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.

AT P. PAILLE, SR’S., 52 HILL STREET 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.

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. *AKIN I c !
