Uordray at their residence, on First avenue, Monday night, in honor of Mr. T. J. Cordray and bride, of Harris county. Quito a largo number of friends and relatives were pres ent and participated in the exevciscs of the even ing. Everything passed off most pleasantly, nothing whatever occurring to mar the pleasure of any one. Funeral of .Mr. Morris. The funeral of Mr. David Morris took place at 3 p. m. at the Second Baptist church yesterday. The service was conducted by Rev. J. W. Howard. The remains wore followed to the cemetery by a large number of the Improved Order of Red Men, of which he was a member. The following were the pall-bearers : II. J. Waldroup, A. N. El liott, David Williams, L. J. Goius, W. Morris and J. A. Haney. Some Good Advice. When merchants have anything to sell they should not hesitate to let the public know the facts. Judicious advertising saves the time o' buyers and makes money for the sellers. There is not a judicious buyer in Columbus that does not consult the advertising columns of the Enquirer-Bun before embarking on a shopping expedition. By so doing double the work can be accomplished by them with mucl\ satisfaction and quicker sales made by the merchant . By advertising in many instances it enables buyers to settle in their minds what they will buy be fore starting out; therefore they will ask for it when they first go in the store, thereby saving time for themselves and the merchant or clerk*. Important Real Estate Sales. There were two or three important sales of real estate yesterday. Dr. R. J. Bruce sold his place just north of Rose Hill to Mr. 1). R. Bize for $6800. Mr. Bize also purchased Mr. J. H. Harrison’s place adjoining that of Dr. Bruce for $3500. It v-as also reported late yesterday evening that Mrs. D’Antiguac had sold her plantation a few miles from the city to a negro ft r $3000, but we were unable to learn the purchaser’s name. The sales show that there is a demand for property near Columbus at good prices. There is a healthy growth in and around Columbus and the increased prosperity of the city' cannot be denied. Columbus must and will flourish, and if everybody will put a shoulder to the wheel and push, there will be such au improvement as has never been known before. TIip Juvenile Entertainment. The Juvenile Mission Society of St. Paul church gave their festival at Hotel Riddle last night. It was one of the most enjoyable occasions of the kind that has occurred in Columbus in a long time. The girls were tastily costumed and were as pretty as the June roses. The tables were heavily ladened with all the choice viands and delicacies of the season, and were served by as fair hands as ever graced a festal board. Many' charming and beautiful things were sold, among them a beautifrilcrazy quilt which brought $25. The evening was a success as viewed from a social standpoint. Nor have we ever st en a more orderly party of guests than those who assem bled there, and pleasure reigned supreme. The young folk chatted gaily as they sipped the chocolate or ate the ice cream and delightful cake. The ladies request us to say that lunch will be served from 11 o’clock this morning until 3 o’clock this afternoon. They will take great pleasure in •erving all who call.

A Meeting of Hie OntiigtTs— I’lie Negroes In No Hurry to Contract—Other Matters of Interest. Nances, December 28.—Enquirer-Sun: Your correspondent attended a grange meeting at the Cataula grange hall on Saturday, where we met quite a number of the sturdy old farmers of that community. The grange was presided over by Worthy Grand Master of the State Grange T. II. Kimbrough. We think T. 11. K. is the right man in the right place. Two degrees were conferred. We had a recess of one hour to partake of one more good grange dinner. We will not attempt to describe it, but will say it was sufficient in quantity and quality to satisfy any reasonable appetite. After dinner we had a most excellent speech from Worthy Grand Master Kimbrough upon the necessity of co-operative aotion of the farmers, followed on the same line by Hon. J. B. Roper, Master of Muscogee grange. We found camped ou the roadside a party of Dutch, as they called themselves. They have been camped there for several days trading and traffioiug with anybody they can induce to their camp. They have three bears. They pretend to make them dance, and want pay for the per formance. Rev. Mr. Fentress has moved iuto the parson age at Cataula, and has entered on his work for the ensuing year. He preached at Shiloh church last Sabbath on the words, “It is a good thing for me to draw nigh to God.” On Monday we were invited to meet at Mr. J. Moon’s on business pertaining to Kimbrough lodge. Here wo had the pleasure of meeting Mr. A. J. Floyd and his good wife, Mr. F. J. Johnson, Mr. A. B. Lynch and Mr. , one of the cleverest bachelors we ever met, and » man as fond of children as any father we ever saw. We think some woman can yet get a good husband and a splendid man if they will set for our bachelor friend, and if any good lady wishes any farther information she can get it by applying tome. The freed men are not contracting much yet Some of them are moving to the city to try their luck in town. They say they cannot make any thing on the farm, and those remaining in the country are not making any, or but few contracts R. HOTEL ARRIVALS. RANKIN HOUSE. J. M. Baker, Lively, Ala.; J. H.

A strikingly characteristic tetter turned up at the Windsor the other day. It was written by a drummer, and as the world well knows, drummers most generally have a way of their own and n style peculiar to themselves. The letter was addressed to “E. B. Freeman, or Harry Hawes, or anybody tlse at the Windsor Hotel, Montgomery, Alabama.” The body of the letter was as follows: “Please forward mail, corner lots, brown stone fronts, telegrams, good wishes, or anything else that may come in your care for me to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Louisville.”—Montgomery Advertiser.

The people of Columbus have much reason for feeling proud of an opportunity to contribute to the ftind of the Stephens Monumental Associa tion. About twenty years ago it was a dark period in the history of some of the best people in Columbus, who stood upon the very threshold of an ignominious death for a crime with which they had no concern, and by a hand which no man here had the authority to stay. It was at that critical moment that Hon. Alexander H. Stephens gave all his time, his talents, his ener gies to avert what would have been another crime as block as ever disgraced pagan history— the murder of Columbus prisoners. Mr. Stephens is dead and his bones now quiet ly repose in the grave. While living Georgia gave him every honor that it was possible for them to give. Let them be true to his memory and erect a monument that will stand to remind generations now unborn that he lived in this day and time. Miss Mary A. H. Gay, the agent of the Stephens Monument-.] 1 Association, is now in the city and will remain here a few days. She comes with the highest commendations, but this is not needed here, as her good name long since pre ceded her. She visits Columbus to solicit sub scriptions in aid of the laudable purposes of the association, and will give our people au oppor tunity to contribute to it. All the money re ceived by Miss Gay will be deposited in one of the banks of the city, and the name of each con tributor will be put upou record. Hon. Henry R. Jackson, of Savannah, thus speaks of the association and this most estiaiublc lad y: ‘‘The Stephens Monumental Association was organized for the purpose of buying Liberty Hall, the residence of Gov. Stephens, of removing to it his remains, of erecting upon it a suitable monu ment in his memory, and of establishing a high school to be called the Stephens High School. Mr. W. R. Gunn, the treasurer of the association, in a letter addressed to myself, speaks of Miss Gay as ‘our'worthy and efficient agent.’ For many years past Miss Gay has devoted her life and her energies to works which involved the highest interests, the honor and the glory of her state and of the south It was mainly if not wholly through her efforts that the means were obtained for constructing the cemetery at Frank lin for the confederate dead who fell before that town; the most beautiful cemetery in the entire south. She has not yet failed in any work of this kind which she has undertaken, and I heartily commend her to your highest respect and kindest consideration.” NEWS FROM OI’ELIKA. Sam Small Makes a Temperance Speech—Other Notes of Interest. Special Correspondence Enquirer-Sun. Opelika, Ala., December 28.—Rev. Sam W. Small delivered an eloquent lecture on temper ance at the Methodist church last night. The house was crowded. Scarcely standing room was to be had either on the floor or in the gallery. He portrayed in vivid style his experience from the bar-room to the pulpit, and warned the peo pie of whisky, which was the cau-e of bis down fall. He is an elegant gentleman and a fine scholar, and it is rarely the people of Opelika have the opportunity to hear such a celebrated divine. Railroad travel is the heaviest known for yeaTs; all trains are crowded. Colonel R. J. Trammell’s new building is re ceiving the finishing touches. There will be a skating rink in the second story. There is only one or two eases of sickness here now. The health of our city is remarkably good. The calaboose has been used a great deal dur ing the holidays, many cases of drunkenness were disposed of during the week. COTTON FACTS, Visible Supply—Receipts at Ports—Weather, Eti. The New York Financial Chronicle of Decem ber 23 makes the total visible supply of cotton 3,128,484 bales, an increase as compared with last year of 166,621, a decrease as compared with 1884 of 7823j and a decrease as compared with 1883 of 276,216. For the week ending December 24 the receipts at the United States ports reached 283,045 bales, making the total since September 1,3,319,180 bales, showing an increase of 101,790. The twenty-six interior towns for the week end ing December 24 received 180.931 bales, shipped 158,350 and had stocks of 433,534 bales. Same time last year they received 149,614, shipped 109,534 and had stocks of 521,319. The above totals show that the old interior stocks have increased during the week 18,409 bales and are to-night 87,868 bales less than at the same period last year. The receipts at the same towns have been 9322 bales more than the same week last year, and since September 1 the receipts at all the towns are 18,962 bales less than for the same time in 1885. The exports for the week ending this evenin'? reach a total of 229,198bales, cf which 136,819 were to Great Britain, 23,978 to France and 68,401 to the rest of the continent. The Chronicle comments on its table of re ceipts from plantations as follows : The above statement shows—1. That the total receipts from plantations since September i, 1886. were 3,904.651 bales; in 1885 were 3,922,839 bales; in 1884 were 3.88i,746 bales. 2. —That, although the receipts at the outports the past week were 283,045 bales, the actual move ment from plant a,;, mi was 305,626 bales, the bal ance going to increase the stocks at the interior towns. Last year the receipts from the planta tions for the same week were 280,246 bales and for 1881 they were 207.517 bales. In the table below we give the receipts from plantations in another form, and add to them th-» net overland movement to December 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. 1 1885.

Enquirer-Sun:—I wish through your columns to submit a thought or two for the benefit of many that are concerned, and it is this: Suppose Mr. A carries five bales of cotton to Columbus, and Mr. A sells the five bales to Mr. B on the street at 9 cents per pound, and each bale weighs 500 pounds. That would be 2500 pounds. Mr. A should have for that 2500 pounds of cotton $225, less 10 cents per bale, which the law allows for weighing. I think when Mr. A has delivered the cotton to Mr. B at the warehouse he is not responsible, nor Bhould not be required to pay one month’s storage on Mr. B’s cotton. The farmers annually lose from thirty to fifty thousand dollars by being made to pay Btorage on cotton they do not store. T. C. Rees. Helping the Poor. During this month of December I have dis tributed among the poor of this city, white and colored, twenty-three car-loads of wood, thus giving temporary supplies to about four hundred families. With the assistance of some of our good ladies, I have also given out twelve or fif teen hundred yards of cloth, furnished by our factories. I have also put shoes on the feet of many poor orphans and have done much other wise for the comfort of the poor. “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” J. H. Campbell.
