It can hardly fail to he a paying road. The counties through which it passes will, as soon as it. is completed, be very large producers of lumber and naval stores. Their pine forests, which are magnificent, are almost untouched. Savannah is now the greatest naval stores market in the world, and the completion of the Savan nah, Dublin and Western railway will re sult in very greatly increasing her naval , ...e “ciga rette girl’’ in the advertising pictures. We are now in position to say that the ciga rette girl and the advertising girl are two , entirely distinct persons. The picture of the one graces the wails of our sanctum, and the reulity of the other works in a . shop hard by. The girl on the picture never made a cigarette, and probably never saw one. Any way, the “cigarette girl” is no discredit to the profession, and there can he found worse looking pictures in ninny public places. However, we draw : the line at pictures of the “cigarette girl.” Now is the time to give the babies a | showing. Just think about the little brats a moment and you will see the beauty of it. Leave off as much of their clothes as possi ble—all of them, if you want to. Civiliza tion has killed more than one innocent by over-burdening it with clothes in hot weather, day and night. Frcsti air and room to kick are the best preventives ol ! cholera infantum. I This is the season of the year when the average young man begins to devise ways i and means for ice cream bills. ■ A general impression is that the recent poisoning, so-called, of picnic parties by ( ice cream, while of actual occurrence, have been exaggerated by impecunious young i men, with the hope that the girls would \ be afraid to partake of the luxury, and thus free the poor fellows from a tax many of them are illy able to hear, but which must lie borne mieomplaingly. or subject those who for whatever reason decline to stand up to the he cream stand to the pen- - alt.v of a serious loss of euste. Something more effective than reports of poisoning will have to be resorted to, for what would induce tin average g'r> to forego a plate of lemon, vanilla or strawberry ; would cause a hungry horse to leave ins oats. They ; don't scare worth a cent in that direction.

We got to understand how this was during the war. Of all the “roughs ’ and j 1 “toughs” who enlisted, none as far as i we ean now remember, made anything of a mark, and as soldiers, or tor the posses sion of soldierly qualities, t.liev did not compare favorably with the young fellows who were quiet and w 11-behaved when at home. These turned out to have more en- i durance and had steadier courage. “Roughs” and “toughs” do not even make good congressmen, as was demonstrated tha other day,, and has frequently been ! the natural home of domestic fowls, and of « h animals ns are useful to man for food l : and for work. There the grass grew spoil- i Utneously from all the face of tlie ground, j The dwellers in that land were a hardy and intelligent people and their fathers before them had been tillers of the soil. In that land were no wars or alarms to dis- | turb the people in their peaceful pursuit-, and every mail was free to attend to mat ters pertaining to his own comfort. In the midst of that land was a city 1 , whose inhabitants numbered more than a ■ i score of thousand. That city, spreading I out over the valley and surrounding hills, j wits situated at the head of navigation on ) a beautiful river, upon whose ample waters 1 boats would move up and down, bearing I away nnd bringing hither the products of 1 the earth and the exchanges of commerce. The merchants of that city kept in store all the implements of husbandry, and all articles of household convenience, and whatsoever thing was needful for diversi fied industry, or for the comfort of man or for rendering the cultivation of the earth easy and remunerative. Every condition for the creation of wealth and the growth of prosperity and comfort in agricultural pursuits was most lavishly supplied by a bountiful Providence, by the enterprise of the bridesman, and the skill of the artisan. Now In such a land one would expect to find a great plcntifulneas and variety of food, great storehouses of grain and food for man and beast, and pasture-fields fed upon by fat oxen and sheep and swine, and every larder filled to overflowing with good things for tnnu'sinner comfort. No where would we expect to sec poverty and want, except with the most profligate aria abandoned, but we would look to find the industrious nnd virtuous free from nil anxiety about proper nourishment i for themselves and their little ones. But now, I tell you a strange thing. The inhabitants in that land do not raise the food upon which the dwellers in that city feed. Nay, more, they do not grow the food uponWhich themselves and their own families subsist, nor the provender which sustains their work animals. They have no barns, no meat houses, no larders. The merchants in that cit.v send thousands of miles away into a strange land and buy | from strangers articles of food, not or.lv for j themselves and others dwelling in the city. 1 but they buy ainazingquaiitities with which to feed the people in the rural districts land surrounding country, and to feed ! tiie very animals used in tilling the 1 land. nnd the iron horse is bent putting night and day to bring from a gioat distance xuc.li articles of food as would grow and Hourish nil over itiis ] goodly lard.

The little city of Browneville still pur sues the even tenor of its way, unawed by any of the great agitations which are sway ing other sections of tlie country. Consldei- ing the fact that the population is com posed ulmost entirely of factory operatives, it is rather notable that the citizens have not been affected by the turbulent propensi ty to “strike” which has cropped out so generally the present season in other simi lar localities. The people labor on cheer fully and hopefully, reeling assured in their own minds that their best interest is con sulted by doing so, and that their employ ers are disposed to treat them tairly and pay them as liberally as the times will justify. The fifteen hundred operatives in Browneville deserve grent credit for their conservative views and industrious habits, and as a class they are prosperous, con tented and happy. It would be difficult to find a better manufacturing community in the union. lee Crrant Siqi|irrs In Order. i The Good Templars gave their ice cream j supper and cake cutting last Wednesday j evening at Carder’s hall, according to pro- I gramme, and as usual on such occasions I there was a grand rally of the young peo-I pie. end the affair turned out a pleasant social and fmtincial success. The weather, it is useless to say, has been very propitious for this class of sociables during the past month or two, and our Browneville friends have not failed to “catch on’’ and move I with the tide. 1 The Ladies’Aid Society of the Baptist church propose to give another of their delightful social entertainments at Carders' hull on next Tuesday evening, at which a large supply of cakes and ice cream will be served at, reasonable prints.

After tlie delivery ot prizes the visiting wheelmen were hunqueted by the Colun Special to Enquirer-Sun. Greenville. Ga., July 17.—We had a chat to-day with two of our most substan tial farmers and they say that cotton has improved considerably within the last week, and they now think an average crop will he made. Corn is much better than last year. Judge A. J. Hinton, our clever and effi cient ordinary, informs us that a day or two ago an old darkey sevt nty-three years of age, who lives about five miles from town, came to his office about 7 o’clock in the morning and asked for license to marry, saying that his intended would reach Greenville in about an hour, later As he was in a hurry lie came ahead of her to have everything in readiness. Alter Hie judge had accom modated hint with the desired papers he hastens to find a preacher. Hoon tint.' this tlie woman came puffing into town. She was met by her aged lover and carried in tlie presence of tlie man who was to join other day as to whether the future will I build up as many colossal fortunes ns the I near past, or whether the past fourth of a I century has been a phenonenal period in I that respect. Of course they did not have reference to big fortunes here in Colum bus, for nearly everybody are. very much on an equality in that respect—all rich i alike. Without questioning-* Whether or not big fortunes are evils, a glance at the last thirty or forty years of the country’s history, will satisfy every thinking person that there is hardly the possibility of a re- ! eurrence of such a combination of circum- ; stances and events as those which led to the amassing of such a vast amount of wealth by a comparatively few. Suf ficient time has not yet elapsed to determine what will be tlie outcome of such enormous accumulations as those of Vanderbilt, Gould and some others; whether they will he held intact and go on increasing, or whether they will be divided | and other millions be added to each sepa rate division. There are sound reasons for anticipating such disintegration, and [ equally sound ones for the belief that while some of those to whom will fall portions of ) these great fortunes will add to their shares, the majority will follow in the foot steps of the may who have inherited for tunes, and scatter them more rapidly than they were accumulated. An uptown correspondent, a lady, de sires to know whether it is not possible to rid housekeepers of the annoyance ores ! sioned by peddlers, etc. She says the nuis- . unee is intolerable, and that she is fro- ' quently driven almost distracted by the of any age or any country, I am but truth fully painting the condition of things sur rounding the Queen City of the Chattahoo chee.
