“You may say that the Columbus Southern is

posted gentleman to an Enquirer-Sun reporter
last night.
“What do you know about it?" asked the re
porter.
“Well, I can’t tell all I know, but Tom Blanch

project.”
“Well, if Torn Blanchard and Chipley are there
working on it they will be pretty apt to push it
through," remarked another prominent citizen.
Continuing, he said: "To show my faith in it, I
will bet $25 that a surveying corps will be at
work on the route in less than 60 days, yes, l will

fact that these reverend gentlemen felt a deep

of this enterprise are enterprising businessmen
who know a good thing when they see it, and
know no such word as fail. We confidently be
lieve that they will shove the project
with vigor and zeal until it takes tangible shape,
and that the road will certainly be built. The
necessity of the case demands it. There is a
large and fertile territory south of U3 that is un
tapped by rail, and to reap the frill benefits of it,
and, in fact, to keep what she has, Columbus
must have a road through that section. The
business men frilly realize this fact, and will not
sleep over their interests. The Columbus South
ern must and will be built. The people south of
us are as anxious for it as we are.

The Macon Telegraph says that “it is not likely
that Macon will have any baseball next season.
The few who have contributed money toward sus
taining the club the current season are quite em
phatic in saying that they will step aside for a
new issue of pocket books. There are many who
say that unless there is a sufficient (find sub
scribed to keep a team, employ a good manager,
and stand the losss of a few slim audiences they
will pot contribute any more. The present board
of directors have borne the brunt ofthe latter
daymof the struggle, and they deserve all credit
for it\ To ask them for further assistance would
be crowding them. Thus it remains to be seen
vhetl er Macon will have baseball next season.”

47,542 bales. Same’ time last
ar they received 6693, shipped 7515 and had
stocks of 19,244.
The above totals show that the old interior
stocks have decreased during the week 2198
bales and are to-night 24,171 hales more than at
the same period last year. The receipts at the
same towns have been 2060 bales less than the
same week last year, and since September 1 the
receipts at all the towns are 715,099 hales more
than for the same time in 1881-5.
The exports for the week ending this evening
reach a total of 9,458 hales, of which 8,977 wer ■
to Great Britain, to France and 481 to
the rest ofthe continent.
The Chronicle comments on its table of re
ceipts from plantations as follows :
The above statement shows 1. That the total
receipts from plantations since September 1, 1885,
are 5,369,310bales; in 1884-85 were 4,746,090 bales;
in 1883-84 were 4.781,236 hales.
2.—That, although the receipts at the outports
the past week were 8991 hales, the actual move
ment from plantations was only 7814 bales, the
balance being taken from the stocks at the in
terior towns. Last year the receipts from the
plantations for the same week were 3580 bales
and for 1884 they were 1098 bales.
In the table below we give the receipts from
plantations in another form, and add to them
the net overland movement to Aug. 1, and also
the takings by southern spinners to the same
date, so as to give substantially the amount of
cotton now in sight.
Why Some People Marry.
Some people marry for the fun ofthe
thing, and never nee where it comes in.
This is discouraging.
Some marry for the sake of a good com
panion, and never discover their mistake.
This is lucky.
Man is a tickle “critter.” Even Adam,
who had his wife made to order, found
more or less fault with her.
Don’t marry a man for his reputation.
It is liable to be only a second-hand affair ;
borrowed from his ancestors.
Many women have married men for their
fine exterior. But that's all there is to an
ancient egg worth mentioning.
Marriage resulting from love at first
sight is generally wedded bliss on a par
with sour milk. One or the other gets I
swindled, and often both.
Many a man has married for beauty
only to learn that he paid £20 for what ;
can be purchased for 2o cents at all drug- \
gists. This is hard.
But few people marry for pure love
