5 '.'LoujI Hipp*nlny* of the Wo'uk in Brownc- vilio and Girard. l,et Then* Light— Cull of ft Nmr llinistor A RpwSwret Sorloty—(Jh-ftrd Gltmihiw—Pmon. «,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. Harried Last Sunday, at the residence of the bride, by Justice Tucker, Mr. I. N. Kinnett to Miss Lula Finley. 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. Browneville Briefs.. There were no interments the past week. The doctors report a decided improvement in •the health of the people. The fatted’possum is coming in fashion, and the end of the turkey draweth nigh Rev. Mr. Cummings will officiate at Trinity this ' morning and night. , Mrs. Emma Bramm, widow of the late Thomas Bramm, died at her home in Browneville last Monday. The river has risen several feet, and the atmos phere is quite salubrious since the recent showers. There were one or two light freezes the past week, but it is earnestly hoped there will be no zero visitations this winter. The marshal informs us there has been a good deal of work ou the streets during the past few -days, and their condition has been greatly im proved. The temperance people have a rally every Sat urday night, and the cause in Browneville is said to be quite flourishing. Water hydrants aud lamp posts would add much to the comfort, convenience aud safety •of Browneville aud Lively. Let us have a few of “each. Allrock’s Porous Plasters fifteen cents or two for a quarter at Dr. Mc- Cutcheon’s Lively Drug Store, Lively, Ala. GIKARB GLEAM IBS. dlonc Where the Woodbine Twineth—News Mutters 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. News Notes. Mr. George Garrett, of Macon, is visiting rela tives. Several fines were collected from disorderlies this week. The windows have been put in and a belfi.Y is being erected on the new Baptist church. More money is needed to make the enterprise a suc cess. The tax collector will visit Girard next Thurs day and Uvel / next Friday. Last call. Rev. Mr. Gumming will probably hold thanks- .gifingservi es at the Girard M.

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.

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. TOWN LOTS For Hale at Waverly SSnII, Georgia.

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. In Honor of u l oliimluiN Girl.

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.” ronifressiimn A runt’s Dentil.
