Pavsmant Paragraphs aid Town Talk Takoa Down by an Idle Reporter. Wo bnvo seven daily trains from Columbus to Atlanta, leaving at different times, and enabling our business me a to go and return the same day and stay in Atlanta five or six hoars. Bilk ham seem to be all the rage In some tow as. I was over at Opelika yesterday and counted twenty-three in the office of the Opelika house, and nobody made any remark about “bees swarming" or "cows going dry." The loved and venerable Judge B. F. Coleman, who has been in feeble health some time, is* bet ter, being able to sit up a little yesterday. Judge Coleman is a man loved by all and is a special favorite of the children. Every one would be glad to know of his recovery. On Saturday evenings the streets about the market house are one mottled mass of moving humanity. The market is not open on Sunday and supplies for that day are provided on the previous evening. There is great bustle and confusion am mg the negroes as they vie with each other as to who can create most noise In making their purchases. And while the negro has been mentioned. I notice an unusually large number loafing about town with no visible means of support. I sup pose they cam.) from the work on new railroads and extensions. It is net improbable that the grand jury, which convenes next inonih, will make it warm for some of thorn. Until then, however, it would be well to look to your houses, for "ye know not when the thief cometh.” By the way, the crowds passing through that place on their way to the Piedmont exposition is almost incredible. Many no doubt go to see the various exhibits and the enterprising south ern city of Atlanta, but by far the greater p' rtion w iiit to shake the hand of honest Cleveland. A large crowd leave here for Atlanta this morning, ujI to see the exhibits, nor Atlanta, nor Cleve land, but to see Mrs. Cleveland. One of our mopt prominent clothing men sold yesterday over $1100 worth of goods. And that reminds me that an Atlanta man was here a few days ago and complained that he could never •ell Columbus any goods. A citizen very readily explained the difficulty. He said: "Oh, no, At lanta Is too small a town for that; you can’t sell a* goods, but our men go to Atlanta and sell Urge bills." And it is quite true. Columbus is complimented highly on her ex hibit at the exposition. The taste displayed in the arrangement of the exhibit reflects credit on the raauager. One thing noticeable, to nil who have passod through Opelika within the last twenty-five years, is the picture of the "old blind man" as be stands about the trains selling papers and refreshments to the travelers. In the picture he stands natural a • life, saying, "Morn ing's paper! Columbus Enquirer, Atlanta Con stitution, Montgomery Advertiser. Parched pea nuts, hard biled eggs, hot coffee, two chickens and half a biscuit for a quarter. Come right along and help the blind man." The officers of the court of the Chattahooohee circuit have held the fall term of Talbot. Chatta hooohee and Harris. Court will convene at Buena Vista the fburth Monday aod after that comes Muscogee court secoud Monday in No vember. Bereral violators of the law have been sentenced to pay the penalty, and others still are behind the bars waiting to know their fate. Judge Smith and Solicitor Worrill are efficient officers, frilly quel fled for the place they hold, aud ar« making even more friends in their rounds. A farmer attracted the attention of a portion of the city the other day by a queer incident. On the rear end of his wagon as ho drove down the s'reet perched a flue rooster, perfectly contented and looking as if he was monarch of all ho sur veyed. When questioned about it the former stated that the chicken roosted on the wagon the previous night and refused to be disturbed at so early an hour as the farmer wanted his wagon, and so lode to tdwn. I admire inde pendence, oven in a Brahma rooster. Sonic predicted that the Piedmont exposition would take the wind out of the sails of the slate foir, but Macou is uever dead to her own interest and that of the state People from all parts of the state will flock there In crowds, and Macon will have such crowds of men and women as she has never seen before. Columbus, especially, will be on hand to look with latriotio love into the true eyes and heart of her old chieftalu, Hon Jefferson Davis. It may be the last time wo will ever see the grand old man. Let us all go. Miss Winnie is also quite an attraction.

Miss Lou Calhoun received a telegram yester day from Florida announcing the dangerous ill- mess of her brother, Mr J. 0. Calhoun, at his home near Tampa. Miss Calhoun will leave for tti e bedside of her brother this morning Rarriagi at Lumpkin. Mr. J. II. Carter, of Florence, and Miss High- lower, of Lumpkin, will be married at Lumpkin at 1 o'clock this afrernoon. Immediately after Uie ceremony the happy couple will leave for Atlanta to attend the Piedmont Exposition. The Western Railroad. Commencing this morning the Western rail- There is a push about the business of Colum bus that is noticeable in few other southern cities, The merchants have learned to pierce, and the young men and boys seem to have an ambition to he iu >re than a mere “driftwood floating on a waveless tide." Strangers remark thethnftamlenteriri.se on entering the city. Men from other places, who come here, soou dtch the spirit ami move with the rest. A visitor said the other day: “Columbus lias a great frituro. She is on no so-called 'boom,' hut is growing rapidly and permanently. I had rather own property in Colum bus t o-o ay than any southern city." The man is one of dne sense and knows 1 what he hois talking about. Columbus has be- road of Alabama made a change in their ^ uu t , spread and next census will tell her real schedule. The exposition, or early train, which population. ban been leaving this city at 4:50 a. m., now leaves ! Lxjm D. more than an hour later, or at 0 a m., and I reaches Atlanta at 10:35 a. m.; about five minutes I later than by the former schedule. This is much ; nu re convenient to the traveling public.

Such linen grows around you every day. Get up some new humbug to try and turn the crowds from GRAY’S. Cotton napkin cloth is not sold by us for all linen table damask. Will the trade stand the humbug? You might as well advertise pillow case cotton for 12-4 Sheeting or Black Cashmere as waterproof. As was expected GRAY capped the fly trap. They have not the numerous bargains to name. Hence in despair, like the drowning man they had to grab at one—only one- straw. Change your colors. Others got left on the red flag. GRAY does not take one article, the market price of which everybody knows, and sell it away below cost and put three profits on the next article the customer buys.

So the tidal wave of human ity flows gradually towards headquarters. (GRAY'S new store, 1045 Broad street.) THIS great slaughter is no panorama, but a realistic show of unapproachable inducements. Special attention called to our show windows. MUSIC in the Air. The old folks smile, the young folks laugh and the little ones murmur when they hear the grand chorus by all competitors, “ When will GRAY stop cut ting the prices?” A HINT! Tis a triumph of push and square dealing. ’Tis a vic tory won by magnetism of low prices and honor bright goods. ’Tis business, Justice, dealt out unsparingly to all classes by the indefatigable pushers that has brought about such a pros perous termination.
