Death of Mrs. W. I. Hudson.
The Enquirer-Sun received a telegram Inst
night announcing the death of Mrs. Hudson, wife
of Judge W. I. Hudson, of Hamilton. She had
been ill many weeks and her death was not un
expected. Its announcement, however, will carry
sorrow to mauy hearts. No purer or nobler
woman ever lived, and her life was one of devo
tion to the cause of Christianity, to her family
and to her friends. Her deeds of love and charily
were many, and all who came under the influ
ence of her lovable character were benefited.
The bereaved husband will have the sympathy
of a host of friends throughout the state in this'
hour of deep aflliction.
A NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT.
Washington City to llare a Magnificent Display
of L’ltlxen Soldiery—Let the Columbaa Guard*
Attend.
The citizens of Washington, D. C., have sub
scribed a guarantee ftind of $50,000 to ensuro
prompt payment of prizes and expenditures at
a national drill and encampment which will take-
place in May next.
Entries will be open to regular volunteer
militia of the United States, for competition as
regiments, battalions or companies, in infantry,
artillery, cavalry, etc. Grand preparations arc
being made to make the drill and encampment
the most extensive ever held In this country. It
is probable that every state in the union will bo
represented by one or more companies. There will
be regimental, battalion, company, zouave, target
practice and individual prizes ranging from |50
to f5000. It is well known that the south lias the
best drilled companies in the country, and we
venture to say that this section will capture the
biggest money.
If thirty-three reliable men can be enlisted by
January 15tli, who will agree to drill two nights a
week in January, three nights a week in Febru
ary. four nights a week in March, April and May.
the Columbus Guards can attend the drill with
every prospect of taking a stand of which the
friends ol the company and the citizens of Co
lumbus may well be proud.
To the Citizen* of Columhus.
I find an impression existing, I know not to
what extent, that Rev. J. U. Campbell, D. D„
holds liis appointment as city missionary fYom
the First Baptist church of this city, and under
that erroneous impression some claim that it is
the duty of that church alone to support him and
blame the church for not doing so. Dr. Campbell
is not the appointee of the First Baptist church,
nor of the Columbus association. He is a public
almoner for the city of Columbus, and liis office
is absolutely non-sectarian. It is true that the
First Baptist church has been, and is, contribu
ting ns an organization toward his support; it is
true, I think, that tie First Baptist church is the
only organization in the city that docs contri
bute a “fixed and definite” amount as such for
this purpose; it is true that the ladies of the First
Baptist church frequently assist Dr.
C. in distributing alms; and it is true
that D. N. J. Bussey, a prominent member
of the First Baptist church, has, heretofore, kind
ly canvassed the city once a year in his behalf
but all tliis does not constitute him an appointee
of tlmt church.
Dr. Campbell is a public benefnctoi, and, as
such, he is entitled to public support. The gen
erous business men of Columbus have never yet
been appealed to in vain in this behalf.
Now that the facts in the case are distinctly
published, it is hoped that the liberal people of
our liberal city will be more liberul than ever be
fore. The opportunity will be Afforded them dur
ing this week. The former canvasser is, physical
ly, unable to make liis usual round this winter,
but 1 propose, I). V., to act as his unworthy sub
stitute, and thus, gladly, to “wash the feet’’of
one of the Lord’s ministers. Roar. II. Harris,
Pastor First Baptist Church.

Fact* from For(sou.
Fortson, December 27.—There was a Christmas
tree celebration at Shiloh church on Friday even
ing, and one at Mount Zion on Saturday evening.
The tree at Mount Zion is said to have contained
over $50 worth of presents. This tree caught on
fire during the euterta'inuent, and but for the
presence of mind and prompt action of oue of the
ladies there would doubtless have been a serious
panic. The men looked and listened at the p p-
ping of the fire-crackers in astonishment, but this
heroine began at once to fight the fire, and soon
had it extinguished.
Here is a little incident connected with this tree
which illustrates the evil and mischievous pro
pensities of boyish nature: After the Mount Zion
boys had hunted the woods over in search of a
tree to their fancy, and at last decided upon a
particular one, they told some of the Shiloh boys
where that beautiful tree could be found. And

The First Baptist Church.
Rev. Thomas Dickson, pastor of the Baptist
church at Goldsboro, N. C., preached two ser
mons at the First Baptist church in this city on
Sunday last. The first was a Christmas sermon
preached at 11 o’clock, and the subject was han
dled in a way as impressive as it was possible to
be. The minister captured the attention of the
large congregation as soon as he beg in his dis
course uiui held them almost speil-bound to the
conclusion. “And the common people heaul
Him gladly” was his text. Ii does not seem pos
sible that it could be treated in a more impas
sive, persuasive and able maun-M*. His illustra
tions were so apt that t lu y appeared made for the
occasion. His sermon at night was equally as
interesting, though taking the difficult task of
presenting the uegative side of a positive subject.
Mr. Dickson has won many warm friends dur
ing his visit to the city. Though only twenty-
two years of age; and th >ugh he has been preach
ing only a few months, he has already attained a
prominence that years of hard study ami experi
ence do not often attain. He certainly has a life
of much usefulness ahead of him, aud his many
frieuds here trust that it may bo realized in the
very fullest measure.
A Christina* Dinner.
On Sunday Mr. John Sclierf gave his patrons
and many of his friends a Christmas dinner at
attest. This was foreshadowed by the menu
published in the Enquirer-Sun on Saturday, yet
but few even among those who recognize in Mr.
Scherfono of the most successful caterers In the
land, had an idea that such an elegant dinner
would be served.
One thing that added to the pleasure of the
occasion and most thoroughly evinced that Mr.
Bcherf Ailly understands how to keep a hotel,
was the prompt and accurate movements of the
servants. They are trulncd like clock work, and
at this dinner each one vied to see which could
be the most attentive.
The Christmas dinner was a grand success and
a Ids one more to the many laurels won by the
genial proprietor.
Rev. W. A. Ilufknhac.
Rev. W. A. Huckabee, who for the past two
years has been pastor of Broad Street church,
leaves for his new charge this morning. He
goe* to Quitman circuit, in Brooks county. He
carries with him the best wishes of the people of
this city for liis fill urc prosperity, happiness and
success in his chosen work. He has endeared
himself to the people here, and especially among
his own church and congregation. Few minis
ters could have been so instrumental in accom
plishing the work that has been done at liis
church. Burdened with a debt that had been
liang'ng over it for years, ho has succeeded in j
paying it to the last dime. The church has had
many accessions, and is now in fini* condition.
Mr. Huckabee requests the Enquirer-Sun to
say that the citizens here have his sincerest
thanks for the kind treatment ho has received,
and he leaves them with regrets that such pleas
ant associations must be severed. He cannot say
good-bye to each one personally, and takes tliis
means of doiug so.

Sunday Morning’s Fire.
The residence of Mr. D. F. Willcox, on Fifth
avenue, was destroyed by tire about 4 o’clock on
Sunday morning. The fire originated in a small
huiMiug on an adjoini-ig lot near his stable. The
stable and carriage were burning when the fam
ily was aroused. It was impossible to approach
the stable to liberate the family horse which was
housed therein, and the animal was burned to
death.
A buggy, carriage, wagon, harness, etc., were
also lost. The flames then spread to the kitchen,
burning the building and its entire contents
The tiro was very hot, and the roof of the family
residence which stood near by was soon burning
rapidly. The arrival of the fire department pre
vented its total destruction. It was a frame
structure and the walls and ground floor, while
considerably damaged are not entirely destroyed.
The entire roof, however, was burned off\
The amount of insurance on the dwelling, out
houses an I furniture was $5100, which is a total
loss except a little salvage of the furniture.
Mr. O. C. Ilarrell, who lives with Mr. Willcox,
lost all of liis furnituro. He was fully insured.
Something tliout Farm L.dior.
Fortson, Ga., December 27.- Our hands are all
demoralized because it is Christmas. They don’t
want to cook or wash or feed the stock or milk
or help nurse the children without a great dcai
of coaxing and double pay in the bargain. It is
a groat mistake for a farmer to hire hands until
Christmas and pay them up in full the day before
Christmas. Let it be understood that they are to
set in from new yearis day until new year’s day,
and receive a settlement in full on the last day
of the old year.
There is a disposition, too, among our farmers
to lie quiet for the first, two or three months of
tne year aud not hire their labor until near the
end of the first quarter of the year. That, too,
tends to demoralize and disorganize labor. Let
the labor of your country know that it can re
ceive due compensation for every day’s work
out of the 335 and it will not flock to the towns
and railroads for employment. The country and
tlie farm has its charms for the darkey »is well as
the white man, and the best labor of th? country
will be satisfied to stick to the farm as long us It
can find lucrative aud steady employment.
