Tlie Demon Jealousy.
Late Saturday night Lem Broughton went to
Sam Jenkins’ house in Cooleyville to see him on
a matter of business. Jenkins was not at home
at the time and his wife invited Broughton in to
await his return. Broughton was a little
“drinky” and fell across the foot of the bed.
In a few minutes Jenkins arrived,
and finding Broughton in his room,
did not wait to investigate nmttors, but slashed
out a knife and began to carve him up. After
cutting Broughton in several places Jenkins ran,
and had not been nrrested at last accounts.
Broughton’s wounds were dressed by Dr. Griggs.
While serious, they are not considered fatal.

integrity he had tho confidence and esteem of
all who knew him. His death is deeply regretted

The Black Flag.
The “ Black Flag” will be given at Springer
opera house to-night, and will no doubt be
Reeled by a large audience. The Chicago Times
has the following to say of the play and the com
pany :
“ One of the largest audiences ever assembled at
the Grand opera house was the one that gathered
there last evening to witness the second produc
tion in this city of Pettitt’s sensational melodrama
“The Black Flag.” But little need be said of the
piece itself, its merits and shortcomings having
been so frequently discussed of late as to
render any further comments not only tedious
but unnecessary. It is by all odds the best of the
recently imported melo-dramas, and never fails
to prove interesting. Its mountings last evening
was excellent, while the Company, as all will
agree, proved the strongest ever seen in
their respective parts. Ned. Thorne was, of
course, the ideal Harry Glyndon, and it may be
6aid in conclusion, that a more interesting or
better acted play was never put on the stage of
the Grand opera house.”
A GREAT SERMON.
Rev. George G. N. Macdonell Delivers a Re
markable DIsronrNp on Sunday Morning.
It has been noised about the city for two or
three weeks that Rev. George G. N. Macdonell,
of 8t Luke church, was preaching some sermons
of unusual power and Interest of late. And on
last Sunday an Enquirer-Sun reporter attended
the services. Besides the usual congregation,
which is always very large, there was a large
number of persons present who do not go to
church regularly, and also numbers from other
congregations whose pastors are absent on a
vacation. Tlie spacious edifice was literally
packed by one of the most cultured congrega
tions that could be assembled in Georgia.
Hie scene was enough to Inspire any
man. The soft sunlight streamed through
the stained windows and fell upon chancel and
pulpit and preacher and people like a beautiftil
benediction from heaven spoken by light instead
of sound. After two hymns had been sung by
the choir, which is one of the finest in the city,
and after a very earnest prayer, Rev. Mr. Mac-
donell read the text: “He that is not for me is
against ras.” A short text generally augurs a
good sermon. For three-quarters of an hour Mr.
Macdonell held the congregation as rapt and
immovable as if he had frozen them to the pews
with the sound of his voioe, and there were
evidences of regret when he finally closed. No
synopsis or description could do this great effort
Justice; and even if it were printed in full, the
cold type could not convey or depict the thrilling
effoct which the presence and voice and Hash
ing eye and fearftil earnestness of .the
preacher had upon his hearers. Mr. Macdonell
bogan by saying that when mighty issues were
being contested, and the decisions of war and
battles were yet hanging in the balance, the neu
trality ofany man brought upon him the contempt
of both sides, since both sides suspected that the
neutral party was in secret sympathy with tho
enemy. That in the great war between the
states the man who was unwilling
to come out boldly against the
north in the south and the man who
was unwilling to come out heart and soul against
the south in the north had heaped upon him the
condemnation of his neighbors and countrymen,
who said in effect, “ He that is not for us is
against us.” The preacher then described in
language that blazed and crackled like fire the
ruen and the agencies in the country to-day that
were against tho spirit of Christ. His animad
version upon the liquor traffic showed that there
was nothing neutral about the preacher. He
drew a picture of the “ polished profligate
and libertine whose culture and pedigree
and money carry him, like a hawk into a dove
cot, among the pure and stainless daughters of
the best families in the land, where he literally
preys upon the tenderest of the flock.” It was
enough to blanch the cheek of every mother in
the congregation. And it did. But, perhaps, for
polished invoctive and scriptural scathing, no
part of tho discourse equaled tho reference the
preacher made to the printing press of the
whole world, which, he said, in many places and
instances was shamefully prostituting its
high power and calling to unholy
purposes. He gave the “yellow
backs” and the French novela a few moments of
his attention, which ought to put parents on tho
watch as to what their children read. He then
took up tho daily newspaper press, and while hia
remarks wero judicious and conservative, they
were tho truth, and they were terrible. If this
part of the sermon could have been sent off in
the Associated Press dispatches, it would have
made men like Joe Pulitzer, John McLean aud
Murat Halstead feel like wearing a mask when
they came out ou the streets for
the noxt mouth. In concluding
the portion of hia remarks upon the
daily press, Mr. Macdonell said: “After what has
been said in this connection, I deem it no more
than an act of simple justice to say that in my
opinion the Enquirer-Sun, of Columbus, is the
purest, cleanest and best daily paper published in
the state of Georgia.”
The peroration to this remarkable discourse
was extremely thrilling. The following is one of
the sentences it contained: “The difference
between the infidel and the Christian
is the difference between despair and hope;
the infidel boasts of a grave without a resurrec
tion, and a world without a God, while the
Christian walks about Ziou and marks well her
bulwarks, and upon every stone ‘polished after
the similitude of a palace’ he builds the founda
tion of a deathless hope for the eternity that is
opening to receive him by and by.”
At the conclusion of the services the sermon
was the subject of comment among the entire
congregation, and later it was talked of through
out the city. The reporter heard two intelligent
men who are among the most
prominent business men of the city
say that it was the finest pulpit effort they had
heard in ten years. And another gentlemau
standing near said: “If the congregation will
have it published in pamphlet form they will ac
complish a great deal of good by it. It is too
able an effort to be lost that way without print
ing it. I’ll give $5 for one copy of it ”
Rev. Mr. Macdonell is too well known to be in
troduced to the public along with his sermon.
He is in the prime of life and is
doing l\is best work now. And be
hind him he lias a record as a Methodist itinerant
minister which is a greater honor to any man
than to have built the pyramid of Cheops or to
have led tho charge at Thermopylae Not only
St. Lnlce’s congregation, but Columbus as a city
is proud of Mr. Mcdonell; and it will simply be an
act pro bono publico for the Methodists of the
city to keop him among us as long as possible.

TIIE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Over Thirteen Hundred Children Enroll on the
Opening Day.
The fell session of the Columbus public schools
began yesterday. The weather was most favor
able and the attendance was the largest of any
opening day In the history of the schools. There
were 1336 names enrolled, which is an increase
over last year of 101. The following shows the
number enrolled at each school;
Boys’school (Prof. Battle, principal) 267
Girls* school (Miss Birdsong, principal) 347
Mercer street school (W. H. Spencer, princi
pal/—colored 661
Claflin school (R. B. Hodges, principal)—
colored 171
Total 1336
At tho opening last year there were 587 whites
and 648 colored.
There is no better evidence of the growth of
the city than the yearly increase of the number
of children in attendance upon these schools.
Notwithstanding the feet that there are a large
number of private schools in the city, the public
schools continue to flourish. They are a blessing
to Columbus, and will continue to be so long as
they are as well managed as they are at present
and have been in the past. The rich and the
poor enjoy the benefits of them alike. As the
session advances the number iu attendance will
largely increase.
Chat Among tho Boarders.
At a boarding house on Twelfth street congre
gate about meal time a lot of bachelors, wid-
owerers aud heads of families whose wives have
not yet returned from the summer resorts. Their
chat, while waiting for the bell, sometimes
drifts into lively reminiscences and personal ex
periences. Some of these talks we propose to jot.
Well, here goes for yesterday’s talk:
W., who had the floor, said: “I was traveling
in Mississippi a few years ago and stopped
over night in a village which, at that time, was
attracting somo attention. On coming down to
breakfast a little late and finding
the end Beat vacant, and especially
as I noticed near by a huge dish full to the brim
with the finest of beef steak, I squared myself in
that end seat with a feeling of intense satisfac
tion at tho comforting prospect within easy reach
of my fork. But I noticed at the same time that
the other guests didn’t seem to be fond of beef
steak, and the landlord was pacing about the
other end of the long table in a wild frenzy, as
though he had been monkeying with the after end
of a hornet and had been surprised in the output.
But not being in a humor for making protracted
observations on the movements of others, I drove
my fork into a large beef steak and yanked it
on to my plate. I slashed my knife into a
large sized corner of it, and was just
about to set my teeth on the delicious
morsel when I was startled by a yell like an epi
leptic scream. At the same time I saw the land
lord waddling towards me as fast as his short legs
and plethoric corpus would permit. What in the
name of Abraham can be the matter? Is the man
crazy? Is tho meat poisoned? were some of the
ejaculatory incoherences which bounded through
iny mind. But the landlord, with emotions of re
gret, flushed anger and mortification, all com
mingled in his rotund countenance, and in almost
exhausted breath explained that the beef was
bitter and the rascally butcher had deceived him.
I had never heard of bitter beef before and ven
tured to ask the cause.
“ ‘Oh, the bitter weed—the bitter weed they
oat.’
“After learning the meat was not poisoned,
but only bitter, and as I was having a new ex
perience, I concluded to go the whole ticket any
how. So putting the morsel, which till then
had remained impaled on my fork, between my
molars, I began to grind. At flapt I could taate
nothing but good steak, but soon 1 Btruck the
latent mischief, when all at once the whole thing
seemed transformed into a huge cud of quinine,
and I was glad enough to get it out. The other
guests, who already knew a thing or two about
bitter beef, who who had been watching me
wich suppressed merriment, then gave full vent
to their hiiiarity, and I was the victim. Since
then, when 1 am traveling, I listen to what the
natives say, especially about matters of food.’’
Col. B. had commenced to relate an incident
in his rounds when the dinner music sounded,
and he will finish his story to-day.

“Not a QueKtlon of Brain*/’
Wichita, Kan., August 22, 1886.
To the Agent of the Mutual Life—Dear Sir :
Suocess 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 ho took out $11,000 15 year en
dowment in the Mutual Life. When it had run
11 years he broke up in busiuess aud 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.

New Goods, Bottom Price*.
Fair and square dealing, coupled with courte
ous and prompt attention, promised to every in
habitant of Columbus and surrounding country
that favor the Central Drug Store, Evans &
Howard, proprietors, with their patronage. We
are never too busy to give information or show
our goods, whether you buy or not. In the last
few days we have received a lot of the prettiest
and best made Tooth Brushes to be obtained,
specially imported for our trade. So much
trouble is experienced from the bristles coming
out of brushes. In the one we are offering this
objection is obviated.
We are now headquarters for the Oakley Soap
and Perfumery Company, and have on display a
magnificent line of their goods we are selling at
living prices. Our stock of Hair, Tocth, Nail and
Scrubbing Brushes, Ivor}’, Celluloid, Rubber and
Horn Combs, Whisp Brooms, Clothes and Black
ing Brushes and Polishers is very complete—
every style, make and price always on hand. We
stock every new preparation in the Drug, Chemi
cal, Patent Medicine, Perfume, Soap or Toilet
line as soon as brought to notice. Many articles
can be found in our varied stock that cannot be
obtained from other sources.
To the smoking public let us say we have re
cently received large additions to this depart
ment, and we think there is no stock of Cigars
in this section equal in quality to ours.
Recent heavy additions to our Toilet Goods
line now gives us the largest, most meritorious
and prettiest line in Columbus. We shall con
tinue to dispense Soda water for sometime yet.
Give us a call, let us price you our goods, and we
feel confident we will share your patronage.
