Colonel OaDnoll’x Broad way bote)
•cents to yjain in popularity •• the
winter draw* on anti people come ix
to enjoy the yjayotiea of city life. At
present bo bas five regular boarders,
whoarwso fascinated with tbe com
forts and hospitalities of the place
and thocourtsey of the host that they
seldom appear on the streets, hut
•pend moat of the time in elegant
idleness in their rooms. A Niws rep
resentalive visited these gentlemen
Friday evening to obtain their views
on thequestion of whether or not
they considered prison life worth
living; and also to allow them to ex¬
plain to the public why they kept
thtiuselves so secluded. He found
the gentlemen very affable aud plea*
ant, notwithstanding their reputa-
tioc of beinjj somewhat exclusive.
Going up the winding stairs of
native wood, the elevator being out
of order, the occupants of room ene
on the first floor wrre found to be
Col. William Simmons and bis faith
ful colored valet Charlie Simmons,
who refuses to leave him for a mo¬
ment. Mr. Simmona waa very
bland, though unshaven, and willing
to be interviewed. He is a gentle
man of good family, formerly resid
ixg here, but now in Savannah. He
is a great traveler and although still
youn g has been over a great part of
tbe United States and has baen in
Canada, lie said:
“IT IS PREPOSTEROUS
that I should be confined here.
They say that I and Charlie tried to
g*t into Scheuerman & White’s
store, but we simply bappeuod to be
passing through the alley about that
time on eatirely different business-”
Tbe reporter admitted that he
thought they had got in jail by tai*
take and not through any intention.
\ “You have done me an injustice,”
continued Mr. Simoaoas,“in saying
that I was loafing and gambling.
I was simply here on a visit to the
home of my childhood and of course
was not working, and I never gam
ble. I do not have to work. Some
days 1 have speht as high as $65 in
your town, patronizing your mer
chants. Great Scott ! must a gentle
man when bo is visiting bis friends
go to work in a blacksmith shop in
order to avoid the imputatian of be¬
ing a lo&ler?” Tbe indignation of
Mr. Simmons overcoming him, tbe
News man passed on to the parlors
of
<’OL. JOHN TH sM AS HADAWAT,
the gentleman who had the un¬
fortunate difficulty whtchrciulted in
the untimely deitb of Mr. Frank
Willingbara a short time ago. Col.
fladaway occupies the front parlors,
in whiahfor convenience he also has
his bed. He was sitting upou thia
arid had a misery in bis siJe.solbat
bo was not interviewed. He is only
spending tbe winter here aud ex
pacts to riturn home in February
some time.
Next to his room is that of two

OUR COTTON REPORT.
The Receipts for Last Year Already
Exceeded.
The cotton continues to come into this
market abont as fast at at any tim# in
the season, and always briogs good
prices. One day the past week Mr. —
Thaxton, of Butts.sent some cotton over
here by his boy for which he had been
offered six eertta in Jackson. He instruct
ed the boy to take seven cent* for it i!
he could got it; but Capt. Slaton sold it
for him for eight and half, or nearly
half more than had been offered in Jaok
son. For g >od cotton faiicy piices are
paid, and sale* have b«en made every
day the past week at 9$ cents. W. E.
Hatcher, of Ilaleigb, below the Pine
mountains, sold a large bale here yeeter
day at that prioe, bringing the neat sum
of $58.04. There ia some satisfaction in
getting that amount for a bale of cotton.
Following is the official statement for
the weak ending Friday morning, Dec.
14th. 1888:
Receipts for the weeW................
“ since Sept. 1st..............16,088
Shipments for the week.............. 606

The receipt* for Friday were 350
b iles, nnd for Saturday ‘244 halve, insk
ing a total for the season up to dele of
16 682. The receipts for the week cud
ing Dec. 16, 1887, were 381 bales, atd
the total to that date wore 10,192. The
total receipts for last season wore 16.-
292,so that we have already exceeded all
of last season by nearly 400 hales, and
still the fleec? staple rolls in in uudi
minished volume. Great ia Griffin, and

A Grand Affair.
By fRr tbe greatest event of tbs
season and the most delightful enter
tainment that has occurred in Griffin
for some time was given at H. R.
Rerashart’a residence on Friday
night At about 8 o’clock p, m. tbs
couples began to arrive and tbe large
and beautiful doable parlors were
filled to overflowing. A special room
was set apart for the benefit of those
who desired to take part in tbe can
dy polling which was to occur later
on. Different games were indulged
in and tbe yonug people aaemed to
•njoy themselves Standing to their heart’* watching con
tent. n«ar. and
them as they were so bnsily.engaged
in tbi* pleasant pastime, there sad
denly flashed o'*r the mind of the re
porter the reason why in tbe far dia
tant days of the past those hoary
beaded old explorers searched so dil
igcntly for the fountain that would
restore their youth to them. After
tbe games bad been finished, by re
quest, Charles Morris witb his viol in,
and Miss Cleone Hudson accompany
in? him witb tbe piano, entertained
tbe crowd for some time. Mis* Em
txa Stiiweli then furnished them
with a rare treat in the shape of a
few of those well selected songs of
hers delivered in snch masterly style
Then came the candy pulling. It is
useless to say that this was a success
when it is known that it was arrang
ed by Mrs’ Remshart and the charm
ing Misses Moss. Everything passed
off very pleasantly and it was pro
nounced by those present, about
twenty five couples, that no enter
tainment coaid have been gotten np
in batter style nor proved more de
lightful.
