been up hill work for the actors to play
their best before such a small audience.

Mc**r*. Editor*: Permit me through yoar
columns to give the public a simple state
ment of the question between tbe Commis
sioners of commons and the M. A G. Rail
road, In regard to the grant of 10 acre* of
ground on the east commons to them by the
military council of 1869. This council con
sisted of seven members, only four of them
owned real estate, and two of these last
were, or are now, directors In the M. A Q.
Railroad.
Had this grant been made by a regularly
elected council it would not have been valid
from the fact that the tltl p to the commons
was In the Htate of Georgia and not in tho
city of Columbus, and nogrant of commons
by any council was valid, unless sanctioned
by the Legislature, and no such sanction
has been given.
In 1873 the Legislature gave the commons
to the city of Columbus and appointed cc
mlssloners to dispose of them, by sale
lease, or by gift to churches, schools or for
public parks. HoThetlme after the passage
of this act, tbe directors of the M. A G. Rail
road asserted tlielr right to this ground by
fencing In, on three sides, not only the
ground claimed, but a large piece adjoining
to which they admit they have no claim
whatever.
In August, 1874, this act of occupancy on
the part of the railroad was brought before
the Board or Commissioner*, who directed
the secretary of the Board to notify the
president of the road to vacate the ground
This was replied to by proposing a confer
cnee by a committee from tho contending
parties. This conference was had without
any settlement being obtained. And tho
question remains now as at Its beginning.
As the president of the Board of Commis
sioners, I advocated prompt legal action
against the road, believing that they would
not yield their claim unloss compelled by
low. J uederstnnd the road now proposes
to buy the ground, If we will name a price
satisfactory to them. As one of the Com
missioners, I am only willing to deal with
them as with other purchasers. Lay off the
ground and put it up, each lot separately, at
public sale to the highest bidder.
I suppose the ground In dispute, after de
ducting tbe streets, will bo about twelve
acres, or forty-eight quartor acre lots. The
twelve corner lots would probably bring
91250 each S 3,000

Ham11,ton, GA., February 16, 1870.
E.vquikkk-HUN: As suggestions to the
Memorial Association seems to tie the order
of the day, I hope you will pardon me for
the intrusion of giving you my plan to
ptense tho ladles and all the living heroes
of tho war. Of courRo you must not look
for anything very startling, brilliant, or
new from the mountains. However, I will
suv wlmt I stai ted out to *ay without fur
ther apology:
1st. Let tho ladies deride on all the names
they wish perpetuated by this monument.
Then have them all arranged on a large
sheet of paper, 20x30 Inches In size,•written
in a plain legible hand, or, if you please,
printed In plain letter*. Then have them
all photographed, or pennngraplied, and put
ma substantial frame, with a very thick
French gins* plate over—say half Inch thick
—and a like frame made for the names ofall
tho ladles who are members and workers
lu tbe Memorial* Assotiatlon. Plme these
frames In the shaft, a convenient height
to be easily red by any one visiting the
monument. Let there bo four frames, all
placed on tbe same height—two to contain
the names of all who died in service, and
one for nil soldiers who havo died since the
surrender, and one for the ladles—one
frame to be on either side of the monu
ment, east, west, north and smith*
Lot these frames tie beautifully ornament
ed, (after the order of n select committee of
members of the Memorial Association),
made very substantial, and lot In the shaft,
sons not to bo seen only In front of the
frame. ^
This, In my humble opinion, will ndd
beauty to the shaft, and perpetuate all that
may bo dosirod by the most fastidious, and
that, too, without marring the shaft, and
will cost but u trifle, compared to so much
engraving.
Respectfully submitted,
Thom. 8. Mitcjibll.
f We have only to ndd the monument Is
the ladles'work, and they ean do ns their
tastes select. We do not think glass ft nines
would look pretty or tasteful on a monu*
.incut, and they would bo very apt to bo
broken.—Kniroii’.

These prices are less than wore obtained
for similar sized lots on the North Com
mon, and I believe less than they will
bring at public sale. It has been agreed by
the friends of tho road that similar grants
were made to tho Muscogee (now South
western and Western) roads, and that It Is
Illiberal not to confirm this grant to the
Mobile and Girard Road. I answer, the act
of the Legislature specifies where we may
give, to-wit: Churches, schools and public
parks, and beyond these wo have no author
ity. And to sell to nny one, for any pur
pose, any of this ground for a less sum than
we believe It would bring at public side,
would In my opinion be a wrong to the
trust confided to us.
Certainly tbe Mobile and Girard Railroad
has no Just cause to complain of a want of
liberality toward the city of Columbns. In
1853 tho city subscribed 8150,000, and again
In 1850 a similar amount to the stock of this
road. To meet these subscriptions 7 per
cent, bonds to tho amount of 8.300,000
Issued by the city. The interest on these
bonds on the first of January last amounts
to 8415,500, the most of which has been
promptly paid.
Besides the city subscription, many of our
citizens subscribed liberally to this stock,
upon which no dividend has been paid, and
the stock Is now worthless ns uu Invest
ment. Tho Central road, holding a majority
of the stock, gives them the control of the
road; and It Is now a feeder to the Houth-
western and Central, enabling them to pay
liandsome dividends to their stockholders
and liberal salaries to the officers of the M A
G H It, whilst the business of Columbus is
Injured nnd It* real estate depreciated in
consequence of the heavy tuxes levied to
meet the conllnually accruing Interest on
her bonds.
Hoping that an abler pen will put this
question before the public In u clt»arer light
I am, very truly, yours,
B. F. Coleman.

SPECIAL SO MAM DEAItBBS AND
CONSUMES*.
As there are many inferior and com
mon sweet-pickle hams being palmed
off as gonuine sugar-cured, wo have
thought best to warn dealers and con
sumers against the imposition, and nt
tho samo time call attontion to our
famous
MAGNOLIA HAMS,
regarding the excellence of which there
can bo no question. For sixteen years
they have been subjected to the sever
est tests in all climates, and have at
tained the highest reputation wherever
used. Like everything of really supe
rior quality, they havo steadily and
firmly grown in favor, and now our
warmest competitors are almost ready
to concede the superiority of which tho
general public has long since been
aware.
From a cure o f 7,500 hams in 1803 tboy
have annually increased, and in 1878
the distribution of those hams amount
ed to 375,000 pieces—tho largest cure
over made of strictly winter nuga
cured, canvassed hams. Even this un
precedented number was not equal to
the demand.
We cure under what wo consider the
best formula known, and with
purest and most expensive ingredi
ents. No expense is spared In hand
ling, and everything is done known to
the ham-curers’ art to render them ab
solutely porfeet. They aro cut In the
interest of the consumer, avoiding all
waste; cured uniformly, and aro Just as
represented—the perfection of sugar-
cured hams. That there may be no
doubt as to their quality, we, with en
tire confidence, guarantee them to bo
unsurpassed in cut, cure, delicacy of
flavor and style of package by any
hams in tho world. Wo believe them
without equal, and the universal favor
with which they have boon accepted
would justify this conclusion. There
is no economy to either tho dealer or
consumer in using tho cheaply cured
imitations when at a shade higher
prleo the Magnolia can he obtained.
We do not intend to compote in price
with tho poor grades that, with high-
sounding names nnd flaming labels,
are being pressed on Southern buyers,
tor wo cannot furnish a choice article
at the price of cheaply and carelessly
cured moats; but we say to all who ap
preciate a real delicacy, that, quality
considered, oven at a considerably
higher figure, Magnolias are actually
tho cheapest. The dealer who sells Maj
nolias will find them more ready sale.
The consumer is compensate 1 in tho ox
cellenoe of flavor. Doalers can order
thorn direct from us or through I
Chappell, Columbus, Ga., und always
at as low price as such cure can bo fur
nished. Consumers may prevent their
grocers furnishing them poor hams at
full pricos, as many aro inclined to do,
by calling for Magnolias, and thoroby
compelling thorn to keep tho “best,
which aro always tho cheapest.”
