Comintßßloners of Commons.
The Board of Commissioners of Com
mons held their regular monthly meeting
yesterday afternoon In the office of th 8
president. A full board was present, ex
cepting Messrs. Coleman and Freer.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read and app roved.
A petition from the Columbus base ball
issoclatlon for the lease for live years of
a portion of the southeast commons, north
jf the colored cemetery, about 600 feet
north and south and 800 feet east and
west, was received and reierred to a com
mittee of thtee—Messrs. Grimes, Redd
and Epping, with power to act.
I’ue committee to whom was referred
the petition ot J. 0. Holmes and others of
tne colored M. E. church ter a lot upon
whleli to build a church, recommended
• hat it be granted, but upon motion ot
Mr. Curtis the matter was postponed
until next meeting. The board then ad
journed.
Complimentary,
No city la Georgia Is making more satle
actory progress than Columbus. The
changes and Improvements made within
,he last tew years are everywhere noticea
ble. The streets are kept cleaner and In
better condition than In any southern
Ity we nave visited for many years. New
and elegant residences are being erected
and new ludusttlal enterprises Inaugurat
ed and carried forward. The people are
animated by a spirit of Improvement, and
seem to be prosp -rous aud contented. It
the city councils ot Atlanta and Macon
would go in a body to Columbus and In
spect her streets, It would accomplish
more good than all the puffery bestowed
upon the one, and all the censure visited
upon the other.—Macon Telegraph.
Come Forward With Your Subecrlptiona*
Tne enterprise on foot for sprinkling the
streets Is worthy the attention ot every
merchant, as It Is to our Interest to have
it done effectively, and at an early period,
as all know that during the summer
months toe dust is unbearable, besides
ihe Immense damage done to merchan
dise on the shelves. Mr. Richard Howard,
who Is at the head of the enterprise, will
continue to call on the merenants this
week, and with the proper subscriptions,
the system will ba practically inaugurated
by May Ist. He guarantees that the work
will be thoroughly done, end we hope that
all Interested will subscribe.

Athens. Ga„ April 9th.—l have long
been possessed with a desire to vlelt Ath
ene but never before has the opportunity
presented Itself, and I tlnd Georgia’s uol
veielty town, not the sleepy rural village
1 had imagined, but a busy city of eight or
ten thousand Inhabitants, with all the ap
pliances <:l progress that add to the com
torts ot home and convenience of com
merce. Water works, telephone ex
change, cotton compresses, etc. It le,
with all th!s,a typical southern city ot the
old regime, its broken surface but adding
to the ptotuief que beauty of the homes ot
Its citizens, which In tnelr elegance and
the taste displayed In their adornment
bear the Impress of wealth and culture.
By no means the least of the attractions
here to me le the state university, in the
various departments ot Which I have
spent much of my time, and I must con
fess that the appliances aud apparatus
for the Illustration ot subjects of study
and the practical turn given Instruction
urea surprise and revelation to me. Your
section le represented by Jimmie Gilbert
and Rhodes Browne, In the eophmore
class, Kle Wynne, Will Williams, and
Willie Clark, in the freshman, all from
Columbus; and Silas W. DeWolf, ot Chat
tahoochee comity, Thomas Williams, ot
Hamilton, in the junior; of all ot whom
It was gratifying to me to hear the pro
fessors speak In the highest terms both as
to’heir deportment and progress in stud
ies. From my association with "our
boys" 1 was brought in contact with a
number ot the students and I was Impress
ed with the courteous, manly bearing
which distinguish their Intercourse with
each other, the faculty and the cltizms of
Athens. They seem to have a purpose In
lite, and are preparing themselves to exe
cute it in a manner that will reflect credit
on this grand old alma mater, the names
ot whose allumul Illuminates the pages 01
Georgia’s history, aud I believe she Is now
"dropping the golden graine ot knowledge
Into the budding Intellects” of a genera
tion ot embryo statesman who will make
glorious the lutureof this state.
I have had the pleasure of meet
ing Professors L. H. Oiiurbonnler, D.
C. Barrow, jr.. H. C. Waite and 0. P. Will
cox, the latter of whom la the father of
Mr. James Willcox and brother oi Mr. D.
F. Willcox ot your city. They extended
me every courtesy and did I feel equal to
the task I would undertake a description
of the wonders that open up to a visitor In
the apparatus with which the sclentltle de
partment le furnished, and which enable
the professors to thoroughly Illustrate the
course ot etudy. My visit has convinced
me that the University of Georgia possess
es many advantages over any other simi
lar Institution in the south.
LABORATORY OF THB STATE CHEMIST.
The laboratory oi the state department
ot agriculture le located here, In charge ot
Prof. H. C. White, state chemist, with
Professors James A, Wotton and C. Mor
ton Strahan, assistants, aud Is one of the
most thoroughly equipped laboratories
lu the union. Prof. White Is an eminent
scientist, with an experience that few men
have an opportunity of acquiring In a
life lime. During last year alone he made
over 400 analyses in his official capacity
for the agricultural department. His as
sistants are graduates or the university
who i-ore off the honors of their respective
classes, so the interest ot the-agrlcultural
ists ot Georgia using commercial fertili
zers could not be Intrusted to men better
qualified to protect them, and
samples representing every ton
soln in the state are subjected to their
analytical bauds. This fact alone pre
vents the manufacturer from attempting
to Introduce a low grade teitllizer Into
Georgia.
THE EXPEBIMBNTAL I’.IBM.
Yesterday, lu company with Comml—
stoner Henderson and Prof. White, I vis
ited the experimental farm of the state,
which Is located about a mile and a halt
from the campus, ft Is In cnarge of Prof.
White, who, at the suggestion ot the com
missioner, has Inaugurated a number ot
experiments this year, the published re
sults of which must be of great value
to the farmers ot the state. The farm
Iles well, and though not fertile, Prof.
White thinks It well adapted to the exper.
Iments he proposes to make. All the ele
ments of plant food will be given a trial
singly and In various combinations, and a
full amount ot the experiments and their
results wilt be given to the annual reports
ot the department ot agriculture.
convention of ohemists.
Commissioner Henderson tells me that
he has called a convention ot chemists to
meet In Atlanta May 15th, to which
the commissioners ot agriculture of
the various sou-hern states have
been invited. The commissioners
md state chemists ot Alabama, Missis
sippi, South Carolina aud North Carolina,
I believe,have already announced their In
tention of attending. The convention will
lake Into consideration the best method
of making analyses and other questions
ot interests to scientific agriculturists. A
large attendance Is already assured, and
good will doubtless result from its con
ferences.
IMPOBTANT IMPROVEMENT IN COTTON OIL
MILLS.
I learned from a reliable source In Atlan
ta, the other day, that Dr. Pratt, an emi
nent chemist of that city, aud father ot
Mr. Pratt, the superintendent of the Co
lumbus fertilizer company, has discovered
an improvement to be made In cotton seed
oil mills, by which the yield or oil is great
ly increased, and which also Ino.eases the
ammonia In a pound of the meal. It Is
said this discovery will work a revolution
In tne cotton seed oil business.

THE VIOTOBS AT MAOON.
This morning I witnessed the practice
of hook aud ladder tquad of tne Pioneers,
who are preparing tor the Hr,-manic
tournament iu Macon next week, and I
am led to the belief that they will bear off
the first prize. I have never seen their
ladder exercise excelled. They make a
run and do the ladder exercise as pre
scribed by the rules adopted by the
Macon tire department In thirty seconds
or less time. The tquad Is under com
mand of Capt. Talmage, with Henry
Bulsse as ladder man. Wherever the
Athens tliemen go they go in style. They
carry to Macon a magnificent team ot six
horses. They are perfect beauties and
should be awarded a blue ribbon. De W.

i flleiats ot the Buena Vista railroad, who
are here tor the purpose of arranging the
Huai details with the management ot the
Central railroad prepartory to the Imme
diate construction ot their road. It ie to
be twenty-six miles long extending from
Buena Vista via Ellaville to Andersonville
where it intersects the Southwestern rail
road. The contracts have ueen awarded
for grading to Myrlck Jk Bowman, of
Macon; tuesellng to Pittman 4 Baker, of
Thomasville; lurnlshlng eiose-tiee to P.
C. Livingstone, ot Ameilcue. The con
tracts provide tor its completion by Sep
ten ber 15, 1884, and work will commence
at Andersonville at once. The Central
railroad will put dowif the Iron ae rapidly
as the road, bed le {made ready for It.
Judge Lowe aud Mujoi Miller assure me
that the next cotton crop of Marion

securing the road herself.
THE COLUMBUS GUARDS I’AIB.
H. R. Goetchlus,Eiq., le herein the in
terestoftne Columbus Guards competi
tive drill and to-day is In consultation
with the military of the olty. It is pretty
well understood that the Cadets, the
crack company ot Savannah, will enter.
The company have a meeting Monday or
Tuesday night at which final action will
oe taken. The Cadets are probably the beet
drilled company in the state and
if they go to Columbus will be very apt to
bring back the first prize. Mr. Goetchlus
Is a good worker and le making a strong
effort to Induce the company to take fav
orable action In the matter.
MAGNANIMOUS ACT.
This morning Mr. John B. Fernandez
received the following letter, enclosing a
check for the amount specified:
United States Senate, I
Washington. D. C„ Api h 4,1884. j
Mr. John B. Fernandez, Savanuan—
Dbab Sib: Mi. Humphries Cattleman, ol

person autnorized ro teoelve donations
lor the Savannah Volunteer Guards at
their pendlt g fair, 1 herewith send pay
able to your older a check tor $i()0 aw a
donation to the Guards, and will be oblig
ed 1: you will send the receipt as their
treasurer or financial agent for the same.
Tne corps te not only an ornament and
honor to Savannah lu time of peace, but
it acted nobly and gallantly during the
Wiir. lam very respectfully your obed
ient servant, Joseph E, Bbown.
This was a magnanimous act on
the part ot Senator Brown, whose
onerous duties in the councils of the
nation do not make him forgetful ot the
struggling enterprises ot hie state. Such
action on the part of our public men will
do much to encourage and build up the
military organizations of the s ate, the
necessity for which the late Cincinnati
riot Is a striking Illustration. The
thoughtful kindness of Senator Brown
meets with the gratelul appreciation of
the Guards. DeW.

There was an eclipse ot the moon last
Thursday morning. It was a total
eclipse, and not a single etar gazer In
this section observed It. It occurred rath
er too early tor most ot our people. Tne
moon entered the penumbra at 2:20a. m.,
and the eclipse was total at 4: 39 a. m. The
following remarks from the astronomical
editor of tne St. Louis Republican may be
of interest: "There Is generally seme
light discernible on the whole fnce of the
moon during a total eclipse. The rays ot
the sun In passing through the earth’s at
mosphere are actually bent toward the
moon, and some of them r ach It, even
when the earth Is directly interposed be
tween her aud tne sun so as to prevent her
from seeing any light independent of this
infection ot rays. The consequence le
that Ui most eclipses the obscured part ot
the moon le more or leas faintly visible.
Tne moon under a total , eclipse once ob
served In Loudon, on Beptembov 2,1830,
appeared of a deep blood-red color, even
during the period ot the greatest obscura
tion. During the last total eclipse seen
in St. Louis the moon presented the same
appearance at the time of total obscura
tion, so that an observer It not aware of
an eclipse would imagine that the obscu
ration was due to that event. The moon
had a rusty, copper-color appearance, ae
seen during a hazy atmosphere, and In no
wise was It the "silvery orb" of the poet
or suggestive of "gre n cheese” to the
rustle.
Another observation made by astrona
mt is is that, although in the course of, say
one hundred years, there will be no more
eclipses of the sun than of the moon, yet
there will be more visible eclipses of the
moon th hi of the sun, for the reason that
every eclipse of the moon l-i visible over
halt the world at once, while an eclipse of
the eun Is visible only over a small por
tion ot the earth. Therefore, as Bfl>’n from
any one, place, there are more eclipses of
the. uioou than of lb- sun.”

A Pleasant Event.
The christening ot Stonewall Fire
Comiiany’s new reel, ot Griffin, took
place last Thursday evening. About
half past eight the company in full
force headed by the '‘celebrated” Grif
fin silver cornet baud repaired to tin-
Nelms bouse, and at once' he enthuei
aemcommenced. Frank Fiynt opened
the order ot exercises with a few
appropriate remarks, atrerwarde In
troducing little "Pet” Smith, a sweet
young girl who made the following
address to the "Stonewall:”
"Gentl''men of Stonewall fire com
pany: She should be a happy young
lady indeed who hue won such a
warm place In your hearts to cause
you to honor her as you have me.
and I feel moet. grateful to you for
this testimonial ot your remembrance.
I have always been ae true a little
"Stonewall’’ ae any of your members.
Your every undertaking in the past
has been watched by me with warm
est interest and in the future yo«r
"pet” will look upon No two as a
part of herself, and if you do not
want to see a tear dim h> r eyes never
carry the "Mattie” to defeat. May
your "pet” run over the course ae
light as my wieheecanepee:! It. Miy
your feet be ae swift as the thougut
of love. May your hearts ever beat
with joy and gladness and may the
victor’s crown always deck your
brow.”
The handsome reel is named on
one side "Mattie” and on the other
"Our Pet.”
Little "Pet Smith” is about ten or
twelve years of age, and has always
been the favorite of every one whom
she met. She is pretty, facinating
and in short, the "pet” of the whole
brigade. Speeches were made by R.
T. Daniel, W. 0. Beeks, Frank Fiynt
aud Foreman T. D. Rockwell.

Chipley must furnish splendid graz
ing grounds for the cattle of that
neighborhood. We clip this: Con
siclerable complaint exists about the
stock law of the ton n. Parties living
several miles from town come here
and find their cows or calves in the
pound. It is a source ot severe an
noyance as well ae expense to the
owners. Can’t the town council rem
edy the matter in some way ?
We had some frost in thie section
Thursday morning, though not
enough to do much damage to the
fruit or vegetables.
The street car recently put in oper
ation in Columbus is quite a gem.
The line traverses Broad street and
also through the prettiest portion of
the town. It gives Columbus quite a
city air, and furnishes additional at
traction to the fair Queen of the Ohat
tahooche.
A four year old negro child was
burned to death last w >ek, on C. W.

Mr. T. H. Kimbrough has recently
purchased three fine Jerseys, which
sets him back something over two
hundred dollars.
Tha surveyors hive finished the
upper line to Greenville and will at
once finish the lower line from Trin
ity to Greenville and submit the two
surveys to the authorities of the road.
It is not known positively now what
route the road will take, but many
think the upper route the more de
sirable because it will cost less.
Sulphur Springs has daily mail.
There was a man on the streets this
week who wanted two divorces—one
for himself and the other for his wife.
The east winds have evidently done
serious damage in that house.
Mr. Robert Davis, having sold out
hie stock of goods will soon move to
Columbus to enter the shoe business.
We regret to lose him as a merchant
and as a citizen and trust that he
may succeed in his new field ot work.

An Unnatural Gift.
Hun'smile, Ala,, Independent,
Last Friday night, a very short
while after the 2 p. m. train from
Chattanooga passed Huntsville, some
one rang the bell of Mrs. Lloyd’s
boarding house this Bide of the de
pot. When the party responded to
the call, there was no one at the door
and the person who went to the door
saw a bundle of something. It was
supposed that the person ringing the
bell had forgotten something and
gone back for it. Accordingly the
bundle was picked up and carried
inside when io and behold I a strange
cry was heard from tne midst of the
pile of clothing, covering, etc. Thus
a bouncing baby boy was discovered.
Pinned across the breast ot bundle of
flesh, clothing and so on was the fol
lowing:
‘‘Please carry this child to the
Presbyterian minister’s home.”
Within the strange collection was
the following note:
“Rsv. Mr. and Mrs.
Kind Friends—l leave my babe
iu your charge, because you are Obrie
tians, and if it’s not convenient for
you to keep him, please get him a
home with some kind lady of your
church. I am not able to support
him and myself and may not live. If
I don’t reclaim him in eix months
you know I was never able to do so,
Browneville aud Girard.
From the Free Frets.
Miss Sallis Maloy, of Browneville,
died on Thursday last of consump
tion. Thus passes away a faithful
and humble Christian.
We hear of many persons In the
surrounding country who propose
moving to Girard to enjoy the bene
fits of the Peabcdy school.
Died, at his residence in Girard, on
Thursday morning, April 10th, after
a lingering illness, Joseph L, Mar
tin, in the 34th year of his age.
There is a movement on foot to or*
ganize a building aud loan associa
tion in our town. Untold advantages
will be derived from an organization
of this character, and we hope soon
to see it in full blast.
Mr. Thomas Hart, one of the pio
neer citizens of Chambers, and later
of Lse county, who about a year ago
moved to Texas, was one day last
week called out of his house, shot
three times and killed by a Texas
cowboy. His wife, so a dispatch
states, also died soon after the death
of her husband. Most likely Mrs.
H.’s death was caused by grief. It
will be remembered that a son—and
a noble one, too, Mr. H. D. Hart—
was, ’not long since, murdered by
young Abercrombie. Truly this is a
sorrowful series ot calamities to a
good and worthy family. 1

Wright, who lives on the McDougald
place In Ohattahooohee county, some
twelve miles from the city, had shot and
killed a negro Dimed Jones Akxinder.
The reporters efforts to find some relia
ble white man directly from Ohattahoo
etu e county, who w,.s able to give lull
particulars of the killing were fruitless.
The facts as obtained from the best possi
ble authority are ae follows:
Early yesletday morning Mr. John
Wright, a brother ot Mr. Bob Wright,
turned his mules Into the pasture, among
them one which had been rented to Jonee
Alexander. Kiiortly afterwards the negro
came upon the scene and demanded
to know what had become ot the mule
Mr. John Wright told him that he had
turned It In the pasture, whereupon the
negro made some Insolent remark, the re
sult of which was blows between litmsell
and Mr. Wright. The negro had a piece
of rail, and was making a savage assault
upon Mr. W i Ight when Mr. Bob Wright
came up and snot him In the brent. He
died from the effects ot the wound In a
short time.
The negro bore a bud character, and bad
ti eq tent difficulties wltu other hands on
the larm.
Mr. W right Is a young man well known
In this city. He la a pleasant, honest and
highly respected citizen. We regret to
learn of the unfortunate affair exceeding
ly. At l ist aoocuut no anest had been
