A BiiiuwreM tliun or ham.
It Is wild, on wbat seems good authori
ty, that oite of our rising young mer
chants has bought Neal’s Landing, In Flor
Ida, with a view of entering Into business
at that point. He is now an active mem
ber of ono of Hie largest aud most popular
grocery houses In this city, and It Is hoped
by bis friends that the enterprise is not a
severance of his connection with our busi
ness community, but rather an extension
of the arms or the parent house here to
that rich section to secure a larger part of
the trado than has heretofore been praetlca
ble- If the latter Is the purpose, no better
roan than Charley oould be put In comand;
arid In any event, whether ho “g(>es It
alone,” or In connection with others, there
are hosts here who will wish him luck and
nothing but luck-and that continually.
Corn I p—Cotton Down.
Provisions of all kinds In the great
Western markets are booming. Prices
are advancing so rapidly,and the demand
is so anxious, that dealers are all so dazed
that they are at a loss to know what to do.
The prospect of a great European war.
and a large demand for army supplies
from this country, has put prices crazy
again, and no man can tell what will be
tho end of it, In the meantime cotton—
tho poor old ‘‘King’’—l* neglected and
crushed down so low that no one does him
honor except his faithful dovotoes In Ids
“belt,” who have so loyally worked and
waited, until they can now scarcely work
or wait, for a good time to come
Yes, cotton is low, and almost
every man who has bought It
this season has lost his time, and some of
his money, for his trouble. With those
facts and prospects ahead, will the “Solid
South" continue, this year, too, to gall its
knees before a scepter that Is Impotent to
reward with thrift Its maturing devotion?
We think every farmor in the land, this
year, ought to so pitch his crop as to en
sure a bountiful home supply of provi
sions for man and boast, and have some
‘to sell besides, for It will be a blue year
lor those who look to the West for their
food. A man who bought feorn or moat In
Columbus one week ago, would be sur
prised to see the difference to-day, and the
only rond to independence is not to have
to buy.
Tho crop question must soon be settled,
if it ia not already, for the planting time
wilt soon be past.
Iniurnnre on wuuUiern Hotel, hi. Louis.
The Globe-Democrat of the 12th gives a
list of sixty-four Insurance companies
having policies on the Southern Hotel, va
rying in amounts from $20,000 to $2,600.
Only one as high as $20,008 and three of
SIO,OOO. The majority of the others wore
$5,000; the total amount on the building
was $290,000. No Houthern company out
side of St. Louis bad any risk on the house.
Original cost of houso, which was built
during tho war, was $125,000, but It was
afterward sold to present owners for $525,
000.
In addition to the insurance on building
there was $142,000 on the furniture. This
was distributed among thirty-six com
panies whoso risks ranged from SIO,OOO
down to $2,500. No Southern company
out of Missouri, except a Richmond, Va.,
policy of $2,500, sustained any loss on
their furniture risks.
The entire loss by the burning of this
building including the loss of merchandize
and property belonging to toßants of the
buildiDgs, but Dot connected with the
hotel, waq stated to bo $804,700 ou which
there Is an insurance of $538,600, leaving
an uncovered loss of $266,100.
Irnru. Taggart A Julumton.
These Christian gentlemen, working
as erangoltsts under the direction of tiie
Young Mens’ Christian Association, are
calculated from the earnestness and fer
vency of their pleas for tho cause of
Christ, to do much good in our midst.
They met witti crowded congregations
both at the evening meetlogat tho Baptist
Church of this city and at night at the
I’rosbyterlan Church. There was a very
good attendance at tho open air meeting
held in front of the Brood Street
Methodist. At the last mentioned place it
was pleasant to see that all mot irrespec
tive of class or conditiou in life, and that
many young men held up their hands
that God’s spirit and the prayers of his
people might descend upon them.
These meetings were continued over on
Monday—in the morning at the study of
Rev. Mr. Nall, the Presbyterian minister,
and in the evening at 3 o’clock at St. Luke
Church.
The discourses of those two gentlemen
were at no time tiucturcd with sensation
al apostrophe, but with a serious earnest
ness they won the hearts of many uncon
verted hearers, who, with humbleness,
sought that jewel not to be bought with a
price—an eternal inheritance with Christ.
Mr. Taggart has a deep sonorous voice,
and raises all the hymns; his contempora
ry, Gen. George Johnston, of whom before
his conversion, an old Methodist divine
said, was too wicked to look a decent man
in the face, speaks in forcible language to
his hearers, and warning them of the poi
sonous cup they arc now draining, and
constrains many to dash It away.
May they have success wherever they
go in their missionary work.
Columbus Uuards,
Yesterday evening when the Guards
turned out for drill and target practice,
the plume was awarded to Serg’t R. A.
Ware, Jr., who made two splendid shots,
hitting the bulls eye both times.
The following were promoted to 200
yards, having made the following average
in twelve.
Serg’t U. A. Ware, Jr., 11; Privates Jos.
Tillman 9; N. L. Redd 9; Jas. Davis 8;
James Radeliff 7;,L. Daniel 7; G. H.
Keys 6.
At 200 yards distance, Sergeant Cash
made an avorago of eight, the rest falling
below the average.
At tho drill and target practice, there
was out twenty-seven men, and two com
missioned officers, tea more will be added
to the list on Memorial Day.
The prize drill will take place on Mon
day evening, at five o'clock, in the square
between Abbott A Newsom's and the Geor
gia Home building.
Tlie Mump Hark Mule loiose on the
Streets Last Night.
This poor animal was poured out on the
streets last night by three unthrifty look
ing tramps, with banjo and bones. They
made a vigorous but unavailing effort,
near this office, to divert a few nickels,
from their more legitimate grooves, for
their notes did not soem to mix well with
the melody of the night air, and they
were permitted to run their mule, their
banjo, and their bones without let or hin
drance or reward.
Youna Wen t. <Url.lUn Association.
In connection with tho visit of 8. A.
Taggart, Btate Bucretary of the Young
Men's Christian Association of Pennsyl
vania, and Gen. G. IV Johnston, of Alaba
ma, to this city, the following statement,
from an exchange, of the extent aud ob
ject of the Association will be of general
Interest:
The past year, while one of unprece
dented disaster in business elr. leu, has
been one of unusual activity In Christian
Association work,. The International Ex
ecutive Committee, from careiully pre
pared statistics, shows that not only hae
there been a very rapid growth In tho
number of Associations, but all over the
country, they have been unusually active.
At the lust Convention, eight hundred and
twenty-one Aesoclatiuns sent In detailed
reports, ap increase of two hundred and
sixty-six over those reporting in any one
year. Those failing to report would
swell tho grand total of organizations
connected with the Executive Committee
to over 1,000. Notwithstanding the busi
ness depression, sixty buildings At e re
ported clear of all debt, valued ut $1,943,-
293, and building funds added, making the
total value of the property, exclusive of
libraries, furniture, etc., over $2,000,000.
The annual expenses of the Association for
the year, amounted to about $550,000. One
hundred and twenty General Sroretaries
are employed, who give all their time t<4‘
the work The aggregate membership of
the Association is about 100,000. Over 10,-
000 men were fuulshod with employment
during the year. Twenty-one btate and
provincial Conventions, were hold during
the year, at which 416 Aseoclatlons were
represented by I,sl7delegates. Nearlynll
the States have State Executive Commit
tees,which set in harmony with the Inter
national Committee, and many of thorn
employ efficient State Secretaries.
The growth of the assdeiations In the
Southern States has been very marked.
At the time the visitation of the South
and West was undertaken by tho commit
tee, there were but three associations
south of Washington; they now number
almost two hundred, and many of them
are very active. Some of the State organ
izations are very efficient, and the fuijuro
success of the association cause iu the
Soutli is assured.
During the year the work among rail
road men, of whom ttiere were 800,000
employed upon over 80,000 miles of rail
way, lias Lean measurably successful.
Reading rooms and railroad associations
have been established In many of tho
[Lost important railroad centres. This
work ts being prosecuted this year with
the 00-operaiion of tho most prominent
railroad men in the country.
The work among tho German-speaking
young men of the country shows healthy
progress, and will be pressed during tho
spring.
A naw featuro in association work has
Just been undertaken by Gen. George D.
Johnson, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., under the
direction or the Executive Committee, for
the colored young men of the South. A
most hearty endorsement of the work
was given by the Virginia Btate Conven
tion, aud It 1s now being prosecuted with
every prospect of success.
Messrs. Hall and Crea have made their
third tour of visitation to tho Southern
Associations. Mr.Tuggait supplementing
it in Georgia and Alabama during April
and part of May by request of tho Inter
national Executive Committee. They met
with a most cordial reception, mid good
work was done by them at the Virginia
Btate Convention at Petersburg, also at
Richmond, Knoxville, Nashville, Little
Rock, Florida, several points in Texas;
and then they go to a number of points
in Alabama, Georgia, Bouth Carolina,
North Carolina and Virginia, spending
some four months making the tour.
Never before in the association history
has such prominence been given to tiie
fact that association effort Is primarily to
young men, and that tiie evangelization
of the people was not committed to tiie
Young Men’s Christian Association us
such, but to tiie organized denominational
churches. Tho associations are fast
recognizing the fact that they arc organ
ized to roach that class in the community
least cared for, most tempted aud most
difficult to reach; and, when they are en
gaged in this, their special work, their
success is assured beyond preadventure,
in some parts of the oountry associations
havo been engaged in nearly all other
forms of Christian work excepting work
for young men. Where such associations
have recognizer! the inconsistency of their
position, and have taken up their special
work, the association cause has gone for
ward. When a contrary course has been
pursued, tho work, however seemingly
prosperous, cannot have a permanent
foothold, as tho cluss of work they are
making a specialty cannot, in the nature
of tho case bo an enduring one and will fall
into othor channels.
It is well for associations to bear in
mind tfiat the full scope of associations’
work contemplates the physical, mental
and social, as well as the spiritual, im
provement of young men. In neglecting
the important phases of association work,
many organizations have l alleil to reach
young men who are not Christians. Any
work that interferes with legitimate work
for young men, however promising it
may be, should not be undertaken, and a
more thorough and systematic effort to
reach and influence this class ought to be
made by all Christian associations.
The business management of Christian
Associations is more carefully looked alter
than heretofore; and in the Board of Di
rectors, to whom is usually committed
the Association's finances, the names Of
the most prudent and suecessiul business
men of the communities in which they are
located are to be found. While a more
earnest effort for young men than ever
before is being made, never before were so
many prayer meetings held und general
religious efforts made by tho young men
engaged in the work. From carefully
gathered church statistics it is shown
that a very large number of conversions
among young men resulted from special
efforts made in their behalf by associa
tions, who are now in hearty sympathy
and actively co-operate with the associa
tions, and to this fact Is largely due the
success that has attended tho efforts of
associations during the year.
A Utter tor Gearae Johnson in the
Post Ollier.
Our Post Master, Mr. Walter H. John
son, has a letter which was directed to
George Johnson, or the Post Master, Co
lumbus, Georgia, from J. A. Hardin, Jas
per, Jasper county, Texas, detailing the
particulars of the death and burial of John
It. Johnson, tho son of George Johnson.
Wo have made some enquiries, but cannot
hear of Mr. George Johnson, or lind any
one who remembers John It. Johnson.
Should this notico meet the eyes of
George Johnson, he can correspond with
Mr. Hardin, Jasper, Jasper county, Texas.
Young Men’s Christian Association.
The gentlemen oomposing this Associa
tion In Columbus havo determined to re
organize and go to work afresh. We were
not aware, until the announcement of this
determination was made, that there was
any lukewarmness in the Interest felt by
any of its membership in the general pur
poses of the Association. No town in the
State has better material among its young
men for a strong, thoroughgoing organi
zation ; and we are glad to see them oome
to the front again, with an enthusiasm
that a few discouragements and no
amount of success can abate. The field
too, around about, this moral vineyard is
a pretty good one for the best efforts that
our young men can make—for "hardness
of heart and reprobaoy of mind” Is not
harsh language to apply to some we
wot of.
Elegant Hair is woman’s crowning
beauty. When it fades, she fades as well.
While it is kept bright, her personal at
tractions are still maintained. By pre
serving the hair fresh and vigorous a
youthful appearance is continued through
many years. Those who grieve over
their fading hair turning gray too early
6hould know that Ayer’s Hair Vigor pre
vents it. and restores gray or faded hair
to its natural color. It is a clear and
healthful preparation, containing neither
oil, dye, nor anything deleterious, and
imparts to the scalp what is most needed
a sense of pleasant and delightful freedom
from scurf or dandruff.—-Veir Berne (*V.
