The alarm of fire this morning was caused by the burning out of a chimney of the house of Mr. Abe Adams near the Blind Asylum. The engines were out promptly as a high wind was blowing and the great Boston conflagra tion had not been forgotten. The alarm was given at half ten. Wild Turkey. Maj. John McManus, our city clerk, employ ed thanksgiving day in hunting at Pace’s sta tion Macon and Brunswick Railroad. He shot and killed a wild turkey weighing nine pounds. So dated was he at his success that he could scarcely wait for the homeward-bound train, having gone to the station an lionr an 1 a half ahead of the train. Railroad Accident. A lumber train on the M. & B. Railroad this morning while ascending a Hill about ten miles from the city met with quite an accident in this way: a few of the cars brolca loose but the train did not stop, and had not got much further when a few more broke loose and took the back track, running into the cars that had been left, smashing then, to pieces. The 8:z0 train for Brunswick (lid not leave the shed until noon to-day. Nobody hurt. THANKSGIVING DAY. HOW IT WAS OBSERVED IN THE CENTRAL CITY —TALK OF A TURRET— THANKS. Yesterday was the day that has been marked with a blue pencil in President Grant's pocket Almanac for Thanksgiving Day. It was not observed to an.* preponderous extent in our little city Perhaps a great many forgot about it, or didn't take the Enterprise, or perhaps they were not very particular about observing it nohow. We have heard of such things. There were services at nearly all the churches but the attendance was far from being large, and the weather wasn’t a bit too cold either. It was a delightful day. The sun shone down and heated the atmosphere to a delightful de gree. The stores kept open and business seemed to drive along unconscious of the red letter day. Yet the streets were not crowded. The stock of pedestrians was slim. Where did the people keep themselves! Were they at home employed In thanksgiving! We wan dered down to the Park. Only a few children were there, and they were not old enough to know it was thanksgiving day. But the man and brother knew it. lie had been slowly wearing out his almanac fingering and counting the days ’til Thanksgiving Day. And when it came he slept longer in the morn ing than usual. It was a day of rest to him snd he knew it, consequently treasured it. 110 didn’t exactly have any thanks to offer for his rountry and its rulers, but he w as truly thank ful for another day of rest. He did not wander out much during the day, but took the night in hls’n. He gathered his little band of "cheap tin horns” and paraded the streets. lie yelled vociferously and boorayed for Iluff until the junebug closed its sleepy eyes and weut to his Uttle bed—then all was still, save the occasional •igh of some unfortunate night mare with the epixooty. Thus the day passed away, leaving nothing in It to be remembered except one thing. We can’t forget that. It was a turkey. A turkey of large proportions and exquisite sweetness. None thought of the poor half starved printer bnt that trio <f. gentlemen whose hearts are so large that they think of snd assist everybody in trouble. Just about the time the cook was chopping her kindling wood preparatory to making a fire in the stove to cook dinner, a porter rush ed frantically into our office bearing in one band a suspicious looking paper Dag and in the other a note. Read the note and note the gen erou* nature of the gentlemen.

DETECTIVE UK IN ARRESTED. The arrest of Mr. J. 11. Merryduy as a Wllk lnsonUounty Kuklux is still fresh In the minds of our reude:s The manner hi which Mr. Mcrryduy was arrested has never been made publicly known, but is it has a particular bear ing on the ea-e in hand, we will lay an account of It before our readers. On the morning of October 22d Mr Merry day was engaged In hanging a sigu, and as he enjoys a first-rate reputation as an artist in that line, quite a crowd gathered around to ex amine it Among them was a large, portly man, with a red face well pitted by small pox. This was Snead, aU. 8. Detective. This fact, however, was uuknovvn to Merrydav. Snead asked who was the artist, and a bystander re plied Unit the gentleman in shirt sleeves, Mr •Merryilay, was the painter. lie instantly walked up to Merry day and introduced himself as Sncail, an Englishman. Merrydav being an Englishman also, they soon found themselves seemingly good friends. Snead hung around the paiut shop of Windhatd .X Cos nearly all the morning, talking on commonplace matters, and occasionally addressing Merry day as “Har ry.” This aroused sujdi#n and Mr. Mcrryduy asked : “How is it your are so familiar with my nine?" “Oh. well,” replied Snead, “1 heard of you a hundred miici from here. I hoard of you in Wilkin on.•, .u,..“ Mr. M. rtp:.ed that he had left there about a year ago. Finally Snead left the shop, promis ing to see him again. A little after dinner, on the 34th, M. met Snead near the Enterprise office, and was asked if he had seen two old English friends he had sent to sec him. Upon being told no, Snead proposed to look them up. in a few moments the two Englishmen were seen coming up the street. They met and the new-aetors in the scene were introduced as Capt Blacker and Mr. Doomsday. The quar tette repaired to the beer saloon of Mr. En gclkc, corner of Third and Poplar streets, where they were lo have a social chat over “Old England.” When finally in the room, Blacker pulled a warrant out of ills pocket and there arrested Merrydny in the name of the United States as a Kuklux. Knowing that his innocence could bo easily established, Merry day submitted quietly and asked to bo allowed time to arrange his business preparatory to leaving for Savannah that night. This request was readily granted by the gentlemanly Cap tain, with one condition and that was Dooms day should accompany him around the city. Doomsday kindly permitted Mcrryday to ar range ids business, and even tarn out with his fire company on parade. Mcrryday did not sec Doomsday until the parade was over and the engine housed. Then Mcrryday gave him self up, and the quartetto that had assembled at the beer saloon in the morning, left on the train that night for Savannah. Capt. Blacker got off at Gordon and the others continued on. It was then that Snead commenced trying to make Mcrryday “peach,’’ as he called confess ing. Having nothing to confess, Merryday was of course obstinate. Tins aroused the ire of the pock-marked Sneed, and he poured forth a perfect lava of abuse and curses. Col. Farrow being on board the train, was appealed to for protection. This lie said he could not give. Doomsday, who was in an other car, was then called on and he offered his protection They finally reached Savannah and reported at headquarters- Mcrryday requested to give bond (he was allowed to) before the commis sioner from whoee office the warrant was is sued. Ttiis was granted, and Merryday, in charge of one of the most gentlemanly officers, Capt. Blacker, came hack to Macon and gave bond before Commissioner Swayze. This morning while doing some painting In the back yard of Mr. Z. B. Wheeler, Snead came up and grossly insulted Merryday. Not being armed, and assured that Snead was, Merryday had him arrested by officer Murphy. lie will ap pear before the Mayor to-morrow in answer to the charge of disorderly couduct. This same Snead was docketed before Ills Honor the other morning for disorderly con duct, in anothar case, but from some cause failed to appear. We think his conduct should be severely censured by the U. S. authorities and that he should be dismissed from the service for his gross treatment of a prisoner. How long these outrages will be permitted to coutimio, we can't for the life of us, tell. Thunlisgiring Services. Services were held yesterday in the two Epis copal churches. At St. Pauls a very large con gregation listened to a short sermon from the Rector Rev. 11, K. Iteea, from Proverbs 3d chapter, Bth and 9th verses. He told them that they must not consider the service in a political light at all, though it might be so con sidered by some ; in other parts of the coun try where the former members of the old churcii from which they had acceded, in their blind prejudice of Christmas and Easter, wanted a substitute; they were welcomed to it for us ; we consider it of far more importance as being by the church from the beginning of it, especi ally set part to offer thanks to the Almighty for a propitious year and bountiful crops; and this year did they not have great cause to thank Him ? There is not one that we know of in actual want, and when the minister in his walks did find such, how freely did they respond to his appeals for assistance for them We must thank him with offerings from onr gains and profits of the year. llow many had thought to lay by a tenth of his portion for tin: cause of God ? It was the law of the old Jew ish Church to do so, then win satisfaction and prosperity follow. Many good tilings were then brought in by the congregation One instance we heard we will relate: an extremely poor woman brought in part of her store and contributed it, when she had as little as she could to get along with self.

J T Is universally conceded that advertising is a necessity to success in business; it is also conceded, by the shrewdest business men, that newspapers’are the best medium tor reaching ail parties whose trade is deulred. TUK MONROE ADVERTISER readies more of tho people trading with Ma con than any other journal published In the country; it Is, therefore, the be*t medium of communication with the planting interests. We will be happy st any time to furnish refer ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere, who will testify to the fact that they have re ceived orders for goods from parties who read their cards in The AiluerUeer. In fad, many who have availed themselves of its columns, candidly say that its value exceeds that of all other journals in which they are represented. The Adverllter has tho freshness of youth anil the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly successful. CHARACTER OF ADVERTISEMENTS No advertisements arc admitted which are not believed to be above question and of real valno, and from parties so unquestionably re liable that the readers of The AdrerOeer will bo safs in ordering them from any distance, i o our readers, the fact of Its appearance here has til the weight of endorsement and anthorUy.
