Mention was made in a special telegram from Atlanta published in the Enquiheb- M n yesterday of the fact that Fulton Su- i i ior Court had granted a temporary re- :raining order to estop the Comptroller- i,, in ral trom advertising for sale property of i lie Columbus Southern railroad for the payment of county taxes levied under the Glt-nn hill. I In- Columbus Southern is fighting the law on the grounds that it is unconstitu tional, claiming that the taxes levied under the hill are not uniform. The case will probably come up for a hearing in Atlanta in about ten days. Capt. W. A. Little, of tin's city, will rep’esent the Columbus southern. l'he Georgia Midland road raised the point as to Ihe constitutionality of the (, .1111 bill some time ago, and have insti- tut* d proceedings together with the At lanta and Florida, the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, the Macon and li rniingham, the Georgia Southern and Fmrida, and perh ps other roads. This case will come up later on. “Tiie Old Homestead.”—From what has been so generously said by the pres? of the country at large, it seems safe to as sume, that the event of this season of sums ment will be Denman Thompson’s New England play, to be presented on Monday evening at the opera house. l'he company comprises twenty-eight people, selected by Denman Thompson, ami are under his supervision. Every e(furl has been put forward to make this organization perfect, artistically, and in appointments, and the general verdict s'-i iiis to endorse it as a production equal to that of the origlual, which is now play ing its fourth year in New York city. Of the piece, it has been said that all the temperance lecturers and evangelists have nut accomplished as much good during the past three years, and hardly a patron leaves the theatre without just about that sort of a conviction. It abounds in quaint humor, rugged honesty of character, and is as a feast of mirth and wholesome en- jovrnent. It teaches a good moral lesson, intro duces us to the noblest and simplest of characters, carries one away from city life and incidental cares and worries, and sends its auditors back to their homes with bet ter thoughts of the stage in particular, and of mankind in general. The plot of the piece is familiar to all lovers of pure drama, and a play so purely American must always he of interest to Americans. Mr. Thompson’s long con tract in New York City will prevent his traveling through the country again, and in view of this fact, he has endeavored to make his traveling organization a standard one in every respect. Odd Fellows Growing in Strength. —Chattahoochee Encampment No. 4, met Friday night last and held an election of officers with the following result: T. L. Gruzard, C. P. K. S. MoEachern, II. P. Geo. O. Kerry, S. W. Alfred Kerry, J. W, C. L. Torbet, Scribe, and Treasurer. '1 his Encampment is in a most flatter ing condition financially and in the at tendance, and in the excellent work that is done all its members have, just cause to feel proud. Chattahoochee claims to be the best working Camp in the Slate, and every meeting adds to her mem bership good material. There are at present eight of the best young men of the city on their way through. The ver dict of all who finish the journey is that “it is the best thing they ever saw.” Next meeting second Friday in January, when the installation of officers will take place, and the appointed officers be named. Colored Citizens to Celebrate.— The. colored people of Columbus have de cided to celebrate the 28th anniversary of Emancipation next Thursday, January 1, 1891. A committee of arangements com posed of twenty-three colored citizens, with VV. E. Terry, the well known barber, as chairman, has been appointed. It is proposed that the celebration be on a very large scale, and the committee takes occa sion to state that nothing of a boisterous or disorderly character will be allowed. The procession will form on First avenue, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, with Jack Holt, O. E. Coen and S. S. Moses as marshals. Twenty different col ored organizations and societies have been invited to take pait in the parade. The exercises will be held at St. Jaine3 A. M. E. church. An Exquisite Picture Inspected.— Many in Columbus can recall the beauti ful Rose Hill home of Mr. James C. Cook, :is it stood in the “past,” with its exten sive flower garden, ornamental green house, summer house, lovely trees, shrubs and magnificent hedges. The handsome grounds have been transferred to porce lain, the handiwork of Miss Annie Kelle Redd, and as a specimen of art is quite pretty and admired by all who have seen it. This once picturesque spot of fifteen acres is now a port ion of the annex, and completely met amorphosed by recent improvements. The entire work is highly creditable to the gifted artist. Death of Mbs. Elizabeth Putnam. — I he death of Mrs. Elizabeth A. Putnam tork place at the residence of her son-in- law, Mr. W. T. Woolfolk, corner Tenth avriiue and Thirteenth street, at 11:20 o'clock vesterday morning, after an illness often days with pneumonia. The de- ■ ised was seventy-two years of age, and tin* widow of the late Mr. A. J. Putnam, whose death occurred about a year ago. 8lit was a noble Christian woman and a consistent member of the Methodist church. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Kate Jones and Mrs. Warren Woolfolk. A notice of the funeral appears elsewhere. Services at St. Luke Today.—The services at St. Luke this morning will be of special interest. The new male Quar tette iias prepared |a fine voluntary, which will be much enjoyed. The pastor will preach a sermon adapted to the season mingling Christmas thoughts with those suited to the New Year. The members of the church are specially urged to be pres ent. as the pastor wishes to address them on important matters connected with the next year’s work. Card of Thanks.—The Sisters of Mercy return thanks to Mr. C. F. Springer for the use of the opera house; to Mr. and Mrs. Kyington. the kind, courteous man agers of the Evening Ledger; to the editor of the Enquirer-Sun; to Messrs. Theo M. Foil y, George Kurrus, T. A. Lewis and to all who kindly contributed in making the late enterta nrnent enjoyable. ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA SUS DAY MORNING, DECEMBER 28, 1890. BETWEEN BITES AT BREAKFAST. little items of news which will serve as appetizers. —Fine shad are now in the market. —The New Year’s turkey has only a few more days to live. —The market is well supplied with choice, juicy bivalves. —The mercury took a tumble last night and at 11 o'clock stood at 42. —Be careful this weather or old pneu monia will strike you. —The coldest weatlipr of the season is predicted for the present week. —Florida oranges are abundant, but command good prices in this market. ^ —Master Jos. E. Webster celebrated Christmas by donning his first pair of pants. The county court house was a quiet place yesterday, nothing of interest trans piring in court circles. —Lovers of game are looking for some good veinson in the market, where are the mighty deer hunters. —The New Year’s cards at the book stores are quite attractive, and a good many novelties are shown this season. —Nimrods who Lave been scouring the woods report that there is an abundance of small game in this vicinity. —Merchants who advertised in the En quirer-Sun report that their holiday goods went like hot cakes. There is nothing like printer’s ink. —Only one transfer of real estate was recorded in the Clerk’s office yesterday. 1 he sale was a lot on East Highlands by the Muscogee Real Estate Company to Mrs. Elia England for $500. —Parties indebted to the Enquirer- Sun for subscription for the year about closing, who desire to have the paper con tinued them, should settle their accounts before the first of the year. —The only candidate announced for the vacant aldermanic place in the Fifth ward is Capt. W. R. Moore, and it now seems likely that he will have no opposi tion. The election takes place Monday week. — Rev. J. W. Domingoes, thenew pastor of St. Paul church, arrived by a late train last night and will preach at St. Paul morning and evening today. It is likely that large congregations will go out to hear the new pastor. —The Primrose & West minstrel troup is said to be the finest attraction of the kind that has visited the South this sea son. This company will give a perform ance at Springer Opera House next Wed nesday evening. —Very few commercial travelers have visited the city since the beginning of the holidays, and the hotel arrivals have not been so heavy. The “drummers” will be here in full force this week. —Visitors from other cities in the State express surprise that the restaurants here charge more for game than any other city in Georgia. Quail on toast is just double what it is in Savannah or Atlanta. —The good order which has prevailed in Columbus since the beginning of the holi days continued through yesterday and last night, and very few cases were reported at police headquarters, none of these being of a serious nature. —Ths proposition now being considered by the council, to place all saloons on the same looting, by compelling the proprietors to do away with screens, and keep their saloons exposed on the street, appears to have considerable favor. —The passenger train from Macon was an hour and a half late yesterday. The delay was caused by an accident to a freight train near Byron. The track was soon cleared and trains ran as usual. The delay was the chief damage resulting from the accident. —A little advertisement of a want in the cheap column of the Enquirer-Sun often brings from ten to fifteen answers to this office in a day, and yet some people think that advertising in the cheap column doesn’t pay. Right there they make a mis^tke. Try it and see. —An important meeting of the directors of the Columbus Koard of Trade will be held at the Library rooms at 7:30 o’clock Tuesday night, for the purpose of taking action in reference to the proposed ban quet and other matters of general interest. A full meeting is desired. —Columbus has not felt the money stringency as much as most cities. The success of the late Exposition had a good deal to do with this. It is estimated that the big show left something like half a million dollars in Columbus, and this of itself was a pretty big drop in the bucket, and made small change more plentiful than it otherwise would have been. —The confectioners, jewelers, grocers and all other merchants engaged in the holiday trade in Columbus, say that the business of the week just closed, was un precedented in the history of Columbus. On Christmas eve the rush was heavy all day, and considerable business was done after dark, and a look into the stores which carried toys and confectioneries would have shown a very much depleted stock and empty shelves. The Columbus warehouses now have over 20,000 bales of cotton in stock. This cotton represents about $800,000, and much of it is still owned by the farmers. It is believed by many that the cotton market will improve after the 1st of Janu ary and money matters become easier. Eight hundred thousand dollars turned loose in Columbus would brighten things up considerably. The city council will meet at 7:30 o’clock Monday night. The main business of the ineetiug will be the consideration of the ordinance fixing liquor and dray license. The matter is in the hands of a committee from council, but this com mittee bas not agreed upon an ordinance ami it is possible that a majority and minority report may be submitted to the council at its meeting Monday night. It is understood that the committee has agreed upon an ordinance, with the exception of one section. This section provides that no screens or blinds be allowed to shut out the interior of bar-rooms from public view. If you care to read real interesting books, get Bel Anie, price $1.50.

What is it that makes women more smiliDg and happy looking than men? We meet them on the cars, on the streets, in the country, by the seashore, alwavs smiling, teeth a glistening, eyes a dancin'". Ah! the secret is they aim to please. It is an effoit in many instances for them to smile, and were it not for a desire to look pleasing and pretty many would “never smile again.” Why? Because in a large majority of instances they don’t feel like smiling. They feel more like erving. With their nervous aches, weakness' and bearing down pains, life to them is a bur den. \\ hat a gold-find to many a phy sician is a rich sick woman. Why snonld he aim to cure her and deny himself the pleasure of presenting his bills with the usnal regularity. It seems from the fol lowing, that the surest and cheapest way for invalid women to regain health and strength is by using Botanic Blood (B. B. B ) V Mrs. J. A. White, 340 Wythe street, Petersburg, Va., writes: “I have used B. B. B. with happy resqlts, and others have taken it at my advice and are delighted with its curative results.” J. N. Gregory, Butler Postoffice, S. C., writes: “My wife had been under the treatment of several good physicians, but continued in poor health, so I bought four bottles of Botanic Blood Balm, and it did her more good than those doctors had done her in ten years. She is now doing her own washing, a thing she had not been able to do for four years.” Miivhi! stove?!! Very cheap for cash, also sold on installment* very low at H. F Evekett’s, 1111 Broad street.
