REDD, Jr., Superintendent. HOUSE COLUMBUS, GA. Mrs. F. M. GRAY, Proprietress J. x\. S KtxFTm, Clerk, Crowded Out —Several communi cations are crowded out this week, which will appear in our next issue. Candy Stew at Waverly. —We attended one there last Wednesday night at the residence of Mr. Arthur Farley. Owing to the death of a lit tle child in the neighborhood, some of the young ladies were kept away, but the crowd was sufficiently large to make it an enjoyable occasion, and of this, ye reporter realised a full share. For a pleasant and sociable neighborhood, Waverly Hall stands second to none; and for pretty and accomplished young ladies, and good clever fellows, they can well defy competition. Many thanks for kind ness received there. ■ I^' Found Dead. — A negro man, named Peter, was found dead on the road-side near Johnston’s mill on last Tuesday morning.— He was a negro that came here in 1872 to work on the N. & S. Rail road with Fleming. Some time since ho went to Dr. Bruce for medi cal attention, and proposed to remain and work out his docter’a bill. Dr. B. cured him, he remained a few days, and left the Dr. in the lurch. He re turned a few days ago with like prop osition, and Dr. B. promised him medicine, but sent him to Burrell, an other negro, for quarters. Bnrrell retused to entertain him, and next morning he was found, as above stated, froxen to death. Heed This.—All persons indebted to me for subscription or advertising are requested to settle the same at once. All dues can be left at the Journal office during my absence. D. W. D. Boully. fi®"The Journal is a first clas B advertising medium. Town Notes. Not a party in town this week: al ways a calm after a storm. Gardening has bcJ. in and fresh seed are brought into requisition. Some people are so dull they cant take a hint, but will walk five miles to take an old hen off the roost. We heard that a large crowd of negroes left town last Monday morn ing for the West. Old ye grave yards! Although there was no preaching at the Baptist church on last Sabbath, the exercises were quite interesting. We are more than glad to learn that Miss Ilatchio Cook has about re coved from her recent illness. Wo are glad to see Cooper Mitch ell, who had his leg broken several days ago, able to be on foot again. Ye colored Iriends have had one or two Leap Year parties in town in the last few weeks. They will hold their frolics hereafter in tbo West, The question for debate by the Cic eronian Society next Tuesday night— “ls there a Special Providence?’’ Let’s have a full house this time. There is no use denying the fact; that new house of Mr. Johnson’s, on Broad street, helps the looks of the street muchly. Dr. Gibbs of Social Circle, but formerly of this place, sends us his card. The firm is Gibbs, Akeride & Cos., they are doing a drug business. Wonder if it would,at add to tho morality of our towni. the side-walks were fixed up a little. Christianity stands a poor showing when a fellow stubs his toe in the dark. Tbo debaters decided, last Thurs day night, that Bibles should not be excluded from the schools, and now the little boys can say their prayers as usual. Our devil came near leaving the office last Friday. He thought ho saw an angel coming in, but it prov ed to be one of the prettiest little girls in Georgia. The Valentine drawing by the small fry, which was to have come off last week, didu’t come. It will never do to give it up; so little folks, try your hand again. Our young friend R. P. Farley has returned from Atlanta and will make Hamilton his home for the present. We are glad to see Bob, and extend to him the right baud of fellowship. Rev. Mr, Weekly will preach in the Baptist church, this Wednesday night. He is the Evangelist for the Columbus Association. Let all go out and hear what this good man has to say. Two negroes came before the Or dinary last Saturday, to be discharged under a writ of habeas corpus. Jef Miller was discharged, but Smith Johnson had to go back to the cage or give bond. ITe couldu’t give bond and so in he went. We return thanks to one of our la dy friends for a neatly finished pin cushion. It makes our heart glad to know that we are remembered by our friends, and though we have’nt got any pins just now, like the old la dy’s coffiu, it may be useful after awhile. We talked with an old negro last week, who claims to be 109 years old. He says that he has been to Europe, Asia and Africa, and now he wants to go to the Centennial. Harris county ought to show her patriotism and let him go to the “big circus.” Several young ladies speak of visit ing the Journal office, and we shall be glad to see them at aoy time. We go to press on Friday and Tuesday evening, and the ladies will probably enjoy it more then, than any other time. Beautiful Pictures. —We have received from Messrs. Anthony & Cos. four of the most beautiful chromos we have ever seen. Lovers of good pictures should send on and get some; they will give satisfaction to even the most fastidious. Theso are no daubs, but real first class-pictures. A little, boy, a few days ago, pick ed up a gold nugget weighing two penny weights and six grains. A negro named Calvin Dunn was charged with committing a rape on his own daughter, in Bibb county, and has been committed to jail. Dead. —We regret to learn of the death of Mrs. Algy Howard, who died, after a short illness, last Mon day night. She was Miss Lizzie Red ding, and a grand-daughter of the late Col. A. R.Redding. Death is aD unwelcomed visitor at all times, but particularly so when it lakes a lovely bride, as in the present instance, as hey have been married only a few short months. We tender our sym pathy to the bereaved husband and ' many friends. EMIGRATION MEETING BY THE NEGROES. Big Day in Town. They Give Their Views. 7 Resolutions Passed. A largo crowd of negroes met at the Court House, last Friday, for the purpose of holding an emigration meeting. Sam Williams was elected Chairman, and fid. Robinson Score tary. Curtis Beall explained tho object of the meeting to be—“ Shall we em igrate, and, if so, whero to?” A committee of twelve were ap pointed to prepare an address to the people. Curtis suggested the names of Moses Askew, Owen Whitaker, Jordan Borders, Matt Marshall, An tony Crook, George Gray, Gus John son, Zeke Johnson, Anderson Mob ley and Lockhart Griggs. Curtis Boall was added to the Committee, and made Chairman. A committee of twenty were ap pointed on Emigration. The two committees retired, and during their absence several negroes told what they thought about emi gration. Sam Williams told first. He said that it had been a general rule when any one could do better it was their duty to do it. He came here forty years ago, and now tho country was worn out. He wanted to consider the question carefully, and others should do so too, ami if they wanted to emigrate, it is their privilege and duty to do so. He expected to take no 6teps in spite or malice. Irby Farley came next and made some very good remarks. lie put the State of Georgia against any State in the Union for health. Some couldn’t make a living here, and ho would let them go somewhere else. He could live here, and advised all who could to stay and do it, and not let this thing bother them. He knew they must have a living, if they have it to steal. He was sorry to see things in such a commotion, and wanted them to settle down on some thing. It is for each one to deciJo for himself what he will do, and those that are dissatisfied let them leave at once. West Pollard thought it was a solemn occasion and all should so consider it. Both parties, white and black, arc frnstra ed. Agents who come from a distance has 'caused the commotion. The white tnan has turned against'us. Before the war they made money, and we made it, too. Now, the white man says we are perishing them to death, and ourselves too. If they can’t make money on us, they ought to give us five dollars to get away on. They used to give a “nigger ” twenty-five cents to hold a horse; now they give him only that much for a day’s work. He wanted to stay here, but he didn't want to perish anybody to death, and would go where he could do some thing. Sy Nelson had never thought of leaving himself, as he had made a living, but others had not. One thing they want, is the wages raised. Raise the wages, and they will stay. If the white people want to make money on the negro, let them pay them higher wages and they will stay here and make it. He closed by asking the Lord to sanctify his few appropriate remarks. George Mobley had some little views on the subject. ITo said all of the people were not of the same mind. He didn’t believe all of the white people would give you fif teen or twenty-five cents, but some of them would give you all you earn. You stick to a man until you find out he won’t do to stick to, then leave him. Here the committee came in and the side-show closed. Report on Emigration received and adopted, as followers: We, the Committee, agree to em igrate to the West next fall un less our wages are raised. That we will send J. C. Beall and Jordan Borders to the West next fall, and pay their expenses. The address was then read, and, during the reading, was frequently applauded by the negroes. It was a well gotten up article, and will serve a very good purpose in a Radi cal campaign, but did not touch much on emigration. Whoever wrote it had an eye to his political laurels. The negoes all think that, they are very much imposed upon by the white people ; and were they to try until doom’s day to convince the negroes that the white men of the South are ihtir best friends, they would meet with no success, ©Hill XHA9fiA 8 S ©ISAVIE THIS is the title of a now and beautifu I work of art which we have just published.
