the se
cretions of the liver, and give a healthy
tone to the entire system. Indeed, it
is no ordinary discovery in medical
science to have Invented a remedy for
these stubborn complaints, which de
velop all the reaulta produced by a
heretofore free use of calomel, a min
eral justly dreaded by mankind, and
acknowledged to be destructive in the
extreme to the human system. That
the properties of certrln vegetables
comprise all the virtnes of calomel
without its injurious tendencies, is now
an admitted /act, rendered indisputa
ble by scientific researches; and those
who use the Mandrake PiUs will be
fully satisfied that the best medicines
are those provided by nature in the
common herbs and roota of the iields.
These Pills open the bowels and cor
rect all bilious derangements without
salivation or any ot" the injurious
effects of calomel or other poisons. The
secretion of bile is promoted by these
Pills, as will lie seen by the altered
color of the stools, and disappearing of
the sallow complexion and cleansing of
the tongue.
Ample directions for use accompany
each box of pills. Prepared only by
J. H. Schenck & Son, at their principal

Most of the bar-rooms in the city “set
'em up” to egg-nog, etc., on Christmas
day, hut Linck, at the Merchants' Ex
change, did liis “little best” on artillery
punch," which was delicious. Linck
never does anything by halves, and the
boys would not object to a Christmas
every week. One can number that
punch among the charming things that
are as pleasant to the soul as the mem
ories of joys that are past—sweet but
mournful to the soul.
Buhler had a very fine lunch, but his
specialty was nog, which all the boys
said couldn’t bo surpassed.
Dave was not surpassed by any. His
egg-nog was as good and abundant as
one could desire. Ills lunch was very
fine and everybody who partook said
that they never eat better.
Clements “ran heavy’’ on egg-nog.
He must have given out two or three
barrels.

God bless thee!
>In.v thy friends prove true—
Life bring its richest Joys to you;
May the path thro' which fntfr loads thy feet
Ever bloom with flowers sweet,
And tlie blue sky that spnnB thy life
Never bo filled with clouds of strife.
From sorrow may thy heart bo free,
Thy soul be full of melody.
Surrounded by nil those you love,
May eartli seem like tlio heaven above;
And realizing human bliss,
May fortune greet thee with a kiss.
And if, perchance, my wish be vain—
Instead of Joy your lot be pain,
Then may the light which guides our way
Dispel for you tile gloom away.
Tlio’ filled wttli gall tlie bitter cup,
May your soul witii faith be lifted up,
And then, when age shall come, some day,
And youth, dreum tike, will pass away,
When time shall touch your now dark hair,
leaving his stiver signet there;
When death shat! break tlie golden bow]
And heavenward shall sour Ilie soul.
May God's angels greet thee—to 111b pres
ence lead,
Tlion rarest of men, a friend Indeed.

The largest stock of Gold and Silver
Watches in this city, at
scp30 3m Wittich * Kinski,'s,
Mlt« Parlor Concert.
It was given last night at the resi
dence of Dr. N. J. Bussey, of this city,
under the auspices of the Baptist
church. A large number attended to
witness tlie most admirable presenta
tion of a very appropriate and interest
ing programme, which we published in
a previous issue. It was, indeed, a
success—a most pleasant occasion.
Everybody seemed delighted. Admis
sion was twenty-five cents, and about
fifty dollars were realized from that and
the sale of refreshments of various
kinds.
On yesterday morning about4 o’clock
the alarm bell was sounded, which
roused some from their beds. The fire
was found to lie in a vacant slianty in
the Sixth Ward and there being no cis
terns in that portion of the city the en
gines did not go. The extinguisher
went, however, but the building was
nearly consumed, when they arrived,
hence it was no work.
