THE CHARLESTON CALAMITY.
Two Coinmbusltes Visit the City by the Sea—What
They Say About It.
Messrs. J. 8. Garrett and A. M. El ledge returned
from Charleston yesterday. They report that
there has been no exaggeration 5 u newspaper re
ports of the destruction visited upon the city.
They visited every pail of Chariest m, and every
where they were met by scenes of disaster. Hand
some brick buildings had tumbled down, or were
tottering, ready to fall. They state that it is sim
ply out of the question to describe the ruins—it
45 must be seen to be appreciated.

needed there since Saturday was something to ,
draw the minds of the inhabitants away from

accumulated debris, and buildings will be in the j
process of being torn down for months yet,

people confound the county registration with the

Those who fell to register now cannot vote in

not be neglected.

AN ENJOYABLE ENTEBTUNDENT.
The Third Anniversary Celebration of the Colum
bus Athletic Club.
The Columbus Athletic Club celebrated its
third anniversary celshration at Villa Reich last
night. The spacious hall was beautifullj' deco
rated with Japanese designs, and several hun
dred ladies nnd gentlemen honored the occasion !
bv their presence. The first thing on the pro- j
gramme was an overture by Conti’s band, which
was greatly enjoyed.
Mr. W. B. Slade then delivered the anniversary
address. It was a perfect gem, and the young
orator won the unstinted praise and applause of
the large audience.
Then came the athletic performces on the ;
gynasium, horizontal bars, leaping, etc., nnd all i
agreed that amateurs never did better. One
gentleman remarked that he never saw anything
to equal it except by professionals. The young
gentlemen displayed great muscular strength j
and skill. A gold badge was offered to Hie best
athlete. At the close of the exercises the judges,
Messrs. A. J. Riddle. C. Schomberg and W. B. 1
Slade, retired for a few minutes consultation.
Upon their return Captain Riddle, after highly J
complimenting the young men, announced that !
the badge had been awarded to Mr. Charles J, ,
Killer. Special mention was made of Mr. Robert I
Kavanugh. j
Dancing was then begun and was continued i
into the wee sum’ hours. There were a large !
number of couples on the floor, nnd though the ;
night was warm, they entered fully into the
pleasure of the dance and seemed loth to have it !
end. During the evening refreshments were
served, ami altogether the entertainment was j
the most enjoyable of the kind ever given in j
Columbus.
The Athletic Club is composed of substantial i
young gentlemen, and its object is the physical, ;
moral and social improvement of its members. j
It fills a good place and deserves to be encouraged
by its friends.

TOWN LOTS
For Kale nt Wnverly, Hull, Georgia.
We will offer for sale on October 15th, 1886, at
the above mentioned place, immediately on the
line of the Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad (a
new road that is being bujlt from Columbus to
Athens, Ga., connecting with the Central, East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, Richmond and
Danville railroads). Waverly Hall is situated in
the ‘‘garden spot” of Georgia, farming lauds
yielding above an average. The best school and
church advantages already established. Society
Isas good as any city in Georgia or elsewhere.
People are alive to anything progressive, and
willing to lend a helping hand to any who may
locate in our midst. It is one of the best trade
point? in Harris county, being thickly populated
already, and only needs the new railroad now
being built to make it the nicest town in the state.
Hoalfhfulness of the place is unexcelled. Water
the best. Between 2500 and 5000 bales of cotton
will be shipped from this point coming season.
This alone will be worth the consideration of
thoughtful business men who wish to do a good
business without having any heavy expense. To
those who wish to give their children the very
best educational advantages, our people especial
ly ask them to come and locate among us. All
parents are well aware of the advantage of edu
cating their children in the country than in the
cities in a moral point of view. Any further in
formation or inquiries will be cheerfully answered
by applying to I. H. Pitts & Son,
