Funeral Invitation.
The friends and acquaintances of'Mrs. Blank¬

vited to attend the funeral of Mrs. SUSAN
BOUNDS, THIS (Friday) AFTERNOUN at
4 o’olock, from the residence of Mr. Hughes.
t&fHaving recently added to my stock
of Furniture a full line of Coffins and
Burial Cases, I will give this branch of
the business the best attention, and sell
them lower than they have been sold here¬
tofore in this market,
aulo eod T. T. Edmunds.
A Good Move.
The Commissioners of Russell county,
at their meeting a few days since, destroy¬
ed “County Scrip” to the amount of $2,-.
503 75, thereby removing it forever from
circulation. This is a step in the right
direction, and we hope soon to see this
kind of currency entirely removed from
the money market.
Barbecue at Fort Valley.
Capt. J. E. Dense, of the Southwestern
Railroad, informs us that there will be a
grand barbecue at Fort Valley to-day, and
that Macon will be largely represented by
her warehouse men and merchants. It
will be a great day of rejoicing among the
people of that and adjacent counties, as
the crop prospects are good in that section.
Groceries at Cost.
Dry goods at cost” has got to be an
old story, but now we are to have a change.
Mr. O. C. Johnson, a young but enterpris¬
ing merchant proposes to sell his stock of
groceries at cost until further notice. This
is a rare chance, and should be taken ad¬
vantage of by all persons iesiring good
bargains. Read his advertisement.
Talbotton Branch Railroad.
Chief Engineer Frank H. Harris, of the
North and South Railroad, has recently
completed a survey for the proposed Tal¬
botton Branch Bailroad, forming a junc¬
tion with the former road at Kingsboro.
On this local page of presen t issue of the Sun
will be found the official report of the
survey, which will prove of interest to our
readers.
Columbus Mothers-in-Law Safe.
It having been reported in this city that
several married men had applied for pas¬
sage for their mothers-in-law, in the
Graphic Balloon that is soon to cross the
Atlantic, we telegraphed on to know if
any of these wretches live in Columbus.
The only one from the South, they reply,
lives in Atlanta. This will afford relief
to the mothers-in-law of our city, who are
the best of the kind in the world.
Death of a Former Citizen.
John F. Bosworth, editor aud proprie¬
tor of the American Citizen, Canton,
Miss., died on the (ith. He was born in
Augusta, learned the printing busines, in
this city, where he married Miss Augusta
S. Reeves, in 1846, and subsequently
published papers at Eufaula and Apalach¬
icola. Deceased was fifty-two years of
age, and highly esteemed by the commu¬
nity in which his last years were spent.
From Pike County.
The Troy "Messenger, of this week, cor¬
roborates our previously published re¬
ports of good crops in Pike county,
Ala., and ^lso states that Gen. E. M.
Law is lecturing throughout that section
in behalf of the “Patrons of Husbandry,”
and is organizing Granges. The same
paper announces the death, in that coun¬
ty, on the 12th, of Rev. Wm. McCarra,
and that the revival at the Baptist Church
in Troy is still progressing.
New Mode of Duelling.
It has been suggested, and we most
heartily approve of the idea, thftt a less
bloody and fatal, yet equally effective,
way to settle difficulties aud wash off stains
of dishonor, would be by the use of the
small Champion Fire Extinguishers, which
could readily be borrowed for the occa¬
sion. Should any more “pleasure excur¬
sions” go down the river, it would be well
for Capt. Johnson to supply the boat with
two of these Extinguishers,loaded for use,
in case such an emergency should arise.
Importants to Planters.
The enterprising officials of the Eagle
and Phenix Factory announce in our ad¬
vertising columns, to which we call the
special attention of planters, that they
have completed a new brick gin house,
and have added to their previous ma¬
chines a splendid double-geared eighty
saw gin, which will enable them to gin all
cotton that may be brought to them, with¬
out delay. They not only ensure prompt¬
ness, but claim to be able to gin the cot¬
ton in a superior manner, and at the old
rates. Planters will do well to call and
see for themselves.
Is it Right?
Several gentlemc- have asked us this
question in regard to the enforcement of
the hog ordinance. They complain that
hogs are allowed to wallow about the
business streets at all hours of the day
unmolested; but if a hog happens to get
out on the commons, where no one is
about, it is quickly gobbled up and taken
to the pound. All we know about the
matter is, that hogs are to be found daily
on our business streets, and we seldom
see any person interfere with them. We
desire to have the hog law enforced, but
it should be done with equal justice to all
citizens interested in its rigid execution.
Mayor’s Court.
Mayor Mclihenny held his court yester¬
day morning, and disposed of two cases.
William Randolph, a white man, was fined
five dollars for disorderly conduct and re¬
sisting an officer. Isaac Baldwin and
Josephene, his wife, colored, were dis¬
missed. it being shown that their quarrel
was a family matter.
A. Washington special of August 7th,
the Boston Globe, says: The
tor Chief Justice will probably be
within the next two weeks, as already
ted in these dispatches. The President's
mmd is believed to have settled on
ciate Justice Swavne.
TALBOTTON BRANCH RAILROAD.
Report of Recent Survey.
To the President and Board of Directors
North and South Railroad:
Gentlemen. Directions were given
about the 25th of June to make surveys
for a brunch road from your main line to
Talbotton. The result of our investiga¬
tions, together with maps and profiles of
the lines run, is hereby submitted :
The first line was commenced at Tal¬
botton, on July 4th, iu front of Persons’
Mill, running south of Gen. Bethuue's,
crossing the eastern prong of Lazer Creek,
(known as Wilson’s Creek.)some hundred
and fifty yards above the ford on the Co¬
lumbus road; thence south of Mr. Wil¬
son’s and on to the top of the ridge which
separates Wilson’s and Dismukes’ Creeks,
lhe line descending this ridge was in the
vicinity of the Columbus road, but at this
point the fall was so abrupt as to induce
the running of a second line further north.
This line was commenced, also, in the
town of Talbotton, near the residence of
Maj. W. A. Daniels, on July 7th. From
this point to Wilson’s Creek we are upon
a descending grade for about a mile and a
half. This stream is crossed with a grade
elevation above the water of about eight
feet. The summit of the next ridge is
reached with a light line, the road to
Hamilton being crossed jus-t at the top.
Dismukes’ Creek is crossed about eight
hundred feet above the ford of the above
named road.
The ridge which lies between Dismukes’
and the third prong of Lazer Creek—
known as Hinton’s Creek—is surmounted
without difficulty, the line lying iu the
vicinity of the Hamilton road aud cross¬
ing it at one point. After crossing Hiu
ton’s Creek the line runs parallel with that
stream for some distance, and following
along in the direction of its head we are
afforded an easy means of asceudiug the
ridge which separates the waters of the
Mulberry aud Osohatcbie Creeks. The
ascent of this ridge was tried by two dif¬
ferent routes, neither of which is attend¬
ed with anything of a difficult nature
The line farthest south was one quarter of
a mile longer than the other; but on this
the ascent was more gradual and lighter
gradients were employed. The first (or
most northern) of these lines reaches Neal’s, the
top of the ridge in front of Mrs.
on the Hamilton road.
Once upon this ridge, the country pre¬
sents a beautiful route for a railroad.
The natural advantage of a ridge will bo
at once appreciated, since the expense of
building and maintaining bridges and
trestles is obviated, while the item of
drainage is of much less importance than
where roads are constructed in valleys or
on slopes. The ridge was followed along
near the summit until we approached
Waverly Hall, when it became so broken
as to force us off upon the left slope,
where a good line was obtained.
The line passes four or five hundred
feet to the left of Pitts & Kilpatrick’s
store, at Waverly Hall, and thence is to
the left of the Hamilton road for two and
a half miles. Two miles west of Waverly
Hall we encounter an elevated point in
the ridge, avhich terminates in considera¬
ble spurs, both to the right and left. This
we were forced to run around on the south
side, and in getting back to the ridge a
ravine is met with which heads so far to
ihe north that the line could not be de¬
flected sufficiently to pass above it.
The line from this point passes on to
Hr. Terrenthin’s, where ltjies just in the
road. Thence to Mr. M Cullochs’ by a
very direet road. Here the ridge is much
narrower, and continues so to Kingsboro,
a distance of a about four miles. We
have very little choice of routes on this
portion of the road. Still, the ridge pre¬
sents nothing difficult, the line being close
to the wagon road aud crossing it in nu
merous places, About the end of the
twentieth mile the line diverges into
three different routes, and intersects the
line of railroad in as many places just
south of Kingsboro. By the shortest of
these routes the distance is 20.18 miles
from Talbotton, while by the longest it is
20.4 miles.
The survey of this line was completed
July 16th, and on the following day an¬
other route was begun from Oatauia, via
Ellerslie, back to Talbotton. This line
also has the advantage of a ridge for a
greater portion of the way, being that
which separates Standing Boy aud Osa
hatchie Creeks. This ridge, however, is
not so direct by far as that upon which
the Waverly Hall line was run.
Fur the first mile the line takes an east¬
erly course. Beyond this, the ridge turns
sharply towards the southeast until we
are near Ellerslie, when we are forced
again towards the northeast. Up to this
point the profile presents light work; but
beyond it is not so favorable; besides, the
deflections will be more acute in order to
fit the location to the natural formation of
ihe ground. lies the
Leaving Ellerslie, the line to
right of the Columbus and Talbotton
road, which it crosst s about a mile beyond,
and again at the second mile, Thence it
remains upon the right of the road until
it reaches Mt. Airy, where it crosses the
same obliquely and follows along near it
for a half mile, when it begins to diverge
to the left, and to descend the ridge into
the valley of the Osahatehie Creek, This
stream it crosses near its source and then
ascends the ridge upon which the Waverly
Hall line is located, connecting with the
same sta. 416, which is 7.8 miles from
I’albotton.
This line measures 22.5 miles, but may
be made more direct in several points. A
considerable amount of rock will be en¬
countered on this; besides, the profile
presents a more uneven surface than the
VVaverjy Hall line, as may he seen by ref¬
erence to the sheet. The air-line distance
from Talbotton to Kingsboro is 19.01 miles,
the line surveyed being in excess of this
1.4 miles, or about 7 per cent of actual dis
tance. The difference in latitude is 1.06
miles, Talbotton being south. By mag¬
netic parallel the difference aortlfr is only 315
feet, Talbotton being The differ
ence in longitude is 18.97 miles. The
air-line distance from Talbotton to Catau
la is I9| miles—the surveyed this line—22.51 miles.
miles—being in excess of 3.26
The difference in latitude is 1.95 miles—
Oatauia being south, The difference in
longitude is 19.14 miles. This shows the
Waverly Hall line to be far the most di¬
rect, as, that not only possesses the ad¬
vantage of material and quantities over
the other, but also that of distance.
I am under obligations for the able and
prompt manner in which Messrs. Billups
and Moore performed the duties of their
respective positions, as well as to the other
members of the corps. The surveys were
completed July 24th, having occupied
about 20 days, The total distance sur
veyed was 40 9-10 miles, Below you will

Things About Town.
A good joke is told on one of the pro¬
prietors of the “Artificial Stone Sidewalk
Company.” *
Broad street is soon to be improved by
the removal of the large piles of dirt taken
from the new sewer just completed.
Dr. Jacob Fogle, for many years an
honored citizen of Columbus, is now here
on a visit to his son.
Two short sewers are being run, from
Strupper’s, on one side of Randolph
street, and Chapman’s, on the other, to
the new Broad street sewer.
Strapper is putting a handsome brick
front to the two stores which he is now
improving on Broad street, formerly oc¬
cupied by the “New York Store,” and by
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machines.
It is said that the election of Lieut. R.
A. Bacon, of the Columbus Artillery Bat¬
talion, was due to the fact that he elosely
resembles the distinguished Chief of Ar¬
tillery of the Prussian Army.
It is expocted that “Artillery Punch”
will soon become a popular drink at our
saloons, owing to the unusual amount of
military enthusiasm that has been created
here during the past few days.

Taxes of Russell County for 1873.
The following is the official report of
the taxes of Iiusseil county for the year

Stricken with Paralysis.
A special telegram from Griffin, Ga.,
dated August 13th, states that Capt. J. 0.
Maugham, an old and respected citizen of
that place, and for a number of years
proprietor of the Georgia Hotel, was
stricken with paralysis on the morning of
that day, and was then thought to be in a
dying condition. Many of our older citi
zens will remember that Capt. Maugham,
who is about seventy years of age, for¬
merly kept a hotel in Columbus, and that
Major Roswell Ellis married his daughter
for his first wife.
A Free Press.
We believe in a free press, but not in
the same kind of a free press that news¬
paper spongers approve of—one that cost
nothing. Our recent article on this sub¬
ject seems to have waked up some of these
gentlemen, who think we are seeking to
destroy the freedom of the press. This is
a mistake. We do wish, however, to
break these persons of the habit of
stealing papers' from onr snbscribers’
doors, early in the morning, and from car¬
rying papers away from stores, at a later
hour, before the proprietors have had
time to read them. This is a daily prac¬
tice here in Columbus, and we know of
but few' meaner habits, when daily indulg¬
ed in bv a person well able to take a
paper and pay for it like a man.
Insectiferous.
• Our observations and experience during
the past few days have led to this result
—that we think a healthy, industrious
musquito will trouble a busy man more
than the duns of ail the collectors in the
city. Such a pestiferous little insect has
less manners than even the youngest of
these collectors, of whom a brother local
complains, for it not only presents its bill
at all times and under any circumstances,
but draws at sight. One lively musquito
iu a room where there is but a single poor
victim to operate upon, is very sure to af¬
ford that person all the recreation he may
need from his arduous labors.

WARM SPRINGS.
A “PLEASANT” WRITER’S VIEWS.
Pleasant Surroundings. Pleasant Com¬
pany, Pleasant Everything, and Pleas¬
ant Flirtations.
Warm Springs, Meriwether Go., [_
August 12, 1873. j
There is no feeling in this world like
that oreated by surcease of labor—the
sensation of delicious rest. No care upon
the mind; no thought of the morrow save
that no work is to be done; surrounded by
the beauty of nature, animate and inani¬
mate; with pleasant companions, a superb
climate, exquisite bathing—all unite to
render the soul as happy as happinss can
be. There is a freedom and buoyance
about the life of a quiet watering place,
richly enjoyable to the dweller of cities.
The Warm Springs are uote.d all over
the Gulf aud South Atlantic States. Situ¬
ated on a lofty knoll, surrounded by high
mountains, the atmosphere is delightful.
No mosquito jars upon the ear his exe¬
crable serenade. At night we sleep under
a blanket. The baths—plunge ones all
of them—are of a temperature of uinety
degrees. The chill of the waters is just
removed, and they are extremely light
and buoyant. One can enjoy them as
long as he pleases. If chalybeate water
be desired, a spring can be found near
the baths, which is strongly impregnated
with iron. We have never tasted stronger
chalybeate waters. On the hill near the
hotel is a well of almost ice-cold water,
as pure as can be found anywhere.
The table is furnished most excellently.
How could it be otherwise when Mrs.
Mustian, the elegant wife of the proprie¬
tor, and one of the most accomplished
housekeepers in Georgia, superintends 't
With such a table, surroundings, aud
every possible species of amusement at
hand, how can one be otherwise than
happy ?
The company here now numbers some
thirty persons, all like one large family,
numbering some of the most charming
and lovely ladies in the State. Each
evening there is a merry dance, to the
strains of a violin, whose gayest notes
are awakened by a mountaineer, whose
‘‘Sugar iu the Gourd" and other rollick¬
ing melodies, arouse all the dancing en¬
thusiasm there is in pedal extremities.
The piano, under the touch of some
bright beauty, gives forth waltzes aud
fancy figures by the yard.
By the way, what would we do iu this
world, were it not for the witching fascin¬
ations of women. We men claim to be
“Lords of Creation,” but many a lonely
maiden windes a "Lord” around her fin¬
gers, and he obeys when she commands.
Bobby Burns was right when he said of
the works of Nature :
‘ Her prentice han’ slic tried on man,
And lien she made the lassies, O.”
Speaking of dancing reminds me of a
story. A distinguished Confederate Gen¬
eral was here not long smee. A rather
rapid married lady from another State
approached, aud touching him on the
.-moulder, requested him to waltz with her.
He declined poli.ely, She urged him,
when he replied : “Madam, no\v-a-days
I engage in hugging only one woman, and
that is my wife.” She lot him alone.
La Grange is very handsomely illustrat¬
ed here by some of her winning maidens.
The road from La Grange to this point,
is kept iu good condition by visitors to
the Springs from that place. Some ap¬
pear to be hard hit, aud some of the Co¬
lumbus gallants are suffering. There are
pleasant drives around, and many a nook
in which love-making can be conducted
in the most approved style. Buggy rides
to the “View” are frequent.
Now this “View” is a very high point,
to which a good road leads. The riders
out go there ostensibly to see the rich
valleys below, and endeavor to find Look¬
out and Stone Mountains, which are said
to be visible on clear days. The pairs
who go up return looking happy or mis¬
erable, according, we suppose, to the
success they had in looking aud finding
what was desired.
This must be u healthy country. A
man cultivates a farm near the “Gold
•Spring”—a famous volume of ice-cold
water about a mile away. He told us he
had eleven persons in lus family, and that
iiis medical bills for over two years had
not amounted to two dollars aud a quar¬
ter. Doctors starve in this neighborhood,
aud shun it.
The fire of three years ago proved very
destructive, but there remains about
fifteen cabins and the large two-story
house known as the “Castle, Iii this
last, building the dancing aud dining take
place.
Columbus has quite a large delegation
here, she having sent some of her sweet¬
est maidens, loveliest married ladies, and
most elegant, gentlemen. Among those
here are Major Calhoun, editor of the Bn
quirer, and his beautiful wife and her
sister. The Maj >r is one of the most
brilliant of conversationalists and pleas¬
ant of companions.
Our euchre party played forty-nine
games this morning. Of course there
was grumbling about hands, but as
our genial and popular friend C. ob¬
serves, all card players complain this year
about the hands they hold—that it is a
bad year for cards to ran right.
Mr. Tidmarsh, who is such a favorite
with everyone who visits this place, is
still at his post aud strives to make all as
comfortable as possible, and he succeeds.
A fishing party has been arranged for
to-morrow, and a trip to the Chalybeate
Springs the next day. Here, we have a
larger party than at any of the neighbor¬
ing watering places. Everything is cosy,
pleasant and, as the young ladies say,
“nice.”
I am going to hear the mountaineer
play his fiddle, and watch the dances and
flirtations.
The “fellahs,” unless they have a pocket
lined with greenbacks, can’t afford to do
other than flirt. One looks at the fair
creatures and feels as the man did when
he ruis-ed catching the trout—“’To’od ’a
cost more blitter to cook him ’an he’s
worth.” It takes a whole piece of goods
to cover a girl now-a-days, and the grass¬
hopper mode will require more. It is
pleasant to see tine young girls sitting
like shopkeepers behind their goodH, wait¬
ing, waiting and waiting, and no cus¬
tomers; and the men lingering around
looking at the goods, like folks that want
to be customers, but havu’t the money.
Good night. “Yours.”

City Light Guards.
A called meeting of this military organ¬
ization was held last night at the Ilall of
Eugiue Company No. f>. Capt. 0. J.
Moffett presided, supported by other offi¬
cers of the company.
The following gentlemen were duly
elected as members: W. I. Robinson, C. I
E. Brooks, John King, 3d, J. H. LaHatte,
C. H. Markham, E. B. McKendree and
Augustus Rahuie.
Lieut. Brooks, chairman of the com¬
mittee appointed at the previous meeting
to ascertain if guns suitable for tempo¬
rary use could be secured, reported favor¬
ably. Guns can be obtained at a very
low figure, sufficient for the entire mem¬
bership.
On motion of private F. S. Chapman,
the initiation fee was placed at one
dollar, and quarterly dues at. the same
amount. Other matters of finance were
refejred to the committee appointed to
prepare by-laws for adoption at the next
meeting.
The resagnitions of Reese Crawford,
Esq., and Dr. J. C. Cook, were tendered
to the meeting and accepted, as these
gentlemen have connected themselves
with the Artillery Company now being or¬
ganized in this city, and the by-laws do
not permit them to belong to two compa¬
nies at the same time.
Private F. S. Chapman, for seventeen
years an efficient member of this veteran
organization, made a most earnest, prac¬
tical and eloquent plea in behalf of the
future prosperity of the City Light Guards,
of which he was once an officer, and for
which, in the humble position of a pri¬
vate, he should ever seek to do his whole
duty, and meet all demands made upon
him, promptly and- cheerfully. His re¬
marks were well received, aud must result
in great good to the organization.
Important Decision.
The Macon Telegraph, of yesterday,
reports that the tax case between the city
of Macon and the Central Railroad Com¬
pany, was argued before J udge Barnard
Hill, on Wednesday. Th e city claimed
taxes on the Macon and Western Rail¬
road shops located in that city. The road
plead exemption under an act of 1839,
exempting so much of property of the
Central road as was necessary for the op¬
erations of the road. The case was argued
by Messrs. Lyon and Irvin for the road,
and by Mr. C. W. Jemisou for the city.
Judge Weems, associate city counsel, was
engaged in his own court and did not
speak in the case. Judge Hill decided
that the property is liuble to taxation.

ly poisons, and even when taken in very
small quintities, re-act violently upon the
