— I'l.o excitement over tin probate judgeship has
not yet lulled in Browneville, notwithstanding
U.ic fact that the county convention has met,
Inul its say, and adiourned. There is likely to be
•i three-cornered race between Messrs. Crayton,
ii Hand and Robertson, and we shell have to
a w.iil the verdict of the people in August. The
opponent® of Colonel Etotiand claJin that Mi.
Cra;. ton was law hilly nominated by the conven
tion as its candidate, while Colonel Holland and
friends claim that no nomination wns made, ami
I hat tn consequence they are*no; bound to abide
I in* action of the convention. It is to be regretted
that so much bitter fueling hus grown out of the
matter, but the returning board of the people
will settle it finally and satisfactorily in a couple
d! months.
Flm* Rains
Fell on Thursday and Friday, and in consequence
everything wears a more hopeful aspect. The
gardens have taken a fresh start, and vegetables
will soon lx* more plentiful and cheap.
A Rig House Wanning.
MoCollister’s new hall in Browncville was
formally dedicated by a grand ball on Friday
night. There were between two and three hun
dred lovers of the dance present, and the general
\ eidiet is that no such pleasant affair of the kind
oar came off in the town. The fine hall is very
commodious, and yet its spacious floor was un
tiringly occupied until a late, or rather early,
hour yesterday morning. The string band o»
Allen and Edwards furnished inspiring music
for the occasion, and the delightful hours flew by
unconsciously, without anything occurring to
disturb the general enjoyment.
A New Kilter prise.
Messrs. Boren <& Davison have started a coffin
factory at Allen’s old stand in Lively. The city
sexton, just opposite, seems well pleased at the
idea, and several doctors in the vicinity are also
inclined to smile. Whether there is any mutual
understanding in the business \yo dare not say.
Wit limit joking on so grave a subject, it seems
strange that some one has not embarked in this
}>n:.i ness long before now in Lively or Browneville,
as cheap coffins are certainly among the wants of
the limes.

Gossip and News Notes.
Yesterday, fifty years ago, Mrs. Dan Collins
landed in Girard. She was then quite a young
girl. Now the frosty locks are creeping o’er the
head once adorned with beautiful dark ringlets.
During this half century she has resided within
a half mile of where she now lives. Has reared
•i huge family of children, several of whom have
preceded iter across the dark border. Ab, these
hlly years have witnessed wonderful changes,
not only in herself, but in surroundings. It is
•seldom one lives so long in a place, but this good
huly is still quite active ami gives promise of wit
nessing several years to come.

Special Correspondence Enquirer-Sun.
.Eufaula, Ala.,,Tune 4. I was mueh interested
a few weeks ago in reading several letters from
“down the river,” In which it appeared that
some member of the Enquikkh-sun staff was
out on a pleasure jaunt.' Those that interested
me most were the ones detailing conversations
that occurred on the roof of the steamer HUB.
When Captain Randlette demonstrated that
aquatic cats were destined to take the place < f
land cats, my heart was rejoiced and 1 felt that
the man who had made the discovery was a
public benefactor.' But alas, for human hopes,
"the eats in our back yard" are just as thick as
ever.
AN IMPROVEMENT IN CATS
is one of tbe necessities of the age, and we are
sorry to see that Captain Randlett’s man is a
dead failure in this direction. Mr. Francis Gal-
ton has been trying to make an improvement in
cats, but he is even a worse failure than Prof.
Gaston. Probably you have seen the following,
which is going the rounds of the press:
Francis Gallon has latterly been trying to de
vise ways for the improvement of cats. No one
will deny that this is a field in which great good
might be done. The cat has not been improved
within historic times. The eat of to-day is the
identical animal that the Egyptians worshipped.
She is just us objectionable as she was six thou
sand years ago, and no one has hitherto made
any attempt to place an improved style of cat on
the market. But Mr. Galton has concentrated
upon a plan that will make them entirely deaf.
I AM NOT INCLINED TO ORUMULi:,
but Mr. Francis Galton is one of the most ingeni
ous and yet useless scientific persons now living.
He is continually making some new discovery,
but his discoveries arc of the kind that benefit
nobody. Tt is sad to see ao much real ability as
Mr. Galton unquestionably possesses fritteied
away in science. Were he to give his attention
to something useful—whF-t’ for example Ik
might make himself ; a public ben
efactor instead of a. mere object
of curiosity. . Now what does Mr. Gal-
toil do when be sets ojit to improve the cat? Does
he’at tempt to improve the cat’s voice and meihod
of singing, so Unit it will be possible for people to
sleep at night me* community where cats thrive?
This he thoifi® of substituting soft uni! innocu
ous paws for't he armed and dfljndly.paws now in
use? Has lie dreamed of so^modifying the cat’s
tefth that slip <*m be accidentally stepped on in
* dark room without subjccting^lhe innocent ag
gressor to a lacerating bite tnnt®s sure to be fol
lowed by hydrojliidb^fc or lockjaw? He has done
jione'of the*^ things, and his whole energies
have been concentrated on a plan to
- ' - MAUL CATS TOTALLY UliAfc’. .....
There is no possible advantage in owning a deaf
ca£ The animal would -ing, fight, scqstfihiand
bite a® vigorously a® a cat in*«c lull upssexsion
Kjofber hcarfutf*,. On the^ther {land, J^(j_ wgjht. of
hearing would make her positively objectionable.
Jt would be useless and exasperating to request
such a cat to "seat,” for she would pay no atten
tion to a request that she could not hear. Boots
anil things would have to t>e' thrown at her when
ever itjwas desired to attract her attentio^ and
it would be impossible to i call
her -no matter what endearing and
Haltering terms might be used in
ease her presence was desired. While she might
lx induced t<> watc h a mouse hole inc ase it were;
shown to her. she could not have her faculties
stimulated by hearing mice gnawing or squeak
ing in the wall, anil halt a dozen ruts might run
over the floor wlica her back, was turned without
the least clanger that she would notice them.
For the-e reasons thero it> apil can be no demand
whatever for di af cats; ami ^et > deuftiess is Mr.
CJhiton’s idea of the ehiqf improvement that
ought to be put upon nils Why could not the
man see that what the.* world wants is
A Dl Mi: VAKIETV OF CAT.
Such an animal would be a blessing unalloyed
except with claws and teeth. In the night her
value would he beyond price. Hundreds of
dumb cats might assemble on the back fence and
spend the whole night in argument, but not a
single sleepei would lx* disturbed. The keen-
eared watcher might occasionally hear the tear
ing of fur, and now and then a cat would drop
from the fence into a hotbed and break a little-
glass, b it the hideous caterwauling that in
many parts of this city reuders sleep almost
an impossibility would be unknown. It is
now a common practice for a cat who has been
shut out of tlic: house at night to sit on the front
step and mew until life becomes a burden to
everybody wit hin the radius of a quarter of a
mile; for a cat has absolutely no consideration
for the nerves of other people, and Is a mere mass
of compressed and consolidated selfishness. But
no matter how much a dumb cat might want to
get into the house at night she could not mention
it, and she would be obliged to wait quietly and
decently until morning.
somethino of vai.lf: to thf: world
might be had if Mr. Galton would turn his atten
tion to the invention of dumb cats. There is
little doubt that by a trifling surgical operation
on a cat’s throat dumbness might be secured.
Cats rendered dumb by artificial means woqld in
turn produce a race of kitieus congenitally dumb,

Columbusites !mu* u great deal of troi.blc witi*
their dogs, beginning about the first of June.
Those who have no trouble of their own are
usually supplied with the raw material by their
neighbors and the exchange of courtesies is
generally maintained throughout the summer.
Arrangements are, however made about this
season of the year for the proper settlement of
all litigated dog cases. The war department of
the city council will, as usual, saject officers to
kill dogs. The labors of these officials could be
easily lightened if the discriminating public
would hear in mind that the justice of
the average dog-killer is blind and.
that the respectability of the various
dogs which roam the streets i< not taken into
consideration when this special "constabulary
duty’s to lx done.” A great deal of official mi:
apprehension could be removed if persons own
ing mad dog« should so label them before set
ting them-adrift on the streets. This was tried
once in Chicago just before the conflagration of
that city by the incendiary performance of Mrs.
Kelly's cow, but the practice has gradually gone
into disuse.
The muzzle on a dog’s nose is not usually, as
thi* lawyers say, a " badge of fraud." It is merely
to provide against contingencies very much as a
dandy back stop in base ball wears a mask or a
rat trap when the delivery is red hot. It is not
necessary for rabies, but as a guarantee of good
faith. Tiie most insinuating dog, the frankest
canine face one meets on the boulevard on a
pleasant June day may be a whited sepulchre
with malice aforethought, for all a brave
lady may know. A dog must, be either
muzzled or nothing. Not that anybody is afraid
of the cyelodal wagging of a hyperbolic tail, but
one insists on it for humanitarian reasons.
Another consideiatiou in regard to the peculiar
relations of tire pet dog to the dear public is that
the dog killer should be a man of rare qualifica
tions; one that should lx willing to face a bull
terrier muzzled or unmuzzled and regardless of
any deceptive professions of friendships on the
part of tlu* "object ofthu orclmante?’.’

These gi nilcim-n went to New York by invita
Don of the builders id’ll.e ('ovington and Maeon.
carrying with them positive a-suruiue that th
read would terminate at Athens.
It was originally intended that tlu* northern
terminus of t In- road should heal a point on the
Atlanta ami Charlotte division ofthe Piedmont
Ai; Line near Gainesville. It is not clear what
inducements have led to the change. As it i*-
the intention of the builders of the road to extend
it. south from Macon so as to eon need with the
Plant sy-tem of Florida railroad-, it will lx seen
Hint Athens will be greatly the gainer.
But the good fortune of Athens does not stop
witn this. Messrs. Thoma- and Hodgson also
carried to New York positive assurance that the
Georgia Midland railroad would connect with the
Covington and Macon at some point south of
Atlanta. ibis connection will virtually give
Athens Iv fh roads.
It is known that an alliance has been formed
between the ('ovington and Mneon and the •Sa
