At a uie- ting of the director* of tho
Macon Itank and Trust Company held
yesterday, a dividend of ten per cent, for
the eight months that tho concern was
in operation was declared, payable on
anil after the 1st day of January. This

Urlnrate, to tile General Conference.
Conference posted a re rotation yestcr-
dsy to go into the election for delegates
to the General Conference at 10 o’clock
to-day. This event is looked forward to
with a good deal of interest, not by the
members of Conference alone, but by tho
people generally. The position is an im-
jx.rtaut one, and the people ore anxious
to know by whom it is to be filled.
The Qonernl Conference will tucet in
Louisvillo, Ky., in May next.
The Calico 1‘nrly.
In our notice of tho calico party yester
day we inadvertently stated that it was to
bo given by the Sisters of Mercy. This,
our readers must havo known was a mis-
take, as the Sister* neither give nor at
tend parties. Tho entertainment Is to bo
given by the ladies of tho Iloman Catho
lic Church, and tho beneficiaries are tho
orphans who are under the benevolent
care of the Sisters. It will bo a sort of a
Christmas gift for tho oYphans, and will
doubtless contribute greatly to their liap.
piness and comfort.
More Horse Thieving.
Tho horse thieves inode another raid
on the promises of Mr. C. It. Faulk, of
Twiggs county, on tho night of tho 16th
instant, and carried off a fine mule. A
description of the mule will bo found in
another column. Kvidently there U a
gang of horse thioves operating in
Twiggs, and tho citizens of that county
ought to soo to it that tho rascals are
caught and punished. A rigorous exam
plo made of the first ono caught will de
ter future operations of Lbatclioructcr, and
the people will have comparatively little
trouble in capturing ono if they will only
set about it in the right manner and
promptly. Mr. Faulk's stables hare
been raided upon twice in about throe
weeks.
IIOMICIDK.
A Former ItrHlilrut of .Hnron Killed.

yesterday informing lam that his brother,

V been shotnml killed.at Hempstead,Texas,
by John T, Griffin. The killing took plnco
on Wednesday. Mr. Ross and Mr. Griffin
were cousins. The latter was formerly a
resident of Fort Valley.
No particulars are known further than
that he was shot through the head and
killed almost instantly. Tho cause of the
trouble is not known.
THE BOAT BACK.
Arthur Uoardinaii the Winner.
Tho boat race, as promised, was rowed
yesterday afternoon, precisely at live
o’clock. A fine start was effected, 'Walter
Johnston, after a few strokes, taking tho
load by half a bait’s length, which lie
kept through the first quarter, when Ar
thur Hoard man regained his distance,
and they pulled a half mile nose and
noso; both of them handling the oars
with such skill and precision as to attract
the admiration of all present. Coming
down tho last quarter Hoardman showed
his advantage in experience, keeping-up
a long, steady, persistent stroke, and
won by a boat’s length—und the hardest
rowing that ho ever did.
Tho prixe, “ a pair of ponies,” was
purchased of Mr. Engelke and properly
presented to Mr. ltoardmau, but as Ar
thur is not a skillful rider the Impression
of his friends when he started homeward
with them was that lie would soon he
thrown. Quite a large crowd of ladies
and gentlemen were present to witness
the raoe, and were well pleased.

port from a special committee with ref-
ereneo^to Emory College. This report
lias particular reference to the endow
ment of $300,000 which it is proposed to
raise for tho college. Tho report was ac
companied by a circular appeal to the
people in lielmlf of tho institution. Dr.
Evans followed tho reading of tho report
by a very earnest address in favor of vig
orous action on the part of tho ministry
and people in behalf of the college.
Rev. J..O. A. Clark introduced resolu
tions plodging the Confercneo to a hearty
co-operation in tho work. Mr. Clark
thought not only tho sum asked, hut a
million can he raised for the college.
Judge James Jackson, in rising to sec
ond tho resolution, spoko very earnestly
and eloquently in behalf of tho institu
tion.
Judge Jackson was followed by Bishop
Pierce, who made somo interesting state
ments respecting the College. One new
building has lately been completed and
finished, and another is about half-fin
ished. It would have been finished and
occupied now had not tho monetary
cramp and his absenco from the State
prevented. Ho hod visited all the Dis
trict Conferences in tho State during tho
year, and had raised in cash subscriptions
und honorable pledges tho sum of $30,000.
Twenty thousand more is needed, and it
would he Ms first work to raise that
amount. Ho had no doubt that it would
ho mised, and ho gavo fair warning to nil
that tlio required sum must bo forthcom
ing. Tho Bishop said ho had somo se
crets which ho did not intend to commit
nicuto; but ho would assure them that
tho Collego would liavo an endowment of
$300,000, and that, too, sooner than any
of them expected. Ho would havo a talo
to tell, after nwhilo which would startle
them—not in tho sense of fear—but to
causo thorn to giro thanks to God.

The following communication was re

ent :
Macon, Ga„ December 10, 1873.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council oj
the City of Macon :
Gentlemen—We have been appointed
a commute of the citizens and tax-payer,
of this city to present to your honorable
1 iody the proposition of Bishop Gross, the
Roman Catholic Bishop of Georgia, which
we do. and respectfully urge the same
u]>on your prompt consideration and
adoption.
He offer, to establish in Macon or it,
immediate vicinity, a College of hi,
Church, of high order, upon the simple
condition that a proper site for the build
ing, are donated by the city. The prop
erty owned by Messrs. J. W. and A. J.
Orr, in Yineville, will meet all the re
quirements, and wo are assured that the
same can bo bought at a reasonable price;
or if not, other places equally eligible
have been tendered for the purpose.
In addition to establishing a first-class
college, where probably from two to three
hundred boys will be annually assembled,
the Bishop also proposes to establish iu
connection therewith an infirmary, or
house to care for the wants of the sick
and poor, than which no two establish
ments could address themselves with
more favor to the city authorities, in the
opinion of the undersigned.
Most of us are Protestants, and in no
wUe connected with the Roman Catholic
Church, and we present and recommend
this scheme as citizens and tax-payers in
a mere business point of view, as we be
lieve. for the good of the city, and also
believing that unless we act promptly in
the matter some other place will avuil
itself of this offer.
Very respectfully, etc.,
C. A. Nutting, Chairman.
