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. Fereonal. Mr Cecil Gabbett and lady arrived in the city last evening. "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."

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.

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.

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. OUR ALABAMA SUBURBS. GIRARD. Historical Papers--Continued.

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. !M\ JOSEPH! Established 22 Fears. AHEAD of all COMPETITORS!

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. The following is by one of our Girard lady contributors: A GIFT. Oh give to me your heart, my love— Give it to me alone, And you may have one bacK again, To keep and call your owh.

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. St. lames C7iurch.
