Why Your Houses Should be Numbered.
Because the number directs tho stran
ger.
Becausethfl ntimber directs tho business
man to find the business man.
Because the number directs the express
men to deliver packages.
Because the physicians can find their
patients.
Beaut© the merchants can deliver pur
chased goods.
To renters to real estate, owning prop
erty, or agent for the same.
Saves private letters from being broken
open through mistake.
The number is tacked on the house, but
not a tax on tho people save that of advan
tage and convenience.
When you get your number on your
door you can then order tho newsboy to
deliver your morning paper at your pri
vate residence instead of leaving it at the
store or workshop or factory, a place
where your family never see It. In fact
tho number adds value and beauty to eve
ry house It is lacked on to.
Gentlemon, leave orders with your
wives, to have B. W. Hinolk & Cos. put you
up tho proper number.
Orders can be left'with F. W. Loudonber,

The I>k Law.
The present doff law 1b Inoperative anil
does not secure tho revenue whtoh its
trainers contemplated. To remedy the
difficulty only requit-ee the repeal of the
proHont law, and tho passage of an ordi
nance requiring each citizen to give In tho
number of doge on their lots, just as they
return any other species of property they
own. Then let tho penalty from failure
so to render In lie tho Imposing a fine of
*5, or the killing of the animal by the po
lice. I would suggest further, that the
tax upon each dog bo roducod from $1 to
50c. that tho tax bo not oppressive upon
the poorer dosses of society. Much u law
would yield a larger revenue, obviate the
liun unsu ut Imogen ami dog oollars, and
save the elty tho expense of contracting
* annually for a different style of badge.
Besides, tho purelmsers of these badges
freciurnlly have them stolon off the nocks
of their dogs by luiprim ipfri/ thieves, who
wish to protect their own at tho sarrltii-o
of tho purchaser's dog. The shooting of
these animals at night and early morning
Is a crying nuisance to tho quiet slumber
erg and norvously sick throughout our
City Dugs are essential to tho protection
of property, and as pets for children. Let
us have a now law, got In inure tax, have
moro quint, and save the lives of those
poor unfortunate brutes, which it 1b inhu
man to slay.

IlrHlh of Mr. E. W. Tlioinii*.
Yesterday morning between 0 and 7
o'clock Mr. E. \V. Thomas died at the resi
dence of MrH. McGehec, on Troup street.
Mr. Thomas was well known to our citi
zens, having been book-keeper at Mr. A.
Gammel’s stables for the past five years.
He came to Columbus soon after the war.
Ho entered the Confederate service as h
volunteer from Vicksburg, Miss., and
made an exemplary soldier. The day be
fore the army of Virginia surrendered he
was terribly wounded in the hip and ankle.
Since that time ho has suffered a great
from these wounds. About two weeks
Ago they became much worso than usual,
and he suffered a great deal. Dr. F. A.
Stanford kindly attended him and did all
in his power to relieve his sufferings.
Sunday night lie rapidly grew worse and
his death was not at all unexpected. He
was buried yesterday afternoon at 5
o'clock from the residence of Mrs. Mc-
Gehoe, Rev. R. J. Corley officiating.
Mr. Thomas had many friends hore. He
was known as a good soldier and a quiet
citizen. His loss will be regretted by many.
Wo understand that ho is a native of Vir
ginia.

Mr. A. Spencer, formerly Principal of the
Synodical Female College of Talladega,
Ala., has l>oon secured as a professor in the
Columbus Female College. Ho is a man
of about forty-five years old, and is well
in Alabama, bearing an amiable
fame as an instructor. He is said to be a
gentleman of great learning and research,
and eminently fitted for a college profes
sorship.
Since tho war Mr. Spencer has been in
charge of a school In Kentucky. We arc
glad the services of such a competent
teacher havoboen secured, and hope may
be as well filled, lie will bo in Columbus
by the Ist of September. By tho 10th, all
the professorships will be filh*d, and an
able corps of touchers put in charge of the
collogo. The term will open on the first
Monday in October. Prospects are good
for a largo attendance.
Prof. G. R. Glenn will return to the city
this week and go to work for the college.
Success to his efforts!
Gi-ttnd Lodge or I. O. O. F.
Mr. L. P. Aenohbacker left tho city Sun

flourishing condition. It is said to bo one
of tire prettiest lodge rooms in the State.
Messrs. Aenohbacker and Scheussler

Odd Follows will look with interest to
the proceedings of the Grand Lodge.
Mr. 11. C. Turpin.
As Announced a day or two ago, Mr. H.
0. Turpin has assumed tho management
of tho Wheeler & Wilson Machine Agency
in this city. Tho business is certainly in
good hands. Mr. Turpin has had years’
of experience in tho sewing machine busi
ness and thoroughly understands the sci
ence of it. For a long time he was agent
for the Singer in North Carolina, and ho
has letters from that company very highly
commendatory of his management.
He has come to Columbus with the de
termination of making a complete success
of his agency and has already gone to
work to accomplish this end. Having a
thorough knowledge of the business, ho
knows exactly how to push it on to suc
cess. Representing, as ho does, a popular
machine, and having his experience, it is
certain that he will not fail to build up a
fine business here.
Our citizens will find him a pleasant
gentleman and a thorough business man.

Numbering Home*.
The enterprise of numbering houses has
just begun In Columbus, and seems to be
meeting with very general approval. Wo
call attention to tho notice of B. W. Smolk
A Cos. In this issue.
The roasons given why all the bouses In
the city should be numbered are all good.
The general numbering of residences, as
well os place© of business, will undoubted
ly be a great convenience to our people.
There are many ways Ift which It would
bo beneficial. Tho cost of numbering
bouses is very small, unless the owner
wishes it done very handsomely. The
plain numbers can be put on for ten cents.
Some of our citizens have already hud
their residences very handsomely num
bered in stained glass, which makes quite
an ornament to tho entrance of a resi
dence.
All the houses In Rome are numbered,
while it Is scarcely half as large as Colum
bus. The citizens find it a great conven
ience.
The houses in Augusta are number**!,
although she lias no free mail delivery.
Wherever the plan has been tried it has
worked well and given satisfaction. It
gives a city-like appearance to any place,
to see the houses all well and uniformly
numbered. The plan will take in Colum
bus, and It Is probable that it will be al
most universally adopted. The exi>ense
is very small, and the benefits resulting
from the general numbering of houses are
very considerable. Have your residence,
as well os your store numbered.
Itnlil In Heullwood.
On Saturday night a raid was made, by
some villains, upon tho promise of Mr.
Thomas Wooldridge, in Beallwood, by
which that gentleman sustained consider
able loss. A line heifer calf was stolen,
her throat cut, and the carcass severed
in two—the raiders biking the hindquar
ters for themselves and loaving the rest
for the rightful owner of the veal. His
melon fields were also invaded, and the
finest of the fruit taken. It Is the second
or third time that Mr. W. has suffered in a
similiar manner; and hereafter, so far as
he is concerned, tho mldnlgnt marauder
will bo obliged to take good care of him
self. The yearling, a beautiful animal,
was quietly and peacefully browsing
within a few steps of the dwelling, up to
ten o'clock at night. The thieves, evident
ly two in number, wore tracked a quarter
of a mile, but no portion of the meat could
bo discovered. ‘ How long!” etc.
Kironti Law FlVm.
It will bo of interest to the members of
the bar in this city to learn that Judge
.McKay and Judge Trippc, who have just
resigned their positions as judges of the
Supreme Court, have formed a law co
partnership in Atlanta, ami will practice
in all the courts. The papers of that city
say that It is an uriusu lly strong law
firm, and must do a very large practice,
iwo ex-Judges of the Supreme Court
ought surely to constitute a strong firm,
and the widespread reputation of both
Judge McKay and Judge Trippo will bring
into their hands a large amount of busi
ness.

Mr. Francis Fontaine, associate editor
of the Times loft Sunday for a stay of ton

tain air, for which that section of the
State is famous, may greatly benefit his
health, and return him to his duties great
ly improved and invigorated.

Why Will You Fine Away f
WITHOUT A PARALLEL.
The demand for Dr. J. Brad field's Fe
male Regulator is beyond precedent in
the annals of popular remedies. Orders
come in so thick and fast that the Propri
etor has, heretofore been unable to till
them all. He is happy to state that ar
rangements are now complete by which
he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a seal*? equal to the emer
gency, and the public may feei assured
that their wants may now be supplied.
Physicians of high repute are using this
great remedy, in daily practice, all over
Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf r
for from suppressed, suspended or irreg
ular menstruation. This valuable medi
cine is prepared by L. H. Bradlield, Drug
gist. Atlanta, Ga., and sold at $1.50 per
bottle by druggists throughout America.

Men era. Bradjleld A* Cos.:
Gentlemen—You will please ship us an
other supply of your invaluable Female
Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We
are happy to state that this remedy gives ’
better satisfaction than any article we |
sell. We have been selling it since 1968, ;
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
she was married. Her husband lived two i
years and died. She continued in bad j
health; in fact, she has never been what
a woman ought to be. A few months
after the death of her husband she saw
your advertisement, and came to our
store and bought a bottle of your Regula
tor from us, and took it accord in# to di
rections. It has cured her sound and
well, brought her regular month!v peri
ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom
ing widow—with tiie use of but two bot
tles of roar Regulator, costing her only !
three dollars, when she bad tried several I
physicians and spent a great deal of i
money without anv benefit. Wishing you :
great success with your valuable reme- i
dies, we are, respectfully yours, etc.,
