A good congregation assembled at the Broail
Street Methodist church last night to hear the
report of the committees appointed to raise
money to finish paying the debt on the church.
The reports showed the cash raised since last
meeting to be $155.51. The amount raised in
good subscription was $187.50. There yet re
mains a small balance of about $135, which the
pastor and others think can, by good efforts, be
raised within the next thirty (lays. Many of the
members of the church arc making heavy per
sonal sacrifices to accomplish the laudable pur
pose of bringing the church < ut of debt.
A little help from any citizen will be most Wor

Death of Col. P. A. (’hi) Ion.
Col. P. A. Claytcn died at the home of Iris,
daughter, in this city, yesterday about 1 o’clock,
ttiler an illness of eight days of pneumonia.
This simple announcement will carry a pang of
sorrow to the hearts of many readers of the
Enquirer-Sun. Col. Clayton was one of the very
first settlers cf Columbus. He was born in Louis
ville, (la., on the 12th of October, 18C4, anil came
to this city when it was still an nnhewed forest,
and the red man bathed his heated brow in the
rippling waters of the Chattahoochee. He knew
Columbus from her infancy to the meridian of
an active and progri ssive life. No man has lived
here whose history has been more closely identi
fied with that of the city. He was
elected a lieutenant of the Columbus
Guards when the company was first
organized in 1836, and aided in driving the hos
tile Indians from our doors. In all the relations
of life Colonel Clayton has been a true and gen
erous man. He had few, if any, enemies, aud
lived the life of an upright Christian. In death
he had the “rod and the staff” to comfort him.
For many years before his death he had been en
gaged In the cotton business, and was well
known throughout this section. He had a host
ot friends who will regret to learn of his death
He leaves only two children—Mrs. M. C. Lary
and Mrs. H. G. Bead, who, in their sad* bereav -
nient, have the sincere sympathy of this entire
community.
The funeral of Colonel Clayton will take place
at 3:30 o'clock from St. Luke church, ol which he
was a member.

The Feast of the Eighth Day Assembly as
ordained in scriptures, Lev. 23:36 nnd Numb.
29:35, is the concluding festival of the Feast of
Booths, and will bo celebrated by the Israelites
tq-morrow, beginning with this evening.
The Feast of Booths being one of tho three
chief festivals whereon Israel was eujoined to
assemble at the holy city and the pilgrims from
all over Judne aud Galilee made this the most
impressive of the three, owing, doubtless, to the
season it fell on, the harvest afforded them
means to visit the city of David and spend lib
erally for sacred purposes and holy glee. Tho
Feast of Booths made Jerusalem the seat of mer
riment and jubilee, but the Eighth Day Feast
was the most noted, being the last day. With a
dreary winter before them the Israelites availed
themselves of the opportunity the Jewish capital
offered them and indulged in merrimaking ere
they departed not to return for over five mouths
—i. e., till the Feast of Passover.
This was the day that Solomon chose to dedi
cate his gorgeous temple (see I. King, 8:66),
which became the architectural momment of the
whole world, nnd this was the day whereon
Ezra dedicated the second temple when the
Israelites returned from the Babelonian captivity
(see Nehem, 8-18), and this day, although not
commemorative of any event besides its import
ance as a thauksgivii g day, is still perpetuated
ns ordained in scriptures by the Israelites, and
services in the synagogue \vi l be held to-night at
7 c\ lock. Tho Rabbi L. Weiss will deliver a dis
course suitable to the occasion, aud to-morrow
morning at 9:j0 o’clock. All are welcome.
