TO THE STOCKHOLDERS
Of the C«ntr*l B..lIro«rt
Of Cnorglu,
j received in November a circular
signed by your president requesting vour
he P k P n°ew a Sf nn^° r ? em f nt ' ^ that
ne Knevv of no desire to change t he man-
ff“. The letter of this statement may
have known, but he
V t la ^ tune, had ample reasons
iT,'if! g i raV r nnd serious opposition to
thl a ^ ni ! trat °''. l |le circular itself is
£ff he8t evidence that he sought to
. ’■ coll r tust h y securing in ndvanee
the pioirnse of your support. In addition
J eports have been widely
circulated that the opposition to the pres
ent management was composed of wreck
ers and those who sought to injure your
property and your state. This is absolute
ly talse. Eleven out of thirteen of vour
directors must bo Georgians. A majority
of them will control your property. The
opposition to the present management
S* ve faith in the value of your property,
rhey have evidenced this faith bv purchas
ing stock at figures as high as $60 |a share
more than some of the leading members of
the present directory said it was worth. Do
men invest millions in a property to de
stroy it. W hile your directors have used
the knowledge of your names and ad
dresses to procure proxies in their own in
terests, to perpetuate their own power,
they have denied us access to the same in
formation in order to prevent us from con
ferring with you and correcting the false
impressions conveyed to you. Our friends
applied to your cashier for a list of your
names, *and he, under the instructions of
your directors, refused it. Why? Is it not
clear? To perpetuate their control, by pre- .
venting us from correctin' i'ul.se reports'
and presenting to you tho reasons why a I
change of management is not on'y desira-
ole, but necessary for the protection of |
your interests. Will you endorse by your
votes a policy of concealment?
Will you appoint agents who not only
conceal from you the material facts, but
deny your clear and undoubted rights? j
We have made every effort to ascertain j
your names and addresses. Denied our !
rights by our directors we applied to the !
court to compel them to perform their
duty. The court has decided that the j
right of the stockholder to have access to !
the books of his corporation for the pur- j
pose of ascertaining who his associates are, I
in order that he may confer and advise
witli them as to the best persons to man
age their common property, is clear and
undoubted. Still our directors refuse to I
submit; to gain time they appeal to the I
supreme court, well knowing that that I
court has adjourned until January 10, and I
that the ease cannot be heard therein un- !
til after the election on January 3. They ‘
use the law’s delay to defeat 11s of a com- I
mon right. Is this fair? Is the manage-j
ment of your great property to be secured
by such method? Does it not occur to you I
that your agents would not make this des- !
perate fight to prevent you from confer
ring together unless the consciousness of
their own errors convinced them that such
conference would result in their retire
ment ? A stockholder should be vigilant;
his interests demand it. He should jeal
ously watch and protect his rights.
Your vote is your most important right
in this corporation. Will you sacrifice it?
We trust not. Come to the election on
the 3d of January, confer witli your asso
ciates and vote your stock in person. De
termine for yourself who will best serve
your interests.
This election will be both important and
interesting. It will repay a trip to Savan
nah. Your ownership of stock entitles
you to a free ride on your road.
We urge you to come.

A GOOD DOG STORY.
1 Puppj That Freda and Cures lor a Friendless |
ami Helpless Old Ho(j.
The most thoroughly artistic dog story !
that has been sprung on the public lately
is put out by Jesse Haugh, and clearly en
titles him to entrance to the free-for-all.
Haugh has a setter pup of extraordinary
intelligence (taking his word for it), and
was walking up Meridian street with the
dog one day last week. Out on the edge
of the gutter, near the blind asylum, the
pup discovered an old pointer, and, with
the natural curiosity <pf his kind, started
out to make the acquaintance of his fellow
canine. An inspection developed
the fact that, in addition to the nat
ural infirmities incident to his ad
vanced years, the old dog nad
been totally disabled by some malicious
scamp who had shot him in the face with
a load of small shot, destroying the sight
of both eyes. Now, here is where Haugh
makes his record. He says that the puppy,
having satisfied himself of the condition ot
the old dog, adopted all sorts of ruses to
get him to stand up, barking and coaxing
id every way imaginable, his eilorts being
finally rewarded by success. In the same
way he led the blind dog to Mr. Haugh a
home on Pratt street, got him back into
the shed, and made up a good bed witli
straw and old carpet, into which he care
fully piloted him. Every time the puppy
has been fed since, he has taken his meal
to his invalid companion, devoting as
much care and attention to him as one
human being would to another.—Indian
apolis Journal.

DAILY INQUIRER - SUN; COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 31, 1 886.
K was wheeling round and round, flapping
its big winga, just as you’ve seyn buzzards
or eagles do, overhead, Down it cam \
lower and lower, and l a-crouching as fiui
ns I could get. The nearer it got the big
ger it looked, and, as l see it was Resettling
°n me, I took the pike I always carried, j
and as it wheeled around over* me 1 let
drive. Hit it? Well, I reckon I did. The
next thing I knew I was standing on mv :
head, rolling over and over, then yanked i
sideways, half-drowned, and then I reckon
I lost my senses, and when I came to I was
lyin’ on deck and all hands looking at mo. 1
i ou see the critter had given the water'
such a swirl that I was knocked end fori
end, and my pipe and line twisted around i
and around so that I couldn’t breathe, and j
of course that pulled the line and the man I
thought I had jerked it to come up, so
th^y hauled away for all they were worth, '
and that’s what saved my life.
“What was it? Why, nothing but one of 1
those sea bats—blanket fish .the other men I
called it—and they all said I had a narrow
run for it. That was the way, accordin’ to
their say, that the fish goes to work to get !
away with a man. They first settle down
on you like a blanket, and there you are.
There wasn’t a man that would go down, i
after that for several days, and as for me.
I threw up the job; no blanket, fish for me.
No, I don’t hardly believe the fish was
alter me. My idea is that it was coming !
down on the bank to feed on tile oysters
and that ic didn’t see me, and plenty of
men may have been lost by the fish get
ting fouled in the line; hut that's only my
idea. I was just as scared as ifit had nude
a grab at me, and I didn’t propose to take
any chances.”
SENATOR LOGAN'S VACANT SEAT.
Oglesby, Fanvpfi and Four Congressmen Irnm Illi
nois Would Like if.
Washington, December 29.—The suc
cessor to Senator Logan in the senate can
be counted upon as one of six men.
Outside of the candidates that may be :
found in the congressional delegation,
there are but two who will figure in the
contest. These are Gov. R. J. Oglesby and 1
ex-Congressman Charles B. Fanveli. In ■
this connection, however, it is not a cer
tainty that Gov. Oglesby will become a
candidate. When lie was last elected
Governor, he then announced that with
the expiration of his present office he in
tended to retire from public life to his
farm at Lincoln. If he is still of the
opinion expressed two years ago tin? num
ber will be reduced to five. Those of the !
congressional delegation who are known !
as candidates are Gen. Henderson, Judge
Payson, ‘Mr. Cannon and Mr. Hitt. The i
contest will rest, without doubt, between
Mr. Farwell’ and the four congressmen I
above named. Those who speak know- 1
ingly upon the subject do not think ex- |
Secretary of War Robert T. Lincoln has I
any thought of becoming a candidate.
The same persons entertain similar op in- i
ions with reference to the mentioned can
didacy of Jehu Baker. Should the race be
narrowed down to the four congressmen it ,
would seem that Henderson and Judge
Payson might be most formidable, though
Mr. Cannon has been working for a nuin- *
ber of years to reach the senatorial goal,
while the two former have never manifest
ed any particular ambition of that kind.
GOV. OGLESBY THE FAVORITE.
Chicago, December 29.—Local politi
cians took up to-day the question of Sena
tor Logan’s successor, and it was generally
agreed that ex Congressman Charles B.
Farwell, of this city, was the favorite in j
the Cook county delegation in the legisla- i
ture, but many of the gossipers did not |
think Mr. Farwell would go into a fight lor ,
the place nor invest the money necessary
to make a winning fight. Congressman |
Payson is mentioned favorably as having j
strength among the country members be- ’
cause of bis fight against the land grant;
railroads. Elfhu B. Washburne is also j
mentioned among the black horses, \
especially as a man upon whom factions
might unite. Still the strong feeling
throughout the state is for Oglesby, and it j
seems almost safe to predict that he will j
succeed Logan if he cares to.
Non Orleans Hares.

Louisiana jockey club. The weather
threatened rain, but the track was in good

Jottings from the Jewelers* Journal.
Among new flower-pins is the pond lily,
with diamond centre.
In plated ware the bright cut satin finish
is still the most popular style.
Circles of small opals, each surrounding
a larger pearl, make pretty ear rings.
The newest bottles for aromatic salts are
made of antique silver, chased in Etruscan
designs.
For pendants on queen chains, faceted
cubes, vinaigrettes, knots and odd shapes
seem to be the favorite still.
Bug and fly pins appear to be increasing i
in size, and the opal is in great requisition |
for the bodies of the insects.
Cats’ heads, made of small diamonds and I
placed on a spiral wire, are among the
new ornaments used for the hair. 1
The soft, will-o’-the-wisp-like glow of
the fairy lamp gives a beautiful effect in
the drawing-room, dining-room or con- j
servatory. . ,
A rare new bracelet 13 a 3ingle narrow' |
band of gold set with a topaz over a half i
inch wide and an inch long, with diamonds |

Opals are now used with good effect in |
combination with rubies or diamonds, in
the popular lines of flower-pins in Roman j
or matted finish.
Egyptian ear-rings made of enameled j
gold in the form of snakes and ropes are in
favor this fall. They are generally enam
eled in blue and garnet.
The spinel seems to be in part usurping
the place hitherto occupied by the ruby as
a companion gem, and in brilliancy is little
inferior to its more costly rival.

Statement of Farts.
Two gentlemen, discussing the subject of
rheumatism and other blood diseases,
made the following declarations. One was
oil crutches, which prompted the inquiry
of the other as to what was the matter.
He said:
“1 have had a long spell of typoid fever,
which left me almost prostrate. My sys
tem was poisoned with malaria, which set
tled in my left leg, causing a fearful ulcer.
M,v friends induced me to take mercury to
cleanse my blood, but, alas! my teeth are
loose, my mouth is wore. My hair Is nearly
all gone, and my limbs arc drawn up witli
rheumatism, and I cannot walk without
crutches. Recently they have changed
tlie prescription, and I have been taking
iodide of potash. This healed up the ulcer,
but inis disordered my stomach and caused
pain in the bowels, and 1 am so weak and
nauseated that 1 had as soon die as to live
on at this vale.”
“My dear sir, you should have known
that mercury taken any length of time
would gradually settle In the tissues and
bones, producing mercurial rheumatism
and other diseases equally as painful. And
everybody knows thru : -'dldt- of potash Ls
one of the strongest mineral preparations
in the whole ii.st; eats away t iio coating of
the stomach, dries up the gastric juices, do-
stroysall appetite, and wears a man away
to a mere skeleton. These mercury and
potash mixtures have killed and crippled
more men than war, famine and nentiUncc.
combined. I am sorry for you. If you are
open to conviction l have relief for you in
sight. Here is a remedy which, os a boon
to humanity, is worth its weight in gold.
I nu-an the S vift’s Specific. It is the only
specific for blood poison. It is purely
vegetable, made from roots gathered from
the forests of Georgia. It builds up wasted
constitutions, roots out these mineral
poisons from the blood, and brings health
and happiness into everv suflerer’s home.
Had you taken this you would have been a
well man long ago. It is this remedy
that has given me perfect health and keeps
me strong,” said the other man.

j Green & Co., in their report on cotton futures,
says: Unexpectedly Full inquiry to-day. Con-
I tract market has been active and buoyant with
I rates at oue time showing 11 to 12 points gain, j
The inspiration of most of the prominent buyers
I was somewhat uncertain and 111 a general way !
1 there appeared to be simply a desire to cover oil ,
! short line of options against the end of the year j
i and somewhat protracted holiday at the end. I
| Neither foreign or outside domestic advices re- :
I voided anything new of particularly a stiniula- |
ting character, and at the close there was barely |
I a steady feeling at the reaction of 3 to 4 points
from the highest.
