We find a pleasant call Thursday from Miss Ella Greene, of Cochran, general .■gent of the Southern Home Magazine, published by E. T. Byington & Co., of that pi >cu. Miss G. is au intelligent, noble young lady, and is untiring iu the bard work of canvassing for sub scribers and making an inepeudeufc l*v- ing. We must say that there are in .he world more heroines than heroes, and .Toa-i of Are is not more worthy of immortal finue than many mothers and daughters of onr own day and cojmtry. While the grandeur aud excitement of battle might nerve a girl to scale the nails of a fortress, it requires a far greater heroism to battle daily with the . aiiut foe adversity, where one has no Inn'rels to win, and no cheers of com- patriot hosts wlide mouuting the tem ple of fame. We wish Miss Greene and her cause abundant success, though Sou them literary ventures have not generally met with very liberal sup port. Mr. J. S. Barfield, of Macon, and his brother, were in Iluustou county on a visit last week. The genial eoiiDteuance of Mac Da vis was iu town Tuesday. He was wish ing a merry Christmas to tho'patrous of tlie Telegraph & Messenger. Charlie Cox, of Macon, was in town last week. " ’Tis sweet to know there is au eye will mark onr coming,” etc. Judge Je;se Holfzcluw, of Dalton, was in town last week, but he didn’t whip us fur telling that big lie on him inst fali. Mr. Giles Jobson. of Augusta, is m Perry visiting relatives. Mr. S. A. Touusley bus gotten able to return to Perry, but is still quite feeble. Charley Brown has leased the Mrs. Rountree plantation, aud will tackle king cotton this year. «n» Religious.-—The first Quarterly Meeting for Fort Valiev aud Perry will be held with the Perry church' January 11th and 12th ltev.

Pkstor. succumbed to the destroying element, Iu the row stood thickly cro wded to gether, the stores of M. J. Hatcher, C. S. Johnson, H. W. Taylor, Tuck Toomer, Mr. Davis and Slappey & Ha fer. The fire originated in the store of tbe latter gentlemen, aud, very proba bly, was accidental. It was not discov ered until the flames had overspread the whole inside of the building, and bad burst out here aud there on the outsid.e, and while it is snpposed that it canght fire from the inside, yet it is possible that it was set on tire from without.— All. however, believe it was the result of accident. The store m which it started is at the west-.end of the row aud Providence fa vored us with r gentle east wind, which rendered the progressed the fire slow.— This was greatly to our advantage; for, while we cculd not hope to save one of those six stores, yet it gave us time to save a great deal of valuable property. A very large crowd, both of whites and blacks, were on the ground very quick ly; and with a will went to work to savt the goods, and succeeded iu getting cv_ erytlnng portable out of the stores ex cept that of Slappey & Hafer. Their •took was entirely consumed. Too much praise cannot be bestowed ou the colored people for the active they displayed and tho valuable aid they rendered ou this distressing occa sion. They did all they could have done if it had been their own propert-. but,-unfortunately, tf ter the fire had spent its fury, . some of them became riotous fiorn the too freely imbibing of whitky, and behaved very badly. Siappey aud Hafer had insurance to tho amount of §310!) aud estimate their lose on slore ab nit §17J0 stock about §4800 H. W. Taylor, C. S. Johnson -»ud M. J. Hatcher were lusuied ou stock*, respectfully $890.1000 §18,00. They saved from the fire, as already •stated, ail their goods, but these were necessarily more or less dahiuged, and their loss by stealage cannot be estima ted. Mr. Davis had uo insurance, but his loss is light. I have said that all tin- goods except Slappay and Hafei we: e tdkeu out of the stores; but I hud for gotten that Tucker Toomer, a colored man who bad a small stock of tobacco, candy, peanuts etc, lias his good', aud $30 in money burned. I do not know liis loss. Mr. W. H. Felton owned four of tin- buildings, ifad ou these had $1,250 in surance only. Loss about §3000. Air. Johuson had $500 ou his store, and E. B. Baldwin who owned the oth er had S509 iusuriynce. Dr. E. H. Rawls aud J. A .ElwarJs had their office consumed, but saved all their boocs and other properly. Several of mi- merchants will be out of business for a time, but it is thought, a handsome block of brick buildings wdl speedily rise up on the ruins of the oldwooden ones, and all of them be again supplied with rooms better adapt ed to their bussiucss mid viis-ly inoie secure 'from the ravages of fire—so mote it be. J. A. E. AIcuder in Crawford.—Mr. A. H. Murchtnson, of near Hickory Grove, Crawford County, was found dead in the road the other day, stabbed in sev enteen places. Green Thurman, a iveiL to do negro, was found in his house not far off shot in the shoulder. Au inquest beiug held, Green Thurman and his sons Isams and Young Green aud Joel alias Louis "Hall were charged with the crime aud committed tben- for. The theory is that a difficulty sprang up" between Mr. Mrchinson au.d Green and on the la tter being shot, his sons stabbed Mr. M. to death. Mr. Barnes, sheriff of Crawford with a select guard bronght- the prisoners to be kept iii Soustoa County jail un til Crawford Crnrt meets in March. They also brought another negro charged with hog hi-ntidg Chew Jackson's Best Sweet Navy Tobacco. Dec.—4th lrr. Legal Blanks,—We have jn&t re ceived a new lot of Warrantee Deeds, Distress Warrants, etc., which we will sell cheap for cash. Also a lot of mis cellaneous blanks. Cremation.—The facts of the ease of the burning of §1000, woith of garden seed by ns this evening, are these, but We "are determined that none fresh aud reliable seed shall go from onr house in the future. Customers can rely on us to give them goods which arc warranted to be fresh anil true to name as wiil not under any circum stances handle commission seed as we know them to be worthless in nearly every case. Hunt, Rankin & Lamar. Seed Cremation?—A large crowd gathered about nightfall last night, in front of the store of Messrs, Hunt Rankin & Lamar, where an immense bonfire of old garden seed illuminated the gloom and darknes of the dripping evening. Many of these would doubt less have germinated, bat the proprie tors were resolved that their seed de partment should be above suspicion, and hence their wholesale cremation Now, Hereafter, farmers and gardener' may i - est assured "when they come in quest of good sound “garden suss” seed in Macon they will get the Sim mon-pure .by calling upon Messrs. Hunt, Rankin' &. Lamar. Too often housekeepers lose an entire season by depending upen spurious seeds for their early vegetables. And nothing is certainly more provoking. The boys enjoyed the bonfire, and it was astonishing how brightly aud fiercely the seeds burned. Garden Seed Fire,—Yesterday after noon and eveuing Cherry street near Second, and in fact tbe neigbborhoood was peifumed with an an -aroma, not Arabic, of burning seeds fired by Mes- ',‘s.
