SOME LOCAL GOSSIP.
Some few months ago the Telephone Ex-
Gnange was moved from the top floor of the
kImball House to the corner of Broad and
Marietta streets. Now the Signal Station has
followed to the United States post office build
ing, ing, opposite the capitol, and the towers of the
hlmDal look quite deserted at night
1t is singular that our local press i'm noting
the annual meetings Of the banks, should have
overlooked Messrs. Maddox & Rucker. one of
our largest cotton warehouse and banking firms
of which Mr.. w. L. Peel, sOn-in- law of Con-
gresham Phil. Cook, and formerly of the Bank
of the state of Georgia, is Cashier. 1t was to
this firm that young George w. Wylly, of Sa-
vannah, came when he removed to Atlanta

the necessary machinery in order to extend
their business all over this and the adjoining
States. Savannah will be made an important
branch office.
MINOR TOPICS.
1t seems hardly possible, vet there are
preachers within thousand miles of Atlanta
who take advantage of an t'M. d. y to mass
themselves off as Rev. DR.. Brown or Smith.
leaving the impression on the public mind
that they have a SD. ID !" to their names Nor
is this evil wholly of local character. 1t calls
for a speedy reform. Let us have no decep-
ton in the pulpit.
Atlanta never did take kindly to the Field
PRESIDENTIAL boom, as we early discovered
that the Darl and paid agents were the prime
factors IN the movement. Justice Field is a
most excellent gentleman, and belongs to a
grand family of distinguished sOns-some four
or hye-but he will never be Chief Magistrate
OF the United States. Georgia has once
promptly and emphatically rejected his kind
OvertureS, and | find that there is no1v no in
clination to revoke or modify that action.
The Vicksburg Herald is talking about a
"direct line" to Brunswick, Well / remem-
Der that such a line was once started from
Eufaula, Ala, with Messrs. PapOt & WalthOur,
OF savannah, as contractors, and the late
Hon. Eli S. Shorter, of Eufaula, as President.
Il got to Clayton. twenty miles, and there
ended the great Vicksburg and Brunswick
Railroad. The Central Railroad now runs if
as a local branch road.
The recent publication of 'Life of Bishop
James q. 4 Andre1cs," of blessed memory. has
called forth from the Hon. Henry W. Hilliard,
a most beautiful and appreciative tribute to
that great and good man. II knew him
well" says Mr.. Hilliard, "Awakened under
his preaching; received by him into the church;
living for a time in his house; meeting him
often in later years; enjOyinga a correspondence
with him at home and abroad-I knew him
as man ana a preacher, as few living men
knew him. He was a man of very noble
nature; ne was preacher of transcendent
power"
ers In the South Georgia Conference who are
named after this beloved Bishop. And it is a
singular fact, and one worthy of more than a
passing notice, that their initials are the
same, and the last letter in the family name
of each is alike. Owing to this strange SINH
larity, neither Of them can write for the Meth
odIst papers and sign j. o. \. c., or j. o. A.

knew that wheE ''Richmond," !" the talented
and experienced Atlanta correspondent of the
Augusta Chr0nicle, attempted to throw out a
little "tanyP to some of our local musical
characters, ne would wake up a ''hornet's
nest" and all the discord and fnharmOnious
elements come to the front. The fact is. as
we all know, oil and water will not mix. nor
can the contending musical factions of At
Ianta be brought INTO union. For this reason
we are, and have been for years past without
any musical organizations. With instrumental
and vocal artists, male and female, of the
highest culture and genius, such state of af-
fairs is quite discreditable.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
The condition of Major Warren is not very
hopeful, and it is barely possible that his ac-
tive labOrs in life are ended, greatly to the
sorrow OF his numerous friends.
Hon. Z: W. Seidell, the efficient private Sec
retary OF the Governor is at present tempo
rarily filling Major Warren's place. SO that
there may be no interruption in the public
business.
Governor Stephens has inaugurated several
reforms IN the interest of economy most of
which are healthy and timely, and will ac- !
compllsh much good. He will find. however. |
that preventing the use of public stationery |
for private correspondence is like splitting a |
hair. ."
In nothing has the new Governor surprised |
people more than in his display Of backbone" |
1t was thought that 'Uncle Aleck'' was a |
kind d-hearted, easy going sort of a man. and |
could be easily persuaded. The fact is. as /
this class are finding out, lie is as stubborn as
believes to be right.
