An Interesting Occasion.
The exercises of Thursday evening
at the Methodist church, in behalf of
the womans missionary society, was
very interesting, entertaining, and
instructive. The readings by the
young ladies were very creditable,
and the address by Rev. J. O. A.
Cook, was clear and conclusive on
the subject in hand, and was a meri
ted compliment to the organization,
as well as to the speaker. It was in
deed a master effort, and enjoy.ed by
a large audience. The womans work
for .woman, is certainly a glorious
work, and should be crowned with
success,

A Mistake.
The following is stated to be the
average cost per pupil of tuition in
cities of the State having public
schools supported by city taxation:
Savannah, $11.80; Atlanta, §10.83;
Americus, §2B; West Point, §8.63;
Macon, $7.60
The above paragraph is going the
round of the Georgia press. The av
erage cost per pupil in the public
schools of Americus is §8.28, including
real estate the property of the board,
which places the tuition below that
of other places. Macon’s tuition is
§7.50 but that city’s school term lasts
eight months while the school term
in this city is nine months. The
average cost per pupil in the public
school of this city is the lowest to be
found any where else and proves the
success of the public school system in
our midst.

SMALL FOX,
A False Alarm—A Malicious Slander.
On Thursday last, a malicious report
having been circulated on our streets
that a case of small pox existed in
the city, the Mayor requested a board
of city physicians to examine into
the falsity or truth ofthe report. The
case from which the report took rise,
was that of a negro woman, who for
six weeks past, has been sick with
white swelling, breaking out on the
body with eruptions, probably by
that disease. This negro woman for
weeks has been visited by numbors
of her friends, and before her sick
ness, had not for months been out oi
the city. The falsity of the report is
so patent that it don’t call for a mo
ment’s consideration. We publish
below the statement of the board ol
physicians.
Americus, Ga., Sept. 29, ’B2.
To his Honor, J. Ji. Felder , Mayor-.
The undersigned physicians having
visited, and carefully examined the
case that gave rise to the report oi
small pox, hereby declare that in
their opinion it is not one of small
pox, and that no fear need be enter
tained by those who desire to visit
and transact business in the city.

The bride of last Wednesday was
the recipient of one of the most beau

from the kind hands of a lady of a
neighboring county.
A young lady warbles, “Love is

she will find that love won’t be enough
for him. He will want a well cooked
meal about three times a day.

Gentle reader, if you would bestir

see it.
Goody-goodness; “Mamma, there’s
a mosquitoon the back of papa’s neck,
shall I hit it?” “No,” said the moth
er, considerately, “your father might
not approve of it. He’s a member of
the .Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals.”
“Did you see the moon over your
right shoulder, my dear?” said she to
him as they roamed down the walk.
“N-n-no, not exactly; but I just saw
the old man over my left shoulder
and I’ll bid you good night.” No
kisses served up with that parting.

Here is a remedy, it is claimed, will
knock the spots out of chills and fever
and build up an appetite that will
make a man eat a keg of nails: One
half ounce of Peruvian bark, one-half
ounce of rhubarb, and one pint of pure
Holland gin. Mix and take one half
a wine-glass full one hour before each
meal, and keep up the dose for two
days.
We appeal to our city authorities, in
behalf of the ladies and other citizens,
to abate the nuisance of idle crowds
which throng our sidewalks on Satur
days and other public occasions. It is
with great difficulty that even gentle
men can pass these gossiping groups;
and as for the ladies, we feel sorry for
those who are compelled to be out on
such occasions.
“See hea, ole woman, dis lieah wa
ter’s done got flipskippers in’t,” said
Uncle Mose, as the old lady passed
him a blue decorated mug with the
handle broken off. “Urn, s’pose dey
is; dey won’t hurt you’ carcass much,
nohow.” Go ’long chile! Dey’salibe,
dey is; w’at yo’ talkin’?” “You doan
reckon dey’ll be alibe w’en yo’ done
swallered ’em,do you? Drink it down,
niggah, drink it down. Yo’s getting
pow’ful techy.”
It will be of interest to many of our
readers to know that the comet of
which so much has been said can be
seen by early risers. The star or point
of the comet is very brilliant, and is
to be seen very near the horizon, and
almost exactly in the east, while the
immense tail stretches away up to the
southward. It can be seen at its best
just about five o’clock, and will well
repay even those who love their morn
ing nap in getting up to see. We got
our first view of the comet on Thurs
day morning last. It is the most
brilliant one we ever observed.

Mr. J. M. Gatewood, whose illness
has been frequently alluded to in
these columns, quietly breathed his
last at the residence of Mr. Ed. Rich
ardson on yesterday, early in the
forenoon. His death is deeply regret
ted by a large number of friends, for
lie was regarded as one of nature’s
noblemen, straightforward and unim
peachable in his intercourse with his
fellow-man. His death is a loss to
the circle of planters in this county,
for he was one of the beßt. He leaves
a wife ami four daughters. The re
mains will be interred at Newton
to-day. —Albany Netes.

WELCOME ADDRESS READ BY MRS.
LEONORA L. SULLIVAN.
Mrs. President, officers ofthe Confer
ence Society, Delegates and Visitors.
It would be sheer folly in me to at
tempt to conceal the truth, (were I so
disposed) that this honor which has
been assigned me by my Society, is
esteemed by me the most distinguish
ed, as well as the most delightful that
i have ever rendered, associated as it
is, so closely with labor for the Mas
ter’s glory. We come this afternoon,
dear sisters, to bid you welcome to
our hearts, our homes, and our Chris
tian hospitalities. Many of us have
never looked upon each others faces
before, yet we meet not as strangers,
for through the kindly medium ofthe
pen we have become acquainted each
with the other,and oftimes have been
inspired and encouraged by the pray
ers which have ascended• from hearts
united by similar ties, as laborers in
Christ’s vineyard, coming as you do
in the interests of a grand and glori
ous work, a work which should arouse
every woman in whose heart pulsates
the love for perishing humanity, as
she recognizes the Divine command;
“these are my famishing ones, give
ye them to eat,” we esteem it a priv
ilege indeed to entertain you. Neces
sarily there must have been sacrifices
of home duties which in your absence
possibly might not be performed as
successfully as you desired, yet be not
troubled, for there is an eye that
never slumbers or sleeps, that will
keep watchful vigilance while you are
about your Master’s work. I trust
that our coming together in this re
lation may prove a pentecostal pre
paration for each one of us, causing
us to search well our hearts, realizing
fully the responsibilities that rest
upon us, and performing faithfully
our duties, all to the honor and glory
of Him who when he shall “come to
make up His jewels,” shall say to
each and every one, “ye are mine,
come up higher.” As one of your
number, I think I can re-echo the sen
timent of all who have enlisted in this
cause, by proclaiming, all honor to the
Woman’s Missionary work. Though
we have been grievously misunder
stood, though we have felt the blush
of mortification tinge our cheek as we
have been assailed as womens rights
women,” yet to-day we stand boldly
forward, shoulder to shoulder, and
rejoice to be recognized as standard
bearers in the grand army of missions
and bow reverently oiir heads in
memory of that consecrated Christ
on women who thirty years ago, first
proclaimed over our beloved South
land, that the foundation stone was
laid for “woman’s work for woman.”
Has aught been accomplished for good
from the operations of these mission
ary Societies? The answer comes
back from China, Mexico, and Brazil
that through the desert wastes of
heathendom, flows a river of life from
whose healing waters, many have
drank, and thirsted no more, and
many are coming still, and those that
once sat in the regions of darkness,
now bask in the sunlight of that peace
of God which passes all understand
ing. This plan to rescue from bond
age and idolatry oursisters in heathen
lands, is a Heaven favored one. The
commission given women at the grave
of her ascended Lord was license suf
ficient, and those memorable words
should ever bo to us, as the sweetest
cadences in the symphony of time,
and though revilings and persecutions
may threaten to discourage, let us
possess ourselves with patience, and
seek by strengthening the weak and
comforting the weary to hang living
pictures of faith and prayer in the
silent galeries of many sunless lives
whose paths have wound ’mid shad
ows dark up to the golden heights of
religions unfading light. We are not
seeking for reward here, save in the
smile of acceptance from our loving
Father, but on! my friends, when our
labors are ail done, and life’s dream
is over, 1 trust we all shall have an
abundant entrance into the city by 1
the jasper sea, with its streets of shin
ing gold, and its gates of pearl.
llow sweet ’twill be at evening,
If yon and I can say,
Good Shepherd, we’ve been seeking,
The lambs that went astray.
Heart care and faint with hunger
Wo heard them making moan,
And lo! we come at nightfall
Bearing them safely home.
And now once again dear friends, I
bid you welcome, thrice welcome to
our midst, and in this welcome is em
bodied all the earnestness sincerity,
and affection thatcharacterizes,South
ern Methodist women.
Miss K. V. Cater, of Perry, re
sponded in the following beautiful
address:
Dear Sisters and Ladies of Americus:
In behalf of the Auxiliaries of the
South Georgia Conference Society, I
thank you for the warm and cordial
welcome you have given us; for the
words of greeting to which we have
just listened. We meet as a band of
sisters, each one feeling that the cause
for which we are working, “Woman’s
work for Woman,” is one that should
warm the heart and quicken the
pulse of every Christian woman.
When I say Christian woman, I mean
all who live in a Christian land; a
land with an open Bible; a land where
the pure Gospel is preached. Much
more should it stir the heartsof those
who profess to be followers of the
meek and lowly Jesus, who went
about doing good, and said to His dis
ciples “Go ye into all the world and
preach the Gospel to every creature.”
It is not our province, my dear sis
ters, to go and preach the Gospel
hut there are other ways of reaching
the hearts of the poor heathen women.
There are ways to be readied only by
Christian women! We can send out
Bible readers and teachers who can
gain access to the homes of these de
graded women, and open their eyes to
the light and love of Jesus.
Is it not our duty, beloved sisters,
while we are enjoying your hospitali
ty in your beautiful city, your ele
gant homes, to think of those poor
deluded creatures sitting in the dark
ness of superstition, shut up in their
homes, (or rather houses, for they
have no homes), without the light of
the Gospel! Should we not ho willing
to sacrifice something to send the Gos
pel to them thatthoy may know Christ
who gave himself for us,
Shall we whose souls are lighted,
With wisdom from on high;
Shall we to souls benighted,
The lamp of God deny?
No, let us double our efforts and not
only help those noble women who
have left all and gone into heathen
lands hut send others, and by our
personal sacrifices, little acts oi' self
denial, show our love to God and ac
complish much good.
Again we thank you for your gen
erous hospitality. We hope our meet
ing together may prove a blessing to
all who may participate in this pleas
ant re-union, and that a great harvest
may bo gathered in mission fields, of
seed sown at this annual meeting of
the Womans’ Missionary Society of
the South Georgia Conference.
