Phenix City, Columbus’ Alabama sister
city, “in name If not in population,” con
tinues to improve. You no longer see
vacant Jots, sleeping land-owners and lazy
merchants. Property is advancing each
day, and what could be bought for $500
three years ago is now worth $2,500. The
city is advancing very rapidly, and with a
few more years of steady improvement it
will rank among the first cities of Alabama.
It will, and mast have, more capital. How
are we to get it ? you will ask. Form a
company, invite capital, give good induce
ments like other cities, and the time is not
far distant when the west side of the Chat
tahoochee river will be a line of manufac
tories like Columbus.
I MEAN TO MOTE THINGS,
Day and night, ont of my store to get
your change and get room for my stock
that’s coming in all the while. Prints,
calicoes, jeans, flannels, factory checks (for
dresses), ladies’ and gents’ underwear,
hose and half-hose, stockings and half
stockings, right and left stockings, vinne-
gar, honey, syrup, butter, lard, flour,
bacon, dry goods and groceries. I deal in
all both on ’em, and Pll sell you if you
poke your nose in at the door. See if I
don’t. Respectfully,

at Seale last week, reports that a majority

tact, even in the extreme southern por
tion of the county, were in favor of mov
ing the county site to Girard.
Chairman Tucker asks us to inform the
public that the mass meeting which was
to be held Monday night has been post
poned on account of the inability of the
committee to report on charter. The com
mittee will exert every effort to complete
their work aJ, an early day, and due notice
of the meeting will be given.
A large number of citizens assembled in
Gibson’s Hall Friday night, in pursuance
of adjournment at a previous meeting, to
further consider the practicability of the
removal of the county site of Russell
county to Girard. John W. Knowles was
made chairman, and John R. Garrert sec
retary of the meeting. The sense of the
meeting was taken by vote on the ques
tions of removal of or asking for the hold
ing of one week of the Circuit Court in
Girard and the balance of the session at
the present county site. The vote was
unanimous for removal. On mo
tion, a committee consisting of
J. R. Garrett, D. M. Griswold and
C. W. Fields was then appointed to
prepare petitions to he circulated in each
beat in the county asking the Legislature
to pass an act authorizing a vote by the
people on the question of removal. Cash
funds were raised on the spot to defray
any expense which the committee might
incur in printing and circulating the peti
tions. A finance committee, consisting of
Mr. Allen, late of Chattanooga; T. E.
Golden, J. S. Roberts, L. M. Chalmers,
R. P. Somerkamp and J. W. Knowles,
were then appointed. The committee
were instructed to raise funds sufficient to
meet any and all expenses which might
arise in the carrying out of the objects of
the meeting, and to solicit voluntary sub
scriptions for the erection of a court
house.
The meeting of the finance committee
was made subject to the call of the peti
tion committee. It was stated by several
of the speakers, who had attended Circuit
Court during the week, that they felt
greatly encouraged in the movement after
tniflgliug with the citizens from all parts
of the county,
The meeting adjourned subject to the
call pf the petition committee.

Crawfordville Democrat: Last Monday,
Mr. Ed. Chapman brought to our office
the tallest stalk of cotton we ever saw. It
measured 10 feet and 2 inches. This cot
ton was grown by Mr. Chapman, and on
Talliaferro county soil. This is a good
evidence that it is folly in any young man
to go West in search of rich soil, when it
can be found right here. *
Willie Singleton, a hack driver at Ma
con, was hanged by a party of determined
men near Macon Friday night. Singleton
was charged with having attempted to
commit a nameless crime upon the person
of a young country girl, who was placed in
his charge at the depot with instructions
to carry her to the home of relatives. Few
particulars of the lynching are known. A
placard on the body of Singleton bore this
inscription: “Our women are protected.
They must be safe, and they shall be
safe.”
Americus Times : Joe Fletcher, one of
the colored hackmen employed at Prince
Bros.’ stables, is an honest man. A few
nights ago a gentleman from one of the
small towns near Americus was among
Joe’s passengers, and in settling his bill he
gave the hackman what he supposed was a
silver dollar and a 25-cent piece and went
on his way. On examining the money a
little later Joe discovered that the sup
posed silver dollar was a twenty dollar
gold piece. Fortunately he happened to
know the name of his late passenger and
promptly returned the money to him.

The Alliance in Coffee county has taken
action on the liquor question. Editor
Daniel Swanner comments upon it in the
News as follows: “One of the grandest
resolu ions offered in the Alliance during
this session touched upon the immorality
of our citizens, and, after a long and warm
deb ate upon the subject, it was requested
by a resolution praying our representative
to stand ready to fight the repealing of any
liquor law that will burden the people
more than at present. The prevailing
opinion was to commence at home and
pledge every member of the Alliance not
to suffer his name to be placed upon an
other petition for any man to sell intoxi
cants to the people.”
Mr. John B. Raney, of Slough heat,
brought to the Athens Courier office last

He was a very live fellow, says the Courier,
and ma ie good use of his one leg and
needed no crutches to get around on. He
could hop along and stop w here he pleased
and stand as erect as any chick you ever
saw with two legs. It was no trouble for
him to pick crumbs from the floor stand
ing on his one leg, which come squarely
under its body, making it rest on a firm
balance. We have placed it among our .
collection of curiosities, and when we
have secured a full collection we are going
to start out with the “devil” in charge and

Mmmn la Oust Ctttaa.
Rot the least among the various of
fenses that meet the eye, and seldom
with any palliating incidents,'are the
signs of all kinds that disfigure most of
the buildings in the business districts.
A plain signboard, giving the name of
the company or individual proprietor
and the nature of the business, is unob
jectionable, however large, if set np
against the wall, over the entrance or at
the threshhold. The largest ooncems in
the city have, however, abandoned even
these, and are content to use a small
metal plate for their names.
Bat the popular idea in signs seems to
run to as great a display as possible, and
in its indulgence taste and safety are
sacrificed. What can be more hideous
than those great serial wire structures
that project from the tope of buildings
or are hong across the streets? They are
dangerous, too, as experience has shown.
Then there are those danling monstrosi
ties which, in colored glass, call the at
tention of the passerby to the game of
billiards and other pastimes. Some of
the porticos which project over the
whole sidewalk are utilized for similar
purposes.
Exaggerated hats, bonnets, clocks,
mortars, saws and other symbols of the
merchandise for sale within the stores
flaunt before the gase at every turn.
Most of these are illegal, as the law al
lows but three feet nearest the building
for the display of signs and merchandise,
and this is availed in many trades for
the profit it will bring, not only to them
selves, but in some cases by compensa
tion from fruit venders or other small
trades not connected with the regular
occupations.—America.
Valuable Sand Lots.
Accident in making what afterward
turn out to be good investments is always
a favorite theme for discussion. An in
stance was cited where a young man
went to Tacoma on a flying visit in the
early days of the place, when the prin
cipal part of the town was its name.
He was there only a few hours, but in
that time was induced to buy several
lots for almost nothing. Those lots
made a fortune for him so suddenly that
he could hardly realize that it could be
possible.
Mark Sheldon, the wealthy real estate
owner of San Francisco, made his fort
une out of a bad debt He had grown
rich and poor in several ventures, and
when hard pressed once tried to collect
all the money that was due him. One
debtor was unable to give him a cent,
but compromised his debt by hanging
over to Mr. Sheldon some sand lots in
what is now Market street, San Fran
cisco.
Sand lots were not very valuable m
those days, and Mr. Sheldon found no
opportunity to dispose of his until he
saw that he might make a pretty sum of
them. So he held on to them, and there
is no more valuable real estate in the
Golden Gate city today than Mark Shel
don’s Market 6treet property.— New

If Men’s Muscles Were Like Jane Bag’s.
A gentleman residing on the west side
noticed a very large June bug flying
around his piazza and proceeded to cap
ture it. He placed the captive under a
heavy glass tumbler which rested on a
newspaper, expecting to examine the jn-
sect a little later in the evening wLen he
had leisure.
On returning to the table where he had
placed the bug, some half hour later, he
found that it had moved the tumbler
nearly a foot by placing its head against
the side of the glass and pushing it along.
In order to be certain that the glass had
been moved by the captive, he carefully
marked its position on the newspapei
with a pencil, and at the expiration oi
another quarter of an hour found it had
been moved nearly five inches. As the
tumbler weighed at least fifty times a.;
much as the hug, the ease with which it
was moved around on the paper wa6 m
source of considerable astonishment.
The June bug was less than an inch in
length, and was restored to liberty in
view of the exhibition it had given of its
strength. __
The story is vouched for by several
witnesses, who were called in to see the
insect as it was pushing the glass along

The Rosetta Stone.
The “Rosetta Stone,” a famous Egyp
tian curiosity now in the British Muse
um, was discovered in the year 1799 by
M. Boussard, a French explorer, f ear
Rosetta, a seaport of lower Egypt. It is
of black basalt, about forty inches long
and thirty inches wide, with three en
graved inscriptions upon its surface.
The first of these is in Greek, the second
a conglomeration of hieroglyphics, the
third in enchorial writing, a system used
by the Egyptians in recording every day
matters. After years of laborious re
search the savants of Europe ascertain
ed that the three inscriptions were three

Hemp That Will Not Make Twine.

said that the native hemp of the Can

is not likely to prove a success as a tex
tile fiber, at least for cordage or twines.
It appears that he is now investigating a
