George B. Whiteside, the efficient and affable secretary and treasurer of the institution. The Enquirbr-Sun found him with a stack of letters piled before him, but be Is never too busy to give Information, and after “passing the com pliments ofthe season,” remarked: “Captain, the Enquirer-Sun wants to let the people know what you are doing at the iron works ?” “For my part of it,” said ho, “I’m answering letters. Take n peep at that pile and you’ll find correspondence in regard to various things, from building a steamboat down to a plow stock.” “Do you build steam Ik iats “Ob. yes. We build steamboats and manufac ture steam engines, saw mills, mill and gin gear ing. syrup kettles, cane mills, pumps, pulleys, hollow ware, shafting hangers, iron screw cotton presses, calender rolls, plows, plow stocks, and almost any variety of agricultural implements.” “There must be several departments ?” “We have ten ora dozen diiferentdepartments. Let’s see,’’ counting on his fingers, “there is the machine shop, blacksmith shop, boiler shop, pat tern shop, foundry shop. Southern plow company si op.” “Any more ‘■hops?” “No; but we have a lumber yard and a planing mill. In addition to the things mentioned, we deal in circular saw s, water, gas and steam pipe fittings, cotton gins, inspirators, corn mills, sa.-h, ! doors, blinds, lime, and many other things.” “What is the amount of raw material eoiisum- other alderman who said that he saw no reason in the world why the cows should run at large in the streets, while there were many reasons why they should not do so. Crossing the street on the way to the office we met another alderman and asked him if he had I heurd anything about introducing a cow ordi nance. “Yes." said he. “and it ought to be done and passed. I am in favor of it, and from what I car. j learn there are enough of theu Idermen inclined ! to the same way of thinking to pass the or dinance. 1 shall certainly vote for it and use my influence in that direction.*’ There is no doubt that a resolution to that effect wili be introduced, and from conversations held with different aldermen, we have no doubt ofthe result. We have for some time thought that the cows should be taken from the streets. The damage done by prowling cows amounts to more than enough to keep them up and feed them, to say nothing of the danger and difficul ties to which ladies and children are subjected. THK COST OF THE COURT. Row Mach Money it Takes to Carry on the Superior Court One Meek—If hat the (omit) in the I Way of the Mount of the Prisoner*. i The term of Muscogee superior court is vir- j tually at an end. Only the grand jury was in | session yesterday, and it took a recess until to- I morrow morning, when the general presentments | will lx- read and an adjournment taken. Judge i Branham, of Rome, who presided during the week, left for home yesterday morning. The I members ofthe bar ami the jurors express them- i selves as highly pleased with Judge Branham. He presides with becoming dignity and ability. | and dispatches business with the tact of a skilled 1 jurist. I While on the subject of the court, it will in doul t be of interest to our readers to know what one week ofthe superior court costs the county. During the past week, considerable business was I transacted, and besides several important civil cases that were disposed of, the jail was relieved : of nineteen of its twenty-two prisoners who were awaiting trial. Of these nine were sent to tin- penitentiary, six u> the chaingang, one fined, one nol prossed, and two released under bond. There were eight pleas of guilty, and eight trials by jury. The grand jury returned indictments. The expenses of the court for the week were as follows: Grand jurors Traverse and tales jurors.. Five bailiffs Sheriff Clerk Incidental ..$19“ 00 ; .. 273 00 : .. 52 6c .. 46 00 j .. £5 00 ' . 5 00 ‘Wi about one thousand tons of pig iron five hundred tons of steel annually, i stock about five hundred thousand a big in skilled seen anvthim Total $592 50 The sheriff gets §6 a day for his attendance upon court and $15 for summoning the juries. The clerk gets $3 a day for attending court, and some additional fees that amounted during the week to $7. Of course, these figures do not in clude the costs received bv these officers. The salary ofthe judge is paid by the state, while the solicit* u-ireneral gets his compensation fro in A** Mated above, nineteen jad cases v,ere dis posed <>f timing the week. Had the short tei.t. no* been held and these pri-one abovei !«• <•.- main in jail until the November term. :t v-<. i.!■. have cost the county $3"7.sc to have fed them, i is estimated .hat it * its ( j cent-* a dav to fe« ! - ♦ he vicinity were attracted to th* building by the i shots. A search was made in the back yard for the negro, but he was net to be found. Several ' articles of clothing, however, were picked up which the thief dropped in his flight. The negro was undoubtedly in the room for the purpose of stealing clothing, but was surprised by the en- : trance of Mr. Hewell. LOCAL LACONICS. I -Another heavy rain fell last night.

Of course everybody believed the genial show man, and as the agent of the Mutual Life, of New York, has a touch of the same disease, he expects to have due credit for his statement to the same effect, and also for his assertion which in view of recent facts seems now needful, viz: The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York is the oldest, largest, strongest, safest, cheapest, best company in the country. It has paid to policy holders: In dividends over $ 71,000,000 In surrendered values “ 6-5,000,000 In payment of death claims “ 93,500,000 d Sji U. Total amount returned “ $230,000,000 And it now holds for the security of its policy holders over $108,875,000. It has no stockholders to claim a part ofthe profits. As compared with all other companies its ratio of expense is smaller, its percentage of dividends is greater, its average of surplus is greater, its amount of assets is great er, its income is greater, its policy is the most simple and liberal, it has no restrictions upon travel, residence or occupation. Where else in the world is a company with such a record? There is nothing like it in England or America. It has paid its many thousands here in Colum bus, and will continue to do so, thus providing a legacy and not a law suit. During the past 20 years the undersigned has had not a day’s delay in payment of claims, and still receives proposals and issues policies on every desirable plan. D. F.

It was a considerable undertaking when the St. Paul congregation determined to make the radi cal changes in their church building which they recently did. It lias now one ofthe handsomest and cosiest interiors in the city. The ladies have undertaken to pay for these improvements which please the eye, give comfort to the congregation and reflect credit upon the pastor and his people. Perhaps no more enjoyable and efficacious way could have been suggested than the beautiful operetta which will be given next Thursday night at the opera house. Careful preparations have been made to produce the “ Fairy Grotto” on this occasion. It is a four act operetta by t>trat- ton and abounds in striking tableaux, catching music and graceful movements of happy children. The* dear little ones to the number of thirty or more will fill the role of enchanting fairies, and with the scenery being specially pre pared for it will make a scene of loveliness rarely equalled in any spectikculur entertainment. Added to these will In? many of the best adult voices in the city. In truth, the affair will bristle with good music, huauty and mirth.

Mj opinir. i« that we have passe<l what has come to be a chronic expression that is the days of depression in business. There is a hopeful outlook and one of the gratifying features of it is that the people of Columbus are appreciating the fact. It does not take a close observer to see that the people are m better spirits and are more closely identified with anything that enhances the interest and prosperity of the city than they have been in a long time.” “Are people generally feeling in a better humor altout business?” “The only means I have of knowing is what you newspaper folks say. and my order book. In j watching the order book closely it gives a very j fair idea of the condition of the public pulse. Taking this as authority i would answer your question in the affirmative. Orders are received j liberally now. while some months back the pages I in the book did not fill up near so fast. We send I our Roods into a dozen states, some of them very t far west and I find there is a better feeling I among the people. This is also indi cated in the correspondence with the | business men with whom we deal. It is very often the case that after letting their wants be I made known they indulge in remarks about the ! general business situation and prospects. The I t(\no of all these letters is of a brighter character and I feel warranted in saying that business is I l>etter elsewhere as well its here.” “You have no objection to the Enouirkr-Si'n using these facts?” | “None in the world.” said Captain Whiteside, ■ “so you do not use my name, as there is hardly j any need of doing that.” “Good-bye, captain.” “Good evening, sir: come nga ; n.’’ TO TACKLE TIIK COWS AGAIN. All Vhlcrman Kays a Cow Ordinance Will be Intro duced The Prospects of Its Passing. An Enquiukr-Scn re{x»rter saw two ofthe al dermen ofthe city engaged in earnest conversa tion yesterday. On approaching near them, one remarked: “You are the very man we want to see. It is a little ahead of time, but you may state it as a fact that an ordinance will be introduced at the next meeting of the city council which will pro hibit cows from running at large in the streets.” “Do you think it will Ik* poshed this time?” “lam confident of it,” replied the alderman. “It was only for the want of proper attention that it failed when such a resolution was introduced last winter. I know of seven aldermen who have expressed themselves as favorable to such an ordinance and I am confident that it will receive at least a two-thirds vote of council.” “What is the argument for keeping up the cows?” “There is hardly any argument needed to show that the cows should be taken from the streets. Only one day during the jmst week a little child came very near being killed by a cuw. If such a serious consequence had re sulted from the cow’s nttaok upon the child, uitv council would have felt that they had too long delayed an important matter. It is fre quently that children are hurt and ladies and children badly frightened by these cows and 1 for KtlHA A *)■ *• d "t? ti**’ Dinner "The lth day of June •ain tYnm the field i.~ it •itizens ycsteidav.

Ware brought into this office yester day u small sprig taken froni a young pine bush. ! On it were about a dozen silk cocoons securely | fastened to the pine straws, and is the work of ! silk worms raised by Mrs. Ware on their place t near this city. She has now about twenty thousand cocoons, and ha3 been raising the silk worm on a small scale for a numlier of years, j They haw* ul>out one thousand mulberry trees . upon which the silk worm is fed until it begins i the construction of the cocoon. It requires care j and great pains to successfully conduct silk cul- • ture, but there is no reason why .t should no: be j made a profitable industry. Probably but few people of the present gene ra tion know that silk culture was one of the prin cipal industries in the early settlement of Geor gia. In 1735. Owen Caroline, of England, upon j the king’s birthday, appeared in a full robe of 1 j Georgia-made silk, and it was declared to be os ! ' fine as any Italian silk. The Saitz- ; | burgers, who settled old Ebenezer. were j I the principal cultivators and in 1766 the produc tion of silk reached its acme in Georgia, when i 1 nearly twenty thousand pounds of cocoons were ! delivered at Savannah. After the inception of | the revolution the industry begun to decline, and i ) has never since been revived to any notable de gree. SHOOTING AT A THIEF.
