Work, not words,count most.” Clank! ciank: clank! And the spike on the outside of the rail had been ient up to the head. Then another was driver on the inside, and President Jordan laid down the hammer and stepped a side with a smile of satisfaction which he so well deserved to wear. “Bring up that car load of rails, boys,” com manded the gentleman in charge of the convict*, and in two minutes track laying on the Georgia Midland bad begun in earnest. There were a number of prominent citizens present to witness this, one of the mott import ant events in the history of Colurnba-*. .Among them was Mayor Grim and set era msrmbera of the city council and a majority of the b.ard of dtfcctotl of the company. It waa indeed gratify. Ing to those gent/ev.en who projected and have labored -' foithfully and earnestly for the - oc- cew of thl-: enterprise to see the beginning of that portion of the work which always assures the public that a railroad com pany means buxine**. Roads a.-*r often grade 1 and never operated, but when the Iron is laid a railroad becomes a railroad ‘.n fact. It was a fitting thing that G Gunbv Jordan was selected to drive the first spike. No other rnan has done so much for the success of this enterprise. He ha* staked his reputation and his money upon it, and he has given it hi* best taient and energy. With him and his co-laborers thia has not been a selfish work. It has been a work of love, in y/art at least. Columbus needed the road. It was necessary to her future prosperity. These men recognized this faerr and with cr^rornenTable public spirit they went to work to get it, and they have succeeded beyond question. Their success Ih the success of all ColumbuM. The track laying machine arrived yesterday and will be put on the line to-day. When everything gets to working smoothly o.ne mile of track will be laid a day. and in thirty days the Georgia Midland ••ill be bring ing cotton to Columbus.

THE FIRST INSTALLMENT Dt*E. f'nder the terms of mbw-nption to the stock of th«- Georgia Midland, twenty-five jter cent, of the amount subscribed was to be paid upon the com pletion of the grading of each section of twenty miles. The first twenty miles have been com pleted and the directors met in this city yesterday and 5>a»**ed a resolution instructing the treasurer, Mr. C. L. Davis, to call for the payment of the first installment of 26 per cent. The notes are at the National Bank of Columbus and are now due, anil will no doubt be promptly paid by the subscribers.

Are we to be without a Lbrnry also? # For time .; hs-s been : opposed by many that the library was on a boom. How this Im- prw-sion got .uy we are unable to say. At any rate, the present action of the director* shows the contmcj. FLa* the library is popular i» prr/veo by the n . ver of people who vi-.It it.each day, and that the books are used is shown from the monthly reports of the librarian, which sh >w Cor the three month* ending September 1st a cir- cnla.i -c of K»V In Ban lay’s Ex^ltreu there was. & «ta*ement from the president of the board of directors, showing that the total indebted of the library is only $220.23. Are we to allow our library, containing nearly 7500 volumes, and among the number some very valuable works, having rooms conveniently located, well fur nisher! and lighted and all arrangement* nec- e«*ary for conducting a successful institu tion, cloaed on 2ccocnt of the small s im of t;/2j 2.3. Wont some of our pa olio spirited men ome to tbe rescue? I have heard numbers of people say within the past few days, “It will be a shame it they allow the library to be cloaed.” Who are they? Are you not yourself a member of the community yon designate by the pronoun tfaev? I yet everybody help the library. There are very few who are not able to be members, a . * when yr think it will be a shame if’'they” let the instituricn fail, remember it will be a shame if you iet it fail, and it wii: be a disgrace if Columbus doer allow the librar- to be closed. Every intelligent person know* the g'-od such an in-ditutif'n does in every neighborhood and every po. ~ n knows that a place the -ue a this i* able to ; pport one. We have been told that i» will take four hundred members to con tinue the institution. The roll cf mem bership aV'-v.-i nearly three hundred paving * members: purely 100 members more can be found. The dues are only $1 every three months, or 33' j cents per month. The idea of giving up an institution that does as much good and affords as much pleasure as the library, simply because it requires a membership of 400, who are expcc el to pay 3.: .-.cent* per month to sustain it! I fee' . confident that our citizens will not allow such a disgrace to be put upon the fair name of our c ty. Let the ladies, those noble workers who respond to every good cause, assist in this matter. Let •-ach of the 300 who are now members add their h Ip: let every citizen of our loved Columbus Co something. If every one of the 300 who are now members, will add one new member, we will have a membership more than sufficient to sus tain us. Talk library among your friends, atk your neighbors and acquaintances to join, get everybody interested and let us make one more effort, even if it be a herculean one, to put « ur « valuable library on a solid foundation . .-t -rr-arilc's telegraphic weather reports f r the reek ire thus rammarized : Th«i; r-:r - cf the country lying east of the M si'-vTpi ri.er visited by an earthquake 7u-r Lxy nicht. which was most severely felt ;u the: atyacherz states.

Enquirer-Sun : While I am a member of the hoard of directors, and chairman of the library committee, I was necessarily absent from the meeting of the 3d instant, when a resolution was adopted to call in the books and wind up the affairs of the library. Moreover, I was not ap prised by any one of the gentlemen of the board ' that they expected to take such important and extraordinary action. I do not recognize that we, as a board of restricted and certain powers, have the right to do as we have done. The reso- ; lution, if necessary, should have been adopted at a meeting of the members of the library associa- j tion, called for the consideration of that particu lar purpose. I respect frilly, but firmly, dissent from the action as taken by the other gentlemen of the board, i have urged that a m eting of tbe association be called at once. Respectfully, W. B. Slade. A Long Axo ( Itizen. The following letter received by us last night ( expluins itself: Adrian, Mich., August 30.—Editor Enquirer- Sun : 1 send you to-aay papers announcing the death of my step-father. Orville P. Layard, who was a resident of your city eighteen years before the war. There may be some old residents who will remember the doctor, as I have heard him speak so highly of the people of Columbus. I have often neard him speak of a magnolia grove he set out himself in front of his residence. Some of th&old-timers will remember him. Yours, W. C. Schoolcraft. The Adrian Evening Record thus speaks of hia death : The news of the death on Saturday afternoon of Dr. O. P. Layard, who has resided for the past few years in Raisin, has cast a gloom upon a large circle of friends in this city who knew him and liked him well. The doctor was oneofna- ture’s noblemen, a genial, whole-souled, accom plished gentleman, who commanded the respect and admiration of all who knew him. This afternoon the last sad services preparatory to the ( interment of the remains at Oak wood are beinj conducted at the Quaker church. j Oat a* Ball. , *» llarcissa Johnaou, the white womafc who shot Walter Serving, fitioceedad in making bail jeS* terday and was released from custody.
