The book was received for the lodge by Rev. R. H. Harris in a short speech that was greatly enjoyed by all present. The Board of Control. The committee appointed by the board of con trol of the Columbus fire department to define the powers of the board held a meeting last night. They simply drafted some work which will have to be put in shape by the cilv attorney and sub mitted to council. The idea prevails that the powers of the board are too limited in some mat ters connected with the department, and the ob ject of the committee is to have them enlarged. I*>st lllsSacliel. Last night while Mr. W. L. Slaughter, a com mercial traveler from Virginia, was on route from the Runkiu house to the depot to take the Macon train he lost his sachel from the hack.

Its contents are of a character that make them more valuable to Mr. Slaughter than to any one else, and he re mained over last night for the purpose of making further effoits to recover it. He offers a liberal reward in the Enquiuer-Sun this morning for the delivery of the sachel to the Rankin house. LOCAL LACONICS. —And still the rain docs not come.

My hull shows a dis position to. associate itself with worms and mv spars and rigging are symbolic relics of an Indian typhoon. ‘Piratioally speaking.’ I am not worth powder to blow me to—the next degree of latitude. The cow-pea being immortal and never Billing os the rainbow, I am not short of provisions, but the sum total of a sailor’s happiness is wanting. I have searched every locker in the ship for a chew of tobacco and found it wanting. Drifting as I am on an unknown sea, denied like the Flying Dutchman to make a port, I take the liberty to ask you, in the mime of Neptune and the gods generally, to kindly heed the appeal of an ancient manner for a little tobacco. ’Tis hard to get down to the Italian business, but I am in a literal h—1 with out tobacco. Trusting you will consider my con dition, I remain, Very respectfully, “J. W. Livingston.” HARRIS SUPERIOR COURT. The Dixon-CliristiHii Case Taken Up and the Trial Begun.

Christian, of,Meriwether county, while the for mer was depot agent at Chipley. A special from Hamilton to the Enquirer-Sun last night says: “Court convened this morning with Judge Boynton presiding. The case of the State-vs. S. M. Dixon, charged with muidcr, was called. After a little sparring between opposing counsel both sides announced ready. The greatest interest was immediately manifested by the crowds gathering around the bar. The morn ing was consumed in getting up a jury. The panel of forty-eight was exhausted by excusing thirteen jurors for cause. In the afternoon Major I'ark, of Greenville, presented the case of the state, owing to the illness of the solicitor Two witnesses for the state were examined— Vardeman and Mason—after which court took a recess until 8 o’clock to-morrow. A brilliant ar ray of counsel appears for both sides, and every point will be closely contested. No expert can now foretell the result of the ease.” TMESTATE FAIR.
