Immediately upon the receipt of the
news at the Enquirer-Sun office of the
death of Hoi. Jefferson Davis yesterday
morning, information was conveyed to
the Mayor of the city, in order that
action might be taken by this comm unity,
expressive of the feelings of our people.
Mayor Grimes being confined to his home
by India pocitiou, a call was issued by
Mayor pro tem W. H. Brannon for a meet
ing at the Public Library rooms at half-
past three o’clock.
At the appointed hour a large number
of citizens gathered at the rooms when, on
motion of Captain J. J. Slade, Colonel F.
G. Wilkins was requested to take the
Chair and Mr. L. H Chappell to act as
Secretary,
Oh taking the chair Colonel Wilkins
paid an eloquent and feeling tribute to the
memoty of the Hon. Jefferson Davis, and
stated that the object of this meeting was
to arrange for a subsequent meeting in
which all our people could take part.
Amotion that the meeting adjourn to
meet at half past seven o’clock at the
opera house was offered by Mr. M. Joseph,
and carried. At this juncture a number
of gentlemen entered the hail, when Judge
Brannon, after stating how the cal! for the
meeting originated, said that some promt
neut citizens who had been apprized of
the event, in the forenoon, had partially
prepared some action whicn might meet
the views of the meeting, and he would
move the appointment of a committee of
seven to retire and draft suitable resolu
tions.
The chair stated that if the mover of the
resolution adjourning to the opera house
would consent to a reconsideration of that
action, then the committee could be ap
pointed, whereupon Mr. Joseph moved a
reconsideration, which was carried.
The motion of Judge Brannon for the
appointment of a committee was then pat
and adopted.
The chair appointed the following com
mittee:
L C. Levy, B. H. Richardson, Porter
Ingram, C A. Redd, L. F. Garrard, John
Peahody, W. A. Little.
The committee retired and after a short
absence reappeared and through their
chairman presented the following pream
ble and resolutions:
Whereas, information having reached us
of the death of our great chieftain and
most honored representative, and the citi
ng of Columbus being here together in
mass meeting assembled in reverence of
the coca; ion, be it
Resolved, That in the death of onr be
loved and venerated ex President, Jefferson
Davis, an iliustrious and immortal career
has been brought to a glorious close, in
itself, a bulwark and palladium of consti
tutional liberty and free government; that
as the hero, no less than the martyr, of
great aud indestructible principles; as
statesman, citizen, and soldier, his life was
the chrystaiizstiou of principle, of honor,
of virtue, of truth; loyal even unto death,
to his God, his people, and hia country,
his life will <*ver be a glory to ourselves
and a priceless heritage to cur posterity.
Resolved, That bis devotion and self-
sacrifice upon the battle-fields of Mexico in
the service of our common country, was
not more heroic and sincere, nor more sn
during and beneficial in its results, than
was his defense and maintainance in the
hails of Congress and as President of the
Confederate States of those principles
upon which alone are founded the integ
rity of republican institutions, and the
recognition of which, through his instru
mentality, by that high tribunal, the Su
preme Cocrt of the United States, has ren
dered possible the perpetuation of our
Union.
Resolved, Honoring him while living,
we mourn him deRd, while we rejoice in
the undying lustre of that noble fame he
has bequeathed to us—a rich legacy be
yond ali price.
Resolved, That our hearts go forth in
the fullness of a yearning sympathy to his
family with whom the whole South mourn
in tbtir great sorrow—and that the Mayor
be r< quested to < xpress these sentiments
in a telegram to Mrs. Davis.
Resolved, That in token of onr universal
love and respect, upon the day fixed for
his burial iu the bosom of the South, which
he so well loved and served—all business
l>e suspended in onr midst, our city be
draped in mourning, our bells tolled, and

The little six figure puzzle advertised by Chan
cellor & Pearce some days ago, ai>d appearing on
front page of this paper, is only second in amuse
ment and interest to the famous “15 block puz
zle.” Thi3 firm expected possibly to receive a
limited number of answers and few, if any, cor
rect. But such is aot the case, for it has engaged
the time of two clerks to receive, open and file
the answers, to say nothing of necessitating a
special box and mail basket at the postoffice,
Letters date from New York, New Orleans, Troy,
Macon, Griffin, Albany, Opelika, Greenville, and
nearly every town adjacent has sent in a solu
tion, numbering in all nearly a thousand. Not
only in our city, but another, did a merchant
offer prizes for the solution, not knowing it him
self, and fearing the result, pnblished the first as
being correct. These attempted exposures only
advertised Chancellor & Pearce the more. These
little figures have agitated the brain of the lead
ing bookkeepers, bankers, school teachers, law
yers, arithmaticians, merchants, wife, mother,
daughter and school boy alike. It is needless to
say it can be done. We have seen the eolation.
Quite a number have solved it correctly, so we
are informed by Chancellor & Pearce, and they
will positively deliver the premiums on Decem
ber 24, at same time publish the correct solution.

DISGUSTED PROHIBITIONISTS.
They Want a Detective Sent to Dooly
County.
Atlanta, Dec. 6.—[Special.]—Attorney-
Generai Anderson has received a commu
nication signed by a number of citizens of
Dooly county complaining of the open
and flagrant violation of the prohibition
law in portions of that county. They
assert that there was no trouble in
enforcing the law up to the
time of the construction of the
Georgia Southern and Florida railroad.
Since chat time the law has been constant
ly violated. The signers of the communi
cation declare that appeal to the Sheriff
and other county officers avails nothing,
and the Attorney-General is requested to
send to D^oly immediately a fearless de
tective who will do his duty, and sufficient
evidence will be furnished him to
convict the parties who are selling
whisky. There are no detectives con
nected with the Attorney General’s office,
and that official has no authority in the
premises.
Dooly’s experience with prohibition
seems to be abont the same as that of other
places where it has been tried. It is rather
difficult to enforce it.
