Idea* Suggested by a Stroll Through the City. 1 nduHtru! s Financial Pi-ori-chn In (lie South that |> Without Parollel—lion Columbus In Interest- e<i—The Knqolrrr-Son Tip* I|h Cap—A Dog thot won lluofrji—Othor Notes. “Any one who cannot see that the southern states are verging on a ‘boom,’ so to speak, In industrial and financial progress, is indeed an ■ old fogy." That is exaetly what the Enquihhr-Sun thinks and what wo said to the observing gentleman who made ihe remark. There is a rush toward the south to-day that is unparalleled in the his tory of the country. In some important respects the movement south at present is ihr in advance ■of that which a few years ago built up the great west with magical rapidity. The class of people who went west and built up that great section and grew up with it were, to a large extent, ag riculturists seeking cheap homes beyond the hearing of locomotive whistles and out of reach •of most of what is considered the conveniences of . sooial life. They succeeded, by hard work and through many deprivations, in building up a wonderful agricultural country, and their enter prise and judicious investments in transportation lines have made that section a net-work of rail roads and the granary of the conntry. The movement south differs in some respects from that which made the west a prosperous sec tion. There the people had to take a virgin soil in its wildest condition. Here we have a section whose developed resources, derived almost solely from agricultural pursuits, enabled its population to sustain a war of gigantic proportions for a long period. The result was the almost entire destruc tion of all the resources, from which the people grew rich, happy and powerful. As a conse quence, the southern people have hud to look around for some other means of recuperating their broken fortunes. They found it. In the bowels of the earth they found illimitable wtalth. Tlie products of their forests first gave them the ready available means to develop their mineral resources, and the practical results have been suoh that the-transportation facilities everywhere south have been found insufficient for the vol ume of trade that has sprung up. Almost every town and city in the south, and especially those with any pretensions to a show for freight tariff, is clamoring for additional rail road facilities. In every case the need seems to be urgent, and is recognized by capitalists, and •the work now being done on many new lines show it. Columbus has one new line under fair head way now, and soon trains over it will be running into and out of the city on schedule time. Bnt the city needs another, and with her advantage •of location, population and enterprise, should be in no danger of falling behind our neigh boring cities in the state and adjoining states. All the towns and cities south of us are anxious to see Columbus put the Columbus Southern on -• solid basis. We should not disappoint them, but when the time comes let all do “theColum- •bua way" and go right ahead with it. Eev. J. A. Hixon, of Union Springs, Ala., is an -old subscriber to the Enquirer-Sun. In remit ting the money for a renewal of his subscription, be pays the Enquirer-Sun a very high tribute. Among other good things he says: “Though now in my second half century, I have read your paper from my early manhood; and I say trurhfully, I can not well do without it. It is more considerate, more real, more correct and more truthful in IN statements than any .secular paper that I read.” The Enquirer-Sun is moved to take off its cap in grateful recognition of this, as well sb the many other kind words of commendation and good will that come in with every mail and meet us at every turn. It prints more papers to-day than it ever printed before, and the increase is sure and continuing. Its advertising patronage has steadily increased, and in looking over the receipts, we are led to exclaim: be, it is good ! And now, with nearly the record of a year left behind and the days of uncertainty and losses passed, the Enquirer-Sun passes into the do main of successful, assured metropolitan news- paperdom, on the high road to a big destiny. It seek3 and will continue to seek new fields of news and invades new territories of readers and it grows apace with its profits and its labors, thanking a generous public for its unstinted kindness. The Enquirer-Sun looks into the fu ture with bright and hopeful assurance of a rapid advance to the forefront of journalism in the south, for Lo, it is good! A tall woman with a wart on her nose and a stern expression in her eye got on the street car at the Rankin house corner. She deposited her basket of sundry provender, surmounted by a consumptive spring chicken, on the floor beside her. The car was crowded, and the woman did not observe a small dog that threaded its way among the legs of the pale and suffering standing passengers, and finally crouched down beside the basket on which reposed the pale corpse of the spring chicken. Whether by accident or design does not ap pear, but the fact remains that the leg of the chicken somehow got in the dog’s mouth, and the dog, after vainly endeavoring to swallow the fowl at one fell gulp, dragged it from the basket, rushed with it to the door, jumped from the platform and tore down Broad street. Just as the dog jumped from the platform the woman looked down at the basket and saw that the chicken was gone. She arose with extreme suddenness. “Conductor 1 " she yelled. “My chicken is gone! Stop the carl!!" The conductor jerked the bell rope, the car stopped, and as the woman reached the platform she discerned the yellow dog and the chicken rapidly fading in the distance. “Hold the car while I catch the dog!" she ex claimed. The conductor told her that it would take about an hour to catch the dog. So she got oil, while the car moved on, and the passengers who looked out of the rear window saw her tearing along the middle of the street, carrying the bas ket in one hand and motioning to the dog to stop with the other. The conductor explained the action of the canine by saying “the dog was hungry.” “A striking feature of American life which has attracted the attention of intelligent travelers is the frequent change of occupation among our countrymen. In many parts of the Old World not only does a man stick faithfully to his trade or business which he learned in early life, but even generation aftqr generation adheres to tire same persuit. In America change is the rule and per manency of occupation tire exception. The above remark, made by an intelligent looking gentleman sitting in the Rankin house rotunda, attracted the reporter's attention, and he asked; “How do you like the American way?" “I rather like it,” said he, “as I have known many men to make money by such changes. As an instance not uncommon, I have an acquaint ance who learned the trade of pressman in one of the best printing offices in his city. Scarcely had he mastered that trade when he was called to be business manager of a newspaper in an in terior town, his brother being editor. A few DALLY ^INQUIRER - SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA StJXDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 5, 1836, years later the paper was sold to considerable ad vantage. and my friend entered the boot and shoe business.” “ Did he make money in the shoe trade ?” “ Yes, he did well, but not even this varied ex perience was enough for him, for he has since gone into provision dealing. In no branch of business did he foil, but iu foot at each change had more capital thau he started with. The changes grew naturally out of his circum stances and his relations with other persons. My friend was no more restless or anxious for change than any other American. He simply followed the indications for the time being, and by his readiness iu tukmg hold of the new enterprise displayed the true American knack of adapting himself to his surroundings and making the best of them. Instances of similar and even greuter changes might leadily be cited. They go to prove in a small way what the whole nation exempli fies to the world-versatility combined with thoroughness.” CHAT ABOUT (Hl’IU’HKS. The Methodist Ministers and the Conference Year. What has Been Dsne In the Way of Progress. The Ksteem In Which the Preachers are Held. Meeting a prominent member <>* one of the leading churches yesterday, he remarked: ‘.‘It is understood that Rev. Walker Lewis, pastor of St. Paul church, will have somethrng to say about the Good Templars* banquet at the Rankin House, Tuesday night, in his 11 o’clock sermon to-morrow.” “What will he say of it?” • “That I cannot tell because I don’t know. But he is one of the most conscientious and devoted temperance men in the state, and as the Good Templars have been esteemed as an organization of which temperance is the underlying principle» he will no doubt criticise the propriety of their giving a banquet in which stimulating and intox icating beverages were a prominent feature. He does not hesitate to strike at an evil wherever and whenever it presents itself, and I know that he looks upon it as an evil.” Speaking of Mr. Lewis reminds us to say that his conference year as pastor of St. Paul church closes with the service to-day. He assumed pastoral charge of the church under rather pecu liar circumstances, already having served an other church in the city the allotted four years. Onr people felt that they could not give him up and in response to the most urgent appeals he was returned. That the year has been one of great prosperity to the church, and that it has been very satisfactory and gratifying, the facts go to demonstrate. There has been a net in crease of over forty per cent in the membership. Outside of the usual very liberal collections made, about $1600 have been raised and spent on the church building. It is now one of the most handsome as well as one of the most com fortable churches in the city. But this iB not the only gratifying feature in the progress and prosperity of the church. The membership has been very greatly revived and more thoroughly cemented together. The at tendance upon divine services has been largely increased, and among the new additions to the membership are some of the best, most practical and most prominent business men of the city. There has been an awakening :n what the word implies, and if consideration is given to the uni versal desire, regardless of denominational senti ments, Rev. Walker Lewis will be returned to this woTk for the ehsuing conference year. Rev. Geo. G. N. MacDonell, pastor of St. Luke church, will submit a frill report of the work of the church during the year at the 11 o’clock ser vice this morning. After this service the regular sacramental service will be held. The service to-day closes the conference year, and the report to be made by the pastor will not show an increase in the membership, but read between the lines probably some of the best pas toral work ever done in the city may be observed. We are told that there have been about thirty- five or forty accessions, and the larger number of losses may be accounted for by the fact that members who have moved away and from other causes should not be continued on the rolls,have been weeded out, and there is now little “chaff” among the “wheat.” The collections have been un to the usual standard. The first year of Mr. MacDonell’s pastoral work in this city closes to day, though he came here by no means a stranger. During the year he has added largely to his already long list of warm friends, and no minister in the city is held in higher esteem. His pastoral work has been I highly satisfactory to the church and to the con gregation. The church is in a prosperous and growing condition, and the Sunday school is one of the most flourishing in the'eity. During a few weeks iu the summer, all the other churches were closed and other denominations attended upon his ministrations. They now join with St. Luke church and congregation in the sincere de sire that he will be returned to the care of that church. In this the church is practically a unit. Interesting services will be held at St. Luke to night, at which time the anniversary of tfce Mis sionary Sunday School Society will be held. It is quite probable that Broad Street church was never.'in a better condition thanit is at this time. Rev. W. A. Huckabee is pastor and has been for a little more than two years. There is not a more zealous minister in the city, and the zeal that he has put into his work has had a tell ing effect. When he began the year’s work which closes to-day the church was burdened with a debt of about $1600. It had been hanging like a mill-stone about the church for years. Mr. Huckabee wanted it wiped out and laid his plans for that purpose. During the past year not only the church debt has been paid, but the regular church collections have been more liberal than in any previous year. “Did you think you could raise that much money?” we asked a member of the church, who is also a steward, yesterday afternoon. “ I did not,” said he. “ And I do not believe we could have done it had not it been for the earnest and energetic labor of the pastor. He is a good man, and a more zealous man I have not known. In addition to paying off the old debt and raising money for usual church purposes, Broad street church has replaced the benches with neat pews, carpeted the floor, repainted the inside of the church and had considerable repair ing done on the roof.” “ How about the membership of the church ?” “It has increased very rapidly, is in a good spiritual condition and fine working order. The church now has 676 members. The stewards will have their last meeting to-morrow night and at that time it is hoped that all its financial af fairs will be in good shape.” # It will thus be seen that all the Methodist churclies in the city are in a prosperous condi tion. The situation cannot be otherwise than satisfactory. Whether all or any of the ministers will be returned for another year is for the con ference to say. It meets in Cuthbert, Wednes day, and if no change is made in this city, it is believed that it will meet with general approba tion. A flitting Affray at Hamilton. Information reached the city yesterday of a euttiug affray in Hamilton Friday. The parties were Messrs. John Garner and Bartow Brooks, both young men, who reside north of Hamilton. Brooks was cut on the neck and in the back, and his coat was cut in several places. Garner’s coat was also cut, but we understand that he received no wounds. Brooks’ wounds are not considered dangerous. Our informant did not know the particulars of the difficulty, or how it occurred^ Summary of the Week’s Events in Browne- viile and Girard. Brownerllle Still FlourUhlng hut not Much Kx- cited—L dural ion ami Tcmporance—Accident* and Incidents—Social Mention. The little city of Browneville is still iu a flourishing condition, though the town for the past week has been devoid of excitements and free from sensational incidents and rumors. The town council at its last meeting transacted no busi ness of genoral interest, and the educational meeting culled for last Wednesday evening proved a failure in consequence k f the slim at tendance. But the important question will not be permitted t » rest here. Browneville has many live citizens who pride themselves in a deep in terest on public questions—especially those of education and temperance. The latter is already planted on a firm basis, and the day is not far distant when the ways and means will be provided for a public school system which shall vie with that of neighboring cities. Happenings of the Week. We stated iu a previous issue that Rev. I. P. Cheney, of Russell, had been called to the pastorate of the Browneville Baptist church. The citizens will he pleased to learn that the reverend gentleman has accepted the call and will soon enter upon the duties of the responsi ble position. Mr. Cheney U a son of the late Dr. I. P. Cheney, of Columbus, and is a polished gentleman and able divine. The church is to be congratulated upon his acceptance, and it is to be hoped that in his hands the great cause of the Master will be firmly established in the commu nity. On Thursday evening last Mr. Len Ogletree and Hiss Mattie Amerson were united iu mar riage. Rev. I. P. Chaney officiated. A five-months-old infant of Mr. E. F Byrd died on Thursday night. The funeral will be preach ed at Temperance hall, Columbus, at 11a. iu. to day by Rev. J. H. Britton. Mrs. Young, mother of A. O. and T. S. Young, had au arm broken a few days since by a full from the back porch of her residence. She is still confined to her room, though her speedy re covery is prayed for by the many friends of the family. Browneville Brief*. Yesterday was the most gloomy day of the sea son. There have been several business changes of location during the week. Rabbits are coming in freely, but they are not fat wuf a cent. Mr. E. Jefferson has removed to the county line store and seems well pleased at his change. If you want a Sunday morning shave call on W. H. Preddy, over Allen’s saloon. W. H. Davison will conduct services at tne Free Will Baptist church in the valley at 11 a. m. to-day. Rev. Mr. dimming will preach at Trinity morn ing and night. This will be the last service be fore the session of the South Alabama confer ence. Mr. Frank Preddy has returned from a several months absence. During the winter he will be connected with the B. B. B. as cornet player. Mr. Herring, the fat joker, has enlarged his store and doubled his stock of goods. Those wanting bargains should give him a call. His store is south of P. O. . ANOTHER ANALYSIS. And It Nhon* that UoIuiiiIiiin Novi»r Lags Behind. The Enquihhr-Hun has frequently balled atten tion to the Home Mixture Guano, manufactured here in Columbus, as one of tlio beat fertilizers made in all the country. We have never made such tin assertion without presenting the figures to show the truth of the statement In present ing figures it should be remembered that all acid phosphates arc purchased by dealers ou their unit value. The * * 4 5 * laws of the state require an analysis of onlv 10 per cent, of phosphoric acid, but this fertilizer is sold under a guarantee of 14 per cent, of available phosphoric acid. But it is figures that talk. Professor H. C. White, state chemist of Georgia, has just made an analysis of the Home Mixture, and it is as fol lows : Moisture 7.75 per cent. Insoluble phosphoric acid 2.80 “ “ Soluble “ “ 7.00 “ “ Reverted “ “ 3.25 “ “ Available “ “ 10.25 “ “ Ammonia 2.80 “ “ Potash ( K. OJ) 1.75 “ “ Professor White places the commercial value at $26.09. We can only repeat what we have heretofore said, that the fertilizer made by this company is the best that is manufactured anywhere in all the country, and it has proved to be the superior of the Peruvian guano. There is not one particle of dirt in the Home Mixture guano, and it is as honestly made as it is possible for cotton seed meal, acid phosphate, nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia, muriate of potash and bones to make. This is what the fertilizer is com posed of, and from the manner iu which every thing is arranged and conducted at the mill, we say to all our readers that it is all that is claimed for it, and that there is no probability that inferior sacks of it cun be found thau there is iu a sack of flour from the same lot of wheat and sacked from the same bin. Every man knows exactly what he gets, and whenever he finds a sack of the Home Mixture Guuuo, with the Columbus Fertilizer Company’s brand upon it, he may rest assured that it is just as good and pure as if he had stood by and ordered it made. TIIKY HAVE DONE IVELL. The Committee Return Thanks and Will On Actively to the Work. The executive committee who have been can vassing for the Y. M. C. A. fund during the past week report that they have met with very en couraging success and have received several very liberal contributions. On Tuesday next the committee will publish the subscription list in order to lay the matter open to the public. They desire to renew the pledge already made to them careftilly, for obtaining the very best results in the work of moral reform in Columbus. They intend to move upon lines of action which are tried, proven and aggressive. The great difficulty of reaching every one per sonally who ought to aid iu this work, has in duced them to lay the ouus of its demands thus publicly upon the conscience of every individual. Inasmuch as people are answerable to God for opportunities as well as actions, it behooves every man and woman to weigh well the matter of their relation to this enterprise. The committee desire to appeal especially the ladies of the city who ought to be especially alive to the interests of the Y. M. C. A. Contributions can be made either to the executive board or through the Enquirer-Sun. Money given to a cause lik$ this is “ laid up” for a rainy day that may over take us in either world. “ There is that which scattereth abroad and yet increaseth ; there is that which withholds, but it tends to poverty.” “ Every man as he purposeth in his heart so let him give.” JACKSON GETS OUT. Governor bunion I’nnloiiH Him und (live* Hi* Reason for It. Atlanta, Ga., December 4.—Major George T. Jackson, of Augusta, ex-presi dent of the Enterprise cotton factory, was pardoned by Gov. Gordon from the peni tentiary to-day. Following is the execu tive order: To the Principle of the Penitentiary: Whereas, George T. Jackson was at tne April term, 1885, of the superior court of Richmond county convicted of the crime of embezzlement and sentenced to hard labor in the penitentiary for a space of seven years, said term to commence from date of said sentence, the lllfch day of May, 1886, and is now under said sentence con fined in the penitentiary, and, Whereas, numerous petitions for the par don of said Jackson have been tiled in this office, in which the people of Georgia from every section of the state, and of all classes ana conditions and political affilia tions, are represented; and. Whereas, the citizens of Richmond coun ty arc especially urgent in invoking execu tive clemency in behalf of said Jackson, in cluding many of those who suffered serious ecuniary loss from the offense of which e was convicted; and, Whereaa ; the members of the bar of Au gusta, the judge who tried tie case, the solicitor who represented the state and the attorneys associated with him in the pros ecution, every member of the jury which convicted him, the sheriff’and the clerk of the superior court of Richmond county, the mayor and council of Augusta ana every official of Richmond county, who is charged with the administration or execution of the criminal law of the state, in the county of Richmond, unite in representing that the law has been fully vindicated in the conviction and incarcera tion of said Jackson ami urge that he be pardoned; and, whereas, the physician in charge the convict camp at which said Jackson is confined and three physicians of the city of Augusta, eminent alike for their character and professional ability, certify that the said Jackson is a confirmed invalid and cannot survive much longer the confinement, and the principal physician of the penitentiary ? after a careful exami nation, coincides with them and reports to this department that in his opinion said Jackson cannot live in confinement for one month; and, Whereas, the executive is impressed with the belief that the length of his term of service in the penitentiary is not the measure of punishment of the suid George T. Jackson, and that his longer confinement would be an exaction of penalty not imposed by the sentence pronounced against him, il is ordered that said George T. Jackson be, and he is here by pardoned of the crime for which he was convicted, and that he be forthwith dis charged from custody. Given under my hand and the seal of the executive department at the capitol, in the city of Atlanta, thiB the fourth day of December, 1888. J. B. Gordon, Governor. By the governor: Jambs T. Nisbkt.

Robert DeVaughn, the bootblack,has come, up missing, and his friends are very uneasy about him. , Mr. D. E. Wade, who has been critically ill for several weeks, is still in a doubtful state, though his many friends hope for the best. CilBAUD GLEANINGS. An Encouraging Future—The Long Street Road. Death of ou Old Citizen—News Notes, Etc. The friends of Girard are still hopefhl and con fident. When the “Spring-time comes, gentle Annie,” there is to be a resuscitation north of the creek,. The old tenements along the main thoroughfare leading northward from the creek bridge are to be overhauled and rejuvenated, or torn down and new ones built in their stead. Some of these tenements have withstood the tempests of # half a century, but their days are numbered. Old things are to be done away with and all things shall become new in order to keep step with the progress of events. The location is certainly one of the prettiest and most eligible in Girard, and the wonder is that it has so long been permitted to lapse into ruinous decay. But a brighter day is dawning. The festive goat and the owl and the bat must go, while the music of the saw and hammer will revive the memory of “Auld Lang Syne.” Let her roll. The present citizens will welcome any change for the better. “Frog Level” and “Eagle City” are not dead— they only sleep. A Bridge on Long Street. It will be remembered that there have been grievous complaints aboutthe Long street ravine, and the dangerous condition of the road. A cul vert, costing several cool hundred dollars was built, but it was carried off by the first heavy rain. Then the tide of travel was turned round the Brittingliam hill, which gave the Girard mer chants the go by, and militated greatlv against their interests. A communication setting forth these facts was addressed during the past week to Judge Glenn, at Seale, who answered that he would call a meeting of the commissioners on the 15th of this month to consider the subject. From a free consultation with the citizens, we are satisfied that they do not want the road changed by any circuitous rout, but prefer the old route and a bridge over the ravine. We hope their wishes will.be respected, and that the commis sioners will order a bridge over said ravine as soon us possible. Death of un Old Citizen. Mr. Q. A. Lawhon, who had resided in Colum bus and Girard for half a century, died on Fri day, in his 76th year, and his funeral took place yesterday from his late residence. Mr. L. was au old-time cotton-buyer, and was well-known and respected on the streets of Columbus for half a century. He was identified with the early mili tary companies of Columbus, and served in the Indian war of ’36. His many friends will feel an honest pang of regret at his demise, though it occurred at the end of his three score and ten. Npwk .Notes. Trade is reported dull. Several of the ladies are learning to ride on horseback. Mrs. S. J. Somerkamp left for Analachicola on Thursday to visit her husband, injured by the ice mathide explosion. Miss Grace Jackson, who has been visiting- friends in Eufaula, is expected home to-day. The Good Templars have changed their meet ings from Wednesday to Thursday evenings. The Peabody school trustees transuded no business of general interest at their meeting this week. The Sons and Daughters of Jacob have suffered the loss of $170.

December 2, 1886. dec8 3t THE (JE TKAL < (IMPRESS. Tube Run Only in the Day Hereafter— What It Has Been Doing. The Central railroad cotton compress on and after to-morrow will be run only during the day. It started with the opening of the cotton season on the 14th of September, working only one set of hands during the day until the 4th of October, when it became necessary to run both day and night to compress the cotton shipped. Since that date two sets of hands have been employed to keep it going both day and night to its full capacity. To this date it has compressed about 100,000 bales of cotton this season. From now until the close of the season it will be run only during the day with one set of hands, working from 7 a. m. until 5:30 p. m., stopping half an hour for dinner. At some pjints com plaints have been made of a blockade of cotton at the depots. With the exception of a few days during the greatest rush the cotton has been promptly moved from this point. While the noise made by the compress running at night was disturbing to some,yet all recognized the necessity for it, but, nevertheless, many will be glad to hear that the emergency is passed. Let There Be Light. It is always unpleasant to speak in terms ©f censure, or to feel compelled to animadvert in language approaching severity of the evil prac tices of a fellow-creature. It is much more in ac cordance with our natural amiability, developed and strengthened as it is by constant contact with the outside world, to speak in words of praise of all men, to encourage the weak, to raise the fallen, assist the unfortunate and let fall a kindly tear of sympathy over the downfall of the utterly bad. But a public journal must oflimcs “hold th j mirror up to nature” among earth’s children. The fatlu r who really loves his chil dren, and has their welfare at heart, must some tim*H steel his soul against their physical suffer ing and administer the rod or the slipper where it will do most good. And right here we desire to say that for the past two nights the citizens oi Columbus have very badly treated by those whose business it is to light the street lamps or see that it is done. We have nol had a more disagreeable night in this city for yeurs than befell us last, night, and yet everybody had to grope their way in rain and mud and darkness. It was at least two hours after nightfall ere any one knew there was such a thing as a street lamp in the city, if they were to he informed by seeing the lights. If such things are to occur, by all means let it be at other times than rainy, dark nights. Dr. TIioiiihm S. MitrliHI. Dr. Thomas .8. Mitchell reached the city with his family yesterday from Hamilton, and the Enquirer-Sun takes pleasure in welcoming them to Columbus. The Hamilton Journal, in speaking of his departure from that place, says he “has been a resident and an active physician and surgeon of this place lor nearly twenty- seven years. In this time he has pursued the j practice of his profeesion with a zeal and ability that have won for hini a high place iu the esteem ! of very many of our best citizens, and while the regret at his removal is universal here, it is not less so than the desire that tne rosicst-hued ex pectations may find lull fruition in his iUw home. He had served the people of this com munity for nearly a whole generation, a period uiiinterrupted except by two years of service as surgeon in the confederate army. He goes to the city of Columbus, where his office will beat the drug store of Hall & Wheat. His residence will be on Rose Hill, but will be, as will also be his office, connected with the telephone system of the city.” A Store Burglarized. The store of M. E. O’Neal & Co. at Hatche- chubbee, Ala., was burglarized Friday night. The extent of their loss could not be learned. Malaria. Twenty-five hundred dozen bottles of Ague Conqueror ordered in one month.
