In the future will bo his place of residence,

with many of the old citizens, and the

white and black, who had assembled to
bid farowoll to one who had over sought
their wolfare in the dtscharireof his dutios
os chief guardian of tho city.
Mr. Jno. Peabody on the part of the
public schools made a few remarks, ex*
pressing the deep regret felt by every one
In losing him from our midst, to which
Mr. Mclihenny replied In a few appro

Mr. Mell&eoy and his family bads adlew

Specimen Wheal and Barley Crops.
A friend left in our office yesterday
evening what ho called specimens of the
wheat and barley crops, that are growing
on tho farm of the Rev. Geo. Stewart of
Loe county Ala., some four miles above
this city. These specimens are about
forty inches long, and were so cut as to
leave a long stubble in tho earth. Tho
growth Is of a rich green, and in vigorous
health and both wheat and barley in full
bloom. Mr. Stewart has thirty acres of
the wheat, and ten acres of the barley,and
If no calamity befall It, ho may rely on
six hundred bushels of wheat and one
hnudrnl and fifty bushels of barley. Our
friend, who bad Just returned frdm a
visit to Mr. Stowart, says they are two of
the prettiest fields of grain ho ever saw,
and we should not be much surprised
this morning to hoar that he is out at
home, sowing wheat and barley to ralSo
some crops like them, so great was his
enthusiasm and admiration.
These crops will pay Mr. Stewart better
far, than tjie same land in cotton would
have done, and tiiey are Just as cunverta
ble Into cash. We wish every farmer In
the country would do as Mr. Stewart has
done and raise grain.
Oo to McGough’s and look at thoso

City l.lEht Guards.
This gallant Company met at their ar
mory last night to perfect arrangomonts
for their Festival and Hop, which are to
come off on the 2d and 3d of May, in the
Court-house yard and at their Armory.
Lieut. W. 11. Williams was appointed a
committee of one to secure lioad-llglifs
and Jiave them attended to.
A committee of live, consisting of .las.
E. Deaton, J, W, Midling, Mack Sparks,
M. W. Wagner and C. J. Joseph, were ap
pointed to secure lights und have the
grounds lighted up.
A committee of throe were appointed to
get up touts and have them arranged.
Consisting of J. 11. England, J. M. Lay-
Hold, R. 8. Grior. Capt. Salisbury was
udded to tho committee.
With this array of committees our com
munity oan rest assured that something
elegant will be prepared for their enter
tainment. This company is noted for its
pleasant sociables, and we may look for
something still better on the 2d and 3d ol
May.
The Court House yard is a most elegant
place for such an entertainment as the
Guards propose getting up, and their
armory is one of the best dancing halls to
be found. Success to them and tboir en
tertainment.
E. F. Colley, jr., Geo. Lnyfirld and
Homer Smith were admitted as new mem
bers last night.
At the drill on Monday night the rules
were suspended and the following new
members wore admitted: R. D. Locke,
Dunk Salisbury, M. li. Garrett, John T.
Kavanaugb, John W. Hodo, and M. J, La-
Hatte.
The former markers—Charles J. Joseph
and Price Gilbert— were transferred to
the ranks, and Masters Tim Salisbury and
Willie Walker were elected to fill tho
vacancies.

Judge W. I, Hudson and Col. J. M. Mo
bley of Harris comity were ir. the city
yesterday.
Capt. J. It. MuCleskey, tho orator for
the Memorial occasion arrived in the city
last afternoou. He is tho guest of his old
comrade in arms, Chas. H. Williams, Esq.
Our citizens will hear an eloquent ad
dress from him to-morrow. We hope to
see the houso crowded.
The Hamilton . hurnal thus speaks of
one of our fellow citizens: “While wo
think Mr. Little one of the ablestlawyers,
and best solicitors in tho State, if we are
to have a change, the Circuit Is very for
tunate that Mr. Bussey should have re
ceived the appointment.
We are glad to see such favorable allu
sions to our former townsman, Capt. W. D.
Chtpley, as below clipped from the Pensa
cola Herald, whore ho is now engaged in
the entire control of a railroad:
“Passengers speak of tho ride ns de
lightfully smooth and pleasant, whicli
speaks volumes for Capt. Chlploy’s man
agement, whiph in a few busymonths has
made tho road in Elorlda of one rough
enough for months ago. It is not a mat
ter of wonder that the road’s business
grows steadily and surely under the pres
ent management. One reason for it Is
this fact, that, go when you may, early
or late, you always meet prompt and po
lito attention in tho various offices of the
Company.

A Request triim the I,allies
Tiie ladies of the Memorial Association
request, all the merchants to closo their
stores at 12 o’clock to-morrow.
They think the designation of an hour
is all that is necessary; as tho merchants
have always choorfully complied witli
their wishos. Owing to circumstances
the exercises will begin promptly at
throe o’clock, and by closing at 12, it will
give time to those who belong to Hie mil'
itary to be promptly ready.
We are requested to state further that
boxes will be placed at the cemetery gates
to receive voluntary contributions to the
Memorial fund.
Internal Revenue Tax Payers.
From a notice in another column, our
citizens are advised of their duty to take
out licences for selling liquor and tobacco,
by the Ist of May.
Mr. Duncan Smith, the Deputy Collec
tor, has done more than is required by law
of him, and has in person been through
the adjacent countiell to receive taxes,
and for the past feyf days has been to see
most of the city dealers, to save them the
trouble of coming to his office.
If all of Mr. Clark’s appointees are as
olever, obliging, and giving as much satis
faction as Mr. Smith does to Columbus, it
is no wonder Mr. Clark is so popular, and
retains his position by the endorsement o f
both parties.
