E.xuivfA, September.28.—Miss Em ma Fnlwoaaj of Alapaha, was visit ing in Enigma tho first of the week, the guest of Miss Minnie Gunn. Rev. P. II. Grumpier spent yester day In town. Misses Minnie Gunn and Fannie I.astmgcr, accompanied by tho lab' tor’s father and Hov. P. H. Grumpier went up to Cuthbert to-day to enter Andrew Female College for tho fall term. Afr. J. T.

Olio confessed tlie crime and said, “It was jess foolishness.” He now languishes in Herrien county jail. Miss Mattie Lningand the patrons of Enigma failed to make a contract and so site will not teach here. Site will leach at Pearson and I wish tier much success. Hhe mid tier sister, Annie, left for Pearson to-day. There lias been considerable sick ness around Enigma of late. Mr. Robert Dixon, of .Maoon coun ty, opened a school bore last Monday morning, I have not learned the number of pupils in attendance, but hope tho school will lie a success. He is a stranger in this suction. I hope lio may provo himself meritorious and build np a rousing big sehool.

As a mutter of course we know that tlie domoei-iltie party is in tlie majority; but tlie thing to do now is to see how big a majority vvu. can roll up, how Sloop we can snow under republicanism and third parlyisui in Georgia.

A JUMP IN COTTON. Lively Market Last Week—Itrlirlit Pros- peels for Farmers—It«rl*ov of tlie Henson. The cotton market was livelier on Wednesday of last week than It has been since the opening of the season, and tho buyers were wreathed In smites, such as have notTiecn noticed ih many days. Tlie demand for cotton was good, and sales were lively. Prices oponed Dial day at fl{ for good middling, flj for middling, III for low middling, a gain of i of a cent was recorded all down tho lino, the mar ket closing at 7 cents. Friday there was a slight drop, and the staplo sold at 6} cents. Saturday the prices advanced again and yesterday it sold at 7J cents. The season opened with a dull market and prices at 8 cents to 0j for middling, and prices hnvo gradually Increased. Cot ton men estimate.that tho present year’s crop'Is more thou ono-fourth short as compared with last year, and tills esti mate Is borne out by the receipts up- to date In 1801 tlio receipts up to this time wore something near 7,000 hales, and this year they are but little more than 4,000 bales. Last year the prices were about 1 cent higher than this year up to date, but on Deeomlier 2ft prices hod declined to ex actly what the quotations were Wednes day. Tlie outlook Is now much more on- cournging, and It is probubie prices will go higher and rcnch 71 or 8 cents. Farmers will lie benefited greatly by the advance, and If, as prophesied, tho C rlco goos up lo 8 cents, there will be a oom in business all over the south this winter. It will enable tho fanners to pay most of tlielr dobtB, and having raised their provisions at home this yoar, they will he In better condition than they hnvo been slnco the war.
