OVB NEW MINISTERS.
Columbus Exebauces Bar Two for tbe
Motbodlst Ministers Here.
The regular annual session of the
South Georgia conference of the M.
church for 1861 is over, tbe appointments
have all bsen made and the preaohers
have returned to their homes; some
say good-bye and some to receive the
congratulations of their friends that they
will remain at least for another year.
No where, perhaps, Is there more Inter
est felt in the appointments each year
than here In Columbus, not only among
the Methodist, but among tbe people
other denominations. This year Colum
bus has exchanged two of her preachers
for two of Americus' preachers. Rev.
A. M. Williams will go to the First
Methodist ohuroh at Amerious and Rev.
C. W. Snow to tbe Second dliurch, while

will come to SL Duke and Rev. Robert
F. Williamson of the second ohuroh will

Rev. J. B. Johnston, who will be pas
tor of St. Luke, was reared near Griffin,
and spent the first years o( his ministe
rial life in the North Georgia conference,
serving at Deoatur, Griffin and Barnes-
ville, and when transferred to tbe South
Georgia conference, one year ago was
sent to Amerious.
Mr. Johnston is about S3 years old,
and besides being a strong earnest
preacher, is a most affable and cultured
gentleman. His family, consisting of
himself, wife and four children will be
valuable acquisition to the citizenship of
Columbus, and on their arrival will re
ceive a hearty welcome.
Broad street church’s pastor for the
coming year will be one of the veterans
of the conference, Rev. Robert F. Wil
liamson. He is about 53 years of age

General Rob Ely. '
There passed through Macon a night
or two since one around whom there
lingers some publio Interest. I refer to
ex-Attorney General Bob Ely. He has
been In the lunatic asylum for several
months, and was en route home to Al
bany. Msj. Ely seems to be a sound
man again, physically and ipehtally. He
was at one time one of the leading law-
yen of Albany circuit, and enjoyed •
lucrative practice. He also held the
high office of attorney- general of Geor
gia. Hla financial downfall and mental
derangement resulted from a series of
misfortunes and bis condition at the
time his friends took steps to have him
committed to the asylum, was doe to
such adversities ns are liable to come
upon the strongest and best of men.
His many friends hope bis reoovery is
permanent. Major Ely has a large circle
of friends and acquaintances in Useon.
