The ftineral of Mrs. Henrietta Gordy took

ing at 9:30 o’clock. The services were conducted

Death of Mr. N. I 1 . Phipps.
Mr. N. P. Phipps, of Smith Station, died yester
day afternoon at 4 o’clock. He was only 26 years
of age, and leaves a wife and one child. He was
a son of Mr. Joseph Phipps, of this city, and a
brother-in-law of Dr. Glass. He was a consistent
member of the Baptist chuuch and an honorable
and worthy young man, whose death is deeply
regretted by a large circle of friends. His remains
'Will be interred at Smith Station this morning at
9:30 o’clock.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.
Butler, Oa , September 17.—About 4000 people
assembled here from thisj and all the adjoining
counties to witness the hanging of Jesse Cook,
the negro wife murderer. The sheriff gave him
the benefit of the last hour, and ordered the
guards to meet at the court honse at 3 o’clock.
They took charge of Jesse and carried him to
the gallows. At 3:25 the trigger was pulled, and
the body fell four feet. He died from strangula
tion in twenty-five minutes. His body was
turned over to his relatives.
He made a talk, but never said one word con
fessing his guilt. He safti he had by faithful
prayer been made infinitely happy to meet the
hour. He has evinced considerable nerve all the
time, talking freely and pleasantly to all who
called to see him. He says he obtained lauda
num in Columbus, and showed me a two ounce
bottle that he had used for neuralgia and to
make him rest well. He did not wart to add
self-murder to other sins, as he believed God
would not forgive him.
He was requested to make a confession as a
warning to others.
He replied that if the people would not believe
Moses and the prophets and the life of Christ,
they would not believe him. He has had a good
appetite all the while, rested well last night aud
eat his meals to-day. He asked them all to meet
him in heaven.
The law has been enforced, but many a person's
sympathies were aroused, and doubtless the
larger portion of the crowd will never witness
another hanging. He was hung in sight of
where the murder was committed, and in ten
steps of where Smart Bass was hung soon after
the war for killing Conductor Cozari.
SECOND BAPTIST CIIIKCH.
Rev. J. IV. Howard I’litiulmoiisly Ko-elcetcri as
Its Pastor.
The Second Baptist church held a conference
meeting 'Thursday night for the purpose of con
sidering the matter of Rev. J. W. Howard’s resig
nation ns pastor, and also to select a pastor for
the ensuing year. There was a good attendance
of the membership.!
A visiting brother being present, was asked to
preside over the deliberations. It was very mani
fest, from the remarks of several prominent
members, that the church was not at all inclined
to give up Mr. Howard yet awhile, at least.
Mr. Howard’s name was, after some discus
sion, put in nomination, and no other name be
ing offered, a rising vote was taken and he was
chosen pastor for another year without a dissent
ing voice.
The question of the pastor’s compensation was
t hen considered and each member present was
asked to name the amount he or she would pay
monthly, throughout the year, for the pastor’s
support. Nearly or quite all responded to the
extent of their several abilities. A committee
composed of the deacons and the moderator vas
then appointed to wait on Brother Howard and
inform him of the action of the church and ask
him to accept the call. His answer has not yet
been given.

TALBOTTON TOPICS.
«
The Superior Court In Session—Small Attendance
anil the Cause of It—The Attractions of Talboton
Fen Criminal Cases on the Docket.
Special Correspondence Enquirer-Sun.
Talbotton, Ga., September 17.—The superior
court is progressing slowly. There are a large
number of cases on the docket, and the Talbot
ton lawyers with their usual diligence and zeal
are ready in nearly every case called. Then they
iry their cases thoroughly, going over all the
points at length, and this takes time. It now
looks like the court, after holding the two weeks
allowed by law, will a Ijourn before the docket
is half through.
Judge Willis seems to be himself again and is
presiding with dignity, giving satisfaction both
to the bar and the people.
The slim attendances upon court is quite
noticeable. I never saw so few people here
during court week. Whether they are more
anxious then usual to pet opt their cotton during
the fine weather, or whether the closing of the
• red liquor” bar deprives the town of its former at
tractions, I do not know; but the fact is evident.
Nor have I seen a single man here this week un
der the influence of whisky, although I did hear
of some on Monday. Perhaps there was some
imported on that day by non-residents which
was divided out on the first day, but the supply
was soon exhausted, and quiet and order pre
vails.
There was a jug-maker here with a wagon
load of his ware for sale. I noticed that his stock
consisted of churns and pitchers; there was not
a single jug on hand. This may have been
caused by the great demand for jugs having ex
hausted his stoek before reaching town; or it
may be that the prudent jug-maker had brought
only churns to this market.
Amongst its other attractions Talbotton has a
fine iiiilittfry company and a brass band, both of
which have been exercised during the week. The
band has a teachqr and they practice at night in
the opera house, which is hard by the hotel. Some
of the lawyers, with no music in their souls, ex
pressed a preference for sleep, but those who
could appreciate a good thing highly enjoyed the
martial strains. Capt. G. E. Thomas, the accom
plished and genial captain of the City Light
Guards, came up Thursday to inspect the Talbot
ton Rifles. This fine company, under the com-
mond of Col. Jesse J. Bull, were formed in front
of the hotel about 4:30 o’clock to undergo the in
spection, which was performed in true military
style. After completing this duty Capt. Thomas
took charge of the boys and put them through
for about two hours. The drill was i ighJy
creditable both to the captain and the companj’.
He showed that he had not forgotten his old
military training in the war, and if he has been
compelled to let out his sword belt several holes
he is still able to undergo another campaign in
the service of his country. Next Monday the
criminal docket will be taken up, and it may be
that the case against Calhoun will .be tried. I
learn that there are not many persons in jail, aud
one grand juror told me that if prohibition re
mained there would soon be no work for that
body.
It is supposed that the civil docket will be re
sumed on Wednesday and will continue during
the week. C.
A Moonlight Picnic.
\ large party of young ladies and gentlemen
of the city attended a moonlight picnic at the
residence of Mrs. McCauley in Sommerville last
night. Disbrow’s immense picnic wagons were
called into service and both were well filled. The
occasion was heartily enjoyed by all who at
tended.
“Not a RiieMtiou of Jlruiii*.*’
Wichita, Kan., August 22,1886.
To the Agent of the Mutual Life—Dear Sir:
Success in this world is not a question of brains.
Last winter I made the acquaintance of a. gen
tleman who used to be worth $250,000. During
these years he took out $11,000 15 year en
dowment in the Mutual Life. When it had run
11 years he broke up in business and lo.-t all but
his policy, for which the company paid him
$8,000. This gave him a second start. He said:
‘‘If I had not taken an endowment policy I
would now have to work by the day, as the
money paid for the insurance would have gone
into the business.’’ Respectfully,
D. C McKinnon.

Fair and square dealing, coupled with courte

that favor the Ceutral Drugstore, Evans &

are never too busy to give information or show
our goods, whether you buy or not. In the last
few days we have received a lot of the prettiest
and best made Tooth Brushes to be obtained,
specially imported for our trade. So much
trouble is experienced from the bristles coming
out of brushes. In the one we are offering this
objection is obviated.
We are now headquarters for the Oakley Soap
and Perfamery Company, and have on display a
magnificent line of their goods we are selling at
living prices. Our stock of Hair, Tooth, Nail and
Scrubbing Brushes, Ivory, Celluloid, Rubber and
Horn Combs, Whisp Brooms, Clothes and Black
ing Brushes and Polishers is very complete -
every style, make and price always on hand. We
stock every new preparation in the Drug, Chemi
cal, * Patent Medicine, Perftune, Soap or Toilet
line as soon as brought to notice. Many articles
can be found in our varied stock that cannot be
obtained from other sources.
To the smoking public let us say we have re
cently received large additions to this depart
ment, and we think there is no stock of Cigars
in this section equal in quality to ours.
Recent heavy additions to our Toilet Goods
line now gives us the largest, most meritorious
and prettiest line in Columbus. We shall con
tinue to dispense Soda water for sometime yet.
Give us a call, let us price you our goods, and wo
feel confident we will share your patronage.
