steamboat fraternity to know something
of the whereabout* of some off their old
comrades of the Chattahoochee rtver
men that they knew well in those good
old days of long ago; men that they have
lost sight of for these many years, and, I
dare say, it will make a thrill of pleasure
dart through their old hearts to know
that a great many of their old comrades
are still alive, and the most of those I
shall mention are in good, easy circum
stances :

Os meatebln this city Thursday, March
13th, Johnnie, aged four years, and Fri
day morning, I4th, Suit) Bir I, aged two
years, children of Mr. and Mrs H. B my.
In knowing him, we lived the dear,
’bright, iuter<Htlng Johnnie, and his sweet 1
little sitter, ••Sudo Bird.” They hid care- '
ful nursing, but medical attemlo-f avalleth
nothing, wrrnn God siys “come.” Two lit

11ngt have gone to that celutlal abode
above, where all is joy, happiness and
love. Weep not for your 1 >ved little ones, '
b r.taved parents; for in my little ohlldn-n 1
nave gone to H iaven to live. Thev add ‘
two more to that bright, seraphic I ind.
But 011 what an aching void they have 1
left in your hearts which tirn » alone will '
Heal. No more on euth will you hear 1
(.heir childish prattles. Nt) more will you 1
look into their innocent ey<H. while you 1
lavish on them,loud p irmts, Joy, love and

those two loved ones.
But your darlings are safe at home, and
forever at rest. Though affilotions, hard f
and severe, may assail you, and sorrow In
its most oppressive form may bang like a '
pall over you, you can remember that
your little ones are happy. Plucked by a ‘
wise Father's hand, and transplanted in a 1
fairer, brighter clime, where, it you but :
obey Ills righteous word, will meet that I
sweet boy and girl, and In that bright 1
world will you live forevermore.

Young Men's duo. i
A prominent young gentleman of this .
city, a member of one of the professions, I
approached the writer In reference to a I
formation of what should ba termed the '
Young Men’s Club. Ho thinks that the i
young men of the city would bo greatly t
benefltted by such an Institution and cited I
some very excellent reasons in support of I
his proposition. |
Columbus, In our humble opinion, stands I
greatly in need of a well organized club, i
composed of young mm, if by “club” Is <
meant an organization devoted to intel- ‘
leclual as well as purely social pursuits. I
The bane of such organizations hitherto
has been the Introduction of objectionable i
features within the club rooms. Any club
that devotes Its main attention to frolics
or time killing, Is not only detrimental to <
the general welfare of its members, but <
will eventually die out. Young mon ere
apt to become satiated acd surfeited, even
with those pastime that at first blush
seorn positively alluring.
It is not intended that theso short re
marks shall give any specific directions to
tho possible movers of a probable scheme, 1
but it is submitted that if proper measures ’
are taken towards the formation of a club
to l»e composed of young men, tho scheme 1
will undoubtedly be received with favor by
quite a number of young mon. Mauy
would indeed lie glad of an opportunity to ’
spend a pleasant evening hour in a well I
appointed room, read a newspaper there,
or while away tho time with a visiting 1
friend when one would take to tho rooms. J
Tho advantages are obvious, and the cost
to each individual member would be com
paratively light, if a sufficient membership
couRI be obtained.
Who will stait the ball rolling ?
The Tight Hope.
I‘rof. Dare, the daring rope artist aud
acrobat, mounted tho cable stretched
across Randolph street, on time yester- •
day. He performed aomj wonderful feats
and was much more successful In his 1
daring exploits than la the tl lanolal parj
of the programme His collections
seemed to have been rather light. The
large audience seemed well pleased, es
pecially our favorite, the small boy.
A Nobby M!gn.
Messrs. Branuon A Carson have placed
In the front part of their down town drug
store, one of the new electric signs for Ep
ping's Buchu. It is a beauty, and com
mands tho admiration of all who visit the
store. The word Buchu is composed of an
Innumerable number of nickel pieces about
tho size of silver quarters, suspended on
wires to a black back awning, which is
connected with an electric battery that
keeps it quivering, causing the pieces,
which are ver}’ highly polished, to sparkle
like millions of diamonds.

Autonlo Cutro and his splendid band
have come back from their recent trip
Their numerous friends, patrons and ad
mirers are glad of it. The sweet strains
of harp and violin resound in our de

tolling in musical eloquence of the pres
ence of the nice little band.

DOWS THE RIVER.
A Trip over io AbWeville.
It only requires a few moments’ time,
very often, to bring a wonderful change
over the spirit of our dreams. In a com
munication a day or two ago, your corres
pondent stated that ho would continue his
travels down the river, but “a change came
over the spirit of his dreams,” and now he
finds himself at
ABBEVILLE,
a very neat little country village, twelve
or fifteen miles West of Fort Gaines, on the
Alabama side. Abbeville is the capital
of Henry, a proiperous county. The town
looks somewhat the worse for wear, but
is not In a dilapidated state like many
other small places. The use of mechanical
tools and the paint brush would add very
much to the look-j. The dwellings as a
general thing, while they are old stylo
*ook neat and bear the marks of teste and
refinement. The store-houses look as
though old man Noah might have been the
architect. The court-house is a huge
wooden building, tbs first of the
kind we ever saw, though we are
nformed tnat nearly all the
court houses In this part of the State
are of the same pattern. Abbeville is the
home of some of the
PROMINENT MEN
of Alabama. Os this number w> may
men don General A. C. Gordon anl (bl.
W. o.Oates, both of whom have ti gured 1
conspicuously In AUbun i p ditl», The
former was a prominent candidate for
Governor In the Iwt campaign, while the
'attar came very near representing his
district In the new Congress. Both of
them well deserve the high p siition they
occupy and are by no means ordinary
inen. Among the citizens we might make
PERSONAL MENTION
of a number of as clever gentlemen as
live In Alabama. Meesrs. Wyatt Oats.
Corbett, Cowen and one or two others
stand prominent among the legal frater
nity, aud all are gentlemen of the first,
water. We only met two of the mer
chants—Messrs. J. W. Stokes and Gran
befl-y and Long. If they are specimens
the town's certainly fortunate, for we
have never met more courteous and ac
commodating gentlemen than these men
tioned.
THE FAHMEBS
arogolng ahead with their crops. Many
of them are through planting com, and in
many places it is up very nicely. From
what information we have, the prospects
for tiie future are more hopeful than they
have been for the last few years. It seems
that they are njaliziag the fact that suc
cess in farming can only be attained by a
mixed husbandry, and have planted large
erdps of grain. This is a great cotton sec
tion, and while cotton is king, it d<x» not
pay to raise it even here to the exclusion oi
other crops. It is argued by many that
it does not pay to raise their bacon at home,
aud It is the exception and not rhe rule
where they undertake it. One of the mer
clianto here has tills week received 15,000
pounds of taocm which he proposes to sell
at 10 cents per pound on credit until next
fall. He will take mortgages on crops,
stock, etc., and next winter we have no
doubt those who buy it will think it pays
to raise meat.
THE
are rather unique in their character or at
least it is something altogether new to
your correspondent. We did not have the
pleasure of attending either, but a gander
pulling, which occurred a few miles from
here, and a candy pulling the village have
created a <lesl of comment and criticism.
In fact a full report of both recently ap
peared in the ooiumes of the New York
Herald. Gander pulling is something that
has s< Idem occurred in the history of civ
ilization, and as a matter of curiosity to
vour numerous readers we may refer to it
again, when we have an opportunity to
speak of it more at length than will be al
lowed us at this time. Th* Cindy pulling
Is not so extraordinary, but it was the
IHJcullar style In which this was conducted
that caused the criticism. We will also
speak of it at another time and give you a
description of how they play “Ugly Mug”.
“Old Sister Phebe,” “All the Way to Bos
ton,” etc. We shall continue our trip
DOWN THE Bl VER
in a day or two, and will probably jnake
Neal’s Landing our next stopping place
If time will allow, we will explore the
great cave, and will sail upon the waters
of the lovely Chlpola, and will give you
the Ixmeilt of what we see and hear.

I.ETTEI FROM TALBOTTON.
C «URT NEWS—TALBOT COUNTY’S OPIN
ION OF THE GORDON-FELTON CONTBO
- VJ&SYAND THE ALSTON KILLING-REAL
' ESTATE IMPROVEMENTS IN TALBOTTON.
Talß'jtton, Ga., March 14,1879.
Editor Tinea : We will assay to inflict
' another letter upon your readers from
! this point. We use the word inflict, not be
because it has that significance in ss much
as it comes from Talbotton butslmplybe
-1 cause of its applicability to what the wrl
* ter may give expression to. Having al
ready twice this wafk Indulged in news
-1 pa scribbling about affairs happening
‘ hereab juts it Is not to bi presumed that
’ there Is much left for the rep jrtorial pen.
However it may tie of interest to the pub
lic to know What progress the court is
making and further, what may be the
opinion of the people of Talbot concern
ing the questions now uppermost in the
1 mindset the people of lhe State as mat
’ ters of discussion. In the first pl xce as
J to the court. That tribunal is moving
along with its usual monotony and at the
’ same time with a dispatch which
is highly suggestive of the ability
and efficiency of the presiding
judgn. The Equity docket was taken up
yesterday morning and gme through
with by night. There were only a few
cases upon It, end they were of minor im
portance. Only one case was tried and this
was a bill filed to eaiablish the titles to a
' small tract of Hud Jn this county. The
Appeal docket, which you know tn this
1 county generally contains oases involving
amounts not greater than one hundred
dollars, was taken up and disposed of.
As we write the Claim docket D under
call. The court will prubibly adjourn to
morrow morning till Monday next. At
that time the Slate docket will be taken
up and peremptorily calle*!. In the ab
sence of Solicitor Bussey, J. H. Martin,
Eeq., of this place, has been appoints!
Solicitor pro tern. It is with profound
sorrow that the many friends of Col. Bus
sey In this section hear of the great be
reavement he his sustained In the death
of his children and the serious illness of
his wife. He has the sincerest sympathy,
not only of bls brethren of thj bir,
but of all of hie friends.
The sub-Jecl which most largely eigagea
your Talbot county neighbors is of
course tr.e preparatkms forth *1 r n a xt
crop. Still, as nearly all of thenraro read
ers of your valuable j lurual, they are
thoroughly posted on the political Issues
of the day and take a great interest In ths
questions generally discuss’d by the
press. Ths Felton-Gordan controversy
nascomein fur a large share of comment.
The general opinion seems to be that Mrn.
Felton, in dipping Into poM ics, has arted
iq a manner unbecoming her sex We
, have beard more thio <>n» sarcastically
remark that Ge rgl i might do well to run
her for Governor. She seems to be so apt
at helping “the Pattou” along, and so
ready to steer the course of our senators,
perhaps she may, by the approach oPthe
nominating convention, pul in her name
for Governor. The controversy is regard
ed as nothing but a vast deal of “mud
slinging*' on the patt of Fulton and wife,
and the attaeks upon Gen. Gordon are ac
counted as the promptings of mal
ice and private spleen. As for the
people of Talbot, they regret that (ten
Gordon has condescended to notice the
attacks made upon him. They say that
his character as a representative of
i the people Is unimpeachable, and that
from the time he entered public life to the
present, ho has always proven hlmwlf
true to his State, hi« people and his party;
and so long as he continues thus te do,
jttet so lung will they eontinue to love and
honor him. When the sad news of the un
fortunate homicide, which took pla e In
, Atlanta on Tuesday, reached here on
Wednesday, it was received with the
greatest regrets. The account, as given
i in the Constitution, makes the killing,
. Judging from a public aud extra-judicial
( standpoint, murder; yet the course of
, the papers in pronouncing the homicide
murder, before the law has so pronouned,
is discountenanced. They say that the
law is fully ample to reach Into the entire
details of the terrible tragedy and that
( Justice will see to it that the guilty are
punished, and in the meantime, it does not
1 become any of the press to stir up an un
i Just prejudice ag&'nat the unfortunate
i prisoner. But we abstain from further
comments upon public opinion regarding
this matter, and will not pretend to aay
what may or may not be true. The
deceased, as well as the gentleman up
i on his hands who-e blood rests, were both
known to the writer, and he would not
pen a line that Woidl throw dlsparage
i meat upon lhe memory of the former or
wound the feelings of the latter.
Talbotton seems to be upon rising
ground. Her merchants and business
men appear busy. Real in the town
has taken an upward tendency Id the
' few mouths and v e notice c mstderable
i repairing going on about town. On
I Wednesday the whistle of a new steam
i mill was heard for the flrst time,
I just on the east edge of town. The mill
has been recently erected by Messrs. J. H.
Martin and L. A. Baldwin, anil is now in
full blast, grinding out meal and flour. It
will prove of great ronvenienoe to the town
and county,especially since the destruction
by fire of the valuable mills of Messrs.
Persons A Dozier.
' Tallotton’s churches and schools are all
flourishing, and tiie entire county is pre
paring for the great county fair in the fall.

AN ARMED MOB TAKES P 'BSESBI N OF A
CENTRAL RAILROAD TRAIN.
On Wednesday night, as the down ‘
passenger train on the Atlanta divi- j
siou, was at Forest Station, ten miles •
from that cky. it whs boarded by a
party of men with their faces blacked
. aud armed with puas. They took
possession of the train, and tramped
through it from one end to the other.
| In passing from the smoking car to
the ladies’ coach they cut the bell
line, and proceeded through the
sleeper, carefully examining the train .
as they went.
As they came back one or two of
• them remarked “we are Clacton
boys.” They then got off the train
and shot their guns off and disap

The black upon their facss s? com-
1 pletely disguised tnem that none
’ were recognized. There were eight
• or ten in tne party.
, Besides the cutting of the bell line
and terrifying the passengers co
other acts of vandalism were com
mitted. The object of the raid is
f supposed to have been the capture of
» the negro murderess, Julia Johnson,
i who was recently acquitted in Clay

. Ho fe ling was very high against

I LIVER
■ | This important organ weighs but about three
■ pounds, and all die blood in a living person
■ about three gallons) passes through it at least
■ . once every half hour, to have the bile and
other impurities strained or filtered from it.
e ! Bile is the natural purgative of the bowels, and
Wis lhe Liver becomes torpid it is not separated
from the blood, but carried through tbe vein#
I— to all parts of the system, and in trying to es
cape through the pores of the skin, causes it to
turn yellow or a dirty brown color. The stom
ach becomes diseased, and Dyspepsia, Indi
b gesrion, Constipation. Headache, Biliousness,
. Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles, Sick
and Sour Stomach, and general debility follow.
-B M|srmki.l's H KPA tins, the great vegetable di »-
Pq covery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw
I jIT from one to two ounces of bite each time
pH the blood passes through it, as long as there is
Kan excess of bile ; and the effect of even a few
doses upon tellow complexion ora brown dirty
looking skin, will astonish all who try it—they
< being the first symptoms to disappear. The
I cure of all bilious diseases and Liver complaint
is made certain by taking Hbfatinb in accord

cured in twenty minutes, and no disease that ■
arise* from the Liver can exist if a fair trial is
