Ho Van Want First-Class Liquors?
We do not write this to encourage
drinking, or anything of that sort, but
whiskey is often needed for medicinal,
as well as for social purposes. The ques
tion Is where can you get the best and
pureet? While we do not claim to be a
perfect Judge of such matters, a friend
who is, says that the very best can be
gotten at Swift’s Centennial store. He is
agent for Haden A Davis’ Glen wood
whiskey, which “bitters" have borne the
bine ribbon wherever it has been tried.
But people can’t live by drink alone,and
require groceries. These they can also
get, and get cheap. Mr. Soule Redd is
manager for Mr.Swift, and is always at
the store ready to make the best terms
with all who call. Go there and try them,
and you will be exactly suited.
CkaltskMtkte XltcUn t be Cnlniti.
We learn that the late election in Chat
tahoochee for county officers Is to be con
tested. The contest is based upon Intimi
dation and fraudulent voting. The mover
of the contest is one of the defeated can
didates, who claims that the negroes
would have voted solidly for him, but for
the intimidation of those to whom they
are hired. He also claims that the ballots
did not express the wishes of the voters.
No steps have been taken yet, hut the
mover was In the city yesterday looking
to a general overhauling of the returns.

Netting mt County (onmliiloirn.
On Saturday the County Commissioners
met and made several changes which will
make some difference In the oounty ex
penditure for the year.
They appointed F. M. Comer Jailor, at a
aallary of 9400 per year. In place of J. W.
Johnson who received SBOO last year.
Dr. W. W. Flowellen was appointed
oounty physician at a salary of $176, In
place of Dr. J. E. Baoon who received S3OO
last year for the service. Hugh O’Pry
was retained as ovuraaer of chain gang at
SSO per month, Instead of S6O per month
as heretofore.
M. D. Hood A Cos. supply medicine at
$175 per year. They last year received
S3OO for It.
The county printing was given to the
Timks office at a large discount from the
price paid the Enquirer office last year.
The Commissioners, In their action on
Haturday, planted themselves where every
tax-payer in tha oounty wants them to
stand—cn a platform of rigid economy.
We will do our partJn this line, and want
to see all others who work for the public
do likewise until the public purse te more
easily Ailed than It te now.
Cslssikai Market and Columbus
Butrbrn.
We have often thought, In the past,
that no town could have a poorer beef
market than Columbus, and we still say
that no town ever should have had to feed
on poorer beef than the people of Colum
bus have had to eat, until lately. But the
untiring energy of the Columbus butchers
and market-men has made a change In
this mutter, and a ehange too for whloh
every family in the elty feels grateful,
for now they can send to the market and
get as good a piece of beef, mutton or
pork, as can be furnished anywhere. The
farmers In the surrounding country have
been urged, and by getting good prices
offered for cattle, encouraged, to properly
fatten tholr surplus cattle, until our mar
ket is well supplied with good meat. When
Inferior stock is offered It Is promptly re
jected, or bought to be stall-fattened by
yard keepers. We are. In our own behalf,
as well as in behalf of our fellow-citizens,
glad of lids change, and will right here
thank our enterprising market-men for
making it
A Urantl success, Indeed.
If the Grand Masquerade Ball Commit
tee can attract to our town all the distin
guished gentlemen whom they have Invi
ted, they will have accomplished a grand
success indeed. We understand some five
hundred Invitations have been Issued, and
that among the invited are Ex-flov. Sam’l
J. Tilden, of New York, President elect (by
the choice of tho people) of the United
States; Oov. Grover and Mr. Cronin, of
Oregon; Govs. Smith and Colquitt, and
Hon. Benjamin H. Hill, of our own State.
James Qordon Bennett Is not expected.
Now, If our young ladles will only “set
their caps" and catch Samuel J., when he
comes, and take the old Coon In out of the
cold, and go and he’p him do the gay and
elegant thing In the boudoirs of the White
House, and use their Influence In getting
poet offices, trading posts, collectorshlps,
foreign missions, and treasury clerkships
for our "boys," wa will hava a Qrand
Masque every year in commemoration of
our luck. Let him come here, and If some
Columbus girl don't make his heart warm
up to the welding heat, he Is a lost sinner
and doomed to die a bachelor!
Canceling City Tax.
Marshal Moore was around yesterday,
notwithstanding the rata), notifying delin
quents that their city tax <nu< be paid
Now this is a sad notification to many of
us, and not a very agreeable ono to any,
still the music must be faced and the
money must come. The role is it a man
is not able to pay tax on his property he
must sell out to someone who is able to
do it; and if he is not prompt in selling
oat the city kindly comes to his aid and
will do the selling for him. The Marshal
is obliging and will indulge to the very
outside point of official possibility, but
his duty is printed on his documents so
plainly that the longest stretch of his
cleverness will not reach out to the end.
Tax payers must settle dp or the adver
tisement will go in and further cost In
curred.
A Halt Place for t twlld Improvement.
It should be, and wc believe it is the
purpose of the Council to have our streets
and sidewalks in good condition, but it Is
almost Impossible to have good streets or
even passably good walks during such a
protraoted season of rainy and cloudy
weather as we have had for a month past,
but there are some places that are so bad
that they should receive special
attention at once. One of theao places Is
on the Front street sldewnlk. In the neigh
borhood of the residence of Judge Brooks.
That walk is quite a thoroughfare for a
large number of people—many of the fac
tory employees who live in tho lower por
tion of the city among them—and it has
been rendered almost impassable by re
cent deposits of clay on It by the olty
carts, whleh tho late rain has converted
into the most uninviting mess of mud that
can be found. A few loads of clean sand
hauled and thrown on now would go a
long way towards making a solid Im
provement in a terribly soft plsce.

But lew of our own citizens have ever
thought of tho history of the men of Co
lumbus. We don't think another town In
the State can make such a showing. We
know there 1s none that oan mako a better
one. For Instance, Columbus has fur
nished one President of Texas—Mlrabeau
B. Lamar; four Governors of Georgia—
Oov. George W. Towns, Provisional Gov.
James Johnson, Guv. James M. Hmtth, and
Gov. Alfred H. Colquitt—(the three last
named gentlemen are now thing); one
Governor of New Mexico, Gov. Jsmee 8
Calhoun; two Governors of Florida—Gov.
John Milton and Gov. George F. Drew;
and besides the above named, we can
almost claim Gov. Mil:on 8. Latham, of
California, as his residence was only a few
miles distant in Russell oounty, Ala.
If any town can show a longer or
brighter list, let It Oome to the front.
The Weather—Bain, Cold, Hud, sisp.
Clear.
After what has been nnanlmoualy pro
nounced tho coldest, rainiest, muddiest,
sloppiest, dirtiest and moat disagreeable
weather In two years, It cleaerd off In the
afternoon of yeaterday and gave promise
of some fair weather, at least, whether
otherwise pleasanter than it has been or
not. The sight of sunshine did us good,
and we hope we shall havo enough of It
now for a while to dry the streets and
roads that they may he pleasantly pass
able.
It saema strange that notwithstanding
the long season of rain that the river is
still quite low. We understand tbs bo*ts
scrape some of ths bars In passing up
and down with moderate loads.
The fall of water has been so gentle an and
slow that the earth has absorbed it, and
Is holding It in reserve for summer use.
The crops will need It all in July anil Au
gust, and the farmers will then rejoloe
that a good Providence stored It up for
them.
Election ol Magistrates and Bailin'..
AT EANCK’S.
In our notice en Hund-iy of the election
at Nance's, we stated O. H. Hancock was
elected magistrate. This was a whopping
mistake and we don’t know how we came
to make it, for Instead of that, O. H. Mil
leu was elected, as he should havo been;
for h* was a gallant “Confed." when that
sort of men were needed; and he now
totes only one arm with which to do hts
oSictal work—having lost the other In the
war.
AT BOZEMAN’S.
At the election, at Bozeman's on Satur
day J. H. Brooks was elected Magistrate,
and F. M. Comer Bailiff.
AT EDWARD'S.
Smuel W. Anthony was elected Magis

was elected Bailiff.

Last night in Atlanta the Beethoven So

Scribner'* ter November.
It is curious, not to say amusing, to sec
how people resent the introduction of
the Jewish element into George Eliot's
last great story. That the Jews killed
Christ is the principal thing that many
excellent Christians remember about that
extraordinary race. They forget that the
race also gave birth to Christ. That
Christ should be killed by any people
among whom he might appear was ine
vitable, and had to do with human na
ture at large. The exceptional and mar
velous thing, speaking secularly, was his
productions. There can be no reply to
the tremendous retort of the Israelite up
on whom the Christian had spat—that
half Christendom worship a Jew, and the
other half a Jewess. Says Matthew
Arnold : “As well imagine a man with a
sense of sculpture not cultivating it by
the help of the remains of Greek art, or a
man with a sense for poetry not cultiva
ting by the help of Homer and Bhakespcare
as a man with a sense for conduct not
cultivating it by the help of the Bible 1”
“Greecewas the lifter-up to the nations'
of the banner of art and science, as Israel
was the lifter-up of the banner of right
eousness.”
A Good Plea ter Young Lawyers.
A client who bad a case of some im
portance coming up in Court the other
day, was disgusted to find that his law
yer would not plead it in person, but had
relegated its management to one of his
junior partners. The advocate had other
fish to fry, but did not fail to advance an
excuse of exquisite ingenuity, as follows:
"What would the Judges say if they
saw a man of my professional standing
come into Court to plead so trifling a
case? Why, they should conclude that
when you employ such eminent counsel
your case must be desperately bad, and
so there would be a prejudice created
against you at once."

SINGULAR REVELATIONS.
In the furious struggle for life, clothing
waa stripped off. Here were found a pair
of men’s legs, naked, there the trunk with
but a sleeve on the arm. flue poor woman
had drawn her petticoat, all that was
left on her of clothing, over her head and
face, and so died. Pretty infant* Were
dug up naked. Fifty bodies were ’welded
together, one huge human cinder. As the
bodies were broaght out, they were piled
up like cord wood, until they could be
taken away. One lady camo searching
for the body of her husband. “He had a
hundred dollars In his vest pocket," she
said, and who would evnr have expected
greenbacks to go safely through fire?
But when shown the upper portion of a
man, she said it was her husband,arid put
ting her hand In his vest pocket drew out
tha $l9O uaeluged. The pocket* of tha
dead revealed the oondlttonsof their llrst
ownois. While this man had SIOO In Ids
pocket) another had but live cents, another
three, another a bunch of keys and a
pawn ticket. Another a watch, In the
Inner case of which was Inscribed “a
mother’s gift." * * * •
OVER TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE PERISHED,
mostly women and children, and over
one hundred and fifty cart loads of unrec

Hnrely we havo had enough theatres
burned In this city alone to have made

Theatre has been burned no less than
three times, Barnum's Museum twice, and
the Fifth Avenue was also burned and its
charred walls removed only a short lime
ago. The Winter Garden Theatre was
burned, Niblo’s, the Academy of Music,
and others, the names of which I do not
recall. In 1946, Hfty people ware burned
to death in the Quebec Theatre, and the
Richmond Theatre burning, in 1811, Is
still cited as something must uppalllng;
but no destruction of a theatre has ever
exceeded or oven equalled In horror the

Theatre on Wednesday evening, Decem

These deservedly celebrated and popu
lar Medicines have eff.-ctod a revolution
In tho healing art, aid proved the fallacy
of several maxims which have for many
years obstru ted the progress of medical
science. The false supposition that “Con
sumption Is incurable” deterred physi
cians from attempting to flud remedies
for that disease, and patients afflicted
with it reconciled themselves tu death
without making an effort to escape from
a doom which they supposed to be una
voidable. It IS now proved, h >wevePj that
Consumption ran be cured, and that it has
been cured in a very great number of
eases (some ol them apparently desperate
ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone;
and m other cases by the same medicine
iu connection with Scheock's Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both,
according to the requirements of the
case.
Dr. Schenvk himself who enjoyed unin
terrupted good health for more than forty
years, was supposed at one time to be at
the very gate of and -nlh, his physicians
having protiounoed bis ease hop-less, and
abandoned him to Ills fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid Medicines, and, since his
recovery many thousands similarly af
fected have used Dr. Schenck’s prepara
tions with the same remarkable success.
