Tho boat did not arrlvo lost night in

somest bout on the river. Her cabins are
beautiful uud roomy. She is well oflleored,
and draws less water than any boat on
the river. The Big Foot Is from Apalach
icola, and loaves to-morrow morning for
tho lower river.
A large crowd bourdod the boat, and
wore very courteously shown around by
her gentlemanly ofllcers. Wo aro glad
that such an excellent boat runs the Chat
tahoochee, and wo trust sho may bo sus
tained by tho merchants of Columbus and
citizens generally. To-day her officers
will be glad for all to go and see her.
The freight brought up was charged at
the usual rate, and a llttlo advance of tho
rates tho Big Foot will establish as per

THE TIMES: FKIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 31, 18(5.
Warm Weather mid the Ornlu Crops.
While this weather Is very pleasant to
those unable to purchase fuel, and even
more pleasant to everybody than bluster
ing cold weather, yet we aro afraid that
tho country generally will be the worse off
for It, in Us operation upon the small
grain that has been sowod. The weather
lias been so mild and spring-like, that
oats and wheat have grown very rapidly,
and tho bud thrown out. If we should
have any sort of a cold spell, tho bud will
be killed and the crop destroyed. Such a
disaster has happened to tbo grain crops
In this section before. Wo were talking
with a practical farmer yesterday, and ho
expressed a similar fear for the oat crops,
and said In hit opinion there warr but one
way In which to prevent n total loss re
sulting from this kind of weather, and that
waste turn your stock In upon your oats
and let them keep it cropped, until the
cold woathor sets In. Ho sold there was
no danger of hurting it, but on the contra
ry, would save it. Several farmers have
already followed this plan.
In some portions of tho county wo hear
of peas sprouting, and in another place
that they havo grown over two Inches
high.
■ the Wharf.
It was sounded through the streets
twice yesterday that the “Big Foot" was
at the wharf, anil hundrods of citizens
gathored to see tho vessel that promises
deliverance from an oppressive monopoly.
The class of merchants and citizens that
gathered on each occasion were not drawn
By an bile curiosity, but to see a live en
terprise that would place Columbus on a
footing with her sister cities. The boat
did not arrive, though from the passen
gers on the Central boat Wylly wo learned
they passed her about forty miles below
Columbus, loaded down with cotton and
other freight.
We aro not opposed to anybody or any
thing Individual, but we are in favor of
anything or any laxly that will come to the
rescue of our freight riddon people. Cheap
freights Is what Columbus needs to make
her tbo boast of the State. Can she get a
cheap outlet by the river? Tho experiment
Is about to be.trledjand we have reason to
believe she can. At any rate we have an
opposition lino in our waters, and there
only can Columbus expect to bo freed. If
there has recently been any reduction in
rlvor freights, learn the oause, and boo If
the most obtuso mind would fail to set It
down to opposition. Whence comes the
opposition? It matters not—lt benefits
you and your city. Foster It.

Editor of the Times:
To correct some erroneous impressions
which have been entertained against me,
for the article signed “Doctor,” which ap
peared in your columns on Wednesday
morning, allow me to say, through you, to
the public, I teas not the author of tliat ar
ticle, and knew nothing of its nontents until
read by me after its publication. It gives
me pleasure to state that the members
and officers of Council are on the kindest
personal relations with myself, which
estate I desire shall forever continue. But
If tho intended good sought to be secured
for me by my friend, the "Doctor," through
the honorable members of Council, shall
become a fixed fact, I shall feel under re
newed obligations to the Doctor and Al
dermen, and invite both parties (and you,
Mr. Editor), to an oyster supper, leaving
tho time and place to your option.
Respectfully, tv. W. Fdkwelden,

Yetterduy.
Yesterday Is one of the days we would
not dig up. Trade was dull, it rained a
little, and the sun was out for awhile. No
enterprising man would razor himself,
and tho "Big Foot” would not come. An
other such day and tho local columns of
the Times will present a more scanty ap
pearance than they do to-day. No May
or’s Court; no runaways; Indeed, nothing
to enliven tho dull monotony of hot, wet
woathor, and dull trade.
Can It b# Possible t
We hoard it stated yesterday, on the
authority of a gentleman who had taken
the trouble to ascertain tho facts, that the
money value of tbo whiskoy received at
the depots In this city during the year, is
at least equal to the monoy value of all
the corn received during the sumo period.
And yet some women and children say the
Quaes aro hard!

New Year’* Call*.
Wo learn there will be but few houses
open for the reception of visitors on New
Year’s, though there will be a number of
callers.
Tho Atlanta Constitution some weeks
ago advocated publishing the names of
tho ladles who would receive, and those
young ladies who would bo with them.
From this they got the Idea of having the
names published In pamphlet form. Co
lumbus does not take to it altogether, and
such a list here might be very Incomplete.

This season Columbuj can boast of first

house, adds to its popularity. Ho is whole
soulod arid generous, and knows how to

at 11 o'clock, by tho Rev. Mr. Hunter, Mr.

were no attendants. The bride is the sis
ter-in-law of Conductor J. M. Webster,
and by him was given away In marriage
at the altar. Mr. Whitsett is tho popular
engineer on tho Western Railroad of Ala
bama. A number of friends were present,
and offored their congratulations to the
happy couple. They left on the train for
Montgomery.
„ More Thieving.
Thieving still continues, and it would be
well for everybody to keep a eha-p look
out.
Night before last they left the city, and
raided In the suburbs. Thechlckcu-kouse
belonging to Capt. Jerry Slade was broken
open, and not a roostor was left to crow
for day, or a ben to cackle.
Buckshot administered in round doses
is said to boa sure preventative. We hope
somebody will make tho experiment, and
that it will prove a cure for this contagious
malady.
Did Not Like fl.
Yesterduy a couple of gentlemen walked
into a bar room, and while their "Moody
and Sankey’s" were being prepared, start
ed to take a bit of cheese and crackers,
when a rural friend standing by cau
tioned them against eating tho cheese as
it was spoilt. Tho cheese is known as
Limburger, and we think our friend was
more than right in his opinion of ik
Mburp Thieving.
About ten days ago, a novel thing was
stolen from the premises of Mr. Perry
Spencer, who resides in Llnwood. It was
no less than a very fierce yard dog. Two
nights ago, he had stolen from him forty
grown chickens, ten small ones, and three
turkeys. It looks to us like tho thieves
who first stole his dog, must have been
the parties to steal his chickens. It was a
pretty sharp thief to so arrango things to
suit his convenience.

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 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, sho 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 cured her sound and
well, brought her regular monthly pori
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 beneflk Wishing you
