Every poor man In the city is satisfied
that the Council should give them a chance
to raise their own moat, and we very heart
ily agree with thorn; but the resolutions
of Alderman Ledslngor, asking an opposi

two hogs, meets with very goncral favor.
At the next mooting, wo hope that motion
will prevail, and that two hogs will be our
portion. Somo of those days some of the
Board will recollect their former poverty
and dependence, and thon know “how it Is

The Victim a Yotma Girl of Twenty
ftimmrri.
THE RESCUE—FAITH AND PROMISES.
Yesterday evening wo wero notified of
the fact that a young woman was in the
city, In tho deepest distress, owing to the
non-appearance of tho man who escorted
her to tho city.
THE YOUNG WOMAN
we found on the corner of Broad and Bt.
Clafr streets, crying a* if her heart would
break. She was attended by several of
her friends, but refused to be comforted,
as her liege lord had failed to put In an
appearance. We endeavored to gather
the facte of her soiitudo, and from her
lips learned tho following
TALE OF HORROR.
It seems that she had a happy home in
Henry county, Ala., and that her parents
were well off. She says that the man who
brought her to Columbus Is named James
Dayton, and that ho had been visiting her
for ten months previous to her leaving
home. Last Monday ho called at her
home and proposed a
RUNAWAY MATCH.
She consented, and in an evil moment
left the parental home and embarked upon
the uncertain sea of life. They boarded
the train at Troy, Ala., and came to this
city. Willie here the first day ho noted
woll, but on the second day ho got into
bad company, and this was the last she
saw of him whilo sober.
desertion.
The lone woman is satisfied that she has
been deserted, and that her only hope Is
to return to her homo. Luckily for her
she has enough monoy to defruy her ex
penses here, and back home. The base
man who left such a pure and noble wo
man, deserves the contempt of the world
and should be branded us
INFAMOUS,
wherever he goes.
Last night the young girl had found
firm friends in some good people of this
city, and to-day she proposes to return to
her parents. The mean and contemptible
scoundrel who so basely fabled such a
confidence as was bestowed by tills wo
man, deserves to be hung, or if found
alive,
TABUED AND FEATHERED
and rode out of the town on a rail. Such
occurrences will happen, but we hopo not
to witness any such scones us we bolield
in the face of tlio beautiful girl, who had
been led from the paths of rectitude and
honor.

Well, we thought before last night that
everybody knew a reporter in search of
Items,and consequently were not surprised
at receiving several messages to come to
a certain table where the night before we
had boned turkey, chicken salad, quail on
toast, pates of the most delicious varie
ties. We were in no special hurry, think
ing all these things would be put aside for
us—officially—and after awhile, having
gotten up a most magnifleout appetite, we
sauntered along that way. A large, Hat
dish, which had held a pig, was hastily
set before us, and wo were invited to “eat
that while I toll you something” (altogeth
er foreign to a reporter's business). The
dish contained seven necks, two clean
white pig ribs, some drum sticks, from
which they hud made a chicken salad,
throe breast bones, not a vestige of turkey
on them, and five pinions of goose—some
broad crumbs. We demurred, and men
tioned, In a modest way, that we were
somewhat hurried, as we were working
up items. Gracious! what a change—oys
ters, hot coffee, croams, salads, cakes, jel
lies, ehocolate, viands of the richest varie
ty and profusion poured in upon us so
rapidly that we could not articulate thank
you, ladies, fast enough to acknowledge
the different attentions.

wrinkles from every face. We throw out
the following hints where to make your
Christmas purchases at the least cost, and
with the greatest satisfaction:
TUOV.il* A l-REMOTT.
Nothing sets off good looks better than
a nice fitting suit of clothes. You have
worn your old ones long enough, so go to
Thomas A Prescott and get fitted in one
of his new suits. Take your wife by sur
prise by going home with anew suit If
yon don’t do it, wo advise all wivos to go
to Thomas A Prescott’s and order a suit,
and take their husbands by surprise by
having thorn ready for him to don early
Christmas morning. The weather is
balmy now, butcold weather is coming on,
and you will need an overcoat. Take ad
vantage of the reduction in clothing, and
get you an overcoat Thomas A Prescott
are anxious to sell theirs, and of course
you can got a bargain by going there to
day or to-morrow. Don't put it off, but
put on anew suit of clothes. You will
feel better and look happier.
HR*. V. 11. LEE.
The ladies' first wish is for a handsome
bonnet and nothing seems tosatisfy them
until they have visited Mrs. Lee's and de
termined upon a bonnet, a shawl and
some ribbons. Mrs. Lee has made ample
provision for the Christinas trade, and is
therefore enabled to supply it at living
prices—Christmas is the time set apart
for making presents, and the community
is divided upon a suitable present. Will
you call at Mrs. Lee’s to-day and decide
foe yourself. The elegant dresses, and
the lino hate will attract the young
but Mrs. Lee desires the trade of
everybody. Her goods are extra fine, and
if you want to be suited, all you have to
do is to call at her store on Broad street.
K. C. HOOD As CO.
These gentlemen have arranged for
Christmas, and are now ready to deliver
perfumes and fancy articles at very much
below the usual prices. The nicest pres
ents to be found in the city are at Dr.
Hood’s. Colognes, pomatums, and other
toilettes aro sold cheap. In this drug store
you can find any kind of a Christmas
present, while the afflicted can buy tho
healing remedies of the age. Dr. Hood's
“Eureka” is meeting with a very ready
sale, and those afflicted with any species
of liver oomplaint had best consult tills
medicine. Go to Hood's drug store to-day
and see what he has for sale.
J. L. HOD AV,
To-morrow is Christmas day and of
course you ought to have a Christmas
diunor. If you don’t feel able to have an
extensive diuner, you want something ex
tra. Turkey is the usual dish, and you
can get thorn at Hogan's, but if you want
anything extra, Hogan has it ill the shape
of shad, the very first of the season. To
day ho will have one hundred white shad,
and 1,000 pounds of turkey. Go to Hogan's

AT COW®ERA'S.
Going Into Cowdery’s, we found his
crockery establishment Hlled, not only
with customers, Twit also with Chrismas
goods. Time was when china was rare
and Liverpool ware was everywhere. But
now china Is moderately cheap, and the
shelves of the “china-shop” are graced
with the most lovely specimens of art in
figures and pictures of exquisite coloring.
His store, which is one of the largest in
the city, was well filled with all manner of
crockery, and while there we saw In pros
poetivo many a wife's heart gladdened by
the purchase of her Christmas tea-set, a
porcelain vase for her mantlo, or a set of
Bohemian glass ware.
His glass and china ware is of the latest
designs and coloring. His imported goods
are of the finest texture and finish, and his
prions are extremely moderate. By pric
ing some of his goods, we solvod the pro
blem "why such a run had been made on
this “ehina-storo.”
Nothing we know of is so calculated to
make the new year a pear ful one as to
commence It with a now outfit of china,
glass and crockery; so if you wish to es
cape curtain lectures, profit by our sug
gestion, and buy a full lino of china ware,
etc., at Cowdery’s, where you can got It
cheap and guaranteed. His goods are all
ef the best quality, and are being sold fast.
80 if you want to make a perfectly happy
home, go before all the finest sets are sold
and get your wife her Christmas present.

To make Christ mas a success you must
have your Christmas dinner. J. J. AW.
B. Wood, Broad street, havo a fresh ar
rival of new raisins, currants, citron, figs,
jellies, canned fruits and vegetables, mince
meat, pigs’ feet, Shaker and ginger pre

that everyone shall have eggnog, they
have bought an exceedingly large number
of eggs and an y quantity of butter. These
two last named articles, as well as every
thing else in their store will be sold at liv
ing prices, which means very cheap.
T. T. EDMUNDS.
We visited yesterday, on our Christmas
jaunts, the elegant furniture store of T. T.
Edmunds, where we found a most elegant
assortment of furniture, fancy chairs,
lounges, and everything else that can be
thought of in the furniture lino.
II you want anything In the furniture
linecheap, durable, well finished and tasty,
be certain to call at Edmunds’ before you
make your purchases. Iu these hard
times it is true economy to buy a Christ
mas gift, it matters not what it costs, that
is not perishable, but that will last and be
of use for years. To those who do not con
sider that house furniture comes under
the head of Christmas presents, we would
suggest the propriety of commencing the
new year with new furniture entire, or at
least with such additions to this year’s as
the wife may deem necessary. To say
that Edmunds sold goods economically
would be almost as superfluous as to ask
a starving man if he was hungry. Go
there and get your little boy a velocipede,
and your little girl a nice chair.

WITHOUT A PARALLEL.
Tho demand for Dr. J. Bradfleld’s Fe
male Regulator is beyond precedent In
the annals of popular remedies. Orders
come In so thick and fast tlint the Propri

them all. He is happy to state that ar
rangements are now complete by which
he is prepared to manufacture Female
Regulator on a scale equal to the emer
gency, and the public may feel assured
that their wants may now lie supplied.
Physicians of high repute are using this
great remedy, in daily practice, all over
Georgia. Hereafter no woman need suf

Messrs. Bradfield <£ 0)4-
Gentlemen—You wilt 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 1868,
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
years and died. She continued in bad
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 according to di
rections. it has oui-ed 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 bot
tles 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, respectfully yours, etc.,
