Several of our leading citizens met at
office of J M Russell, Esq., yesterday
morning to take into consideration the
purchase of this road, it being under
stood that Governor Colquitt would be
likely to accept a proposition that would
not bo onerous upon the purchasers.
Col W L Salisbury was chosen chair
man of the meeting and Mr Wm Redd
acted as secretary. After a full and
free expression by the meeting, a com
mittee consisting of Geo P Swift, Sr, 0
A Redd, John L Mustian, J P Manley,
and W A Little were appointed to can
vass the city for subscription* to pur
chase the road. If these gentlemen
succeed in securing $40,000, payable in
installments, there will be no difficulty
In the purchase ami securing an exten
sion to Chi pi ev Station, 32 miles from
Columbus.
Wo hope our citizens will put down
their names with liberal subscriptions.
If so, the day of unjust discriminations
will be doomed, and Columbus, instead
of waning, will be one of the largest
inland cities of the South.
■•thMllH ApMlsIstrsO for ('olnmbni.
From our special dispatch we learn
that the South Georgia Conference has
adjourned.
Rev. A. M. Wynn has been appoint
ed Presiding Elder of the District. We
are truly glad of this. He is one of the
purest and most lovable men it lias
ever been our good fortune to meet.
Ho has lived here as pastor of the prin
cipal M. K. church in former years,
and endeared all to him by his rare
tact, courtesy, excellent sermons and
zeal for his Master. He is a ministor
whom saint and sinner can alike wel
come, for his daily life is on illustra
tion of Christianity. As a man, minis
ter and citizen, we in common with all
our people welcome him back to Co
lumbus. We hope he will make Colum
bus his home.
Rev. J. O. A. Cook is assigned to St.
Luke Church. He has never been hero
before that we can remember, but is
spoken of as a preacher of ability and a
man of influence.
Rev. l)r, J. 8. Key returns to 8t.
Paul's Church. Some of the Guest ser
mons we liavo over heard have fallen
from his Ups. He has been living In
our city some months.
Rev. J. V. M. Morris, a minister who
works with a will and zeal, goes to Gi
rard and Trinity.
We hope to give In this paper all the
appointments, hut at the present writ
ing, 1 a. M., fear we will not.
BM(h ttf J. A. Kcrime.
This gontleman, aged-ahout 41 years,
died yesterday afternoon of consump-
tion, at his residence in this city, lie
had been quite feeble for a number of
months. He leaves throe little chil
dren without the ministering hand of a
loving mother, for the unfortunate vh*-
Ration of insanity has taken her away,
perhaps never to be restored to them.
The deceased was a German by birth,
a merchat tailor and. a member of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
His remaiue will be Interred this after

kins, is recovering from his wound,
although he is in quite a critical condi

Mayer’. Com rl.
Fannie Thomas, colored, charged
with fighting, was lined $7 60, or ton
days on the chain gang. Good for
Fannie.
There is a city ordinance allowing the
Mayor to sentence the disorderly to the
chain gang in default of payment of
line, and it is going to Vie enforced by
the present incumbent. Wo have his
word for it. In consequence of ids de
termination iu this direction, we hope
to see every street in our city tn per
fect order within the next twelve
months, or this disorder stopped, or
what is still hotter, the city divested of
the numerous vagrants. We do really
wish that there were some sure means
of getting at these idlers. There arc
fully one thousand negroes mid some
white people who do nothing and live
upon the earnings of others. The streets
are full of them. Any one can aee
them dally. Would that there could
be a more stringent law for these va
grants. The Mayor will Ane heavily
those who may be at his disposal. His
collections from his courts last week
amounted to about thirty dollars.

'Tis said of the little nocturnal peBt,
the bed-bug, that at “nest-hiding” ho
excels Beecher; as a sucker he is su
perior to tho cupping pump, while he
equals Lydia Thompson at “drawing.”
It Is rather strange that they refuse the
blood of a laily who has the hysterics,
or who U prostrated with any chronic
femulc complaint. Now it strikes ns
that all ladies, who are afflicted as above
indicated, should ut once resort to the
use of that wonderful female medicine
known as English Female Bitters, and
be cured of these female troublos, that
they may furnish 'good wholesome
blood-food to the poor starving bed
bugs.
Full particulars can be had of Bran

is fast being taken away from New
York city by the establishment of
jobbing houses lu Chicago, Cincin
nati, Bt. Louis, LouisviUe, Toledo,
Buffalo, and other interior cities,
The sales of Field, Lieter A Co., of
Chicago, last year amounted to over
$17,000,000, an increase over the pre
vious year of $7,000,000, and those of
other boutes in the cities mentioned
have been in like proportion. Many
new houses have recently sprung up
in those places, and are doing wel ,
and A. T. Stewart ACo. have thought
it worth their while to establish
branch in Chicago. A large propor
tion of this business is drawn from
New York city. It has been made
possible by the course of the trunk
railroads, whose through freight tariff
for several years has discriminated
largely in favor of the interior. On
the other hand, since January 1st no
less than eight important New York
concerns have gone out of business.

There is no time like the present.
So send ’em early—
Do not wait for the day before Christ

Unless you want them delivered the
day after it.
Don’t put preservea In same box with

If you must send eggs—Boil ’em!
They stand the jar better,
But don’t put jars in with ’em.
Don’t mark a box for Mrs. , care

It might cause trouble—
And don’t mark a box for the husband
‘care of” the wife—
It is sure to cause trouble.
Men have ordered silk dresses for—
their sisters—or their
Mothers-in-law—and carelessjmarklng

If marked to “care of anybody it will
be delivered to them only—
Be particular to put "Junior” or "Sen

He was going to give one to his father.

The rate of speed 1b different,
So are the freight rates.
Many a man has telegraphed “goods

And forget all about it, until next day.
This causa the disappointeed to ex

If you send a band box by express-
box it up!
A band box is more difficult to manage

Band boxes go rolling around and seek

Then we get into one,
Do not wonder if the neck of a bottle
comes olf
And empties contents over a flatiron

The Express Company would like to
deliver all goods just when wanted
It has been vehemently asserted that
“They all do it,”
This does not apply to the above, how
ever,
Very few do it, about Christmas time,
So ship your goods in time.

And we express their money just as

The United Cigar Manufacturer’s
Association has issued an address, the
following portion of which will be of
Interest to shtokers:
Aye now come to another branch of
the "modern” bo called “improved”
way of manufacturing cigars. Al
most every one who smokes has made
a trial of the cigars advertised in a
consplctous manner as “Warranted.
Havana filled 5c. cigars.” Suppose
the smoker is not accustomed to im-
lorted Havanas, he will say of such a
: lve-cent cigar that it can’t be called
an extra line one ; but then, be says,
it isn’t very expensive, aud for u
little money I have smoked genuine
Havana tobacco. Just this is the
point we want to come to. The inner
fillings of these cigars consist of to
bacco cut short by machinery, which
makes it the so-called scraps. These
scraps, according to the large-lettered
placards and labels, have been cut
from Havana tobacco. Leafy fillings
can easily be recognized by most any
body engaged in our business; but
these scraps, shorter than absolutely
necessary for work, cannot be judged
of, even by experts. We give tlie
,reader tlie assurance that is. the in
tention of the makers to de
ceive every one with tills short
stuff. We also assure the public that
the "Havana flavor” results only from
the fact that one-oightli of the filling
is taken from the refuse products of
Cuba, seven-eighths of tue contents
being grown within the domains of
Uncle Sam. A chemist who under
stands his business will for a small
compensation prepare the Havana
flavor needed In tlie manufacture of
these cigars. The cost price to the
manufacturer for cigars of this kind
is from $16 to $20 per thousand. They
are sold to retailers at about $30, net
ting the former a profit larger than
the imagination of the most infatuated
smoker would reach. Why, then,
would you pay five cents for one of
these cigars, when it isn’t worth more
than half that amount? Is it possible
that such impositions can so heartily
be supported by the public ?
The demand of smokers for dark,
possibly black cigars, seemed at first
to become an insurmountable obstacle
to cigar manufacturers. As nature
does not produce dark or. black tobac
co, chemistry must again be called on
for the relief. Wrappers are now
colored before manufacture, and the
finished cigars, even the lightest ones
are changed to a beautiful brown or
black by an application of tlie chemi
cal compound to their surface. That
such processes are necessary, we would
not blame the manufacturer, but the
smoker himself. The manufacturer
is obliged to find means to suit bis
customers. All that can be expected
of him is the confession that an arti
ficial coloring lias been used.
Reform MueNai Hayes Eaves.
The friends and admirers of civil
service reform under tlie Fraudulent
Administration may well point with
pride to the spectate now presented
In the Custom House nt New Orleans.
Anderson is acting Collector of the
Port, specially selected for that trust
by Honest John Sherman. AVells is
Surveyor of the Port, with one (foil
os Deputy Surveyor, and another or
namenting an inspectorship; and the
mulatto Kenner is deputy Naval of
ficer of the Port. Thus three of the
Returning Board rascals, with indict
ments hanging over their heads.and
the penitentiary in prospect, are
chosen to administer the most impor
tant offices In tlie gift of the Execu
tive in the Southern States.
They hold these places as rewards
for the frauds and forgeries pepetrat-
*d to falsify the vote of Louisiana and
to count in Hayes, and for tlielr rank
perjury in protecting Sherman and
the other confederates before the in
vestigating committees. ' While these
notorious scoundrels, whose very
names have become a synoiiyme for
all that is infamous, are thus thrust
into places of honor and profit, the
men who conferred the distinctions
upon them make open war on Sena
tors and Representatives who only
ask for an honest enforcement of the
civil se'rvlce rules, and that removals
shall not be made without cause.
In New York Mr. Arthur aud Mr.
Cornell are removed from office, so
far as Executive power can reacli
them, without a charge of any kind
against their competency or character.
In New Orleans Wells, Anderson,
and Kenner, blackened with crime,
and convicted, by tlielr own confes
sions, of stealing the vote of Louisi
ana, are lifted over tlie protests of tlie
whole people Into the highest of the
distinctions, and charged with
the custody of tne pub
lic revenues. This Preform on the
model of Hayes, Evarts, aud Hcliurz,
regularly patented, the genuine
article, and advertised, like Helm-
bold’s ouchu, to cure all the ills that
flesh is heir to.—N. Y. Sun.
