A. T5TE COLUMBUS SOUTHERN.
G 'n0,bus En7uirer-Spm

G 'n0,bus En1uirer-Sm.)
We sce going thu rounds of the
weekly press OF this state para.
graph which emanateI from the
Sumter Republican, concerning the
Columbus Southern road. As
rule, it is easy for towns which will
not be benefited by the building of
a road to some other town, to pre-
dict an early cessation of the work
on it. We think, therefor, in the
present instance, that it is we'll
enough for the Enquirer Sun to
say that there IS no sort of doubt
about the early completion OF the
work on the Columbus Southern
road. The facts in the case are as
follows: The Chattahooche Brick
company, the largest leesees Of
convicts in the state, a highly res
possible corporation, has the cons
tract to build the road, including
bridges, rails, and every other &C
cessory thereto.
They are under heavy bond for
the faithful performance of this
work by a specified time in 1889.
In the meantime, the same compa~
ny has contract for gr.ding 12O
miles Of the Columbus, Rome and
Chattanooga road, and are under
S125, 900 bond to finish the grad
ing On that road by the first of
May. TheFe has been an unusual
amount IT rain this winter in the
northern part Of the state, and the
Chattal,oochee Brick company,
naturally enough, want to save
the nselves from the loss of the
Sl25, 600, and are concentrating
eve"y effort to complete the road
by the time specified in the con-
tract. To do this they have been
employing large amount of free
labor, obtaining it from Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee. There
are, probably, more men at work
on this road than were ever seen
on any road in the south at one
time, and among them are some of
the sub,contractors who have fin
ished their work on the Columbus
Southern.
Twenty miles of the grading of
! the Columbus Southern is nearly
completed, and will soon he finishs
ed. When the Uhattahooche Brick
company finish their work on the
c.. r. and c., they will concen.
trate their efforts in rapidly COM
pleting the Columbus Southern
road, which, with the almost Ger.
tain fact of the early extension of
the G., Il. and G. to Columbus,
and the probable extension of the
East Alabama to Columbus, and
the material improvements being
made on the Brunswick and Vests
ern, becomes more a necessity each
day.
Columbus, and the people along
the line OF the Southern, can GER
tainiy rest assured of one thing
If the road is not completed in the
time specified, then the Chattahoo.
chez Brick company forfeits its
bond, and the road, with such
nucleus, could be easily built any
way; but the Chattahoochee Brick
company is not the kind of a con-
Germ to forfeit bonds, and we do
not think any fears on this score
need be entertained by anybody.

House Flies.

| have discovered good way. TO destroy
house flies, says lady in the Picdyane.
1t has the advantage of cheapness and also
preventing dead flies from falling INTO
everything, as they do when poison is used.
Mix together equal parts, by measure, of
melted rosin and castor oil. Stir until
thoroughly miXed-which will take only
minute. While yet little warm, spread
thin and evenly on any paper that is not
porous. We use fools cap, writing papers,
catalogue covers, show bills, etc. Spread
with case knife, or any straight-edged
instrument, slightly warmed. Leave a
narrow border to handle with. Lay the
papers on tables, shelves or any spare
places where flies are numerous. They
will soon cover the papers. As soon as
they alight they will stick fast, and soon
phil themselves down. When the papers
are covered two or three flies deep, put in
stove and replace with another one. BE
sure to use no water. The oil prevents the
resin from hardening and has the peculiarity
of not eyaporating. The oil leaves no
odor when cool. Ten cents will buy
enough to kill all the flies in hotel.
