Mr. Elisha MrFarlnn, a young man, and son of Mr. William McFarlnn, of Upatoic. had one of his thumbs shot off on Wednesday. He was loading his shot gun. and while he was ramming the shot the gun was discharged, inflicting the above named pn infill wound. Hr.

In noticing the applicants for appointment to fill the vacancy in the otllce of solicitor general of this circuit yesterday morning, we stated that •o far as we knew Columbus would not present a candidate.

This is written from the 'midst of wlmt was in the old south, and what is again in the new south, the kingdom of cotton. King cotton is now re-enthroned under free labor. There is now more cotton raised in the south annually than ever in the days “before tin* war,” ami yet.it is said that the plantation is not as remunerative as in “old times. M The yield of cotton is now nearly an average of seven million bales, and the average before the war was hut a trifle over four million. This heavy increase in the crop has been brought about by j the wonderful increase of the cotton acreage pro duced by the use of fertilizers. By this means promised to accept an invitation to the Long view farmers’ club reunion to-morrow. Then we shall have more t" say of this institution and of its beneficial results, ft will be held at Mr. Thomas Brannon's, and the entire club with their families are expected to be present. You may expect something in refen nee to it. THE WATERMKLON CHOP is very fine in this community.

It is not always the children’s fault that they cannot carry a nourish ing lunch to school. Lastly, for these and other reasons, the number in attendance is sure to diminish more than for merly, as the spring and summer months come on and the children grow tired with the longer morning sessions. Those of us parents, who love our children’s best interests, who, in tlu* beauti ful words of Froebel, say to ourselves, “Let ns live for our children,” will fed that we must con- gave a watermelon cutting this morning, and ! suit their physical good first of all, and that noth- nniong the distinguished persons present were a , ing should be considered right that would dimin- preacher, a teacher, two editors, a doctor and ish it in any degree.

Mr. McLestcr is a young J millions of acres, formerly thought to be entirely beyond all possible limits of the cotton belt, have been artificially enriched and made the best of cotton lands in the south. The increase in acre age, large as it is, will he but a small ftictor in the increase of the cotton crop when the use of fertilizers shall have become systematic and gen eral. HOW ARE THE CROPS? is the interesting question just now. no matter what may be the influence that has increased the cotton yield. The reports that have reached the Enquirkr-8un office have not been such as to lead to tin* belief that extra crops would be made in any section. I am now in the cotton fields and corn fields, and so far as this section here is concerned, have seen for myself. If anybody says or insinuates that the crops are not good i«i this section, contradict it flat-footedly. I have spent the day In rambling over the farms around Seale, and know that they are about as good as the land will make them and a great deal better in many instances, ns fertilizers have had a won derful effect. But THE FARMERS OF RUSSELL and particularly in this immediate section, have taken such steps as must result in bringing agri culture up to its highest development. A society has been formed here, and known as the “Long view Farmers Club,” which was organized about two years ago—in fact, the second annual anni versary will take place to-morrow. They have regular monthly meetings which partake more in the nature of a social character. The funner-, j their wives and children, and not unfrequently I inched guests, attend these meetings which nre IVrsoiiiil. held at some member's house. Miss Annie Cameron and Miss Lula Bussey left J looking toward tlu* man of considerable ability and several years' experience in the practice of law. In* Cream Party. An ice cream party complimentary to Miss Maggie Bell, of Montgomery, was given lost night at the residence of Mr. J. W. Pease. There were present a good number of the younger society couples, who spent the evening very en joy ably. Miss Bell will leave for her home to-day, much to the regret of her many friends in this city. Death of Dr. .1. L. Baker. Dr. J. L. Baker died at his res idence, at Buena Vista, Thursday morning. His remains were iuterred the afternoon of the same day. Dr. Baker was a prominent citizen of Marion county. He was seventy-two years of age, a Mason in good standing, and was highly re spected by all who kncw.him. He was the father of Mrs. Hnmp Stevens, of this city, who has the sympathy of many friens in her sad bereavement. A Delta lit fill Knfertiiliimeiif. An entertainment was given by Miss Stella O’Brien last night complimentary to her friend, Miss Linton, of Athens, who is visiting Miss Mary Huuserd. About eight couples were pres ent, and no more enjoyable social event has oc curred in Columbus in a long time. Every one present .enjoyed the occasion to the fullest ex tent, and all felt under obligations to tlu* charm ing little hostess for an evening of memorable pleasure. I All questions yesterday for La Fayette, Ala., on a visit to friends. Captain T. H. Moore returned from Savannah yesterday. Rev. Walker Lewis and family returned from Cartersville last evening. Rev.

Mr. Hamp Stevens returned from Buena Vista yesterday. Speaking hi Salmi Yesterday. The independents, after agreeing to have a joint discussion with the representatives oftlu* regular democratic nominees, refused to allow the demo crats to participate. The agreement previously arranged between the contestants, was that one was to close the debate on one day, and vice versa. At Salem the independent refused to allow tlu* I democrats speakers an opportunity, knowing that the democrats would get the close at Browneville to-night. Colonels J. T. Holland, 8. O. Houston and Gen. George P. Harrison spoke, however, after the in dependent meeting had adjourned. The independents vere represented by Osceola Kyle and W. Robinson, who arc both inde pendent candidates for office. Kyle is a candi date for the legislature and Robinson for judge of probate. A Co hi in him Young Main at tf liens. A visitor at the Athens commencement writes the Enquirer-Sun as follows : “Mr. J. J. Gilbert, of Columbus, was one oftlu* twelve speakers who, out of tlu* large class of forty-eight graduating at the State University on Wednesday, secured a speaker’s petition. His subject was ‘The Press,’ and he handled it in u masterly manner. Among other topics lie treat ed the relative importance of the press as com pared with the other two great means of intor- ■^communications, the telegraph and railroad sys tems ; the reflex influen^esof the country and tlu* readers on the newspaper and vice versa; and the influence of the press on the manners, cus toms. government and morals of the age.

This is a neighborhood extending a few miles northeast ofHeale, the county site, though there ore many members of the club who live iu the neighborhood south and below the railroad. But i*i riding through this particular community t« - day I was struck with the general appearance of the residences and home premises. The people live, they do not merely stay. I could see with out the telling that some influence had done its perfect work. Every house looked as neat and fresh as a new-blown rose. The yard fences were in order and none of tlu* gates off the hinges. Beautiful flowers blossomed in the yards, and tender vines entwined themselves around the colonades and porches along which fair hands had placed a cord for their support. Rare* hot house plants bedecked the flower stands and lovely evergreens shaded the walks in the flower ga rden. ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL and inviting of all these is the hospitable home ofC'ol. John M. Brannon, a brother oft wo ofC*. - lumbuh* most enterprising citizens. As tee ap proached. this elegant country seat we could scarcely await the “ light and come in," Which was spoken like it came from tlu bottom of tlu owner’s heart, so invitingly did the large and wide-spreading water oaks beckon us front the heat of tlu* sun. Here are flowers in profusion and beautiful vines and evergreens. In one corner of the flower garden nestles a beautiful summer house where one may *it and be fanned by the breezes. It needs not be mentioned that the fair hand of his charmii g daughter wields the almost mystic influence that has made this a very paradise in the country. But we must not run o!V into these details, though they are what makes life worth living, as the reader no doubt desires to hear of Seale. Mr. Wash, ington is quite popular, but hardly as great a lion as the PRESIDENT OF THE NEW GUN CLUB, who believes that to reach the highest pinnacle of fame be lias only to beat the Oswlchee club in a glass ball shooting contest. It is rumored this afternoon that the club has at last secured the two barrels of balls from tne freight depot. They have had THE SYMPATHY of the enterprising proprietors of the Russell Register in this little matter of freight. Mr. Alex Stephens, the railroad agent and spicy corres pondent of the Enquirer-Sun at Hurtsboro,.sent friend Whiner Waddell and William Guerry a fine watermelon weighing fifty odd pounds. Un fortunately Alex forget to prepay the express charges and the friends of our esteemed editor were not invited to call around and enjoy the luscious fruit. Speaking of watermelons reminds us that while melons are plentiful here, several very fine ones have recently been sent down from Columbus by telegraph. We are told that there is a probability of establishing a new sta tion near here and if a telegraph office is opened at it. watermelons will be made a specialty. WE CAN’T CLOSE THIS without saying a word about ‘.he Register. It is to-day one of the best country weeklies in Ala bama, and the editor, Wilmer Waddell, is not twenty years of age. He is one of the best and spiciest writers on the Alabama press, and u* young man in the state has a brighter future be fore him. Mr. \V. C. Guerry is one of the clever est fellows In the world, and is equally as compe tent in tlu* mechanical management ol’the paper. He devotes his pers nal attention to getting out a good paper and does it. These young men de serve t tie success they are making. O.

Special to Enquirer-Sun. Atlanta, Ga., July 23.—The Atlantas defeated the Memphians to-day without any trouble and by the victory went to the front in the race for the flag again. Bryuan was put in the box for the Tennesseans with Fusselbnck to support him. The heavy hitters of the league found no trouble in hitting Brynan and got ten hits, with a total of twenty-five bases. Lyons, Strieker and Lynch knocked home runs. The Mem phians found Shaffer for only five hits. 1500 people witnessed the game. The Atlantas lifive now a clear lead over Savannah and intend to keep it, or make somebody play ball. Much sympathy is expressed here for Goldsby, Dundon and Bittman. Cincinnati to-day made an oiler of.$1000 for Lyons and asked for figures on Purcell and Lynch. They don’t get them, how ever.

Freeman, of Coweta county, one of the defeated candidates for congress, in which he heartily endorses the nomination of Hon. Thomas W. Grimes, and his frank and open conduct during the campaign. Col. Free man not only pledges his earnest support of the nominee, but says he will canvass the district in his interest should occasion arise for so doing. Those who know Col. Freeman expected, of course, that he would endorse the action of his party in convention. comments of the press. Merriwether Vindicator: “Hon. T. W. Grimes, the democratic nominee for congress iu this dis trict, is a fine lawyer and a young man of ability and promise. While Meriwether preferred Col onel Harris, let the county give Tom Grimes a rousing vote. Columbus has often stood bv Meriwether’.-* choice, let Meriwether now roll up a big vote for the man Columbus delights to honor.’’ Augusta Chronicle : “Hon. Thomas W. Grimes has already acquire^ an enviable reputation in Georgia and will no doubt win national fame at Washington. He is one of the young men who know how to climb to the top where, as Webster said, there was plenty of room.” Montgomery Advertiser: “Mr. Thomas W. Grimes, of Columbus, was nominated on Tues day last as the democratic candidate for congres from the fourth district of Georgia. He is a young man of decided ability, who has already made a splendid leputatiow at home, and will add to it oil the broader field to which his fellow- citizens have called him.” Newnan special to the Atlanta Constitution . “The nomination of Hon. Thomas W. Grimes for congress from tl is district is heartily approved and endorsed by Coweta county. While we were disappointed in not securing the nomination of Coweta's choice, we feel that the district could not have named a worthier man than Grimes, nor one who could render the district more faith ful and effective service. He is a true man, and in intellect the peer of any man Georgia will have in the fiftieth congress.” NEW SCIIKDI LK OF RATES. • Ccntrill Railroad Makes null and Easter New Rates i Points. SHUT Oi l.

The Mobiles had Alexan- I dria in the box and the locals were unabie to find i his balls, making only t« o or three scratch hits | and failing to score a run during the entire* game. It may be said in behalf of the Amateurs that they entered the game very much j discouraged. They had gone to considerable expense to get the Mobiles here, and although yesterday afternoon was as favorable as it could have been, the attendance was very small.
