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.

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 For Unit. From September 1st. the 4-room Dwelling now occupied by Mrs. Robison, on Jackson street. aug22 dtillsepl Geo. A. Norris. l>e*ir:tblo Dwell in as fo L«*l.
