Dedication Service.
Sabbath last wiR long ho remoaiboroil by
the friends of christiauity in this city nnd
vicinity, for the consummation of an event
greatly desired. For years the little band
known as>the Sandersvillo Baptist Church,
have been struggling to build a house of
worship. It is now complete nnd ha:, been
dedicated unto the service of the great l Am.
May it be as a tree planted by the rivers of
water, whose loaf shall not. fade, and whose
fruit shall ever bo abundant and acceptable
unto the Master of the vineyard.
The dedicatory services were inaugurated
by divine worship-on Saturday evening, Rev.
N. B. Binion, Evangelist for the Washington
Association, delivering an ‘impressive ser
mon. This was the first sermon ever preac li
ed in the house.
By half past ten o'clock on Sabbath morn
ing a large congregation had assembled to
witness the dedication. The services were
introduced By the congregation singing, to
that grand old tune, “Coronation,” the soul-
inspiring hymn commencing—
“All hail the power of Jesus name.”
Sung with an earnestness indicating “with
the spirit and with the understanding." Then
followed those sweet and impressivfc words,
so dear to every Christian heart—
“Jestia, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom flv.”
Dr. A. J. Battle, President of Mercer Uni
versity, then ascended the sacred desk and
opened the regular service of the hour. His
text was the 16th and 17th verses of the
28th chapter of Genesis : “And Jacob awaked
out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord
is in this place; and I knew it not. And he
was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this
place! this is none other but the hou se of
God, and this is the gate of heaven.”
Our only regret is, that we cannot give the
reader even an outline of this eloquent and
impressive discourse, beautifully appropriate,
and delivered with an earnestness deserving
so important aD occasion and worthy of the
devoted servant of God from whose lips it
fell. Notwithstanding the people were un
comfortably crowded together in portions of
the house, they sat with rapt attention du
ring the entire discourse, apparently drink
ing in every word. We are glad to know that
Dr. Battle will fill this pulpit again before a
great while. *'
With an earnest petition that the blessings
of Heaven might descend and dwell in ibis
place, as did the spirit of the Lord in the first
Temple of Solomon, the speaker sat down.—
Rev. T. J. Adams rose and read the conclud
ing hymn. Before singing he stated that the
church lacked something over three hundred
dollars of being paid for, and asked that the
amount he raised before offering the dedica
tory prayer. A collection was token and
near the amount paid in cash or pledges.—
That venerable servant in Israel, Father Asa
Duggan, then, in earnest prayer, asked God’s
acceptance of the house as His own, to send
the dews of heaven to water the little vine
planted here, and to bless the city at large.
This closed the service. Who so worthy to
offer that last prayer as this old Simeon, at
whose hands so many of this assembly had
received the sacred ordinance of baptism,
-mui wlxo now patiently waits, with lamp
trimmed, filled and brightly burning, the
summons of his Lord.
The day was bright and pleasant, and noth
ing occurred to mar the interest of the occa
sion. The ministry of the county were pres
ent, with a few exceptions. We understand
that arrangements are being made for preach
ing regularly, Dr. Battle and other of the
Faculty of Mercer University supplying the
pulpit until a regular Pastor is secured.

A visit to ChioRfo.
Bath. III., April 90th, 1878.
To-night finds mo nt home. Limt. Monday,
the 14th, inst. Art (a cousin,) nnd I toohpas-
sngo for Chicago, «( Tpavia, on tho Chioago,
Burlington nnd Quincy Railroad. A run of
t wo hours brought us to Galesburg, the capi
tal of Knox county, quite a beautiful little
eity of 5,000 Inhabitants. It wuh raining all
the time, however, and of course Iliad bnt a
poor chance to look around. At 8.20 wo
took the I, 11. nnd W. Road ; and after a
sweet sleep, in one of Pullman's flno sleep
ing cam, I was aroused at sunup, by tho Por
ter, who shouted : "Got up now right away!
soon be to tho city.” Accordingly 1 arose,
and soon had my toilet arranged. In a #w
moments the conductor opened the door nnd
sang out: “Chicago!” Tho car stopped,
and wo were among the dense throng of pas
sengers—buss-men on every side, with long
whips and suspicious looking countenances,
who kept clamoring : “Right this way, gen
tlemen ! right this wny! Buss for tho Sher
man House! Just getright ini Only 25cts.
to any part of the city,” Ac. Ac.- But ns it
was day we prefered to run a free “bnss” of
our own, so up Lake Street we started.
I did not find Chicago the placo my imagi
nation had pifctured.
*’Tis distance lends enchantment to the view:’
I had expected to find it almost a Baalbeck;
hut, instead, I found it one of the finest-built
cities I ever saw. One who had. never heard
of the fire, could not believe that five miles
of it was totally destroyed a year and a half
ago.
Every house is now armed with Babcock’s
fire extinguishers, and has wire connected
with the Fire-Department so as to signal it
the moment a fire breaks out At every
door of the business houses you see a card
saying: “Smoking is strictly forbidden in
this house.”
I visited McCormick’s great Reaper and
Mower factory, where over four hundred
men are employed. You would have to see
it to appreciate.
At night we visited Myers’ Minstrels. I
laughed till I was sore, and heard some of
the grandest music I ever listened to. Wed
nesday, called on Messrs. Farrar A Wheeler,
(tho Wheeler A Wilson Sewing-machine
men,) and found them quite nice gentlemen
indeed. At night saw Hamlet played, at
McYickar's theatre. It was simply a success.
Thursday, visited Union Park, and saw a
perfect Menagerie; Deer, Elk, a Polar Bear,
and many other animals.
Friday morning I bade adieu to the great
Metropolis of the West, and arrived at home
safe and sound, (without having my pockets
picked,) on the 7.20 at night. My account
of Chicago is poor, bnt as good as the sleepy
author can afford.
Affectionately Ac.,

St. Petersburg, May 6.—Hon. James L.
Orr, United States Minister to Russia, died
unexpectedly and suddenly to-day of inflam
mation of the lungs. He had been suffering
cold for some days.
A fearful state of things exists in Louisi
ana. Fighting by armed forces represent
ing the two factions is reported near St. Mar
tinsville, with a loss of three killed and two
wounded. Great excitement prevails.
An Indiana excursion train plunged down
an embankment last Sunday. The cars were
turned bottom upwards, and a number of
the excursionists were seriously, and some
fatally, injured.
Commodore Wm. Smith, who was-'in com
mand of the frigate Congress when it was
sunk by the Confederate ram Merrimac, died
on the 1st of May. He was seventy years
old.
John R. Thompson, a distinguished South
ern author, and Journalist, died on the 1st
inst. Formerly he was editor of the South
ern Literary Messenger. He was connected
with the New York Evening Post, at the time
of his death.
The Universal Exposition opened at Vien
na, in Austria on the 1st of May. The New
York Herald correspondent descibes it as a
grand opening. The presence of the Emper
or and several royal personages, gave consid
erable zest to the occasion. The American
department is said to be incomplete.
A Convention of the Governors of Several
States is to take place in Atlanta on the 20th
Gov. Smith has invited the U- S. Sen
ate Committee on transportation of which
Senator Norwood is a member, to be presant
at the meeting.
- Just before the adjournment of the Gener
al Assembly of Deleware, the Senate and
House of Representatives passed joint reso
lutions characterizing the “intervention of
the Federal authorities in the affairs of the
State of Louisiana,” as “an act of usurpation
subversive of State Rights, destructive of
civil liberty, and a flagrant violation of the
duty of the executive head of the Fed
eral Government,” and in behalf of the peo
ple they represented they .protested against
the action of the Federal administratien to
wards the State of Louisiana, and expressed
their sympathy with the people of that State.
The Georgia Teachers Association met in
Atlanta last week. The convention was well
attended by teachers from all sections of the
State, and some of the best educators of
the Country were present and addressed the
Convention. The following named gentle
men were unaimously elected as officers of the
Association for the ensuing year : President,
Rev. Dr. A A Lipscomb, of Athens; 1st. Vice

West Point; 5th, Vice President, J. H. Fitten,
; Secretary, B. Afallon, Atlanta; Treas
urer, W. Le C. Stevens, Savan rah.
The Association will hold their next meet
ing at Macon, May 1st, 1874.
The President appointed the following gen
tlemen as delegates to the National Teachers
Association: Profs. Orr, Afallon, Zettler,
Brown and West.
Lass Week’s Cotton Figures.—Tho New
York Chronicle reports the receipts of the
seven days ending last Friday night. May 2d,
at 48,046 bales, against 46,373 last week, 55,-
830 bales the previous week and 48.945 bales
three weeks since, making the total receipts
since the 1st of September, 1872/ 3,258,170
bales, against 2,583,269 bales, for the same
period of 1871-72, showing and increase since
September 1,1872, of 674,901 hales.
The receipts for the same time at the seven
interior ports were 8,576 bales, against 4,481
for the corresponding week of last year. The
shipments were 11,316 bales, against 7,267,
and the stock remaining on hand at the close
of the week was 80,658 bales, against 36,352
last year.
The visible supply table foots up 2,591,248
bales, against 2,476,462 at the corresponding
date last year—showing an increase of 111,-
756 bales.
There is but little news from the Modocs
since the last “skrimmage” in which they
killed so many of the U. S. soldiers. There
is no demonstration being made on either
side. The troops are quiet, waiting the ar
rival of more troops. The Fourth Infantry
from Little Rock, and five companies of Cav
alry are expected, when operations will com
mence. It does realy seem ridiculous that
such a great number of Federal soldiers
should he required to contend with that lit-
lte parcel of 35 Indian warriors.
Poor France is again in a terrible turmoil
The restless French people cannot be quiet
with any situation. The recent election in
Paris has put them in a ferment, and the pres
ent Republican government l&cks considera
ble of being sfable, and it is not certain that
it will last long. Count De Resumat, in the
election for A'srsClliVlj-rxxxrxx, wno <lo£o<k4©J, «M«J
his defeat is said to "be embarrassing to the
moderate Republicans who supported him.
The Monarchical press regard the election as
a terrible awakening for the conservatives.
The Count desired to resign from ministry of
Foreign Affairs, but President Thiers has in
duced him to keep the position. Bonapartist
Journals have asserted that the Conservative
Republic is dead.
The stockholders of the Port Royal Rail
road held their annual Convention, at the
Sea Island Hotel, in Beaufort, S. C., on

The Oregon Indians.-—A dispatch frqm
Portland, Oregon, dated 29th ult., says that
1,400 Indian warriors are camped at White
Bluffs, Yakuna River, above Walla Walla,
and are putting up breastworks. The set-
lers are greatly alarmed. The Indians are
travelling about painted, and warn the
whites to leave the country. The Spokane
Indians are threatening, nnd are also warn
ing the settlers to leave. Massacres like
those by the Modocs are feared.

lHvmnotin, Oa., May 7th, 1873.
Pa III ors tferahlt^-On last Saturday, the 3rd
inst. the colored people of our neighborhood
had a large l’tc-hlo at this place, nnd tholf
domennor towards their white iteigbbora wae
ao commendable and their amnBement of so
innooent ami ^creditable a nature, that we
K Uonld nofVass it by without giving them a
ford of oncer, and encouragement. Let
them know that, bo far from disliking to see
them make any pretentions towards enlight
enment, nnd culture wo like to nee it, and do
not object to their enjoyment, when it is of
an innocent and inoffensive nature.
Thera is a colored man, by name, Richard
B. Lamar, who hns a night school of over
one hundred. Two or three nights out of
tho week, they nssemblo, nftor their day’s
duties aro over, and sock to learn whatever
information he is calculated to impart, in the
way of spelling and reading. His students tf)
attend regularly nnd take a great interest m
trying to give what information they con.
The Pic-nic was gotten up by this school.
They got the permission of their employers,
made preparations, nnd got up a good dinner
for tho occasion. They had a drum or two
nnd a fife, anil mndo tolerably passable mnsic.
Had n sable sister, of tendor years, whom
they cRlljd Retsy Baker, to represent Queen
of A^iy, (aiyt marching, down to the place
that had heei^seifected, they corwned’ and
presented her with the sceptre in a more hand
some style than you would have expected
from them. All the whites of the communi
ty were invited to attend, which many did,
and they were treated with the greatest dis
tinction and respect. At dinner a separate
and distinct table was set, and tho whites
present were invited to partake, while the
colored men proposed to await until they
were through, and to serve them before offer
ing to retire to their own table and partake of
their dinner. After dinner, about fifty or
sixty of the school, gave a specimen of their
oratory. It was, in the main, well done,
considering their opportunities. There was
a cake offered as a prize for the best deelaim-
er.
Festns Rivers and Asa Trowbridge were
adjudged so nearly equal in their merits as
de claim-era that the /Superintendent” le.
R. B. Lamar (col) adjudged them equal,
and gaveteach half the cake!
After this they formed in lines, marched to
the house of Mr. Hardwick, and presented,
in a very neat style, a fine cake to Mrs. T.
IV. Hardwick, begging her to accept the
trifling gift from her most humble servants,
as a slight memento of their lasting gratitude
for her kindness in assisting them in pre
pairing for their Pic-nic and humane consid
eration for their feelings. After this they
quietly dispersed.
Their behaviour was unexceptional and I
am sure, all the whites were pleased to see
them enjoying themselves so well.
Very Respectfully,
Observes.

not to abuse his sisters. Philips turned into
abusing the young man, and jumped upon
him, when young Turner gave him a mortal
stab. The Coroner’s jury prononced it “jus-
fiable homicide.

Tribute of Respect*
At a call meeting of the Irwinton Lodge,
F. AM., the following Preamble and Reso
lutions were adopted:
Wheeeas, it has pleased Almighty God to
remove from us our Worshipful Master and
brother* ISA. Simmons, "therefore—
Be it Besolved, That we wear our usual
badge of mourning for thirty days; that our
hall and his chair be draped for ninety days;
that a blank sheet be selected on our book
and his name and rank he thereon inscribed;
that a committee of five be appointed to com
memorate his worth, and that a copy be sent
to the following papers: Sandebsville Her-
ald, Macon Telegraph & Messenger, Sparta
Times A Planter, with a request to publish and
that a copy be sent the family of deceased.
Died, on the 11th day of April, 1873, Dr.
ThSias A Simmons, aged 37 years. Thus in
the vigor of life and pride of manhood the
Maker has seen fit to summon his servant.
Anri though with stricken hearts and : hum
bled spirits we are mode to chronicle his
death, yet wo should remember that “He
doeth all things well.” Brother Simmons
had filled, with honor to himself and pride
to the order, the chair in the East since the
establishment of the Lodge in 1867. His
superior administrative talent, his readiness
on all occasions to aid a brother in his du
ties, and above all his exemplary conduct as
a mason, secured to him the fealty of the
brotherhood, and the greatest respect among
the people. We have lost an admirable offi
cer and a worthy brother, the community one
of its staunchest pillars of morality, the med
ical profession one of its most zealons work
ers and promising students, and his beloved
family— God alone can estimate their loss,
for he was a most devoted husband and fath
er. May God sanctify this deep affliction to
the good of us all, and “speak peace to onr
troubled hearts.”

General Presentments of Enfarnnel
County.
We, the Grand Jurors chosen, selected and
sworn for the April term of Emanuel fup e *
ner Court, beg leave to make tho following
presentments:. °
It Is a source of profound thanks to God
that the hand of disease has touched hut
light upon our people, and that peace and
general prosperity prevails throughout our
county.
In consequence of the devastations of tho
late storm, many of the Public Roads of our
county are not in as good order as they
should be. Our people have been and are
very bnsy with their farming interests, and
hence the Public Roads have been neglected.
We hope and believe the Commissioners of
the various Roads will have them put in
good order as soon as practicable.
The Committee upon Public Buildings re
ports the Jail in bad condition, needing re
pairs to make it safe. We urge the repairs
of the same as early as possible.
We recommend that the Court-house be
repainted inside and out. We also recom
mend that two dozen chairs for the Court
room be bought, and that Balusters be ex
tended across the Court-room to separate the
people from the -Bar and Jury Boxes, and
that a table be procured lot the Petit Jury
Room.
Upon examination, we find the Public
Records in good dtder. The various county
officers seem to be discharging their duties
faithfully and fully up to our most piecing
expectations. The Books of the county
Treasurer, we find correct and all credits
given and supported by proper vouchers.
We direct attention to the worthy indigent
poor of our county and insist that provisions
be made for their support.
We recommend that the Ordinary grant
an order to the citizens, to change the Ogee-
chee River Road from inside the plantations
of Mrs. M. A. B. Bell, B. L. Lane, T,,M.
Lane, Est A D. Kent, A, C. Brinson and
Aaron Bennett, leaving the said old Road
from above Maj. E. B. Johnson via the house
of B. L. Lane, T. M. Lane, Mrs. A. D. Kent,
A C. Brinson and intersect near the house
of A Bennett; and also recommend an order
to the citizens for a Public Road from Wilder
Philips to Moore’s Ferry on the Ohoeppee
River.
We recommend that John Bell former
Cl’k, be paid ($7,08) seven dollars and eight
cent, his account for stationary. We also
recommend that all the Bailiffs and Jurors
be paid for each day in attendance at this
term of the Court, the sum of two ($2,00)
dollars per day, also that Swain M. Ander
son, Charles Faixeloth and John. Lamb, Jr.,
each be paid five ($5,00) dollars, and that
David R. Griffin be paid three ($3,00) dollars
for extra service rendered in procuring wit
nesses at the last Term of the Court, (Oct
1872.) We further recommend that the Clerk,
Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff be each allowed
the sum of three ($3,00) dollars per day dur
ing the sitting of this Court
As a people, we feel honored in having as
our presiding Judge, one whom the State
has on several occasions honored by putting
in high and responsible offices, the Hon. H.
V. Johnson, to whom we return thanks for
his uniform courtesy to our body, and pledge
onrselves to aid him in his fearless efforts
at reform.
In Solicitor Robison we recognise an offi
cer of the finest integrity, one who will re
flect credit upon his office. To him we ex
tend thanks for courtesy to our body.
