«,K and Miner Sown Notes,
One of th« most pressing mints of Browneville
and Lively nt this time is light. A stranger pass
ing through any of the streets at night is strong
ly impressed with this fact. Not a public light
is to be seen anywhere. The contrast is more
apparent after having visited the well lighted
• city of Colnmbtis. Kerosene is very cheap, and
a dozen or two lamo posts might be planted here
and there in prominent places at trivial expense.
Think of it; there are about 7000 people in the
Alabama suburbs, many of whom are compelled
to be out after dark, and of necessity must grope
their way through the night.
There is no good reason why Browneville anrl
Girard should not enjoy the benefits of lighted
streets, and if the officials will not take the mat
ter in hand we hope the citizens will club to
gether andjprovlde lamps at necessary points.
Call of ft New Minister.
Rev. J. W. Wilson recently resigned his pas
torate of the Baptist church, and at a church
conference held last Sunday it was determined to
call Rev. I. P, Cheney, of Hurtsboro, to the va
cancy. Mr. Cheney has been several years in the
ministry and is regarded as a gifted and rising
man. Ho is a son of the late Dr. Isaac P.
Cheney, of Columbus. If he chooses to accept
the call wc have no doubt he will give much sat
isfaction to the community, and that through his
instrumentality the church will be greatly
strengthened.
A Narrow Ksritpe.
Mr. E. Jefferson, of the Nashville store, came
near being seriously injured yesterday by the
tumbling down upon him of a lot of hay. He
was completely lost to view for a time, but the
employes discovered his whereabouts in time to
rescue him from what promised to be a serious
mishap.

All Parties Acquitted.
Our side seems to have been dealt with very
leniently by the circuit court of Russell county
which adjourned on Friday. The case of Len
Ogletree for the killing of Needham Benefield
last spring was nol. prossed., and Messrs. Lynn
and Mullins presented for selling whisky to
minors were dismissed, there being no evidence
to convict.
Successful Bird Hunting.
Messrs. M. T. Lynn aud M. Nibblet made a
raid on the partridges yesterday, killing twenty-
two in a few hours. The hunt was some three
miles from town on the Stanford place.
Golden Engles.
These are a good thing to take along, but the
trouble is that most ot us have too few of
$hem. The Knights of the Golden Eagle, how-
-ever, are quite plentiful in Browneville, this
odge now numbering about 85 members and still
increasing. The order is not an insurance so-
■ ciety, but a beneficiary one, and must be quite
popular in this vicinity, judging from its rapid
growth.

Briefly Stated.
One by one our bright vislor s fade, and our
petted schemes come to grief. The Long street
culvert just completed a week or so ago has gone
'glimmering with the first heavy rainfall, and
with it several hundred dollars of the people’s
money. The citizens complain that the work
was not put into the hands of competent contrac-
tore, that the material used was inferior and that
no guarantee was required. The fact that the
"work was swept away by the first heavy rain
seems to be proof of the assertions. The com
missi oners who represent the monied interests
•of the county will have to do this job over again,
or one of the most important roads of the county
will be rendered impassable. In ftiture it will be
well to require: guarantees for the permanence ot
a.11 public jobs of this sort, as it will not do to
squander the county’s resources ou irresponsible
contractors. Duriug the last ten years at least
$2000 have been wasted on poor jobs in Girard
alone. Better pay more and have better work.
Eagle City.
This euphoneous and high sounding title was
some years ago applied to the level fiat north of
the creek in Girard. Whatever inay be said of
the progress and development of Girard in gen
eral does not apply to this fiat in particular. The
■eagle will not soar worth a cent, but has flapped
its proud wings, and “lit on daddy’s woodpile.*
Many of the houses are teuantless, and dilapida
tion, sad and dark, rules the scene. The owls
and bats have come to the front, and the festive
goat is having a picnic. Verily the aspect is ab
ject. and woe begone. It looks as it the funeral
of the last inhabitant hud boon preached, and
there were no mourners to return. Most of this
•desert waste belongs to the great Eagle com
pany, who seem content with the rights ac
quired. Couldn’t the company fix up a little, put
their tenements in iuhabltable shape, aud in
duce good citizens to occupy them. J.hey aie j
convenient to the factories and ought to pay J
good rentals.

Preamble and Resolutions Adopted by the First
BaptUt ('hure)i Complimentary to the Pastor.
Rev. R. H. Harris completes his first year’s
labor as pastor of the First Baptist church to-day,
and will preach his anniversary sermon this
morning. He has done an excellent work, and
the church has prospered under his charge. As
an evidence of the high appreciation in which his
services arc held by his people, we publish the
following preamble and resolutions adopted by
the church in regular conference on Thursday
night:
Columbus, Ga., November 18,1888.—On Novem
ber 22, 188"), just one year ago. our beloved pas
tor, ltev. R. il. Harris, assumed the charge of the
First Baptist Church in this city, in response to
the unanimous call of the church in conference.
It is proper to say that the circumstances under
which he entered upon the pastoral work here
were not propitious. Notwithstanding the
unanimous action of the church in extending
the call, there was much that need not be men
tioned now to discourage acceptance, and even
to intimidate a less bold ami intrepid spirit. But
he was equal to the occasion. With a devotion
to the cause of the Master seldom e jualed, and
never surpassed in modern times, he surrendered
a delightful, prosperous and most promising
charge to assume the arduous duties of
this difficult field. And now that a year is
passed since he came into our midst, we feel it to
be our duty to the denomination, to the world,
to Brother Harris, and to ourselves to say that he
is “the right man in the right place,” ana that we
do not believe that any other man could, in the
same length of time, have accomplished what he
has achieved. . ..
It affords us great pleasure to say that there
is no longer any division in our church, but
that we are a unit in all things, working together
as one man for the common good and tor the
glory of our Lord and Master. If nothing else
had been accomplished this alone would be
great cause for congratulation ; but we are
happy to add that our spiritual growth has been
great during the past year; we have received
many accessions, both by experience and letter,
and the institutions connected with our church
are in fine working order; the Sunday school is
healthy, the missionary society and industrial
school, conducted by the ladies, have accom
plished much good, and our prayer meetings are
well attended and productive ot incalculable
lerefit; and we are tree from debt; therefore,
Resolved, That we acknowledge, with grateful
hearts, these blessings attendant upon the faith
ful work of our beloved pastor, as coming from j
iur Heavenly Father,the source of all blessings.
Resolved, That we consecrate ourselves afresh |
to the glorious work before us, and that wo will ;
constantly seek divine aid to enable us to go un-
ward faithfully, zealously and earnestly in the
discharge of all our duties And may God giant
us such blessings as we have never before re-
ceived. That His Kingdom may be stilt more
abundantly built up in this community, ami that
many more may bo numbered among His people
“of such as are saved.”
A motion was adopted that the preamble and
resolutions be published in the Enquiher-Sun
and the Christian Index.

Without v;, L M ,h*i> of FaMilon.
It is uo unu.*u:il thing to find columns in the
newspapers about the fashions tor l i lies, but it is
•“•Worn that any at tern ion is given tv* the dress of
the “ lords of creation.” Man is a too-much neg-
• ceded creature by the society editor anyway, and
in our compassion for him we have taken the
trouble to gather some reliable information in
matU ra of dress that will he of Interest to those
who have regard for the feelings of the leaders
in style This question of the tailor, even if he
be nn easy man whom a square talk will induce
to waif, is a perplexing one. If you are going to
put f 37 or $50 into a suit of clothes, or even $70, it
is Just as well to have them the proper Cftper.
You can’t attend to business with that desirable
concentration of purpose if you are conscious
that your pantaloons don't fall correctly from the
knee, or that \our coat is from a buck number in
the fashion plates.
In the matter of an evening cdl, the question
of style is also an important one. There are
sensible girls, or at least one. heaven bless her,
on the list of every fortunate fallow who will
gladly overlook the personal makeup if the per
son is only frequent enough, and t ven where
this liberality docs not exist a little attention to
oranges and home made enndie* given on the in
stallment plan will silence criticism. So the boy
in the camphor coat doesn’t need to lo-*e heart
in the handicap, but if, as has been said above,
you are going to put a cash payment or a promis
sory note into new garments, it’s juntas well to
have them right.
FOR A BUSINESS SUIT,
the tY e-butt on cutaway takes tbe bad, with
the reliable sack a good second. The only notice
able* changes in the style are that the coat is not
long in the tail, and is rolled lower in the collar,
with vest to match. This is a direct move in the
interest of the laundry, the haberdasher and the
chest-protector man, but it isn’t radical.
Ail pantaloons are fuller, almost baggy, fitting
snugly nt the waist aud failing loose from the
hip to the shoe. In all their length they are
straight, the only deflection being that they
come in a little at the shoe. The gaiter-cut
over the instep is nearly gone, making
the bottom of the leg almost straight.
In colors blue, black and brown predominate.
Small checks are fashionable and the novelties
are in tbe striped goo.is ; pautaloons especially
run to stripes, and it is the thing to have them
of a different pattern from the coat and vest.
One heaveti-boru bit of economy is that this rule
is carried into evening dress, where the Prince
Albert is still the thing, so that with last year’s
fr »ck and a new pair of brown-striped pants a
young man of modest means can still make a
fair social front. The very ultra in the fashion
able world advertise the fact with very broad
and pronounced stripes after the style of the
comedian who does the frog-catcher parts iii the
farce comedies.
EOR FULL DRESS
the fashion 1ms made a pronounced flop. The
old broadcloth swallow-tail has had its day. This
is particularly severe on those young gentlemen
* ho have laid in their ftill dress for the season,
but the interest of truth demands its record Yes,
the old coat you were married in has gone to the
wall. Of course it’s as good as new, and all
that; but it isn’t keeping up with the procession.
The proper thing is of the regulation cut, but
made of very fine corkscrew goods, faced with
silk, bound with narrow silk braid and having-
imitation cuffs. Black is the favorite color, but a
dark blue is allowable. A four-button single-
breasted vest goes with that, or a white or white-
figured one of silk or marseilles mny be worn.
The most fatal blow is struck below the belt.
The black pantaloons give place to ones of light
lavender. You can easily sec, therefore, how
badly distajeed a man-i* in bis plain dress suit
where the true-and only is a corkscrew coat, a
white silk vest and a pair of lavender pants.
IN OVERCOATS
the taste is more conservative. They are cut to
trace the figure and fit it loosely. They aie of
medium length, sacks coming about to the knee.
The frock is not commonly worn, be ng affected
only by the extremely dressy. In materials the
Montanaco and Vienna wools are in the lead.
They are heavy and very soft, with a woolly fin
ish. They are made silk-lined, silk to the holes
and quilted. For half and quarter-weight coats
the smooth-faced beavers are the thing, with
diagonal worsteds for medium wear.
FOR NRCK WEAR
the ready-made sailor knot is popular. The
most fashionable all-round tie, however, is the
fourin-hand, made much larger than last year’s
tie of this shape, and very bright in color. Col
lars are rather high, with lurge turned-down
points in front, although the straight choker is
tolerated.

Cistern water is the greatest boon to
health that has boun discovered since the
days of Police do Leon's Htr.i*eh.
Air is a necesmry oonaUtvietd. of all wa
tor that is potable. Boiled water must be
• burned in order to impregnate it with air.
Flat water is not digestible until, by agita
tion, it receives more oxygon, becoming in
this way uprated. Water must also con
tain certain salts that go in to make up
a part of the human economy. Phosphates
and lime are necessary for the formation
of hone. Hard water contains an excess
of lime, and it is used, just as lime-water
in milk, to great advantage in diarrlne.
Lime in this manner lias a tendency to
correct the acid excess. There are three
kinds of germs found in well water:
Those that are beneficial, con
suming carbon and giving oft*
oxygon; those that are harmless; those
that are baneful to health. These last arc
the micro-organisms of putrefaction and
set. ammonia free in the water. It is popu
larly believed that streams on whose banks
the water cress grows are wholesome,
while, on the contrary, the duck-weed
always is indication of a water of bad
quality. It is, too, generally known that
the water of streams which are barren of
fishes and mollusks are totally unfit for
drinking purposes. Iced water in moder
ate quuutitks is an actual tonic to diges
tion, stimulating the functions of the
glands. Of course when the stomach re
ceives frequent inside baths of it, conges
tion may natuarlly be a sequel to such
lavage.
Warm water does not quench thirst any
more than beer. It is too well known that
children who are drenched with hot teas
in evaptive fevers are always thirsty. The
water is the sole active agent in the teas.
Water is the best medicine to act on the
kidneys. An adult consumes in twenty-four
hours three quarts of water alone and in
Ins food. If more be drank, it must, and
does leave the system, but never enters the
blood. In excess water produces disassimi-
lation by diluting the juices. The entire
digestive canal through the mouths of the
glands absorbs liquids. Well water should
never be drank, owing to the fact that it
surely at one time or another will contain
germs of putrefaction. Cisterns that are
cemented allow no percolation from the
outside. Carbolic acid added to distilled
water is a delightful and invigorating sum
mer drink, even aiding digestion.

FARO DEALERS.
IVImt n Muii Must tin to RiTOttK 1 mi K\]n»rt llenli-'.
Denver Tribune.
“You nee th»t young man?” said a wall
known membur of tin; sporting fraternity
to a reporter. “Wi ll, he is onu of the.
most export faro dealers l have ev»r seen,
and you can bet l have seen many a stack
of chips distributed hy men of his profes
sion,’’ The yountr man In question, who
evoked such an encomium from the sport
ing man, appeared utterly unconscious of
the latter's admiring looks us ho carelessly
sauntered hy.
Continuing, he said:
“That man will never want for employ
ment; his expertness on the cloth of green
insures him a good situation so long ns he
seems disposed to work. It is really a
pleasure to see that man deal the cards, he
has a glance like lightning, and as ho runs
the cards he glances with marvelous
rapidity over the lay-out, und end tell in
an instant what bets to pay und take. Do ti
he make mistakes? Well, no, not he; he’s
too expert a hand at the business, and the
players can’t ‘nig’ on him. And talk
about keeping cool: why, man, I have
seen that fellow deal the cards coolly and
collectedly while men around him have
been frenzied with rage at loosing; knives
and pistols have een flourished, but that
dealer has never been known to have lost
his self-possession for a moment, oven.”
“Hu must receive a largo salary?”
“No, you are mistaken. No, my ideal
faro dealer, and most all others, work an
eight hour shift for $5. There was a time
when a good dealer could have edmnmnd-
ed twice that amount, but things are
changed now; there ure too many ofthem.
In Leadville, however, faro dealers are
rather better paid; but the doaler.s' har
vest is in Virginia City. There the dealer
draws the boss salary, t'welvo dollars a
day and a living off the draw is what they
make. You see, when they feel like eat
ing, they coolly slip out a “fiver” und
pocket it. That constitutes living out of
“the draw.” lint they can’t do that in
Dienver; the game wont work here. But.
you can only rely on a faro dealer earning
bis salary. It's hard work, too. Eight
hours steady sitting witli the monotonous
clicking of the chips and the muttered
curses of the losers continually ringing in
one’s ears weary a’man in a short time.”
“What kind of a man makes a good faro
dealer?”
“Well, you can gamble that he isn’t a
fool. Many of them are well educated
men. Some poor devil who gets stranded
out here has an aptness for cards, perhaps,
and a liking for the excitement of gam
bling. Now, what does he do? He can’t
go hungry, so he takes to dealing cards.
To he a lirst-eluss dealer a man must be de
void of nerves. He acts for the game just
as a wheel does for a wagon. He is a ma
chine, in fact. He mu.it he quick, and
never afford to get rattled. If he does he
is liable to make lots of ‘hulls’ in paying
and the house gets done up badly. Hy all
odds a faro dealer does the hardest work
in a gambling house. Yet, taken alto
gether, I think they are an honest set. Of
course, some of the hoys gamble on the
deal occasionally, but they ure very sly
when they attempt to piny such tricks.”
“How about the keno donlers and those
who preside at the rouge-et-noir tables?
Do they draw large salaries?” queried the
reporter.
“Well, they ure pnid differently. In
most places they are allowed a certain per
centage, and in others they receive so much
per day. Generally they get about ffi per
day.”
The writer then went to another well-
known gambling place in search of farther
information. As he entered the various
games were running in full blast, and the
tables were crowded with a motley crowd.
Hide by side stood men with the buoyancy
of youth depleted on their faces, and those
whose oounte'nanccs plainly told the hope
less struggle of a llfe'ime wasted in the
effort to win fickle fortune. In a corner
remote from tho swaying, excited
crowd sat a man with pale face and
emaciated form. As he sat in silence, [
doubtless pondering over an eventful j
career, his countenance suddenly bright- I
ened and his watchful eye glistened as '
he responded to tho reporter’s saluta- I
tion.
The man was , a once celebrated
faro dealer, who has dealt cards in tho
gambling rooms of all the large cities
from the Atlantic to Vancouver’s island. I
“Yes,” said he, “I have been a faro j
dealer. I’m broke now, but I haven’t for
gotten the game; oh, no! I have made
money, too, aud in my time 1 have em
ployed many dealers,” and the eyes of the
old sport glistened as he recalled the tri
umphs of previous days. Continuing, the
old dealer said;
“Pshaw! these faro dealers of the pres
ent day make me tired. I guess there are
a hundred faro dealers in Denver to-day,
hut out of that number there are not more
than half a dozen whom I regard ns deal
ers. Why, at the present time any man
can deal cards. It don’t require any brains
at all; that idea is all nonsense. Why, I
know of a fellow in Leadville—a common,
ordinary biscuit shooter—who one night
with a couple ot dollars in his pocket
bucked the game and won about iflOO. The
next day he sat behind a table big as life
dealing faro like an old-timer. That man
to-day is worth not less than $40,000. Yet
those who are first-class dealers now ure
more expert than the dealers of thirty
years ago.
“When gambling first began in Denver
it was when currency was unknown.
There were some few gold coins of vari
ous denominations, hut when a man
gambled he was always provided with his
little hag of gold dust. When he bought
his chips the dealer weighed out so much
gold dust, and the dealers soon became so
expert that they could tell almost at a
glance how much dust to take out of the
hag. Of course lots of the dust’dropped on
the sawdust floors used in those days, and
quite olten the sawdust was panned out,
and the hoys generally got considerable
for their pains.”
