Mironi'. fiTt kditui GEORGIA. The Center of Southern MannfactnriDg. A STATEMENT OF THE VABIOUB INTEEESTS OF THE OITY. HER TRADE AM) PROGRESS. An Exhibit of the Pant Year’s Business. WHAT HAH BKKSi HONK With this issue of the Times, we lay before our readers a resume of the bus iness year, which is just dra*mg to a close, so far as Columbus has been in terested therein. In comparison witli the business his tories of other years, we can truthfully say that our city has made most rapid strides to prosperity, and in every branch of industry a more healthful tone pre vails. Without assuming to boast, it may bo candidly confessed that i olum bus is on a more solid basis of prosper ity than any city in Georgia. With her industries entirely destroyed and her great sources of wealth laid in ashes, she began at the foot of the hill in 1865, Her march has been slow, and her strength has been regained by the most gradual accretions. Hhe has moved on through the past ten years making little noise and with no blowing of trumpets, but her citizens can to-day point to her willl genuine pride and say that in her beauty and her strength she yields the palm to none. At the close of each year, as we are called upon to review the progress of what some have been pleased to term this “staid old town,” our convictions of tlie future greatness of t oluinbus are assured. 1 tie city, to start with, has a natural situation which in time will make her perhaps the most important factor in the commerce of our noble'Htatc. Bhe lies most beautifully, situated at the head of navigation, upon a stream which has already caused he fame as a manufacturing center to go forth throughout the length and breadth of (his great country. By an unfortunate system of munici pal legislation and from sheer force of circumstances, she lost in years past the great advantages which might have boon gained through a connection with the outside world by railways. It is earnestly hoped that the time may come when theme advantages may yet be seized upon; but till then her hopes are turned to her river. She sits as Queen of the Chattahoo chee at the foot of what is known as the Coweta Falls. Forty years ago the laughing waters tumbled over the granite rocks as gleefully as when, two decades before that, the red man sat upon the wild banks id' tho river and watched their gambols. Naught kept time to their music save the whisperings of tho wind which played among the branches of the wild forests which lined the river banks. To-day, upon these very banks, rise stately piles of brick and mortar, aud as an accompaniment to tae merry flow of the waters can be heard the hum of thousands of spindles. Nor is tho greatness of our fair city alone due to these, for but a short dis tance oelow lie anchored tho trade mes sengers which with driving speed pour into her lap the rich products of the country below, and returning bear from her great stocks of merchandise. ’Tie to those two important facto.s—her manufactories and her river tiade —that Columbus mainly looks; yet there are nuiuucrs of other brauclies of trade which go to strengthen her sinews aud add greatness to her name. Before laying before our readers the names of many who are doing most for our city and who rank highest in her tallies of commerce, we shall endeavor to briefly summarize the business which for the past year has been transuded in the several and partmouts of trade. Under the following heads we give the figures as wo have been able to gather them: the city’s rom.vno.N. Population makes business, and as an introduction to the summary which is to follow, if will not be inappropriate at t us point to allude to tlie number of people in and immediately around our city. A careful census of the city was taken last month by the agents of Bnoles’ Directory, which lias just been issued. The ligures given in the Di rectory include residents and those doing business in the city and living just out of tlie corpora e limits. Those ligures show tin* population as follows: \Y lutes 6,435, blacks 0,688; total I(I,USD. AVe deem it perfectly proper to include our suburbs in these ligures. Nearly half of v oluinbus live in the suburbs. T'lie city proper is completely environed with cnarmiug little villages. There are Wynuton on the east, Tnutwood on the north-east. Hose Hill on the north, and noallwood in tiie same direction and just beyond. In those villages re side people who rank among tlie most substantial and prosperous of our citi zens. On tlie Alabama side, immedi ately contiguous to the city’s line, are Girard, Marshall and Browneville, and a short distance north of t hese Summer ville. I lie following will show tho aggre gate amount 01 business which engages tlie attention of our people: (Tile figures are from the tax books) AUCTIONS. Tlie past year h;i4 not been a very favorable one tor the auction business. Sales amount only to $10,600, fliis docs tiot include legal sales. B.iNKS. Columbus can boast of as fine a sys tem of banks as any city in the Union. She nas four banking iustitu. ions, all of which are conducted with ability. They are upon a solid footing. The Chattahoochee National Bank was established ill 1800. Its resources reach about $400,000. It has a hank ing capital of $100,000: in circulation $00,000: amount of deposits $168,000: surplus fund $20,000: undivided profits and due other banks SIO,OOO. The Columbus National Bank was established in 1876, with a capital of SIOO,OOO. Tlie Merchants and Mechanics Bank, established under a Suite charter in 1872, has a capital of $76,ii00 and a sur plus fund of $7,000. Tho Eagle aud i’henix Savings De partment Is also 01*) rated under a State charter. It lias a paid up capital of $1,250,000, aud deposits to the amount of $500,000. It was founded in 1871). Tho assets of the company are pledged as security for depositors. BOOKS AND STATIONERY. This department of business remains at tho averago of former years, with perhaps a slight increase in sales. These foot $26,000. BRICKS. There are throe brick-yards in full operation in tho suburbs of tlie city. Business with them has been prosper ous during the past year, as building has been perceptibly increased. Dining the past year four million bricks have been sold. BOOTS AND SHOES. There are several Wholesale and retail shoe houses in the city. The sales from these for the past year will reach SIOO,- 000. hi addition to these, several dry goods houses do a large boot and shoe business, and their sales will equal those of regular dealers. Tlie boot and shoe sales aggregate $200,000, which is a large increase over former years. BAKERS ANI) CONFECTIONERS There are four regularly established bakeries in tlie city, and their business during tho past year reached tho re spectable sum of $28,000, which is a large increase over former years. COTTON. Columbus is one. of the leading cot ton markets in the cotton belt. For a long time her importance arose entirely from tlie advantages she offered as a cotton market and tlie number of bales received. She still maintains her ground in this particular. Coinmlnis receives her cotton fiom different points on tlie Western railroad as far as -horter’sStation; on tlie south western road as far down as Dawson, and some few bales by rail from rort Gaines; Mobile and Girard road from the terminus all the way to Columbus; North and South road from tlie termi nus: by river from all points below: by wagon from the counties of Muscogee, Talbot, Harris, Chattahoochee, ctewart, Marion and Webster on the f.eorgia side; in Alabama from Rußsell, Lee, Chambers aud Macon counties. The re ceipts lor the past year up to Septem ber Ist were 78,350 bales, being an ex cess of 810 bales over last year to same date. The river trade is no minor feat ure in tho commerce of v oluinbus. There are ilvo bouts now plying. They bring thousands of bales of cotton and carry large freights to the sections down tlio river. The gain in receipts by river set olf the loss which has occurred on tho Southwestern and Mobile and Gi rard roads. The w .rehouse sales last year amounted to $2,000,000. The season for the coming year has opened fluely. The receipts from .Sep tember Ist reach 8,466 bales, and prices are steady, good middling being quoted at 10 cents. buggies and waoons. TitU business, m> largely carried on in Columbus prior 10 the war, seems lo have dit'd oul completely uulit about two years ago. At that time it begat) to revive, anil now appears to be thriving. Two car riage repositories have been established, and there are three factories which turn nut the boil cliaracter of buggies and wagons. Tuo sales last year reached SIO,OOO. CHOCK BUT. Much croc'tery is sold in the grocery stores and in lltc houses devoted to the salu ot bouse-lurnishlng goods. There is but one regularly estaolished crockery house. It does a considerable jobbing trade as well as a full retail trade. Sales $20.000. COLT,KOBE AND SCHOOLS. Columbus lias a splendid system of schools, both public and private. The Public rtchools, there being a Male and Female department, are supported by the c ty. There is a full corps of able teachers employed, and the schools are most flourishing, in addition to these there are several private schools, all mi ller the charge of excellent teachers, and the Columbus Female College which oilers to young ladies educational advantages inferior to none ottered by tlie best colleges in the country. The school population, as shown by the last census, numbers 3,585. This does not include the very large number of chil dren who live outside tlie corporate lim its but attend schools in the city. CLOTHINO, INCLUDING It ATS AND CAPS. There are several regularly established clothing bouses in tlie city, all of which are of long standing and do a line busi ness. Within the past two years a cloth ing factory has been.put in operation. It employs 100 operatives and turns out ready-made clothing, much of which is made trout cloth woven in our own mills. The price of clothing has declined very perceptibly during the past year, yet sales exceed those oi previous years. Many of the dry goods houses have clothing departments attached lo them The sales last year, not including those cf the dry goods merchants, reach $175,000. COAL, The consumption of coal in Columbus has been steadily increasing for the last tour years so that now this important ar ticle of luel is used in almost every fam ily. The consumption ot coal last year as shown by the dealers, of which there are two, was 4,000 tons, sales $38,000. The Eagle and Phenix Mills and Columbus Iron Works, both of which use immense quantities.of coal, order directly from the mines. This is also the case with many private parties. DUX GOODS. Columbus can justly claim being one ot the best dry goods markets in the State, both in tlie quality of goods sold aud the prices asked for them. There are several large wholesale houses in the city and a great number of retail houses- Last year, however, was a trying one upon tlie dry goods market. The general depression was felt at Columbus. Sales amounted to $570,0WJ, which is a slight increase over the season of 1576 77. DRUGS AND MEDICINES. Columbus has seven large drug houses. From this a stranger might Infer that our city was unhealthy. These bouses derive their main support however from s Job bing trade, Bales last year amounted to $23,Q00. FLOUR. One of the lending manufacturing in dustries of our city is her flouring and grist mills. Of these she has lour, all of which are kepi steadily running. They ship Immense quantities of meal and flour, especially the latter. Tho river flour trade is very large. Three of the mills are operated by steam, the fourth by water. Bales lost year $256,000. FOUNDRIES AND HARDWARE. . As we Are situated in the heart of a great agricultural section, the trade in this department of business is very ex tensive. There Is a very large Foundry and Iron Works company in full opera tion here, and connected with it in a plow factory. These woiks minulaCture and construct everything in the iron line from a horse shoe nail to a steam engine. They also build steamboats and construct ige machines. In addition to the above, we liavs three old and reliable hardware houses, all of which do a good business. Bales last year, including tlie Iron Works, $200,000. FERTILIZERS. There are several fertilizer agencies In the city. Sales last year sll)o,UOii, aver aging 20,000 tons. FURNITURE. Tue demand for furniture during the past year has been on the increase, due doubtless to the fact that our people un belter able to invest. Sales laid year from regular dealers, of which there are two, were $40,000. GROCERIES. Next to cotton and manufacturing, the grocery trade is the most extensive of Hie branches of business in our city. Several jobbing houses do a flue business, their goods being shipped to all the sur rounding towns and adjacent sections ol country. There is aiso a large number of retail shops Many of this l itter class have sprung up in the past twelve months in order to meet the demands of our growing factory population. Sales in the grocery business last year $1,786,- (100. HARNESS. Business in this line has not been pw ticulaUy active. Sales $15,000. HOTELS. Columbus has iliree first class hotels, all of which are well kept. They receive a full share of palrouagc. Under the present management Columbus lias fully regained her reputa.ion for good hotels, • reputation which for a long lime was entirely lost. INSURANCE. There are six insurance agencies in the city, including both tire and life. Pre miums received nu tire insurance policies last year $50,000; on life policies sll|,ouo. ICE AND FISH. iVe have two regular ice and fish deal ers, but several retail gr, icery stores also leal in these com.nudities. During the winter ibe ti-b market of Columbus is very tine. Wp get large quantities of oysters by boat, and come Irotn Mo bile and Savannah. Bales ol ice and listi .y regular dealers for the past year $lO,- 000. JEWELRY. This is an article ot merchandise which finds ready sale only in prosperous times. For past years business in tnis line has In-eu very dull. The sales for last year were $20,000, which Is a marked increase of previous years. As the times get bet ter the trade will continue to improve. LUMBER. As budding has been more active in the past few months, the lumber trade has considerably revived. There are len reg ularly established lumber yards iu the city, and the Columbus Iron Works also deal in lumber. Sales last year $75,000. MANUFACTORIES. The crowning glory of Columbus are her manufactories. From the number and extent of these she has been called the "Lowell ot tlie South.” Our city is rapidly developing as a great manufac turing Center,and her fume, already wide spread, is destined to he trumpeted througuout the world. The city is mar velously oiessed with manufacturing ad vantages. The water power turnisheU by our river is simply immense and it lies in such a way as to be utilized with little in convenience. There is a natural tali ol 147 feel iu a distance of two miles, be ginning at the foot of Uaudulph street. Mills can he erected along the entire dis tance at only short intervals, and yet the power is sufficient to turn every spindle in them. Columbus has proven that cotton and woolen manufacturing is no longer an ex periment iu the South. She has proven that Southern mills can be opeiuted much Cheaper than Northern mills, aud tuul right here among the cotton fields is the place lo take the lleeCy staple and turn it into cloth. Eight cotton mills are now in scccessful operation. Besides these there are a jute bagging factory, a mink iactory, aud au oil letiuery. We have already mentioned tUn iion and plow works and clothing factory. Columbus has three and a half millions of doilais iuvested in manufac turing. These factories employ 2,539 operatives. Spindles iu operauou 54,105; looms 1847. The sales from cotton and woolen fac tories last year reached $2,000,000. Sales of Bagging Factory SIOO,OOO. With such exhibits as the above, Colum bus lias just cause to boast of what she is doiug in manufacturing. MISCELLANEOUS. Under this head we include sales of different articles of minor import and so numerous as to forbid mentioning in de tail. From the city tax books the aggre gate salo of these commodities reach $260,000. REAL ESTATE. Real estate seems lo have considerably revived —several new stores and dwell ings been erected aud others are in processor erection, items have not de clined, and it'any change has taken place it has been a slight advancement. The average per cent, in rents is about 10 per cent on the market value; though taxes, insurance and repairs will make the net profit considerably less, say G per cent. We believe, however, that the “bottom has been reached” in this species of prop erty, and from the present outlook real estate will greatly appreciate. All that has recently been put upon the market has brought fair prices. Another good sign is tlie fact that houses are in brisk demand, and many stores formerly unoc cupied are filling up. The amount of taxable real esiale in the city is $3,000,000; non taxable $500,000; total $3,500,000. STOCK. Columbus has three first-class livery and sulo stables, all of which do a good business. The mule trade during the Winter amounts to no inconsiderable sum. Columbus befo# the war was noted for her fine stock, and some of the best horses in the State were to be found here. With in the post year she seems to be tendinir towards her former prestige in this par ticular. WINES, LIQUORS, TOBACCO AND CIGARS. This class of business seems to be flourishing. Tin re is one large wholesale liquor end tobacco bouse Hnd quite a number of retail houses. The sales will aggregate $175,000, but this only applies to regular dealers. These articles are largely sold in grocery houses and to some extent by druggists, and it is impossible to arrive at the actual amount of sales. The following, which is nob full, will give an idea of tho various occupations of our people: Auctioneers 1; architects 2; bankers 4; barbersß; blacksmiths !5; bookbind ers 1; hoarding house keepers 10; book merchants 2; shoe merchants (regular) 4; boot and shoe makers 30: brick deal ers 4, brokers 6; builders 12; butchers 17; candy manufacturers 5; carriage dealers 6; crockery dealers 3; cigar manufacturers 5; cigar and tobacco dealers 6; clothing merchants 5; coal dealers? 2; school teachers 80; commis sion merchants 12; coojierl; cotton buy ers and brokers 25; dentists 4; editors 4; jewelers 4; dress and cloak makers 25, druggists 12, dry goods merchants 30; dealers in fertilizers 2, furniture dealers 2; grocers 125; locksmiths 4; hardware merchants 4; harness dealers 1; hotel keeps 3; ice dealers 3; insurance agents 10; junk dealers 2; justices of the peace 5; lawyers 33; livery stable keepers 3; lumber dealers 4; marble dealers 1; mattrass makers 3; mechan ical engineers 3; milliners (i; music teachers 2; painters 10; photographers 2; physicians 22; printers 40; newspaper offices 2; job offices 2; restaurants 4; sewing machine agents 2 - offices : steam boat agents 2; tailors and repairers 6, telegraph operators 5: trunk manu factures 2: undertakers 2: wagon man ufactures 7: wagon yard keepers 5: warehousemen 12: watchmakers 3.

Frank Ennis sang -Essie Dear,” and was wotll received and loudly encored. Alex Puoetti’ Banjo Solo was excellently performed and he was recalled. The jig dancing by Godwin and Lyons was unusually well done. Robt Allen’s impersonation of the old darkey could not be excelled. He sang: "I want to see the Dear Homo Again,’ with fine effect. The after piece “Organizing a Columbus Minstrel Troupe,” was highly amusing and brought down the house. The National Guards by F. Ennis, ii. Ennis, J. Godwin, and H. Lyons, afforded much merriment.
