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 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. FOR RENT.

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 tiful bouquets ever seen in this city, from the kind hands of a lady of a neighboring county. A young lady warbles, “Love is enough.” When she gets a husband 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 yourself about four or five o’clock these mornings, you might discover in the heavens, south of east, the new comet now perambulating in that quarter. Gentle reader, you should 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. Our “Tip Top” SATINETTE SUIT, the poor man’s friend, at §5.00, will satisfy any one. J. WAXELBAUM & GO. Death of Mr. Gatewood. 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.

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.
