A HASH INTO ALABAMA. TRAVERSING A RICH COUNTRY ON THK WAY. En Route to Blakely Leary and Ar lington-The Livingston House- From Blakely to Columbia A Dangerous Ferry- Crawford House -The Central Rail Extension to Columbia The Bridge Next in Order-Columbia's Boom -New Stores-Alabama Iron Works-Cotton Receipts and Guano Traffic-Personal Columbia’s Out look. I left Macon in the midst of the excite ment of the Woolfolk trial, on a dismal day of rain and storm and bitter cold, eu route for Blakely. At Siuithville I dined at the McAfee Houses and thence took the train for Albany. At the moment of leaving I ■witnessed the narrow escape from death of an elderly gentleman. It seems he was talking with a lady on the Macon train when the Eufaula cars star ted off. Mistak ing them for those bound for Albany, he rushed out and managed to clamber on board. Then, discovering his error when the speed was fully la miles an hour, ho leaped from the train and, wonderful to re late, alighting squarely upon his feet, save a severe shock, sustained no injury. The old fellow, we doubt not, went on his way a "sadder but a wiser man.” The moral of the incident is this: Where so many trains leave at almost the same moment, as is the case in Smithvilie, conspicuous placards should announce the destination of each. BLAKELY. After a detention of only a few minutes at the Albany depot, the same train took its departure for Blakely at about 3 p. m. This branch of the “Central" is a combination road, with only one train per day having passenger coaches attached, and distributing and receiving freight all along the route. The rails on the track are old, necessitating a slow rate of speed, and this, with the fre quent and prolonged stops, makes the trip anything but pleasant. A RICH REGION. The country traversed abounds in lime and is one of the most productive portions of the State. Leary and Arlington are im portant cotton centres and do a large busi ness. The only drawback to them ,re the traditional chills, which will occasionally shake up the unacclimated. But quinine and blue pills are masters of the situation and the people seem contented and happy. It was long after dark when we reached Blakely and were most hospitably received and entertained at the LIVINGSTON HODSE. The proprietress, Mrs. Livingston, de servedly enjoys the lion’s share of public patronage. Her table is well kept, and the beds clean and comfortable. This fact the army of drummers fully recognize and utilize. The next morning was ushered in with leaden skies and a cold and driving rain, but your correspondent was forced to con tinue his journey. Fortunately he was able to procure a line turnout and spirited horse from Mr. E. L. Fryer, whose livery estab lishment is one of the best in Southwest Georgia, and, under the guidance of an ex pert "whip,” in two hours and ten minutes he was safely deposited on the banks of the Chattahoochee river, just opposite to Co lumbia. Our ride was through a magnificently timbered section, with the clay cropping out at the surface and the-soil productive and easily cultivated. The railroad will do wonders for it. The crossing at the river is both difficult and dangerous. After descending a precipi tous bluff with a gentle team you may be able to enter the "flat,” a frail and unsatis factory structure, which is filled up stream several hundred yards and then guided di agonally to the other shore. There you are bounced out and climb as best you can the steep ascent to the road above. With such wretched approaches no wonder that the people on both sides of the river are clam oring for early railway communication. There was no back or other vehicle in sight, and we were indebted to the courtesy of Dr. J. F. Min ter, a prominent physician, for a friendly lift in his buggy through the mud and water to the CRAWFORD HOUSE, whose hospitable portals were thrown wide open to welcome this disconsolate wayfarer. The hostle of mine host has been enlarged and much improved since our last visit, and his pretty daughters and gentle wife know full well bow to “welcome the coming and spedd the parting guest.” Thanks for their many kina attentions. Columbia's railroad. The long desired horn of railway commu nication with the outer world is about to be granted. That much talked of extension of the Georgia Central from Blakely is very nearly nn fait accompli. The writer in spected a large portion of the line, crossing it four times, and found everything in nn advanced state of preparation.” About two miles of the track have already Iwn cora pleted and the work of laying the steel rails is progressing steadily. The crosstios have also been duly distributed, and the trestles and culverts will soon be finished. In less than three months probably the iron will be down to the hanks of the” Chattahoochee. Here no further progress can be made until the erection of the bridge across the river. The citizens assert that an agreement was entered into with the authorities of the Cen tral railroad which provided that if the former would secure the right of way by purchase or otherwise from Blakely to the river, that organization would proceed to build and equip the road at once They now await with much anxiety the fulfillment of this compact. That the Central will do so as soon as the wilder freshets nro over and the river subsides into its normal channel cannot be doubted. Indeed, with the RAPID CHATTAHOOCHEE rolling between, and its frowning and pre cipitous banks to be surmounted, the whole enterprise would be a practical fa.lure with out the bridge. It is safe to assert thatuntii its completion the entire investment by all the parties concerned will he an absolute nullity. The swift-gliding steamers will continue to monopolize the carrying trade of the river. Let us hope, then, that tho bridge may be speedily built and quick transportation and healthy competition vouchsafed to the enterprising people of Columbia. PROGRESS OF THE TOWN. The building boom in Columbia has ex ceeded that of any year in its previous his tory. Many valuable and bona fide citi zens have also moved in. The place is fast beginning to assume the pro[xirtionß and appearance of a thriving young city. We notice among the recent improvements the advent of J. S. Ramsey & Cos., exten sive furniture dealers; the handsome gen eral store of John T. Davis. Jr., aud the establishment of W. P. MeGriff, who. by purchase, has acquired the sole control of the business and stocks of the two firms of Oakley & Cos. and W. P. MeGriff & Cos., aud is running one of the largest concerns in East Alabama. A great convenience to fhe citizens, too, is the nice oyster saloon of Frank Sangaree, where the juicy bivalves aro served in evory style. Travelers will l-oglad to learn, also, that Mr. J. M. Knowles has nearly completed a commodious livery and sale stable, and Is ready to accommodate passenger to and from the boat-, and all who may havo business in the country. Mr. R. It. Adams, the popular Sheriff, is again a Candidate for that office, and his friends affirm cannot be beaten. Among tho now industries of Columbia the ALABAMA IRON WORKS should not be forgotten. The proprietors, Messrs. Brantley & Thompson, are flrst elass machinists, aud the repairs of the K team engines, gins and mill machinery of "wide extent of country are done by them. *aey are skilled experts in this line of busi uewk. COTTON RECEIPTS AND GRAND SALES. Despite the fact that the cotton crop w § I cut off fully one-fourtli in this whole region ! l>y drought, the receipts of Columbia will ! exceed by nt, least 1.000 bales those of the last season, ami it is very generally conceded that it will not he long after the completion of the railroad before they will reach the figure of “ft,ooo. A single dealer in fertilizers, M. Cody. Hr., disposed of 000 tons last spring and tho total sales footed up over 3.000 tons. PERSONAL. W. C. Koonce, the popular and worthy postmaster, has been in office about 18 years and will doubtless hold the position as long as he desires it. Prof. M. -S. Smith, who had charge of the High School last year, has been a imitted to the bar and is a young man of much prom ise. Messrs. Walker & Espy are also prom inent lawyers. Mine host of the Crawford House is an old pressman and was connected with tho Macon Journal and Messenger under the veteran Bimri Rose from 1849 to 1353. He had previously, in 1843, been employed on the Atlanta Lnininaru, then conducted by Rev. Joseph Baker, of Liberty co., Georgia, and afterward was also the business man ager of the old Intelligencer. He has ever a warm place at the iugleside for the repre sentatives of his old craft. Time is up and we must close these Co lumbia notes. This is one of the best and most certain farming sections in the South. There is never anything like a total failure in the crops. A large wagon trade is concentrated here, which brings in the numerous productions of a wide extent of fertile territory. To its population we know of no town that does a larger business or has brighter prospects in the future. H. 11. J. THE SPHERE OF WOMAN. Ella Wheeler Wilcox Asks Whether It Is “at Home” or in Public. Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Philadelphia Press. According to my creed a woman's place is wherever circumstances beyond her control have placed her. If she feels a constant and never-ceasiag rebellion against her environments, and craves a change of conditions, the change will come. We may whine and complain at Fate all our lives without ever accom plishing anything. But the soul that looks steadily in the face of its desire, making no complaint, reeogniz s no ill-fortune, but de mands from life the thing it craves, and believes it will be given—that soul will ob tain its wish so sure as the sun shines. There are no circumstances which can overthrow or circumvent the passionate re solve of a noble, earnest soul. I believe we are only denied the things we crave in order to test” the strength of our desire. There are. no accidents of birth or fortune. A mighty intelligence directs it all, and grants to each soul its wish, if that soul never swerves from the intensity of desire. The reason so few of us obtain what we want is because so few of us are persistent and patient. If any woman is placed in a situation where she is deprived of the comforts and the appreciation so necessary to our happi ness, and she longs ardently enough to bet ter her condition, the way will be opened for her. I cannot understand how a woman who has been accorded that greatest of all gifts from heaven, a happy home life, can desire any career which interferes with it. The result of my observation does not lead me to believe that women who are sheltered with love aud protection and appreciation, do long for the plaudits of the world. A great deal is said mid written of the young girl or worshiped wife who neglects kind parents or a devoted husband to pur sue a careen. If you will take pains to in vestigate the unwritten history of such cases yon will find In almost every instance a skeleton whose rattling bones drove trat daughter or wife from her home into public life. MISERABLE HOME LIVES. If every man who takes upon himself the voluntary obligations of matrimony, per formed his whole duty as husband an<l fath er there would be fewer women before the public to-day. The girl or wife who has to tease, beg or pout in order to obtain a few dollars for her own use, naturally lies awake nights planning some method of earning money. I knew the daughter of a man whose riches were counted among the hundreds of thousands, and yet she was obliged to resort to petty ruses and humiliating schemes to get a dollar of pin money. She was allowed to run large bills, which her father scanned and anathematized item by item each month, but he (lid not consider the female members of his household competent to carry a purse. tV hen the daughter mu away and went on the stage as a third-rate actress, tho world was shocked that she should leave her elegant home and devoted parents for the glare of the footlights. I overheard a well-dressed and fine look ing mail recent.}’ in a railroad car scolding liis wife for an extravagant purchase. She showed him the sample of anew dress she had pureha ed. and asked with a timid look if he thought it was pretty. “How much dil you pay for it?” he asked, and her answer, given with a deprecating glance, brought forth such a growl ana sneer that the poor wife's pleasure in her ?urchase must have been instantly ruined. am quite sure I should have put the dress up at auction and presented Sir Growler with the proceeds of the sale, and then I would have joined a circus or a minstrel troupe, if I could find no better method of earning a dress for myself. Two women, who were working outside cf homes for a livelihood, told me recently, with teal's in their eyes, that they would consider themselves the most blast of mor tals to be shut within the walls of some bumble cottage, where only faint echoes from the world could reach them. Both women were did veil from their homes by the skeleton of poverty. And yet I have heard one of these women commented on severely as “a bold seeker after notoriety.” She is simply doing what she is compelled to do to keep the wolf from the door. EXCEPTIONAL CAREERS. There is occasionally bom into the world a woman who e whole nature rushes like the tide of a mighty ocean toward the shore of some especial career. Rosa Bonheur was one of these, the first Mi's. Siddons was another, Anna Dick nsoit was another. In each of these women the force of her pecu liar genius was so great that no perfection of home life, no opulence of wealth could have kept her from fulfilling her destiny. They did not choose a career, a coreor-chose them. Many other names could lie added to the list, yet such richly and reraai ka blv dowered women are the exception. The rule is that women who puisne the hard path of a public career, which deprive* them of a quiet domestic life, are women who have lwen driven iuto it by stern ne cessity. To lie queen of a happy home, loved and appreciated by a kind hushand and little children, to live only for their approbation and respect, surely this is the grandest ami truest, sphere for woman. It is the only gen uin j happiness which earth affords, all else is a mere imitation, in no reform can women do a work so beneficial to mankind as Increasing the number of happy homes in the land. But this work is not given every woman to do. Good husbands, who will love, respect, appreciate and supiiort their wives and daug lei's do not tana on every thres hold ready to lead all women into this earthly paradise. And, therefore, it is every woman's duty to be prepared to meet the world single-handed. If I were blessed with a daughter I should teach her some method of self-sup port as religiously a* I should teach her to love God. But my daily prayer would lie that she might never go forth from the shelter of the parental roof, save as tlip queen of a good husband’s home.
