Christian Eqcaxjtt.—At a Primitive Baptist
feet washing, in the country, on Sunday last, a
good old colored member of the chnrch had his
feet washed by tho Deacon, just as if they were
as white as those of any member of the church.
All Macon darkeydom had a big camp.meet
ing on Sunday last at Seago’s station, on the
Southwestern railroad. We did not connt the
cars of the train which carried tho crowd ont
from this city, bnt there must have been fifteen
or twenty, and every one of them was densely
packed with darkies.
Latino or Corner Stone.—This afternoon
at 4 o'clock, the Masonic fraternity will lay the
corner stono of their Temple, now in course of
erection on Mnlberry street. The ceremonies
are of a peculiarly impressive and imposing
character, and there will, doubtless, be a vast
assembly of our citizens present to witness them.
Mr. Samuel Lawrence, Grand Master of Masons
in Georgia, is in tho city and will officiate. A
number of other Masons of prominence, from
different parts of the State, will be in attend
ance and assist in the performance of the cere
monies.
In this connection we might state that M. W.
Grand Master Samuel Lawrence delivered a
most chaste, eloquent and instructive address
last night in the Hall of Macon Lodge, No. 5,
on the subject of Masonry. The hall was crowd
ed by resident and visiting members.
It will be seen in onr advertising columns
that St. Omer Commandery No. 2, Knights
Templar, will appear in fall dress in the proces
sion this afternoon and at the laying of the cor
ner stone.
We should state also that Grand Master Law
rence will assemble an Occasional Grand Lodge
at 10 o’clock this morning for the purpose of
laying the corner stone. The several lodges of
the city will participate, and all visiting breth
ren are fraternally invited to join them. The
ladies and public generally are also cordially in
vited to be present. The citizens of Macon
feel proud of the splendid temple which the
Masonic Fraternity of the State are erecting in
their midst, and they will attest their interest
and pride in it, by turning out in large num
bers this afternoon.
BY TELEGRAPH.
New Firm.—Dr. A. P. Collins nnd Mr. Frank
M. Heath have associated themselves together
nndor the firm name of Collins &. Heath, for the
purpose of conducting a real estate and insur
ance business and as general commission mer
chants. Both aro good business men and fully
reliable. They can be found at No. G9 Second
street, lately occupied by Hon. Goo. M- Logan,
deceased.
Diabolical—Some mischievous, or moan
principled wretch, cut the ropos nearly in two,
Wednegday night last, by which two men were
elovating themselves on a platform, for painting
and tuck-pointing the walls of Johnston's jew
elry store. Fortunately, the nearly severed
ropes were noticed by tho workmen on tho next
morning, or in all probability both would have
been killed. Whether the act was merely a
piece of mischief on the part of boys, or tho
design of some fiend in human shape, is un
known. ,
Bbown House.—Since tho new and elegant
tile floor has boon laid in the offico at the Brown
House, and tho now iron lintels plaoed at tho
doors, it lias given the lower portion of the ho
tel a palatial and stylish caste, in harmony with
the splendidly famished apartments overhead.
We can jnstly claim now, that it has no supe
rior in the South, if in the wholo country, as a
hoteL Its proprietors are gentlemen of spirit,
courtesy and energy, and conduct tho various
departments with the precision of clock-work.
There is no jar, confusion, or roughness about
it, and a guest is mado to foel that he is at
homo with every comfort and luxury at com
mand.
Bed Head.—Through the evor.courteous and
kind attention of onr friends Messrs. Holmes &
Olay, who furnished ns with an elegant “turn
ont," we spent Snnday forenoon with tho crim
son pink of the Savannah News, in strolling
through tho quiet groves and solemn shades of
Bose Hill Cemetery. Wo fonnd Pinky to bo a
most genial, witty and companionable gentle
man, much as wo have said to the contrary not
withstanding, and we listened with pride and
pleasure to tho expression of his almost entha-
siastic admiration of the romantic beauties of
our oemetery. Many Bpots he characterised as
the most beautiful ho had seen in tho State.
There was but one thing wo regretted during
the ramble, and that was, not a dipper, cup or
gourd could be fonnd at any of the springs. We
xespeotfnlly suggostthat Crystal Spring, atleast,
be supplied with a dipper, and let it be securely
chained to the iron railing around the spring.
Pjnky also greatly admired our numerous stately
and magnificent family residences, the new
Court-house, etc., and went into ecstacies over
the boanties of the Central City Park. Ho likes
Macon the best in tho world, bnt he will make
war upon its editors when at home, and if be
don’t stop it, ho will bo furnished with another
trip to tho cemetery. We had a pretty chance
to pop him head-foremost in the Crystal Spring
on Snnday, and get rid of him, bnt his dimin
utive size, mild bine eyes, and interesting gab,
plead eloquently against the “deep damnation”
of disposing of him in that way, and wo let him
slide.
The State Fair.—Within the last day or two
we have conversed with several gentlemen of
tho city who attended the Agricultural Conven
tion at Borne last week, and they are all of the
opinion that tho Fair will be largely attended by
the people of North Georgia, as well as by those
from other portions of the State. It will be re
membered that tho Stale Apricultural Society
adjourned at Borne, to meet again^p this city
on the evening of the 23d of October, the first
day of the Fair, that its officera might clearly
understand all matters pertaining to the exhibi
tion, location on tho grounds of their various
offices, the schedule, in fact of the Fair, so that
there would be no confusion, misunderstand*
ings, delays, otc. So far as the preparation of
of tho grounds and buildings are concerned, we
have only to.Bay that they will be ready in time
for tho Fair. Mayor Huff is giving them his
personal attention and superintendence, and
knowing the spirit and energy of the man, we
know that ho will make things come to time. It
has been suggested, and’wisely, too, we think,
that a resident Committee of gentlemen
be appointed to assist tho officers of
tho Socioty in the discharge of their du
ties, by giving them all desired information
in regard to tho various buildings on the grounds
and other local matters, and moro particularly
to assist exhibitors in arranging their articles
for exhibition, and aiding them in securing
board and lodging for themselves and forage
for their stock. It is desirable above all things,
to give no just cause for dissatisfaction to any
body, in regard to the management of the Fair.
Let every exhibitor have a fair showing, and
every visitor a fair sight, and all will pass off
pleasantly and successfully. In the awarding
and distribution of premiums there will be no
delay. As we authoritatively stated a few days
ago, tho premiums will be paid in greenbacks
on the Fair Grounds, immediately after they
are awarded by the judges, and no successful
exhibitor will experience the least delay or
trouble on this score, as was the case at the
Fair of 1869.

best tonic and blood alterative in the world.

ing to-morrow to take action regarding the
credit of onr city, I beg leave to suggest to
those gentlemen to deliberately weigh the mat
ter in hand before adopting any rash measures
looking to the discredit of city money. Every
citizen should have a pride in seeing that the
obligation of the city, so far as its issue of tbeBO
bills is concerned, should be maintained invio
late, and the writer will cheerfully approve of
any measure looking to this end by taxation or
otherwise, bnt let nothing be done which will
tarnish the fair fame of the city in this matter.

which Mr. James Baskin was thrown from a

braised and cut abont the face. A little son of
Mr. Popo Freeman was thrown from a spring
wagon on Fourth street, while the horse to
which it was attached was running away. Tho
littlo fellow was not mnch hurt, but he made a
narrow escape from death or serious injury.

Tho barometer has risen slightly since Sun
day afternoon at the Pacific and Bocky Moun
tain stations, and remains stationary north and
west of Missouri. It has fallen in 'Wisconsin
and Michigan, and threatening weather is re
ported from Southern Wisconsin and Iowa. Tel
egraphic communication with stations in upper
Michigan is prevented by extensive fires, and
smoke and haze is reported from Michigan to
New York, and to Kentucky. Bain and cloud
have continued in Florida and South Carolina,
and are now reported from Louisiana eastward.
The maximum temperature has extended from
Missouri and Arkansas to West Virginia and
Eastern Tennessee. Southeasterly winds, with
partially cloudy and clear weather, has pre
vailed on the middle and east Atlantic coast.
Probabilities: The barometer will probablyrise
in th^northwest without material change in the
weather. The conditions are _ favorably for
local storms to-night in Wisconsin and Hlinoi3,
which will probably be repeated Tuesday after
noon over the same regions. Lighter rains, if
any, will probably be experienced to-morrow
on the Gc'f coast, and increased cloudiness
with generally pleasant weather throughout the
Atlantic States.

TO OUR PATRONS AND FRIENDS.
NEW ARRANGEMENT
Having disposed of all but a remnant of onr Groceries, we think proper to announce that we shall not
replenish that branch of our business, as we have determined to abandon it altogether. This change
does not contemplate any redaction of our business, but is found necessary to encourage rather than
check the rapid growth of our business in other departments. In future we shall devote ourselves ex
clusively to
DRY GOODS,
BOOTS AND SHOES,
CLOTHING AND HATS,
FURNISHING GOODS,
AND NOTIONS.'
In our Betail Department, we eliall offer Dry Goods alone. By Wholesale, we shall offer at all 86fr-
sona the best stock in all the enumerated branches to be found in this State, or south of New York.
We invite the attention of Merchants to an examination of our stock of
Domestics and Woollen Goods*
Which were bought before the late advance, and in which wo can offer great inducements. We shall
» deal heavily in all
GEORGIA MADE GOODS,
And have made special arrangements with leading Factories whereby wo shall never require more than
the Factory price. We shall make a special business of
CALICOES,
And shall keep at all times a stock from which any size order can be filled.
As we seldom fail to make good impressions on merchants who know their business, we hope to re
ceive calls from many this season who have hitherto failed to do so, as our stock will be unusually at
tractive, and our promptness in buying certain goods before the advance enables ns to offer some good
bargains. Respectfully,

MAGIC DOOR SHOW CASES!
T HE doors have a brass spiral spring extending from bingo to liiDgo, giving an ornamental appo&rance
to tha projecting part of the hinges.
The advantages of this door are: It will shut or open as by magic, without tho slightest noise, jar or
breaking of glasB, even by the roughest of use. Can be opened or shut instantly by moat any part of
the hands or arms, and remain so perfectly without catch, bolt or appendage of any kind. Is not affected
by warping or shrinking, and is warranted to be exactly what has long been wanted for a Bhow case door.
