The reception with which the announcement that the Enquirer-Sun will issue a special trade edition hns been met is exceedingly encouraging. Although the fact was not made known until Tuesday morning, a large number of orders for space have been filed in the office. It will be almost impossible for a representative of the paper to call upon every business man in the city and personally solicit his patronage, but wedesire every business man represented in it. To this .enclave trust orders will be left at the office at a day as early ns convenient. We desire to get out a good paper, and if o\u merchants and business men will co-operate with us in this attempt, like they have done in the past, success is assured. The indications arc highly fhvomble that they will do this, and so far the matter has been mentioned to only one business man who has not given us an order, and he hnd excellent reasons for not doing so. It will be out of the question for our canvassers lo make several visits to one place; therefore it is hoped every business man will make up his mind ns to what he will do in tin* premises. We want to make it the best paper e\ r issued in Columbus, mial. ed fro llamil- Miss Nattie Barden has ton. Miss Ella Marcus has returned from the White Sulphur Springs. Mr. W. E.

The Concert Last Night for the Benefit of the Charleston Sufferers. Madame Grant and Prof. McCormack gave a i concert last night at Webster hall for the bene- i fit of the Charleston sufferers. There w r ore only j about 100 people present. There should have j been at least 1000. Not only did the entertain- 1 meat merit it, but the object for which it was j given was worthy of a much more liberal pat ronage. Madame Grant and Professor McCormack are both accomplished musicians, and we have never attended a better concert in Columbus. The singing of Miss Theresa Grant j and Miss Hattie Turner was especially fine, and ! called forth frequent and continuous applause, j The gem of the evening was unquestionably the “Greeting to Spring,” by Misses Hattie Turner, I Jodie Struppa, Annie Williams and Theresa ' Grant, During the evening those taking part in the concert were frequently compelled to respond to encores. ’ The audience attested its apprecia tion of the splendid music by frequent and hearty applause. Following is the programme of the evening: PART i. 1. Piano Trio—March Triumphal—Wollen- haupt Misses Katie Sellueraler, Theresa Grant and Mine. A. B Grant. 2.

Columbus didn’t have another earthquake last night. But a man here had a private one of his own. It was a good one,too, and caused no little excitement for a short time. Yesterday evening j just at sunset Mr. J. F. Tallant, who boards at I Mrs. Lary’s, on the corner, of Front and Eleventh t streets, had just just come in from work. Ho is a j gentleman who has an ear for music and an eye —yes, two eyes -for the beautiful. So he sat i himself down in the doorway of his room with his guitar in his lap, and while he gazed pen- . sively at the rod sun going down over the tower ing Alabama hills, lie was softly playing “Jennie With the Light Brown Hair.” But he never finished his song to tell those who were listening what became of “Jennie With Her Light Brown Hair.” There was a tall chim ney just outside his door,and suddenly, without a creak of warning, it came down like a tower of Babel. The crash was terrific. And the next moment the guitar lay tuneless on the floor, but I the musician was absent. He had taken his Rat j and gloves and cane and strolled out. ; No; he had stumbled out. but he had neglected to carry his hat and gloves and cane. It was sundown, and cool, and he didn’t need | them. Others were alarmed by the noise, and ' came with him to see what was the matter. The chimney had gotten out of plumb and fell of its own accord. But Mr. Tallant and everybody in the house enjoyed the occasion just as much as if it had been a bona tide earthquake. Base Kali Brevities.

TIIE COLUMBUS ATHLETIC CLUB. Tlie Third Anniversary Celebration—Committee* Appointed for the Occasion—'The Programme. The Columbus Athletic Club will celebrate its third anniversary at Villa Reich to-night. This club was organized in 1883, and its object is the physical, moral and social elevation of its mem bers. It hns given numerous entertainments, all of which have been signal successes. The cele bration to-night will be no exception to the rule, and bids fair, if possible, to eclipse all previous efforts of the club. The following committees have been appointed for the occasion: Committee of Arrangements Frank C. Reich, chairman; Asher A. Bivins, Hen A. Gerson, Max Simon, Felix H. Burrus, Oscar Sedberry, W. B. Slade. Invitation "Committee— Charles J. Eifler, John Harris, V. J. Pekor, Asher A. Bivins, Max Simon. Refreshment Committee—Ben A. Gerson, George H. Smith, John B. Lee, John D. Schnell, Carl Korchlin. Reception Committee—Fred W. Reich, Albert Hchield, John Klucke, Philip Eifler, jr., James P. Morgan. Floor Managers—Felix H. Burrus, Oscar Sed berry, James M. Broadnax, Frank C. Reich, Robert E. Knvanaugh. The following programme has been arranged : 1. Overture—Conti’s orchestra. 2. Anniversary address by W. B. Slade. 3. Athletic performances by the club. 4. Delivery of the badge by the judges. 5. Dancing. The Judges of the athletic performances will be Messrs. C. Schomberg. W. B. Slade and A. J. Riddle. The exercises will begin promptly at 8:15 o’clock. A large number of invitations have been sent out and many of the friends of the club will be present. Tin* College at Auburn. The A. and M. college, the really—not the re ported— polytechnics! institute of Alabama, situ ated at Auburn, will begin its next session Sep tember 15. Tuition is free. This institution has a reputation over many states which it has won by the liar 1 work and ability of its faculty—a fac ulty that would be an honor to any university in the country. The A. and M. college is a stand ing rebuke to many clap-trap colleg s which are being erected and run in the south of late with no object but to make money, the last object an educational institution should have in view. President William Leroy Broun has a national reputation as an educator, and his presiding over the college is a sufficient guarantee that its work is comprehensive and thorough. Young inen everywhere who contemplate entering a college should correspond with President Broun. They cannot procure a more thorough classical educa tion anywhere in the country. In this college the arts and sciences—as the word polytechnic implies—are taught with special reference to j their practical application; and this is intensely j a practical age. A Forger Captured. Policeman MciVlich tel ha>s returned from New- j ton, Miss., with Joseph E. Jenkins, who is charged with forgery. In May last Jenkins forged the name of two road commissioners to orders on the county commissioners for lumber furnished in re pairing bridges. TH% last order which ho forged was not paid, and Jenkins, seeing that he had been detected in his crime, left for parts un known. At the next session'of the grand jury two true bills were found against him, and the officers were notified to keep a lookout for him. Several days ago it was learned that lie was near , Newton and Policeman McMichael was detailed to go and arrest him. After spending about two days in Newton the officer succeeded in capturing ; liif man, and brought him to this city. Jenkins j is now in jail, but refuses to talk about his crime, i The road commissioners whose name he forged ; are Messrs. J. S. Boland and Joseph Ginn, and the orders were payable to Mr. George Byrd, j Policeman McMichael speaks in special terms of ; praise of the sheriff and deputy sheriff at Newton for assistance rendered him. THE FIRST EXCURSION. Trial Trip Tuesday Horning Over the Covington uml Ha eon Railroad. Macon Telegraph. Yesterday mornii.g at 10 o’clock the first excur sion was run over the Covington and Macon rail- ; road. £ At that hour a locomotive with two passenger coaches attached was in waiting in front of the city park, at the foot of Walnut street. A party of about thirty ladies and gentlemen, to whom invitations had been extended by Gen eral Manager Frubel, were soon on hand and aboard, and pron^tly at 10 o’clock the signal i was given and the train moved off. The trip ex tended us far as the junction of the road with the j Georgia railroad, one mile above Roberts’ sta- ! tion, and was in every respect enjoyable. The run was made without accident of any kind, and afforded the members of the party, as well as the general manager, opportunity to test the effi ciency of the work as far as completed. The dis tance traversed was fourteen miles. The roadbed was mostly level, and the run re markably easy, considering the newness of the road. The train made good time, climbing the grades at a lively rate. Returning, the city was reached at 12:45 o’ch ok. Among those who composed the party were: Dr. and Mrs. Walker, Dr. W. C. Gibson, A. E, Barnes, Mrs. N. R. Winship, Mrs. T. J. Burney, Mrs. W. A. Crutchfield, Mrs. Keith, Misses Cole, Walker, Frobel, Hunt, Roberts, Brown, Sussdorff aiul the following couples: J. S. Ernest and Miss Rubie Turner, of St. Louis; Mr. J. P. Duncan and Miss Emily Hines, Mr. Alex. Cranston anil Miss Alice Carnes, Mr. John S. Persons and Miss Flor ence Roberts, Mr. Cary B. Townsend and Miss Hannah Hines. RUSTICUS' RACKET. Billy Thrift, Know Why S.in Slnwirnto Didn't Pro*|tor—Some timid llruoliitions that Ought to ho .Undo mid Kept. Editor Enquibrh-Siin: Billy Thrifty mid Sam Slowgate were two merchants in the same village and kept the same sort of \ goods. Somehow Billy would manage always to buy his goods at 50 per cent, less than ! Sam would pay for his. j Billy would sell his goods at the price 1 Sam paid for his and made money mighty fast, and flourished like a green bay tree. But Sam, poor fellow! although he was ; up soon and stayed late, and took good care of all the remnants, and wore out a 1 heap of brooms sweeping before his j store, and Bhook hands with all the farmers, and tipped his hat to all the women folks, and kissed all the I babies, yet somehow Sam didn’t seem to i thrive and his affairs got worse and worse, ! until one morning the sheriff went around and shut up Sam’s store. Then everybody I : was sorry and said Sam was a clever fel- | I low, and they wondered why he didn’t get ! along any better. The women all said ! Sam’s wife was economical and was a good j manager about home, and the men said i i Sam didn’t gamble and seemed to try i ; hard enough to get along and nobody could tell what was the cause of Sam’s j ! troubles. But there was one man in that town who I knew why Sam didn’t prosper, and that was Billy Thrifty, th.e other merchant. : But Billy knew how to keep his mouth ] shut aud let other people do the talking. I I lie knew that Sam’s goods cost him too j much and that he couldn’t stand competi- ; tion with the man who paid less for his goods. Now, when I see the fanners in this re- I gion all a workin’ hard like Sam did, and j their wives all a wearin’ cheap calicoes and ' a milkin’ the cows and a doin’ their own housework, and I see thefi ageltin’ poorer every year, I can’t help but think of Billy and Sam, the merchants. There’s bledst to be mighty strong compe tition somewhere, and I tell you if there is then there is no use in tryin’ to keep up the corners agin it. If what we farmers sell costs us as much ns we get for it wo are bound to go under and the sheriff is bound to take charge of our business. I wonder how many farmers in this country have set down and ciphered up what their cotton crop cost them to make it, and then counted up the money it brought and took down the difference. I know some that have tried that, and they say the reason they don’t like to try it any more is because the big figures always manage to get on the bottom side. Well, there ain’t no use to shut our eyes and let things drift, for they are sure to keep drifting down stream. We had better try and get out of the current. Now, it seems to me that every farmer in | tliis country who raises cotton is in compe tition, not only wit h his neighbor, but with every other cotton planter from the Atlantic to the. Rocky mountains. We all sell in the same market, for the money I that pays for it all comes from Wall street j and England. While the sellers are more numerous than the sands on the seashore, I or the stars in the firmament, the buyers don’t puli but two strings. The Georgia farmer who raises bumble- \ bee cotton is in competition with the man who raises two bales to the acre. The | bumblebee farmer is bound to wind up in a bumblebee hole. The wise man foresees j the evil and avoids it, but the foolish man I stumbles and falls in. The cotton farmers | of Georgia are stumbling and falling every l year, and the others coining on Dehind move right up to the pitfall. Well, we can’t all pick up and move to rich land, and if we could and thereby double the volume of the cotton crop, who : but the consumer would get the benefit of it? Now, Mr. Editor, I find your paper is j working like a forty-horse power steam engine to build up your city, and to build j up factories, and railroads, and machine j shops, and small industries. Well, success : to you, for we farmers have made up our , minds to feed all the people you will bring ; here. We are going to turn over a new leaf, and what we can’t eat we are going to sell to the town people; so tell ’em | to come and they shan’t have to send away back to the north for their food. We farmers have been clothing all the naked free gratis, j and been goin’hungry ourselves, and our generosity and self sacrifices haint been | appreciated, and now we are going to do like we boys used to do when we rode double—we are going to get in front and j let the other fellows ride behind some.

Cheaper Freight Kates. The Montgomery Advertiser learns from Mr. C. ! H. Cromwell, general freight agent of the West- ! ern railroad, that a’ considerable reduction lias 1 been made in the freight rates from Montgomery ! to points on the Columbus and Western road, i The Advertiser says : “ At one time Montgomery merchants hail a fine trade along that road and shipped a great many goods to the different sta- j tions. Some time ago the rates from vlie west ; were reduced to Columbus, and uo reduction was ; made from Montgomery. That put Montgomery j at a disadvantage and took off a great deal of her trade. The re action just made is from Mont gomery to Dadeville, Alexander City, Goodwater, i La Fayette, Salem and Youngsboro and other stations along the C. and W. road. It removes , Montgomery’s disadvantages and will enable our merchants to again control a large trade to that section, which was in a preat measure cut oft’by ; the former arrangement.''

Many years ago he took out two policies of insurance in The Mutual Life In surance Company of New York, one for $15,000 and the other for $5000. When these claims were settled the company paid $24,733, the $4733 being a portion of the dividends which Mr. Heath had allowed to remain unused. The total premiums paid amounted to $6139.89, so that the company returned $18,953.11 more than he had paid in, or $4.04 for every dollar invested. This is only one of the thousands of illustrations of the advantage of selecting The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, which is the largest and strongest company in the world, and which, by strict econ omy of management, is enabled to make better returns to its policy-holders than any other com pany.—Atlantic City Review. TWO CLIPPINGS FROM THE BOSTON COURIER Charles E. Adams, of Springfield, Mass., had a life policy of $1000 in The Mutual Life Insurance Company, which amount was paid to his heirs last week. The total premiums paid had amounted to only $70.84. Caleb Thompson, of South Braintree, Mass., had an endowment pol icy in the same company which matured and was paid to him, the total amount being $1231.82. The policies in The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New Yofk pay the holder at settle ment about 6M per cent, compound interest on the investment. D. F.
