The Monument--The i.adies’ If’ork and
Their Decision ff’lff Satisfy the Ma
jor I ty.
The plan of building n monument In our
city to the Confederate dead, originated
with the ladles. Immediately after the war.
They organized themselves Into the Memo
rial Association, for that purpose, and It
ha* continued until the present time, as ex
clusively a ladles' association. To them
belong the exclusive privilege, free from
outside Interference or dictation, of deter
mining, what shall, and what shall not he
done In nil matters appertaining to the
monument. This right ought to ho respect
ed, being their reward / for the labor and
care bestowed on the scheme,
e are confident that a large
majority of tills community does and
will still acquleso In anything
they may do. We have faith In their doing
only what they conceive to be for the host.
lng that they will accomplish all that
any one can do—and no matter what outside
opinion or preference maybo It ought not
to Interfere. In regard to placing names on
the Monument, wo consider that tho ladles
have the exclusive right to decide whether
or not It shall he done and think they alone
should exercise their right and In doing so
have no doubt that a majority will be satis
fied with thdractlon. It Is proposed that the
roceptleln In the corner stone he made large
enough and bo open to receive the muster
roll of all Confederate soldiers, living and
dead, without reference to where they enllst-
en. These rolls either printed or on parch
ment will lost In nil probability us long as
the Monument stnnds.
The Great Corking Main.
The greatest cock main the Houth ever
knew will be fought In New Orleans, La., at
tho Spanish Pit, commencing on the 20th
Inst, The contestants are Kentucky and
Tennesseo against Georgia. We have pre
viously given an account of the birds. Ken
tucky and Tennessee haven celebrated bird,
which Is a cross between the old Kentucky
dominhjue and a Tennessee fowl; and the
Georgia the Mhnwlnock. For two months
dins Brown, of this city, has
preparing for the coming con-
find ouch day had one hundred
s exerdsed, fed, and otherwise made
ready for fighting. Yesterday In company
with his brother, Mr Win Brown, or Atlan-
Ivey, and tho woll known Pete, lie
left for New < frloans In u chartered car with
rat 7# or 100 cooks.
t Is said the other side are so confident of
winning that they nro belting five to one
the Tcnnesscp-Kentueky birds. Our
equally confident, and will probably

Vatcntlncs--Xuinher Sent—Falling Off.
csterday was HI. Valentine's day—an
nt which the young look forward to with
cagor oxpoctanoy. Last year the rush was
not by any means ns groat at tho post otllcc
year before. It was said that some
thing less than 1,500 Valentines passed
through the oflleo last year, and yesterday
It Is estimated that hardly 800 were sent!
'his Isa great falling off, and nil wonder
why It Is. We have considered tho matter,
1 have come to tho conclusion that It Is
iply because those having the Valentines
for sale do not advertise. The people forget
and need to ho reminded. How a merchant
cun expect to succeed without advertising is
one of the few myflterles we cannot solve.
.4»» Old Cunt out.
Many of our old citizens liavo told us of
custom that was practiced by planters for
years, which would he hooted nt by those of
to-day. They claim that the seasons i
changing; that tho spring Is not as mild
In olden days. In those days the gardens
were all planted on February llth—Ht. Val
entine's Day. On tho 22d of Fobruury tho
termers sowed corn, and on March 1st. cotton
was also put lu the ground.
• Luck to Him.
We seo from tho Cartorsvllle Ft
that William Horace Cunningham, a prin
ter, who has set type In tho Knquiuku-Hu

Atlanta. Bill Cunningham Is a big hear fed
big souled, big man, and Is us full of good

FESTIVAL LAST NIGHT.
Cloning and Mont Hueeemeful of Alb-
Mother Goose Tea Farty--Thm Coilng.
I>ast night closed probably the best and
inonI successful Festival ever given by the
Memorial Association. Huccess under such
unfavorable circumstances and the many
disadvantages they have had to contend
against and overcome Is truly wonderful.
The people arc willing but the hard times
and great scarcity of money made many
unable to do what they otherwise would
have done. The great zeal and perseverance
of our noble ladles under such ndvers
circumstances has made success the greate
victory the knowledge of which ought
to bring the blush of shame to the faces of
the anonymous letter writers who have en
deavored to discourage and divert them
from their noble purpose. It Is only those
who have watched the efforts tlmt have been
made by tho ladles that can fully nppreclat
and glvo the praise they meant. They do-
sevre n monument In the hearts of every
one even more lasting than stone. The la-
dley express themselses ns being satisfied
with the result financially. Under tie
elrcuinstances, it Is a success far beyond the
anticipations of those who have taken purl
in it.
IMMENSE CROWD.
There was probably never such an Im
mense crowd in the hall before. It was es
timated there wore from 800 to 1,000 persons

Tho tableaux wore simply grand, and the
audience was highly pleased with them.
After those came the "Mother Goose Tea
Party," which was one of tho best shows or
the kind It has ever been our pleasuro to
witness. It was indeed a rare sight to see
thlrty-nlno sweet little children on the
stage, ench acting their part in a manner
that would do credit to older persons. The
performance was one Hint would
plenso anyone, and to please Is
the object. To say the audience was pleased
would not express it—delighted would hard
ly fit the ease. Time nnd space forbids our
doing justice to the entertainment, but suf
fice It to say it was the grandest success
ever made by the ladles. The managers of
the nflalr are deserving of much
praise for tho manner in which everything
was nrrangod. Tho costumes, though homo
made, were suited to tho parts, and In fact
everything was all that could bo wished.
Wccnnnot close this meagre report without
speaking of little Mamie Wutt, the sweet
little nlghtongalo of Montgomery, who sang
"What are little hoys made of?" Sho has
a voice ns clear nnd sweet us a bird’s, and
her hearers were first surprised, then
charmed.
We would nlso mention Columbus' .little
mocking bird, Addle Mason, who sang "Tho
woman that wants a husband." Hhe, too, is
possessed of rare musical talent, and the
clear notes fell upon the ear as the sounding
of silvery bells.
THE PRIZES.
At 12 o'clock the polls were closed, and
the counting of the votes began. The result
was ns follows:
The diamond ring for the most popular
young lady was won by Miss Jessie Brad
ford.
The gold-headed cane for the most popular
physician was won by Dr J J Mason.
Tho Ink-stand for the most popular mer
chant whs won by Mr .1 H Hamilton.
The silver and glass flower vase, to the
most popular line of boats, was won by the
steamer G Gunby Jordan.
The silver cup for the baby was won by
Frazer Johnson.
The "fullyho," for tho hoy, was won by
Willie Bedell.
The voting was not very spirited, hut the
Association made money on all tho articles.
TIIK RESULT.
Owing to the fact that It was midnight ere
the festival dosed, tho exact amount real
ized could not bo ascertained, but it Is equal
If not greater than tho ladles expected. A
hsudsoine sum must have boon received
last night, for at the Mother Goose enter
tainment 8137 was taken in at the door.
Nearly every article was disposed of, and
those remaining are of not much value.
Considering all things, the Indies did re
markably well, and deserve credit for their
perseverance In this noble cause.

Trader.
As It lias been some time since you have
beard from Old Rip, I will dro* you a few
lines thereby giving you a few Items con
cerning old Crawford and Its citizens, though
the place Is so extremely dull at this time
that It Is almost Impossible to Itemize.
But little transpires to vary the monotony
of everyday life. Robin shooting Is all the
go and many are the guns fired at these lit
tle birds, they forming the only epicurean
dish that we can afford. Mrs J H Terry, a
very delicate lady, of our town, (she weigh
ing only 185 pounds; lias killed, with a
double barrel gun, the nnmber of 81 birds
this weak, beating by far, any of the boys.
We have a large and prosperous school In
operation In this place now, taught by Mr
C J Edge, from Harris county, Ga. Mr Edge
Is an efllclent teacher and is well bellked by
all his patrons and pupils.
Dr A L Foreman, u deservedly popular
and successful physician of our town, Is
moving to Auburn. In losing Dr Foreman,
we not only lose a good physician, but a
most excellent citizen and good neighbor.
We very much regret to have him leave us,
for wo know that there are but few that can
All his place. We cordially recommend
him to the confidence nnd patronage of the
citizens of Auburn and vicinity.
Our esteemed townsman. Dr J M Thomas,
Is still with us, and with his superior bkUI
is always ready to attend those who are In
need of Ills professional services. We hope
the doctor will always remain with us,
The farmers of this vicinity are busily cn
gaged In preparing for another crop. One
of them, >lfA J Putnam, has already plant
ed a field'of corn. Think It is quite early
yet to bo planting field seeds, but hope the
experiment will prove successftil as does
most other things that Mr Putnam takes
hold of.
There Is being erected here a now steam
saw and grist mill with gin attached by Mr
W T Rutledge. These are things that have
been long needed here, nnd we sincerely
hope that Mr Rutledge will moot with the
success his energy deserves. Mr A J Putnam
also speaks of putting up a steam grist mill,
so If both these mills are put in operation
wo will have but little trouble in liuving our
corn groutid.
I cannot dose without telling you of a
little circumstance that took place here a
few days ago : A colored gentleman enter
ed a store and called for n pair of shoes for
self; said he generally wore sixes but nines
At lilin best. He Anally succeeded In get
ting bis feet into u No 11 shoe, and after
asking how many times 50 went Into 18, and
being told that it went 18 times, ho told the
clerk good bye and sauntered out of the
house, better satisfied If no wiser.
Wishing the Enquirer a wide airculatlon
nnd the editor a long nnd happy life,
I remain yours truly,

Harrin County Details.
Hamilton has only four young ladies, so
says the locul paper.
The Hamittou College has .over forty
pupils.
Mr Charley Wlntrec and Miss Mattie B
Miller, daughter of Joseph Miller, Esq, wore
married Wednesday.
Tho number of fruit trees planted In
Harris county this season has been remark
ably large.
Track laying actually commenced on the
North and Houth Railroad three weeks ago
nnd Is now within a mile and a half of the
corporate limits of Hamilton nnd we can
almost hear the ring of tho sledge a
drives homo the splKe.
Tho c .liege boys think of publishing n
newspaper. Folly.
The parents of a family were cousins and
had twelve children, six of whom were
mutes. Six of the children were boys and
sixgllsnnd three of each sex were mute.
Only one member of the family is now
lng In the county, and she Is old and de-
erepld, being denf, dumb and blind.
According to the decisions of Hamilton
Council, says tho Journal, recently rendered)
a plain drunk on quarrelsome whiskey Is
punishable by a fine of one dollar. If two
men are quietly playing a game of sevon-up,
and one takes tho liberty of knocking the
other down, the man of his quick temper
must pay one dollar for his liberty. If a
darkey exercises one of the prerogatives
and whips his spouse before retiring, he is
fined one dollar. If she squalls she must
pay a dollar. And so on.
There Is one blacksmith shop, a school
house nnd one or two new dwellings being
erected ut Mountain Hill.
Mr W II West, In Mountaiu Hill, came
near having his dwelling and other houses
burned last Friday. The Are caught from
the sfqvr and burned a small portion of the
coiling in the stove poom.
Reboots arc open jit Mountain Hill, but
they are. not full. The measles, a disease to
bo found in every direction, interfere.
Preparations are being made to build a
new church at Mt Olive.
The town marshal lias put out a very
large number of shade trees within the past
two weeks. He really expects to lay Ham

ST. VALENTINE’S EVE, 1879.
TO COUNT.
Count , ere you start,
Please return ipy shattered heart:
Or since that lias left my breast
Keep It safe when’you "go West."
Indeed, no matter where you go,
(For you are a traveling man we know)
IjOC mon sas agapo /
Count , when you’re gone,
To the far shade of Tulbot/onr,
Think of me, sweet, when alono!—
Though wafted oft from Pole to Pole,
Gorman tukes my heart and soul!
Indeed, no matter where you go,
L r e mon sas agapo!
By thaUbrow, so highly placed,
Those eyes that luld my heart a waste,
By thy manner's charm so vast—
Thy graceful "plaster of Purls" cast;
By the titled name you bear—
By your European air—
By all such charms, you surely kuow,
Los mon sas ayupo !
And, oh, dear Count, please lot me know
How far you do Intend to go!
In “Traveler’s .Stories’’—told with zest—
Yon say you’ve gone far, east and west;
And far und near, both north and south!
Your travels reach by word of mouth!
I’m Jealous, too, for well ’tls known,
You oft have kissed the Blarney stone!
—But whether you are near or far,
'Neath Southern sun or Northern star,
Let these words In your memory grow:
Loe mon sax agapo !
Toujours
Voter demoiselle de Paris!
P. 8. and N. J?.—
I hope you’ll be my destiny,
For you're so much a Count, I nee.
And, oh, Johannes, ere you go
Just let me say a word or so:
" Loe mon has aoapo!

Mr Kdltor: Will you have the kindness
to Inform some of your subscribers In tills
village, if It is In acoordnn e with our form
of government, that a bill presented to the
Legislature slgued by a majority of the citi
zens living In the locality affected by said
bill, some of them the heaviest tax payers
in the place, and whoso Representatives
were in favor of the hills, one of them Intro
ducing it In the House, should ho defeated
by any committee of the Legislature or
members from other counties.
We thought we were living under a Dem
ocratic Government, in Alabama, but It
would appear from tlje action of the com
mittee on temperance In the Legislature
during the present session of the body, that
we arc not.
A petition was sent from this place to re
peal an net that n majority of the citizens
considered It detrimental to their Interests.
The only pleas against It—by the minority
opposing it—was, "It Is all for the benefit of
four merchants."
Now the petition was signed by citizens
of all cld«8es. Planters, merchants, me
chanics and farmers, (all white Democratic
voters,) and If they did not consider that It
was of Interest to them, us well as the mer
chants, I presume they would not have
signed the petition. Citizen.

Every Moment*' Wonderful Work.
Every moment that wo live tho work
of destruction never ceases among
what Is sclontiflcally called “ the tis
sues" of which our bodies are com
posed. Every momont, if we are in
health, tlio work of repairing thiB de
structive process goes on with equal
paco. When the vital force is groat,
more vigor is givon to the blood and
muscular fibre than the ordinary wear
aud tear of existence uses up. When
the vital force fails from any cause,
there ensues a wastiug away, which, If
not arrested, onds in decay and death.
Physicians nil declare that wlieu these
symptoms of decline sot in, the only
certain romody Is Cod Liver Oil. But
their patients, with almost equal una
nimity, say that Cod Liver Oil Is “So
Nasty” tlioy cannot take It. Tho only
resource left is to obtain Scott's Emul
sion of the Oil with the Hypophos-
pbites o? Lime and Soda. This Is alto-
guther freo from disagreeable taste and
odor, and is an unoquallod tonic, tor
tho nerves nnd brain.

A Blessing to Suffering Females.
Holmes’ Liniment, when us oil for
two or three weeks before confinement,
produces a wonderful effect, causing a
verj' easy and quick labor, with
comparatively little pain, anil
leaves the mother In a con
dition to recover qulckly—or, lu
other words, to have a good getting up.
Under its use, labor will not ordinarily
occupy one-fourth of tho usual time,
and the female will not suffer one-
tentli of the pain usually felt.
Tho condition for which this remedy
is ofiered is of such a character us to
forbid n long array of certificates.
Those interested in its use are respect
fully referred to the hundreds who
have used it.
Ladies will please inquire of each
other what they know personally of
"The Mothers’ Relief.'* Ask your
