Miss Cornelia Floyd has accepted a school at Mount Pleasant, Troup county, and is teaching it with much success. The community is to be congratulated that secures her services. The South Georgia Conference. Tbe South Georgia conference is in session at Sandersville this week, Bishop M Tyeire presiding. The appointments will appear in tne Georgia dailies early next week and the suspense of theohurch en will be over. The pastor appointed to tbe Hamilton circuit may not be equally acceptable to all the members of the va¬ rious ehurcbovS, but each should resolve to receive him in a Christian spirit as God’s chosen messenger to us. The man¬ tle of Christiau love should be large enough to enfold him, whoever be may be. Robbery at Midlaud. One of tbe boldest robberies of recent date was perpetrated Wednesday night at Midland, a station ou tbe Georgia Mid¬ land, five or six miles from Columbus. Two men were sleeping in tbe rooms back of the store, and after securing the door to prevent their exit the robbers blew open the iron safe and carried off all the money, with other articles of val uo they found in the store. It is probable they are the same thieves who attempted to blow open the iron safe at Hudson & Johnston’s warehouse last Thursday night. Christ’* Natal Ray. Christmas is near at hand. It is de* signed to celebrate this day as tbe great¬ est event in the world’s history, bat some persons have peculiar ideas about tbe manner in which Christ’s natal day should be celebrated. They think that to make tbe day joyous they mnst pour liquid fire down their throats that steals away their brains. Physical suffering and remorse foHow while nothing is gained. We hope the men of Harris county will take a mental pledge not to tonoh intoxi¬ cating drinks dnring the holidays, and then they will begin the sew year with clear heads and good oonscienoes. Local and Personal. Mr B C Kimbrough spent Wednesday in Columbus., Mr M Orr, of Atlanta, stopped over at tbe hotel Sunday. Mr Jno W Cox, of Atlanta, was a guest at the hotel yesterday. Rev VV A Farley and daughter visited Columbus yesterday. Mr L Meyer, of Columbus, was regie tered at the hotel Monday. Mr O G Johnson, of Columbus, spent two or three days here this we«k. Home social amusements are talked of to enliven tbe approaching holidays. Mrs Hnnley went to West Point Mon¬ day to visit her daughter, Mrs Lovelace. There will be preaching at ‘he Baptist church to-morrow and Sunday by the pastor. Mr T D McEnry, of New Orleans, was on the streets Saturday trying to sell bur glar proof safes. Messrs B F McLaughlin, F J Williams and T A A'kinson, of Greenville, were in town last Friday. Mr and Mrs C H Cook went down to # Columbus yesterday to spend a day or two with relatives in that city. The rains of the past week have been very beneficial to small grain. The oat patches around town are growing finely. Columbus Euquirer: Miss Mattie Had¬ ley, a charming young lady of Blue Springs, Ga., is visiting friends in the city. Mr R M Kirven, of the popular firm of J Albert Kirven & Co., Columbus, was in the city two or three days this week. He returned yesterday afternoon. Mr J A Kimbrough,of Centre Hill,Fla,, who has been attending school here for two years, and Willie Lasseter, of Blake¬ ly, left for their homes last Friday. Two 01 three houses around town will soon be left vacant by removals, but if are to be cred ted other families will soon move in aud occupy them. The smaller children are counting the days that intervene between this and old Hants Clans’ visit, and tbe older ones are looking forward to it as some joyous event in tbe near future. The excitement caused by the visit of tbe burglars has shout subsided, but our citizens are more on the alert, and ip. fu¬ ture these ‘‘knights of the road’’ will find them prepared to defend their property. Mr W H West will shortly move to Co Iambus. His property interest is nearly all in Harris county, but he has a home in Wynnton and considers it his interest to move there. He is one of the best and most substantial men in tbe commu¬ nity and his removal is a cause of univer¬ sal regret. He leaves many warm friends here who will ever be ready to welcome his return. C. J. Edge, the leading boot and shoe dealer of Columbus has reduced prices on boots and shoes to meet your lessened income by short crops. Their Business Booming:.

Just now the place to buy Christmas presents is the thought uppermost in the minds of tbe average citizen. W ell, one of the very best places is the crockery store of I L Pollard & Go.
