’•The mnrket is fair,” said Ed Yonge, when we
asked as to the facts about real estate. “The
principal trouble Is in getting buyers and sellers
together. It is a little hard on that account to
make sales, but there is a very good demand.
The seller says, 'Here, if you will give my price,
correct. If you won’t, let It alone?’ He thinks
he will get his ligures after awhile if not now,
and that Ills real estate is a good thingtokeep.
And, as a rule, his position is correct, because we
believe, all of us do, that Columbus Is growing In
importance and population continually and that
real estate is likely to enhance as a whole for
some time to oome.”
The truth is that since the Georgia Midland
and Gulf road became a certainty, and now that
the extension of the Columbus and Western is
about to materialize into a reality, the people

assiduously our people watch after the interest of
the city.
All the managers of the steamboat companies
lure, and a large number ofthe citizens, sent the
president a petition, of which the following is a
copy:
Columbus, Ga., June 18.—President Columbus
Board of Trade : The undersigned request that
you call a meeting of the Board of Trade at as
early a date as possible, to consult about the
present condition of Chattahoochee river, and to
suggest means for its improvement, and desire
that an invitation be sent to R. L. Hoxie. cap
tain engineers U. S. A., at Montgc mery, Ala., to
meet with the board.”
Capt. Hoxie was invited to attend the meeting
ofthe board of trade, and yesterday his answer
was received. He is anxious to visit Columbus
and learn something about the river from actual
observation. He regrets that he cannot come
sooner, but if the board will postpone the meet
ing until about the middle of July, he will take
pleasure in accepting the invitation.
As there is no particular necessity for doing so
earlier, the president will call the meeting when
it is convenient for Captain Hoxie to be present,
and he has been so informed.
Speaking ofthe river reminds us that there is a
strong probability of a cessation of hostilities
among the different steamboat lines. The fight
will no doubt wind up very soon and satisfactorily
to all the boat owners. The matter is now under
adjustment between the three railroads interested,
and ifthey fail to come to an agreement they
have all promised to leave the adjustment to arbi
tration. We do not give this as rumor, but as a
fact.
It would make a farmer laugh at one’s ignorance
ofthe weather to talk to him about dust just now,
while the crab grass is trying to run away with
his crop and the water follows along the plow
furrow. But that was what a neatly dressed gen
tleman was talking about at the Rankin house
last night. He had just arrived by the Columbus
and Western train and said:
“I was annoyed and almost angered as I came
over on the cars bj' the passenger who sat right
in front of me. He insisted on keeping the win
dow raised, admitting a stream of dust and cin
ders which overspread my clothes, penetrated my
nostrils and throat and rendered any approach
to comfort impossible.”
To this his companion, with whom he was con
versing, gave vent to his views thusly: “You
cannot ride far iu an ordinary train before this
fiend comes iu and makes you miserable. The
ordinary modern car is sufficiently ventilated to
admit of the windows being kept closed all the
time, both winter and summer, and they should be
made so that the passenger could not open them.
With them all closed the car remains corapara-

to sleep. Go, get thee to a nunnery, and when

Columbus, Ga., June 26.—I promised with per
mission of the Enquirer-Sun to have something
more to say when “N. E. M.” replied to certain
questions addressed to him, the most important
of which he totally failed to answer, tc-wit:
Name the brands and quantity applied per acre
of the guano used as well as the quantity of your
mixture applied by it?
His reply discloses the fact that instead of
using several, as stated, he used only one this
year, which instead of costing him a bale of cot
ton was purchased on a credit for 275 pounds,
whereas he paid 120 cash for his material un
mixed. He could have purchased the same gu
ano, or other brands just as good for $25 cash,
thus showing a difference of only $5 instead of
$20 which he said the farmer paid for mixing.
Having failed to answer these very significant
questions, it is impossible to draw any definite
conclusions as to the relative merits or costs of |
the two, as fertilizer materials are sold on th
disposed of at prices ranging from three fi r a
dollar do wnward. Mr. Lon Richards was the
auotioneer.
This is severe on Girard goats, but as the
animal is considered a nuisance about town he
must go—to the butcher shop. Those who own
goats iu Girard or Browneville should sell out
their stock aud quit the business.

Hog Anatomy.
A hog died suddenly and without any seeming
provocation near the City hall on Thursday. Drs.
Albright and Summersgill performed a surgical
operation in the interest of science to ascertain
the cause of decease. After frill, free ami dispas
sionate investigation the doctors agreed, from
the l>est lights before them, that the hog died for
want of breath. This wise decision is coincided
iu by all the spectators who witnessed the dissec
tion.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.
Hurtsboro. Ala., June 26.—The Hurtsboro
social and literary club had a most delightful
meeting last evening at the residence of Dr.
Long. Many fair young ludiesand gallant beaux
graced the occasion, aud not until the wee small
hours did the sweet strains of “Home, Sweet
Home" signal the parting hour. Ice-cream and
other refreshments were served in great abund
ance. Among the visitors were Mr. C. D. Hurt,
jr., of Macon, Ga., Mr. Julieu Long, Miss Laura
Long and Miss Lizzie Rhodes, ot Eufaula, Ala.
The excessive rains lately have done a great
deal of injury to the crops. Farmers complain
greatly of the grass and many think they will
j have to abandon most of the low lands.
! Mr. J. YV. Iy*ng, of your city, representing
’ d5 _ I Messrs. Jenkins & Co., has been canvassing this
e r- section for the last few days iu the interest of
| that popular and staunch firm. In consequence
I thereof they will get most ofthe cotton from this
place. They have the right man in the right
place.
Mrs. J. \V. Long left yesterday to visit her
sister. Mrs. Boykin, who is sick at the residence
of her father, Col. L, YV. Walker, at Suspension,
Ala.
Many of our citizens visited Seale yesterday to
witness the hanging of Davis. They reported that
Sheriff* Bellamy did the job up in good style.
Miss Laulie Brown is spending a few days visit
ing relatives in your city.
The Russell Register, one of the best weekly
papers iu our state, came to us this afternoon
with the full particulars ol the Davis hanging.
The execution took place at 11:53 a. in., and the
papers were mailed at 3:30 p. ni. This progress
and energy on the part of the live, young pro
prietors, has doubly strengthened their valuable

Just a week ago we had something to say about
trees in the city.
They are not only pretty to the eye and give
comfort to man and beast, but they are whole
some.
The sanitary value of trees to the city of Colum
bus cannot well be overestimated. It is a well-
known fact that during the intense heat ot sum
mer there is more suffering and death from sun
stroke and high temperature in the northern
cities than in the south, a result which nnw cer
tainly he attributed to absence of suitable pro
tection. From three to five thousand people die
every summer in the metropolis from the effects
ofthe heat.
In the arid, treeless streets and avenues the
temperature often runs from 130 to 150 I* ah.,
when under the branches of a thrifty shade
tree it would not exceed 70- or 80 .
In the absence of sheltering trees,
the stone and brick walls act on the principle of
the regenerative ftirnace, and absorb the heat ot
the sun to yield it up again during the night. It
trees were planted iu tlie streets the pavemeuts
and surrounding walls would be much coole r,
and at the same time the trees would absorb the
deleterious gases thrown off from the lungs and
from decomposing matter, yielding, in return, a
supply of pure oxygen.
The value of a systematic culture' of trees in all
of our large cities can hardly be estimated. From
both a sanitary aud artistic standpoint, they are
a very desirable addition to any city.
“That reminds me of another one," is what food in it
that is phosphoric acid.
Consequently farmers are sometimes misled in
their conclusions as to the relative merits of a fer
tilizer on soil tests, because if we apply an acid
phosphate containing only one of these constitu
ents to u land naturally rich iu ammonia and pot
ash, we would discover little or no difference >n
the product, for the reason that an increase in
the amount of ammonia and potash used on a
crop, does not always increase the yield, but the
contrary is true of the phosphates.
On a land naturally supplied with one. the ap
plication of a fertilizer containing ail three, would
not increase the yield over another fertilizer con
taining only two, unless it be phosphoric acid.
This is an inorganic element which experiment-
show may be applied to all kinds of lands, rich
or poor, in unlimited quantities, to more or
less profit, according to the presence < t
a sufficient supply of nitrogen, which is
the only organic element needed in ordei

This might result on poor land,where an amn.o-

Competition in the manufacture and sale of
fertilizers will always prevent large margins bo-
tween the cost of material and the selling prices
in this country’, and whenever any article in the
