Cheney who w^s called to the Baptist church at Carrollton, left with his family for that place Tuesday morning. He and hisfami ly are a valuable acquisition to any community, and we heartily com mend them to the people of his new charge. Mr. F. J. Kimbrough of Cataula, the worthy son of our most worthy Master of the State Grange, left Monday to enter the commercial school at Poughkeepsie, New-York. time He will slop for a short en ! ol,te and take in the sights of A ash j f ington city. A negro cabing belonging to Mr. Janies Lovelace, near this place, was burned 1 uesday night. It was a good frame cabin, occupied by Orange Granberry, who had just out the day it was consumed. j t seems to be a mystery how it oaU ght on fire. 1 p ro ro. ' H H. A A. Haves Hayes has nas recovered recovered from his recent illness, and will be rea( ty to resume the exercises at the "endance MnhHnv morning The at the last term was good, but there is room for many more, and we hope there will be an increase in numbers the present term. The ladies desire to return thanks through the Journal to Rev. W. A. Farley and wife, for the use of the hotel on Christmas day, and also to the public for their liberal patronage. The public dinner and supper netted the sum of $42.35, which will be used for the purpose previously specified j in the Journal. Rev. C. D. Adams, who was pointed to the charge of the Hamil ton circuit, preached his first sermon here Sunday. He was greeted by a full congregation, and held their res pectful attention to the close of the discourse. His sermon was well re ceived and made a good impression upon his congregation. Mr. Henry B. Harris one of the most prominent citizens of Harris county, died at his home at VVaverly Hall on last Sunday. He was a member of the Baptist church and a consistent Christian whose loss will be deeply felt in the community. He left nine children nearly all of whom have reached years of maturity. Many perhaps who were interested in the financial success of the public dinner and supper at the hotel, were prevented from being present. If there are any such who still desire the privilege of assisting in the work of repairing the Methodist church, they can hand their contributions to Mrs. Dr. T. J. Brooks who will re¬ port the same. Add to that chnrch fund, and you will be happier. For all disease and deformities of die eye, tar, nose or throat, consult Dr. O. J. Short, Specialist, Columbus, Ga.— Office 1140^ Broad St. tf. Married at the brides mother, near West Point, by Rev. J. M. Callaway, on December the 20th, Miss Ida C. Lancaster and Mr. O. E. Lancaster of Putman county. The happy coup¬ le left on the train the following day for the home of the groom bearing the best wishes of a host of friends. Before leaving for his new appoint¬ ment, Rev. VV. D. McGregor gave one dollar to be divided up into nickles and distributed among Sun¬ day school scholars. Rev. C. D. Adams added to this sum, and each scholar who received it, has fifteen cents as a basis upon which to trade. They are expected to invest, and trade upon this amount, and at the close of the year return it with all they have made upon the investment, the same to be applied for missions. We hope that each scholar who has received the one talent may work diligently tb increase it, and bring up ten at the close of the year. The Journal had a pleasant call from Mr. Pat Weldon a few days ago. He is a successful stock grower and has a smokehouse full of home made meat. He says that he boils corn in water with strong ashes and pine tops and feeds his hogs on it for week or ten days in the spring fall as a cholera prevetative. He has never had a case of cholera in his sw i ne since he began ° the practice several years ago. (( t 1 was opposed ormosed to die stock law” he remarked, “but IJike it now, as my stock have done better since I had to attend to them, and I never had so many cows ni y hfe before, Mrs. Mrs. J. T.

The Baptist church was a scene beauty Q n Thursday evening ot last wee | c Busy hands were employed aU da y j n decorating the church, and bang j ng presents on the beautiful ^ ree p| ace d m position in front of the r hancel These various gifts were both use¬ ful and ornamental, and were fit to¬ kens of love and friendship. The organist Mrs. Jno. Hudson assisted by the choir, opened the ex¬ ercises of the evening with a song. Mr. B. H. Walton then stepped to the front and made a brief but appro priate address, after which the work of unburdening the tree of its abund¬ ance of procious gitts tegan. Very few present were forgotten in the distribution, and the absent pastor, Rev. VV. W. Arnold and his family came in for a large share of useful articles, which were shipped to him the following day. notable Among the most presents were mysterious packages wrapped in multitudinous folds of paper, which were received by our hand some gallants of uncertain age, and which were probably opened in secret. When the heavily laden tree was divested of* all its omamcets, Mr. Walton, in behalf of the Sunday School, presented Mrs. Jno. Hudson with a lovely berry bowl, as a token of appreciation of her faithful services as organist during the past year. This closed the exercises of a most pleasant evening ana the au¬ dience dispersed bearing their vari¬ ous treasures.

It dawned as fair and lovely as a dream, and “peace on earth, good will t:> men,” seemed to pervade the pure atmosphere like a benediction from the Almighty. It was heralded by the usual noisy demonstrations of joy, but was not marred by street brawls, or accident of ifty kind. The gath ering at the hotel to partake of the elegant dinner prepared by the ladies was like a pleasant family reunion The guests wer^ united in one com mon purpose, and the satisfaction of contributing to a noble cause, lent cheerfulness to every countenance, and a feeling of good will to every heart. In no better way could the day have been spent and we venture to assert that all who contributed have been more than repaid for every cent it cost them. Virtue is its own reward.
