Columbus Enquirer-Sun; Tho
remarkablo success achieved by
this city may best bo seen by a
comparison of the business of tbo
present with that of 1805 and a
few years thereafter, when the new
Columbus began to lake on new
life. The first year after tho war
the receipts of cotton amounted to
31,486 bales, tho following year to
44,725, and in 1867-68 reached
86,685. The year following the re
ceipts dropped down to 48,600,ami
in 1871-72 to 40,650. Five years
liter the receipts again increased,
reaching 72,534. In 1880-81 the
receipts had steadily inercased
until they reached 112,431, and at
no timo have they foil short of
100,000 until last year, when they
fell back, owing to a short crop, to
82,581. This is easily explained,
when it is remembered that there
was a falling olf in the total crop
of 1,818,746 bales. It will thus be
seen that the cotton trade in Col
umbus has more than tripled itself
since the war.
A Journalistic Vacancy.

A San Francisco Journalist has
received an oiler to go to Southern
California to conduct a journal
tbere. The proprietor writes;
“The salary, $16 a week, may sound
•mall, but, being Inj the center of
an agricultural .district, we are
constantly receiving large gifts of
potatoes, grapes, delicious peas,
and indeed, everything in season,
which, after being duly noticed,
would become your perquisites.
The editorial table turns up, and
makes a capital bed at night, and
there Ip an exeoilctit 'etovo to boil
c-olfee on. If you can play hymn
tunes there is a vacancy also of
$5 a month for an organist.’’

being agitated by the people of

public school system,, recently
established, has aroused .till* agi
tation, and it is probable that the
result will bo annexation at an early
day.
