Communities no Iosb than individuals have specific duties devolving upon them. Cities arc hut an aggregation of individ uals. They arc called into existence by that inherent social sentiment born in the human soul; and preserved by that mutual interest and dependence which closer contact gives. The quicker ex change of labor and values, the projec tion that organization secures and the mental and social improvement incident to increased opportunities are the dis tinguishing traits of a city. If then a comity of interest, mutual progress and mental culture are the exponents of such a community, there rests upon each man certain responsibilities he should cheer fully assume and quickly perform. Dr. South has said, “ If there be a truer measure of a man than what he does, it must be by what he gives.” So that he reaches highest and approaches nearer the ideal of manhood, if he both performs and gives. No consolation ever offered hu manity approaches that of a conscious ness of having done something during our probation here. Holy writ has spoken the words, “It is more blessed to give than receive.” Then it fills both the measure of human and divine commands to take on the majesty of work and give freely to that which deserveth well. Notwithstanding there is high author ity for the assertion, it is not true that “all men are horn free nnd equal.” To some men there is given a breadth of thought, a bower to grasp, an ability to execute that challenges admiration and looks long for a counterpart among their fellows. But as it is given to eaeli man, so shall it be required of him. It behooves us then as citizens of the same city to ask ourselves if we are doing the full meas- me of our duty. There a e two ways to live in this world, the one decrying inno vations and having narrow mindedness for its watchword, the other with pro gress on its banner and energy as its mo tive power. Bill Arp has said that there is great hopes for any town which lias one active man. .But we are confident it would ho better for that town, as it would have been for the doomed city Lot pleaded for, if more than one could be found. One brave leader is worth a thousand men, but the men must be there if the leader is to assail a stronghold. We have taken in now life in the south. As uyual Georgia leads the host, and conspicuous iu this march is the fair city o! Columbus. Unity of action means a conquest of all obstacles. A liberal hand turned toward public enterprise, means quick and complete success. No adver tisement ever was so potent as the legend that ours is a live town. We have this reputation ; we should maintain it. Tire new year will soon be hero. It will open with Columbus in the full-tide of prosperity. New opportunities will come with 1X87; when they do we should look beyond the present in our meas urement of them and beyond self in the fulfillment of our duty. The dying year leaves us pleasant memories of our ac complishments during the past twelve months and renewed hope for the future. A pull altogether will place us safely upon the pinnacle of success, admired by our peers and an example for imitators. of the different churches impartially, and this, it is observed, is the characteristic also of tlie body of the membership. It is easy to he seen that siTch an organiza tion as this acting in the midst of a com munity as plastic and responsive as that of this city will have an important influ ence on the daily life of the people, espe cially young men, strangers and those who have no family restraints about them. Untold good will thus he accom plished in furnishing clean associations, innocent amusements, books and pur suits in consonance with the higher and better teachings of Christianity. It is their purpose to fit up a hall with all the modern surroundings of an elegant home, where young men can repair at all times to spend an idle hour or an evening. The temptation of the saloons, of cards, billiards and the like, are thus carried far away from our young men. This as sociation is intended to show them that there is a better life within reach; that there are warm-hearted men who would do them good rather than evil; whose sympathies go out readily to the young, and whose hands and hearts go with them in their struggles with the world, and for a higher plane of moral, religious and social excellence. It is believed by those who have given the entire question thorough considera tion, that a fund of$27)00 will accomplish all of this, nnd put the association upon a permanent and sound financial basis from the start. To this -end the execu tive board asks the people of Columbus of every denomination ami shade of opinion to help. Let all do something, no matter how much or how little. Let there be no drones in this work, hut rather let each give what he can. There are mothers in this city whose boys are coming up upon the threshold of man hood who are praying for the success of this enterprise with file hope that their lads will take the direction of the Young Men’s Christian Association rather than the saloons and gambling halls of the country, and we verily believe that the mnjority of the men engaged in the whisky business of this city would pre fer to see the young men go to the asso ciation rooms rather than the bar-rooms. This is a grand matter, and it will servo as much or more than any other influence to trim off the rough edges of sectarianism. It is not to take the place of or to in any way interfere with any church. .We are glad to see the leading business men of the city engaged ac tively in the work of this association. It is not only reassuring as to the quality of the work to be done, but it is a guaran tee of absolute success in the end. Men of this kind do not fail. They do not originate or conduct enterprises of doubt ful success, and their presence in this is assurance that its mission will be well performed. derly than the expensive tribute; and we a 1 know what objects in the treasury of mementos receive our tears in regretful hours—objects that have no value to the world, and yet that all the treasures of the world could not buy from us. Let all give something, ami have no care that the gift is inexpensive. If you fear your slightest present may not be well received, be sure that any gift you may send will bo appreciated in the spirit of the day, and that you will find it blesses vou.

The permanent organization of the Young Men’s Christian Association of this city constitutes an important step in the social life of Columbus. At its head etand gentlemen of the very first busi ness and social consideration, which, if the general nature or the organization was not so well known as it is, would be in and of itself a sufficient guarantee of the high character of the enterprise. The executive board have determined to raise $2500 by popular subscription to put the association upon a permanent basis. Of this amount $1209.50 have been contributed. The object Iras al ready been given the public. The asso ciation is to be entirely non-sectarian, and thfixoll of officers is mads up of members BUYING FOB OTHERS. Less than a week—only five days, and Christmas will be here. How much more blessed it is to give than to receive will be well illustrated during these five days. For several days past stores and streets have been thronged with people eager to make purchases of articles to be used as Christmas gifts. It is doubtful if a like crowd and crush would at any other sea son of the year be distinguished by such prevalent good nature—such smiling faces, such happy chatter. One who de lights in the study of character, who lias a fondness for analyzing the impulses of concourses of men, women and children, must esteem it a vast privilege to push through the throng, looking into faces and listening to bits of conversation. The holidays, and the few days pre ceding them, are a transformation period. When the fairy of the panto mime comes in and touches her wand to the mgs of Goody Two Shoes we rejoice to see tlie spangles and airy graces of fair Columbine, even though we may reflect that aft r the frolic is over the rags and the poverty may return again. In a higher sense Christmas is a fairy wand touching the rough hearts of humanity and producing therefrom the shining spirits of benevolence, good-will charity, unselfishness, and a great brightness spreads all around, gladdening the earth and improving the people of the earth. This custom of buying things for others as testimonials of good cheer, of love, of amity, is one among the noblest institutions of Christendom; and they most appreciate tlie fact who go about— as it is beautifully said of the good Fane- Ion, the humble French priest who lost himself in others—remembering the for gotten. There is a genuine thrill of pleasure in receiving a choice gift or some pretty souvenir, but it is merely momentary and empty happiness com pared with the gratification to the giver, who may cherish through the year the thought that he lightened the burden of the heavy laden, threw a gleam of joy into the life of some hopeless one, or made the bells of memory repeat the sweet chimes of other days in one sad heart. It requires very little to make the heart glad. Costly gifts are by no means the best. As a rule they illustrate a spirit of pride and affectation, a desire not to be outdone in display, not to be thought mean in expenditure. That which moat endears the token to the recipient is the sentiment of the sender; and os the widow’s mite in the old temple at Jerusa lem was more acceptable to the Lord than the carelessly deposited coins of the rich, so a simple token prompted by af fection, delicate sentiment, or loyal friendship ia often cherished more ten- ay and June 5 17-B4d June and July 5 20-64d July and August 5 !12-(S4d Tenders of deliveries lor to-day's eleu bales of new docket and 00 bales of old do Futures: Decembers 13-64 cl sellers; Deoember and January. 5 ll-64d sellers; January and Feb ruary, 6 ll-64d sellers; February and March, 5 12-64dsellers; March and April, 5 13-(i4d buyers; April am) May, 5 15-61 <I buyers, May and June, S 18-64d sellers; June and July, 5 2<H)4d sellers; July and August, 6 22-64d buyers.
