The following wo clip from the Talbot

young men:
“Col. J. W. Tinsley, with the Virginia

tiously around this way last Sunday and
Monday. Ho was over here on a serious
business, and didn’t want anybody to
know it, so don’t toff on him. Ho is a clev
er young man and means no harm. Ho
could not be otherwise, however, being
connected with the ‘’Virginia Store.” Will
be glad to see him again.
“Dr. George Grimes, another of Colum
bus’ rising young men, was in our town at
the same time. He had been called out to
see Mr. Wm. Carter, and stopjxxl here as
ho wont back. Dr. Grimes is, indeed, a
most excellent young man, and we think
Columbus ought to bo proud of him. Wo
hope he can iind time to come to see us
again.

Pneumonia.
Pneumonia* is still very prevalent in
Brownoville, and gives no sign of abating.
Avery large number of oases are reported,
and it is feared that some of them will ter
minate fatally. This terrible disease has
prevailed in the towns across the river for
some time. The unseasonable weather has
contributed largely towards causing it.
Recently there has been much of it in Co
lumbus. The City Physician, in his lost
report to Council, speaks of the great in
crease in sickness. He has been remarka
bly fortunate in his treatment of patients.
It is to be hoped that the prevalence of
sickness will not long continue, and that
the city will maintain that fame for health
which it has so long enjoyed.

We have reliable information from the
lower portion of Russell county, Ala., that
the storm of Monday night was quite
severe in that section. Tho gin-house and
negro cabins on the plantation of Col. S.
C. Lindsay were blown down, and several
negroes were more or less injurod; also,
his stables were destroyed, and a valuable
mule was killed.
Two miles west of the above place, on
the plantation of Mrs. Zach Gordon, the
storm raged fiercely. Here, also, a number
of houses were blown down and other
damage done. No lives lost.
Annual Parade of Fire Department.
BBUUTED CONTENTS.
LARGE CROWDS AND GOOD FEELING.
mTIVITY AT NIGHT.
■ ....
Yesterday was a gala day for our fire
men. The annual parade of tho Fire De
partment occurred, and it was witnessed
by one of the largest crowds soon in this
city for many a day. The companies
looked their best and were out in strong
numbers. Everybody seemed to take a
holiday in the afternoon, and the sole object
of attraction seemed to be the firemen and
their contests.
At three o'clock in the afternoon the va
rious companies left their engine houses
and repaired, with their engines to Troup
street, where the procession was formed
by the at half past
throe o’clock. Tin* procession, when form
ed, proceeded to Bryan street, through
Bryan to Broad, and down Broad. As it
moved down the principal business street
of the city it presented a fine spectacle.
The sidewalks were full of men, ladles and
children. Every window was crowded,
and the whole street was thronged with
spectators.
The procession was one of the largest
ever seen in tho city. It was proceeded by
the time-honored fife and drum, and to
this martial music most gaily marched.
First came a detachmont from the po
lice force, ten in number, headed by Mar
shal Robinson on a spirited steed.
Next came Chief Engineer W. H. Wil
liams, and Messrs. Etheridge and Francis,
his Assistants.
In front of tho companies came trusty
old No. l, her fine steamer beautifully
decked in flowers and drawn by four fine
bays, which were driven by Mr. A. Gam
el. Behind the engine stood Jake Bur
rus, ready to fire her up and make her
tremble beneath the inightv power of
steam. Then came the company, com
posed mostly of middle-aged men. They
were out twenty-nine strong.
No. 1 was followed by tho dashing and
chivalrie Young America No. 5. Their
beautiful steamer, “Old Rock,” was
adorned with wreaths of flowers, and was
tho object of general admiration. It was
drawn by four grays. The company is
composed of our young men, most of
whom are unmarried. They are full of
spirit and energy, and make capital fire
men. They were thirty-eight strong, and
had on their handsome new uniforms.
Rescue Hook and Ladder Company
came next in the line. This company is
composed of middle-aged men, and was
pronounced by several in our hearing to
bo the handsomest on the ground. It had
out twenty-five .men. The truck has been
recently repaired and painted, ami looked
well. The men wore the new helmet caps
which are pretty and remarkably service
able.
Next came Mechanics' No. C. This com
pany is composed of mechanics from our
railroad shops—men of muscle, will and
determination. They were out thirty-five
strong, and drew their faithful old hand
engine with a perceptible pride.
Washington No. 6, composed of some of
our best colored citizens, came lost. They
were out sixty-four strong, and looked
just as happy as possible. This is one of
the most serviceable companies in the De
partment.
The procession hultod when the first part
of it reached the corner of Broad and Bt.
Clair streets; the rear of the line had not
reached the corner of Broad and Randolph
streets at that time. The companies were
all drawn up in a line, and tho officers of
each advanced to the center of the street,
where the rejiortswere read to His Honor,
the Mayor, and a committee from the
Council, consisting of Aldermen Andrews,
Blanchard, Grimes, Clark and Brannon.
Chief Engineer Williams and Assistants
Etheridge and Francis were also on the,
Inspecting Committee.
Reports were read from each of the com
panies, and, without exception, they are in
good condition,

After all these reports had been read by
Alderman Flournoy, Mayor Mcllhenny
addressed the Department in a few ap
propriate remarks. He stated his satis
faction at the inspection, and paid a glow
ing tribute to the efficiency of the Depart
| meat If every city had as good a one,
i the rates of insurance would to almost
nominal. The success of our liremen is
remarkable, and to them the city owes a
debt of gratitude.
At the close of his neat and well-timed
remarks, his Honor was warmly ap
plauded.
I Chief Engineer Williams then gave or
| dors to prepare for the contest, which was
j to take place immediately.
THE CONTEST.
The contest was then in order, and was
entered into with spirit and zeal by all the
companies. The conditions of the contest
were as follows:
Run from Proer A Illges’ corner tom-
tom In front of J. Ennis' hardware store
(100 yards), detach two (8) sections (100
feet) hose from reel, make connection to
engine, and throw wutor through hose and
pipe. Two-whool junior to bo used; 300
foot hose to be on jumper; not loss than
(10) ten or more than (16) sixteen men al
lowed to run.
The following gentlemen were selected
AS
judges :
For No. I.— Peter Freer.
For No. 5.—W. L. Salisbury.
For No. 6.—W. L. Clark.
Young America put her engine at the
cistern and prepared her hose for the first
run. Everything was put in order and
tho boys lookod eager for the fun. The
signals wore not properly understood,
ttough, and soon tho foreman, thinking
that tho signal to start had been
given, yelled through his trumpet
and away sailed the swift footed
youths. They made an admirable run,
put on their hose beautifully, and threw a
stream of water. All this was done in j
twenty-eight seconds. The boys were ju
bilant, but their joy was turned into sad-:
ness when the committee informed them
that they had,run without the proper signal j
being given, and that their good raw could •
not count. This wad undoubtedly the fin- j
est ever marie in the city. It was decided j
to allow the boys anther turn. Meanwhile j
No. 1 drew up and got ready. Her men i
made a good run, and finished ull the ma- j
neuvres in thirty-three and a half seconds, j
Mechanics’, No. 6, came next. This com-!
pany was the favorite with those who bet.:
Much was expected of the brawny arms
and stalwart frames. There was consid
erable disappointment when the toys run
and made it in thirty-five seconds, thus |
falling behind No. 1.
Young America had recovered her juven
ile strength by this time and was all right
for a second run. Everything was put in j
order and 41m signal given. The boys ran
beautifully; they came down to it "for
dear life,” and as their reel flew along, No. i
1 look<xl pale, and could have been bought
very cheap. No. 5 had the victory in her \
hands, but the toys at the nozzle grow ex-'
cited in the hurry of screwing it on; the
water came before its time, and all was
ruined. With a little coolness No. 5 would
have strutted off the ground with tho
plume of victory in her cap. The run was
liuely put up, and the toys ought to be
proud of it. They are the best runners in
tho Department, and if they will just keep
cool next year, we will put our last copper
on them. The last run was made in about
twenty-eight seconds. The ambitious ]
young firemen felt badly over their sad j
failure, but had the proud assurance that,
if the “darned thing hadn’t slipped," they
would have left all rivalry behind.
Try again, No. 5, and if you don’t come i
out. ahead, we will not prophecy again.
A prize of two silver goblets was offered i
to the two squads of Washington Fire!
Company. They both ran finely, but both |
failed to make connections with their en
gine. The prize was awarded to the com-;
pany, and will to contested for by the two 1
squads at some future time.
After the unsuccessful running of the j
colored firemen the day’s sports were
over. Everybody went homo pleased with j
the pretty spectacle. The toys of No. 1
walked a little high, but wo are all human, j
Young America looked slightly drooped, j
but felt like she was as good as the best, j
THE SUFFER.
The fun did not conclude with tho day. j
Tho richest and most enjoyable part of
the anniversary was after tea, at tho ele
gant Armory of the City Light Guards.
Here the citizens had prepared a feast for
tho gallant red jackets, and by 8 o'clock
the room was filled with a jolly crowd. A
long table stretched across the room and
was laden with refreshments of various
kinds. lee cream, lemonade and every
thing g<Hii was there in profuse abun
dance,. and withstood a continued attack
from a large number of healthy appetites.
It was pleasant to s<*e the men eat. They
exhibited the beauty of true, uncramped
enjoyment.
We noticed Mayor Mcllhenny ami sev
eral aldermen present. They seemed to
enter fully into the general festivity. Al
derman Ledsinger was disguised finely,
i and did not wear his accustomed look of
j official dignity.
After the supper had been fully enjoyed
the companies wore called to order to hear
the award of the committee. They simply
gave the facts and declined to make any
award, as no rules hud been given thorn.
Chief Engineer Williams stated that Re
cording to the usual rules, ho was com
pelled to award the first prize to No 1.
John Peabody, Esq., delivered the prize.
It was a magnificent chromo called
“Asia,” representing a female figure,
which portrayed the peculiar but magnifi
cent beauty of that ancient land.
Mr. Peabody's speech was fine, and we
wish wp had space to give it. It abound
ed in pith, wit and apt illustration, and
took finely. The prize was nveived by
President Coleman, who made a speech in
which ho detailed the history and services
of the Columbus Fire Department in fine
style, and returned many thanks for the
prize. He delivered it to Foreman Bran
non, who received it with a most happy
speech. His effort was warmly applauded
and pleased everybody.
Mr. Peabody presented the second prize
to Central Mechanics No. 6. This prize
was a pair of rich chromos, “On a Strike”
and “Clear the Track.” They were re
ceived with a sensible and short speech by
Vice-President A. J. Nix. Young America!
received some very handsome compli-j
! ments, which were worth fully as much as
. * !
I a prize.
After the prizes were awarded, there
j was some rich fun. A fine string band
| was in attendance, and a good, old-fash
ioned “stag” dance was enjoyed. Of all
j the dances we ever saw. it was the richest,
j Scenes which beggar description trans
pired. Jake Burras was in his glory, and
as a modern belle would sav, “waltzed
divivinely." Such fun as was had there is
rare. It was real enjoyment. Such au oc
casion is seldom seen. The festivity was
kept up to a lab' hour. Care was banished,
trouble was forgotten, and every man in
the room was as gay as a barefooted
school-boy.
Late at night they all went home in high
glee. We are proud of our Fire Depart
ment and the whole-souled, gallant men
who compose it. Long may it prosper;
and may we all live to see many anniver
] saries as pleasant as that of yesterday.

Why Will Ye Die?—Death, or what is
worse, is the inevitable result of continued
suspension of the menstrual flow. It is a
condition which should not to trifled with.
Immediate relief is the only safeguard
jigainst constitutional ruin. In all cases
of suppression, suspension or other irreg- j
ularitv of the “courses,” Dr. J. Bradiieki’s
Female Regulator is the only sure reme
: dy. It acts by giving tone to the nervous
j centres, improving the blood, and determ
j ining directly to the org uis of menstrua
tion. It is a’legitimate scription, and
I the most intelligent do*-,.,,-* use it. Pre

way peculiar to their sex, may be able to

not only to relieved, but that they may be
restored to health and strength.
With my kindest regards.
