The Christian learns more of Christ in one hour of stormy trial than in weeks of sunshine. “Trials make the promise sweet; ’tis trials give new life to prayer.” We also learn more of ourselves in such seasons ; our weaknesses and need of Christ’s presence and grace then hecomos more evident to us. The manner in which It pleases Christ to visit Ilis people may nlarm them as much as their trials of danger. He comes walking on the stormy waters, ami they do not know Him. hnt Ilis sweet voice, saying, “Be of good clieor.” dispels their fears. Franchise Bapt’st Church. The members of Franchise colored Baptist church, located across the river in Girard, and of which Rev. N. W. Ashurst is pastor, are making an effort to build themselves a new house of worship. They hold their meetings in a school house which is the property of Russell county, and the church has grown to sin h proportions that the building cannot • tin the j started with less than a dozen members, and now they liavo 125 iu their membership. When the church was orgaulzed. about two years ago. they did not have a Bible or a hymn-book, but now they have a sufficient supply and also have a flourishing Sun day school, with eighty-five students, and the num ber is constantly increasing. We have known the pastor for years and he Is u faithful worker in the cause in which he labors, and is worthy of the aid tiiat any may be pleased to be stow upon him. There is a groat need of the new church, and the members desire to build a good t substantial one, and in order to carry out this pur pose they will be compelled to secure aid from others. We state these facts that any who may feel so inclined can aid in the good work. The Y. M. C. U. 1’icuic is the boss. Don't fail to go. Snotc-Orojt. Snow-Drop is the daughter of a king by his first wife. His second wife does not like little Snow-Drop and drives her away from the castle. Snow-Drop wanders olf into the mountains and falls in with a lot of dwarfs, for whom she becomes house-keeper. The queen of the Pygmies envies Snow-Drop on account of iier beauty and tries seven times to poison her. The last time she succeeds by giving Snow-Drop a poi soned apple. After Snow-Drop dies ho is put in a glass casket and it is then that a prince discovers her and falls immediately in love with her. He orders tiiat she be taken to his castle. On the way the bearers stumble and let the casket fall. Snow-Drop comes to life and the prince claims her for his bride. This little German fairy tale is most beautifully set to music by Carl Iioi- necke, of I.eipsig. Mr. Poriet lias ar ranged the accompaniment ior two pianos and the grand organ. He will be assisted by Prof. G. W. Chase as organist. The chorus of forty voices is composed of the C. F. C.

Last night came one of the heaviest rain and thunder storms that has passed over this city In a long while. The cioud was a dark, angry one, the lightning flashed almost Incessantly, the thunder was one peal after another while tli** rain poured down in torrents. It was so late that we could not get the measure of the rainfall but It was probably as heavy as any in the same time for years. No damage of which we have information occurred except the breaking otT of limbs of some of the shade trees in the street. The streets for a time was a flood ot water. | The picnic season was inaugurated yes- i terday morning, when forty fresh and hap py faces, all as bright as the April moon , ; looked lortn from Robinson’s huge carryall, drawn by four spirited bays, and their ; course turned to the “up stream” of the Caaitahoochee. They were the pu pils of Miss Mamie Klvlln and their invited • guests, loliowed by careful maaiinas In car- J riages. There was preseat no masculine j beyond sixteen, yet no more gallant beaux ' can be found In the “whole countrie.” ' The spot selected was near Clapp's factory j betide a beautiful 6tream, on one side a j lovely sandy beach, on the other large for- ! est trees, a charming spot—the scenery j worthy of an artist’s selection. Fishing, games, and wading In the peb- | bi< d stream were enj jyed tiil 1 o'clock, j Then a repast eaten from the ground (true i picnic style) gave unalloyed pleasure for an hour. About -i o’clock thunder in the distance caused haste in dispersion ; but alas 1 too late ! Such a wet, dripping crowd as were welcomed by Mr Warner has been seldom seen. F. lends from the city who had wait ed till afternoon to go out, had sought shel ter there also—and from the singing and laeghter one whs assured that the rain and hall had not quenched the spirits, though It di 1, most decidedly, hats and dresses. I am sure Mi Warner's place of business has not hau such a respectable crowd to visit it before; and right here we return him lhar.ks for his kin Jness. All reached home tafely, and none could complain of having a “dry time” at liast. The day will be pleasantly remembered— the drenching making emphasis. _ Ed. lAbrary Hots. The Library rooms constitute one of the most cozy retreats to be found in the city. If you don’t believe it drop in there some afternoon. The late Choral Union Is no longer In ac tive existence. Last week it turned overall Its property, Including cash on hand, to the Public Library.

From a gentleman who lives at Goodwa- ter, Ala., we learn that a meteoric display occurred at that place yesterday morning, and was visible about 2 o’clock. He states that a dark, angry-looklng c-oud came np from the northwest with a heavy noise as o f distant thunder, ami when it had ascended to an angle of about 45 degrees the meteors began to shoot about and the heavens were brilliantly illuminated.

We were passing up the west side ol Broad street yesterday, and were attracted to that popular Dry Goods Emporium of the Allen Bros, by the large crowds of people going in and out. So crowded was their store, and as each customer, laden with bandies,passed out with faces radiant with smiles of satis faction, we ventured inside and made in quiries of one ot the firm, asking what it ail meant.

We have on several occasions spoken of the cotton press lately patented by Mr John W Cheek, of this city, but, until yes terday we had only seen the model. The (’olumhus Iron Works yesterday finished one ot large size, and it was s^een by a large number of gentlemen. It was with diffi culty that Mr Cheek secured as ranch lint cotton as he desired, but a bale weighing between 450 and 500 pounds was easily packed by one hand doing the work. Mr Cheek says tiiat t lie pr^ss does all he claims for it, and tiie bale we saw was as well pressed as any we have seen. We have heretofore given a description of the press, and it is. therefore, unnecessary to go into details. The inventor claims that it will do the work effectually at less cost than any other press now before the public, and tills should guarantee its popularity. Mr Cheek has received numerous pro posals for territory tor the rights to sell the press, and now tiiat lie has had it fully tested, iie will sell both state aud county rights. He can be found at No. 51 Broad streeL and those desiring any further in formation can flud him there. H. J.

The board of trus’ees in their report, make several encouraging statements— among them is the flittering number of students, considering the times, ami tiie large numbers of grad- ua'es last year; the interest token in the University and the endowment, fund, amounting now to about $119,000, exclusive of r» al estate and contribution notes, of in definite value. The report of Dr. J II.

The public is hereby cautioned against a fraud that is being imposed upon this community. It is a well known fact that the Empire Mills, of this city, are manufacturing: a grade of Flour much superior to that shipped here from other points. So well known is this fact that it has become almost impossible for our brokers and other dealers in foreign flour to sell their goods to our mer chants. Finding they could not compete with our home mills by an honest compari son of goods, they have resorted to the following/rcmd : The Empire Mills have printed on their sacks “Empire Mills Silver Leaf, Columbus, Ga.’’ The fraudu lent brand is of same style of type and color of ink, “Emperor Mills Silver Leaf. Columbus, Ga.” and filled with an inferior grade of Hour, By this deception they propose to swindle the consumer and endeavor to injure the reputation so universally enjoyed and justly deserved by our mills. Consumers, beware! When buying flour see that the old reliable name. “E-M-P-I R-E,” is on the sacks, and take no other. tb<tsE Eye Salve. Sore eyes permanently cured, mat ters not from what cause.

A representative of this paper was walk ing aiong the street the other day, and stopped lor a few moments' chat with one of our most reliable mei chants. We can preface this by saying that for veracity he stands as high as any man in the city, and what he says can be relied upon as true, and can be substantiated by half a dozen others Id this city, who know of the circum stance. la the course of the conversation he said: “I read the story in the Enquirer-Sun Thursday moruiug of the change of Rosa Fears, a female, into Cuariec Fears, a man. 1 know ota similar case that occurred iu the neighborhood where I once lived.” “You knew it to be a tact, then ?” we said “Yes; it came under my own observation when I lived iu Tennessee. There was a family named Creamer in the neighbor hood, and one who were as well thought of es any in th:it section. There were several children In the family, and when it was an nounced one morning that Mrs Creamer was “the mother of another fine girl” no special seusation was created ” “But,” interrupted the reporter, * how do you know It was a girl ?’’ “T ie attending physician sal l it was as fine a girl baby as lie had ever seen; her mother said sh« was a girl and named her Su*au. When she grew to a few years of age she was known as bright-eyed Susie. She attended school and associated with the girls and noue ever thought of her iu any other way but as a girl. She wore fe male attire auddiJ sueii work as Is usual for females to do who live iu the country until she was twenty years of age.” “How did you flud it out that shewas a man ?” “You are too anxious to get ahead of the story, and that’s what I was going on to tell-you. My grandfather was at that time a member of the legislature. O-ie morning Susan Creamer came to see him and told him that she wanted him to have her name changed from Susan to Wiiliarn Creamer, ard gave as her reason that she was no longer a* woman, but had changed to be a man.” “What did your grandfather do?” “Oh, he went, ahead, had the bill p^ned and Susan changed tier name to William aryl was one of the boys after that. He dropped ills female riggings, trimmed out in breeches and a long *ail coat and was hail fellow well met with all tiie boys.*’ “Everybody looked on him then as a “Yes, lie was a man too. Ho afterwards married a lady in the neighborhood and they lived very happily together. They had no children bnt were perfo*tly ha py in tiie love of each other. I used to sell Mr. Creamer go'ds frequently after they went to hou-eseeping.” “How about his general appearance ?” “His voice was one of the most pfeuliar y u ever heard, though I cannot say it was child-like and bland; being rather a mix ture of both sexes. The same might al o be said of liis firm, shining strong points ol the male and female. Tiie last time I saw him lie would weigh about ISO pounds. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Creamer are still living in Ten nessee. ai.d are getting along very well, as I heard from them only a short hinie ago.’ Were we to give the name of our au h *ri- y for the above, he would at once be recog- niz* d as reliable, and since the conversa tion. we learn that there is, at tills time, a lady from Tennessee visiting the city who substantiates the statement in each partic ular. We are also told that there was, a tew years ago, a similar‘case at Eufaula, Ala , and that there arc several ladies here who went to school with the girl-boy, or what ever you may call her, him or it. FACTORY FACTS. .1 Ketr Building Being Erected. Two weeks ago the Enquirer-Sun men tioned ihe fact that A Clegg tfc Co wou?d soon have erected a new factory on the North Commons. The work has since been begun and the walls are now about eight fuel h ; gh. The building is 104 leet in length and 52 Fet in width and is being built with a view to enlarging it. in tiie future. One hundred looms will be pur. in at the be gin: ing ami others will doubtless be added J. no distant day. It is quite likely that a pinning department will also be added in tiie rear future. Ti;e building is located just north of tiie Western railroad track and east of the Co lumbus and Rome railroad depot. D will pushed forward to completion ns rapidly practicable, and it is expected to have it ready for operation by the 44h of July. The proprietors have found it necessary to build this mill in addition to their present one in order to meet tiie demand for their checks, as they have not been able to keep up with their orders for soveral months past. Take a Rest. Mr. Editor: Can you or any of your readers ve me a cure for laziness? I was born very tired, and cannot get rested. I conse* quentlv lead a most miserable existence When I commence a piece of work I am tired and weary in a short time, and have to summon all my powers to enable me to stick at it until finished.

Sleeping the years of their manhood away. Y'ears they have marked for the joys of the bravo; Years they must waste in the mouldering grave. All their bright laurels they waited to bloom Fell from their hope6 when they fell from the tomb. Give them the meed they have won in tiie past. Give them the honors their future forecast; Give them the chaplets they won iu the strife. Give them the laurels they lost with their life. Cover them over—yes. cover them over- Parent, hnsband, brother and lover! Crown in your hearts those dead heroes of ours. Aud cover them over with beautiful flowers. Cover tiie faces that motioules.- lie, 8hut from tiie blue of the glorious sky. Faces once decked with the smiles of tiie gay.

Oh! how they screamed when thy bade you good-bye! Oh! how they gleamed iu the battle's fierce flame! Oh! bow they paled wheu the death-angel came! Cover them over: oh, cover them over. Parent, husband, brother and lover ! Kiss in your hearts those dead heroes of ours, Aud cover them over with beautiful flowers. Cover their bands tiiat are lying untied. Crossed on the bosom and low by the side.

Bravely the musket and sabre thev bore. Words of affection they wrote with their gore. Grandly they grasped for agarland of light. Catching the mantle of death-darkened night. Cover them over; oh, cover them over. Parent, husband, brother aud lover! Crown in your hearts those heroes of ours. And cover them over with beautiful flowers. Cover the feet, that, all weary and torn. Hither by comrades were tenderly borne. Feet tiiat liavo trodden tiie flowery ways. Close by your own iu tiie old happy days: Feet that have pressed in life’s opening morn Boses of pleasure aud death's poisoned thorn. Swiftly they rushed to tiie help of the right. Firmly they stood in tiie shook of the fight. Ne’er shall the enemy’s hurrying tramp Summon them forth from tiie death-guarded camp; No er till the bugle of Gabriel sound Will they come out of their couch iu tin* ground. r thei r I lici Parent, husband, brother and lover! Rough were the paths of those heroes of ours. Now cover them over with beautiful flowers. Cover the hearts that have beaten so high. Beaten with hopes tiiat were doomed but to die. Hearts that have burne 1 in the heat of the fray. Hearts that have yearned for the homes far away, Hearts that heat high in the charges’ loud tramp. Hearts tiiat fell low iu tin- prison’s foul damp. Once they were swelling with courage and will: Now they are lying ail pulseless and still. Once they were growing with friendship and love: Now their great souls have gone soaring above. Bravely their blood to tiie country they gave? Then in her bosom they found them a grave. Cover them over; yes, cover them over. I’erent and husband, brother and lover! Kiss in your hearts those dead heroes of ours. And cover them over with beautiful flowers! (’over the thousands who sleep far away. Sleep where their friends cannot find them to-day. They who in mountain and liillside and dell. Best where they wearied and lie where they fell. Softly the grass blades creep round their repose. Sweetly above them the wild floweret blows. Zephyrs of freedom fly gently o’erhead. Whispering prayers for tiie patriot dead. So in our minds we’ll name them once more. So in our hearts we'll cover them o’er. Boses and lilies and violets blue Bloom in our souls for the brave and the true. Cover them over, yes, cover them over. Parent, husband, brother and lover! Think of those far away heroes of ours. And cover them over with beautiful flowers. When the long years have rolled slowly away. E’en to tiie dawn of earth’s funeral day. When at the archangel’s trumpet and tread Bise up the faces and lorms of the dead. When the great world it’s last judgment awaits. When the blue sky swing open its gates. And our long columns march solemnly thru’. Bast the Great Captain of final review. Then from the blood that lias flown from tlu* light. Crowns shall spring upward, untarnished and bright; Then the glad ears of each martyred son Proudly shall hear thtrglad tiding. ‘Well done,’ Blessiugs for garlands shall cover them over.

A GRAND COMBINATION Of Beauty, Style. Economy and Clever ness. Spring is the season of revivals in ani mate and inanimate nature. Business wakes up to fresh life and renewed activity. Although the weather may be as capricious as a young lady in her teens,and diversified with cloudy looks and fitful gleams of sun shine, yet there is a resistless charm in its appearance when costumed a la mo ie in bright colors that enhance its beauty. Prop- arations have been mde to greet iu be coming style the much welcome visitant. Its approach was wistfully awaited by our me chants, and this morning we are prepared to tell all the readers of this paper where they can find a store so attractive, and where elegant goods can be purchased at such ridiculously low prices tiiat those who fail to get themselves up in style will be looked upon as an eccentricity who clings to very old habits more through choice than compulsion. Those who have been iu the popular establishment are doubtless ready to say tiiat we are talking about Mr J S3 Jones, and such is the fact. Mr Jones, in his recent trip to New York, made full preparations for the elegant ami full equipment ol the gay votaries of fash ion, and these goods will be found at prices to suit the times and pockets oi all. We have often suggested that it is a good idea to encourage home enterprise, it mat ters not in what way it may be put forward. It lias not been a very great while since we called attention to the fact tiiat our citizens should not send to foreign markets for the finer qualities of goods, when it was said that it was not an easy matter to get them here. This can no longer be said, for Mr Jones has brought out as fine goods as were ever brought to the south. He has silks at prices ranging from four to five dollars per yard that are as elegant as anyone could desire. He has black and cream Span ish lace, oversuitings from three to four dollars per yard and other goods similar. His tine class of goods are as fine as heconld get them. For instance, he has towels which he sells at sixty dollars a dozen, and a sin - gle one cannot be sold for less than five dol lars. His linen department embraces other fine goods in proportion. Mr. Jones has most assn redly succeeded In getting golds fine enough this time, and there Is no need of sending away tor them when money is to be made by baying them a r yourdoor. It will cost more to buy the same goods at New York prices ami then have them sent here, than it will to get them from Mr. Jones. The ladies shonhl take advantage of this, and encourage this enterprising merchant who has tried with all his energy to meet every demand known to Hie dry g«vxls trode. He lias no cause to complain, for his store Is daily crowded tii customers whom lie never permits to leave liis store without an opportunity of obtaining a bargain. It is a pleasure to trade when the clerks are so courteous and polite, ami more especially where the latest styles are to be found and one is assured that they will bedealt with honestly. Such is tiie case at the dry goods house of Mr. J. S, Jones. A Beautiful Drop f’urtain. Yesterday we saw a drop curtain which will compare favorably in artistic taste and skillful execution with those seen iu tiie theatres in this section of the country. It is painted on canvass 14x26 feet and is a view of the Swiss Lake Maggiire and shows Ilha de Pescador in all its loveliness and beauty. Tiie moun tain, as well as the views of tiie town, are accurately drawn, and those who have vis ited this lovely resort recognize the scenes at once. Tiie work was done by Mr. Lie- frank, of this city, for the Sisters of Mercy at Augusta, to be used in their exhibition hall. It has been completed and will be sent to Augusta on Monday. We mast confess, tiiat while we knew Mr Llefrank was an artist superior of skill, we had no idea that his preparations and ar rangements were such as to turn out a piece of work like tiiat we saw yesterday. Those who see it will no it^ubt imagine tiiat It was gotten up in a New York es tablishment, but such is not tiie case* Every particle of the work was done in this city and there is no reason why Mr iefrauk should not get all tiie work ofthat kind that is desired in this country. He is thoroughly fitted out at his establishment for any kind of painting, and those who think It is not as good as any northern work of art should drop in and see it. Col leges and public halls w ill do well to make a note of this, as they can get curtains and scenery without sending nortli for them. Fine Property for Sale.
