4'hrlatma* Symptom*.
That which met everybody’s view
yesterday and caused cheerfulness and
general comment, was the large num
ber of country and city people on
Broad street trading. We suppose that
every one was buying something for
Christmas, as many frequented con
fectioneries. In fact, we know that
fully one hundred were getting “Christ
inas” because we saw them sitting in
their buggies with their heads bent
down between the scat ami the dash
board, and upon investigation we no
ticed that they were shoving the jug
underneath the seat. If wc had never
hoard of Christmas we would have
known that it was coining this year at
any rate.
Another sign of the Great Event
(that’s a good word, so to speak, and
one by which we knew it was bound to
come,) was the little balloons in u bunch
that were floating up and down the
street. Nearly every countryman had
one tied to the back end of his wagon.
Especially did we notice one little red
and a blue balloon amusing one fellow
who was more peculiarly inflated than
his buoyant toys. He was too “weary”
to stand, so you may imagine him lying
upon bis wagon, to which was tied bis
“buoys,” very much interested in talk
ing to the same. He was abusing the
Earth, he said, because she had turned
around so rapidly as to burl him
from the aforesaid coil—that was
the blue balloon. His head, you
know was swimming. Eventually
he discovered the red balloon bumping
the blue and then sweet consolation
poured into his “spiritual" soul. Ho
then began to tell the red that, although
she had thrown him oil', she would got
h—11 knocked out of her bv Venus, the
beautiful rod.
Wc also noticed a blind man with a
luiml-organ grinding familiar airs. Wo
couldn’t discover the monkey,although
a few present saw a whole managerie
of monkeys and snakes. This was due
perhaps to the warm drinks they had
been taking during the day for their
“bad colds.”
Ob,the boys had lots of fun yesterday.
The FeMIvnl.
The managers of tlio festival have
gone to work manfully and perfected
their arrangements for a grand success.
The gift enterprise will be worthy of
the price of tickets. Some of tlio prizes
are valuable. A lady’s gold watch, a
diamond ring, a beautiful sot of gold
jewelry, a China tea set of forty-four
pieces, clocks, toilet sets, tine platod
ware, etc., arc among them. Each will
be drawn by a ticket costing only fifty
cents. The place to got your money’s
worth is at the festival next week.
One gentleman lias presented the
committee with a beautiful pair of
chromos for the drawing. Others have
promised to aid. Thoro t is scarcely a
merchant but can give something from
bis stock that will help towards tilling
up the prize list, and we trust they will
not be backward iu making themselves
known.

The new pastor of St. Luko church is
spoken of favorably by all who know
him. He is now in Thomasvillc,
where lie lias been stationed for the
year past. All places where he lias
boon earnestly desire his recall. We
are told that lie graduated at ()glethorpe
University, and was a private in the
Second Georgia Battalion, is about
thirty-eight years of age ami has a
small family. He is possessed of one
of those characters which all esteem
ami admire, and which are such exem
plars of the true nobility and Christi
anity. He is a minister of marked
ability and influence and a preueher of
the highest class, and a man universally
esteemed and honored. Columbus is
ready to extend a most cordial welcome
to him.
C'redltnble.
We were shown on yesterday several
pairs of stockings,"knit by children in
the Orphan Asylum, which work was,
as far as wc can judge, done very well.
Miss Patterson is matron of the asylum
and teaches the children lmliits of in
dustry. They make their own clothes,
knit their stockings and do all work iu
house and kitchen. Tlio specimen
shown was the work of children from
seven to nine years.
The public are sometimes called upon
for aid in this worthy cause and should
respond liberally. The children arc
not raised in idleness, but are taught to
do all manner of house work, that they
may be useful women.

to the Supreme Court, and notwith
standing the Superior (’on rt has been
daily in session, Mr. George Y. Pond,
Ulerk of Superior Court, lias prepared
the papers in this case to be argued
before the higher court. The work was
long and tedious and consequently this

short time. He is very prompt, sys

Hull* Mile,
Last night about 9 o’clock all in this
otllce were startled by a loud explosion,
from what cause or whore was not
known. The devils headed by our
foreman rushed frantically out, looking
in all directions and stepping very cau
tiously. They rousted a sleeper up
stairs, who declared that it was just be
neath his room, They next visited the
collar, thinking it might have been
caused by spontaneous combustion, but
nothing was found out of place and they
returnod. A reporter ran around on
Broad street and made inquiries, which
resulted in hearing that it was the boiler
of a locomotive at the Western Ruilroad
yard. Ho repaired thither and ob
tained the following information :
The shifting engine, Richard Peter
was moving down the track, with only
ninety-live pounds of steam on, when
the boiler suddenly burst near the
center. Neither the lireman nor engin
eer was injured, the former sprained an
ankle from jumping off after tlio explo
sion. 'Phe end of a freight ear loaded
with cotton was torn off’ and the plank
scattered for a good distance around,
Tlio bell was found after a long search
near Mr. Spear’s residence, a distance
of about a half mile.
'Phe boiler must certainly have been
a defective one or it would have never
exploded with only ninety-five pounds
of steam.

city yesterday with eight bales of cot

tlio cotton buyers together and told
them that he would givo his “gobble
to the man who would pay him the
highest price for his cotton. He made
them swear against collusion and be
gan his auction. The cotton “went,’
and so did the turkey. The last cost
the purchaser about twenty dollar?
cording to the price lie paid for the cot
ton. He bore his laurels as bravely as
e’er did a victor at tlio games of Apollo.
'Phc question now is: What did you pay
for you gobbler?

GLEXNVMLLH IN A FOX AND VAT
HUNT.
The Memory of Moo Bsaseth; Not to
the Coaairory.
Editor Enquirer-Sun: This morning,
the 18th day of December, in the year
of Our Lord 1877, we herald to the world
glad tidings from here, as in the “Days
of Yore Ould Lang Syne,” and greet
you with cheerful spirits and grateful
hearts that there aro evidences of life
in the old land yet. It is an auspicious
and gala days. The sounding of the
mellow horn; the chivalric corpH of
horsemen were here; the Gambettas,
MacMahons, Von Moltkesand Bayards
of wild adventure and bolting saddle
habits, and advanced in esehelon to the
front, and old Glennville, rehabilitated,
arose like Phoenix up in her enthusi
asm to 36:30 Farenheit from yi frozen
barometer in the ice, and dusted, and
the sun jumped up from the nader to
the zenith upon the eastern horizon
with a grand and imposing scenic
splendor to shine away the darkness
from Held, hill and valley, to awaken
the octogenarian from the dreams of a
thousand slumbers, and champion
horsemen (our huntsmen,) from their
bivouac, whose inspirations and asper-
ations exceeded Napoleon’s at Leipsic,
Marengo and Moscow.
The old veterans, like Napoleon’s old
guard, were all in the saddle, ready for
the chase, followed by their aristocratic
kernels, Tray, Blanch and Sweetheart,
leaders, the choice in chase with their
rich singing suprano and alto voices,
echoing from the vales and hills of the
Kowlkees.
It was like carrying on a good-size
quarterly meeting, and weuns felt,
Agrippa like,almost thou persuadest us
to be a huntsman. We were greatly
refreshed with earlier memories of
sportive days enjoyed in old Greene
county, when the names known to
fame, Lundy, Hall, Brown, Billingslea,
Longstreet,Birdsong and Dawson, were
the heroes and champions of the Held
and chase, who were in their day and
generation considered the most expert
horsemen and successful hunters in old
glorious Georgia.
But, however, this hunt embraced
President Hayes’ Southern policy, it
was a unification of the Southern
chivalry, Methodist, Catholic, Presby
terian Baptist, hard and soft-shell,
worldlian and all, affinities of har
monious natures. Huntsmen, for
instance, there were Capt, A. M., Col.
