Yesterday a jury met at the court house and condemned the last piece of property needed in the corporation. This was the right of way starting beyond Redden Smith’s, and running through the Smith estate lands in front ofthe Mnsury property, to tlio corpora tion line. The jury assessed the property at 8750. They also assessed the right of way through the Masury property, fixing the price at 8000. This is out of the corporation, and the company foots the hill. Two or three more pieeesof country right of way, within three or four miles of town, next Saturday, which will close up the right of way in town and county. The company have already secured the right of way through Colquitt and Worth, probably with a few mi nor exceptions.

McIntyre who has work ed day and night for the rond, never flagging, never weakening, will prob ably go to Macon this morning to see the officials, with a view to closing up the town’s action in the premises. Fire Last Night. A small house on Monroe street, the property of Julius Walden, colored, was burned last night. The depart ment turned out, hut owing to the ab sence of water the house was nearly burned down before a stream was turned on. The furniture wus saved by the neigbors as Walden and his wife were away. It was reported that insurance to the amount of 8500-was held on house and furniture. Origin of the fire is iinknuiv.

Gus Hurst says he will attend the big picnic at Ochlockoucc—if lie finds himself able to tackle the dinner. Colored S. S. Convention. As a matter of general interest, an interest which the white people feel in reference to the moral training of tlie colored race, we subjoin the fol lowing from the Southwest Georgian: “The Thomasville District Conven tion of the Colored Baptist Sunday Schools inct with Mount Calvary Church in Cairo tiie 9th of May. According to previous arrange ments the introductory sermon was preached by the President,Rev. T. W. Cobb at 3 o’clock p. m. It was clear and to the point. After the sermon the president declared the convention open for the transaction of business. Secretary R. M. Colson aiiuouiictd the following committees: Committee on rending letters, Rev. A. S. James, and Miss Alverta Spence. Committee on finance, Rev. G. L. Taylor, Rev. T. C. Williams and Rev.D.W.Washington. Interest ing communications were received from the various churches in the dis trict setting forth the condition of the Sunday School work iu the diflercnt charges. Fifteen charges were rep resented by about thirty-five delegates, besides a large uumher of vistors. Through the instrumentality of Rev. G. L. Taylor, chairman of Fi nance Committee,delegates to the con vention were given ouc fair for round trip by the S., F. & W. R. R. authori ties. The report of the treasurer would put to shame some of the religious white people who met iu conventions. R. W. Colson and T. W. Cobh were appointed delegates to the State Sunday School Convention. The Convention then adjourned to meet with Elizabeth church, (Iroovervillc, Ga., on Friday before the 3rd Sunday in September. Those who preached during t he Con- veil tfoh were Revi.D. W. Wasliington, T. M. Cobh and A. C. Linton. Their sermons spoke well for the advance ment of the negro in religious mat ters.” Several creditable essays on Sunday school work were read, amt a resolu tion passed pledging all never to drink mother drop of liquor. There are many good colored men working hard to improve their race, morally, socially ml financially. They have the best wishes, and will have theco operation of the white people in this work. A big union picnic is set down for the 4th of June at Mr. Jo Massey’s; so Jim Taylor says. There were quite a number of com mercial men in the city yesterday.

Death of J. W. McRae. Mki.rosi:, Fla., May 15.—J. W, McRae died here at an early hour this morning. 'The burial took placo this afternoon with Masonic honors. Melrose loses ( tic ot her best and most useful citizens. The deceased was a brother of t lie Messrs. McRae, of this place. She was a school girl coming from school; she passed a plum tree. “(>, I do want some green plums, so had,” she said, looking wistfully at the tree; and there was not one green plum on it. The green plums are a failure this Doing Their Master's Work. The intimate and triendly relations of protection and trusts and the sub serviency of the republican party to the interests of those who thrive by bleeding the people, was thoroughly illustrated in the house of representa tives the other day. In consideration of the tariff bill, Mr. Anderson, ol Kansas, (a republi can, but not an orthodox protectionist, except to the extent of talking one way, and voting the other in the last pinch), moved an amendment empowering the president, in his discretion, to suspend the duty on articles which shall become the subjects of trusts and monopolies. The republican mem bers were probably scattered about in the cloak room, and the result was a soiid democratic vote, reinforced by two republican votes, and the measure carried. Then the servile forces of monopoly were rallied, and on a vote by tellers the result was reversed, all the republicans except two voting against the proposition, and thereby becoming the tools and declaring themselves the friends of trusts, and all other monopolies, as against the people. After the record made by the re publicans in this congress in favor of monopolies and despotism, if they do not receive the scorn ol the people and shall not he kicked out of the trust they have betrayed and the hon orable positions they have defiled, it will be a difficult matter to conceive of any legislative outrage which the American people will rebuke.

Not more than ons-tenih ot the quanti ty will he shipped from here this sea son that was last, but still the fruit growers are not at all disconsolate. They say they are satisfied with a ood crop every three years. Many of the trees which bore large crops last year are dead, hut the young orchards which will come into hearing next year are flourishing. There will be no plums at all and the apple crop is also cut off very much. The Great Financial Enterprise.
