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!

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.

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 teristic of my nature to give vent to feelings of appreciation or approval of lie modus operandl as exhibited by any people in the enjoyment of an anniversary or other public deuionstra* through the columns of a news paper. No 1 have no newspaperia! aspirations whatever, therefore pardon 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.

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.

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.
