The Mechanics Assembly.
We are reliably informed that the Mechanics
Assembly, Knights of Labor, at their meeting
last night determined to ignore nominations
made at the mass meeting of Knights of Labor
on Monday night. They express themselves as
satisfied with the democratic nominees.
A (Jin House llurnetl.
The gin house of Mr. E. P. Willis, which was
located about ten miles northeast of the city, was
destroyed by fire yesterday morning. It was a
steam ginnery and was being operated when the
fire broke out. We were unable to learn the ex
tent of the loss, but understand that there was
no insurance.
Colonel Alexander’s Remains.
The remains of Colonel P. W. Alexander, who
died in Marietta Thursday night, reached this
city yesterday evening. They were accompanied
by the fiunily and several friends. The faneral
will take place from the Episcopal church this
morning at 10 o’clock, and the remains will be
interred in the city cemetery.

dell. Columbus is always glad to greet such
people us these. Aud the representative citizeu
of Seale is a favorite here.
Death of a Little tilrl.
Grace, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. C.
Johnson, died yesterday morning at 4 o’clock,
after a brief illness of congestion of the bowels.
.She was only four and a half years old, and was
one of the sweetest and brightest little girls in
the city. Her death is a sad blow to the fond pa
rents, whose hearts were wrapped up in her
ftiture, and in this deep bereavement they have
the sincerest sympathy of a large circle of friends.
The saddest feature of this sad death is the fact
that the fhther was absent from home and will
not reach here until to-night. The funeral will
take place from the residence of Mr. C. A. Ether-
edge to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock.
The llla.k Flag.
The next attraction at Springer opera house
will be the “Black Flag,” on next Tuesday night.
The Richmond Dispatch has the following to
say of the play :
“Edwin Thorne appeared last night at the
theatre in his orginal character of Harvey Glyn-
don in the ‘Black Flag.’ His company has evi
dently been selected with taste and judgment,
for the play from beginning to end is well
rendered. It is, of course, a sensational play,
but it is well intermixed with very amusing
incidents and dramatic situations. Mr. Thorne, it
is needless to say, did full justice to his part and
received enthusiastic and deserved applause.
He looks and is the character he represents. The
other performers are all so good in their re
spective parts that it is needless to individually
mention them. The lovers of a good play will
certainly till the house to-night, for such a repre
sentation of real life is not always seen on the
lyric stage. A crowded house may be expected.”
(iettimr Hands for a Railroad.
Mr. Benjamin Edge is back from Birmingham,
where he went a few days ago with a lot of 135
hands from this place to work on the road be
tween Birmingham and Memphis. He reports
having arrived there safely with the entire lot,
except two who gave him the slip at Montgom
ery, and 6ays his hands are at work about thirty-
five miles beyond Birmingham and are cheerftil
and hearty. Many of them are writing back to
their families that they are saving up money to
spend at home when they return. Most of the
hands Mr. Edge carried off had been engaged on
the Georgia Midland and had completed their
engagements on that road, and hence had some
experience in railroad building.
Mr. Edge will leave again on Tuesday with a
lot of fifty more.
We have known Ben Edge a long time, and a
truer, nobler, more whole-souled man than he is
would be hard to start, and we would be glad to
hear that he had captured a whole railroad,
train and all.
MBS. HENLKY HEARD FROM.
She Writes a Card to the Habile In Her Own De
fen se.
Enquirer-Sun : My name is before the public,
and not with anything good attached to it. I
am going to leave Columbus forever, and going
to my father’s. Yes, going back where IJspent the
pure years of my girlhood. But before I go I
want to say one word in my own behalf. Will
you he kind enough to publish it for me ? ’Tis
bad enough to have to live with a brokeu heart
and a blighted life without being misunderstood.
But do not like to be tarnished and blackened
more than I deserve. I did take chloroform, and
did try to commit suicide. It was wrong. I am
sorry; oh, so sorry. And I have promised my
God to live on and bear the burden, and never,
never do so again.
I have nothing to say against my husband. I
love him with all my heart. I love him yet. He
has left me. If he had any reasons, why did he
not give them instead of throwing out insinua
tions against me? I call upon him to give them
publicly. God knows he can give no proof that
I have been an unfaithful wife to him. I have
still been true since he left me. God knows this
is so.
But has he been true? I have spent whole
nights alone, and he out, I know not where. God
pity me, for I have tried to do right. I gave
Johnnie my love, my all, and he has thrown it
aside, trampled on my heart, ruined my life and
almost led me to the brink of hell for another.
This is all I have to say. To the public I say:
Judge not too harshly one deserted, maltreated
and kicked and cuffed about—the slave of a
jealous husband. I am willing to rest my cuso
with God, for He alone knows how I was tried
and tempted, and how my poor breaking heart
longed for death. Cassie Henley.

Miss Fly’s Funeral.
The remains of Miss Lucy Ely, whose death
was noticed in yesterday’s issue, arrived yester
day from Atlanta on the noon train via Opelika,
and were met at the depot by a large concourse
of sorrowing friends, among whom were very
many from the neighborhood of her home across
the river, and thence accompanied to the city
cemetery.
R. A Carson, C. R. Russell, Albert Kirven and
Mr. McNeely acted as pall-bearers.
Mr. G. W. Ely, of Montgomery, uncle of the de
ceased, met the remains at Opelika.
Miss Ely left her home in Browneville two
weeks ago to visit her aunt in Atlanta. When
she left she was the perfect picture of blooming
health. She was the youngest daughter of the
late Marcus B. Ely, and was about 19 years of
age. Her mother resides in Browneville, and for
some years has been engaged in the public
schools in that community, and is a most estima
ble lady. Rev. J. B. Cummings officiated in the
burial services, which were held at the cemetery.
In the death of Miss Ely the community loses
one of the brightest and loveliest of its young
ladies. Her mind was cultivated and her heart
beat in unison with every holv and noble im
pulse. How si\d it must be to her young com
panions to realize that they will meet her no more
in life. The bereaved mother especially has the
profoundest sympathies of the entire com
munity.

Correspondence Enquirer-Sun.
Talbotton, September 24.'—I find it no easy
task this morning to begin this communication,
for there were so many things done yesterday
about which I would like to say something, and
ray time is so short in which to write, that it is
very difficult to decide what ta say and what to
leave unsaid. Well, I must begin with some
thing, and so touth upon the association first, as
that is the biggest thing here now—except, per
haps. the hospitality of the people—the superior
court having lost much of its attractiveness to
visitors within the last few days.
The most of the morning session at the associa
tion was taken up in discussing and endorsing
the great and glorious influences of the Christian
Index and Mercer University upon the
Baptist denomination, and upon the people
generally, not only in the state of Georgia, but in
all our beloved southland. Dr. McCall, the spe
cial agent of Mercer, is here and in good trim. He
is a strong advocate of the cause of education and
of truth, portrays in a most
impressive manner the advantages and
gains, compelling you to see, almost
without reference, the disadvantages and vices
which would exist, these things being neglected.
He referred with pride to the groat and glorious
work that Oxford, the university, Mercer and
other institutions were doing for Georgia and
the south. Yea, and for the world. (Oh, I wish I
could tell it like he did.) But not that he loved
Ctesar less, but Rome more, and Mercer was his
Rome. I vish I could write like he talks. If I
could I would apply for the position of regular
correspondent to the Enquirer-Sun, and in
a short time I think I could be able
to have a larger audience, not that
all the seats were not occupied and many stand
ing, but I think my standing committee would
be somewhat larger. I wouldjlike to quote him on
“education necessary to progress,” and God’s pur
pose to civilize and save by human instrumentali
ty, etc., etc. Time shortens, and as he was cut
short by the arrival of the hour for a “set”
service, to-wit: preaching, so I must answer to
the ever welcome call of the breakfast bell. And
let me say right here no matter whether I be a
delegate, regular or pro tempore, to the associa
tion, state convention, southern convention or
any other convention, I want no better host and
hostess than I have had on this occasion. Every
thing that you wanted, just as you wanted it aud
just when you wanted it, not even excepting
many things not on the bill; and I am honest
when I say I believe th is has been true of all
who have so kindly entertained the delegates in
attendance.
Let’s see. Where did I leave off? Oh, yes; in
my report at the preaching hour—in the writing
thereof at the breakfast hour—and I will proceed
to close rapidly, as you know there is a great
deal of time between breakfast and “business”
at an association, especially if you are on a com
mittee that lias to report, first. Preaching at the
Baptist church by Rev. C. H. Martin, and at the
Met! odist by Dr. Ross, the churches being half a
mile apart, it was impossible to hear both ser
mons and make exact reports. Suffice it the con
gregations were large, discourses well rendered,
and the people pleased. Dinner followed, and
when I say dinner I mean it—one that fullv
equipped the most exacting laborer in the great
work for a full discharge of the arduous tasks
placed upon them, when the business sessions
opened promptly at 2 p. m., as was clearly mani
fest to all present by the rapid and effective man
ner in which the various items were disposed of
and the amount of actual business done.
Preaching at night at the Baptist church by
Rev. G. R. McCall. No farther comments are
necessary, I think, when the general expression
given to an hour and ten minutes sermon is,
“why, I didn’t think he preached thirty min
utes.” (Side note—be happy in the selection of
your subject and make every sentence tell.)
Rev. R. H. Harris occupied the pulpit at the
Methodist church, equally happy in the choice
of subject. The marked attention given by all
fully at’ests his ability to hold an audience forty-
eight minutes in a state of oblivion as r igards
the passing time. Both churches filled, in both
uses of the term. I slept well. Have had a
hearty breakfast. Will leave to-day, but not for
Columbus, as you would intimate by the heading
of my first communication. Father C. C. Willis
could probably post you better. The association
j will close its most profitable and harmonious
session this evening. No further promise from

specially imported for our trade. So much
trouble is experienced from the bristles coining
out of brushes. In the one we are offering this
objection is obviated.
We are now headquarters for the Oakley Soap

magnificent line of their goods we are selling at

To the smoking public let us say we have re
cently received large additions to this depart-
meat, and we think there is no stock of Cigars

Recent heavy additions to our Toilet Goods

“Not a Qnegtton of Brain*.”
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 lost 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,
Need we say anything relative to the advisa
bility of preparing a financial umbrella for the
