fortable; besidae,
improyemente which the older cars do
not poaaeea. This oar ia oalled the "Mil
wankee,” and will ran between this point
and Leulavtlle. It will be in charge of
that very clever and genteel conductor,
Park Woodruff, who so well understands
the art of making himself agreeable.
But to tbe excursion. it was <
'jumped up” affair, and boeeed in oon
junction by Vol. Donning and B. W.
Wrenn. And they are the beet once on
a "jump” that aver were scared up. The
party consisted of Gen. Austell, J. H.

Edward Platt, M. T. Phillip*, Samuel
Stocking, J. J. William*, John Stephen*,
CoL Boylfton, J*ck*on of the Constitu

special train left at 8 o’clock and made a
quick run to Vinings, about twelve mile*.
Thing* went nice enough op to this time,
but it w*a not until tbe party on it* re-
tarn (topped at Icevllle, and partook of
aeveral bottle* of "Uerdaiok,” that wit

Baum, the indefatigable Superintendent
of the works, exhibited to the excursion-
iats the modus operandi of manafaetaring
ioe, whioh he is doing on an extem-ive
aoale. (This ia a great piuoe for excur
sionists to atop a!. Just a little,
ice, yon know, mekee everything go
cool and nioe.) After inspecting the
works, the party returned to tbe oar* and
ware aoou at home. Before arriving,
however, a test of the power and (HI

Tha exouraioa was one of tb«M quiet,

HoM °f T. C. Mayaon, in which L.

This feeling we know to be eoiqmon
among competitors in business; but this
is about tbe first instance in our ac
quaintance with Atlanta business com
petition that an attempted rival had the
abeeh to admit the fact. As regard* tbe
oom par stive reputation of tbe Live Auc
tion Home and tnatof L. Nathans A Co.,
no better can be sddnoed than the fact
that the Live Auction House did sell a
lot of corn that had been pnrohased by
one of onr largest liquor dealers from L.
Nathans A Co., realising an advauee oi
nm pei oent above the amount reoeired
by them for the. same, and this, too, on
the same day; and, further, that said
oorn wm pure 1 ! wed by one of our most
prominent grocery men, paid for
promptly, and the money turned over as
requested. These facts ii Nathans A Co.
mw proper to omit in their statement
yesterday, and we merely give it now in
justice to the veracity of the gentleman
who engaged us to sell the corn for him,
the artiole ret erred to asserts:
“ Tha information given you, m ap
pears by your artiole, is iuoorreot; May-
son did not get SO cents per bnsliel
lot the 2,000 bushels sold by him,
and the other honre did get more than
80 cents for what they sold."
Aa to whather L. Nathans A Co. ever
sold any of the oorn mentioned, which
wm consigned to them by the W. A A.
R. II, I know Dot; bnt that I did sell the
two Oar loads consigned to them, and
personally delivered the same in front of
their house on Alabama street, is a fact
beyond denial, and that a considerable
profit was made by the transaction is ap
parent to any one with even a limited
knowledge of arithmetic.
Tbe arrogance, of L. Nathans A Co. in
‘ 'averring' 'a matter that I leave to the pub,
lio to decide; that ia the business uapseity -
promptness and energy Ac., is only
equalled by the presumptiveueas of tbe
assertion of their own auperiot qualifica
tions in this line. If they, as a general
thing, misrepresent their goods at auc
tion, as palpably as they have tbe frets
in this care, we flatter ourselvee that the
competition will be m short-lived as the
position they plaoe themselves in to . rid
iculous to the publio.
I have no doubt but L. Nathans A Do.
possess sufficient expertness for tbe
amount of business they do, and if their
succeea ia dependent upon a capacity
auoh m they have manifested in this
transaction we feel assured that the pub
lio will note this prominent feature in
their future relations with this firm. Now
as to the assertion that I did not get 60 cts.
per bushel for this oorn, I give the
statement on my books m follows: First
lot sold brought 62 cents; second lot 62
oenta; third 62 oents; fourth 61 cento.
There figures comprise the prioes re
ceived by me for tbe corn consigned to
a>* directly by tbe Western and Atlantio
Railroad. I am further preapred to
give the names ot purchasers if neoessury
Tbe following is ihe result of the sale
of the lot consigned to L. Nathans A Co
by the Western and Atlantio Railroad,
7611 bushels, for which I received 46
cents per bushel. I have been informed
that they sold the same lot on the 'soma
day for 30 cents per bushel, while I in less
than an honr afterwards realized 46 0601“
for it.
We give these faots and figures with
out farther comment, leaving it to the
