The hogs and dogs have been sup
pressed and do not dare to show their
heads on our streets. The English
sparrows alone defy the authority of

best way to suppress these noisy little

comfortable, and was handsomely dec

appreciative audience greeted this, the
first public entertainment of the socie

Almost a Fire.—When Cajit. W.
E. Haygood opened his store yester
day morning he found that five or six
boxes of cigars that he left, Saturday
night, piled upon the mantlepiecc
in his back room, had been consumed
by fire. The wall was blackened by
smoke, and the ashes of the cigars
were piled upon the niantlepiece,
which was somewhat charred by the
flames. A lamp and box of matches
were also left on the mantle, and es
caped the flames. The lire was evi
dently the result of accident, in which
probably rats played a leading part.
The escape from a destructive lire,
that would always have been a mys
tery, was most fortunate.
Death of Rev. William Davies.
Old Milledgeville is wont to commit
to the beautiful, “God's acre,” lhat
overhangs the valley of Fishing creek,
the remains of her children, whether
they die at home or abroad. The
tramp of the funeral procession reach
es our well-kept cemetery almost as
often from the railway stations, as
from oup homes and churches. Under
the call of duty, the energies of the
old borough have radiated, in distin
guished usefulness, to every quarter.
But when life's work is done and plan
and purpose cease, memory reverts
and muffled hearts return. Not al
ways so, however.
William Davies, son of Rev. John
and Sarah (Orme) Davies, was born
at Savannah, Ga., the 25th April,
1824. In boyhood, he came to Mil
ledgeville, and entered the “Southern
Recorder,” as printer. A few years
later his family followed him, of
whom Mrs. R. W. Bigham, alone, re
mains among us. Fields of usefulness
were found of each, 'till called to rest.
In 1840, young Davies enlisted, under
Capt. Holmes, in the Mexican war,
through which he served. Constitu
tionally kind to all but himself, he was
almost proverbially wild, until .arrest
ed by the Spirit of God. Zealous in
liis new life, as he had been in the old,
he answered to the Heavenly call, en
tered the ministry, took appointment
in the Georgia Conference and soon
transferred, in 1859, to the Florida Con
ference, where he labored with unsel
fish fidelity, ’till his death at Oclilaw-
aha, Florida, the 22nd April, 1885.
Conversion, ordination, arrest by the
Federals, at Key West, in 1861, and
death are of the few salient facts in
his life, as seen by the public. The
cares, the privations, the toils, the
pains, the joys of ministerial life on
the frontier, his habitual experiences,
are fully known to his Master only.
Humility, fidelity, constancy were his
companions, and he died, as lie lived,
at his post, in great peace. C.
