Griffin. Feb. 14.—[Special.]—The
Rhodes Furniture Company have rented
the store-room recently vacated by
McKee, the harne » man, and will open
an immenso stuck of furniture next
month.
The Episcopal Church, under the rec
torship of the Rev. Mr. Hargrove, seems
to be doing good work. Recently the
congregation has been presented by a
friend in Virginiu with a full and com
plete set of lenten draperies.- They
very handsomely embroidered ana will
be placed in the church next Wednesday
and the loginning of I .out.
I The Inina on the Central railroad
never havo taen known to run on such
irregular tiino as they have in tho past
month. There is a general complaint
among our merchants.
This morning’s court was a financial
success. Ten or twelve of our citizens
who were found guilty at the last term
of the court for gaming came up, plead
guilty aud paid irom $75 to $100 apiece
and went their way swearing to
more.
Tho present grand jury is stirring tho
pot this time with tho colored brother,
but it will hardly prove as profitable to
tiio court. Judge Boynton has mudo the
court a self-sustaining part of the gov
ernment, besides making the offender
quake for fear.

THE rXOi'LX QUIESCENT.
On the contrary the people were

had been distinguished by petty persecu

against children and old men. HU
campaign against the preae commenced

s have Lten rifo for several
w «k* in the l<x>t and shoe trade to tho
effect that an English syndicate bad pur
chased or was about to purchase a con
trolling interest in this branch of Ameri
can manufacture. The absorption of so
many breweries throughout the Unitod
State* aud the evident dedre of English
capitalists to invest their monoy in
profitable directions among tho Ameri
can manufactures, lent additional color
to those rumors touching the boot and
shoe trade.
Tho statement is made, with much
color of truth, that Louis and Lawrence
Contencin of No. 120 Pearl street, asked
the Boy tstate Shoo company aud otlier
concerns in the Eastern status if thoy
were willing to sell out and on what
terms. This inquiry was mudo in tho
naiuo of an English syndicate, and it
was said that the syndicate is prc|*ared
to come to terms with ull prominent
manufacturers of Loots and shoes, but
will not enter into negotiations with any
manufacturer w hose plant and business
in worth loss than $700,000. it i* a posi
tive fact that many of tho bcoe and shoe
companies of New England would bo
glad to sell if thoy couid obtain prices
anywhere near those given for breweries,
but as English investors iuk troublesome
r ations tluro is very little protiabilitv
t the control of tins business wiU i«us
into foreign hands.
“The fnet is," said a prominent hoot
and shoe manufacturer yesterday,
j is a heavy overproduction in our
business. I cannot afford to he quoted,
hut tho World may ret,t assured of one
thing, which is that while trade in very
octivo iu hoots and show the competition
iaso keen that profit* have beeu greatly
reduced. Now manufacturing ccmpa
hire ore springing up, noticeably in tho
West, ana they enter tho market with
price* so cut down as to stagger the older
concerns. Of course a company that
ha*, by long inuu*try and conservative
method*, mode a reputation for its good■»
cannot well be deprived of its trade, hut
they are all compelled to reduce prices.
We, for instance, are content to accept
a profit of even 3 per cent rather than
lose our trade, and we do so in tho hope i
that the time will come when younger
manufacturers will see that they ore
destroying the entire business.
The stories about English syndicates
coming ami gobbling up a controlling

are too good to bo true. I know of many

reduction of 30 cents in Western freights,

hut there are reports of a probable strike
in the Alabama coke work*. At Phila
delphia rails are steady but not stronger,

COTTON AND WOOL.
.Tlie textile industries present a more
hopeful aspect With a steady and
strong demand for goods the cotton
manufacturers have increased their tak
tags of cotton largely since Jan. 1, sc
that the aggregate now exceeds that of
last year to date. There is a better de

manufacturers pursue a conservative
course, and sale* of wool aro better at
