Yesterday, while n horse belonging to Mr. Oli ver Holmes, of Russell county, was standing near the auction house, he became frightened and ran away. He ran into a wagon in front of Jef ferson’s store and smashed Mr. Holmes'buggy up considerably, hut the wagon was only slightly 1 damaged. While this horse was running away j there were a number of other horses standing ! unhitched in the street. People should he care- • ful to fasten their horses securely when leaving them in the streets. lufncturing institution 4 ice until our city is now ve in all the south. The city of Columbus is a true type of southern pro gression. It puts to flight the usual statement that northern capital is necessary to tin.'perfect development ofthe south and her resources. Let w* see for a moment what we have. Starl ing with nothing in 1865, our textile manufacto ries alone make products to the amount of $2,130,685 annually. They pay to the operatives million dollars—in exact figures year in wapes. They give employ- • than 3000 people, and have an in vestment of$3,890,338 capital stock. There was a small concern some people called iron works at t lie close of the war,hut now we refer to the fact with much pride that Columbus has the largest iron works south of Richmond. What has the figures to say upon this subject? There is an investment of$452,000in iron manufacturing and the annual value ofthe products is <576,920. These institutions distribute yearly $112,821 in wages to the employees. In flouring and grist mills there is an invest-j ment of $195,000 with a product of about half a ; million dollars, and various other industries 1 ver half 5:16,519—er tent to mi The south pier of Bull creek bridge has been completed. The other pier is being rapidly built. They are of handsome granite, and present an imposing appearance, and are splendidly built. Woodruff's, Ivey's and McCue’s forces have all been moved, having completed their first work. This puts camps over the entire road Aom Co lumbus to the tunnel, with two additional camps in Pike county. j Pound’s camp, now near Ellerslie, will bi ready to move about the 12th of this month. The hi 'cut on Mr. Miller’s land, on Clayton’s contract, will tie completed b\ Saturday, 14th. O’Neal A: Putteyson have so nearly completed their contract of four miles that they are sus pending some of their hands. Those of our renders who have noticed the work near and in thecity have observed that no grass has grown under these live contractors. ! There has sprung up near the tunnel a small, village with quite a lively air to it. It is situated on the clem, cold waters of Pigeon creek, where the air is pure and bracing. Lumlev & Foley performed no small feat in bringing their tunnel ears on their wheels over a new mountain road a distance of about ten mile-. Two saw mills have been reccntty started at Woodbury, and the wideawake citizens of that place are going to build many modern and sub stantia i houses there. Lands are rapidly appreciating all along the line of the railroad. Every property owner has gotten back his subscription already in enhanced value of his property. If'our oiti/.ens will call to mind the recent sales of the Hogan and Carter real estate they can form some Idea of the vapidly increasing value being given to Columbus lots by the railroads be ing built here now. We look for the population of Columbus to be doubled in the next five years. Nature has done .so much for the place tl at it needed only a little effort ofthe people to put us on the upward move. The people acted and in no stinted way. The first depot mtside the city is just in front of the splendid mansion in which Miss Augusta Evans, the authoress, first saw the light. A part ofthe beautiful grove in front of this handsome suburban residence is the right of way of the road. The company will doubtless make a small park there. This station wiil be known as Rose Hill.

To recapitulate: We annually use raw material to the amount of $2,445,709* From that we have products valued at $1,151,639, or an excess of $1,030,359. After paying out $949,- 808 in the cost of production, there is st’ll an ex cess of $670,551 in the treasury of our paying in stitutions.
