MINOR MENTION.

Last nights proceedings of the cit!
council are given in their proper place
Alderman Charlie Calvert was swor1
in last night and looked as dignified as
Judge. Charlie says his first experience
will never be forgotten.
Peterson remembered the fire
boys yesterday afternoon, by sending a
big box of the best cigars around to the
jollitication at the engine house.
So popular was the entertainment
last night that even as dignifed a man
as Deputy County Clerk Pogue felt i'm
pelled to remark: Everybody in town
IL going to the dickens" And they did
too.
Policeman J. A. Waltman, who re-
signed last night, made splendid Off
Ger and is a first-class man. He has
made lots of friends, who wish him well.
He is not to leave us, but of this more
anon.
DR. McGregor received letter from
Commissioner A. w. Spaight requesting
him to obtain for publication in his de-
partment of state statistics history of
Waco and McLennan county. Commits
sloner Spalght Is not mistaken IN speak
ing of the doctors zeal in the public
service.
Members of the colored band tell
US that while they were parading up
Austin avenue night before Last they
were greeted with shower of eggs, said
eggs not being as fresh or pure as re-
CARDS Odor as a careful housewife would
desire The members of the hand have
no clue as to who thus mistreated them.
Whoever did it was altogether VIZ ong
The colored band may not make as
dulcet music as Theodore Thomas or
Gilmores orchestras, but they are pur
suing legitimate avOcation and when
parading the street, in an orderly man
ner, as they always do, have right to
pass along without molestation or insult.
The norther yesterday made that
fried oyster on fork, that is set up at
Roper's after each drink, more enjoyable

THE LOCAL COTTON MARKET.


THE LOCAL COTTON MARKET.
Receipts of cotton at this and all other
markets have been very heavy in the
past two weeks, and the result on future
movements causes some doubt and I'M
easiness among buyers and spectators.
To date there has been receive
at this market about 10000 bales,
and it is estimated by one of our best
informed and accurate cotton men that
in the neighborhood of 5000 bales are
yet in the country subject to market at
this point, which will run the seasons
receipts up to between 25,cO0 and 3O,OOO
bales. The present prices, he says, are
higher than are justified and higher than
can long stand. The receipts at New
Orleans are 10000 to $1,000 day, while
sales do not exceed 1000 or 5000 bales.
This his resulted in piling up stock OF
100000 bales at that port. which must be
disposed Of American and English
summers are Indifferent buyers, and
only purchase when they can make
advantageous terms. They are holding
off for lower prices, and 1t is simply a
contest of strength between the
"bulIs" and the manufacturers. In
measure "bull' capital will
| influence the prices, but it is not antici-
pated that they will have everything
| their own way. At the present rate the
crop will soon all be marketed, and thus
the contest will possess less interest to
the producer, but be quite interesting to

Flush Times I'm Georgia,

correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press cites a number Of cases lllustra i've
OF the flush times prevailing In Georgia.
Contractors state that there never was
In the history Of Georgia one half the
number Of buildings under contract and
hammer aud as at present. In Atlanta
especially is the boom apparent. There
are two bills before the Legislature to
build belt railroad around the city ,and
both companies are organized and have
the capital In hand TO build as soon as
the charter Is granted. Two bills are
also btfJre the Legislature for charters
to build canal to Atlanta, one of which
proposes TO bring water a distance OF
forty miles at cost Of IS, ,000, 600 or $1O,-
OO0,0OO. Another cotton factory, two
plow factories, agricultural works, a
mammoth steam grain elevator, and an
unprecedented number of business
houses and private residences are now
10 course of construction. Other cities
in Georgia are proportionately favorabiy
affected by the recent railroad changes.
AT Rome property has recently advanc-
ed seventy-tive per cent. 10 value be-
cause OF the same railroad changes,
whist In Augusta two more large cotton
factories are being erected, and another
with capital Of $l,0u0,000 is being or
ganized. The State government is be-
ing honestly and economically admins
tered, and peale aud order go hand In
hand withmaterial prosperity.
