H »n. G. S. Rosser.: Among the fev? faithful representatives of their constituents now in the < Legisla ture, this gentleman stands conspicuous. He has devoted himself sot only to tho local interest of. his county, bnt to the general welfare of his section and of the whole State. • He is always at his post and thongh not a speaking member his influence is felt on every question of im portance that comes before that body.— His constituents are particularly indebted to him for the success of their favorite Rail Road enterprise. Prom its first in troduction he has worked unceasingly and indefatigably, jand against great opposi tion until ho has triumphed and now the Americas k Florence Rail Road with 812,000 per mile State aid is a success. He has always voted against the < travagant pay of nine dollars a day for members, against the Opera House pur chase and against all of the schemes of plunder for which the present Legisla ture has been so famous. Webster county could not do better than return'him again as their Represent ative at their ensuing election. RAILROAD NOTICE, To tSie Delegates of tlic Neu nau and Americas Railroad Con vention. By n resolution adopted by the Conven- n when it was in session at Geneva on the lr.th day of June last, tho Chairman „f th«* Convention was required to reas- u mble the Convention (when a Charter to said Hoad was obtained) at such time ,!!-l place as he might designate, and os I have been reliably informed that there u.is been a Charter granted to tho corpo rators of said Road by the Legislature of Georgia now in session, I therefore re quest the Delegates of said Convention, :.s well as the Corporators mentioned in said Charter, to assemble at 10 o’clock, m., on Tuesday tho 27th inst., at New- •iaii, (lx, to consider and pass upon busi- ti, .ns of importance to said Company.

Our young folks are luxuriating in delightful moonlight promenades. ®af*Tl»e weather for the past two day* lias been very cool and dry. City Bonus.—We are informed that secret meeting was held in this place a few days ago, l>v a few individuals who no taxes to the city, at which time a ,vas drafted and forwarded to Atlanta to l>o presented to the Legislature, grant ing tho City Council authority to issue bonds to the amount of fifty thousand dol lars to build reservoirs in tho city. Was such an outrage perpetrated on an enlightened community ? Who author ized these men to take such a step to have the citizens taxed for such a pnr- poso ? There is no necessity for such an act, and if there was, the tax payers of tho city should have been consulted, and a public meeting held to ascertain the wishes of the citizens on so important a utter. We don’t believe in a few per sons taking the financial affairs of the city in their own hands and issae scrip and bonds of the city at any time that suits their convenience and for their own use. We don’t believe either in such things being done in the dark and among those who have not the interest of the city at heart. We hope that our Repre sentatives in tho Legislature wiil do all their power to defeat the bill should i)G presented. By so doing they will carry out tho wishes of almost tho entire community. imu Blank forms are now used formar- ri.ige proposals. We would profer a full J. It. G. and T. N. W.

McGehee, Antho ny, Dickson and other Divines, the series of religious meetings that have l>een progress for the past two weeks in East Americas, still increases with unabated interest. The meetings aro held under an arbor every night, and are attended by citizens from the city and for miles tho countryi A great deal of good is being done by these servants of God sewing the seeds of righteousness and reaping a harvest for tho Grand Farmer. On Tuesday night last, some thirty forty penitents presented themselves at the altar, and tho whole congregation were deeply impressed. Tho aged and the young wend their way up the isle to grasp tho hand of tho ministers, earnest of their intention to seek the Way and the Truth. Over thirty persons have connected themselves with tho church since progress of the meeting. May the good irk continue. Sunday School Celebiutiox. —Friday. last was a gala flay for the children in the neighborhood-of Plains of Dora. It was a day set apart for the celebration of the Sabbath School Scholars of the Union School located in that neighbor hood. The place selected was a beauti ful grove near the Springs. We did not arrive in time to witness the opening exercises, bnt learned that after prayer by the Rev. Mr. Rente, and sing ing by the Scholars, a very appropriate address was delivered by Mr. P. S. Twitty one of the Snperintendants of the school. Rev, Dr. G. T. Wilburn was occupy ing the stand and had commenced speak ing when we arrived. The address of this gentleman was one of the best of the kind wo have ever listened to. We had prepared our notes of the address, but for tho want of room, cannot dwell upon them as we would desire. Snfficit, to say, that it was just such an address as the Dr. knows how to make. The next speaker was Maj. M. E. Ry- 1 seder. He stated that he had been fifty years engaged in teaching Sabbath School Scholars, and that he had never forgot the lessons taught in the Sabbath School. Before getting hid! through with his speech he had to close, on t count of a shower of rain, which put stop to tho exercises. The faces of the children, radiant with happiness, constituted a scene, which angels might hai e looked upon approv ingly. The exercises at the grove being con cluded, tho company repaired to the ta bles near the spring, which were most abundantly spread with everything calcu lated to satisfy the appetite and refresh the inner man. All who were present agreed that they had never witnessed a more delightful celebration, or one that passed off more pleasantly. The Sabbath School at the Plains is in a very flourishing condition. May its numbers continue to increase. The exercises throughout were made joyous by the delightful melodies of the Americas Brass Band whose services were engaged for the occasion. We take this occasion to return the thanks of the tiro school, as well as our own, for tho part they bore in rendering tho exercises i agreeable. In the afternoon, we had the pleasure of organizing a Lodge of Good Temp lars; composed of a number of the best citizens in the neighborhood. In anoth er column will bo found the list of off!

The trustees of this college have instituted one Beneficiary Scholar ship for each Congressional District in the Southern and surrounding States. By this means very many poor but deserving young men will be enabled to obtain a thorough medical education. Any young man wishing to take advantage of this Benefaction has only to write to the Rep resentative of the Congressional District in which ho resides, or to the President of the Medical Society of his State, or to Dr. E. S Gaillard,Deaa of the Faculty of the Louisville Medical College, Louis ville, Ky., when he will receive full infor mation of all that is necessary for him to secure one of the Scholarships. With proper and welcome delicacy the names of those who have secured the Beneficiary Scholarships will be known only to the Dean of the Faculty. It is unnecessary to commend those who have established these noble Beneficiary Scholarships.— Their act will bring them commendations wherever it is known. cool. Mr. Jas. P.

K3u A fight occurred between two ne gro men, daring the night of Tburday, named Lawson Johnson and Bob ; Harris, in which the former was cut so severely with a knife in tho hands of the latter that his life is despaired of. We have heard so many conflicting reports as to the origin of this difficulty that we sliall refrain from giving either. We learn that Har ris is the step-son of Johnson and that he was .promptly arrested by Policeman Lee and confined in the city gnard-lionse. SSL From our new ndvrtisements it will be seen that a new firm has settled in our midst and engaged in the mei tile business, hoping to gain a propor tional share of trade by keeping only the very best quality of goods. They intro duce tliomselves to the buyers of Ameri cas and surrounding country through out columns, this morning, promising noth ing but what they are fully able to per form. This then, being the case, we aw confident that Oppenheimer k Frank’* store will soon be one of the fixed insti tutions of our city. Their experience in business will soon give them a promi nence that will enable them to rule cloth ing at such low figures that their store bound to be the popular resort of those wanting good clothing.

Change or Schedule.—It will bo seen ora a notice in another column that a very important change has been made in tlie arrival and departure of the trains on tho Southwestern Railroad. By the change persons taking the night train at Americas arrive at Macon in time to con nect with the day trains for Atlanta and Savannah, provided they want to go to cither of those cities, thus saving the pc-nso of remaining in Macon all day. B0u Every Saturday for September 10 is one of the handsomest Illustrated Papers ever issued. It contains Europe an War Pictures,—the Baden Prisoners taken at Nioderbronn ; French Soldiers bathing at Nancy; A Prussian Outpost; Saarbrnck; and Some Recruits for tho South German Army. It has, besides, fine portraits of Mademoiselle Sessi and Geo. W. Childs of the Philadelphia Ledger; a beautiful art picture, Morning in tho Desert; and three admirable sum mer pictures.—A Picnio in tho Woods, by A. Hoppin; Summer Days, by W. J. Hennessy; and On the Beach at Long Branch, by C. G. Bush. Its Literary contents comprises and very interesting Editorials, on The Balance of Power, An Empire's Bull Run, On the Uncertainty of Things, A Desirable Calamity, etc. It has a summary of Home and Foreign News, tw o additional chapters of “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” a sketch of Geo. W. Childs by Jame3 Parton, and other fresh and readable articles. Altogether, it is a remarkable number of this firsts family Illustrated Weekly.

They would do well to remember that a judicious ad vertisement “is like a city built upon a hill, ” it attracts the attention of all the people in that section. We would sim ply suggest that the Republican has been doing the official printing of four < ties for tho last sixteen years, where it has a larger circulation than every other paper in the State, and merchants who wish their business to be kept before these people—who all trade here—will find it profitable to use our columns. 5- In the House on the 31st August, a bill to allow the Southwestern Railroad Company to subscribe for stock in the Americus and Florence Railroad Compa ny was read the third time and passed. Onr Webster county friends can set the ball in motion now, ns soon as they please.

A Woman Kills Herself Shouting.— At Bethel church, in Catoosa county, a woman under the influence of religions ex citement, commenced shouting, so intense w#s her enthusiasm that she did notoease her gyrations tillover come tor violent ex ertion, intense heat and the fee ted atmos phere of a close room. In this cond tiun of utter prostration of mind and body, she was borne out of the house; but her vital energies could not be resuscitated, and she was soon a corpse. A young man, during the same meeting, was car ried out, having been overcome by op pressive heat while shouting.—Dalton Citizen. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. Whereas, God in his all wise providence has seen fit to take from our midst our aged and venerable Brother, Elder Wm. Ross, who departed this life on the 28th day of July last, after having .been engaged ip the Ministry for a number of years during which tune he was seldom absent from the House of God where his breth ren met to worship, and whereas we feel that in the death of Brother Roes, the church has sustained tho loss of a zeal ous and devoted Minister, and vrhere- we feel that our loss is his eternal gain, therefore, 1st, Resolved, That while we mourn the loss of our venerable and belovod Brother we bow with humble submission to the will of Him who works all things after the counsels of his own will. 2nd.
