The Weather.
Yesterday was one of tho most dis
agreeable days of the season. A cold
east wind, that penetrated to ono’s mar
row, made things as uncomfortable
they usually get to be. Tho day was
cloudy also, with some drizzle in the
afternoon.
■ Broke.
E. A. Shirer A Co., for tho purpose of
enlarging their store to meet tho do-
marnls of their increasing business, hare

Marriages.
On Thursday, tho 17th inst., near
Vienna, Ga., Mr. J. W. Edwards, tho
popular young dork with Messrs. J. W.
Burke & Co., was married to Miss
Ponnle, daughter ofjWm. Bryan, Esq.
Mr. Loch ran McLean, of McRea, Ga.,
was married to Mis3 Hattie Lassetcr, in
Pulaski, Tcnn., on Tuesday, tho ISth
inst. Miss Lasaeter formerly resided in
this oity, and was a graduate of tho
Wesleyan Female College.
The Mayor's Court.
Mayor Huff was on tho bench yester
day morning, having returned from a
brief trip to Atlanta.
Tho first caso on docket was against
Ed. Ward, who was unable to givo a sat
isfactory account of himsclf.oftcr having
been picked np under suspicious circum
stances. He was held until further in
quiry can bo made into bis social stand
ing in Washington county, whence ho
claims to havo come.
Henry Murray, who was arrested day
before yesterday, in tho manner of com
mitting a larceny from a country wagon,
was lodged in tho county jail.
Sam. C Lai born, another suspicious char
acter, was catechised and dismissed.
Walter Wood and Eugene Marshall, a
pur of portable news stands, were up for
fighting. Tho offenso being of not a very
bad character, tho lads were told to be
have themselves in future, and were dis
missed.
citement of the hour, will eventually be
come a source of great pride and much
pleasure to her friends.
Mendelssohn’s I Fed liny March was exe
cuted by Jiisz Alice Leverett with grace
nnd precision. She has a fine idea of
time, and her playing does credit both to
herself and her instructor.
An Autumn Song, by the same author,
was very charmingly sung by Miss B essia
Napier and Miss Mary Myers.
Mis* Moreland presented a Flower Song,
from "Faust,’’ and proved that she could
ring as well as play. Her gift was highly
acceptable.
The rendition of a Transcription from
Bomnambula, placed Mira Napier among
those who perform instrumental music
with taste and skill.
The Distant Chimes is a vocal trio, by
Glover. Its beautiful harmonies were
finely expressed by three most sweetly
according Toices.
In quick succession came that delight
ful melody, The Harp in the Air, by Wal
lace. The accompaniment was very pleas
ing, and the pianiraimo passages ineffa
bly sweet.
Mira Katie Ashburn, one of the best
performers the college has ever produced,
entertained the company with Bclisario.
To thoso acquainted with the piece it is
only necessary to say she played it well.
Tho young ladies having performed
their part at the programme so well, the
instrument, as well as the floor, was
yielded to Miss Daniel, Professor Whit
ney and Mrs. Whitney.
The latter playing the accompaniment,
the two former sang that exstatic duet of
Abt’s, IThen I Knave that Thou art Near
Me. It was listened to with profound
delight.
Mira Daniel then gave, by request. Ah !
S'hit into, ancor mi vuoi, by Mercadante,
singing tho Italian words. Her voice, a
remarkably rich and dear mezzo soprano,
shows an unusual amount of cultivation,
and needs only to bo knows better in or
der to bo appreciated and to receive the
admiration which it merits. Being per
sistently encored, Mis3 D. sang, with
much expression, that sweet old negro
melody. The Old Folks at Home.
Thus closed tho evening’s delightfnl
entertainment, which is intended to bo
merely tho beginning of a scries of soi
rees to bo given occasionally at tho col
lege. Tho few to whom was granted tho
privilege of attending on this occasion,
certainly appreciated and enjoyed tho
musical banquet very highly, and tho
writer hopes that when tho time comes
to havo another, his name will not fail to
go into the cauldron.
Soiree Musleale.
Those who imagine that but little in
the musical lino i» being accomplished
by tho young ladies of tho Wesleyan Fe
male College are moat sadly mistaken.
How agreeably disappointed would such
***** th «r only enjoyed tho
wnter s privilege of attending the soiree
which was held in tho College library on
Friday evening last. A very excellent
and enjoyable musical feaat had been pre
pared, and it was served up in a most
sumptuous style by the young ladies
composing tho piano and vocal classes,
uador the direction and supervision of
Professor Whitney and Miss Daniel, re
spectively.
The entertainment waa opened with
that popular and pleasing waltz, The
Fbiry Tale, by Faust. As a piano sclo it
wae nicely executed by Mira Fannie More-
land.
The semi-chorus, Hope, from Eossini,
was sung by seven lovely maidens, each
of whom seemed herself a personation of
this one of the "blessed three.”
Mira Kate Keaton regaled her audience
with Don Patqvalt, a charming piano so-
k>, by Kosellen. Though possessed of
coCAiderable difficulty, it was well per
formed. especially the three octave chro-
scales with which it abounded.
A duet. Land of the Swallows, sung by
Misses Mary Myers and Fannie More
land, evinced a degree of Toeal talent
and skill quite surprising in amateurs
et scarce "sweet sixteen.”
Fearer my God to Thee, another exqui.
rite composition for the piano forte, was
most happily and feelingly interpreted by
Mias Lou Du Bose. Under her soft
tewah the instrument seemed to breathe
far more expression than
words could utter it

Sldncy Lanier’s Concert.
Mr. Lanier leaves Macon on tho 25th,
to remain in Baltimore the balance of the
winter, where he is to Do engaged in com
pleting his poem, "Jacquerie,” and in
Ailing tho position of first flute in the
symphony orchestra of tho Peabody Con
servatory. Ho is also prosecuting somo
oxtensivo experiments, designed to apply
a modern acoustical invention to tho
purpose of greatly enlarging the powers
and rciourco3 of tho fluto and all similar
wind instruments.
In order to accumulate a fund to de
fray tho expenses of theso experiments,
ho intends organizing a scries of concerts
in Baltimore, and will also give one in
Macon, on Wednesday, December 23d, at
Harmonic Hal!. He will he assisted by
Mira Hardeman, Miss Boifeuillot, (each
of whom will sing with Ante obligato,)
Mrs. Wells, Mra. Hunter, Prof. Froyer,
(tho violinist and leader of tho Atlanta
Orchestra,) Prof. Bukowitz, Mr.Eeynolds,
Mr. Arthur Wood, Miss Bemd, (that sur
prising little pianist,) and tho Teutonia
Mannerchor; and with this materiel will
present an array of vocal and instrumen
tal solos and concerted pieces, such as
will certainly constitute a beautiful en
tertainment.
Apart from the excellent purpose for
which this entertainment is to be given,
tho merit of tho promised programme is
sufficiently high to ensure a crowded
house. Mr. Lanier is an artist of a very
high order. Thoro has never been a flute
performer in tho city who approximates
his exquisite execution. Were ho not to
bo assisted by tho brilliant group of la
dies and gentlemen enumerated above,
his sole ability would bo sufficient to de
light any audience with taste and culture
enough to appreciate music that is artis
tic almost to a classic degree. We ear

Another Horse Thief Arrested.
A negro on horseback mode his appear-
anco in tho city yesterday, and attracted
somo attention by his efforts to sell tho
horse. Ha wanted fifty dollars for the
animal, hut finally offered him for ten
dollars cosh, and forty to be paid next
September. Officer Grace hearing of this,
and ascertaining tho direction in which
tho negro had gone, started in pursuit.
Ho found him on Oak street, botween
Fourth and Fifth, and hailed him. Tho
negro, perceiving that Grace was an
officer, put spurs to hi3 horse with tho
intention of getting away. But Graco
was equal to tho emergency. He has
made several horse races, and has always
come ont winner. He has plenty of
wind and good bottom, and never breaks.
He fired at the negro once as ha ran, but
without effect. The chase was kept up
until they reached the Southwestern
depot, when the negro tumbled off the
horse, and ran in among the cars. Grace
mounted the horse and continued the
pursuit, until the negro finally ran into
tho enclosure around the Central Bail-
road shops, and secreted himself. Grace,
assisted by a number of tho employees
of tho road, commenced the search for
tho fugitive, and after hunting for abouf
half an hour, found him in the ironware-
house, on the upper rack of iron, in a
corner so dark that a match had to be
struck before ho could ho discerned. He
was brought out and locked in the bar
racks. He confessed that he stole the
horse from a man named Yeoman, who
lives near Americas. The negro gives
his name as Bob Rutherford. He says
he stole the horse on Thursday, and rode
him all the way to Macon.
Company were in active use, and the
marked success which attended the day*s
work should be noted as demonstrating
the advantages which this new system
certainly possesses. Added to the celerity
of the work was the absence of all crowd
ing and confusion on tbe piers, an obsta
cle in times past which, by the crowding
of drayl on the wharves, has seriously re
tarded the transfer business. All was
quiet and orderly on Union wharves yes
terday, and we have no donbt that a like
condition prevailed at the railroad depots.
Hereafter, cargoes of salt, rails, fertiliz
er*, and all low class freights, will move
to destinations, even to the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers, by carloads, with a
saving not only of expense in the trans
fer, but of that greater economy growing
out of superior handling in thi3 way over
the old system. Deep water and ail rail
cars, loaded on the wharves, mean busi
ness. T
This greatly expedites the transmission
of freight over the fast freight hue, via
the Macon and Augusta and the South
Carolina railroads. The merchants and
shippers of Karen might, perhaps, dem
onstrate the dispatch and economy of thi3
rente by giving it a trial.
Messrs. Dabbs tz Obear.
There is no use talking about it; this
enterprising firm will enter the lists with
any similar establishment in the State.
A glance yesterday at the beautiful
stock they have been so ha3y opening
night and day for a week past, revealed
such a dazzling display of fancy crock
ery, images in bronze, glassware of every
conceivable pattern, dressing cases,
toilet furniture, and a multitude of just
such articles as Santa Claus doat3 upon,
that we were not a whit surprised to
hear that all hands had been employed
tho entire day in filling orders and pack
ing up the purchases of the host of cus
tomers who passed in and out. But last
night from sundry barrels, hampers and
crates, they have repaired damages, fill
ed up vacant spaces, and cn Monday will
be ready to inaugurate a new campaign.
For tho benefit of the public, wo announce
that their store will be kept open at
night all of this week.
Geo: T. Rogers ’ Sons.
These gentlemen havo found their
business to increase to such an extent
that they have been compelled to en
large their facilities, and arc taking in
the store lately occupied by Mr. Isaac
Winship. They havo now in store one of
the largest stocks in Macon, including
everything belonging to the grocery and
provision line. As an example of the ex
tent of their business we may state that
during tho past week thoy made an order
for fifteen carloads—about 250,000 lbs.—
of flour. This is a vest amount of flour
for a single order, but it gives an idea of
tho business conducted by this house.
Thoy make specialties of tho " Silver
Lake” aid " Falls of Ohio' ’ brands of
flour, two of tho best known and mo3t
popular in use. Tho advertisement of
the houso appears in thi3 paper.
C. C. Guilford A Co.
Wo call attention to tho advertisement
of the above-named firm. The name of
Gnilford has been so long connected with
the music business in this city, and so
well known throughout this and adjoin
ing States that we can say little that
will add to its reputation. Thoy have
now on hand a largo number of pianos
and organs, all kinds of wind and string
instruments, sheet music and znnsic
books, strings and musical merchandise
of all kinds. Their stock is very full
and complete, and thoy do business on
business principles—selling at reasonable
prices.
Tbe Annual Masquerade af 1875.
The masquerade by the young men of
Macon will occur on Wednesday, the 13 th
January, instead of tho 7th, as was first
announced. It will, as heretofore, take
place in Balaton Hall.
The managers have engaged Mr. Chas-
Wceso, a costumer of Syracuse, N. Y-, to
be in Macon with his entire wardrobe,
and all who wish to hire costumes are re
quested to wait until Mr. Worse arrives,
as the managers have guaranteed to Lim
a large amount in order to induce Mm to
come hither.
The invitations will be issued about
tho 1st of January, and those who receive
them must take care of their admission
tickets, as the committee on invitations
will net issue tickets a second time to any
one.
The hoy* claim that the invitation is
to be the handsomest ever seen in Geor
gia. A considerable amount of money is
expended each year in getting np these
cards •( invitation, and they have always
been works of art.
Dispatch and Law late*.
A late iraue of the Charleston Keyes and
Courier makes the following notice of the
new transfer system which has lately
gone into operation in that city •
Baltimore, gave the opportenitfjgf^
teg the new transfer system between the
wharves and railroad depots. Yesterday
the twelve can of the Enterprise Baihrey
So Beggar.
To read tho patronymic of Geo. Beggs,
judging by the sound, it might bo sup
posed that ho begged patronage. Most
decidedly this is not tho fact. Beggs
gives (doesn’t beg), and at his well stocked
store, tho knowing housekeepers and best
ladies of the oity are wont to replenish
their larders, sure that tho articles they
purchase are just as represented, and
"nothing more.”
Beggs hails from the " land o’ cakes,’
and for aught we know, Presbyterian dis
senter as he is, sprang from tho persecut
ed Covenanters who dared to defy kingly
edicts, and fell under the displeasure of
James Graham, the notorious and bloody
" Claverhouae.”
But now he is an American, and Demo
crat of the “ straightest sect,” and his
mission is to feed the Simon pure Democ
racy.
Let the faithful go to his store, then,
and get all they want for the snstenta-
tion of this " tabernacle of day," and bo
assured that in no instance will they bo
gouged or foully dealt with.
The advertisement of Mr.'Beggs speaks
for itself, hut by all that is nice and deli
cate, don’t forget that Christmas turkey
which will be furnished, fat, tender, rea
sonable and delicious. See what he says
elsewhere.
How They Da it.
To see the crowds that have been
thronging the store of Greer, Lake &
Co., one would have expected they would
have about cleaned out their store; and
we must confess that wo were a little
surprised this evening on stepping down
there to find their store-room as full of
goods a3 over. They explained tho ap-
parent anomaly by saying they kept
standing orders for all the leading
Xmas goods, as oranges, nuts, raisins,
citron, currants, candies, figs, fancy
crackers, and we can assure the public
or any other man, that they have at the
lowest prices, the fullest lines of holiday
goods. Their orders reach from the
Canada line to Mexico, and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coasts, and include
everything good to eat, and just "a wee
drap of the crathur” to help keep
merry Xmas.
The ladies are respectfully informed,
that shonld they wish for a suitable
present to a gentleman, they will find a
beautiful an-1 fine selection of meer
schaum pipes, meerschaum segmr hold
ers, segar bases, walking causa, etc., at
our store.
We would be pleased to bare tbe ladies
call and examine. Shall take pleasure in
showing these goods.

Office of the Masonic Belief
Association of Norfolk, Ya.,
Norfolk, November 18,1874.
To the Holders of Tickets to the Grand Gift
Concert of the Masonic Belief dissocia
tion of Norfolk, Va.
The Board of Directors of this Asso
ciation, feeling assured that the patrons
of their enterprise and the public gecer
ally are satisfied that in its management
the interests of all concerned will be
strictly guarded, with honesty and fair
ness ; and relying upon the belief that all
who have aided us in our effort to com
plete tho Masonic Temple in this city,
are willing to rely upon our judgment as
to the expediency of another postpone
ment for a few days, notwithstanding our
announcement that the conceit wonld
positively be given on tbe 19th inst.,
have decided that a short delay will be
more satisfactory to all holders of tickets
than to have a partial drawing on Thurs
day next.
The following reasons havo induced us
to this action:
First—While our receipts havo been
large, they have not been of sufficient
amount to enable us to give a full draw
ing.
Second—A drawing on the 19th instant,
would not yield enough to accomplish the
object for which our Association was or
ganized and chartered; and,
Third—The encouragement which we
have received convinces ns that in forty
days more we shall, without any failure,
give a drawing which in its results wHl
be acceptable to all our friends.
We have therefore fixed upon
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29TH,
as the day when the Concert and distri
bution will take place, whether all the
tickets are sold or not or the money will
be refunded upon application and pre
sentation of the tickets at the Agency
where purchased.
By order of the Board of Directors.
