ILL SORTS OF LITTLE LOCALS
They Are None the Lees Interesting
Short, and Their Importance Should
Not Be Underestimated.
No Shows In Birmingham.
The opera house in Birmingham has
been closed for the time being, and all
the companies for weeks ahead who had
dates there have cancelled. The rig d
quarantine enforced by Alabama has been
the cause,
Temple to Be Repaired,
It is probable that the work of repair
ing the Masonic Temple will begin
B hortly. The upper part of the building
was badly d rmage by fire several weeks
ago, and it will take a snug sum to
restore it to its accustomed symmetry
and beauty.
The Cotton Market.
Yesterday was another lively day in
wagon receipts of cotton. The better
prices prevailing this week have caused
farmers to rush their product to town,
and sell. Middlings sold for yesterday 6|
while better grades brought 614. It is
expected that the receipts today and to
morrow will be heavy.
Dry Over Cotton Belt.
The weather bulletin issued from At
lanta for the 24 hours ending at 8 a. in.
yesterday covers reuorts from 127 points
to twelve central stations over the entire
area of the cotton belt. Not a drop of
ram fell at any point, and Chattanooga
was the only city to report “partly
cloudy.” The drouth extends over the
entire south, and a large section of the
middle west.
Chestnuts Coming in
Two or three wagons from the
mountains of Fannin and Pickins
brought several bushels of chestnuts
to the city yesterday. They found a
ready sale for 10 cents per quart. The
nut is said to be plentiful this year,
and large and free from worms. Frost
has already fallen in the mountains
of the upper counties and the ground
under the chestnut trees is covered
with the succulent nut.

Busy Season Fpr Compress.
Up to the pnsent the cotton com
press has not been used to its full
capacity, because the staple has been
tarday in coming. But judging from
the receipts here the past two days the
terrifying snort of this monster will
shortly be head night and day. They
have been compressing only 300 or 400
bales per day. An ordinary days work
is 800 bales per day, but in a rush 1,000
can be pressed.

Prof. Romig, the aeronaut, who has
been making the balloon ascensions at
Mobley park, told a Tribune reporter
a very interesting fact yesterday.
“When I reach the highest point
;mt before I release the parachutes I
find the air very moist. I estimate
tbat it is about 10,000 feet above
terra firma. I have rarely found such
conditions when rain did not come
pretty soon. This, however, may be
an instance where all signs fail.”*

BSNBER FROM FIRE,
The Extreme Dryness of Everything Makes
a Col fligration Easy to Start,
Fires are becoming frequent now,
though fortunately the promptness and
efficiency of our fire department has pre
vented a large number of them from be -
ing of a serious character.
Theie were two still alarms yesterday,
both of the threatened conflagrations be
ing near the yards of the Rome Railroad.
The first was in the morning and occurred
in a small shanfy near Graves coal yard.
No I’s responded to the call, but the
hands near had nipped the blaze with
buckets of water before the fire boys ar
rived. Damage trifling.
Owing to the extreme dryness of every
thing a conflagration is easily started.
Every one should use extra precaution
now about handling matches ot fire in •
any shape.

New Departure in Revival Services.
Frank Small, brother of Rev, Sam
Small, and advance agent of the Marie
Bell Opera company, has tendered the
services of thirty-five pink tight girls to
Rev. Sam Jones to furnish music for a
revival which he is to conduct at Hen
derson, Ky., Oct. 17. Some of ths pious
people of Henderson have frowned upon
the proposition, but Mr. Small assures
the kickers that his girls are about on a
par with ordinary Christians. It would
be interesting to know just what const!
tutes an ordinary Christian in the eyes of
Mr. Small.
