In a New Dress.
The Montgomery Advertiser came to us yester
day in a bran new dress, which fits it perfectly

THE PUBLIC MII It A It Y.

Mr. Jas. H. Roberts and Miss Hestella Hutton
were mnrried in this city Thursday night. Rev.
J. W. Howard, pastor of the Second Baptist

a boss in the Muscogee Mills, and Is a worthy
and energetic gentleman, while the bride is a
most excellent lady. The happy couple have
the best wishes of a host of friends.
Sudden Death of Miss Naney Johnson.
Miss Nancy Johnson, an operator in the Eagle
and Phenix tf ills, died suddenly on Thursday
night at her siflter’s residence in Girard. Hho
had worked all day on Thursday and had gone
home and was sitting by the window, apparently
resting, when she dropped dead. Hho had not
complained of being sick and the doctors thought
the cause of her death was heart disease. Her
remains were buried yesterday in the Girard
cemetery.
Changing Their Homes.
A good many people changed their homes in
Columbus yesterday, but the number was not ns
large as usual. We would be glad to publish a
list of the removals to-morrow, but cannot do so
unless t hose who changed their place of residence
will tarnish the information to the office to-day.
It will he interesting Sunday rending matter for
those who would like to know where their
friends are located for another year.
Not let Nettled.
Captain Dabney, chief engineer of the Colum
bus and Western railroad, received a telegram
from President Raoul yesterday, in which he
•aid he would not be able to decide upon the
route of the Birmingham extension before next
week. There is no doubt about the extension of
the road. The only question is in regard to which
route shall be selected, the longer at a less cost or
the shorter at the greater cost. The selection of
the route haR been left entirely with Captain
Raoul by the directors.
Death of Mr. J. S. Rnpor.
Mr. J. 8. Boper died in his room over Munday
A Robinson’s stables yesterday morning about
1:30 o'clock. While he had been badly afflicted
several years, his death was rather sudden. Mr.
Roper was for a number of years a faith fid mem
ber of the police force and did his duty well. He
was about 50 years of age and leaves one son,
Peyton Roper. Ho was a quiet and unostenta
tious citizen and had a number of friends, who
will he grieved by the announcement of his
death. His funeral took place yesterday after
noon and the remains were iuterred in the city
cemetery.
A Thief Picked Up.
Charlie King, colored, 1ms been a porter at A.
A. Dreyspool’s clothing store for nearly two years*
and his wages have not been all for which he
worked. Yesterday he was arrested by police- I
men Morris and Burma for stealing a pair of
punts from his employer. The pants were stolen
three or four day.4 ago, and left at Frank Wal
lace’s shop. Wallace notified tlie police of the
fact that King had left the bundle there, and
that he hud frequently left bundles there before.
The police took the pants to Mr. Dreyspool and
he readily identified them as belonging to his
stock. When King was first arrested he denied
any knowledge of the* theft, but after vnrd he
virtually confessed his guilt. He is being held
for trial,

Threatening a Telephone Exchange.
The Selma correspondent of the Montgomery
Advertiser writes that paper as follows:
“A resolution condemning and threatening a
boycott of the telephone exchange here was
to-day circulated by its subscribers as such for
their individual signatures, to which has been
already signed a number of names. The sub
scribers say that while they consider the tele
phone almost a necessity, and while they in no
wise make complaint of the ever accommodat
ing, prompt and estimable young lady who so
kindly and patiently answers their calls from
day to day, yet because of the present imperfec
tions of the system they have been forced to such
resolutions as were circulated to-day, and which
they assert they will most positively maintain
unless the system works satisfactorily to all con
cerned within the next thirty days. ”

The Hoard of Directors Hold Their. Regular
Monthly Meeting.
The board of directors of the Library Asssocia-
tion held its regular monthly meeting at the
library rooms last night. The librarian reported
un addition of 107 new members, with a total
membership of 469. The outlook is much more
encouraging than it was a short time hack, and
shows what united effort can do, especially when
the ladios take hold with that zeal and tact
which always characterize their efforts in a good
cause. The board heartily commended the
efforts which the ladies had made in getting
new members and the assistance which they
had rendered the association.
The board accepted two propositions for
musical entertainments during the fall months,
and directed the entertainment committee to
assist their progress by formal acceptance. These
entertainments will tarnish opportunity for de-
lighttal and refreshing occasions, besides render
ing material aid to one of the valuable institu
tions of our city.
Tae directors discussed the question of lights,
and will probably adopt the use of kerosene as
affording a steadier flame than gas and as being
more economical.
The Mules and the Flour.
Yesterday four colored men and a colored
woman drove into the city from some plantation
in a two-mule wagon. Near Broad and Eleventh
streets they struck camp, unhitching the mules,
hut leaving the harness on them. The mules
grazed about the wagon while the four men and
the woman pulled an old stocking tad of silver
dollars out of a tattered valise in the wagon, and
went shopping in a grocery store on the west side
of Broad street. After remaining in the store
awhile, they came out Indian file, bringing with
them two large sacks of flour which they placed
in the wagon; Then two of the men went one
way and the other two men and the woman went
the other. When the two parties
had gone thirty yards apart the woman,
who wore a red bandanna and hrogan shoes,
yelled hack at the two receding men. “Oh! Brer
Isom, you an’ Unker John, we gwine down to
Hir Francis .Tone* house da eat dinner wid uni;
we mck promus to um two week back wen he bir.
in de country for eat dinner wid um to-day. Now
we gwi down. We meet you bock to de wagin at
2 o’clock, Gaud speer me, I cum sho.” The
two men replied, “So long sistah,” and each
crowd went its own way. Soon after the darkeys
left, one of the mules, a big trace-rubbed brindle
fellow, pot to nosing infthe wagon hody He
struck a bonanza, or rather the flour. Each
mule tackled a sack, and in fifteen minutes they
had licked up the last grain of flour from the bot
tom of the wogon. After they had finished their
meal, or rather their flour, the mules just loafed
around and looked innocent. At 2 o’clock the
woman ami the two men returned. The woman
looked in the wagon ami said : “Bless grashus!
Bless Peter, de flour done stole an’ gone. Enty I
been know dese town nigger ain’t fur trss.
Heah I am, an’ you do wuek een de sun and rain
fur monev ter buy flour and town nigger tief
um an’ gone. Oh! law, he too had de nigger
do tief da flour, I hope da fust moufful choke um
clean to doth, a good tar nutten low down tiefin’
trash.” The two men jumped into the wagon
body and looked under the baskets and
quilts carefully for the flour, but without
avail. Ono of them said: “Yar,
da flour done gone, Lindy ain’t liab no
pie cruss fur Sunday, an’ de pickininny ain’t
gwi git he flour dumplin’ dis week fur sho. Man,
ef I ketch de nigger wot took um I hreck ebry
bone een he body, a good tar nutten, hongry,
lazy, low-down trashy tief.” Then the other two
men came up and the whole five began talking
like a flock of clucking blackbirds. The excite
ment was intense. When you steal flour from a
darkey you raise his dander. He loves it. Finally
the woman Rpied the white powdery lips of the
mules, and exclaimed: “Bless my dyin’ soul ef
de mule ain’t done gone eat four dollah
wuff o’ flour. Look at he lip all white
up wid flour. I good min’ ter teck suinp’n
andbreck yo’ back you good fur nutten ting you.”
The five darkeys then greased up and left—all
five still firing off their mouths about, the rob
bery. A man who passed the crowd a mile from
town said they had the mules in u gallop, and as
they passed him the driver said : “You eat flour
like trotten boss; you kin trabel like trotten boss!
Go on you nasty tievin brutes,” and still he plied
the whip. The mules luul got the best of the
day’s excursion.

could be covered with anything.

The Birmingham Age tells its readers that the

a fisticuff?

are never too busy to give information or show
our goods, whether you buy ot not. In the last
few days we have received a lot of the prettiest

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

magnificent line of their goods we are selling at

can be found in our varied stock that cannot be

in this section equal in quality to ours.
Recent heavy additions to our Toilet Goods

A Dollar Well Invented Build* a Church
The German Evangelical Lutheran Lucas
Church, near the corner of Broadway and Wal-
bridge avenue, Toledo, O., remained unfinished
for the lack of tands. Last Saturday Mr, Henry
Sass, 29 Western avenue, received $5,000 for one-
fifth of ticket No. 77,227, which drew the second
capital prize of $25,000 in Tlie Louisiana State
Lottery, on July 13. He is a member of the
Church (Rev. A. B. Weber pastor), and will loan
at a low rate this $5,000 to the new church, which
but for this aid would remain unfinished for lack
of funds. He is a tailor, 70 years old—in this
country twenty years—has supported a large
family—is very popular where he lives, and the
people there rejoice with him in his good fortune.
