A large rat got into our Henior’s house

did not appear during the night,
and our .Senior, who sleeps down
stairs, was aroused quite early,
with, “Missus says run quick and
get Kd’s Anger out of the trap!” He
hastened to the room and discovered
that his little boy, Kd, had found the
trap and was fastened in Its jaws. For
tunately the little follow had put the

NORTH A- HOtTH RAILROAD.
A ttlmple Plnn lo Purchau the Rond,
nnd n Novel Proposition Well Worth
Considering*
Co-operative effort is the order of the
day. It would seem that the various
attempts to control the North A South
Railroad by purchase and extension by
our own citizens are all about to fail.
Those who have the ability and means
to take bold of the enterprise are loth
to embark in the venturo. While all
admit tho advantages which would re
sult in the commercial prosperity of
Columbus, few or none are willing to
hazard the amount requisite to make
the trial. Therefore the writer has de
termined to suggest a plan which, to
say the least, may be considered novel
to many.
Let those most deeply interested
(and who among our real estate owners
and business men is not?) organize a
company consisting, say of 1,000 shares.
For each share let a payment of two
dollars per month he paid. Then let
this organized company take 1,000
shares in the Mutual Loan Association,
now in successful operation here. This
would increase the share list of the
Association to 2,200 shares — which
would make the monthly sales of
money 32,200, which would increase
each month by reason of discounts and
interest. The 1,000 shares thus taken
would enable the company to purchase
from time an advance on 3200,000, which
at the prevailing rate of discount would
it, say 3100,000, enough to pay for the
purchase of the road nnd extend it to a
point where it would begin to pay its
expenses and probably make a surplus.
The shareholders in the Company
paying 32 per month would pay to the
lose of the association, say 76 months,
3160 per share, for which they would
receive stock in tho road. The Com
pany would pay into the association for
cadi share lakon 31 per month and
reserve tho other 31 per month as a
sinking fund to pay interest to the
association, and the balance to be ex
pended on the extension.
Tho Company thus organized would
reap tho benefits of any profit made by
the association, and at the close of tho
association the road would belong to tho
Company, clear of any incumbrance.
How many of our business men
would bo willing to give, if need be, ten
or twenty dollars per month for tho so-
urity of having tho road owned and
operatod in the interest of Columbus?
If many of our citizens have been
able by tho assistance of tho Asso
ciations, heretofore and now in exist
ence hero, to procure themselves com
fortablo homos without tho outside as
sistaneo, why may not we unitedly buy
and control a railroad upon which our
city has already spent and lost 3200,000,
ami which may bo secured by a contin
uous payment of small sums for a given
time? Citizen.

ALABAMA.
Union Springs, Nov. 7, 1877.
Editor Enquirer-Sun: In my last let
ter, giving an account of the Alabama
State Fair, I omitted to mention the
fact that there wits on exhibition at the
City Hall specimens of different Ala
bama industries. The display was
grand and everything tastefully ar
ranged, which showed the evidence of
woman’s hand. The refreshments were
served by fair ladies to the hungry at
nominal prices. The proceeds of this
department went to tho Methodist
church, and from what we ean gather
a neat sum was realized.
SUNDAY NIGHT,
in company with an ex-Columbus gen
tleman, who by the way is all
‘Wright,” wo went to tho First Baptist
Church, and wore doubly repaid for
time and. walk, by hearing that noted
divine,
DR. HAWTHORNE,
who preached to a large and attentive
congregation. He is one of tho best
of Southern clergymen and truly a
servant of God. The rasping ho gave tho
Fair Committee, in regard to allowing
that gambling table on the grounds,
was well-timed and just. One of the
first sights that greeted his eye on en
tering tho enclosure was n drinking
saloon; the next was this “slick
tongued scoundrel,” whoso voice seemed
to have a subterranean recess, hallooing
Let her roll! Let her roll! Lot her
roll !” The Fair Association received
3700 from this party for the privilege of
“stealing 36,000.” So this divine justly
estimates it.
union springs.
In the pretty little town of Union
Springs we fouud a set (*f thrifty peo
ple, who seem intent on making it a
city. There are about twelve stores
here, that do a general merchandise
business, one or two drug stores, about
the same number of bar-rooms and two
splendid warehouses. Our intention
was to visit tho cotton factory, but
hadn’t time. While in the upper por
tion of the city, a friend invited us to
walk to “Sun-set View,” a distanco of
aboutjone-half mile. We went and there
beheld the most beautiful of scenery.
For thirty miles around you seo the
most magnificent forests, then acres of
cotton, corn and sedge fields, again the
stately oaks and pines loom up in the
distanco, divided by nature into what
might style parks, with crystal
streamlets. Tho effect of the different
colors, produced by tho setting of tho
great orb, on the surroundings was
magnificent.
If you ovor stop in this beautiful little
town put up at the Johnson House, at
tho junction of tho Mobile A Girard
Railroad and Montgomery A Eufaula
Railroad, where you will find tho best
of everything for tho “inner-man,” and
an accommodating proprietor, who will
take ploasuro in showing you tho
enery I have attempted to describe.
Tho train is ready for departure, so “all
aboard for
TROY.”
A great many changes sinco wo were
hero last; a bank, a number of now
brick and framo buildings. A new brick
liotol is being erected and will be open
ed by a gentleman from Ozark, Ala.,
on December 1st. Troy- has a largo
wagon trade and bids fair to be a city at
somo time not far distant.
A patent medicine man is hero hum
bugging tho nogroos. Ho is on a box
in tho middle of the public square, with
a large bottle of his “patent” dosing all
who are suffering. Tho “medicine” of
tho nearest bar had very had effect on
him and compelled tho marshal to in
terrupt tho gentleman. It is very
strange that tho negroes will never
learn any sense. Every humbug that
comes along gets their hard-earned
money.
In all portions of Alabama tho En-
quirkr-Sun is considered the best pa
per published in the South, and its re
markable low rates makes it popular

Dear Enquirer-Sun : We always like
to write pleasant news for your popular
paper, but in traveling through this
section a “kinder blueness” comes over
us to witness the general stagnation in
trade, caused by short crops of cotton
and corn. With the low price which
cotton now commands, a hard time
awaits both planter and merchant.
Many planters will not make cotton
enough to pay for fertilizers consumed,
and others have made scarcely corn
enough to last them sixty days. Add
to this tho fact that hundreds of negroes
in this county (Randolph) aro actually
doing nothing, but canvassing for their
favorites, day and night, in the contest
between Mr. W. M. Tumlin, and J. J.
McDonald, for Representatives in the
December election. Several planters
were in town to-day, trying to get ne
groes to go and pick cotton, offering
liberal Inducements, with little il’ any
success. For miles around Cuthbert,
night is made hideous with tho contin
uous hurrahing for Tumlin or McDon
ald.
During tho day a drunken set congre
gate in Futhliert on the streets nnd cor
ners trying to convince each other that
their man is the best. Tho contest is
hot and hitter between tho negroes.
Tho quantity of benzine which has
been consumed already would float the
steamer Wylly, with Walter Fry on
board, from the upper end of Broad
street to the Enquirer-Sun office. We
find few advocates in this section for
Atlanta to be tho Capital. Nearly all
are for Milledgoville, and thousands
who heard the able speech of H. H. J.,

Americas, a few nights since, are now
satisfied that Milledgoville will ho the
Capital. It was the most consoling,
convincing advocacy over vot made for
the Capital at Milledgoville.
Far loads of building material aro
now being contracted for to move with
out delay to Milledgoville. Away with
Atlanta, is now the password, and the
echo ho ! for Milledgoville.
Tho Superior Court is now in session
at this place, Judge Kiddoo, presiding.
