Judge H. E. w. Palmer, director
general of the Cotton State’s and In

dered his resignation on account of
ill health. President C. A. Collier
will in all probability succeed Judge

exposition. Judge Palmer has been
unable to attend to f he duties of the
position for six weeks past, being
confined to his home by ill health,

resignation so that someone else
able to bear the active management
of the big exposition might be ap
pointed.— Augusta Chronicle.

Our young ladles are getting back

great success in the pursuit. Miss
Sydney Jones, daughter of Mrs
Ida Jones left Tuesday last accom

enter the Westleyan Female Col
lege at Macon. It is her first term
and may be she will be a little
homesick for awhile, but this will
pass away in the interest this stu
dious and bright young lady takes in
her studies. On the same day two
more of our more advanced veteran
students departed for Lagrange.
Misses Effie Shevvmake and Lessie

Efiie Shewmake, in music and

of seeing and hearing—has made
commendable progress and will yet
delight her friends. Burke has sent
away no brighter or more promis

For th© Judgeship.
Savannah Press, September 15th.
Hon. E. H. Callaway, of Waynes-
ooro, will be a candidate at the next
session of the legislature for the
superior court judgeship of the Au
gusta circuit. He is a lawyer of fine
attainments and extensive practice
and his professional career has been
distinguished alike for ability, in
tegrity, courtesy, and fairness. His
candidacy, though actuated by a
laudable ambition, is largely the re
sult of pressing and urgent solicita
tion upon the part of many lawyers
of the Augusta circuit engaged in
the actual practice, who from per
sonal contact and acquaintance be
lieve that liis legal ability, business
tact, and other essential qualifica
tions, peculiarly fit him for the of
fice to which he aspires. These con
siderations will enable him 10 dis
charge tlie important duties of the
bench with satisfaction to the bar
and the public at large. The busi
ness interests of lawyer, client, and
the general public are closely identi
fied, and a careful selection of the
judiciary is of supreme importance
to all. Mr. Callaway is^in every
way worthy and well qualified.

Naughtin’s court yesterday about
noon, aud held on a charge of rob
bing the house of C. Parker, at Mil

He had a pistol on his person, which
he said belonged to a friend who

Rev. Mr. Milton then preached the
dedication sermon from 3d chapter
1st Timmolhy, 15th verse. The
house was packed and a large crowd
had So remain on the out side. Af
ter the sermon Rev. Mr. Milton an
nounced a debt of $8000 still due
on the building and would have to
be raised before he could dedicate
it. The amount was raised and ex
tended to $100 00. The house was
presented for dedication by R. T.
Atkinson, chairman of the building
committee in a nice little speech.
The dedication prayer was offered
by Rev. W. I. Del nil. The exercises
were well earned out and they
have a nice house of worship. The
