Milledgeville, July 4th, 1S73.
Messrs. Alihmin :
I would be pleased to see the side
walk from the Masonic corner down
to the Milledgeville Man’fg Co. re
paired, for it is in a bad fix. It might
save the county money.
A Citizen.
Fourth of July in SSiliedgeville.
The4tli was celebrated in this city
by the colored population. The fire
company gave a barbacue, and had as
their guests the “Lincoln Guards”, a
military company from Macon. A
base ball club from Sparta was also in
the city and a match game was played
with a like organization of this place.
At an early hour our streets were
black with the wards of the nation —
The fire company met their guests at
the depot, and escorted them, with
martial music, through the city to En
campment Hill, whither they were
followed in large numbers by the blacks
from town and country, the black fair
sex being a conspicuous part, leaving
our streets comparatively quiet.
In the afternoon the “ Lincoln
Guards” paraded on the principal
streets—the first native military com
pany, fully armed and equipped, that
I has matireuvered iu these streets since
the surrender; notwithstanding the
! ‘‘Baldwin Blues”, a company compos-
! our best citizens, organized and
applied for arms more than a year ago.
Me only state tacts without comment.
The “Lincoln Guards” were composed
of about forty able-bodied men/ rank
and file, in which the yellow color
largely predominated.
Our white population quietly pur
sued their daily avocations, or attend
ed divine worship—the District Con
ference being in session here.
Good order prevailed, and no “on-
pleasuntness” occurred to mar the joy
°f the ‘glorious fourth’-r-the whites
relinquishing to the negroes, without a
murmur, the day they once delighted
to celebrate. The livery stables, ba
keries, fruit stores, candy shops and
koda fountains were liberally patron-
: '/ed ; and the sun went down as the
country darkey plodded his weary way
homeward (more tired than if he had
worked all day in the cotton field,) his
pockets empty and his stomach full of
—disgust for the ‘airs put on by town
niggers who don’t know where they’ll
get their next dinner.’ But sich is
life!

Morning Session, July-4th, ’73.
This session of the Conference was
opened with religious services by Rev.
J. M. Lowery.
Rev. A. J. Jarrell called the atten
tion of-Pastors to their neglect in send
ing names of their delegates to Dis
trict Conferences, and hoped in future
it would be corrected.
Proceeding with the report from
the churches, Crawfoidville Circuit,
Hancock Circuit, Milledgeville Sta
tion, Baldwin Circuit were represent
ed by their respective Pastors.
The Bishop appointed the following
committee to consolidate a report on
all the interests of the Church: W. A.
Clarke, M. S. Medlock and Benj. Les
ter.
The Conference adjourned till after
noon.
Afternoon Session, 3 o’clock.
Conference opened with religious
exercises conducted by Rev. Thos. A.
Seals.
The Bishop expressed the opinion
that the reports thus for had been
about as favorable as he had generally
heard at similar Conferences. He
then endeavored to impress'upon the
Conference the importance of stirring
up the members of the Church on the
subject of Bible reading, family wor
ship, &c. A highly interesting ex
pression of views on this subject was
then engaged in by different members
of the Conference.
The following resolutions by Dr.
Jatne« S. Jones, was offered and passed
by a rising vote:
Resolved, That the members of the
Augusta District Conference pledge
ourselves .to pray with our families as
the discipline requires, and that we
urge upon our brethren by all proper
means the discharge of this' important
duty.
By Capt. T. F. Newell, Resolved, That
it be made a part of Pastors duties in
this District to correctly ascertain and
report to the next District Conference
the number of heads of families, who
hold family prayers, and the number
who do not. The resolutibn wu? pass

delegates were appointed to suggest

The Sunday Schools of this city as
sembled at the Methodist Church last
Sabbath afternoon to listen to ad
dresses by Bishop Pierce and Dr.
Hicks. These addresses were instruc
tive and entertaining to the children
and well calculated to awaken in the
minds of parents and teachers a more
lively interest in this great work.—
The wonderful power of Dr. Ilicks
to gain and hold the undivided atten
tion of his hearers extends to the
children, and they listened spell-bound
to his lively and encouraging words
or his solemn warnings.

. CROPS.
Cotton Prospect in Texas.—A
correspondent of the Galveston News
gives a very gloomy picture of the
crops in the Lower Brazos and Color
ado. He says he has seen nothing like
the present season in many years.—
The grass and weeds, which are from
ten inches to two feet high, cover the
entire cotton fields like a green carpet,
except where one or two furrows have
been run next to the drill of the cotton,
and a majority of the farmers have
made up their minds to the loss of
over one-fourth of the crop. The
great discouragement is the certainty
that such weather will produce the
cotton worm.
The reports of the growing crops
in Arkansas and Mississippi are de
cidedly more encouraging.
Crop News.—Wc have been highly
gratified at the crop news we have re
ceived during the past week from
Floyd, Chattooga and Polk counties.
The wheat crop has been harvested
and a large part of it threshed out. In
some sections of these three counties
about a half crop has been made—
the crop will not however average ex
ceeding a tlurd. The oat crop is good
and the yield will probably be greater
than for a number of years—the
heads are large, fine and well devel
oped and the stalk is unusually good.
Clover is looking splendidly—the great
trouble is there is not enough ground
in clover. Very little rye is grown in
these counties. Corn never looked
better nor promised a larger yield—
the stalks are all large and fine and
the ear is well developed for this ear
ly in the season—this crop will, with
good seasons, be the largest since the
war. Cotton is promising, and unless
an unforeseen accident should happen,
the cotton crop will be very heavy.—
The farmers, however, are fearful that
the seasons will be uupropitious and
cut their present bright prospects off.
Apples, peaches, plums, and all kinds
Our minister would be here with
his bride the next Sabbath. Wlmt he
had told us, was all we knew of her—
she was coming among strangers. But
our young minister was very dear to
his people, and a joyous, kindly greet
ing awaited them. In this hearty good
will all denominations united, for the
man who came to stand before us, in
the few brief months of his ministry,
had won the esteem and regard of the
community.
As they entered the little church on
that bright February morning, the or
gan pealed out a grand prelude, fol
lowed by that noble hymn—Rock oj
Ages. The words were the same old
familiar words, the music Warren’s
beautiful composition. The lady who
played was the daughter of a distin
guished minister of another denomina
tion. She had been the friend and
playmate of George in his childhood,
and this day united in worship with
his little flock—the “little Benjamin”
of our city churches.
I he months rolled on and our min
ister’s wife found herself the centre of
a large circle of admiring friends. A
few weeks after her coming she be
came our organist, and never during
the year of her residence among us
was her place in church, Sabbath
school or prayer meetiog, vacant. She
performed every duty faithfully and
cheerfully, and was indeed a -helpmeet
to her devoted husband.
It wasFebruaay again, but what a
change! Our minister had been call
ed to another field; we were grieved,
but kindly wishes and tender feelings
followed husband and wife to their
new home.
Our last meetings for worship were
„„.l 1 i °. . * MIC lllkMCim HI MIC It
sad beyond .expression, especially in colli ham . 8tr addlebu
Sunday school, and when the last Sab
bath morning before his departure, he
gave out those beautiful words. Nearer
wj Clod to Thee, the weignt of the Cross
was felt by many who joined in the
singing.
And now we hear of them in Mil
ledgeville; they are happily situated,
loving and loved by their new friends,
—all is well with them. The church
prospers. The Lord is leading the
pastor and blesses his work.
It is Sunday morning in June, bright
and glorious—our little school iu Al
bany is assembled, the new minister,
a stranger from a distant State, has
commenced the exercises, when it is
whispered that “Mrs. “GfErcrnus is
dead!”
So young, so lovely, so beloved,
instinct with life, health, happiness
and hope, but a Sabbath before—to
day in the lullness of the glory of the
presence of God. Death was to her a
swift messenger—but she was ready
to answer tbe summons. In her brief
illness while unconscious of the pres
ence of friends, or the intensity of pain,
above the murmured words of watch
ing friends, above the wail of the new
born babe—theson so soon to be moth
erless—rose a voice inexpressibly sweet
and clear. Music in the death cham
ber. But the air of Bethany rises soft
and full in the hour of darkness and
sorrow to the friends around; the child
of grace approaches nearer to light
and to God.

Though like a wunderer,
Daylight allgone,
Daikners be over me,

Yet in my dreams, I'd be

Bright with thy praise,
Out of my slony griels

So by my woes to be

Still all my song shall be

Nearer to God! where was the sting
of death? How like the childlike, ten

Then what abiding Faith was ex

Wliile I draw this fleeting breath,
tViien my heartstrings break iu death,
When I soar to worlds unknown.
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myselt iu Thee.
So triumphing in the faith which

nearer to God. clinging to Christ, the
Rock of Ages, entered into the glorv

When the shower slackens you go

Twenty summers have elapsed since it was briefly
announced that a new vegetable tonic and alterative,
bearing the uame of Hoste'.ter'g Stomach Bitters, had
been added to the list of preventive and restorative
medicines. The modest advertisement which invited
attention to ttie preparation stated that it had been
need with great success in private practice 4s a cure
fordjBtiepxia, billions complaints, constipation and
intermittent fever. It was soon discovered that the
articles possessed extraordinary properties. The peo;
pie ot every class, tested its merits as a tonic, slirmi'
! nit, corrective and restorative, and found that its
effects inute than fulfilled tlreir hopes and expecta
tions. From (iiuttiuieto the present its course lias
been upward and onward, audit stands to-day at the
head oi all medicines of its class, American or ini
ported, in the magnitude of its sales and its reputation
as a sate, agreeable and potent lcvigorant aud restora
tive. For languor and debility, lack of appetite and
gastric disturbances so common during the summer
mouths It is absolutely infallible. Indigestion,-bilious
disorders, constipation, nervousness, periodical fe
vers, aud all the ordinary complaints generated by a
vitiated ana humid atmosphere, vanish under its reno
vating and regulatiug influence. This is its record,
avouched by volumes of the intelligent testimony, ex-
tending over a period cf a fifth of a century, and com
prehending the names of thousands of well kuown cit
izens belonging to every class and calliug. Iu Europe
it is thought a great thing to obtain the patronage of

lias been before the public over'thirty Teirs,
and probably bas a wider and better reputation than
any other proprietary medicine of the present ibiy. At
this peiiod there are but few unacquainted with the
merits of the PA1N-KILLE'": tint while some extol
it as a liuiment. they know but little of its power in
easing pain when taken internally; whileiitheis use it
internally with great sdecess. but are equally Hhn nu.t
of its healing virtues when applied externally.-We
therefore wish to.‘ay to all, that it is equally successful,
whether used internally or externally. Jt is sufficient
evidence of its virtues ns a standard medicine to know
that it is now used in all parte < f the world, aud that
its sale is constantly increasing. No'curative agent
has had such a wide spread sale or given such univer
sal satisfaction.
Dnria’Pain Killer is a purely vegetable com
pound, prepared fioin the best aud purest materials,
and with a care that insures the most perfect uniform
ity iu the medicine; *ud while it is a most effective
remedy tor pain, it is a perfectly safe mqdicine, jeven
in the most unskillful hands.
It is eminently a Family Medicine; and by beibg
kept ready for immediate resort, will save many an
hour of suffering, and many u dollar in lime' aud doc
tor’s bills.'
After over thirty years trial, it is still receiving the
most unqualified testimonials to its virtues, from per
sons of tne hiuhest cbarqpter and responsibility. Emi
nent Physicians commend it aj< Jt most effectual pro,
paration lor the extinction of pain. It is not only the
best remedy over kuown for Ururics, Cuts, Burns, <Si.c ,
but for Dysentery, or Cholera, or any .sort of bowel
complaint, it is a remedy unsurpassed for efficiency,
aud rapidity of action.' In the great cities of India, and
other hot climates, it lias become I lie standard medi
cine for all such complaints, as well as for Dyspepsia.
Liver Co nplaints. and all otherkiudred disorders. For
Coughs aud Colds, Canker, Asthma and Rheumatic
difficulties, it has beeu proved by the most abundant
and couviuciug testiifiouy to be an invahiable medi
cine.
We would caution the public againt all imitations of
oarprsparatioo, either ic name, or *tyle of putting up.
