Tustefulnems.
Who is it that Is not prond of a kinsman
possessing good taste? A housewife with
taste always can beautify home, and msse
the most humble, pleasant and cheerful.
This virtue is found among the sterner sex
as well, and Is displayed principally in
dress. It is a universal feet, a clothier who
“fits” up a gentleman tasteftilly always has
a good trade, and such has won Mr G E
Thomas his reputation as a first class
clotbier. He sells no goods bat the bests
and wishes it distinctly understood, no
shoddy goods are sold by him. See his
card, visit his store, andreplace that shabby
suit with a new one, is the advice we have
to offer.

"Coming Evento Coot Their Shadow.
Before."
And the Spring Opening of Mra Colvin A
Miss Donnelly, although, according to our
taste, it was a grand exhibition of every
thing beautiful in ladies'wear, was only a
shadow of what is to be displayed. The
stock is now complete, and was selected by
Mrs Colvin in person, with a view to the
tastes and needs of our ladies. The prices
are very [low. gee their card in another
column, and by calling any lady will be
convinced we are correct in the assertion
that better and cheaper goods were never
before offered in our market, and so Bay our
“cousins and our sisters and our aunts."

Meeting of the Memorial Association
The ladies of the Memorial Association
are requested to meet at the residence of

Monday afternoon, immediately afier the
ceremonies of laying the corner stone are
over. The object of the meeting is to con
sult and decide upon an inscription for the
monument, and arrange for unveiling it on
Memorial day.
Easter—The of Queen of Church Festi
vals.
The long fast of Lent is over. To-day
comes Easter, the Christian Passover and
Festival of the resurrection of Christ. The
English name is probably derived from that
of the Teutonic goddess of spring, Ostera or
Eastre, whose festival occurred about the
same time of the year as Easter. In early
days there were many disputes regarding
the time to be observed, and it was not un
til 325 that the date was settled by the coun
cil of Nice called together by Constantine'
Easter day, according to its deci-ion, is
always the Sunday after the full moon,
which happens upon, or next after March
21st, the vernal equinox, and if the full
moon happens on a Sunday„Easter day is
the Sunday after. By this arrangement
Easter may come as early as March 22d and
as late as April 25tli. This rule has gov
erned universally since its adoption.
The churches who observe the day princi”
pally, the Catholics and Episcopalians,
have done so from the beginning. Its cele
bration occurs all over the Christian world.
It is styled the Queen of Festivals. The
churches are decorated, the bells peal mer
rily, the choicest music is rendered, and the
voice ol rejoicing and praise resounds
throughout the world.

EARTH'S ANGELS.
BY’ MATT O’B.
it's
Religion teaches us mid all our 'plaints.
That in Heaven only dwell the saints;
And yet I fancy—tlio' I have a dearth
Of Knowledge great—I’ve seen on earth,
A something much their like—an order
Which if not of Heaven itself—is of
border.
UnliKe the saints who’re robed in white,
These I speaK of dress as blacK as night,
And silent move along our streets in pairs,
Without a note of what’s called “world af
fairs,”
Watch them, as I’ve done, and you’ll see
They seen the huts where all is misery
Where lie the sick, the poor, th’ afflicted,
Yea be it pestilence, they’re not restricted.
But seek them out and succor giving
Tend to the death, then help the living,
Without a hope of any fee or ’ward
Save that they crave from our dear Lord.
They silent worK, and neath their hood,
Have thoughts of naught but doing good.
“Sisters of Mercy” they’re called, I know,
(Mayhap the reader says and rightly so!)
And it doth seem as if in Heaven above.
Where dwells the God of mercy and of love
To draw us closer to Him—and learn His
worth
He sends as guide, these angels of the
earth.

numerous friends I have taken and j

of doing a strictly Custom Trade. My ;
long experience in the Tailoring Busi- ‘

Thanking the people of Columbus j
for kindnesses extended me and eneo- j

•KETCH OF THE MEMORIAL SOCIETY.
It would be but an act of justice to our
noble women that a full and complete his
tory of the associations organized by them
during the war and since, should be writ
ten and placed in the corner stone. Not
having the minutes or records before us,
only a condensed reference can be made at
this time.
In response to the call of duty on the
21st of May, 1861, a large meeting of the la
dles of Columbus was held at Temperance
Hall, at which the “Soldiers Friend Socie
ty” was organized, having for its object the
doing of woman's part in the service of the
country in time of war. The organization
was effected by the election of the follow-
□g officers:
Mrs A II Chappel, President.
“ Robt Carter, Vice President.
“ J A Urquhart, Secretary.
“ Richard Patten, Treasurer.
A few months after the organization Mrs
Chappel resigned, and Mrs Robt Carter
was elected President and Mrs R A Ware
Vioe President.
No changes In officers tooK place until
Mrs Ware moved from the city, when Mrs
David Hudson succeeded her as Vice Presi
dent.
On the resignation of Mrs Urquhurt as
Secretary, Mrs John D Carter was elected to
fill the vacancy.
After the death of Mrs Hndson, Mrs John
D Carter was elected Vice President and
Mrs Abner H Flewellen elected Secretary.
Mrs Flewellen soon afterwards removing
to the country was succeeded by Miss Lizzie
Rutherford as Secretary, and Miss Anna
Forsyth as assistant.
To the “Soldiers' Friend Society” many a
poor, weary, sicK, wounded, scantily clad
soldier was indebted for rest. Kind nursing
and relief. The devotion, self-denial, sym
pathy and encouragement of the women of
the South during the war, inspired hope,
stimulated patriotism, aroused to action
the Southern soldier, caused him to endure
hunger, thirst, danger of battle, fatigue,
suffer |from sicKness and wounds, accept
victory or defeat, reconciled them to meet
death. With women it was a work of love,
a sense of duty. The recollections of the
tender, loving kindness, the untiring at"
tention,'and relief received from the Soldiers'
Friend Society of this city nerved many an
arm in striking for it's country’s cause.
The history of this society is recorded in the
hearts of many a recipient living. The
sublime incentive that directed the hand
to smooth the beds of sickness to bind up
the wounds of the afflicted, extend relief
and brighten the dying moments are on
record in the Heart of all Hearts, and in
good time the reward fcg- devotion to duty
during the dark and trying years of the
Confederate States will surely come.
When the war closed the Soldiers’ Friend
Society was represented by the following
officers:
Mrs Rob't Carter, President.
Mrs John D Carter, Vice President.
Miss Lizzie Rutherford, Secretary.
Miss Anna Forsyth, Assistant Secretary.
At the close of the war hospitals were
abandoned, Relief Associations were no,
longer nessary. Ourarmiesdefeated and dis
banded returned to the peaceful pursuits of
life. The Soldiers Friend Society ceased to
exist in the latter part of 1S65, but reappear
ed as an organization early in 1866 as the
“Ladies Memorial Association" which was
organized by the election of the following
officers:
Mrs. Robert Carter—President.
“ R. A. Ware—Vice President.
“ Chas. J. Williams—Secretary.
“ C. E. Dexter.—Treasurer.
But few changes in the offices occurred
during its existence. On the death of Mrs.
Chas. J Williams her daughter Miss. Carrie,
now Mrs. Gordon, was elected , and on her
removal lrom the city. Miss Lila Howard
was elected Secretary who contiued to act
until the election of the present secretary,
Mrs. A M Allen.
The present organization had its origin in
the hearts of women, having for its object
the care of the graves of soldiers that are
buried in the city cemetery and the erection
of a Monument commemorating the heroism
of the “Confederate Soldier.” The evidence
I of how well they have done their duty in
1 caring for the soldier's graves can be seen in
our cemetery. The annual offering of flow
ers as a tribute shows that the memory of
the dpad is still fresh andgreen in the hearts
and this duty performed cheerfully.
To-morrow the corner stone of the Monu
ment to be erected to the “Confederate Sol
dier" by this Association will be laid with
solemn and impressive ceremonies. A few
days hence the day of rejoicing will come
when one of the objects of the organi
zation, that of erecting this monument, will
have been accomplished. Then can the
members feel that pride that arises from
duty performed and point to the Monument
as evidence that the memory of the dead is
enshrined in their hearts and the heroism
of the living remembered and honored.
Long years of zeal and perseverence, care
and anxiety, trouble and difficulty is re
warded with success.
From its inception to the present time the
Memorial Association has been exclusively
a woman's organization, comprising every
one in our city as members, and to them
alone is due the credit for all that has been
accomplished.
To a deceased member of the association
Mrs Chas J Williams, is due the honor of
first suggesting the custom of annually dec
orating the soldiers’ graves with flowers—
a custom adopted throughout the South
and followed by the North towards Federal
graves. Annually on the 26th of April
since 1866, has the women and children laid
their tribute of flowers upon the graves of
the sleeping heroes buried in our cemetery
a custom that should be continued as a
perpetual memorial to the manhood of the
Confederacy and the women of the South.
At a festival on the 10th of May, 1878, or
soon after, it was determined tocontract for
a monument. The question of a location
was decided by a vote of the citizens. The
majority was in favor of Salisbury ParK
on Broad, between Baldwin and Few streets,
where the foundation has been built. The
corner stone will be laid, and the-monu
ment will stand as the creation of woman’s
patriotism, fidelity and energy.
All honor to the noble women of our city
represented by the following as officers of
the Memorial Association at this date:
Mrs Robert Carter, President.
Mrs R A Ware, Vice President.
Mrs A M Allen, Secretary.
Mrs C E Dexter, Treasurer.

Beautiful.
This word will hardly express the appear
ance of Mrs Lee’s store on yesterday. This
lady returned from New York a few days
ago with all the novelties in her line, which
she is now arranging for the spring rush.
he is famous for her large and elegant
stocks, but it is her impression that the
present one lays all previous ones in the
shade. We think so, too, from what we
were shown on yesterday. The styles in
hats and bonnets are certainly prettier than
for several seasons, and if all the pretty
girls don't call and get one, we shall thinK
they are blind to their own interest. She
makes a specialty of millinery goods, and
everything in that line is charming. Her
ready.made dresses for ladies and children
are sure to please the most fastidious. In
short, her entire stock, large and varied as
it is, has been selected with admirable taste,
and to be appreciated has only to be seen.
Let all the ladies, small and great, call and
see Mrs Lee's goods this week.

“THE BLOODY HAND.”
As we have previously noticed, Girard in
olden times, was noted for its pngflistic
and frequent bloody encounters. The in
habitants would not only test their prowess
on each other, but would wage war to the
knife on foreign interlopers, who would In
tentionally or otherwise happen among
them. Several noted places of ill-fame
were among the fixtures of early times, and
here rows were frequent. Citizens of Co
lumbus were often the instigators and
aggressors in these warlike encounters.
Some thirty or forty years ago the lower
bridge was considered common terriiory
for the combattants, and here it is allegep
many bloody fights and sometimes murders
occurred. It is even believed that several
parties were mudered on the bridge and
thrown out of the windows to find watery
graves in the seething torrents below
Some twenty-five years ago, the'writer saw
at one of the windows on the north side of
the bridge the print of a bloody hand,
where it was said one of the unfortunates
was murdered and thrown overboard. In
being thrown out he made one last grasp
for his life, and left the indellible impress
of hand and fingers to attest the foul
deed. This fearful reminder might have
been seen by the curious up to the time
this bridge was consumed by Willson's rai
ders in I860.
CHAPTER XII—THE GOLDEN AGE OF GIRARD,
If Girard ever had any importance as a
mercantile and commercial mart it must
have been between the years 1837 and 1850.
Numerous vacant business houses show
even to this day that the place, like many
people, has seen better days. Within our
knowledge of the place, which commenced
as far back as 1842, Girard boasted two or
three creditable hotels, and as many livery
stables. There was once a long line of stores
on the north side of the creek, but it i
probable these never transacted much busi
ness after the close of the Indian war. Gi
rard once boasted of a postoffice,
and we believe W B Harris (Still
living, though old and feeble,) was the
first postmaster. He held that Important
public trust in 1810. Two newspapers have
also added to its historic fame. Here, as far
back as 1840) Benjamin Gardner published
the Alabama State Reyister. This paper was
afterwards removed to Florence, and later
to Eufaula, where it assumed the name of
Southern Shield. On that paper the writer
first acquired a knowledge of the types in
1811. In 1853, W C Howell started a weekly
paper in Girard under the name of the East
Alabamian. About the same time W H
Barnett started a little paper at Crawford.
The two were amalgamated afterward, and
published in Girard for a year or two by-
Joseph E Mershon with encouraging suc
cess. The paper was very creditable in ap
pearance. W C Howell married Miss Town
send of Girard. He now publishes a paper
at Prattville, Ala. Mr Mershon married a
daghter of Judge O'Neal, of Seale. He died
in Mobile. Mr J B Wright, of the Enqui
rer-Sun, worked for some time in the Gi
rard office.
news of the week.
The gardens are slowly recovering from
the late frosts. A light shower at this time
would be beneficial.
In our historical papers of last Sunday the
jail hero should have been Tyra Scott, in
stead of “Tyron Cox,” as published.
The public schools open to-morrow. All
who can should send their children the first
day. A few of the “small fry” are yet
wrestling with the measles. Our under
standing is that two schools are to be estab
lished In (he academy, and if the emergency
requires it a third will be opened at a differ’
ent point. Send your children to school.
Do not worK them to death nor allow them
to grow up Hottentots.
M. E. CHURCH FESTIVAL.
This affair, which closed Friday night
was a decided social and financial success.
The gross receipts were upwards of $100, and
the net about 395. This, it is believed, will
secure the improvements designed to be ac
complished. Rev. Howard Key deserves
praise for the successful manner in which
the affair was conducted. The citizens of
Columbus assisted liberally as usual; several
tdies furnished caKes, and merchants ap
propriated articles. Numbers also attend
ed from Columbus each night, spending
their money’ freely. Mr. Joseph of the
Pioneer stores was on hand the first night
and treated the ehrilden liberally. The
rdies of Girard feel thankful for all these
favors.
The following ladies and Misses had
charge of the several departments.
Fish pond—Mrs, Fields.
.Sandwiches—Mrs. Dudley.
Ice Cream—Adah Gifford, Lula Smith.
Fancy Table—Mattie Forsyih, Laura Por-
tervent.
Cigars—Wana Golden.
Flower Stand—Mittie Nix, Carrie Dudley
Lemonade—Emma Miller, Ida Blau.
Tuesday night Miss Annie Stewart was
voted the most popular young lady. Her
opponent was Miss Laura Marcrum of Col
umbus.
On Friday night Miss Alice Berry ofGi-
rard, was voted the most popular young
lady over Miss Abbie Blakely, of Columbus.
Thus the Girard girls came off victors each
evening.
The church agreed to donate $15 of the
net proceeds to assist in pay’ingfor necessa
ry repairs on the academy.
We congratulate all parlies upon the
success of the festival, and for the decided
improvement which will be secured by it
to the M E church.

lady contributors:

BROWFETILEE.
Owing to the crowded state of our columns
the Browneviltians will pardon us for doing
them up in “short meter” this weeK.
Nothing of interest occurred in social or
business aspects during the week.
Commendable quiet and good order pre
vailed throughout.
Rev Mr Tucker and lady were expected to
return from Macon yesterday. Mrs Tucker
has been absent several weeks. Her many
friends will be delighted to see her again at
home.
Mr J W Hodo paid a business visit to Ope
lika yesterday.
VOTED DOWN.
The proposition to vote on the question of
incorporating Browneville under the name
and style of “Eagle City” was submitted to
the people on yesterday. The election was
held at the office of Justice HicKs. Messrs
A O Young, Jim Allen and Frank Philips
were managers. The vote stood “For Incor
poration," 8; “Against Incorporation,” 118.
Thus it will be seen the contest was not a
lively one even for the lively town of “Live
ly.” We think the people ha\-e acted wise
ly in this matter, and we regard the matter
as settled for sometime to come. We con
gratulate the people upon their decision.
Now let us hear of no more bad behaviour
on the part of the young men.
