DAILY ENQUIRER-BUN: COLUMBUS GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8, 1886. The Good Things that Delight the Eye and Tempt the Palate. foil trill IHntrlliutlng Point for Columbus—Whut W» Hat Hint Whore We (let It—Keened Around tin* Market lloiwo—Entirely llemoenitle in If* <liuruetor— A Peep at tin* Market on Satunlur Night. The city market, the central distributing point of Columbus’s food supply, isat all times an index of the changing seasons and their fruits. At no season is it more attractive than when it is en riched with the products of Georgia’s genial cli mate and fertile soil, and the varied supply of good things which Columbus caterers set before our people. It is a treat to go to the market, if one goes .early enough, but the visitor who would witness the opening scenes of activity must rise early. Long before the light of the approaching day has appeared in the east, thrifty market gardeners are up and preparing to drive into the market. Many who come in from long distances in the country stall the evening before and sleep in their wagons or by the roadside. First avenue, be tween Tenth and Eleventh streets, is the distrib uting point, and no other place in the city is al lowed to do a marketing business. AS DAYLIGHT DOTH APPEAR everybody is busy preparing for the morning business, and marketing is a big business in the city. The market extends for a distance of nearly the entire block, and within this space country wagons have come, loaded with the products of the farm, garden, dairy and poultry yard. But we shall take the market as we come to it, fVom Eleventh street, and tell the readers of the En- quirer-Sun something that even a great number of the citizens of Columbus don’t know, as they never rise early; like newspaper reporters, to see what is going on. The first thing is THE BUTCHER’S STALLS, and there are eighteen of them filled with every kind of meat from the bulky quarter of beef to the most delicate steak or chop. Behind the counters, some of which are marble, stand the smiling and rubicund butchers in shining white aprons with here and there an elegant pin, <it may be a diamond) gleaming from a showy shir front. The array of juicy meats, pink and white steaks, lacy trimmed lamb quarters, with pork, mutton and veal in the greatest profusion, can not fail to attract the visitor. Some physicians account for the healthy appearance of the butchers by the fact that they breathe the particles of meat which escape in the cutting. Their active out door lives are sufficient to account for their rosy cheeks, sturdy arms and powerful shoulders, though we know one of them who drank nearly a pint of warm beef’s blood every morning for his health. He, however, is in poorer health than any of the others. THE MEAT WE EAT will be an interesting item to many. As much •complaint as is usually raised about poor beef, our butchers supply the market with the very best that can be procured. Poor beeves are fre- •quently driven in, and because there is no de mand for them, the countryman at once conies to the conclusion that the butchers have formed a combination to beat him down on prices. Fat beeves are always in demand, and readily bring the highest market price. Of course there are more hogs, pigs and shoats slaughtered in the winter season, but the average number of live stock slain and eaten by the citizens of Columbus for a year is Number Pounds Beeves 3600 1,080,000 Bheep 1200 30,000 Goats 1200 96,000 Hogs 300 4.500 Total 6300 1,220,500 For the privilege of selling these the butchers .pay an annual rentage of from $75 to $100 a stall, which nets the city a revenue of $1525. The stalls are the property of the city, and there are times when one may visit the market and very easily •conclude that the city is not as mindflil of its property as the necessity in the case demands. The street is frequently quite muddy, and there is n#t sufficient drainage for waste water from the water works. Passing from the meat stall we enter THE VEGETABLE MARKET, and ranged on either side of a wide promenade are thirty-six stalls filled with a bewildering va riety of articles of vegetation that would seem to .satisfy every creature want of man, woman or child. In passing along this promenade one goes between barricades of luscious Georgia wa termelons, golden canteloupes, flanked with red and yellow apples. Skilled hands have used the gaudy colors of nature to the best artistic effect. On the vegetable stands are mounds of deep and red tomatoes, silk-tipped green corn, sweet pota toes, crisp cabbages, burnished eggplants, golden onions and the endless variety of garden things, all temptingly arrayed. The amount of vegeta bles consumed in a year is simply incalculable, and the cheapness with which they are sold makes one wonder how the truck formers can afford to raise them. These stalls also bring in quite a revenue to the city, as they rent from $18 to $20 and aggregate $656 for the treasury of the •city. SATURDAY AFTERNOON AT THE MARKET is a field day for those who love the study of human nature and wish to see it in all its differ ent phases. Soon the hum of voices of the deal ers, eloquently depicting the excellence and low prices of what they have to sell, combined with the arguments of purchasers and the exchange of gossip, grows into a distinctive sound, the like of which is heard nowhere else. All who come within the limits of the market catch the spirit of the barter. Children scarcely old enough to tod dle through the crowd, importune the visitor to buy. Boys a little older, peddle chickens, fruits and vegetables. To appreciate the situation, one -must get in the motley throng, and hear the cry: “Here’s your good, nice chickens;” and then another takes up the refrain, “Fresh country eggs, two dozen for a quarter,” interspersed with “Ice cream cakes, five er block,” and sounds of all descriptions,and those beyond describing. Every body has something to sell or is assumed to want to buy something. Among the attendants at the country wagons are not unfrequently fine-look ing girls, whose sun-browned cheeks form a striking contrast to those of, their pale city cus tomers. The market is DECIDEDLY DEMOCRATIC and ladies in silk with servants at their backs, and in search of the best fruits and vegetables in the land, arc- elbowed by the careful wives of me chanics, clerks and others who study to get tin- most for every cent expended and to buv that which will be most enjoyed by the hard-working head of the household. A constant stream of people come and go until nightfall, and long after dark when business becomes less active, and the noise increases in volume. Amid the din of voices may be heard almost every accent of venders crying the cheapness and ex cellence of what they have for sale. Each house keeper or the market woman bears a capacious basket and goes away with them loaded, yet the supply seems inexhaustible. Market people are proverbially liberal, and the number of things dumped into baskets, without money and with out price, would be as interesting as it is unob tainable. The market is not confined to the two long buildings of which the city is proprietor, but DOWN THE STREET on either side, leaving room to pass up and down, chicken wagons are ranged, and below them Uiose who »re not able to rent stalls aud peddle only on Saturday afternoon range themselves in i a line to sell melons, berries, and such vegetables I as ' vil1 bring them a few dimes. They all pay a .license, and help to swell the city treasury. The license for a One-horse wagon is 15 cents per day. Two-horse wagon is 25 cents per day. Hand-carts is 10 cents per day. j For each basket vendor 10 cents per day. I This, in the aggregate, amounts to considerable I during the year, and besides being a source of j revenue to the city, enables those who cannot affoid to rent a stall to dispose of their produce. • and for which they generally get very lair prices. THE MARKET HOURS are from 4 o’clock in the morning to », and on Saturday from 4 o’clock in the afternoon until 9 i at night. The market bell gives notice when | these hours have arrived, and then everybody is I required to sell market produce at the market I house. Meats and such things as that, how- ! ever, are delivered at any hour during the day. | The market is a great place, and much t f inter est is seen by those who do their own marketing | To see it at its best, one must go there Saturday evening and Saturday night.

Hurtsboro, Ala., August 7.-Rain has fallen copiously twice this week which has greatly im proved the growing crops. Corn is made and will be quite plentiful throughout this section. Cotton is doing its big best. The yield will be as good if not better than last year. The state election which was held here last Monday was noted for the small vote cast, viz: 56. This beat usually polls about 250 or 300. The regular democratic ticket received the entire vote Republicans and independents get a black eye here. The board of school trustees held a meeting last Tuesday night and elected Mr. Simmons, of Ozark, Ala., as teacher for the next scholastic Our town has been enlivened this week by the presence of several young ladies, among whom are the following: Miss Eleanor Fitzgerald, of Nashville, Tenn., Miss Pearl Banks, of Columbus, Ga., and Miss Mamie Banks, of Opelika, Ala., who have been the guests of Mrs. W. H. Banks. Messrs. J. C. Cheney, of Oswecliee, and W. J. # | Boykin and Wilmer Waddell, of Seale, are here, j the guests of Mr. Exton Tucker. They partici- i pated in a dove hunt at Mr. John Scarbrough’s yesterday. I did not hear the result, but doubt- J less they had a good time and killed plenty of | doves. I Miss Fannie Haynie left last Thursday morn- ! ing for Warm Springs, Ga., to visit her uncle, I Mr. Ferrell. Miss Jessie Nickols, who has been spending | some time at Boromville, left for her home at Brewton, Ala., accompanied by her friend, Miss Lena Willcoxon, Wednesday last, greatly to the sorrow of one of our popular young physicians, whom madam rumor says will shortly locate there. Your correspondent had the pleasure to attend a festival given by the Masonic fraternity at Seale last week, which was most excellently prepared. To describe the table would be altogether super fluous, as everything that could tempt the taste of the hardest old wool hat, or the daintest dude, was spread before the guests. The people of Seale are noted for and wide for their generous hospitality, but on this occasion they tried to ex cel themselves. Miss Allah Pollard has reached home after an absence of several weeks visiting her sister Mrs Thornton, of Dawson, Ga. One of our popular clerks now,.wears one of his most happy ^niles. NALAI) FROM SEALE. Two Burks That Clot Into Trouble—Fox Hunters Take a Running Start. Special to Enquirer-Sun. Seale, Ala., August 7.—Jack Vann and Tobe Allen, two negroes in jail here charged with at tempting to wreck a train, will have a prelimi nary hearing before Judge O’Neal Tuesday next. Hon. J. T. Norman, of Union Springs will con duct the prosecution. Miss Fannie Mitchell returned from Glennville this morning. An effort is being made to remove the town corporation. A party of hunters left here early this morning fox hunting. They returned at 8 o’clock bring ing three foxes with them. The.current impres sion is that the boys, “had ’em tied out.” Tilt* Amende Honors bit*. Correspondence Enquirer-Sun. Hamilton, Ga., August 5.—Some time ago we wrote a short article from this place for the En- quirbr-Sun, in which we charged Dr. Glass, of Chipley, with running a “blind tiger.” We are now convinced from the facts now before us that we did the doctor injustice in applying that term to him, as he only furnished whisky on the pro scription of a regular practicing physician, com pounded with medicines, believing that came legitimate in his business. We, therefore, take pleasure in withdrawing this language and set ting Dr. Glass before the many readers of the I Enquirer-Sun in his true position. B. H. Walton. Let* County Election. Special to Enquirer-Sun. Opelika, August 7.—The returning board of the county met to-day to ascertain the result of last Monday’s election. On account of irregularities in the returns from several beats it adjourned un til Monday to complete its work. Majority for state ticket will be over one thousand. MICHAEL MACH EC A SI’Itl’KISKO.

The New Orleans Item has an Interesting ac- . count of a surprise that was given Mr. Michael i Mach oca, who is to be married to-morrow to one ! of Columbus’ most lovely young ladies. His friends managed to get him on a steamer and the j Item tells the following: 1 At 10:30 o’clock the deck of the City of Dallas 1 was gay with company and merry laughter flowed, much of which was in anticipation of the I surprise that was in store for Mr. Michael !

After the storm comes a calm, and this our Browneville neighbors are now enjoying. The political turmoil which has existed for several months has ended—ended disastrously to the democrats of Lee county, we are sorry to say. A j serious blunder has been made somewhere, hut ; who is responsible for it we cannot say. If the j voters ol Browneville are satisfied with their tic- ; tion, perhaps we ought not to grumble; the di- j vision of this hitherto solid vote defeated th* j democratic nominees, and the great party has | suffered a blow in Lee ft*, recover.

A long list of very elegant presents is enumer ated and then the Item says- Mr Macheca is to leave for Columbus, (la., Saturday next, ami there take unto himself a partner for life, a fair young lady of Columbus, Miss Verna Hartman. * The wedding is to take place Monday morning, and on the same day the happy couple will leave for New York, and thence sail for Europe on an extended bridal tour. Best wishes of a host of friends, the Item included, for the fulfillment of theii hearts’ fondest desires. Sun i In n. There is c msideruble complaint of the unclean and unhealthy condition of public and private lots in Lively and Browneville. The sickly months are now approaching and after the un usual amount of rain of the summer it is not un reasonable to suppose that a sickly fall will fol low. As far as this can be prevented by a gen eral cleaning up and renovation of lots it should be done and done at once. The property own ers and town authorities of Browneville and Girard should look into this matter without de lay, and take the hecessary steps to secure a thorough overhauling and cleaning up. An ounce of prevention is worth u pound of cure, and it will be too late to bring about a reaction and counteraction after the malignant fevers have set In and death lias fastened his grip upon you. Even cheap coffins will be no consolation when the crisis comes. So go to work now and prevent sickness as far asyou cun by setting your houses and lots in a heatlliy condition. Dentil's Doings. Mrs. Elizabeth Mayor departed this life at her home in Lee county, six miles from Crawford, on the 24th of July in the eighty-third year of her age. The deceased was mother of Mrs. J. D. White and Mrs. E. Pretty, of Browneville, and sister of James and *Jesse Cox, oldest citizens of Harris county. She was a member of Primitive Baptist church and lived and died a true woman. Having served her generation well and faithfully she rests from her labors and her works do fol low her. Mrs. Varner, a highly esteemed lady, died in Browneville July 30. She leaves four children and many friends to mourn her loss. At the time of her death she was about forty years of age. Miss Fannie, a sixteen year old daughter of Mr. J. H. Allen, died in the Valley on Wednes day last. She was a lovely child, and her early death has cast a gloom over many fond hearts. But verily she “has gone to join the angels,” and this is consolation enough for stricken hearts. Mr. Jesse Barnes is passing through a serious spell of illness, but his many friepdsjiope he soon recover. Barnie White, son of J. D. White, is also down with fever, but his condition is not considered dangerous. Hrowiieville Briefs. Browneville is enjoying a season of rest. The watermelons are beginning to deteriorate and begin to look like chills. The small boy brightens up as the muscadine season approaches. A mad dog was killed on Bummersarill block Friday. Miss Nora Floyd’s school has closed for the present, and she will spend a week or two with friends at Opelika. Rev. J. M. Osborne will preach at Trinity this morning and to-night. The soup house has closed up for want of pat ronage. Rev. F. M. Hooks has gone to Troup factory for employment. There was a watermelon cutting at the resi dence of Mr. John Lollis on Friday, which was a more pleasant affair than the Cutting cast* in Mexico. It was rumored yesterday that Rev. Mr. Threadgill, of Tallapoosa, would preach at the Browneville Baptist church to-day, but as he failed to arrive the appointment will be called in. A fight between a buzzard anil a .small boy is reported, in which the boy got worsted. Bully for the buzzard. • Disolution. The firm of Caps <fc Herring has been dissolved by mutual consent. Mr. Herring will continue business at the the old stand, where he will col lect all bills and pay all claims against the firm. GIRARD NEWS. Girard 0.
