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.” Jut Arrivedi 13,000 yards Calico.

XiOJBTII AMI SO IT U It All* 114! A lit 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.” Frol*. Kindt*’* Brhoul. Yostorday Prof. J. J. Slado closed Ids se lect school until tho first of October next 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 direction. The Public Are respectfully invited to attend an enter tainment given by the Ladies of the Pros bsterlan Church to-morrow (Thursday evening) in the Court House Yard.

Everybody In the place will go, and the day will be one to be marked with a whitostono. As the glorious Fourth oomes on Sunday, this pic-nic may be look ed on ns a sort of a patriotic affair. Tlius does Girard excel Columbus. We are so unpatriotic and so unloyal that the day which used to be the time for general joy and spread eagleism will pass without one iota of local excitement, or one soul-stir ring allusion to the “bald oagie of Ameri can independence” or the “streaming glares of the stars and stripes.” Ju*t In.

Yostorday the closing exorcises of the public schools of this city came off. The trustees visited botli the irls ami the boys schools, and wont into the various rooms while the exorcises wort? in pro gress. The following is a list of the Board of Trustees: B. F. Coleman, John McTihenny, C. E. Dexter, W. tt. Needham, 1.1. Moses, W. L. Salisbury, C. A. Redd, John King, J. M. Estes, John Peabody, N. N. Curtis. 1 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. THE CURLS' SCHOOL is under tho control of Miss Mira Bird song, Mrs. Poullain, Miss Sallio Malone, ; Miss F. Holmes, Miss Deignan, and Miss . Peabody. Mrs. 11. W. Battle has charge ‘ of tho Music Department. There have been about four hundred . 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. FEMALE (OI.LEUK. Meeting of Citizen* Called at Four O'clock on Thursday Afternoon at Court Hnune. All citizens interested in tho establish ment of a Female College at Columbus are requested to moot at the Court House on to-morrow (Thursday) afternoon at 4 o’clock. Tiio object of the meeting is to discuss the feasibility of sotting on foot and sustaining such an institution. Lot every mail who is Interested in a scheme that materially affects the growth and prosperity of our city be present at this meeting. Many Citizens. 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.

Every day from 11 to 1 o’clock, under the Natura Grape Arbor of (’HAS. HEYMAN * CO. my - y 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: GRADUATING CLASS OF HIGH SCHOOL. Miss Belle Abeli, Miss Annie Berry, Miss Savannah Blackman, Miss Mary Bradford, Miss Lizzie Curtis, Miss Ella Crawford, Miss India Johnson, Miss Georgia Mcll hoimy, Miss Tinnie Mocler, Miss Jessie j Mathcson, Miss Fannie Pitts, Miss Susie ' Stockwell, Miss Mattie Smith, Mr. Macon Berry.

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. M4IU They Come! s beautiful lot of Spring Prints just in at apl J. J.

Tho Summer tourist is now packing up ids earthly effects and reading route 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 eonvenienced no little by tiie order of the j 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-; ness. Time and tide and the North A South] train wait for no man. One-half the country wants to go to 1 Egypt and the other half pines for tho | Black Hills. “Am de Mobile Jurard mail extributod j yet?” and they told the dusky interroga tor that it was not. A sentimental youth played “How Can I Leave Thee” for his love the other night, and out the pure kindness of her heart she suggested the expedient of an exit by means of tho front door. It is said that 20,000 copies of “Silver Threads among the Gold” have been sold in tin; United States. We are afraid Co-; lumbUH got more than her share of this number. 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 and sun, and, as usual, the latter was vic torious. 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.

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.
