Gossypium Phospho is one of the most popular | Nor can we refrain from a word of commcnda-
grades of fertilizers known to planters. It is tion of Messrs. Robert Is. Munn and Harry L.
made by the Geo. W. Scott manufacturing com
pany. The official analysis of this brand of fer
tilizers never varies from its high standard of ex
cellence. Farmers who have experimented with
this fertilizer and various other brands pronounce I
it to be the means of procuring more beneficial
results than any other grade. The firm have
hundreds of testimonials to this effect from re
liable parties all over the country, many of which
will be shown on application to Mr. T. J. Hunt,
who has the agency for the company at Colum
bus. Last season Mr. Hunt sold enormous quan
tities of this fertilizer, and every man lowborn
.he has sold expresses himself as being highly
delighted with the result, and assures Mr. Hunt
that they will buy no other fertilizer in the friture
as long as the Gossypium Phospho maintains its
present standard, which the company certainly
intends to do.
Tilt strength of soil is reduced by long cultiva
tion, and like the human body, weakened by dis
ease, must have a restorer. To the human body
the physician administers that medicine best
adapted to the restoration of the wasted tissues.
Likewise the farmer must administer tonics to
his fields when they become worn and unpro
ductive.
Tn determining what compound will give the
best results in building up the worn and tired
.soil, chemistry plays a very important part; first,
because it is necessary to determine what ele
ments have been exhausted; and second, what
3s required to return the land to its former fertile
state.
After experimenting for a number of years with
all of the different chemicals which tend to revive
and improve the soil, Colonel Scott finally hit
upon the ingredients of Gossypium Phospho.
And a happy hit it was. It has proved a veritable
•blessing to tillers of the soil, but as yet the good
■work is but in its infancy. We do not mean by
this that it is a new or untried fertilizer, for it.
has stood the test for many years and has never
been found wanting. But its popularity will grow.
Merit is bound to tell. Our farmers know a good
thing when they try it, and will not Imitate to
turn its use to tlieir advantage. Many farmers
who have tried it declare that by the use of this
fert ilizer the product of a crop may be increased
six fold. Mr. Hunt deals honestly and all his
representations can be relied on. Those who
patronize him by purchasing this fertilizer will
find that the investment pays a heavy per cent.
Mr. Hunt is prepared to supply these goods at
all times and in all quantities, on short notice.
He guarantees the goods to maintain the high
standard of excellence in the future that they
have in the past.
Mr. Hunt also handles the Charleston acid
phosphate, which is manufactured by the same
company, and which is a very superior article of
phosphate. Mr. Hunt has been dealing in the
best grades of fertilizers for the past ten years,
and his long experience and the superior quality
of the goods he handles have thoroughly identi
fied him with the fertilizer trade and endeared
him to the farmers who have patronized him.
He offers these goods at special rates to farmers’
clubs. He may be found next door above the
Chattahoochee National bank. Write to him for

Abbott, the skillftil and intelligent operators.
The Enquirer-Sun has been intimately asso
ciated with this telegraph office almost since the
organization of Associated Press dispatches. At
no time in all these years have our relations been
more pleasant than with these young gentlemen
who now* manipulate the wires. The dispatches
are furnished ns promptly and are prepared in a
clear, readable form, with few errors and
a legible hand. These young men began as
messenger boys, and to-day take rank with the
very best operators in the state. They are ever
ready to accommodate, and cleverer and more
high-toned gentlemen are not to be found in any
community.
This spirit seems to run through the entire
office, and Frank Snell and Jake Arnold, mes
senger boys, have caught the infection. They
are reliable and prompt in delivering messages,
and do heir lull share in making the service a
success.
COLUMBUS ON A BOOM.
Another Big Dry Roods Store.
It is not generally known that there are more
improvements going on in Columbus than any
other town in Georgia, their relative sizes being
considered. Wherever you go up or down town
you will hear the familiar ring of the carpenters
hammer. Bu’ by far the most important im
provement that has taken place is that made by
O. C. Johnson in the two stores next door to
Pease’s book store. The wall that divided the
two have been removed, handsome shelving
about six foot high now fill its place and instead
of the old decayed shelving on t ie opp vsite side
are shelves of more modern designs. The win
dows in the do or have been greatly enlarged
and another added so that a perfect flood of
light fill both rooms. In its present shape it is
by far the most commodious and convenient
store in this part of the state. When carpenters
and painters retire then ready hands will fill
the shelves with one of the most complete stocks
of dry goods ever shown in Columbus. We
heard a leading merchant say be regretted the
opening of another dry good store, that there
were too many here now. We think it a great
mistake to look at it in this way and so the
writer told him.
The more numerous and larger our business
enterprises grow the more trade we draw from a
distance and therefore we welcome tlie change
Mr. Johnson has made in his business. The Red
Star Store and its proprietor has our best wishes.
The New Drmr Store.
Messrs. Hall & Wheat are busily engaged in
opening up their new stock of drugs. They will
have one of the handsomest drug stores in the
south when all of their arrangements are com
pleted. Their stock of drugs are new and fresh
throughout. Mr. Wheat is an experienced and
accomplished pharmacist and will have charge
of the prescription department. Everything
about the store will be in style. It will be a
a regular beauty. We predict for Messrs. Hall
& Wheat a brilliant and successful career in the
drug business. They are both worthy young
men, full of industry and talent.

Among the towns in Alabama which have
sprung up with mushroom rapidity may be
classed Browneville, our immediate friend and
neighbor across the Chattahoochee. As a town
its existence began during the late war between
the states. The Eagle factory deserves the credit
of having “driven the first spike,” tho'gh its
managers hardly dreamed that they were laying
the foundations of a new town which should
spend like tire in the stubble. Their only idea
was to locate their employes comfortably where
they would have the benefit of plenty of elbow
room, pure air and good water. From the
nucleus of a hundred houses built by the com
pany the town began to spread, and during the
past twenty years has grown from
a village of 300 to 1500. In 1865
there was but one painted house in what is
now known as the valley region, and that was
looked upon as a curiosity by the unsophisti
cated settlers. Now there are hundreds of hand
some residences, and the town extends from the
river to Col. J. T. Holland’s, a mile and a quarter
westward. The inhabitants are mainly opera
tives in the Columbus factories and other im
portant industries of the city.
Two years ago the town of Browneville was in -
corporated, nml has since been under the govern
ment of a mayor and five aldermen. It is now
considered ns one of the quietest and well-gov
erned towns in the state. The last legislature
created a school district for the place, and efforts
are being made to inaugurate a public school
system, by which all children shall enjoy the
benefits of free education. To this end it is
hoped the Peabody fund agent of the state will
make a liberal appropriation to supplement the
stale fund.
The town has a number of well taught private
schools, six church organizations and four
churches, three public halls, and a vast numbe r
of handsome residences. There are fifteen or
twenty merchants, all of whom seem to be thriv
ing, though their trade is mostly of a local char
acter. The town is located partly on the Sum
merville heights and partly in the valley along
tire Western railroad, and commands a very
pretty view from the neighboring hills. As Co
lumbus extends, as it is bound to do, Browne
ville will also extend its borders as the overflow
ing population must have ail outlet, and the
hills and valleys contiguous in Alabama hold
ou an inviting hand, saying “come over and
possess us ’’ The inhabitants, though separated
from those of Columbus by a rolling river and
state line, are one in interest and sentiment,
and were it possible, should all live under one
municipal government.
Public Schools anil Town Council.
Council held its semi-monthly meeting last
Tuesday evening. The most important matter
before the meeting was a petition from the board
of education asking for an appropriation of $500
to supplement the public school fund for the dis
trict. On this, council took no action, except to
agree to turn over any unexpended balance that
might remain in the treasury at the end of the
year. This, the board considers rather a dismal
prospect.
Hon. OceolaKyle, representative to the legisla
ture from Lee, being present, addressed council
briefly on the subject at issue, and pledged bis
influence in the legislature to aid the good work
of education in Browneville.
It is to be hoped that in a year or two at most,
Browneville will have some 'mat red plan
for ruising school revenues without seriously
burthening the inhabitants by onerous taxation.
Deaths.
Mrs. Susan E., wife of Win, M. Hill, died at her
had long experience in the business, which en
ables him to keep pace with all competitors. Be
sides being an active and vigorous business man,
lie is a highly accomplished buyer. ITis talent in
this direction is fully illustrated by the well se
lected stock of dry goods which he now oilers to
the public. His prices are marvellously low and
his goods are of superb quality.
He carries everything in the dry goods line.
Shoppers will do well to inspect his stock before
making their purchases elsewhere.
Soon the weather will be much cooler. Indeed,
we have already had a foretaste of what is to
come, and nearly every person has had a thought
in their mind of something warmer for the fall
and winter. The ladies naturally have been
thinking of cloaks and wrans, and we want to
impress on their minds that Cargill has a beauti
ful line of these goods, which he is selling at
special prices. His line of dress goods are un
usually attractive and are being sold at bargain
prices. He has a number of attentive and ac
commodating salesmen, any of whom will take
pleasure in showing you. Don’t forget Cargill
when you go shopping.

Girard has a history almost coeval with that of
Columbus. It* popu alien in early days were
considered wild and Jawlc.vs but the hand of
reformation has been at work ami the days of
retribution shouH bo over. The old generation
has passed oil* the stage, and a new one has come
on which moves in step with the pi ogress of
events A bad name is hard to get rid of, and
yet, it does not speak well for human nature that
it is so unrelenting and unforgiving.
Girard was laid off for a city, and its projectors
expected that it would rival Columbus in its
business aspirations, but alas for human expec
tations. The old storehouse# have gone to decay,
and the old planes which once knew them now
know them no more. Those who want to buy
or sell pass through and come on to the larger
city on this side of the river, in hope of doing
better, but sometimes have Hired worse.
Girard bus not realized the expectations of its
founders, but still is a pleasant place for real
donee, and now has a population of 3000, who
mainly depend upon the industries of Columbus
for support. The citizens have their churches and
schools and enjoy the distinction of being law-
abiding and moral in a high degree. The town
was incorporated as a school district some two
years ago, and now boasts of good municipal
government and a system of public schools which
are a credit to the place.
Not n Rout Farm but a Dairy.
Last year there was a wild rumor that Sykes’
bill was to be reconstructed and fixed up fora
goat farm, bill now the report is contradicted and
we bear that it has been fenced in and improved
by Digby A: Co., under u twenty y< nrs lease to be
used as u vineyard and dairy farm. This is no
doubt true, and we hope the gentlemen who
have embarked in the enterprise will bo success
ful in their venture. Sykes’ hill commands a
fine view of Columbus.

and was respected by all who knew her. The
remains were taken yesterday to the old family

During the last few years a number of business
houses of various sorts have bung out their
shingles in Biowneville and Lively. This was a
necessity in consequence of the rapidly increas
ing suburban population and the further fact
that many people are disposed to consult their
convenience in matters of business. None of
these merchants can be called princely, though
all are clever and making an honest effort to se
cure an honest living. Like merchants of other
towns, they have their losses and crosses, and
sometimes learn by bitter experience the folly
of trusting too implicitly is human pledges. In
the main, however, these merchants have made
a living and a few have been considered pros
perous. Below will be found a number of cards
from those who are doing well, but would like to
do better.

There is nothing in the world that a man so
much likes to enjoy as he does a good shave.
To sit in a barber’s chair and have his beard
pulled out by the roots, and a talkative barber to
spin out a long yarn while he Is at it, is just as
near purgatory as one cares to be. To avoid any
thing of this kind all that is necessary is to go to
the Rankin House barlx r shop, Joe McGchee
proprietor, No. II Tenth street. Here you can
get a hot or cold water bath and he wailed on by
the best tonsorial artists extant.
