McClin tock, resigned. +4 ►* The South Georgia Anual Conference of the M. E. church South meets in Americas on next Wednesday the 11th. inst. Americus will no doubt entertain this body in a royal style. It is believed that Tom Wool folk, who is confined in Bibb county jail for the murder of the Woolfolk family, is going crazy. He imagines he hears female voices calling for help, and says lie sees strange figures moving about the jail. Several Georgia papers stated last week that Mrs. Bishop Key was dying We learn from the Macon Evening News that this is a mistake. The Bishop's son in-law h is recieved a letter from him, stating that she is much better and that it is their intention to leave Cuthbert for their home in Texas at once, traveling leisurely, Deputy Sheriff Troy Holder of Stew art county has developed into a firstclass detective. He has run down and brought to justice two murderers this year that would have been good work for some of the profesionals; viz. the murderers of conductor Whigham and Mr. Robt. E. Rogers. Would that we had more Troy Holders in Georgia. Rev. J. B. McGeehee, P. E. of the Co lumbus District, paid Ellaville a visit last Friday night. He is one of tip preachers who never get through with their,work. He will close his work on next Monday night in Columbus and on Tuesday morning will go to Conference at Americus. He is getting to he an old man now, but will put to shame most of our young men when it, comes to down right hard work. He is our candidate for Presiding Elder of this District for 1890. They are certainly getting crowded, out West, The trouble between the preachers and people in Georgia is that the people can’t g >t the preacher at their houses as often as they want him. 'The following is from the Atlanta Jour nal;—The Bishop of North Dakota is having a car built in which to make his episcopal visitations. Spare beds and ac commodations for strangers are so scarce in his district that he finds it necessary thus to imitate the actors and find him self in bed and shelter. The ear will he utilized as a chapel also for religious ser * ices. Editing a paper by a greenhorn is a big job. That is the trouble with the News this week. The editor is gone and it is in the hands of a verdant sub, who has one time thought it would he an t mattei to run a newspaper, hut who, after trying it. finds out that edit ing a newspaper is some work, too.

('HAS. MILLER LAYS A TRAP FOR A PROM INENT AMERICAS BANKER. In the city today is Mr. John Windsor, cashier of the People's National Bank, of Americas and Mr. E. S. Hawkins, a prominent lawyer of the same city. Their business in Macon is the out come of the carefully laid plans of a de tective to entrap the former gentleman into posing as a full fledged counter feiter. It seems that some time last week a suspicious ten dollar bill was discovered by Cashier Windsor among the hank's money. Having doubts of its genuine ness. lie put it aside, intending to refer it to the hank examiner upon his next visit. A few days later he was showing the bill to an official of one of the other hanks, hut said it was not his, as tie had it locked in the vault. Upon counting the cash at night, however, he found he was mistaken and immediately went to the bank holding the bill and redeemed it. He was not then certain as to the identity, but to save annoyance, and knowing that his had oeen paid out, he thought best to take it up. * On last Thursday there appeared in t'ne city a gentlemanly looking stranger purporting to he a tourist, and having formed the acquaintance of Mr. Dudley, president of the Bank of Southwestern Georgia, he let drop the fact that lie had a hobby for collecting counterfeit hills, and asked if the bank had any on hand. The bank had not, hut referred him and introduced him to Mr. Windsor, from whom he was informed lie could get one. The tourist wished to know what Mr. Windsor would take for the bill, but at first was refused the purchase of it. He filially agreed to pay $5 for it, and ac cordingly the bill was sold him. Mr. Windsor saying that lie was not sure that the money was counterfeit. Mr. Windsor was then a member of the grand jury and the detective, as lr- now proved, sought to have Judge Fort re lease him so that lie could he arrested. This was refused and he immediately came to Macon, had a warrant sworn out charging the gentleman with counter feiting. Mr. Windsor, however, came on to Macon of his own accord on Tues day, but the government wanted more witnesses, so the case was put off until today. Mr. Windsor engaged Hon. Dupont Guerry to assist Mr. Hawkins, and to gather they are before Commission* r Er win today trying to have the case dis missed. The News representative talked with all <>f the above parties, and there can be no doubt as to it being an unintentional violation of the law.—Macon Evening News. INCREASING THE FAMILY LTST. F. B. Nofsinger lias been appointed postmaster at Kansas City, Mo. upon the recommendation of Scott Harrison, a Democrat of Kansas City and a brother of President Harrison. The entire re publican State committee, togethar with hundreds of other Republicans, had urg ed the appointment ot Erwin S. Jewett. Nofsingers appointment has raised a storm of indignation among the Repub licans of Western Missouri. A Kansas City Republican says of the appoint ment: “’We are having too much of a family on our hands. JUe are under the heels of Scott Harrison ’ brother. Russell Harrison’s father and Baby McKee’s grand father. The milk and cream in this cccoanut is that Scott Harrison’s son, Benjamin Harrison’s nephew, Russell Harrison’s cousin and Buhv McKee’s second cousin will he as sistant postmaster at Kansas City.” THE CONFEDERATE CONGRESS.
