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 31,086 32,765 previously 22,569—22.943 8tocks on hand 9,822 Stock August 31, 1885, 350; received same day, •14; total receipts 36,994; shipped same day 854; total shipments 26,742, stock 9,700, sales 621; ■ikldling. 8'<fC.

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 will be Justices Wynne and Woottcn and Mr. being pushed forward and that everything 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. T. S. Phicb, Secretary.

Ragland, formerly of Hatchechubbee, was killed by the fast mail train on the 27th ult. The deceased was about 25years old, and was an honorable a> d highly respected young man.

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.

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. HOTEL ARRIVALS.

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 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. 1886. • 1885.
