Butler Sunday School Pie Me*
The annual pic nic of the Butler
Sabbath schools took place at. Heard’s
grove in Butler on la*t Saturday, with
sacces. A beautiful banner bad been
prepared by Rev. J. -W. Burke of Ma- j their duty as suck! Mr. Edit
con, and was presented to a class of «
young ladies, of which Mr. W. H.
Carithera, il teac her. Too much praise
cannot be giveu the worthy Superin
tendent of the Methodist Sabbath
school. Rev. W. L. Griffith, in bis
endeavors to carry out the plans, and
make the occasion a grand success. The
Superintendent and the teachers of tlift
Baptist school also acted Well their
part, and the occasiou was made pleas
ant to all. Wo were pleased to see
also a good representation from the
Howard and Reynolds schools.
Mr* Editor.: Our second Quar
ter! p meeting passed oil’quiet pleas
antly* The Presblfng Elder, bretlu r
Wynn was there, aud, though com
plaining a littll of the ill effects of the
east wind thutHvas blowing, seeiucd
lo be himself in the pulpit a* well as
ill "the chair.” He preached us three
sermons—each Unking Into the one
next proceeding, and, taken together,
It seemed to me the completest set ot
sermons 1 ever heard. 1 am sure 1
never heard a set of sermons that im
pressed me with more sense fitness
Mka» to style, time and place* An
outsider saidt <‘If we had that sort
of proachlng all through the country,
it would do a great deal of good.’’
What a pity men will even approve
and commend sermons and then fail
to make a personal application of
thjm t So much for the preaching
services. The business meeting -
the Quarterly Conference was thinly
attended* By the way, how is it
that a man who is up to time and at
the place for woMpcsbusiness is so
often missing at the time and from the
place where hia church business de
mands his presence! How I wish all
concerned could have heard the Sat
urday sermon of the P. E. But Oh!
how often is it the case that the faith
ful minister has prayed and studied
to have *’a word in season” for the in
dividuals of his charge. only to be
disappointed aud discouraged by find
ing that the very ones he has prepared
food for are not there to be fed with
“the bread of life.” How much mem
bers loose and how oflon they are
dwarfed, if they do not perish, by
failing to be present at preaching
where the appointed one is prepared
“to feed them with the sincere milk
of the word that they may grow there
by,”
Well, wbat ot thu Conference? The set sion
was pleasant and barmouions. The various
lu-ms were taken up and disposed of in or
der. The financial question was disposed of
quickly, as but few stewards wore present
uud they counted out what they had in n
rare tew minutes. How completely at the
mercy of a few men—stewards—is a Metho
dist preacher? How inevitable his financial
.mbairaasment, unless the stewards discharge

say, his former relationship the

Mrs. Kate Southern•
On last Wednesday Mrs. Kate South
ern, the murderess of Mrs. Cowart, of
Pickens Jounty, having been confined
in Washington county, was brought
to Reynolds in this county, where she
will remain at the camp of Col. C. B,
Howard. She will doubtless he kept
in his family to do the sewing for the
retnaing convicts.
Fourth of July.
We heard several prominent citizens
last Saturday suggest the proposition
of having a general barbecue here on
the fourth of Julv. Gentlemen, put
the hall in motion and issue a call
through the next Herald for that
purpose. ’Ti8 a good idea to bring all
our county together on such an occa
sion. Let us hear from you.
Escape of Convicts.
During the past week seven con
victs from the camp of Col. C.B. How
ard, near Reynolds, in this county,have
made their escape. Among them was
one white man by the name of Collins,
who had been sentenced at the last
term of the Superior Court of Musogee
county, for a number of years for com
mitting rape upon a white woman.
Diligent search has been made through
out the county but no arrest has been
made. This is truly a severe loss to
Col. Howard as well as the State of
Georgia, as we are informed parties
who have convicts employed are re
quired by law to |>ay the sum of $200
for the escape of each prisoner, unless
sufficient proof can be proved that
their escape wus unavoidable.
We are informed that two of the
negroes who escaped in passing through
the county caiue to the home of Mr.
J. T. Mouk, and begged from oome of
the family a few mouthfuls of bread,
and afterwards stole two pairs of pants
a*<l a lwny oilier articles,
Thus ended a pleosaut session.
Tours truly,
R. L. Wiooise.
Captured.
A day or two since a gentleman
from Talbot county was robbed
some forty or fifty dollars. At the
same time a white man in bis em
ploy was found roissiug, and inves
tigation proved that the emplyee,
a resident of this town, was most
probably the thief. The gentle
man followed the party here. He
ascertained at Geneva that the
man had changed two five dollar
bills there and then had come to
Columbus.
Last night, about eight o’clock,
the gentleman from Talbot recog-
uized the man on Broad street and
nad him arrested forthwith. He is
now in custody, awaiting an ex
amination.—Enquirer-Sun.

J^mCHerald : ’Tin not a charac

my crude and unsophisticated attempt
in expressing candid uud unbiaaed
convictions as to the unquestioned suc
cess of the Subbath school, or I should
have said school’s celebration of your
town on the 24th inst.
In company with my friend Mr. M
we wended our way toward the sand
beds of B., arriving on the plains of
aotion at 9:15 a. m. Later we could
be found comfortably and of conrsc
pleasantly ercouced under the roof of
that haudsome edifice the M.E.Church,
completely overwhelmed in the general
proceedings of the day’s programme,
. We were just in time to witness the
presentation of a lovely Sunday school
banner, which was very impressive; th
remarks being pointed and indeed ap 1
plicable, reflecting honor to Supt. W.
L. G. The response wus simply ex
cellent and reflected considerable cred
it to both the responses and school.
That lovely tribute, Nature’s flowers,
presented to Mr B. 8. Battle, by his
class was encouraging, and was indic
ative of earnest appreciation.
The procession like all Others I’ve
been fortunate to witness, was if im
pressive at all, was as much so as any
of like nature.
Here from wilful neglect,- I tried
plodding sand alone awhile, aud con
sequently losf nearly or quite all of
Dr. S’s., lecture. Be it understood
thouuh, 1 did not lose my diuner nor
mystw any more during the day, or
at, leust until I was forced to yield to
the iuevertablo—the far too early
whistle of tiie train, aud leave the
scene where sweet voices my “soul
did pierce through.” Iu opportune
moment as you could percieve judg
iug how reluctantly I removed.
Unhesitatingly do I admit tin
success of the efforts on the part of
all so far us I could ascertain. E
will I “bless the the day that I went
my way” to so pleasantly participate
in anl partake so freely of the hospi
tality of Butler’s citizens.
Now please allow me to digress
somewhat. Perhaps the more favor
able impressions made (aud no doubt
you'll agree with me if you have not
already suspected) were from motive
of sinister character, or at least l Am
vain enough to hope so, for like all
other wretched creatures breathing
existance of single blessedness, desire
to trifle my expenses and double my
joys. Being an object at air^castle
building, imagine my chagrin, after
flattering hopes induced
to believe I have overcome such a
vanity to awake to the concious-
nest after meeting Misses - —
well guess who? I have consum
ed more combustible material ic
48 hoars than is possible to con
ceive of. Unfortunately day after
day convinces me, that an odd spe
cie of the “genus homo” am 1, for
a more reflective view, makes me
to appear in my own estimation
as wanting in more particulars
than one, for in all candor, is it
not the hoight of folly to even hope
to possess that foi which (after a
young man meets one fascinating:
and as he imagines a congenia
specimen of the fair sex) desire,
and then to be informed without
any preparation whatev er, tbs
eke is mortgaged.

planted on good ground and fer

better than I have seen since the
war. 1 am satisfied that Mr. Wm.
Waters will make 90 bushels per
acre. There ‘will be plenty made
to finish up the crop, independent
to corn and other stock teed. Will
put the oat crop at 105. Chnfaa,
ground peus and potatoes, are no
small items with thf larmers this
year. Plenty of home-raised hams
will he served by our people soon,
and the Western bacon market
will have to effect sales with other
people than the G. V's. Cotton-
