The first german of the season was given at the
residence of Mr. J. W. Pease last night. Quite a
number of young people attended,and it is useless
to say that all had a most delightful time.
Conti's Italian band furnished the music, which
added much to the pleasure of the occasion.
Tlie Kiiiulits of Labor Festival.
'The Knights of Labor festival closed last night.
The attendance was very large, and the patron

its utmost capacity, and everybody present had a
delightful time. The festival was a great sue Jess
throughout, and the managers are highly grati

ltolfUMHl From Custody.
Mr. James Dudley, the young* man who was
arrested at Abbeville, Ala., charged with horse
stealing, has been released lYom custody. The
evidence of the fact that he is sutycct to fits of
Insanity was so unquestionable that the officers
decided that it was best not to hold him for trial.
Mr. Dudley is a Russell county young man, and
Ib well known In this city.
The Services at St. Luke.
The revival services at St. Luke church were
well attended last night and much interest was
manifested. Rev. G. G. N. MacDonnell, the
pastor, preached an able sermon, to which the
congregation listened with profound interest.
The meetings will be continued every night this
week, and the public is cordially invited to at

The Cotton Men Begin to Buy the Fleecy Staple on
the Wagons.
It will be remembered that last fall the ware
housemen met and determined to buy no more
cotton on the streets. They claimed, and no
doubt justly so, that it costs them too much
money. Their action, however, was very much
opposed by the merchants and the farmers, and
the merchants claim that Columbus lost cotton
and trade by it.
Yesterday, however, the old order of things
was renewed, and several cotton buyers were at
work on the streets. It looked like old times,
and competition was lively. One of the ware
houses first put a man on the streets, and others
followed suit in self-de'ense. The merchants are
delighted at the return of the old custom. One
of them said to an Enquirer-Sun reporter
yesterday afternoon:
"I think it is the best thing that could have
happened for Columbus. It may be true that the
warehousemen will not make as much money,
but the merchants will make a great deal more.
It is Hie cotton that is brought in on wagons that
brings us our retail trade, and everything that
tends to lessen the receipts by wagons strikes a
blow at the retail business of the town. I hope
this street buying will be continued throughout
the season. I believe it will add largely to our
receipts of cotton by wagons and to our trade.
I want you to print it in big letters that cotton
will hereafter be bought on the streets of Colum
bus.”
A leading warehouseman said yesterday even
ing: “I am not in favor of street buying, but, of ] formed by Rev. Mr. Bullock, of Chipley, in his
course, if one warehouse starts it we will all have j usual impressive manner. After the marriage
to fall into line. It causes a ruinous competition, the bridal party repaired to Ml. Olive church,
Some reckless buyers pay as much or more for I where there were many anxious friends awaiting
cotton than we can get for it. Then the loss falls ' them. Both have many friends who wish them
on the warehousemen. As for myself, I would ! happiness in their new life,
prefer to do a legitimate warehouse business,
even if I received a few bales less of cotton.”
There is no doubt that street buying will be a j
feature of the Columbus market this season. It !
may hurt the warehousemen, but the general ! WmitiMl
impression i° that it will greatly improve busi- D .. .... .*

The Birmingham Extension.
A correspondent writing from Birmingham
says: ‘‘A gentleman direct from Savannah said,
‘I have an intimate friend in the employ of the
Central railroad of Georgia who heard Mr.
Raoul, the president of the company, say there
was no question but that the Central road will
come to Birmingham from Goodwater; that the
contracts of the road will be signed before the
annual electiou, which does not occur until Jan
uary, and the action of the board of directors
will not affect them. Besides the work is now
being carried on this side of Goodwater, coming
towards Birmingham, which fact seems to be
forgotten.’”

“.My Aunt Bridget.”
The theatrical season will open nt Springer
opera house to-morrow night by the presenta
tion of “My Aunt Bridget.” The Richmond
Whig has the following to say of the play :
“My Aunt Bridget” at the theatre last
night was a decided success. The company,
without an exception, is really good. The comedy
went from beginning to end without a dash, each
one of the performers playing with a good deal
o? spirit. The songs and dances are entirely
new, and each one was encored, and
some received a triple (fall. The
Aunt Bridget of Monroe, and the McVeigh by
Rice, were both clever impersonations. Mr. Rice's
dancing with Miss Katie Hart, who took the
character of Polly, was unique and excellent.
Miss Hart is an accomplished dancer. Miss
Chester lias a very sweet voice. In fact, the
whole company is good, and it is needless to par
ticularize.
There is not an objectionable feature in the
play, while at the same time it is brim ftill of
amusing incidents. Those who attend the mati
nee to-day and the performance at night will
have a real treat.

The late Silas D. Montgomery, of South Sliafts-
bury, Vt., took out policy No. 107,145 in the Mutu
al Life in 1870. The policy became a claim last
spring and appears in the list of June 18. The
face of the policy was for $1000, and the additions
amounted to $407, or only $35.20 less than the
total amount of premiums which had been paid
dn the policy. Insurance for sixteen years, and
$1000 to the estate of the insured, cost therefore
$2.20 per year.
In January, 1886, Dr. George W. Blake, of lowei
Salem, Washington county, O., took out policy
No. 259,230 in this company for $1000, paying one
annual premium of $31.80. On June 10, 1885, he
died. In August the company paid his wife
$1002. Within eight months (Vom the time the
poliey was issued, Mrs. Blake had received from
the company $1002, which had cost her husband
$31.80.
Joseph B. Barnes, a former of Northampton
county, N. 0., had paid but one premium of $57.99
on his policy of $1500. At the time of his death
last week, his heirs received $1503, as the (Vuita of
this small investment.
In 1861, John H. Young, of Beverly, Massachu
setts, insured his life in this company for $2000.
He allowed his dividends to accumulate, and laBt
week Ills widow received $3558 ns the result of his
loving foresight.
Dr. George P. Barnes, of Bristol, R. I., secured
a policy in this company for $3000, on the five-
year distribution plan, July 1, 1385. On the third
day of last October he was stricken by heart dis
ease, and died as though he had been shot.
This hnppened in Dresden, Germany, while lie
was on Ids wedding trip; and last week the full
amount of the claim, on which but one premium
had been paid, was handed to the young wife
and widow.
In this week's list of paid claims appears the
name of George N. Walker, a prominent citizen
of Peoria, 111. In 1848 Mr. Walker took a $3000
ordinaay life policy in this Company. It cost
him $75 a year, and he kept it paid up until the
day of his death. The accumulated dividends
nearly equal the face value of the policy and the
total claim $mid'to Mrs. Walker is $5727.

The red-headed duck that left her own place
To quack about pictures diplayed in a case,
It appears had set down on a great hornet’s
nest,
And got badly Riddled about her soiled breast.
We propose with Rhyme and Reason o'Ur Cases
to defend;
And when Fowl birds attack us, we will Fight
Them to the end.
We are not the Birds of Passage, having lighted
here to stay.
And we warn the Envious “Crowners,” they
HAD BETTER KEEP AWAY !
Our work may be “Pretentious,” since we’re
striving after Fame.
But “Whitewash” is “Old-fashioned,” so its use
we must disclaim;
We leave it to the Fowl birds, who Need its
wholesome smell.
By a New and Better Process we Can and Will
Excel.
Our Growth is Sure aud Steady, for our Pictures
stand the Test.
Let the duck “quack” a^she pleases, the People
Kuow us Best.
Our Work is doue at Prices that are Reasonable
aud Fair,
And for Permanence and Beauty is not surpassed
elsewhere.
To our many Friends and. Patrons we extend our
Hearty Thanks.
And assure them we will ever be Foremost in
the Ranks.
As Photographic Artists, and as champions with
the Pen.
We will earn the good opinion of all honest,
minded men
