Jlatnaa Cleat tor Macon.
Heretofore, Macon haa obtained moat
of hor cool from the mines in North
Uoorgia and Tcuucasco. The ourrent
now appear* to be changed. In the laat
few weeks, considerable quantity baa
passed through this place en route fur
that point, from tho Montevallo, Alaba
ma, mines. Yesterday, we noticed at the
Southwestern depot, three care, laden
heavily with large lumps, destined for
Macon. It had been purchased by a Arm
tu tbs' city. Alabama ia the gainer.
When tl > Savannah and Memphis rail,
road ih finished this trad* will be ini-

Though nut the moat rapid business in
the world, tho city ia oolleoling in her
dues from the people. In county and
Htato matters. Undo Mike Thweatt is
stirring up the people to give in returns,
but it is up-hill work. The total returns
will be considerably lose than in 1874,
because of the real depredation of prop
erty. Taxes are to be lees. That ia one
consolation.
That New Wmrrhonee.
The excavations for the Warehouao to

turing Company, on cue of their lota, for
its own purpose—storing cotton and

J. S. Williams has the contract for
the tiriek laying. Mr. Derry haa the con
tract for making the brick. He haa now
at his yard a machine for the purpose,
which accomplishes a vast amount of
work. The house, wo bear, is to be

The New Hell Clapper—I'lre Metrirtt.
The new clapper to the fire alarm bell
was tried last afternoon by Chief Engineer
Williams and the oommittee of Council.
Some alight ehanges ero required before
it works perfectly. It is so arranged as
to make the ringing of lbs bell a very
Beay matter.
How few of our people know anything
about the five districts. There are four.
in the city. Oglethorpe and Ht. Clair are
tho dividing streets. When an alarm ia
sounded the bell is struck rspidly, and
then at intervals the district,succeeded by
more rapid ringing.
When you hear six taps, the fire is in
the immediate neighborhood of the
Market House.
Twe strokes means that the fire is in
that section west of Oglethorpe and north
of Bt. Clair.
Three strokes shows the fire oast of
Oglothorpe street and north of 8t. Clair.
Four strokes warns you the flames are
east of Oglethorpe and south of Ht. Clair.
Five strokes indicate fire west of Ogle
thorpe and south of bt. Clair.
If you have not a card with the district*
marked off, you had hotter paste this in
a eoovoniont place as a permanent guide.
The system is very simple and amply
suited to a place the sue of Columbus.

Columbus Saturday, go to Dainbridgo,

Columbus will lose somo trade by this
arrangement. Wo heard yesterdny of
ono party living below Chattahoochee
who desired to purchase $100 of' dry
goods in Columbus, but was unahlo to
ship them to their destination, and also
of a fow others who wished to buy smnll

Tho jocose conductors say it is so light
now as not to pay for the oust of supper

three hundred pounder is carried at the

conductors that people should bo charged

each railroad and its length in miles, and
each station thereon with tho actual dis
tance iu miles from ouo Btalion to the

Location of the Female College.
Wo received a communication on this
subject aftor dark last evening. As there
wero so many other thing* to do the
whole could not be set up and save our
mails, and healdos tho managers have
already aoloeted the place most suited to
their design, and the funds the; can ex
pect to raise. This last is a very impor
tant eonaideration. The place ohoaen ia
tho C. G. Holmes' lot. Tbia ia satisfactory
to those who will take the most bonds.
Wo howovor give the pnrport of tho
communication:
Ilealtbfulness, comfort and beanty and
durability of structure should determine
the choice. The beautiful house* of
Mosers. Cook, Howard and Holme* have
boon extolled, bnt they are not so desira
ble as somo others. Tbe Perry House is
an imposing structure, and can be pur
chased obeaply. It would answer every
purpose, and uo other building wonld be
required. The surroundings are not so
repulsive as some have suggested, nor so
costly they oannot he rid of.
Tho Court House is very central and
grounds attractive. The oity and oonnty
might give op tbo bnilding for ooliego
purposes, and with the bonds erect a
a Court House nearer the eity. The
writer thinks tbe residence of Col. H. L.
Mott the most desirable in business. He
highly oxtolls the besnty of the plsoe,
tho ornamented grounds snrronnded by
a high brick wall, the river flowing in
front, and the green abovo which could
bo converted into a park. The honse has
twelve largo rooms, supplied with gas
and boated from basement to dome with
stosm.
The writer argnes liberality on tbe
part of capitalists, that a college may be
eatabliBhed on a grand soale, and the
bond holders eleot a Board of Directors
to control fineness, end eleot a President
and a corps of Professors, who will re
flect credit npon tbe aollege and inspire
confidence among tbe people. He alto
alludes to the advantages of home educa
tion.
Wo inform onr correspondent that
tho committee have universally adopted
a plan.and citizens will be applied to for
to tBke bonds. The property purchased
is to be deeded to Mr. Glenn, who is the
leader in the enterprise, and the bond
holders take a mortgage on the property.
He has all to lose, and should, the com
mittee think, have hie own assistants. He
is also the one most interested in the sue
oesa of the instltntion, and labored hard
est to have it established.
Way lo get Freight Money.
Wo heard this yesterday. The boata
that send goods on the Jacksonville, Mo
bile and Pousaoola road at Chattahoochee,
on return trip got the money for freights.
Coming, up the Jnlia stopped at Chatta
hoochee as usual. A young man,
tho son of the general agent at that
point, came on board and desired to
go up tbo river, saying his father WAS
absent and tho $500 of freight money had
not been received. After shoving off and
going half a mile, Captain Whiteside
ordered tho boat to return to Chattahoo
chee, and ho went to the office on the hill,
where ho was told by an employeo that he
had seen tho railroad conductor hand tbe
young man a package the day before. In
the meantime the youth had left the boat
and gone ioto the swamp, having eluded
the vigiluuco of those iu charge. Whether
he bad the money or not ia another ques
tion. Hie name ia Bob Dickerson.
The Clan Hanning.
\ This boat is now on the boxes near tbe
hospital undergoing some repairs. She
had to go to that point to get water deep
enough. The river along the city front
ia very low. We are told that it cau be
waded in many places.

ply a good many more, and are attainable
by tbo daily nao of Hostetler's Btomach
Bitters. Tbe stomach that ia invigorated
by that ruling tonic rapidly disposes of
the food committed to it, and at the prop
er time craves for more with natural
oarneatneaa, and the brain from whioh
l>ain and despondency have been banish
ed by this salutary anodyne and cheering
cordial,! enjoys at the hour of net that
tranquil, dreamless repose for whioh no
other boon that Providence can bestow
can compensate. Besides these most de-
airablo results, the entire physique ia
strengthened and fortified against the at
tacks of disease by this splendid vitaiizer
aud protective agent, which, take it al
together, ia about tbe moat deeirabre, aa
it ia unquestionably one of the tbe moat
popular medioines in exiatenoe.
