Henderson. The M. P. Conference (Georgia District.) commenced its annual session at Cedar Grove, DeKalb county, yesterday, and will continue four days. Mr J. B. McDaniel is tbe delegate from this church. A pleasant session is anticipated. If Revs. W. F. Smith and F. H. M. nate. Few towns have been blessed with an abler ministerial force than Hampton has had the present year, aud it is to be hoped they will be returned. It becomes O' r painful duty to chronicle the death of Mrs Thos. II Stallworth, of Satdy Ridge, which occurred on the 19:h inst., after a brief illness. She was a lady of many excellent, trails of character, and was greatly beloved by all who knew her. We extend to the family our siucerc condo lence. Thb young people of Pan-handle District met at the residence of Mr. H. M. Moore on Tuesday evening Jast and beguiled the hours most happily in social enjoyment, aided in large measure by the dulcet notes of a tuneful fiddle, to which the gay pleasure stekers kept time in the best style known to the art. Mr. L. H. Moore killed a water-fowl on 'l'uruipseed’j fish-pond last Saturday that is believed to be a real swan by those who examined it. Its plumage was perfectly white, with black beak and feet, and coires ponded exact'y vvjih descriptions of that rare bird found in standard ornithological works. It measured G leet and S inches from point to point of its wings, and 4 feet 3 inches from tip to tail. It weighed 14 pounds At the regular monthly meeting of Pine Grove Lodge, F A. M , held on Saturday last, the following officers were elected to serve during tlie ensuing term : Dr .T. r. Taw recce, P M., W. M. A V MeVieker, S W. W. W. Turnipseed. J. W. D. H. Ponder. 'I reusurer. R A . Henderson. Secretary. T. M. Hamilton, H. D. B. B B.rfield. J D. 'l’hos McMahon, Tyler. The following, directed to one of onr merchants, is a specim. n of November col lections : “sir : yon will have to take the wagon back for i cannot pay you enny this faul. we have had a free-* and it has kill 3 bales of cotton for me. i have got the rent to pay aid i cannot pay nl this fan! unless my cot ton dus open, if yon sue you jest have to sue i cant help it. if vou doant beleve what i say you can come and see for yourself i have lost my hoss in the last days of Gune before i finish my crap or i have made more ” Messrs. Ben Barfield Jr., and Billy Curry, of Sunny Side, rode into town last Saturday night and hitched their horses in the rear of Middleton’s furniture store wnile they attended to some business down town. V, hen they went to get their hors- s to go home, both saddles were missing, having been taken by some one while they were absent dowD thp street. If stolcn.it is to be hoped tbe thief will be apprehended ; if intended as a practical joke, it is of entirely too practical a nutuie to be appreci ated, and the saddles should be restored to their own ers. Both are clever gentlemen, and there is no reason why they should be made vic tims of sucb a serious practical joke. Personal.—Miss Zdlah Smith is visiting relatives in Forsyth. Miss Mamie Wood left this week for Dawson, from which point she will proceed in a few days to Florida, to spend tbe winter.

Lemon, of McDonough, is visiting in the city, the guest of her daugh ter, Mrs Crawford. Miss Claude McDonald, of McDonough, is in the city. The Last Sermon. — A large congrega tion assembled at the Methodist Church in Sunday morning to listen to the last sermon of the conference year. The sermon was a very able and a very touching one. After a lucid and eloqneul discussion of his text, Dr. Kendall reviewed his labors of the year and the grand success of his church, to which, let us add, be so largely contributed. At the close he spoke feelingly of the hap piness of tbe year’s labors; of the kindness which bound his family had received at the bands of the church and the people of Griffin. During his talk the speaker was visibly affected and his congregation were deeply moved, a large portion of it being in tears. It s very easy to see that the Methodists (and we believe the same can be said of other churches) have been wonder fully blessed duriug the past year. The bond of sympathy and affection that exists between pastor and people is rare. Dr. Kendall has done a mighty work in the community, and we believe his continued ministration would result eveu in a bioader and grander success We certainly trust tbe Conference, in its wisdom, will see fit to return him to the Griffin charge.— Gujjin Metes. * Georgia's Prosperity.—Georgia real izes s3'>o,ooo from the rent of the Western and Atlantic railroad aod $50,000 from He Macon and Brunswick railroad, $30,000 from the inspection of fertilisers, $20,000 from tbe lease of convict*, $14,000 from tax on railroads ami >20.000 inrmiajJM—— about ?869 000 The total income of the state is about $1,300000 She is called the Empire State of the South.

There lives in the republic of Salvador ; at present a venerable gentleman named Miguel Solis, who is one hundred and eighty years of age. There is no doubt at all about it.

It will he apparent to anv one, who will examine a Solid G ild Watch, (but aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, a large proportion of *he precious metal used, is needed only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and supply the necessary solidity and strength. 'The surplus gold is actually needless so far as utility and beautv are concerned In james boss’ patent gold WATCH CASKS, this waste of precious j metal is overcome, and the same solidity and strength produced at from one-third to one hail of the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most simple nature, as fol lows : a plate of nickle composition metal, especially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of solid gold soldered one on each side. 'The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, b> z“ls, etc , are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without retrieving the gold. THIS IS THE ONLY CASK MADE WI TH TWO PLA TES OF SOLID GOLD AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE. For sale by all Jewelers. Ask for Illus trated Catalogue, and to see warrant.
