Gone to ller Reward.
A little more than two years ago it afforded us
the highest pleasure to record the marriage of
Prof. J. Harsis Chappell and Miss Carrie M.
Browne, of Madison. We thought then that two
devoted hearts were never more happily mated
and that a nobler-hearted man had never linked
his destiny with a more pure and lovable woman.
In common with their many friends, we wished
! them a long, happy and prosperous life.
| But alas for human hopes! “Man proposes
j and God disposes;’’
| On the 13th inst., at her native place in Madi
son, the young life of Mrs. Chappell went out.
J The hectic flush upon her cheek gave the sad
j warning weeks before she was called to go home,
but her affliction was borne with that Christian
fortitude which had been instilled into her pure
I mind almost from infancy. In her death one of
j the shining lights of the Baptist church has been
I extinguished.
| Mrs. Chapped was the daughter of Rev. Geo.
| Y. BJowne, one of the leading Baptist ministers
and one of the most prominent educators in this
state. He was for many years president of the
female college at Madison. Mrs. Chappell was
born at Madison in January, 1857. She was a
most lovely and beautiftil girl, and was a general
favorite in the town. On the 26th of December,
1883, she plighted her troth to Prof. J. Harris
Chappell, of this city, and the vows made “until
death do us part’’ were kept with all the sacred-
uess that a true woman possesses. Prof. Chap
pell was called to Jacksonville, Ala., to take
charge of the State Normal school there, and this
was their home at the time of her death. But
she preferred that her life should end in the home
of her childhood’s happy days, and she was taken
to Madison, where she died Saturday night.
Her remains were brought to this city for in
terment, and it was a sad concourse of friends
who yesterday assembled to pay the last sad
tribute to departed worth. When they remem
bered with what pleasure they greeted her com
ing to us so brief a time before, it gave poignancy
to their sadness. The very many friends of the
heart-stricken husband feel deeply for him in his
hour of dork bereavement. One wing of his
eagle is broken, but there is another window in
heaven. May he trust in that source for conso
lation from which only true consolation can
come.
The funeral took place from the First Baptist
church yesterday morning at 10 o’clock, Rev. It.

and Mrs. Freeman Stewart, died Sunday morn

months ago she cume to gladden the hearts oi

9th of this month. His remains were put aboard
the steamer Naiad to be brought to this city and
scut to Troup county for interment, but they be
came so offensive that when the steamer reached
Hutchinson’s landing, on the Flint river, it was
decided to inter them there. His young wife was
aboard and consented to the burial. Mr. Walter
Fry read the Episcopal sendee, and the remains
were properly interred at that landing. Mr. Veil
had been in the employ of the Cypress Lumber
company, and was only about 22 years of age.

SKEWING INFORMATION.
A Oaano Man Wants N. K. M. to be More Explicit
—A Fen Qucrrle* for Information.
In the Enquibbr-8un of the 13th the fol
lowing appears in a letter dated Nances, June
12, and signed N. E. M.:
“I am making some experiments in farming this
year with different kinds of guano. The people
ought to make their own guano and save from
ten to twenty dollars per ton by doing their own
mixing. A formula that I am using is 200 pounds
acid phosphate, 100 pounds cotton seed meal and
50 pounds kainit. It cost from eighteen to twen
ty-one dollars per ton, mixed at home, and I have
sample rows of it and other guanos side by side.
It is as good, if not better, than the other that
cost one bale of cotton per ton. Then why not do
our own mixing and save from 25 to 50 per cent.?’ -
This is rather heavy on the guano dealer and
manufacturer and is such an important discovery
we would like to hear further from him in answer
to the following questions:
1st. What is the name of the phosphate used?
From whom did he buy, and what price did he
pay, cash or time ?
2nd. What brand of kainit? Give name and
from whom purchased, price paid and terms of
sale, cash or credit ?
3rd. From whom did he buy his cotton seed
meal, how much did he pay for it, time or cash?
4th. How much of this mixture did he apply to
the acre, and on what kind of crops?
5th. Give name of guano used, from whom pur
chased. ami the number of pounds used per acre
and kind of crop to which applied, and price paid,
time or credit?
IfN. E. M. will favor the public with a full
answer to the above, we will be better able to
judge of the correctness of his conclusions. Come
out, N. E.’M., and tell us all about your wonderful
discovery.
With your permission, Mr. Editor, when N. E.
M. answers the foregoing questions I will have
something more to say upon the subject of fertil
izers and farming. We ought not to write upon
such an important question without being fully
posted as to the correctness of advice we give to
the public and assertions we make in reference
to a business in which thousands of dollars are j
invested, and which is just as reputable as any i
other business pursuit. IfN. E. M. is correct in !
his statements and conclusions, then there is |
something wrong and reprehensible in the j
manufacture and sale of fertilizers in this com- .
inanity at least, and since you have seen proper ;
to give N. E. M. space iu your paper to make |
these statements, which if true cast a very serious i
reflection upon those eugaged in the guano busi- I
ness, 1 ask, as a guano man, space to make some |
reply to these things

liu|Mirtaut Change In Schedule.
The attention of the traveling public is called
to the new schedule of the Western Railway of
Alabama that went into effect Sunday, June 1.3th,
and makes important changes in the running of
trains on that railway. On and after that date
train No. 11, Montgomery and Columbus through
freight and accommodation, will run through
from Montgomery to Columbus without change,
leaving Montgomery at 3:30 p. m. and arriving at
Columbus at 10:05 p. m. Returning, train No. 12,
Columbus and Monegomery through freight and
accommodation, will run through from Columbus
to Montgomery without change, leaving Colum
bus at 10:50 p. m. and arriving at Montgomerv at
5:15 a. m. This also train connects at Opelikawith
ihe night train on the Western railway to At
lanta.

An act (Hissed at the last session of the legisla
ture allows each company of this state to bear
u{h)U its roll of pay meiuliers, a class of special
pay members, not exceeding fifteen in number,
who shall pay to such company not less than
$25 per annum, and iu consideration, therefore,
such special puy-meuiber shall^ be exempt from
street tax, and road and jury duty. The Colum
bus Guards are availing themselves of this act.
and more than half of the limited number are
now enrolled from among the friends of this his
torical old corps. It is hoped others will come
forward at once, and thereby place the company
on such a solid financial basis as will insure the
company ample support, aud thereby strengthen
the new lease oflife that the old command seems
to have taken lately.

hesitatingly vote against my own side and say

adoption of the constitution of 1877 down to the
time when Major Bacon ceased to be a member
j of the house he was honestly and sincerely op
posed to the regulation of railroads by law. I
1 do believe he was opposed to the railroad com
mission bill, and that in appointing members of
the railroud committees he made it a point to
select a majority of gentlemen whose views
accorded with his own. As to his design there
may be some doubt, and if he did so appoint his
committees I do not insist that it follows that he
therefore acted corruptly. I believe that the
speaker of the house of representatives of the
United States makes it a rule to give his party
a majority of one in apppointing committees.
Mr. Garrard says “The fact is that this com
mittee 11878 and 1879) reported favorably on the
railroad commission bill.” If Mr. Garrard will
look on page 1135 of the house journal of 1879 he
, will see that the committee recommended the
passage of a substitute und did not recommend
I the passage of the bill that did pass. If he will
look on page 128-1 he will see that Mr. Cox, of
Troup, moved to strike out the first section of
| the committee’s substitute. That Messrs. Fort
ami Rankin, who were and are now recognized
as the real champions of the railroad commission
j bill, at that time voted for that motion, and that
the other members of that committee, to-wit •
Messrs. Adams, Colley, Hulsey, Pike, Garrard,
! Hanks, Nisbet and Wright voted against it,
j and that Mr. Hall did not vote at
; all. On page 1285 he will see that notwithstand-
j ing this almost unanimous opposition vote of the
| committee tae motion prevailed, and the section
I was stricken out. If Mr. Garrard will look on
! page 1295 he will see that after this amendment
and some others were made to the committee’s
I substitute, the entire substitute was withdrawn
i on motion of Mr. Colley, and that the original
i bill known as the Rankin bill was then taken up.
! If he will then follow the subject to its final con-
j elusion lie will find that this was the bill that
I finally passed after various amendments, and he
1 will hardly contend that the withdrawal of
j the committee’s substitute was a recommendation
of tlie original Rankin bill by a majority of the
i committee, when he looks on pages 1364-’5; for
i lie will there see that on the passage of the said
i railroad commission bill a minority of the com-
j mittee only voted for the bill, to-wit; Messrs.
Hanks, Hulsey, Rankin, Fort, Garrard and King,
j six in all—while Messrs. Hall, Adams, Colley,
j Nisbet, Pike, Turner and Wright, seven in all,
were present and did not vote for it. It is true
that Mr. Hull alone voted in the negative, but
Mr. Wright paired with Mr. Tatum, who was for
the bill, and the other gentlemen declined to
vote. The bill got only eighty-eight votes, a
hare necessary majority, and was known to
have less than that number, while
being verified, and
ucceeded only by the ut-
in securing a suffi-
rotes before the re
sale by all druggists.

A Little Excitement.
Yesterday afternoon some four or five Florida
steers were being driven through the city from
the boat. When they had gotten as far as the
market house they became quite unmanageable.
They evidently were in their fighting humor, and
did not intend quietly to submit to being driven
any farther. Quito a large crowd gathered
around. They did not, as it happened, do any
damage, but it might have been otherwise, and
those in charge should take more precautions in
the future. One of them got away, and the last
heard of him was as he turned a corner up First
avenue. The crowd seemed to enjoy the fun
without thinking of the danger.
Riche* a Smull Part of Life.
Rushville Republican.]
The monumental mistake of the age is. that
the man who does not get rich is a failure. The
truth is, in most cases ohr very rich men furnish
the most signal examples of failure. They neith
er get happiness for themselves out of their
wealth, nor make it useful to others. And the
most striking fact in their obituary notices is,
that they died worth so much money. Too often
their death is a gain rather than a loss to the
communities in which they have lived their sel
fish lives.

I cient number of additional

did not vote had recommended and favored the
passage of this bill it is a litt le strange that they
did not vote for it under such circumstances.
But their votes all along show conclusively
that they were against the bill.
Now as to the position of a -majority of the
committee of ’80-’81, I have this much to say
at present, after reiterating the disclaimer of any
intended reflection upon them or any of them as
erroneously understood by Mr. Garrard. In ’81 a
certain bill passed the senate without a
dissenting vote after being amended,
empowering and requiring the railroad commis
sion in fixing rates on a system of roads to treat
them as one line so as to prevent unjust discrim
ination against way stations as at that time prac
ticed by the Central system in charging a sum
of locals instead of equitable through rates. This
practice made Macon a sort of toll-gate and was
a great hardship on all the way stations. This
bill, notwithstanding its unanimous passage by
the senate was killed by an adverse report of this
house committee, when its friends had no rea
sonable doubt of its passage in the house had it
not been for this adverse report., because,
it being late in the session, under this adverse
action, it could get no consideration from the
house. I have made my letter unintentionally
long, but beg leave to say in conclusion chat my
point against Major Bacon in this connection is
that whether honestly or dishonestly he has
always been in the interests of the railroads and
not the people on this great question, and that 1
believe him to bo so now, what he may have
said under pressure to the contrary, notwith
standing. Yours truly, DuPont Guerrv.

A Profitable Investment.
Hon. J. H. Stead, State Senator in Colorado,
writes: “Thirty years ago I took a policy in the
Mutual Life for $1,000, annual payments $22.08.
which I paid :or 20 years, making $465. For the
last ten years the premium has been paid by the
dividends. In other words, I have not paid any
thing for ten years I am now informed from the
general office of the Company that my policy is
worth $1,800. Had I continued to pay the pre
miums in cash, as I should have done, the policy
would be worth $2,.100 to $2,400. But I have se
cured $1,800 for my family by an investment of
$465, which is an excellent showing. I recom
mend Life Insurance because I believe in it, and
believe in the Mutual Lifh Policies.
Yours truly, J. H. Stead.
