HAII,HOAD HUMORS, Railway News of More or Less Local Interest* A SCHEME THAT WILL HABDI.r PAN OUT. Atlanta, G a ., Oct 37.—A movement is on foot that is fraught with great interest to the people of the south, and especially to those of Georgia, which state is, more thau any other, effected by the Richmond Terminal deal. It is stated that arrangements nro.in prog ress for th* purpose of holding in Atlanta about January 1st, an interstate convention composed of representative men from every stnto traversed by the, consolidated lines, witli a view to forming in each ot those states stock companies of enormous capital for tho purpose of building in connection with each other, lines that will iimke the principal cities independent of the Richmond Terminal. The spirit of opposition to monopoly is running high in the south and it is said that millions of dollars In small subscriptions osu be quickly raised. The plan is that each state stock company shall own and control its several lines of railway, and that several companies shall op erate their trains in connection with each other. It appears that the people, and espe¬ cially business men, do not propose to allow themselves to remain at the mercy of a great monopoly. II SAIII.IOUTS. The Savannah, Griffin and Nortli Alabama railroad case is postponed until next Friday, tho 2d ol Novvembcr on account of the una voidable absence [of ,Hon. Clifford Anderson. Rumors of an internecine war among the new owners of the Georgia Central are al_ ready rife. A powerful Raoul faction is re¬ ported to he at work to reinstate the Cen¬ tral’s former president in January and oust Gen. Alexander. Swann, the partner of John II. Inman, is astr»ng friend of Raoul and will support him. It is said that the express office at Griffin will soon be moved into new quarters to be provided either by the express company or the railroad, the present room being needed for u baggage room, What the railroail should do is to build a new and commodious union depot at the Newton lumber yard cor¬ ner, with room for all departments; put a shed over the trains and move the freight depot to the other end of the lot. This would be bettor for the railroads and for Griffin. —---4AW------- Catarrh originates in scrofulous taint Hood’s Sarsaparilla purifies the blood, and Urns permanently cures catarrh. 7 Darkness and Mud. “Sweetness and light" is the somewhat dandiacal phrase with which live Sate Matthew Arnold garnished his writings and upou which he dwelt with what many consid¬ ered too frequent iteration ; yctail must ac¬ knowledge that without sweetness and light life would be an existence devoid of pleasure and full of oppression in mind and body. It would he like a night scene on the streets of Griffin. If the distinguished English man of letters lived in Griffin in this day and generation— or, better, in this night and degeneration— the things upon which lie would most ani¬ madvert would be the very opposite of the words quoted. His subject would of (neces¬ sity become “Darkness and mud,” mid the iteration would be repeated until overcome by both. The hapless wayfarer whose business or pleasure may call him out after sundown is frequently obliged to exclaim, like the miser in the school reader when the cellar door falls and locks him in, “Darkness ! Where am 1 *” But instead of playing with the red gold, the miserable man flounders around in the red mud until lie perishes or is carried to the lock np for staggering on the streets, Hwouldf.be little wonder if tho citizens of Griffin, turned [from Christianity by the perverseness of their existence, should be¬ come sun-worshippers ; for it is only by the light of the sun, direet or [reflected from the | moon, that they are enabled to see their way ! When there i* no moon there is nothing to posts. keep them from stumbling over the lamp | Why is it that Griffin, which we are some j times reputation proud that to call only a city, other lias gained place such Geor a j j one in gia, the village of l’almetta, is regarded as ! muddier 1 Tlie reason seems to bo that Griffin is city ; a with a village council : a [council with a tea jority of members who do not know w hat a council is for , who oppose all work upon the streets or any but the primitive and inad equate system of lighting because it costs money—not Having, apparently, the faintest realization that it is their business to spend the revenues of the city for the benefit of the citizens and not to hoard or fail to collect | them; spend them wisely and economically but give of the benefits of living 1 us some | under a eity government. It is because the council seems tojhaye a preference for dark ness and mud that the citizens are obliged to grape in them. ! But let us not be overcome with too great | discontent ; if we havo nothing else, we .sti.l have the sweetness that radiates like dazzling j light from the faces of these aldermen They ought to be made into lamp potts to illumi¬ nate the darkness ; then they might be of some use.

Caused by the Wet Weather. The past week has been a rather dull one, owing to the bad condi tion of the roads, caused by the a rain, and the same cause operating to prevent picking. The gins have all had an opportunity to catch up with their work, and with good roads, which will soon come with a few days of good weather, re ecipls will pickup aivain. But there will be no such rush as tiiere has been the past month. Nearly 9,000 ba’es have now been sold in this market, most of the farmer’s press¬ ing obligations have been met and the rest of the crop will be marketed more leisurely. There is .jts of cotton in the fields unpicked, and with anything like good weath or the late crops will make the re¬ ceipts fully up to the figures we have placed for them—one half more than last year. Capt. Sorrel ha* been buying cot ton in this market for seventeen years past and says that during that time the highest actual receipts by wagon were 18,000 bales, but he is confident that this year they will reach 20, The official statement for the week ending Friday morning, October 2(hh. isaslollows: Receipts for the week..... . . .1,378 Receipts since Sept 1st. ... . . .8,679 Shipments for the week.. . .1,053 Shipments since Sept. 1st.....8,153 Stock.................... 5T2 Middling, 9| c.
