Hariison preached two more of his inimitable sermons in Columbus last Sunday, preaching in the morning at St. 1*11111 and at night at St. Luke. Last Sunday closed his min istrations among us. His preaching here was enjoyed by hundreds, and he will long be re membered as one of the most eloquent men that ever faced a congregation in Columbus. The Fair at the Hotel Kiddle. There will be a church fair at the Hotel Riddle to-night under the auspices of the Juvenile Mis sionary Society of St. Paul’s church. It will be a most complete and elegant affair, and a large crowd are expected to be in attendance.

Everett, D. It. Rowell, J. M. Osborn, Trustees. The officers will be installed next Monday night by Mr. I). R. Bize, district deputy. Death of Mrs. W. I. Hudson. The Enquirer-Sun received a telegram Inst night announcing the death of Mrs. Hudson, wife of Judge W. I. Hudson, of Hamilton. She had been ill many weeks and her death was not un expected. Its announcement, however, will carry sorrow to mauy hearts. No purer or nobler woman ever lived, and her life was one of devo tion to the cause of Christianity, to her family and to her friends. Her deeds of love and charily were many, and all who came under the influ ence of her lovable character were benefited. The bereaved husband will have the sympathy of a host of friends throughout the state in this' hour of deep aflliction. A NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT. Washington City to llare a Magnificent Display of L’ltlxen Soldiery—Let the Columbaa Guard* Attend. The citizens of Washington, D. C., have sub scribed a guarantee ftind of $50,000 to ensuro prompt payment of prizes and expenditures at a national drill and encampment which will take- place in May next. Entries will be open to regular volunteer militia of the United States, for competition as regiments, battalions or companies, in infantry, artillery, cavalry, etc. Grand preparations arc being made to make the drill and encampment the most extensive ever held In this country. It is probable that every state in the union will bo represented by one or more companies. There will be regimental, battalion, company, zouave, target practice and individual prizes ranging from |50 to f5000. It is well known that the south lias the best drilled companies in the country, and we venture to say that this section will capture the biggest money. If thirty-three reliable men can be enlisted by January 15tli, who will agree to drill two nights a week in January, three nights a week in Febru ary. four nights a week in March, April and May. the Columbus Guards can attend the drill with every prospect of taking a stand of which the friends ol the company and the citizens of Co lumbus may well be proud. To the Citizen* of Columhus. I find an impression existing, I know not to what extent, that Rev. J. U. Campbell, D. D„ holds liis appointment as city missionary fYom the First Baptist church of this city, and under that erroneous impression some claim that it is the duty of that church alone to support him and blame the church for not doing so. Dr. Campbell is not the appointee of the First Baptist church, nor of the Columbus association. He is a public almoner for the city of Columbus, and liis office is absolutely non-sectarian. It is true that the First Baptist church has been, and is, contribu ting ns an organization toward his support; it is true, I think, that tie First Baptist church is the only organization in the city that docs contri bute a “fixed and definite” amount as such for this purpose; it is true that the ladies of the First Baptist church frequently assist Dr. C. in distributing alms; and it is true that D. N. J. Bussey, a prominent member of the First Baptist church, has, heretofore, kind ly canvassed the city once a year in his behalf but all tliis does not constitute him an appointee of tlmt church. Dr. Campbell is a public benefnctoi, and, as such, he is entitled to public support. The gen erous business men of Columbus have never yet been appealed to in vain in this behalf. Now that the facts in the case are distinctly published, it is hoped that the liberal people of our liberal city will be more liberul than ever be fore. The opportunity will be Afforded them dur ing this week. The former canvasser is, physical ly, unable to make liis usual round this winter, but 1 propose, I). V., to act as his unworthy sub stitute, and thus, gladly, to “wash the feet’’of one of the Lord’s ministers. Roar. II. Harris, Pastor First Baptist Church. December 27, 1886. THE KNIGHTS OF HONOR. They Have Their Annual Election of Officers ami Enjoy un Oyster Supper. Columbus Lodge No. 631, Knights of Honor, held its annual election of officers lust iiight, which resulted as follows: Dictator-W. P. Hunt. Vice-dictator—H. J. Abbott. Assistant dictator—J. M. McNeill. Reporter— M. M. Moore. Finanel.il reporter—J. L. Howell. Treasurer—J. A. Lange. Chaplain—J. M. Estes. Guide -J. T. Cot per. Guardian—L It. Hoopes. Sentinel—T. G. Coleman. Past dictator and representative to Girard lodge — F. C. Wcisiger. Alternate—J. II. Gabriel. Trustees—G. E. Thomas, jr.; J. II. Gabriel, D. It. Bize. Col. Frank Mott, of Denver, past grand dicta tor of Colorado, was present at the meeting and made a short speech which was greatly enjoyed. After the business meeting was ovei the* mem bers and officers of the lodge partook ol an jyater supper which had been prepared under the supervision of Mr. T. G. Coleman. There was no formality or speechmakiug and every body got down to the business on hand at once. The occasion was one which all present heartily enjoyed. PeroMial. Ben Cummings, of Atlanta, Texas, is in the Fact* from For(sou. Fortson, December 27.—There was a Christmas tree celebration at Shiloh church on Friday even ing, and one at Mount Zion on Saturday evening. The tree at Mount Zion is said to have contained over $50 worth of presents. This tree caught on fire during the euterta'inuent, and but for the presence of mind and prompt action of oue of the ladies there would doubtless have been a serious panic. The men looked and listened at the p p- ping of the fire-crackers in astonishment, but this heroine began at once to fight the fire, and soon had it extinguished. Here is a little incident connected with this tree which illustrates the evil and mischievous pro pensities of boyish nature: After the Mount Zion boys had hunted the woods over in search of a tree to their fancy, and at last decided upon a particular one, they told some of the Shiloh boys where that beautiful tree could be found. And Mi city. Mr. J. L. Dozier, of Talbotton, Ga., is in the ity. Miss Minnie Cox left for Mulberry Grove yes terday. Messrs. J. B. Hill and E. M. Seabrook went over to Birmingham yesterday. Mr. J. L. Dennis, editor of the Hamilton Journal, was in the city yesterday. Messrs. W. C. Bradley and Frank Tigner left for Upatoie yesterday on a hunting expedition. "Mr. Joe \V. Palmer is spending the holidays in the city, the guest of Mrs. Joseph E. Webster. Mr. A. Derick, who has been spending the Christmas at Hampton, Ga., returned to tlie city yesterday. Mr. Charles Parker, of Shreveport, La., passed through the city yesterday en route to Hamilton to visit his mother. Miss Alice Clark and Miss Willie May Wyche, of Macon, are visiting the family of Mr. Walter Wyche, on Fourth avenue. It will be gratifying to Mrs. P. W. Alexander’s many friends in the city to know that in future she will make Columbus her home. Captain Kline and Major Rodgers, of the Southwestern railroad, reached the city from Macon yesterday in their private car. The First Baptist Church. Rev. Thomas Dickson, pastor of the Baptist church at Goldsboro, N. C., preached two ser mons at the First Baptist church in this city on Sunday last. The first was a Christmas sermon preached at 11 o’clock, and the subject was han dled in a way as impressive as it was possible to be. The minister captured the attention of the large congregation as soon as he beg in his dis course uiui held them almost speil-bound to the conclusion. “And the common people heaul Him gladly” was his text. Ii does not seem pos sible that it could be treated in a more impas sive, persuasive and able maun-M*. His illustra tions were so apt that t lu y appeared made for the occasion. His sermon at night was equally as interesting, though taking the difficult task of presenting the uegative side of a positive subject. Mr. Dickson has won many warm friends dur ing his visit to the city. Though only twenty- two years of age; and th >ugh he has been preach ing only a few months, he has already attained a prominence that years of hard study ami experi ence do not often attain. He certainly has a life of much usefulness ahead of him, aud his many frieuds here trust that it may bo realized in the very fullest measure. A Christina* Dinner. On Sunday Mr. John Sclierf gave his patrons and many of his friends a Christmas dinner at attest. This was foreshadowed by the menu published in the Enquirer-Sun on Saturday, yet but few even among those who recognize in Mr. Scherfono of the most successful caterers In the land, had an idea that such an elegant dinner would be served. One thing that added to the pleasure of the occasion and most thoroughly evinced that Mr. Bcherf Ailly understands how to keep a hotel, was the prompt and accurate movements of the servants. They are trulncd like clock work, and at this dinner each one vied to see which could be the most attentive. The Christmas dinner was a grand success and a Ids one more to the many laurels won by the genial proprietor. Rev. W. A. Ilufknhac. Rev. W. A. Huckabee, who for the past two years has been pastor of Broad Street church, leaves for his new charge this morning. He goe* to Quitman circuit, in Brooks county. He carries with him the best wishes of the people of this city for liis fill urc prosperity, happiness and success in his chosen work. He has endeared himself to the people here, and especially among his own church and congregation. Few minis ters could have been so instrumental in accom plishing the work that has been done at liis church. Burdened with a debt that had been liang'ng over it for years, ho has succeeded in j paying it to the last dime. The church has had many accessions, and is now in fini* condition. Mr. Huckabee requests the Enquirer-Sun to say that the citizens here have his sincerest thanks for the kind treatment ho has received, and he leaves them with regrets that such pleas ant associations must be severed. He cannot say good-bye to each one personally, and takes tliis means of doiug so. LOCAL LACONICS. —Barney Hawkins has opened a rostauranton Twelfth street, called the Belle Union. What Barney don’t know about keeping a restaurant ain’t worth knowing. —The telephone would have done valuable service Sunday morning at 3 o’clock, when the fire caught Mr. Willcox’s outhouses, if the cen tral office could have been gotten in time. —The bed in Mr. Dan Rowell’s house caught fire yesterday and was in a blaze when the fam ily discovered it. but hard work savt d the build ing from catching. —Mr. Font Grimes has been appointed ticket agent of the Louisville and Nashville at Birming ham. Tiie company will have no better on nil its lines. —A mad dog belonging to Mr. Henry Garrett, of Girard, was killed in Biowneville yesterday. —The steamed Pactolus arrived yesterday morning at 6:46 o’clock. She had on board 363 bales of cotton consigned as follows : Blanchard, Burrus As Co., 134: Carter & Bradley, 68; Eagle and Pheuix mills, 56 Flournoy &Ep;ing, 4P; Slade & Etheredge, 28; Swill & Son, 28. —Mr. T. J. Cordray and Miss Sunny Cardwell, of Harris county, were married on Thursday and are visiting relatives in the city. — it is a deplorable fact that the telephone, the fire alarm and the water works all refused to work when the fire broke out Sunday morning.

Willcox, on Fifth avenue, was destroyed by tire about 4 o’clock on Sunday morning. The fire originated in a small huiMiug on an adjoini-ig lot near his stable. The stable and carriage were burning when the fam ily was aroused. It was impossible to approach the stable to liberate the family horse which was housed therein, and the animal was burned to death. A buggy, carriage, wagon, harness, etc., were also lost. The flames then spread to the kitchen, burning the building and its entire contents The tiro was very hot, and the roof of the family residence which stood near by was soon burning rapidly. The arrival of the fire department pre vented its total destruction. It was a frame structure and the walls and ground floor, while considerably damaged are not entirely destroyed. The entire roof, however, was burned off\ The amount of insurance on the dwelling, out houses an I furniture was $5100, which is a total loss except a little salvage of the furniture. Mr. O. C. Ilarrell, who lives with Mr. Willcox, lost all of liis furnituro. He was fully insured. Something tliout Farm L.dior. Fortson, Ga., December 27.- Our hands are all demoralized because it is Christmas. They don’t want to cook or wash or feed the stock or milk or help nurse the children without a great dcai of coaxing and double pay in the bargain. It is a groat mistake for a farmer to hire hands until Christmas and pay them up in full the day before Christmas. Let it be understood that they are to set in from new yearis day until new year’s day, and receive a settlement in full on the last day of the old year. There is a disposition, too, among our farmers to lie quiet for the first, two or three months of tne year aud not hire their labor until near the end of the first quarter of the year. That, too, tends to demoralize and disorganize labor. Let the labor of your country know that it can re ceive due compensation for every day’s work out of the 335 and it will not flock to the towns and railroads for employment. The country and tlie farm has its charms for the darkey »is well as the white man, and the best labor of th? country will be satisfied to stick to the farm as long us It can find lucrative aud steady employment.
