Local Happenings in Browneville and
Girard.
Ilrownofllle Moving AlonirAU Right—An Kncour-
inur Revival In Progress— Picnicking At Poplar
Springs—The Wonts Must Wo—Meet lug of tin-
school Trustors in til rani— The Debuting So
ciety.
The week just ended was n quiet one in most
rejects in Browneville. While the atmospheric
temperature has ranged in the nineties the politi
cal temperature has somewhat cooled down, and
aside tYom the gubernatorial contest at Mont
gomery, the people have had less to talk about
than usual. The frequent showers have had a
tine ett'eet upon the gardens and patches as well
as upon the grass, and the outlook in all respects
i- more hopefYil. Several new stores are soon to
lie opened in Browneville, and this seems to indi
cate that the people have faith in an early im
provement in trade. Socially the neighborhood
Las been quiet, no events of public note having
occurred during the past week.
Church Mention.
Rev. Mr. Cummings about a week ago started
a protracted meeting at Trinity church. Rev.
Mr. Culpepper preached two or three evenings to
overflowing congregations and then took his de
parture for home, leaviug a promise to return
which lie has not done as yet. The services were
interrupted one or two evenings by rain, and one
or two evenings Rev. Mr. Cousins, of the Alaba
ma conference, assisted in ministerial labors.
The pastor of Trinity has felt so greatly encour
aged that he has erected an extensive arbor
where outdoor services will be held each night
the coming week, the weather permitting. Rev.
Mr. Osborne will preach at the church to-day
and Rev. Mr. Cummings at the arbor to-night.
All interested in religious matters are invited to
attend.
Services will be held at the Browneville Primi
tive Baptist church to-night and Monday night
by transient brethren. Elder Bassett will preach
to-night and Elder Redd to-morrow night. Rev.
Wm. Lively will also he present.

Children's Picnic.
Some seventy-five of the pupils and friends of
.Miss Nora Floyd's school* gave a picnic yesterday
at Poplar Spring, near the creek. It is useless to
•say that the children had a nice time in such a
nice place, notwithstanding tlie temperature
ranged rather high, and rain was frequently
threatened. The juvenile temperament is natur
ally happy and not so susceptible to the changes
which often mar the pleasures of their older
friends. The children were taken to the place of
rendezvous in vehicles kindly provided by their
friends.

A Peep at the I'oliiinhas Ragging Factory -It
Shows up a Large and Prosperous Institution-
What They Make and What They do With Their
Products.
Columbus well deserves the title of the largest
and most extensive manufacturing city in the
south. First, there is the Eagle and Phisnix,
which is the pride of our town; after it comes the
other cotton factories. We have the largest
foundry south of Richmond. Then there are the
cotton seed oil manufactory and the barrel fac
tory and many others.
An Enquirer-Sun reporter being attracted by
the noise of the machinery at the bagging fhetory,
and after having watched the running wheel.*:
and their manipulators for some time, deter
mined to go in and learn what he could about the
factory. Seated in the office, he was kindly fur
nished the following information about the busi
ness: The bagging factory here is the largest in
the south. The members of the Arm, Messrs.
Hinde, Preer «te Illges, are among the best busi
ness men of the city, aud are making a great suc
cess of the business. The factory has been in
operation here fur about eight years, and has
been satisfactory from the start. The capital
ust*d is $75,000, all of it being their own.
The mill has H looms, and daily converts 6000
pounds of jute into 3000 yards of bagging. Just
take in what a large quantity that is. It is 18,000
yards a week! Think what a pile 36,000 pounds of
jute would make. The jute that they use is
bought in foreign countries, at a price delivered
at New York, find .froju there it is shipped here
to be used.
The bagging is made for the wrapping of cot
ton, and is of rather a coarse quality, being very
heavy, weighing two pounds to the yard, it will
be seen that in this manufactory, as in all others
of the south, only coarse grades of goods aro
made. There are two reasons for this: the tirst,
that the southern people require more of the
coarse qualities than of the line; aud secondly,
that because of the short time that the south has
been engaged in manufacture, there is a lack of
skilled labor.
The market of these goods is found in the im
mediate neighborhood in Georgia and the neigh
boring state of Alabama. The firm finds no dif
ficulty in selling all the goods they can make
and profitably competing with northern prices.
The hours of work are ten, and they employ on
an average of about sixty-five hands, most of
whom are women. The wages paid are about
five dollars a week, but some of the employes, of
course, make more, and some less, than that,
amount. The kind of work does not require vefy
highly skilled labor.
The success of this factory proves that manu
facturing of thi* kind can be profitably done in
the south ; and moreover, it proves the eminent
fitness of Columbus as a manufacturing point.
We take just pride in our bagging factory, and
wish there were a hundred other factories as well
and successfully conducted as this one is.
THK TOWN < <»V.
Another Reason RhyMie Mlist Lo -A Suggestion
as to lion to Pasture Them.
Enquiri:r-Sun: Emboldened by your editorial
of yesterday on the subject of the now famous
town cow. 1 too will venture to add my mite to
the suggestions already made, and p< rliaps in
the multitude of counsel, our city fathers will find
safety even though the counsel be volunteered.
There is another consideration which
does not seem to have occurred to
any of your previous correspondents, and
that is the duty we owe to our country
friend-, and surely Mr. Editor, now as the heated
season comes on apace, we ought to be very con
siderate of our country cousins, for some of u«
might want to maku.a visit to the country soon.
From my office window 1 see many country
wagons and buggies, driven in the .shade on
Broad streeo and the mules and horses fed. and
before the unsuspectingcouiitiyman ha- regained
the sidewalk, our friend Watt’s flowery scented
brindle, with the crumpled born, lias seized Un
bundle of toddle, or oats, as the case maybe,
and with a haste born of anticipated brickbats,
far away before the theft is discovered. And so
it is, even when provender is left in the wagons or
under the buggy seats, the hungry cows soon
scent it out. and leisurely devour what was in
tended to feetl some hungry mule, whose owner
has come many dusty miles, and is even now,
while this sumptuous meal i> in progiess,
trailing, perchauce with Mrs. Cow s master, tor
corn and hay. In short, the town cow i- an un
mitigated nuisance to our country friends when
they come here to trade with us.
Jr there is any fear tliat the south commons
will not be utilized if the cow is prohibited, then
let tlie city enclose the commons and charge a
nominal rental to those who wish to pasture cows
there: or let the city rent, the commons to sons
one who will enclose it, and rent it to cow owner-,
for pasturage. Butin all events, the townco.v
must go. * Carthago delendo.”

Bouton tourists who passed through Columbus

champion of the Carolina*, will also come. The
event of each day will 1m? the 1, 5 10 miles for the
championship of Georgia. Every city in i leorgi:.
will try to wrest it tYom Columbus, but Ingram,
who has held it for three years, will try to win
IVesh laurels for tlu* Lowell of the South. Th.
tournament will he composed of only amateui
riders and the prizes art* very handsome, many of
them contributed by the bicycle dealers of the
north. The Columbus club has every reason to
believe that their efforts will meet with -uccesv.
and that the good people of Columbus will dt.
their share by lending their presence and tliu-
giving tlu :r hearty support.

There is no comfort or luxury equal to a goof

on the high grade of gas the Columbus Gas Light

and did so on the 1st of May. the consumption e!

the dirty oil lamp has been discarded and ga-

Columwus, Ga., June 12. -To the Editor: After
carefully reading the article which appeared in
your local columns this morning upon the sub
ject "Trouble Over the Sidetrack." I concluded it i
was but proper that other Diets should be made
known to the public.
It is stated that Mrs. Kavanagh bus ..led a bill i
to restrain the railroad from using this side- |
track, principally because the use of it has dopre- I
dated the value of her property 25 per cent.,
and has also rendered her houses less lesirable
to rent or live in. and in consequence die loses
part of her rent.
When this side track was first put in..Mr*
Kavanagh expressed the opinion to ^property
holder of that vicinity, that the effect would be
injurious to their interest*. He gave her his
opinion that such would not be the case, but Mrs.
K. was so much impressed with her opinion, that
the gentleman offered to buy her property at tin-
city assessment, but she declined tc sell. Tlie
same gentleman is willing to purchase the prop
erty now at a fair valuation, and certainly wquUI
not expect to buy it for twenty-five j>$.r c^pt.. or
in fact any less than it was worth when iliis side
track was first put in. He considers it as griod as
other investments in real estate of that class, in
this city, and bases his judgment on the fact, that
the dwellings on this same block, ami even ad
joining Mrs. Kavanagh’s property, rent readily.
If Mrs. Kavanagh’s house is unoccupied much
of the time, it is very probable that the cause is.
she wishes higher rent than others ask Tor the
same class of houses.
If Mrs. Kavanagh has been much annoyed or
pecuniarily injured by this side-track, the option
of an easy remedy has always been hers, viz : to
sell her property.
It certainly does not seem just that the discom
fort or pecuniary loss of one person, (when such
trouble can be as easily remedied as above sug
gested), should cause the removal of a side-track
that is so valuable to the best interests of the city:
more especially as the railroad would, in that
event, be compelled to remove all the side
tracks now used for the benefit of manufacturing
interests, and this would effect the ice factory,
.Swill manufacturing company, guau<» works, oil
mill and barrel factory.
Trusting you will give this space in your valua
ble columns, I am, respectfully yours,
Bonnie Foi.
