The mining stock markets to-day furnish little TO

Robinson Consolidated still furnishes sufficient
business to make up an official list of sales that
looks respectable, and other stocks make up modi-

GOLDEN WEDDING.

Mr.. NJ. M. Corbett has kindly furnished
the ARGUS with the data of very interest
ing occurrence in Cordova on Saturday
last, which are thus summarized:
Mr.. J. S. Cool and Margaret Cool his
wife, of Cordova, celebrated their golden
wedding. at their residence, on Saturday
afternoon. They were married at Trenton,
New Jersey, November 9Th. 1882. They
came to Cordova July 10th, 1888, and have
resided there ever since. Mr.. and Mrs
Cool are respectively seventy-two and sixty
eight years old. They are yet strong,
healthy, prosperous, much esteemed, de-
voted christians, and memb ers of the Bap-
fist church. They have had five children.
all of whom are living, married, residing
in Cordova, and much respected. Sixty
persons were at the wedding, all relatives
excepting four. Had the house been su fl
GENTLY large, twice as man. relatives could,
and would, have been present. At an un-
derstood signal Mr. Corbett advanced to-
ward the centre of the room to make the
presentation address, several tasteful and
appropriate gifts having been struggled
into the house for the worthy old couple
He really wanted to say something of hui
merous nature, but the sight of Mrs. Cool
who was completely overcome by her emo
tions, somewhat unnamed him. Heifinally
Iregained his composure and discharged the
very agreeable duty assigned him. The
following is the list of presents: Two silk

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

A correspondent of the Memphis Aga-
LaJaehe presents some interesting items,
showing the growth of the South in gen
eral, and Arkansas in particular, in the
last decade 1t is stated that the popula-
ton of Arkansas increased from 484, 600 in
1870 to 500, 900 in 1SS0-nearly 20 per
cent. Her cotton production increased
from PAS, 600 bales in 1870 to 607, 900 bales
in 1880, or more than 40 per cent. Texas
has increased in equal ratio; no other state
half as much. Southwest of us lies the
Egypt of Memphis. Arkansas and Texas
produced @netenth of the cotton crop IN
1870. They produced more than one-fourth
of the crop in 1SS0--the largest crop ever
made. The grain trade has built up Buff
slo, Cleveland, Sandusky, Toledo, Chicago
and Milwaukee; and the cotton trade has
built up all of our Southern cities. A mil
lion bales as the annual Memphis receipts
would bring her population up to 10000
With that would come a large increase of
commerce and manufacturers, railroads
would multiply, turnpikes and plank roads
take the place of dirt roads, and every farm
within twenty miles of Memphis would
become garden for fruits, roots, grain,
hay, stock, etc, worth $50 to 800 per
acre. The removal of the peculiar institu-
ton" of the South enables its people to
discover that there are other means for
promoting their prosperity than those they
so tenaciously and blindly held to. The
universally of railroads is to them a new
revelation, and they are beginning to I'M
derstand that they can and will do more
for that section of this great country in the
next twenty-five years than negro slavery
could have accomplished to the end of
time.

BRIDGE DOWN.

Yesterday afternoon as Milan street
car, heavily laden, had gone upon what is
known as bridge number 2, this side of the
papermill, one span of that structure
sagged so perceptibly as to create consid-
cradle alarm in the hearts of the passengers
and compel the precipitate retreat of the
car to terra firma. As soon as Information
of the condition of the bridge reached here
Mayor Carse and one or two other city Off
Gals started out at once, and after viewing
the bridge returned TO the city and com
menced the necessary planning for the
strengthening of the bridge. This morning
Aldermen Henry and Whitman were to go
out and it is understood the bridge will be
ready again this afternoon for travel The
cause of the trouble was the removal of the
supporting beams of one span; That which
fell. These will be restored at once.

room was lighted by a nameless phos-
phorescent glinting; after the napkin cover
ing the cause thereof had been removed.
There were also some verses as full of
subtle suggestion as an oven of the odor OF
turkey on Thanksgiving day. Here is one
of them:
This cake is baked and frosted,
And done just to turn,
The ladies waited patiently
Fearing il would burn
How very kind of 1.-The ladies' to wait
so patiently, as Little Mary did about the
tabled school house till her pet mutton,
with its little ribbon, should reappear. In
a vision, as it were, 1.-THE ladies" are seen
lowering over the great stove, each with
arms akimbo and face as red as lobster,
wondering whether the subject of their
solicitude, the editor not the cake, would
appreciate their kindly service, performed
at so tremen dous sacrifice. In. form the
cake was heptagon,a seven sided affair, but
so painfully suggestive of the ft-repeated
assertion that an editor can be many-or
rather, that is to say, that appetite went
to the winds, for the nonce, and the cake
was consigned TO the cooler. 1t was frosted
beautifully, although the recipient isn't
frosted to any great extent as far as heard
from, and it is to be dissected on
election night as soon ''as the returns
are in from Moline" Ladies, the editor
takes the cake with thanks for your time
ly thoughfulness.
