We are reliably informed that the Mechanics Assembly, Knights of Labor, at their meeting last night determined to ignore nominations made at the mass meeting of Knights of Labor on Monday night. They express themselves as satisfied with the democratic nominees. A (Jin House llurnetl. The gin house of Mr. E. P. Willis, which was located about ten miles northeast of the city, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning. It was a steam ginnery and was being operated when the fire broke out. We were unable to learn the ex tent of the loss, but understand that there was no insurance. Colonel Alexander’s Remains. The remains of Colonel P. W. Alexander, who died in Marietta Thursday night, reached this city yesterday evening. They were accompanied by the fiunily and several friends. The faneral will take place from the Episcopal church this morning at 10 o’clock, and the remains will be interred in the city cemetery. Personal. Mr. P. O. Springer lias returned from Chatta nooga. Miss Stella O’Brien will leave for New York to morrow. Mrs. J. L. Hogan and family returned fre m At lanta last night. Mrs. Dr. Phelps and Mrs. E. L. Wells returned yesterday fVom Tallulah Falls.

Waddell, all of Seale, Ala., were in the city oh Thursday and yesterday. They came up to attend the wedding of Mr. Thomas H. Evans and Miss Delia Wad dell. Columbus is always glad to greet such people us these. Aud the representative citizeu of Seale is a favorite here. Death of a Little tilrl. Grace, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Johnson, died yesterday morning at 4 o’clock, after a brief illness of congestion of the bowels. .She was only four and a half years old, and was one of the sweetest and brightest little girls in the city. Her death is a sad blow to the fond pa rents, whose hearts were wrapped up in her ftiture, and in this deep bereavement they have the sincerest sympathy of a large circle of friends. The saddest feature of this sad death is the fact that the fhther was absent from home and will not reach here until to-night. The funeral will take place from the residence of Mr. C. A. Ether- edge to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. The llla.k Flag. The next attraction at Springer opera house will be the “Black Flag,” on next Tuesday night. The Richmond Dispatch has the following to say of the play : “Edwin Thorne appeared last night at the theatre in his orginal character of Harvey Glyn- don in the ‘Black Flag.’ His company has evi dently been selected with taste and judgment, for the play from beginning to end is well rendered. It is, of course, a sensational play, but it is well intermixed with very amusing incidents and dramatic situations. Mr. Thorne, it is needless to say, did full justice to his part and received enthusiastic and deserved applause. He looks and is the character he represents. The other performers are all so good in their re spective parts that it is needless to individually mention them. The lovers of a good play will certainly till the house to-night, for such a repre sentation of real life is not always seen on the lyric stage. A crowded house may be expected.” (iettimr Hands for a Railroad. Mr. Benjamin Edge is back from Birmingham, where he went a few days ago with a lot of 135 hands from this place to work on the road be tween Birmingham and Memphis. He reports having arrived there safely with the entire lot, except two who gave him the slip at Montgom ery, and 6ays his hands are at work about thirty- five miles beyond Birmingham and are cheerftil and hearty. Many of them are writing back to their families that they are saving up money to spend at home when they return. Most of the hands Mr. Edge carried off had been engaged on the Georgia Midland and had completed their engagements on that road, and hence had some experience in railroad building. Mr. Edge will leave again on Tuesday with a lot of fifty more. We have known Ben Edge a long time, and a truer, nobler, more whole-souled man than he is would be hard to start, and we would be glad to hear that he had captured a whole railroad, train and all. MBS. HENLKY HEARD FROM. She Writes a Card to the Habile In Her Own De fen se. Enquirer-Sun : My name is before the public, and not with anything good attached to it. I am going to leave Columbus forever, and going to my father’s. Yes, going back where IJspent the pure years of my girlhood. But before I go I want to say one word in my own behalf. Will you he kind enough to publish it for me ? ’Tis bad enough to have to live with a brokeu heart and a blighted life without being misunderstood. But do not like to be tarnished and blackened more than I deserve. I did take chloroform, and did try to commit suicide. It was wrong. I am sorry; oh, so sorry. And I have promised my God to live on and bear the burden, and never, never do so again. I have nothing to say against my husband. I love him with all my heart. I love him yet. He has left me. If he had any reasons, why did he not give them instead of throwing out insinua tions against me? I call upon him to give them publicly. God knows he can give no proof that I have been an unfaithful wife to him. I have still been true since he left me. God knows this is so. But has he been true? I have spent whole nights alone, and he out, I know not where. God pity me, for I have tried to do right. I gave Johnnie my love, my all, and he has thrown it aside, trampled on my heart, ruined my life and almost led me to the brink of hell for another. This is all I have to say. To the public I say: Judge not too harshly one deserted, maltreated and kicked and cuffed about—the slave of a jealous husband. I am willing to rest my cuso with God, for He alone knows how I was tried and tempted, and how my poor breaking heart longed for death. Cassie Henley. Columbus, Ga., .September 24. TALK FROM TALBOTTON. A Colnnbuslte Taking In the Columbus Baptist Association. Miss Fly’s Funeral. The remains of Miss Lucy Ely, whose death was noticed in yesterday’s issue, arrived yester day from Atlanta on the noon train via Opelika, and were met at the depot by a large concourse of sorrowing friends, among whom were very many from the neighborhood of her home across the river, and thence accompanied to the city cemetery. R. A Carson, C. R. Russell, Albert Kirven and Mr. McNeely acted as pall-bearers. Mr. G. W. Ely, of Montgomery, uncle of the de ceased, met the remains at Opelika. Miss Ely left her home in Browneville two weeks ago to visit her aunt in Atlanta. When she left she was the perfect picture of blooming health. She was the youngest daughter of the late Marcus B. Ely, and was about 19 years of age. Her mother resides in Browneville, and for some years has been engaged in the public schools in that community, and is a most estima ble lady. Rev. J. B. Cummings officiated in the burial services, which were held at the cemetery. In the death of Miss Ely the community loses one of the brightest and loveliest of its young ladies. Her mind was cultivated and her heart beat in unison with every holv and noble im pulse. How si\d it must be to her young com panions to realize that they will meet her no more in life. The bereaved mother especially has the profoundest sympathies of the entire com munity. River News. The steamer Milton H. Smith arrived yester day evening, bringing 2-17 bales of cotton and miscellaneous freight consigned as follows Thweatt & Snider, 150; Blanchard, Burrus & Co., 11; Flournoy & Epping, 46; Slade & Ether- edge, 19; T.

There is no more delightful country in all this section than that along the line of the Columbusand Rome railroad. Married in Rest Point. Mr. W. F. Purcell aud Miss Nita Shutze were married in West Point on Thursday evening. The bride is a daughter of Mr. D. C. Shutze, of this city, and was attending school in West Point. She is a lovely and highly accomplished young lady, who was a general favorite among those who knew her. The groom is the son of Dr. Q. T. Purcell, of Chipley, and is a genial and energetic young gentleman. The marriage was quite an im promptu affair, aud took not only the friends but the relatives by surprise. The young couple went immediately to Chipley after the ceremony had been performed. They have many friends who wish for them a bright ftiture. Thr County Registration.

Moses, i Peabody School District, Russell Co., Ala. Correspondence Enquirer-Sun. Talbotton, September 24.'—I find it no easy task this morning to begin this communication, for there were so many things done yesterday about which I would like to say something, and ray time is so short in which to write, that it is very difficult to decide what ta say and what to leave unsaid. Well, I must begin with some thing, and so touth upon the association first, as that is the biggest thing here now—except, per haps. the hospitality of the people—the superior court having lost much of its attractiveness to visitors within the last few days. The most of the morning session at the associa tion was taken up in discussing and endorsing the great and glorious influences of the Christian Index and Mercer University upon the Baptist denomination, and upon the people generally, not only in the state of Georgia, but in all our beloved southland. Dr. McCall, the spe cial agent of Mercer, is here and in good trim. He is a strong advocate of the cause of education and of truth, portrays in a most impressive manner the advantages and gains, compelling you to see, almost without reference, the disadvantages and vices which would exist, these things being neglected. He referred with pride to the groat and glorious work that Oxford, the university, Mercer and other institutions were doing for Georgia and the south. Yea, and for the world. (Oh, I wish I could tell it like he did.) But not that he loved Ctesar less, but Rome more, and Mercer was his Rome. I vish I could write like he talks. If I could I would apply for the position of regular correspondent to the Enquirer-Sun, and in a short time I think I could be able to have a larger audience, not that all the seats were not occupied and many stand ing, but I think my standing committee would be somewhat larger. I wouldjlike to quote him on “education necessary to progress,” and God’s pur pose to civilize and save by human instrumentali ty, etc., etc. Time shortens, and as he was cut short by the arrival of the hour for a “set” service, to-wit: preaching, so I must answer to the ever welcome call of the breakfast bell. And let me say right here no matter whether I be a delegate, regular or pro tempore, to the associa tion, state convention, southern convention or any other convention, I want no better host and hostess than I have had on this occasion. Every thing that you wanted, just as you wanted it aud just when you wanted it, not even excepting many things not on the bill; and I am honest when I say I believe th is has been true of all who have so kindly entertained the delegates in attendance. Let’s see. Where did I leave off? Oh, yes; in my report at the preaching hour—in the writing thereof at the breakfast hour—and I will proceed to close rapidly, as you know there is a great deal of time between breakfast and “business” at an association, especially if you are on a com mittee that lias to report, first. Preaching at the Baptist church by Rev. C. H. Martin, and at the Met! odist by Dr. Ross, the churches being half a mile apart, it was impossible to hear both ser mons and make exact reports. Suffice it the con gregations were large, discourses well rendered, and the people pleased. Dinner followed, and when I say dinner I mean it—one that fullv equipped the most exacting laborer in the great work for a full discharge of the arduous tasks placed upon them, when the business sessions opened promptly at 2 p. m., as was clearly mani fest to all present by the rapid and effective man ner in which the various items were disposed of and the amount of actual business done. Preaching at night at the Baptist church by Rev. G. R. McCall. No farther comments are necessary, I think, when the general expression given to an hour and ten minutes sermon is, “why, I didn’t think he preached thirty min utes.” (Side note—be happy in the selection of your subject and make every sentence tell.) Rev. R. H. Harris occupied the pulpit at the Methodist church, equally happy in the choice of subject. The marked attention given by all fully at’ests his ability to hold an audience forty- eight minutes in a state of oblivion as r igards the passing time. Both churches filled, in both uses of the term. I slept well. Have had a hearty breakfast. Will leave to-day, but not for Columbus, as you would intimate by the heading of my first communication. Father C. C. Willis could probably post you better. The association j will close its most profitable and harmonious session this evening. No further promise from Yours, W. For Tax Collector.

Bradford, Manager. “Not a Qnegtton of Brain*.” Wichita, Kan., August 22,1886. To the Agent of the Mutual Life—Dear Sir: Success in this world is not a question of brains. Last winter I made the acquaintance of a gen tleman who used to be worth $250,000. During these years he took out $11,000 15 year en dowment in the Mutual Life. When it had run 11 years he broke up in business and lost all but his policy, for which the company paid him $8,000. This gave him a second start. He said: “If I had not taken an endowment policy I would now have to work by the day, as the money paid for the insurance would have gone into the business.” Respectfully, D. C McKinnon, Need we say anything relative to the advisa bility of preparing a financial umbrella for the proverbial “rainy day” by taking a policy in the Mutual Life. D. F. Willcox, dtf Agent Mutual Life Insurance Co. Alpha A. William**, the Photographer.
