There will bo a meeting of tho Friends of Temperance iu tho lecture room of the Baptist church ou Tuesday ovouing at 71 o'clock.

The | ^ ladies aro particularly requested to be j l m > present. The Appropriation to the Columbus In dustrial Association. la view of the fact that we have had throo Fairs, which have wonderfully illus trated the importance of Columbus and addod greatly to her reputation and busi ness ; that a flairs have been managed bolter than any similar corporation in Georgiu; that the Directors have not only mude no money, but reully given it well us their time; that they are among our most ostoemod citizens and largest tax payors; that the city has never cent, while all others in the South have contributed thousands, we indeed surprised that the City Council dhl not, two weeks ago, give the Fair Association the $3,500 appropriation asked for tho Fair next fall, without reference. As it is, wo trust the commit tee will report favorably, and secure the grandest exhibition this fall ever seen in Goorgiu. Macon, Augusta, Bavuunuh and Atlanta huve given their Fuirs from $30,000 to $30,000 ; Eufaula gave $10,- 000. Columbus should not hesitate about giving $3,500, uftor tho Association has dono so much without any outside aid aud bus proved such a benefit and honor to our city. This should be a matter of city pride. Every class is interested. It brings visitors, trade and money, and is a great social institution which cannot be ovor-Gstiinuted. Every citizen should bo proud of our Fairs. They compare favorably with any we saw during a pro tracted tour West, aud in some respects wore superior. We trust Council will be animated by sufllciont city pndo to grant the meagre appropriation, and not allow the Directors to bear the eutiro harden. Sudden Heath of Mrs. It. S. Porter. This estimable lady, tho wife of Mr. D. 8. Porter, tho well known foreman of tho Sun job aflice, died suddenly, yesterday nfternoou, of heart disease. 8ho had beou visiting not an hour hoforo, and shortly after returning home received tbo futal attack. »She was born in Bridgeport, Conn., and lmd roached tho age of iifty- nine. Her umiden name was Miss E. L. Rossiter. Bho was among tho earliest sottlors of Columbtin, and ouo of tho fow who took refuge iu tho Oglothorpe House when it was rumored tho Indians wore ad vancing ou tho villogo. Bho has seen Co lumbus grow from a few shanties to tho proportions of a city, and hor own life has been ouo of usefulness. Being an urdont Episcopalian and desirous of doing good, she was mainly instrumental in establish ing the parish school for poor children, which is the pride of tho Columbus church. Tho highest praiso that can be givou any woman belongs to- her, aud that is, “Sho mude home happy." Twice murriod, sho has mauy children and grnndcbildreu to lamont her loss and houor her memory.

Turner, at llurtville, ou the Mobilo AGirurd Rail road, was broken open, aud goods, as far as can bo ascertained, to the amount of about $ 10(1, stolen aud carried away. Tho thief or thieves (aud it is confidently bo- liovad there wero more than ouo) seemed dosirous of sottiug up shop ou their own hook, as Mr. Turner has missed some- thiug from almost ovory article iu his hotiHo. Sumo fow days siuco, circum stances caused Mr. Turnor to suspicion one Cola Butt as ouo of the guilty parties ; whereupon he was arrested, aud a prelim inary examination had before Justice John A. Wicker, at llurtville, ou Wednes day last, which resulted iu tho defendant being held to bail in the sum of $200. The bond was givon, several frueduien becoming his sureties.

Tub Cotton Situation.—Including over land, If as much cotton Is reoelvo i tho present season from this date as there was last year, the crop of 1873-4 will amount, In round numbers, to 4.260,000 bales. The‘probabilities Indicate more rath-r than less. Four and a halt mil lions aro tho outside limits ot estimates. If Columbus gets as much to Sept. 1st from this week us sho did last year, hor receipts will toot up nearly 61,000 bales. Last year during tho remainder ol the season, wo receive i nearly 7.000 bales. More cotton Is reported In the country than thon. and river men say there arc 8.000 to 3,006 more oalea to come here from that direction. Our manulactorlcs aro drawing cotton from a quarter hitherto unknown to our market. Thus eighty bales wero warehoused yesterday which came from Dawson, Randolph county, on the Southwestern Kal • road. Our cotton milts will havo takm some 9.000 bales at tho expiration of the year, Tbo receipts do not Indicate any ground for an advance of price, and none lor a decline, for tho world will take four and a half million bales of American cotton at the present prices. The sales have been heavy this week, tho largest account being that or Northern Spin ners. Fully one-half of our large stock is fully advanoed upon. It has largely been decreased by shipments this week. Tho gonernl representation Is that farmers have planted moro small grain than slnco the war, and will cultivate more corn and less cot ton, and use Tower fertilizers. They will pre pare better a less acreage than heretofore. Countrymen are endeavoring to get out of debt, and to do this they will work hurder and pursuo a wiser policy.
