short-comings and imperfections which m«w, ... , , . , - , ,
upon summing up the whole, appear throughout j thmgs and what we have said scarcely amounts
the path of my official duty.
I can assure you they are errors of the head
nd not of the heart. My heart yet beats
its first love for the noble work of our associa
tion. which I trust will double each succeeding
year’s growth, as we have gained in the year
which this night draws to its close. The past year
has been one of great gain in tne work
of the Y. M. C. A. in our midst. While we have
met with some reverses and difficulties in our
work, we must not be discouraged by our misfor
tunes, but encouraged by our success, and reach
still ffirthcr to newer and broader fields of labor
in the Master’s vineyard.
Boon after the annual meeting of last year,
brother C. A. Lieklider, of Petersburg, Vn., paid
us a visit under the auspices of the international
committee of the Young Mens’Christian Associa
tion, nnd alter delivering one or two lectures on
■ the importance of maintaining the work, , made
a canvass of our city which resulted in a sub-
to a faint outline of his address. Those i
heard him last night hope to hear him again.
October ikies.
October, like September, gives the moon the
first place in the celestial panorama. The moon
is already nearing her first quarter, and will be
full late on the evening of the 12th of the month.
Hhe does not linger, ns she did last month, rising
for almost a week at nearly the same time. The
only lingering is from the 12th to the 15tli, when
her time for rising is only a little over half an
hour later every evening.
Afler the middle of the month the moon will
bo out of the way, and the stars, no 1 nger
eclipsed by her superior brilliancy, will have a
ript ion of nearly I$I50 for the support of a gen- ) chance to show themselves. The planets have
oral secretary for this year. While the sum sub- 1
scribed was hardly sufficient for the support of a
not yet returned from their vacation and are in-
| visible in the early evening. Mars and Jupiter
J arc both so close to the sun that they are lost in
! the twilight, and Venus is morning star, rising
; now at an hour—about 1 o’clock—when nobody
is likely to be out of doors to look at her.
! There are various conjunctions and other
J astronomical event? during the mouth, but they
are ofiritorest only to astronomers, being invisi-
•cretary for the entire year, it was decided ti
make a call to the extent of our means,
hi January of this year a call was extended to
Biother Louis F. Ruf, of Freehold, N. J., who ac
cepted the call and at once entered upon the dis
charge of his duties. Brother Ruf continued to
till tin* office of general secretary until the last of
July, when, for reasons best known to himself,
and satisfactory to the association, he resigned
his position end returned to New Jersey. The
wnn* of sufficient linanciul means preveritod the i , .
work from being prosecuted in all its various l ” e ^ ie or dinary observer, and nearly all oc-
branclies to its fullest extent, as was our desire j curring in broad daylight, when nobody can see

TIIF CITY COURT.
Second Day’s Proceedings of Hie October Term.
Judge Porter In gr a in Presiding.
The city court met at 9 o’clock yesterday morn
ing, Judge Poter Ingram presiding. The jury in
the case of Thomas and Poibody, adminis- !
trators, vs. J. W. Clements, security, being out

and judgment for plaintiff'.

Vordict for the defendant.
Four cases were continued and two settled.
The grand jury returned eight true bills and j
one no bill.
At 3:15 the court took a recess until 9 o’clock !
this morning.
labor of Brother Ruf in our midst bore its frilit.
Our connection with Brother Ruf will always
he remembered with pleasure, and
although he is working in other fields,
we earnestly pray God’s blessings upon his la
bor. Since brother RuF’s departure we have
been without a general secretary nnd the work
of the association has been carried on by its
members—of course upon a much smaller scale
and calculated to bear much smaller results for
the Master’s kingdom.
Another step of progress made during the past
year was the establishment of the hoard of direc
tors. Experience has shown in all well organized
associations that, much valuable time has been
spent in discussing financial matters by the
young men which should have been given to
discussing means, ami earnest prayers for the
salvation of their fellow young men. It was
therefore decided to separate the two and
to accomplish this end the board of
directors were chosen from among the
prominent men of our city, who proceeded at
once to secure a charter for the Young Men’s
Christian Association of Columbus, Georgia, and
who are, by virtue of the by-laws of said Associa
tion, the legal custodians and trustees for all its
property. Said board have exclusive control and
management of their finances. This we regard
as one of the most important steps of our pro
gress for two reasons, viz.: It relieves the young
men of the burden of finances, and allows the
whole oftheir time and energies to be spent in
the spiritual work, which is the principal object
of our association.
Second, it assures a proper and judicious ex
penditure of all money subscribed for the benefit
of the association by men of undoubted
integrity and recognized ability to faith
fully and impartially administer their affairs,
thereby securing public confidence in our organ
ization and making it worthy of that liberal
support which I am sure it will meet at the
hands of our friends, during the coming year. , rf _. i „
If I am allowed to cast, a prospective glance I « " ln ’ . * f u_
forward through the rowing year, (over the I lowln,! wtts the Programme:
policy of whose administration I shall have no I Vocal duet, “Juanita,” Miss Sullie McGehee
control.) I ^ will say Jit is, the , hope ^ of the | and Mr. George Tigner; Recitation, “ Betsy Haw
kins in the city,” Miss Nettie Bray; Vocal Solo,
them. Jupiter and Venus will be in conjunction
on the 22d, and will rise that morning an hour
before sunrise, pretty close together, so that a
sharp-eyed observer will be sure to find them.
The fixed stars, so called, make up f« r the poor
display of the planets. Arcturus is still visible in
the western sky, but Spica has disappeared.
Vega’s serene light shows almost overhead early
in the evening. The Milky Way is in the zenith,
with all its attendant constellations—Cassiopeia’s
Chair, Job’s Coffin, the Swan and the Eagle. The
Pleiades climb above tho northeastern horizon
soon afler sunset, and before 10 o’clock the
Hyados also are plainly visible; and a little later
in tho moath, Procyon, Castor and Pollux, and
Anally great Orion, with all his gems, will come
into view.
Tho sun ought to have a word at least in any
survey of the October astronomical events. Be
ing just past the equinox, oar days are still almost
twelve hours long. Th« sun rose this morning
at 5:57, and will set to-night at 5:41 On the 31st
he will not rise Until 6:30, and will set at 5 o’clock,
making the day only ten and a half hours long.

Arrival of tin* Ni*
Rout at
Night.
flit* Wharf Last
At 8 o’clock Inst night the whistle of a strange
boat was heard on the river. As it lmd been pre
viously announced that the new steamer Puctolus
would arrive on Tuesday, a large crowd hurried
down to the wharf to greet her. Sure enough, it
was the Puctolus. She came gliding up the river
like a real thing of life, but just before
reaching the wlmrf she ran aground. In a
few minutes, however, she was afloat
again, and soon pulled up along side the wharf.
More than one hundred people boarded her, and
all were delighted with her appearance. She had
no freight or passengers, as the river is so low
that it is difficult for even an empty steamer to
navigate it. She was under command of Captain
Samuel J. Whiteside, one of the principal owners,
and was piloted by Mr. Charles Wingate.
The Pactolus was built at Jeforsonville, I ml., at
a cost of about $20,000. She is the largest steamer
on the Chattahoochee river, being 135 feet long
and twenty-eight feet wide. She has twenty-
eight state rooms in the cabin and eight in the
Texas. She draws only two feet of water and is
one of the fastest boats on the river. She has
a capacity of 800 bales of cotton.
The Pactolus is a substantially built steamer
and her passenger accommodations arc first-
class. She has all the modern improvements
and will no doubt prove a favorite with the
traveling public.
Captain Whiteside says the trip around was as
pleasant as could have been desired. No trouble
whatever was experienced, except the few min
utes delay caused by running aground just be
fore reaching the wharf.
The Puctolus will be tied up until there is a rise
in the river, when she will take the place of the
Naiad while the latter is being thoroughly t ver-
hauled.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

Treasurer—J. Lee Harris.
Rev. U. G. N. Macdoiieil in a few well-timed re
marks introd uded
REV. J. H. HAWTHORNE, I) I).,
of Atlanta, who had beon chosen to deliver the
anniversary address. The address was a master
piece of eloquence and impressed the audience
most favorably. We regret that we are unable
to present it to our readers, or at least to give
them a full synopsis of the doctor's speech. The
address was particularly to young men. He
began by paying the Y. M. C. A. a very high
compliment. He said that outside of the
churches the Y. M. C. A. had done more for the
present generation than any other institution
under God’s heaven; that its platform was broad
enough to hold every man who believed in the
Lord Jesus Christ, lie bade them God speed in
the great work they were doing.
He spoke of tin* magnificence of the Y. M. C. A.
Hall tli.-1 is being erected in Atlanta, and of the
generosity of her citizens iu contributing $80,000
to build it. It is the fashion ot Georgia cities, he
said, to compete with Atlanta in everything. He
hoped that Columbus would imitate her in this
respect. He had had the pleasure of seeing 1600
young men—the very flower and chivalry of At
lanta—in line against liquor, and the members
of the Y. M. C. A. stood foremost in the ranks.
No man could be better thau his ideal. If a
man’s ideal was a prize fighter, he would be just
as coarse and brutal in his nature as was his
ideal. If a man’s ideal was a dandy, a clothes
man, perfect in the art of cosmetics, the central
figure of a german club, he would be just as
worthless as his ideal. On the other hand, let
his ideal be a great, good and just man, and his
life and character would be iu accord with these.
He referred in glowing terms to the lives of
Rodger Sherman, General R. E. Lee and Alexan
der H. Stephens. His tribute to General Lee was
oue of the most eloqueut bits of oratory we have
ever heard. We will not attempt to quote it, lost
we do the talented speaker injustice.
He said that iu this world everything was
material. Here are all the means of our salva
tion and for our development into grand and
glorious manhood.
