FIRST TRIP
OF the Season is Made BY
Steamer Vienna, Low Water
Having Prevented River
Traffic.

/ The final week in January is
rather late for a steamboat TO
make its initial trip, but the
weather has been SO dry through
out this section during the past
! fall that there was hardly enough
water in the Tonbigbee to float a
skiff. much less q steamboat, and
| it was only last Monday that the
steamer Vienna made her initial
trip. She landed at the wharf
shortly after eight O'Clock Mon.
day night, and the coming of
steamboat has grown to be such
rare occurrence here that there
was quite crowd on hand to
welcome the little craft and the
members Of her crew.
The Vienna this season is in
charge of Capt. 8. =. Cosper,
and Mr.. W. G. Ottley is acting
as clerk. The initial trip was
made without incident and both
the freight and passenger traffic
started out well, 200 bales of cot
ton, 1000 sacks of cotton seed
and large number of passen-
gers having been handled.
The boat left on her return trip
down the river Tuesday night,
and as long as the water is suf-
fioiently high viii run regularly.
Two crews will be employed and
the boat will run both night and
day, as there is a large lot of cot
ton seed at the different landings
waiting to be brought TO this city
and many tons of fertilizer wait.

FINE POSTAL FACILITIES

Columbus not only has a mag
nifioent post office building but
the government has men in
charge of the office who are ever
alive to the best interests of the
city and who do everything pos
sible to keep the mail service up
to the highest standard. BY the
change Of schedule which recent.
ly went into effect on the Mobile
and Ohio railroad the passenger
train reaches Montgomery just
ten minutes after the Atlanta and
Vest Point has pulled out, and
thereby our eastern connection is
lost.
There was some complaint a
the local post office in regard to
the delay, and Mr.. John B. Pat
terson, our efficient assistant
post master, took the matter up
with Mr.. Joseph 2. Billups, for
mer Columbian who is now the
general passenger agent of the
Atlanta and West Point, and he
in turn took the matter up with
General Passenger Agent Shep-
ard, of the Mobile and Ohio, who
has promised to do all in his pow
er to have the schedule changed
so that the Montgomery connec-
ton can be made.

CRAP DICE
Are the Means of Bringing
Large Number of Youth
ful Coon CambIeTc
to Grief.

The police made their usual
weekly raid on the gambling
dives last Saturday night, and as
a result thereof some half dozen
dusky dice throwers were before
Mayor Gunter for trial Monday
morning. 1t was heterogene-
Gus assemblage, among the num-
Der being a negro named Hender-
son Whitfield, whom, it seems, is
familiarly known as Preacher. !"
As Mayor Gunter asked the diff
ferent culprits to answer to the
charge of gaming each one plead
guilty until Preacher" was in
terrogated. When Mayor Cum
ter put the customary question,
guilty or not guilty" to him he
promptly answered mot guilty. :"
The mayor was just a little bit
dubious as to the truth of the
negro's statement, and asked:
"What were you doing in the
room with the crap shooters if
you were not participating in the
game?"
81 don't know what 'ticipatin' is
replied the negro, "but if it
means smokin / guess was 'tioi-
patin', case I war smoking my
pipe
This brought a laugh to the
crowd, but it did not satisfy
Mayor Gunter, who is leary of
crap shooters and is familiar
with the schemes which they en-
ploy to eYade conviction when
captured by the police, go he
asked:
perhaps, Preacher, if you
were not actually 'ticipatin' in
the game you were doing a little
fading on the outside.
"No sir, / never put up
bean, declar' I didn't
As all the rest of the negroes
bore Preacher" out in his state
ment, the mayor was forced to let
him off without a fine, but there
is a lurking suspicion in the mind
of his honor that the pretended
prsacher is really wolf in
sheep's clothing.
The other offending bone
throwers who were before the
mayor and who were fined $3.50
each were Ed Cotton, Bob Cot
ton, "Major" Beckwith. John
Brown, Jim Brown, Oliver Sykes.
Among the cases recently dis
posed of by Mayor Gunter were
those of Julia Williams and Aus
tin Berry. who were both charg-
ed with vagranoy and who were
sentenced to serve ten days each
on the county farm.
