The projected Columbus and Florida railroad
is taking well with the people south of us. The
Lumpkin Independent has flic following:
* Quita a number of citizens of Stewart county
assembled at the courthouse on Friday night
for the purpose of expressing themselves ns
favorable to the proposed railroad tunning south
from Columbus. Hon. R. Watts called the
meeting to order which was organized by elect-
3 S7n ‘ * nR ^ r ‘ chairman and R. B Harrison
4,824 | secretary. R. F. Watts, Esq., gave his views upon
2,033 I the subject, which were decidedly in favor of a
15,42.1 j raiJroad of some kind running from Columbus to
3l“^g j Lumpkin. John Peabody, Fsq., of Columbus, be
ing present was called for and made a very intcr-
i esting talk. His idea was that Stewart county
| possessed such advantages that by making the
proper effort we could induce the projectors of
the new road to take in Lumpkin in their route.
He thinks that a road direct from Lumpkin to
Columbus would help that city more than the
Georgia Midland or any other long road they can
build. In case the GeorgiojMidland fails to build
in Stewart county Col. Pearody may have some
thing to say to our citizens in regard to a connec
tion with the Columbus and Rome railroad.
“Hon. U. F. Watts then offered a resolution to
this effect: TJHat we, the citizens of Stewart
county, willxflveall the aid in our power to any
railroad naming to or by Lumpkin from Coluih-
bus, and ffrofnis* such enterprise our hearty co
operation aidr^^pport. The meeting then ad
journed.” , \ V S
One of our Titianassee exchange, has the fol
lowing to say:
“A surveyor’s corps began last Monday making a
preliminary survey for a line of railroad from Co
lumbus south to Albany, Ga., under the auspices
of the Columbus and Florida Railroad Company,
and at last accounts had gotten some eight or
ten miles south of Columbus. This fact seems to
I indicate that the road bed of the old B., C. & C.
rn-Iroad, already graded sixty miles {from this
city to Cuthbe’tj, is to be‘left out in the cold,’
unless the company purpose making the Albany
| road o. hr inch and a subsequent line from Cuth-
j bert to Tallahassee the main trunk line to Fiori*
da. This thought is gathered from current re-
j port touching the new road, and if so, well. But
j otherwise it tints our railroad hopes wish sombre
| hues. *
j “Information, however, from a private Colum
bus correspondent, who is in u position to know
says that a Tal ukussee connection is the objec
tive point, but that the topography cf the coun
try as shown by the survey being made and the

Miss Louise Itslfe.
Miss Louise Balfe appeared at Springer orcra
house as “Dagmar” lard night. To say that the
audience was enthusiastic would be putting is
mildly. There has been no actress in Columbut
in a long time who so completely won the admi
ration of the audience. In the beginning she
made a favorable impression, and as each
succeeding act revealed her remarkable
talent and powers there was a unanimous
opinion that she was one of the very best ac
tresses who ever appeared upon our stage. The
play is a most interc-sting one, and Miss Balfe
fits the leading role to perfection. She was per
fectly superb in the last act, and the audience
was completely at her mercy. She is well sup
ported, and the company and the.ulny are
worthy of a liberal patronage.
McIntyre and Heath.
McIntyre and Heath’s minstrels will appear at
Surlnger opera house to-night. The Nashville
Union has the following to say of them :
“The Masonic Temple, after being closed Sat
urday and Monday, re-opened its doors to a bum
per house and McIntyre and Heath’s minstrels.
By the performance they gave last night they
may be safely given the palm as one of the best
minstrel shows on the road. There
was the wildest enthusiasm through
out. Dress circle and ‘gods’ were
alike enraptured. Minstrels and ‘chestnuts’
are generally considered synonymous terms, but
ancient pices were barely noticeable, and the
vast majority of the fun was racy and exhilarat
ing Mr. T. K. Heath, in the initiatory song,
“The lead :r of the Band,” received the greeting
which his merrits demanded. Delhauer and
Geycr, in the freg and clown act, were one of the
fi atures of the entertainment, and Mr. Delhauer
as a contortionist could bar lily be surpassed,
Mr. DeWitt created astonishment by the music
ho was able to got out of a sot of sleigh XU3.
The whole cincluded with a little sketch “Way
Down South,” which was both natural and
effective.”
.il.
.Married in Texas.
News has been received in the city of the mar
riage of Mr. 11. M. Aubrey and Miss Clara M Bni-
at Han Antonia, Texas, last month. Miss ilai-
lini is well known here, where she lived with her
mother several years ugo.
A Sunday School •rgnnizeri.
A Sunday school wus organized on Sunday at
Hosier’s school house, several miles north of the
city. Mr. Win. Tarvin was elected superinten- ,
tendent, Miss Eliza Jenkins assistant, and Mr.
N. II. Roberts secretary.
Gin House and ProtS ilurned. j
The gin house and press of the Hurtsboro Mill
Company at Hurtsboro, Ala., was destroyed by j
fire at 10 o’clo< k Sundav night. The fire is sup- ;
posed to have been the work of an incendiary.
The loss is estimated at $ 1500. We were unable!
to learn whether there was any insurance.
Appointed Sheriff.
Ordinary J. F. O'. Williams, of Harris cou ty,
has appointed Mr. Randolph Livingston sheriff
of that county, to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Hon, B. H. Williams, who
has been elected to the legislature. It is under
stood Mr. Livingston will not be a candidate in
the approaching election.
The Election To-Day.
The congressional election takes place to-day.
T! e polls will be opened in this city at 7 a. in.
The Memphis and Birmingham.
The Birmingham Age lias the following in ref
erence to the Kansas City connection :
“That the Memphis and Birmingham railroad
will soon beaconuectinglink in a great transcon
tinental line from the Atlantic to the Pacific
oceans is confirmed by further advices from Kan
sas City, where Col. W. P. Duuavant and his
associates are now engaged building the Kaup.ua
City, Wyandotte and Northwestern railroad,
really a continuation of the road now being built
from our city to connect with Memplis. A glance
at the map 6liows clearly that eventually, as sure
as a “straight lino is the nearest distance be
tween two points,” if there is any truth iu
Euclid, this whole gTcat system,
with Birmingham as a centre,
must some day be one long continuous line from
sea to sea. The following is the extract referred
to from the Kansas City Times of the 25th in
stant:
*“W. P. Dunavant, O. IT. P. Piperand Newman
Erb, of Memphis, are iu the city looking up the
interests of the Kansas City, Wyandotte and
Northwestern road, in which they represent tho
Memphis capitalists who are carrying the bonds
and will be closed at 6 p. m. The managers ! and building the line. They report that work is

G. E. Gager. Every registered voter should go n ro ,, r<?ss h 1{ r favorably. They will remain several
to the polls and vote for Hon. Thos W. Grimes * days’
for congress. It is highly important that a full ]
vote be east, !
Want to Rudd a Parsonage.
St. John E. M. E. church has now undertaken j
the erection of a parsonage for that church, and
has appointed the following committee to solicit
aid from the citizens: J. T. Shepherd,.T. S. Price,
P. W. Wnl er, J. Stewart, C II. Miller, W. II.
Howard, Augustus Dawson, W. Canty arid Moses
Faun. It is hoped the citizens will donate liber
ally to this laudable cause. Rev. J. A. Davis.

Death of Mr. J. B. Slade.
That death loves a shining mark was never
more fully illustrated than in the death of Mr. J.
B. Slade, of this cit y, which sad event occurred
at his residence at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. He had been ill some time, but his death
was rather sudden and unexpected, and fell like
a shock upon this entire community. Mr. Slade
was a man without spot and without blemish.
His character was well rounded, and wit hin his
breast beat a noble and generous heart. lie
moved among his fellow-men conspicuous for his
integrity and devotion to principle. In fact, he
lived the life of an upright Christian gentlemuu.
Mr. Slade * as born in Martin county, North
Carolina, anil was 55 years of age. He came to
Columbus about thirty years ago, and in a short
time after he located here lie married Miss Mary
Demon, of this city. He lias resided here ever
since with the exception of a few years
when he lived near Wavorly Hall.
For a number of years lie had bce.'i
engaged in the warehouse business, and at tho
time of his death was senior member of the firm
of Slade & Ethercdge. He was au enterprising
business man and a publio-smrited citizen. Ho
was always active in any movement which was
inaugurated for the welfare of the city, and
never failed to do his frill share in aiding any
public enterprise. Iu ail his business relations
he was conscientious and strictly honest, always
doing unto others as he would have them do un
to him. He was a valuable member of St. Paul
church, and was ever faithfril to duty. The
death of such a man is au irreparable loss not
only to his family, but to the entrie community.
He leaves a wife and five children, who in this
sore affliction have the profound sympathy of a
large circle of friends.
The fhneral will take place from 8t, Paul
church this morning at 10 o'clock.

Pea’.U of ip Time-Honored Cat.
Tom the V6notable cat of Capt. Hochstrasscr,
(known as Tom Ilochstrasscr in contradistinc
tion to sundry other Toms in this office) is no
more. He was 14 years old at the time of his
death. He was t*he son of Sam. Abel and was
taught a number of tricks in his young days by
William Rouhan, a clerk in the store. He ranged
from the stove to t.Uiij office and adjacent alleys,
and in his prime was a mighty cat of valor. In
h;» youth he war-aristocratic and tuny, and not
until a few years since dd he deign to become
tho associate of editors and printer.-. Age and
poverty will kuook the starch out of the bent, of
us. For several years he dined with one cf the
oldest of our printers. La: t year cno of tho
j “comps,” haling cats on gene ml principles,
| hurled a brickbat at Tom in the alley. The cat
by a dextrous dodge evaded t ho bat but was so
humiliated at. the insult that ho did not come-
arouhd again in several mouths.- But no unfa
vorable concatenation nor any amount of cater
wauling could turn him against his friends and
lie would come arouud occasionally on a visit to
his old haunts. He was a terror to the rats and
mice in the neighborhood and had hold his own
bravely with -many a dog. Saturday night it was
noticed that lie was approaching his end. Sun
day morning be v.-as found iu the alloy in a woe
begone condition, and was brought in and carerl
for by frieudly hands. Late in the afternoon as
the golden sunbeams cast their shadows eastward
his spirit took its departure to that* land where
there are plenty of back fences and no windows
and bootjacks. Ho was buried thi3 morning
at 3 o’clock with newspaper honors.
Facts From Fortson.
Correspondence Enquirer-Sun.
Fortson, Ga., November 1.—On yesterday Mr.
T. W. Fortson sold the finest watermelon of the
season for 25 cents. It weighed nearly twenty
pounds. This shows what a cow-pen patch will
do, regardloss of dry weather. We have as fine
turnips as I have seen anywhere, and they have
not had a real good season since they came up to
a stand and took root. This is the secret about
raising turnips: plant them early enough for
them to take good root beforo the scorching
heat of July and August comes along—and plant
them on the richest of 1 md. Get them woil
planted and early planted and they are sure to
make Wo boil the pot every day at our house.
Since the frost has come and made the collards
tender, we alternate with turnips and collards,
and then peas for a change. And they are all
good-just as good as the governor need to want.
Mr. J. R. Thompson is still on the sick list.
Dr. Andrew Williams, of Birmingham, who
has been the guest of his sou for a day or so,
leaves this morning for his farm-lands near
Oswichee.
Mr. G. W. Goins rejoices now in the possession
of an heiress as well as an heir.
It is uow in order to grind and make up ribbou
cane into syrup, and dig and bank away the
sweet potatoes.

COTTON FACTS.
Visible Supply—Receipt* at Ports—Weather, Etc.
The New York Financial Chronicle of Octo
ber 30 makes the total visible supply of cotton
1,861,349 bales, a decrease as compared with last
year ol 35,105, a decrease as compared with 1884
of 200 855$ and a decrease as compared with 1883
of 402.429.
For the week ending October 29 the receipts
at the United States ports reached 258,483 bales,
making the total since September 1,1,343 801
bales, showing a decrease of 4^652.
The twenty-six interior towns for the week end
ing October 29 received 192,758 bales, shipped
149,282 and had stocks of 228,997 bales. Same time
last year they received 195,917, shipped 150,792 and
had stocks of 206,307.
The above totals show that the old interior
stocks have increased during the week 42,041
bales and are to-night 25,943 bales more than at
the same period last year. The receipts at the
same towns have been 9652 bales more than the
same week last year, and since September 1 the
receipts at nil the towns arc 9607 bales more
than for the same time in 1885.
The exports for the week ending this even in .7
reach a total of 154.611 bales, of which 115,587. were
to Great Britain, 17,454 to France and 21,570 to
the rest of the continent.
The Chronicle comments on its table of re-
reipls from plantations as follows :
The above statement shows—1. That the total
receipts from plantations since September 1, 18SG,
arc 1,524,738 bales; in 1835 were 1,578,910 bales; in
188-1 were 1,574.673 bales.
2.—That, although the receipts at the outports
the past week were 258,483 bales, the actual move
ment- from plantations was 301,059 bales, the bal
ance going to increase the stocks at ttic interior
towns. Last year the receipts from the planta
tions for the same week were 313,148bales and for
1884 they were 301,017 bales.
In the table below we give the receipts from
plantations in another form, and add to them
tlie net overland movement to October 1, and
also the takings by southern spinners to the
same date, so as to give substantially the amount
of cotton now in sight.
