<liuruetor— A Peep at tin* Market on Satunlur
Night.
The city market, the central distributing point
of Columbus’s food supply, isat all times an index
of the changing seasons and their fruits. At no
season is it more attractive than when it is en
riched with the products of Georgia’s genial cli
mate and fertile soil, and the varied supply of
good things which Columbus caterers set before
our people.
It is a treat to go to the market, if one goes
.early enough, but the visitor who would witness
the opening scenes of activity must rise early.
Long before the light of the approaching day has
appeared in the east, thrifty market gardeners
are up and preparing to drive into the market.
Many who come in from long distances in the
country stall the evening before and sleep in their
wagons or by the roadside. First avenue, be
tween Tenth and Eleventh streets, is the distrib
uting point, and no other place in the city is al
lowed to do a marketing business.
AS DAYLIGHT DOTH APPEAR
everybody is busy preparing for the morning
business, and marketing is a big business in the
city. The market extends for a distance of nearly
the entire block, and within this space country
wagons have come, loaded with the products of
the farm, garden, dairy and poultry yard. But
we shall take the market as we come to it, fVom
Eleventh street, and tell the readers of the En-
quirer-Sun something that even a great number
of the citizens of Columbus don’t know, as they
never rise early; like newspaper reporters, to see
what is going on. The first thing is
THE BUTCHER’S STALLS,
and there are eighteen of them filled with every
kind of meat from the bulky quarter of beef to
the most delicate steak or chop. Behind the
counters, some of which are marble, stand the
smiling and rubicund butchers in shining white
aprons with here and there an elegant pin, <it
may be a diamond) gleaming from a showy shir
front. The array of juicy meats, pink and white
steaks, lacy trimmed lamb quarters, with pork,
mutton and veal in the greatest profusion, can
not fail to attract the visitor. Some physicians
account for the healthy appearance of the butchers
by the fact that they breathe the particles of meat
which escape in the cutting. Their active out
door lives are sufficient to account for their rosy
cheeks, sturdy arms and powerful shoulders,
though we know one of them who drank nearly
a pint of warm beef’s blood every morning for
his health. He, however, is in poorer health
than any of the others.
THE MEAT WE EAT
will be an interesting item to many. As much
•complaint as is usually raised about poor beef,
our butchers supply the market with the very
best that can be procured. Poor beeves are fre-
•quently driven in, and because there is no de
mand for them, the countryman at once conies
to the conclusion that the butchers have formed
a combination to beat him down on prices. Fat
beeves are always in demand, and readily bring
the highest market price. Of course there are
more hogs, pigs and shoats slaughtered in the
winter season, but the average number of live
stock slain and eaten by the citizens of Columbus
for a year is
Number Pounds
Beeves 3600 1,080,000
Bheep 1200 30,000
Goats 1200 96,000
Hogs 300 4.500
Total 6300 1,220,500
For the privilege of selling these the butchers
.pay an annual rentage of from $75 to $100 a stall,
which nets the city a revenue of $1525. The stalls
are the property of the city, and there are times
when one may visit the market and very easily
•conclude that the city is not as mindflil of its
property as the necessity in the case demands.
The street is frequently quite muddy, and there
is n#t sufficient drainage for waste water from
the water works. Passing from the meat stall we
enter
THE VEGETABLE MARKET,
and ranged on either side of a wide promenade
are thirty-six stalls filled with a bewildering va
riety of articles of vegetation that would seem to
.satisfy every creature want of man, woman or
child. In passing along this promenade one
goes between barricades of luscious Georgia wa
termelons, golden canteloupes, flanked with red
and yellow apples. Skilled hands have used the
gaudy colors of nature to the best artistic effect.
On the vegetable stands are mounds of deep and
red tomatoes, silk-tipped green corn, sweet pota
toes, crisp cabbages, burnished eggplants, golden
onions and the endless variety of garden things,
all temptingly arrayed. The amount of vegeta
bles consumed in a year is simply incalculable,
and the cheapness with which they are sold
makes one wonder how the truck formers can
afford to raise them. These stalls also bring in
quite a revenue to the city, as they rent from $18
to $20 and aggregate $656 for the treasury of the
•city.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AT THE MARKET
is a field day for those who love the study of
human nature and wish to see it in all its differ
ent phases. Soon the hum of voices of the deal
ers, eloquently depicting the excellence and low
prices of what they have to sell, combined with
the arguments of purchasers and the exchange of
gossip, grows into a distinctive sound, the like of
which is heard nowhere else. All who come
within the limits of the market catch the spirit of
the barter. Children scarcely old enough to tod
dle through the crowd, importune the visitor to
buy. Boys a little older, peddle chickens, fruits
and vegetables. To appreciate the situation, one
-must get in the motley throng, and hear the cry:
“Here’s your good, nice chickens;”
and then another takes up the refrain,
“Fresh country eggs, two dozen for
a quarter,” interspersed with “Ice
cream cakes, five er block,” and sounds of all
descriptions,and those beyond describing. Every
body has something to sell or is assumed to want
to buy something. Among the attendants at the
country wagons are not unfrequently fine-look
ing girls, whose sun-browned cheeks form a
striking contrast to those of, their pale city cus
tomers. The market is
DECIDEDLY DEMOCRATIC
and ladies in silk with servants at their backs,
and in search of the best fruits and vegetables in
the land, arc- elbowed by the careful wives of me
chanics, clerks and others who study to get tin-
most for every cent expended and to buv
that which will be most enjoyed by the
hard-working head of the household. A constant
stream of people come and go until nightfall, and
long after dark when business becomes less
active, and the noise increases in volume. Amid
the din of voices may be heard almost every
accent of venders crying the cheapness and ex
cellence of what they have for sale. Each house
keeper or the market woman bears a capacious
basket and goes away with them loaded, yet the
supply seems inexhaustible. Market people are
proverbially liberal, and the number of things
dumped into baskets, without money and with
out price, would be as interesting as it is unob
tainable. The market is not confined to the two
long buildings of which the city is proprietor, but
DOWN THE STREET
on either side, leaving room to pass up and down,
chicken wagons are ranged, and below them
Uiose who »re not able to rent stalls aud peddle
only on Saturday afternoon range themselves in
i a line to sell melons, berries, and such vegetables
I as ' vil1 bring them a few dimes. They all pay a
.license, and help to swell the city treasury. The
license for a
One-horse wagon is 15 cents per day.
Two-horse wagon is 25 cents per day.
Hand-carts is 10 cents per day.
j For each basket vendor 10 cents per day.
I This, in the aggregate, amounts to considerable

j revenue to the city, enables those who cannot
affoid to rent a stall to dispose of their produce.
• and for which they generally get very lair prices.

are from 4 o’clock in the morning to », and on
Saturday from 4 o’clock in the afternoon until 9
i at night. The market bell gives notice when
| these hours have arrived, and then everybody is
I required to sell market produce at the market

! ever, are delivered at any hour during the day.

To describe the table would be altogether super

Hamilton, Ga., August 5.—Some time ago we
wrote a short article from this place for the En-
quirbr-Sun, in which we charged Dr. Glass, of
Chipley, with running a “blind tiger.” We are
now convinced from the facts now before us that
we did the doctor injustice in applying that term
to him, as he only furnished whisky on the pro
scription of a regular practicing physician, com
pounded with medicines, believing that came
legitimate in his business. We, therefore, take
pleasure in withdrawing this language and set
ting Dr. Glass before the many readers of the
I Enquirer-Sun in his true position.

Sun i In n.
There is c msideruble complaint of the unclean
and unhealthy condition of public and private
lots in Lively and Browneville. The sickly
months are now approaching and after the un
usual amount of rain of the summer it is not un
reasonable to suppose that a sickly fall will fol
low. As far as this can be prevented by a gen
eral cleaning up and renovation of lots it should
be done and done at once. The property own
ers and town authorities of Browneville and
Girard should look into this matter without de
lay, and take the hecessary steps to secure a
thorough overhauling and cleaning up. An
ounce of prevention is worth u pound of cure,
and it will be too late to bring about a reaction
and counteraction after the malignant fevers
have set In and death lias fastened his grip upon
you. Even cheap coffins will be no consolation
when the crisis comes. So go to work now and
prevent sickness as far asyou cun by setting your
houses and lots in a heatlliy condition.
Dentil's Doings.
Mrs. Elizabeth Mayor departed this life at her
home in Lee county, six miles from Crawford, on
the 24th of July in the eighty-third year of her
age. The deceased was mother of Mrs. J. D.

sister of James and *Jesse Cox, oldest citizens of
Harris county. She was a member of Primitive
Baptist church and lived and died a true woman.
Having served her generation well and faithfully

time of her death she was about forty years of
age.
Miss Fannie, a sixteen year old daughter of
Mr. J. H. Allen, died in the Valley on Wednes
day last. She was a lovely child, and her early
death has cast a gloom over many fond hearts.
But verily she “has gone to join the angels,” and
this is consolation enough for stricken hearts.
Mr. Jesse Barnes is passing through a serious
spell of illness, but his many friepdsjiope he
