Tho City Council, at its adjourned
meeting held last evening, by a- unani
mous vote, mado a donation of $4,000 for
tho purchoso of a site for tho Boinan
Catholic College, which is to bo erected
in Macon. Tho sito lias Ivon selected
and the bnihling will be commenced as

Tho committee has power to make tho

The boat race which was to have taken
place two weeks ago takes place this af
ternoon nt five o’clock, sharp. Two boats
are eutered, the "Panicle.” by Walter
Johnston, and the "Cyclone,” by Arthur
Board man. Tho courso to be rowed be

Tho examinations under Question 1—
“Who aro admitted on trial ?"—was then
taken up, and tho following named ap
plicants wero admitted into tho Confer-
enco: B. W. Key, H. W. Key, Isaac
Carey, J. W. Weston, Cornelius Boland,
Bicliard W. Rogers. James E. Boric nnd
Wm. .1. blander.-.
A. II. Bedford, D. D., then addressed
tho Conference in tho interest of the
Book Concern, detailing in full its finan
cial condition, and asking for relief
through the instrumentality of the mem
hers of this and other Southern Confer
ences. Ho had already visitod tho Con
ferences and had met with encourage
ment everywhere.
It is a happy relief to have such an ad
dress os that of Dr. Bedford’s slipped in
botween the ordinary routine of Confer
ence proceedings. No man can make a
clearer or moro interesting statement of
fact- than he can; and no man can so
well enliven his address with agrceablo
touches of humor. Tho gravest of the
divines had to smile audibly several times
while the Doctor was talking.
At the close of this address Conference
proceeded to examinations under Question
2—“Who remain on trial?” Tho charac
ter of tho following named gentlemen
were passed and they remained on trial:
Albert MeCay Williams, Wilbur F. Bear-
din, Peter S. Twitty, John J. Boring,

In nenit Earnest,
Wo call attention to tlio advertisement
of Messrs. Brown A Co., which appears
this morning. They moan exactly what
they say about panic prices. They have
tho goods and intend to soil them, and
want only a small profit, as the times
aro hard aud^iuoney scarce. They want
tho people to come and look nt the goods,
whether they buy or not. The goods are
arranged conveniently for examination,
and tho prieo is plainly marked in figures
on each article. A reduction of ten per
cent, from those prices will bo made on
all bills of five dollars and over. They do
not expect everybody to buy, as the goods
would not go around; but they invite all
to come and seeand admire. Their store
is open eveiy night for tho benefit of
those who cannot go there during tlio
day. While they have sold very many
goods, their stock hardly seems to be
broken, and some of tlio handsomest ar
ticles they hare lead aro still on their
counters.
Narrow Escape.
One of Ward’s wood fiats struck a rock
nnd sunk in tho river above tho city
Tuesday night, having on hoard several
men, among them Mr. Jack Herrington.
All the men except Mr. II. jumped over
board and swam ashore, and tho last
they saw of the tint it was going down tho j
river and sinking with him on board, j
Hearing nothing of him after they had I
reached the shore, they supposed he had
gone down with the fiat, and they come i
to the city and so reported, and parties
went out immediately to seek for him. It
turned out, however, that Mr. Herring
ton was not drowned. Alter the boat had
reached the bottom, the water was found
to lx> just shallow enough to leave his
head above the water, and he stood there
until his call for help attracted the atten
tion of a gentleman who lived near and
went to his relief. When brought ashore
lie was greatly benumbed with cold; hut
a short while spent before a good fire put
him all right; and the parties who went
in search of him found him safe and
scowl
dicated
short bo
era may have time to get home to spend
Christmas with their families.
CONFERENCE PERSOVAL.
The Conference is a very large body of
men, and as far as we know the material,
it is an intellectual and zealous body.
The members appear to have assembled
with their minds fixed upon business, and
wo think nil due expedition will charac
terize the proceedings.
Among the distinguished ministers
present who ore not members of the Con
i’: ■.once, we noticed Bishops Pierce and
Fame, Dr. Atticu3 G. Haygood, Sunday-
school Secretary and editor of the Sunday-
-eliool papers; Dr. A. H. Bedford, book
agent, and Bev. James E. Evans, of Au-
gu-to. Bev. Mr. Fitzpatrick, of the Bal
timore Conference, nnd Eev. Mr. Lewis,
of the St. Louis Conference, were intro
duced by the Tiishop. They are here as
visitors.
Dr. A. G. Haygood preached at Mul-
1 vrry Street Church last night, nnd Kev.
H. II. Turks at First Street Church.
There was preaching also in the East
Macon Church, but we did not learn by
whom.
Wo presume there will be preaching in
all the churches every night while Con
ference remains in session.

The white store at the corner, com
monly known as the “ old reliable,” still
stands, and is a striking exemplification
of the power of modest worth and excel
lence. The outside of the cap and *
plate may be clean, while within all is ;
filth and corruption. Or stately palaces I
and hotels may appear grand to outward !
observation, while their interior are want
ing even in the ordinary comforts of life.
To this unpretending establishment, j
nevertheless is the centre of a great I
trade which permeates the land in oil J
directions, and carries healing and con
solation to the afflicted. It is the head
quarters of the celebrated Simmons'
Liver Regulator, which has done so much
to moke habitable the fertile but noxious
regions of the tropics, and has become a
household word ih all malarial districts.
