Agreeably to a no'ice published in
The ( itizen last week the Church
Fes ival came off on Wednesday even
ing, at the residence of Judge J. B.
Jones, in this county, and was a grand
success in the full sense of the term.—
We were kindly invited by the ladies
to be present, we considered it a duty
as well as a pleasure to attend; and
in obedience to the behest of such
fair but powerful authority, we boarded
the 11 o’clock train on Wednesday
morning, and ro led off towards the
point of destination, where we arrived
safely on the schedule time of the C. R.
R.
Arriving at Herndon, we »ook a few
moments to look areund the p'ace, and
then walked out to Judge Jones’who
resides about one mille from the depot.
We found Judge Jones absent attend
ing the gubernatorial convention, in
Atlanta, as a delegate from this county.
The ladies were as busy as only ladies
can be on occasions which they deem
important, fllitting here, there and ev
erywhere, with cheeks glowing with
health and hope for the success of their
chairitable enterprise, and with deft
fingers putting the finishing touches to
the already elaborate decorations and
preperatious We were informed of
the situation of affairs, (which we had
however taken in at a glance)' and invi
ted to “make ourself at home,” which
invitation we soon found was given m a
spirit of cordial earnestness, and not as
a piece of conventional politeness. And
so, picking up a book, and finding in
terest in the beautiful and apt surroud-
ings of Judge Jones’ magnificent resi
dence, we pleasantly whiled away the
sunny hours uniil—
* The lengthening shadows o’er the mead
Proclaimed the close of day,”
and the ladies having completed their
task of preparation, frund time to give
us the pleasure and entertainment of
their company.
The day was all that could have
been asked. Providence, as if smiling
upon the charitob’e purposes of the fair
Indies of Herndon, touched the sky
with * deeper blue and gave to the
sunshine a brighter glow, jrhile- -
*‘Th« soft-winded Zephyrs, oppressed with
perfume.
Waxed faint o’er the cordons of Gull in her
bloom,” .
and as the evening approached, the
stars came out with a merry twinkle as
if all Nature w>is pleased with the good
works of her f »ir children.
Before the oonipany began to arrive,
we were invited and escorted by Miss
Hattie Jones on a tour of inspection of
the rooms prepared for the oooasion.—
The rooms wore prettily draped with
evergreens, everything being appropri
ate in its appointments and direoted by
an exquisite and cultivated tase. It
remaiued, however, for the sa'ea-room
to surpass all the others iu the beauty
of its ornamentation, as on entering it
we found it ablaze with beautiful flow
ers—in pyramids, in festoons and in
drapery, their blight colors anctglelicate
odors combining carried one’s mind
away to some fairy story of the East
did not envy then—*we could not be
grudge them their happin es-yet we
could n >t suppress the wish that we
“were a boy again.”
E' tering the supper room. which was
presided over by Mrs. 11. \V. Jones,
assisted by Mrs. J. H. Jones, Mrs C.
B. Ash, of Savannah, Mrs. Robert Law
and Mrs. William Bullard, we found
the tables literally loaded, yiands suffi
cient to tempt an anchorite to abandon
his solitude aud homely fare, and min
gle once more with the gay world and
taste the good things which God has
oreated for man's enjoyment.. It is su
perfluous to say that the supper-
room, the door to which was held iti
charge )>y Mr. Robert Law, was well
patronized, and while much of the got d
things disappeared before the steady
attack, there was plenty and to spare.
Waynesboro ‘was represented bv
Col. I*. P. Johnston. Prof. Charles J.
Wa 'aoe and Judge John Barnes, and
fir m the near country by Messrs Ira
Stewart and Mfra. McOathern. The
company are idebted to Prof. Wallace
and several ladifes for the music of the
evening, drawn from the piano and vio
lin. The professor, catching the en
thusiasm of the occasion, excelled him
self in drawing sweet tones' from the
instruments. He will go again. Col.
Johnston and Judge Barnes were
petted, if not spoiled, by the young
ladies, and in our opinion a few more
visits to Herndon may cause them to
break their vows of ce>abaoy-
The ladies give Mrs. Fallagant their
unbounded thanks for her aid both in
the direction and execution of their gen
erous project, and to friends in Savan
nah and Augusta for liberal donations.
The proceeds were $125, $100 of
which were net profits, and will go to
gladden the hearts of the minister and
his family fur whose benefit the enter
tainment was given.
The whole affair was indeed a most
enjoyatte one, and it will be long be
fore anyone who woe present will forget
it. As to ourself, we return thanks to
the youg ladies of Judge Jones’ family,
and to the ladies general'y for their kind
courtesies to us, a stranger—and to
everybody whom we met for friendly
greetings.

Af er a rather stormy session of two
days it became apparent to the conven
tion that no nomination could be made
as matters then stood, and on Wednes
day morning, after considerable discus
sion, a conference of the oppsing factions
was agreed to. 1 he conference was
composed of six Bacon, six Boynton,
four McDaniel and two Cook delegates.
After an all day’s session the conference
at 6 o’clock, p. m., reported the name
of Hon. Henry D. McDaniel, of Wal
ton, as the man upon whom they had
compromised. The report of the com
mittee was reeo'ved, and McDaniel was
nominated by acclamation with only
one dissenting voice, the owner of which
in our opinion should have been in the
asylum, rather than in the convention.
While McDaniel was not our oboice,
we most cheerfully acquiesoe in the
action of the convention, and shall give
the Democratic standard bearer our
hearty support, believing him to be an
honest and an able man. Aud while M> j.
B.tcou has f iled of the nomination, he
and his friends in the oonveotion are
entitled to the gratitude of the Demo
crats of Georgia for disrupting the At
lanta ring, from which all dissections
have originated, and the restoration of
harmony throughout the party.
