Is It Truer
Is it true ttiat newspaper subscribers
are less worthy of crodit than other peo
ple? We think not; and if not, do the
publishers who closo their books to the
reading public until the " advance ” is
mado, thereby strengthen their claims
upon a self-respecting community for
patronage? We do not act upon any such
idea.
Personal,
We aroglad to see Mr. J. C. Cheney on
the streets. He has entirely recovered
from his accidental wound, and looks as
well as ever.
Capt. McNeill, from Talbotton, is in the

Alderman Nuckolls introduced the fol
lowing resolution:
Be it ordained by the Mayor and Coun
cil of the city of Columbus that section
Ist of an ordinance, prescribing the duties
of Marshal adopted April 3d, 1876, as fol
lows : "all ordinances and rules vesting
authority or control over the police force
in tho Marshal, are hereby repealed and
the same Is hereby repealed.”
Be it further ordained, That so much of
section Ist of an ordinance in relation to
the police adopted April 3d, 1876, as re
quiring the oleetion of "one Captain or
Chief of police.” be and the samo Is hereby
repealed.
The rules were suspended, and the reso
lution adopted. Alderman Nuckollssug
guested that the negative had not been
put. The chair put the negative and Al
derman Nuckolls’ resolution was still
unanimously adopted.
A petition of several citizens asking
that everybody be taxed who do a ped
dling business, and that the law bo en
forced wus received nnd referred.
The Clerk submitted a copy of what
would be the form of an advertisement
for all bids.
Tho draft made by the clerk was ac
cepted. Alderman Coleman made a very
pertinent objection that th@ horse of the
Marshal should not be included, but
Council overruled him, and tho bid must
be for city mules and the Marshal's
horse.
TAX ASSESSORS.
Aid. McGehee introduced a resolution
that the assessors be allowed $75 for tho
work.
Mayor Brannon said he was in favor of
McGehee’s resolution.
Aid. Coleman objected.
Tho ayes and noes were called, and tho
vote stood 6 to 6.
Mayor Brannon voted nay, by which the
resolution was lost.
Aid. McGehee ini reduced the following
resolution:
Resolved, That the Clerk be instructed
to publish during the approaching holi
days the standing ordinance in relation to
tire-works.
Adopted.
Aid. Manley offered a resolution that the
14th rule of Council be rescinded and su
perseded by the following:
"That any contract let out by the city
or Its authorities, in which any member of
this Board may bo interested, shall not be
voted on by said member.”
Aldermnn Nuckolls objected, and moved
that the 14th rule be re-instated. (The
ordinance prohibits any Alderman from
taking or having nny interest in a city
contract.)
Alderman Manley differed, and thought
it ought not to be re-instated, and not
suggest that any of our members would
be guilty of a fraud.
Alderman Coleman said he did not pro
pose to adopt Alderman Nuckolls’propo
sition “you tickle me and 1 tickle you." I
propose when I scratch openly
and squarely, and not to tickle anybody,
not even tho gentleman. He deprecated
that Alderman Nuckolls should introduce
tho New York Board of Aldermen as a
sample, for they had the reputation of re
tiring each year rich.
Alderman Nuckoils regretted his views
were not fully understood. He saw no
harm in the resolution.
Alderman Manley moved the matter be
postponed—lost.
Alderman Coleman’s resolution, that no
member who is directly or indirectly in
terested in a contract bn allowed to vote
upon it, was adopted in the place of rule
14.
Yeas, 8; none, 4. Tho resolution was
adopted.
ELECTION OF CLERK OF MARKET ASP MAG
AZINE KEEFER.
Some discussion arose in regard to the
rights of butchers. Tho Mayor said he
would turn out any clerk who they made
Just complaint against, and then there
would be another election. *
Alderman Andrews nominated Win. Ma
httlley. Alderman Coleman nominated
Mr. Thomas Moore.
The vote stood: Moore. 11; Mahaffey, 2
Mr. Moore was elected.
STREET COMMITTEE.
Alderman Coleman reported what work
had been done.
It was resolved that the Street Commit
tee be authorized to feed the mules until
the contract is awarded to feed them.
Alderman McGehee moved that the
ordinance in relation to tiro works, and
the bid for contracts be published in both
papers—adopted.
Alderman Brannon asked leave to bond
parties he was forced to Imprison to the
jail where it was more comfortable,
rather than keep them in the guard
house.

ty good court. If that old lady who had
heard he was going to give folks the and —I,
had been present, no doubt some of those
dealt with would have sustained her In
her belief.
A gentleman was lined seven dollars
and a half for shooting at a dog on Ran

Dennis Jones was lined two dollars and
a half for throwings basket of trash In the
street.
John McCubbins was ordered to the

In the darkest days of the past tho peo
ple of Columbus never failed to have eoroe
sort of a “good time” Christmas; and our
merchants, counting on the well-known
habits of our people, have, In the face of
tho threatening aspect of public affairs,
laid in large supplies of Christmas goods.
Country and city buyers who prefer to
make their selections from unbroken
stocks are already availing themselves of
tho opportunities offered In tho full lines
now on exhibition.
The columns of the Daily Times will
furnish purchasers Information as to the
places where they may obiain, on the best
terms, all tho novelties of the season, as
well as the most desirable goods for Christ
mas presents and Christmas cheer. In a
few days we shall publish a descriptive
list of the dealers In holiday goods.
Wholesale Counterfeiting.
The Investigations of the secret service
division of the Treasury Department have
developed the singular fact that every de
nomination of national bank currency
has, during the existence of the national
banking laws, been counterfeited. Home
of tho national bank note plates have been
counterfeited us many as thirty times,
and many of them twenty times. Also,
that during the whole of that time the
United States greenback currency has
only been twice counterfeited. The only
counterfeits that have been developed
upon the greenbacks wero of tho SSO and
SSOO plates, and they were so poorly exe
cuted that they wore detected almost as
soon as they uppeared, and the Issue was
at once called In by the Treasurer and
new plates of different designs wero en
graved In their place. The commentary
upon these facts is this: That the Uni
ted States greenback plates were en
graved in the Bureau of Engraving and
Frintlug, and alt the national bank note
plates by the different bank-note compa
nies. The superiority of the work done
under the oyes of the chiefs of the Bureau
of Engraving and Feinting has always
proved too difficult and too costly for the
makers of spurious money to successfully
imitate.
A Tremendous Bug story.
On Wednesday morning last, says the
Grayville (111) Independent, a (Tve-year-uld
child of Frunk Dunbar, living four miles
south of Grayville, was sitting before the
tiro eating nuts. Tho parents seem to
have been sway, and only one or two
other little children present. By some
means the child’s clothes caught tire, and
in a moment she was enveloped in flames.
The house dog, a common cur, sprang on
tho child, threw her down and actually
stripped off tile burning clothing, burning
himself severely. By the time the parents
arrived the noble dog hud saved the
child’s life, he being worst burned of the
the two. I)r. Miiiron, who was called in,
gives us this information.

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wsl
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All the farmers were of the “Well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, iu
which deposits ol peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant tanning, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
of the oldest tanns apparentl> just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous tnarl. showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation ; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to
cultivate.
