Pine Knot KprliiK*.
We call very special attention to our
little neighboring watering place—Pine
Knot—within eighteen miles of town.
Pure health-giving air, best sulphur
chalybeate water, and its unrivalled swim
ming baths, that Caligula and Nero would
iiavo envied and copied had they lived
long enough to enjoy its delights. We
hear several charming families arc al
ready there for the summer “tenting.”
Mite Meeting Postponed.
The mite meeting of tho First Baptist
Church, which was to have come oft this
afternoon, has ton postponed until next
Wednesday night, when it will take place
at Dr. Mason’s residence, on Jackson
street. We like these mite meetings. They
are invariably pleasant and are said to be
the source of no little benefit to thechurch.
Those who have never attended should go
and see the way in which they are con
ducted.
Transient Travel.
The travel on the railroads leading to
Columbus seems to bo somewhat on the
increase. The summer travel has set in.
All who are able to go off to resorts are
now doing so. The trains connect so nice
ly hero that we do not see half the stran
gers that pass through the city. The pas
senger depot is so far out that its din and
excitement never disturbs tho city in the
least. People come and go and never see
Columbus. They cast an idle gaze in the
direction of the city and form their opin
ions from this observance. What a pity it
is that our railroads do not run into tho
heart of the city.
Party to the Senior C’lun*.
For several years past it has been custo
mary for tbe Trustees of our public schools
to give a party to the graduating class
soon after their connection with the schools
was severed. These entertainments were
formerly given at tho public school build
ing. This yoar tho Trustees determined
to give the party at tho residence of Mr. J.
Marion Estes. It will come off to-night.
The graduating class consists of fifteen
young ladies. They with a few invited
guests will bo present. All similar occa
sions in tho past have been remarkably
pleasant, and wo are sure that tho one to
night will bo over memorable.
Wo return many thanks for a kind invi
tation to be present. It will afford us pleas
ure to comply.
Refreshing.
While the raius of Sunday ami Monday
were refreshing to people in the city and
cooling to the atmosphere, they wore still
more grateful to the farmers. The rains
seem to have been general in Muscogee
and adjoining counties and everywhere
they foil when they were needed. The
drouth had continued for several weeks,
and tho men who wore so hopeful and
confident n month ago began to look
gloomy, and to talk of tho probability of
an ultimate failure after the most luring
promises of succoss. To them the show
ers, light as they were, must have been
delightful. Tho dry earth drank in the
cooling draught and vegetation began
anew its interrupted growth. Corn had
begun to suitor, and in some localities it
was permanently injured by tho dryness.
Luckily the damage had not proceeded
far when it was stopped by a most timely
rain. The clouds look promising again,
and a good rain is probablo at an early
day. Far mors, those who began to grow
despondent, are again hopeful, and all
seem now to look forward to the prospect
with pleasure.
With good seasons all will be well, and
the farmers of tho country will begin to
be as free and independent as they wore
in tho “halcyon days of yore.”

A \p Pfo|t*r|—.Coin mini* and Atlanta
to It* Connected by tbl* Road—
Hurrla and Meriwether
Couatle* Interested.
From all that wo can Bathor from our
exchanges ami from our friends In Harris
and Morriwothor counties, a determined
effort is being mado to push tho comple
tion of tho North and South ltallroad on
to Atlanta. Propositions have been made
to capitalists of Atlanta to build tho road
from Hamilton, the present terminus, on
to Atlanta, through or near Greenville,
Meriwether county. This move Is mado
by tho people along tho contemplated line
of the road, and tho citizens of Atlanta.
Columbus Is not called upon to givn or
subscribe ono cent, the people feeling that
we havo done our full part in subscribing
$200,000 in tho first place.
We arc not advised about the exact sta
tus of the ease, but wo learn the matter is
in tho bunds of competent and determined
men, who have agreed to push tho com
pletion of tho road to Atlanta. The State
of Georgia has never done anything for
this part of tho State in the way of inter
nal improvements, and it now lies in its
power to give us the North and South
Railroad, and thus allow us to build up
the country in anil around Columbus. Tho
entire Western and Southwestern part of
Georgia will bo benoiittod by this outer
prise, if properly managed and directed.
We wish to see this project carried out,
and it will add to tho wealth of Atlanta,
Columbus, and tho whole country along
tho line.
IVoUe.
It Is pleasant to boo an exuberance of
spirits ami gaiety in anyone. Noise is
generally indicative of enjoyment and
festivity; but notwithstanding this is true,
our colored friends carry their frolick
someness a little too far, and demonstrate
their joy in a manner which interferes
seriously with the peace and qui&t of the
oity. A few days ago they had an excur
sion to Montgomery, and about one dozen
of them arose about 3 o’clock in the morn
ing, evidently for the purpose of arousing
all who intended to go on the grand “scur
sion.” They not only succeeded in doing
this, but about half the people in the city
had their slumbers broken by the noise of
these midnight revellers. They procured
an old drum and two or three brass horns,
with which they commenced a triumphal
march through the lower part of tho city.
Such a commingling of noises had not
ton heard since the terrible confusion at
ancient Babel. People awoke to imagine
all sorts of horrible tilings. Some thought
the city was in flames; others that some
foreign foe had just arrived and begun the
work of destruction. Tho cause of the
noise would not have been known if It had
not been accompanied by various exhorta
tions to get up and get ready for the train.
The drum-beating and general hub-bub
was continued from 3 o'clock without ces
sation until 8 a. m. During all this time
several hundred persons were deprived of
sleep, and forced to hear a very unpleas
ant combination of harsh and disagreea
ble sounds.
This is only one instanco.Oft sa, who n
the colored congregations are returning
from church, or from public meetings,
their hilarity is rather too exuberant, and
in tho still hours of the night is echoed far
and wide over the city. Of course no harm
is meant by this noise. It comes from a
feeling of happy freedom and gaiety. If
the colored people knew how great a dis
turbance they sometimes created, they
would not do so. They like to bo jolly
and of all tilings earthly they love music
best, and no matter how inopportune the
time or the surroundings, if there is any
possible way of having music they will
have it.
If anything is calculated to make a man
lose his patience, it is to be awakened in
tho “stilly night” and kept awake by a
bedlam-like noise and confusion. If it
were not made in such a good humor, the
rude musicians would probably be invited
to tho Mayor’s Court to answer questions
about disorderly conduct.
Columbia* Style.
Not long since wo spoke of the stylish
appearance of Columbus ladies, and in jus
tice to the other sex we think the same com
pliment ought to be extended to tho “dear
men.” There seems to be a great uniform
ity in their style, and in nothing is this
more noticeable than in tho matter of col
lars. The most casual observer may have
noticed how much deep, turned down col
lars are worn, and how seldom it is that a
standing collar Is seen. Those with pro
truding points are now phenomena. This
fact may appear singular, but we think
a probable explanation is to be found in
tho following conversation recently unin
tentionally overheard:
“Yes, you may come again next Sunday
evening, Henry, dear, but”—and she hesi
tated. “What Is it, darling ? Have I given
you pain?” he asked, os she remained si
lent. “You didn’t moon to, I’m sure,” she
responded, “but next time please don’t
wear one of those collars with the points
turning outward; they scratch so.”

A call to Atlanta forced him to close the
exercises a week sooner than he expected.
The school for the past term has been in
a flourishing condition. Prof. Slade, on
closing tho exercises yesterday, made a
pretty little talk to his pupils, replete with
good advice and affection. The boys all
anticipate a happy vacation, and when
tho next term rolls around they will be
glad to return to their beloved teacher
and pursue their studies under his kind

Yostorday the closing exorcises of the
public schools of this city came off. The
trustees visited botli the irls ami the

All were present except Messrs. Salis
bury and Dexter.
In each of the rooms some member of
the board mado a few remarks, express- '
ing approbation at the exercises, and
hopes for.the success of the schools.
These exercises were interesting, and
most of the children allowed great pro- \
ticiency. In both tho schools the marks i
of the pupils wore road out, and also the
names of all who wore entitled to places <
on the roll of honor. The average schol
arship of the school was five, and several
members of tho Board expressed great i
satisfaction at the result. This rounds of
the Board were pleasant. They found the
schools in a prosperous condition, and the
closing examinations were good. Tho at
tendance at the schools for the past term
has been good.
THE BOYS’ SCHOOL
is under the control of Prof. H. W. Battle,
assisted by Miss Josephine Brooks, Miss
Emma Pond, and Miss Williford.
The number in attendance for tho past
term has been about three hundred.
Tho school is in line condition.

pupils in attendance during the past term. .
Tho school is in the best of order.
Both of these schools are under the
efficient management of Prof. George M.
Dews. They are doing a great work
among our people, anil constitute ono of
the chief ornaments of our city.
MORE SI BKCRIBERH.
The Time* IncrenMlng in (Strength and
Popularity.
An old adage says that unless “we blow
our own horn, nobody will blow it for us.”
We are not acting solely upon that adage,
but we feel grateful to our friends, and
cannot forego the opportunity to express
to the public our thanks to those men who
have come to our aid. Yesterday wo re
ceived eighteen daily and seven weekly
subscribers to the Times. It is gratifying
to us, for it serves to teach us that with
the people tho Times continues popular,
and in return for their favor we promise
to give them a good paper, and a paper
that can bo relied on in all emergencies.
We are hazardous enough to base our sue- j
oess upon the people, and trusting to pub
lic favor, in the interest of law, order and
peace, we are sure that the future will find
The Times a fixture in Columbus.

A MAD DOG!
CHILD INJURED BY A MAD DOG A SHOT
GUN IN NEED—THE DOG IS SLAIN,
AND THE CHILD
Dog days are upon us in all their glory.
It is customary and usual for mad dogs to
remain quiet and docile until the sultry
days of August. An exception to the
above rule was manifested Monday even
ing, in the lower part of town, by the sud
den appearance in the midst of a party of
children playing, of a regular bull dog in
furiated by hydrophobia. Without the j
slightest ceremony, and without any ap
parent cause, the dog made a leap f< >r a
little fivo year old child, and before aid
could be rendered tho child was bitten by
the dog. The injuries were slight, and at
last accounts tho child was doing well.
No harm has yet resulted from the bite,
and it is believed by the physician in
charge that the poison was extracted too
soon for it to take effect.
A double-barrel shot gun was soon pro
cured, and the canine was speedily dis
patched, much to the relief of anxious
mothers in that neighborhood.
Wo like dogs, for they have noble attri
butes that some men do not possess; but
we think it about time the dog law was
enforced. It is highly more important
that mad dogs should be arrested than
that tho grunting hog should suffer im
prisonment on account of his rooting pro
pensities. If one law or the other is a
dead letter upon the City Code, let the hog
go free and take up the dog.

PUBLIC SCHOOL EXHIBITION.
Till: OPERA IIOVI4E CROWDED!
Flat* Entertainment— -The Even! of the
Menton!
Last night tho annual Exhibition of our
Public Schools came off at tho Opera
House in tho presence of ono of the largest
audiences over assembled in Columbus.
Tho occasion was one long to bo romom
borod in this city. Almost every available
seat in tho Opera House was reserved a
day previous to the Exhibition, and before
dark, crowds had gathered there.
Prof. Dews stated to tho audience a few
facts about our schools, after the opening
song. The boys’ school has been in ope
ration for eight years; the girls’ school
has boon in operation seven years. Ihe
average attendance on the two schools
lias been 650 pupils annually. Of these
350 have attended tho girls’ school and
300 the boys’ school. Over 2,000 different
children have attended the schools, the
cost to tho city per year for eaeh # pupil is
abouisH.
The colored schools have been in opera
tion three years.
The white schools have receivod $7,000
from tho Peabody fund; tho colored
schools have received SI,BOO from tho same
fund.
At the ordinary rate of progress it
would require eleven years to complete
the course of the schools.
The grade of the Girls’ Higli School is
equal to that of almost any female college
in tho land.
The present graduating class from the
High School is the first ever turned out.
The graduating classes of tho High
School and the German School were
ranged on the stage. Mr. B. F. Coleman,
President of the Board of Trustees, read
them an address, and then delivered to
each and all of them diplomas. The fol
lowing Is a list of tho graduating classes:

Magic Lantern, Wax Works of Madam Jarley.
The entertainment was the finest of the
klin I we ever saw. The children were beau
tifully dressed and showed the results of
long and careful drilling in their motions.
In the Calisthenics, the graduating class
was dressed in white with pink bodices
and normandies.
The girls of the primary school were
dressed in pure white, and the girls of the
grammar school in white droses and blue
s;icks.
The boys were dressed in black pants,
white jackets with red sashes and caps.
The Calisthenics were beautifully per
formed—better than wo ever saw them be
fore.
The Fan Drill was tiie richest take-off
on female affection ever put on the boards.
Madame Jariey’s Wax Works were
finely presented, and Miss Georgia Mdl
henny as Madame Jarley was Inimitable.
She possesses great talent and was one of
tiie chief attractions of the entertainment.
Ail the wands, dumb-bells, clubs and
rings used in the exercises were beauti
fully ornamented with gilt paper, and the
effect was quite pleasant.
Even tho smallest children in the school
displayed a wonderful skill in going
through all the intricacies of marches and
calisthenic motions.
The May Pole Dance was beautifully ex
ecuted under the leadership of Miss Sal lie j
Peabody, who thoroughly understood her
part.
Miss Lizzie Curtis and Miss Anna Berry
led the girls of tiie High School in their
Calisthenics.
In tho pantomime Miss Belie Abell
seemed to be the loader, and to be thor
oughly acquainted phase® of fa
cial expression. The march of the girls
and the movements of the boys with the
rings were views all admired. In fact, tho
whole exhibition was considered very fine
by all. It certainly reflects great credit
on the teacher under whose management
it was given. Everything was well man
aged, and nothing was over-done.
We have seen many school exhibitions,
but we never saw ono carried out as well,
or one in which the children were so
handsomely dressed or so well disciplined,
as that at the Opera House last night.
1 We were proud of our schools when we
saw it. We were proud of our peerless
girls, who looked their prettiest; and of
our handsome, manly boys, who did honor
to the occasion.
There are cities in the State that have
more schools than we, and perhaps more
children engage in their exhibitions, but
we are confident that in no city in Georgia
has a public school exhibition ever been
given which surpassed that witnessed by
fifteen hundred people last night in this
city. Music for the occasion was furnish
ed by Mrs. H. W. Battle, Prof. Chase, Ste
phen Moore, Esq., William Thomas, Esq.,
and others.
About half-past eleven the exhibition
closed, and all went home happy. The
little girls in white and pink flitted about
all during the evening. lilH l fairies from a
brighter, happier clime. Long live our
schools, their teachers and the charming
maidens who attended them. The boys
can take care of themselves.

What Columbus ought to be proud of
her public schools.
Tho Summer tourist is now packing up

guides.
Talbotton commencement begins a week
from next Sunday, and Columbus boys
will be happy.
There are fewer lawyers in Columbus
than in any city in Georgia of the same
size.
Oh! for a land whero the mosquito
does not “wind his mellow horn,” and
where the morning lullaby of tiie black
berry maiden is not heard.
When a Columbus man gets very badly
bored with tho dullness of tho times he
just walks out a half a mile to the depot
and sees a train come in.
Despite all the ridicule of dignified hu
manity, quoits still hold an undisputed
sway in this city.
Tho “intelligent compositor" made us
say Bishop Tyeiro for Bishop McTyolrc.
Warehousemen are having an oasy time
now and their employees enjoy the lux
ury of doing nothing.
The clerks seemed to have dropped the
plan of having tho stores closed before
sundown. Their arguments seem to have
failed to convince tho authorities, who
control such matters.
The Alston Warehouse is said to bo the
coolest place in the city. A fine breeze is
continually blowing there.
Watermelons are begining to come in on ■
the wagons instead of the railroads, and
prices are descending from dollars to
cents.
A young man of our acquaintance says
he does not object to pin-backs at all. He
rather likes the style, but he wishes that
the young ladies who ask him to play j
croquet would not have them so tight that !
he has to stoop down and fix the balls for ‘
them. This is a utilitarian view of a beau-!
tifui custom.
Whitewash is very generally used in the
city this Summer, and everything looks !
neat and clean. The lime trade must be
improving here.
The inhabitants of Brownsville are in- i

Western Railroad authorities, which pro-1
hibits foot passengers from crossing the
bridge belonging to that road.
Gossip is in its glory now and does not j
seem to have lost any of its ancient mean-;

Time and tide and the North A South]

One-half the country wants to go to 1

It is said that 20,000 copies of “Silver

There are only one hundred shoo-mak-.
ers in Columbus, and they look as happy
as any other class.
Oranges are still in the market, but they j
are high and tasteless.
The Glorious Fourth will probably pass
without any demonstration whatever in
Columbus. Then* will not be oven the pop
of a cracker, or a display of stars and
stripes. Patriotism has not entirely
awakened in our people yet.
Opelika chickens are beginning to “mul
tiply and replenish the earth” since the
boys in blue left singing “Over to the
Black Hills and far away.”
And now the school boy is supremely
happy. Vacation for three months con
veys to his mind too much pleasure to be
comprehended at once.
Yesterday was a battle between breeze

ICE.
ii ow Our People Keep Fool.
It is astonishing how much ice is daily
consumed in Columbus. The bar rooms
make a constant drain on the supply, and
almost every firm and family in the city
use this antidote for the oppressive heat
of summer. Well water in the city is not
on an average good in the summer, but
our cistern water with ice cannot be sur
j passed. Most of our citizens use this
water. The expense is light, and the same
outlay of money, in any other way, is not
so profitable. Ice in Columbus is a neces
sity. Its consumption is increasing every
I day.
| There are already throe ice business
buses. Mr. John Hogan sells the North
| ern lake ice, which is clear as crystal.
• The Ivey Brothers are agents for the ice
manufactured in Macon. Like all manu
factured ice it is a little milky, though it
is said to be equal to the lake ice in all
respects. It is still contended by somo
who have used it that it melts sooner than
the Northern ice.
Mr. G. W. Brown sells Columbus-made
ice, which is exactly like that made in
Macon.
All three of those houses seem to drive a
lively trade. Their doors are besieged at
all hours of the day by suffering human
ity pining for relief from the increasing
heat. The “material coolness” is dispensed
to purchasers in all quantities, from hun
dreds of pounds sold to th* hotels down to
the “five-cents-for-three-days-worth” that
is bestowed upon the colored epicure who
boast quality above quantity.
lee houses are a blessing for us all in the
summer. Without them untold suffering
would afflict us, and we would be at the
mercy of a sun whom we now can defy,
even when he rides the zenith.
A few weeks ago the supply temporarily
failed, and the inconvenience occasioned
thereby was very great—much greater
than would have been supposed. Long
live our ice houses, we say, and we are
glad to see the number increasing. Com
petition is the life of trade, and the rule
holds good in ice as in all other articles of
commerce. The price is already reduced
to two cents a pound, and if it dot® not
come lower almost everybody can afford
an occasional cooling off at these figures.
Ice is to us in summer what our furn
aces arc in winter. By the aid of both we
are able to laugh at heat, sun and cold
breezes, and to keep free from torments
which would otherwise lx; sure to afflict
us.

Why Will You Fine Away t
WITHOUT A PARALLEL.
The demand for Dr. J. Bradfield’s Fe
male Regulator is -beyond precedent in
| the annals of popular remedies. Orders
j come in so thick and fast that the Propri
j otor has, heretofore been unable to fill
i them all. He is happy to state that ar
] rangements are now complete by which
j he is prepared to manufacture Female
; Regulator on a scale equal to the erner- ,
i geney, and the public may feel assured ;
; that their wants may now be supplied, i
; Physicians of high repute are using this
great remedy, in daily practice, all over
] Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf
] for from suppressed, suspended or irreg
j ular menstruation. This valuable medi
cine is prepared by L. 11. Bradfieid, Drug
! gist, Atlanta, Ga., and sold at $1.50 per
! bottle by druggists throughout America,

AfSsars. Bradfieid A Cos.:
Gentlemen—You will please ship us an
j other supply of your invaluable Female ;
Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We :
j are happy to state that this remedy gives
] better satisfaction than any article we
i sell. Wo have been selling it since 1868, j
i and witnessed many remarkable cures by (
! it. Among others, there was a lady
friend of ours who was sallow and sickly
until she was twenty-six years old, when
i she was married. Her husband lived two 1
| vears and died. She continued in bad
health; in fact, she has never been what j
! a woman ought to be. A few months 1
after the death of her husband she saw
j your advertisement, and came to our.
| store and bought a bottle of your Itegula
' tor from us, and took it according to di
i rections. It has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly peri
ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with the use of but two but- i
ties of your Regulator, costing her only
three dollars, when she had tried several
physicians and spent a great deal of
money without any benefit, Wishing you ,
great success with your valuable reme
dies, we are, respectful] v yours, etc.,
W. Root A Sons.
