G. RILEY. Preaching Sunday- Night. Rev W D McGregor will prech at tbe Methodist church Sunday evening at 7 o’olook. He will leave Monday morning following for conference. The First Tuesday. There were crowds of peoplo in town Tuesday. A larger number ha* not been seen ou our streets in a loDg time. But litlle property was sold nod the bidding on this was not spirited. Evidently tbe many folks did not come to buy lard. Mr Sum Hunt, the county tax collector, occupied a corner in the grand jury room in the court bouse and judging from the crowd around him all day he was the at¬ traction. John Barleycorn got in seme heavy licks and more people left town drunk than wo have before Reen in a iong time. They Want Him Back. The following resolutions explain them¬ selves and we publish them with pleasure as showing the high esteem in which his churches hold Brother McGregor. Whereas, the conference year is draw¬ ing to a close, and as this is the last ap¬ pointment Rev W D McGregor, our pas¬ tor, will fill for ua we cannot part with him vithont an expression of our estima¬ tion of his services ns preacher in charge of the Himilton circuit. Therefore be solved 1 st, By the churches at Mt Zion and Prospect that in Bro. MoGregor we have had for two years a zealous in the cause of the Master, uutir ing m labors, abounding in good end fearless in the discharge of any which he believed would promote tbe best interest of the church, and that charge under his ministration has and developed spiritually; and we nestly hope he will be returned to ue and enlarge the work so begun. d, That this preamble Resolved 2 und resolutions be spread upon the of the church conference, and that Secretary furnish Bro. McGregor with a copy of same. B. H. Robertson, Dec. 4. 1887. Secretary, aoSe?of , reduc'd' on boote rv , W uH your lessened income b • > Local and Personal. We are having typical Xmas weather. Mr. Rafe Kimbrough, ot Talbotton,was in the city Wednesday. Mrs J B Mobley spent two days in Co¬ lumbus this week with relatives. Hou W A Little, Speaker of the House of Representatives, was in town Monday. The burglars made a water haul last night. It was a typical night for such a haul. C.ipt T E Blanchard, of Blanchard, Humber & Co., Columbus, was in town Monday. Mr and Mrs Wru Gr*-e , of Eiler.-lie, spent Monday m town, tbo guests of Mrs Jane Ely. Mr N S Solomon, of tbe fiim of S T Coleman & Co , Macon, was in the city Ibis week. Misses Daisy and Sophie Wright, two charming young Misses of Atlanta, are visiting Mrs. J. L. Dennis. Miss Emmie Sparks is on a visit to her sister in M <rvyn, Ah*, She expects to remain there several weeks. Miss Maggie Cook, after a visit of sev eral weeks to her brother’s family, re turned to Columbus Wednesday. If young men could be persuaded to let whiskey alone how much less of heart¬ ache and miseiy there would be in this world. Mrs M Wolfson left for her home in Columbus Tuesday morning. Mr Wolfs son has business that will detain him here a few weeks longer. Miss Bettie Crowder, of Meriwether county, and Miss Tennie King, of Co¬ lumbus, were the quests of Mrs. B. C. Kimbrough this week. Judging from the number of drunken men on our streets recently money mat¬ ters are easier than usual—that is unless the stuff is sold on time. Rev W A Farley and wife are now fully intailed at the hotel and the traveling public as well as the regular boarders find ample provision made for their.wants. Already the little tolks are to the old folks what they would Santa Claus to bring them and the old folks are beginning to arrange forturkies and the like Miss B Combs Wood charmed a small but select audience by her superior elo¬ cutionary powers in the college on Satur¬ day night' She would have had a better audience on any other evening in the week, and it is a matter of regret that she could not be persuaded to remain over and give another exhibition Mon¬ day night. It is generally understood that the la¬ dies will have a public dinner and oyster supper or something on that order daring the coming holidays. They hope to se¬ cure the aid ot tbe entire community and that of all sympathizing outside of the corporate limits in laudable effort to raise funds to the Methodist church. For the first time m a long while peace and quiet of our town was disturb¬ ed Saturday night by drunken men. may have been their first offense of kind, and we admonish them in ail kind ness to let it be the last. If they wan tba re 8 P 8ct “ d c0D,idence of ali good people they can soo^win it by a and gentlemanly deportment JURORS FOR APRIL COURT.

Last night about half past eleven o’clook an attempt was made !o open the iron safe in the office of Hudson & Johnston,adjoin ing their ootton warehouse. The attempt was evidently made by professional bur¬ glars. One of the hinges of the safe door was blown off and a bole was drilled in the upper part of the safe, but for some cause the blast was not made. Several parties were on the street and giving the alarm the burglars made good their es¬ cape, leaving an axe and a pick behind. The night was pitchy dark and rain was falling so that pursuit was impossible. It is hoped that they may yet be captured. . Consumption Surely Cured.
