SI C. t and from there to Atlanta, if
so, it will toe compelled to come
through Athens or go a good deal out
of its way to avoid the city—which of
course it would not do. Greenwood
is the proposed terminus, for the
present, of the Angusta and Knox
ville road. Mr. Moore estimates the
distance from Greenwood to Atlanta,
via Athens, at 130 miles. Capt
Thomas wrote him that he thought
that too great, perhaps, by five miles;
even that coaid be lessened sixteen
miles by making an arrangement- with
the Georgia road at Stone Mountain.
Also, he wrote that the country be
tween Athens and Atlanta is broken,
but without any very great depres

work, that it took to build the rail
road from Atlanta to Gainesville.

The deacons of a Congregational

effect that they wanted him to stop

Tbe report of the vising com.
mittee to Wesleyan Female College,
was referred without reading to the
educational committee; as- also were
those of umilar eoaiaiUeoaof Emo
ry, LaGrange Female and Dalton Fe
male colleges.
The report of the - publishing com
mittee on the Wesleyan Christian
Advocate was read. It stated that
the number of Advocates printed No
vember 12, was 5,640. Of these,there
were 2,404 sent to the North Geor
gia Conference, 1,425 to the South
Georgia, and 514 to tbe Florida.
There are 400 non-paying subscrio
bers, and 1,100 to whom it is sent
for half price, $1.25: Gross receipts
for the year ending Nov. l,for adver
tising were $l,752.72;for subscriptions
$8,311.94 Of these receipts ten per
cent were disbursed to tbe three pat-
ronizing conferences, as per contract
—four per cent, of which was lor the
literary fund. The report was re
ferred to the committee on books and
periodicals.
It was stated that rooms had been
provided for tbe meetings of commit
tees, in some of the University build
ings, and the basement of the Pres
byterian church. '
An invitation was read from Prof.
Charbonhier,as secretary of the facul
ty, inviting the conference to visit the
University at any time. Received
and accepted as tar as possible, with
thanks. ,

New Toek, November 29.—The
Truth publishes an interview with
Mrs. Lincoln, who is now undergo
ing treatment at Dr. E P Miller’s
medical bath establishment in this
city. Mrs Lincoln sat propped with
pillows on a sofa in the second story
in a plainly tarnished room. She
cannot move without assistance. Her
chief physical ailment is spinal di
sease, caused by a severe fall received
bile she was iu Europe. She is, in
fact, deserted, and next to friendless,
with tbe except ion of her son, Robert
and bis wife, who visit her at inter
vals, two or three’times a week. Her
doctor is Dr. Louis H. Sayre, a lead
ing physician, who was a schoolmate
when both were children in Lexing
ton, Ky. Mrs. Lincoln’s income
at its outside does not exceed)
$4,500 per annum. The treatment
which she requires and the cost of
living where she can have necessary
advantages will exceed her income.
She deeply feels the neglect of her
once fond friends, and her situation
is one certainly demanding sympathy
and consideration of tbe people. Her
eyes suffused with tears as she re
lated instances of her husband’s gen
erosity during the war, and that she
had remonstrated with him, fearing
that he would go out of office in debt.
He said : ’Never mind, Mary, I’ll go
hack to tbe saw, and with hard work
I think I can get together enough to
make us comfortable for life.’ ’And
be would, too,’ said Mrs. Lincoln,
'Mv husband could not have lived
and not worked, and with what he
learned when he was President and
the prestige his record would have
given him, I believe he could have
earned many thousand dollars in
J ear.’ The condition ot Abraham
iincoln’s widow will form a national
comparison with the situation ot the
loved ones of President Garfield.
The exposition reporter was im
pressed yesterday with a display, not
or’ cotton, or machinery for ita pro
duction or manufacture, but an agr.-
cnltural show of another class, ana in
which every one is certainly interest
ed. He raters to seeds—seeds for the
farm and garden, the conservatory
and window—everything from the
Cfireals of ordinary culture to the rar
est seed at equally rare prices; wheat
av twenty dollars a bushel, potatoes
at sixty dollars a bushel, cauliflower
seed two dollars an ounce, oioeraria
seed at sixty dollars an ounce. Oh,
no! we didn’t buy any—we leave
that for onr state agricultural com
missioner, and will expect to receive
some at the expense of the dear pub
lic. We must say, however, that
these very rare seeds are the excep
tions, many old varieties being nearly
if not quite as good and si price* to
suit the means of everyone. Figs do
not grow on thistles, neither good
cereals or vegetables from poor seeds.
Such being the case we must recog
nize as public benefactors all who by
selection and breeding develop im
proved types of agricultural staples,
and in this connection your reporter
so far departs from his usual course
as to individualize the display which
yesterday struck bis fancy as some
thing entirely unique at this exposi
tion, and expressive of the results of
a century’s labor and experience in
one direction.
David Landretb & Sons are the
only seedsmen who have favored our
southern exposition with their sup
port aud right handsomely have they
done it. Considering that ours is en
tirely an agricultural coomrannity it
seems singular that others in their
line should not have recognized the
opportunity. Landreth’a exhibit oc
cupies the greater pan of the horti
cultural building, which was erected
especially to accommodate them, and
it is without question tbe most com
plete and costly exhibit of seeds ever
made in this country—a valuable en
dorsement of the exposition and rec
ognition of our agricultural future.
The space occupied is 38 feet by 22
feet 11 inches, and npon this is erect
ed the roost artistic and complete set
of cases and tables in tbe entire ex
position. The back of tho space sups
ports a partition or wall in gothic
style to which is affixed permanent
tables. Ou the tables are a long list
of objects too numerous to mention,
the most striking being an array ot
casts of vegetables done in plaster
and colored true to nature—represen
tations so accurate m size, form and
color, as to deceive even on close in
spection those best acquainted with
vegetable life. In advance of the
tables are three upright cases trian-
gular-at each end ot tbe space flank
ing an immense centerpiece of rare
beautv—octagonal in form,construct-
The Russian government, accord

medium of intercommunication

the publication of works of merit by

Tki Mississippi Tragedy.
Aberdeen, Miss., Nov. 29.—The
three men who were murdered near
here last Satuiday night were travel
ing from Riisaell county, Ala., to SL
Francis county, Ark. Two of them,
named Wilburn R Walker, and
Alonzo R Walker, are lhe sons of a
highly respected citizen, J P Walker.
The third bus not yet been identified.
When they passed through here Sat
urday, four men comprised tbe party;
three of them were found in bed with
their heads split open with an ax; the
fonrlb and a male were misting. Tbe
officers at Corinth have arrested a
man there answering the description
very well ot* the fourth party. He is
now on the way. The father of the
yonng men is en route from Arkan
sas, where be bad gone to meet his
sons. Our community is greatly
shocked and all meaqs are being re
sorted to effect capture.
