Head Heads.—Pike County News:
The Key. Sam Jones, who fa well known
So the people of Barnesville, remarked on
aa* occasion that “two-thirds ot tbe mem
bers of my church are honorary members.
They don’t come to class meetings, they
don’t come to prayer meetings, they don’t
attend the Sunday-schools, they
don’t add to the life of the church, they
are passengers on the gospel ship, they
bear no burdens, add no strength, their
Mac; are on our books, but they are nev-
*r with us in church, and I am fear
ful they will not be with us in that better
land.”
Eaindrtdge Democrat : Close on
oand, people of Decatur, is the time for
hoidiug your third annual fair., Only six
days, and you go on the record once more
as an enterprising, energetic and thrifty
popple, proud of your county, its soil and
productions, or you arc to appear in the
public- eye as indifferent to your interests,
and 1 '.eking that proper pride so essential
Ae the moral support of any section.
Stnurgem judge a county by the character
at its inhabitants. If they arc full of
real for tbe general welfare; if they
show a disposition to make the very best
of their surroundings, and speak well of
••heir home—strangers, as the saying^ fa,
will “take to” that country at once. When
people go olT in search of new homes,
they naturally want to better themselves.
And what more desirable clime fa offered
to the immigrant than our own ? But we
must remember that all tbe good climates
and lands are not confined to Decatur
ounty. There fa an empire ot tbe same
moor Southern country. Therefore we
should strive to bring our county promi
nently before the public on all occasions.
Tufa, In a great measure, we can do by
*vr fairs. If our coming fair is a notable
success, it will be worth thousands in-
ui.ectly as well as directly to our county.
Gillffix News: According to newspa
per accounts, the pickpockets have had a
rich harvest in Atlanta this week. A large
squad of thieves made a descent upon the
good people ot Georeia, who thronged the
streets or tho Gate City, attracted rhither
by the North Georgia fa'r, and the mili
tary, and levied upon them a heavy as
sessment. Hundreds of cases of robbery
have been reported, aud probably as many
more unreported. The amounts taken
from each individual ranged between fifty
and three hundred dollars, and in many
cases including valuable cbronomerrical
jewelry'. Scores of men were relieved of
gold watches and chains, upon which high
values were placed. Looking over the
tong list of robberies, it would seem that
sax pccplo are remarkably flush. Of
the thousands who are visiting Atlanta
this week, most seem to be weighted down
«itl> wads of greenbacks. One good evi
dence that tbe country is prosperous fa th »
fed that everybody has money. One
gentleman from this county, who carried
ap with him severe’ hundred dollars, was
relieved of it by ono. of these nimble
thieves. There is only one feature about
these wholesale robberies that gives us
pa.n, and that fa the conspicuous absence
otany newspaper men among the victims,
which would seem to show, not their
jcaicity, for Atlanta is full of them, but
tueir poverty—that wlrle thousands have
their pockets picked, no editor is reported
a> have lost a nickel' Brethren, why is
•hfa ? In these loag years of toil have we
jAthered In no shekels ?

Augusta Mirror: Now that all good
securities are so far retired from the
market as to make it hard to net a sis per
cent, investment, a great many of our
capitalists are investing in iarming lands,
Some of these lands are held for a rise,
many of which have already profited
handsomely. Others are managed by the
buyers, while most of them are rented to
tenants for a portion of the crop. One
gentleman, who fa canstantlv increasing

Atlanta Post: A Mrs. Dexter, who

When she hoarded the Central train
through some misunderstanding she failed
to check her trunks; and her boy, who fa
probably twelve years old, was left. The

tbe carshed in a patriotic yray. The. moth

kind gentleman who, being acquainted
with tbe boy, met him in tbe carshed and
learned the status of affairs. Yesterday
tbe boy and the five trunks were forward

H 'AVOCSXS, Chrehicle: Three care of
the down through freight of the Georgia
railroad, loaded with a number of bales of
cotton, bound for Augusta, were totally
destroyed by fire a couple of miles above
Crawfordville, on that road, yesterday
morning, resulting in a total loss of fifteen
thousand dollars. As to the origin of tire
fire no one seems to know, but it is gener-
ally)supposed that it caught fire from sparks
escaping from the locomotive. The fire
must not have been discovered until it
wa3 under pretty good headway, as the
track was so damaged by the heat or fire
as to necessitate the laying of new rails
before tire down passenger train could
pass. The raifa were obtained from the
sideling at Crawfordville, and, under the
supervision of Major Wilkins, the track
was made passable as soon as possible.
The passenger train due here yesterday
morning did not arrive, however, until
during the afternoon. We understand
that the cotton was fully insured.

The Quitma i Free Press, in speaking
of the attempted suicide in Savannah, re
cently, says the Savannah News, through
a mistaken idea of kindness to the girl,
suppresses the man’s name. “We gi\;e it

Atlanta Constitution: It fa refresh
ing to find now and then an instance of
genuine Christian generosity which fa in
beautiful contrast to the narrow sectarian
spirit in the churches. Such an event oc
curred’recently in Atlanta, and dsserves
especial notice. There has been in pro
gress at Trinity church for some weeks
past a levival of rare power. Nearly one
hundred persqns have been added to the
churcb, and a large number have ’ borne
testimony to the good results of tbe meet
ing. The pastor, Rev. John W. Heidt,
has been untiring in his zeal and faithful
in every sense to hfa high calling. It
happened that tiro of the new members of
hfa church preferred to be baptized by im
mersion, and as the Methodists allow the
member to choose either style of baptism,
tbe pastor readily agreed to gratify tlieir
wishes. There fa no arrangement for im
mersion in Trinity church, and it was a
question how the right should be perform
ed. Rev. D. W. Gwfu, pastor of tho
First Baptist churcb, heard of the
state of aflairs, and going to hfa Christian
"brother of the Methodist faith, freely offer
ed him the use of his church aud pool, aud
insisted on his using them. Mr. Heidt
agreed to do So and a week ago last Sun
day night Dr. Gwin finished bis services
and announced the case to his large con
gregation. They all gladly waited until
Mr. Heidt arrived with his two candidates
for baptism. They were immersid by a
Methodist preacher in a Baptist pool and
the Baptists looked as happy over it as if
they had been converts to their own faith.
This high Christian courtesy is earnestly
recommended to those various minded
sectarians who get up ever)’ Sunday to
condemn to eternal damnation all the peo
ple in the world who do not adopt every
tenet of their particular faith. We are
glad that Atlanta has two such ministers
as Dr. Gwin and Mr. Heidt.

nouncement of the death of our highly es
teemed and well-known merchant, John
L. Villalonga, Esq., which occurred last
evening at his residence on Taylor street,
comer Bull, after au illness of a few days.
Mr. Villalonga was born at St. Augustine,

nized as a business man of tare ability,
attaining a high rank in our commercial
community, and, during several different
administrations, serred as an Alderman
of the city, holding the high position of
Chairman ot tne Finance Committee. At
the time of his death he was Vice Presi
dent and director in the Merchant’s Na
tional Bank of this city, and his counsels
had great influence in tne management of
the institution. Since the war Mr. Villa
longa bad been engaged in tiie cotton fac
torage and commission business on his
own account; and had accumulated a
handsome competence. The deceased
was regarded as among our most valued
business men, and bis loss to tbfa commu-
ty will be seriously felt. He was ofgeuial
social natnre, and was universally liked.
During the past few years his wife and
son died, and of his immediate family
only a daughi :r survives him. The an
nouncement of his death will be unexpect
ed, and will occasion general regret.
Millkdgevillk Recorder: The race
for tbe offices in the gift of tbe next
Georgia Legislature promises to be un-

wide-spread a desire to serve the people iu
the lucrative offices within the gift of their
representatives. There will be somebody
else to abuse besides Gov. Colquitt arter

Savannah News: Magistrate Molina
yesterday had a suit filed in the office of
the Clerk of the Superior Court against
Levi J. Gazan, for slander, fixing the
damages at $5,000. It appears that Mr.
Gazau made certain remarks in regard to
the administration of cases in the magis

were not retracted, hence the suit.
Griffin News : Last Saturday morn

language in lie- presence and to ber. He
was coarse, insulting, without the sliglitcst
provocation from the lady, and I take this
oppottnnity of saying that he is a disgrace
to bis house, and anything but a gentle

made a good “find,” immediately seized
upon it, whon out tumbled tbe remains
of an infant. He at once notified the
coroner, who being sick, Magistrate Wood-
heuse was deputized to hold the^-inquest.
It was impossible, owing to the decom
posed state of the remains,' to determine
whether they were those ot a white or
black infant, and as nothing was elicited
at the inquest to show from whence it
came, the jury were unable to render a
verdict other than that, in tlieir judgment,
tbe remains were those of an infant pre

Augusta Netcs: Between 10 and 11
o’clock Sunday morning, Mrs. Holliman,
of Thomson, attempted suicide by drown
ing In a well. It seems that for some
put, in consequence of ill-bealth, she has
mado threats of self-destractioD, and has
made several attempts in this direction.
At the hour mentioned Sunday she went
to au adjoining lot, whence tbe people had
all gone to church, and let herself down
with the bucket and rope. She was soon
missed and an alarm was raised. The
marshal of the city hearing a woman’s
voice proceeded to the spot and discovered
the poor woman at the bottom holding on
to the rope. With some assistance he
succeeded in drawing her up, hut she was
nearly dead with cold. It seems that af
ter taking a plunge the action of tbe wa
ter, restored her to reason, when she raised
the outcry for help. At last accounts she
was in a precarious condition.

She soon discovered that the medicine
was having an alarming effect. The fam

Interesting Contest at tbe Park.
Yesterday at the park, though the at
tendance was limited, the races appoint
ed for the occasion passed off with great
eclaf, the heats being close and shaiply
contested. The track was in splendid
condition, aud most of the horses in good
form.
The first race was for a purse of $200,
three minute class, best three in five, for
which were entered Rosa Wilkes, Scram
ble, and Minnie Rose. After several fail
ures a good start was effected. Scramble
took the lead, with Minnie Rose second,
and Rosa Wilkes third. At Hie half mile,
Minnie closed up and locked, and on tbe
home stretch all three came down in a
bunch, passing under the string wilhM:n<
nic Rose first, Scramble second, and Rosa
.Wilkes third. Time, 22581.
On the second heat Minnie took the
lead, with Scramble second and Rosa
Wilkes third. The latter took the first
place with ease at the turn, and came in a
length ahead of Minnie, with Scramble
third. Time, 2:46.
The third head was almost a counter
part of the second, with the exception that
the second place was gained by Scramble.
Time, 2:41*.
This heat brought down the record con
siderably, and the next was looked for
with interest. .
The fourth heat was called and again
all got off together. Rosa Wilkes took
the lead at the first quarter and held it
through. Time, 2:46.
A very exciting contest was witnessed
in the three quarter mile dash for three-
year-olds, for which Mosquito, Duplicate,
Beeswing, and Israella were entered. The
horses got away on the second trial, at
a tremendous pace. Beeswing and Mos
quito fought hard for the first place, and
on the home stretch showed a pretty race,
The dash was won by Beeswing; with
Mosquito second, Israella third, and Du
plicate fourth. The pjirse was $100.
The last race was a one-mile heat, all
ages running, best two in three, for a purse
of $200. The entries were, Mosquito,
Duncan F. Kenner, Annie Hayden, and
Red Fox. The race was a very closely
contested one, but Mosquito fought his
way through first in two straight heats,
beating Duncan F. Kenner by a length
only in each case. It was the opinion of
all present that Mosquito fa a little dar
ling of the first class.

hiiccesH—Close Races and Good Time
—- Two Jockeys Tumble.
Yesterday a larger Jcrowd assembled in
the park, and the smiling faces of more
ladies were seen in the grand stand when
the first race was called. Admirable order
was preserved in every portion of the
grounds by the detachment of police on
duty at the park.
FIRST RACE—GENTS’ ROADSTERS.
The first race was between gents’ road
stersfora purse of $125.00, for which
there were five entries, as follows:

county, Ga., b. g. Hancock; by Jno. Mc
Intosh, Byron, Ga., g. g. Willie Clay.
This race wa3 one which has been
looked forward to with great interest
among Macon men, because in it were
pitted against each other the two best
roadsters in the State, Betty Bell and Lee
—the former owned by a wealthy citizen
of Augusta aud tho latter by a young gen
tleman of Macon. In the pool, Betty Bell
was tho favorite, with Lee next. All the
horses got away together on the third
trial, and it was soon apparent to all that
the race was between the.horscs named as
the favorites. The race down the home
stretch was beautiful and hotly contested,
but Lee broke badly several times and
-(hissed under tlte string a length behind,
tho mare winning: - Time, 2:4S{.
The second heat was between Lee and
Bettie Bell omy, the others having been
drawn. In this heat side by side tho bug
gies came down tho stretch, hut at the
distance post Leo rushed ahead and won
by a length. Time 2:47.
Tbe third, heat was the counterpart of
the second, except that the time was re
duced a quarter of a second. This gave
Lee the race, ami hfa \ic.o-y was greeted
with cheers and waving of handkerchiefs.
Lee u.u drawn msny of our belles abou
the city, aud hfa feat of getting around the
track with a heavy buggy behind him in
2:4CJ, is regarded a* much to his credit.

space between them was shown when
they closed the first mile, and rushed
along for the purse. A hard fight for
the first place occurred between Cape Fear Sam H. lemlsta Danxeroesly Sbai.

in which the former tripped upon the : couple.of pistol shots were heard on Third
heels of the latter and foil "headlong, street, near the earner of Chsrrr a«H
street, near the corner of Cherry, and
soon it waa rumored that Mr. Fred Hill
had shot and severely wounded Mr. Sam

Tbe Woman’s Missionary Society.
While our city, with commendable zeal,
was toasting our Western visitors, and
paying thorn ^yery-attention,-tbere was
another gathering of visitors in the city,
so quiet withal, that their presence was
overlooked by tbe mass of onr people.
They came on a very different mission. 1
Theirs was one of love, of Christian devo
tion and self-6acriflcc. They met
in a quiet room on Mulberry
street, aud mingling their prayers
and songs of praise, all un
heeded by the passing throng. They
uome together for counsel, and to devise
more eneigetic measures for.the spreading
of scriptural light among the benighted
women of heathendom. And as they
prayed and sang and talked of their gi and
undertaking, their hearts were strangely
warmed, and they rejoiced in the pleasing
prospect that spread out before them.
This was the first anniversary of the
Womau’s Missionary Society of the South
Georgia Conference of the M. E. Church
South.
The session on Saturday was taken up
in hearing reports from auxiliary socie.
ties, there being represented thirty-four
such societies. Most all of them were in
good working order. Others will soon he
formed, and the incoming year with work
a wonderful improvement in all depart
ments.
A letter from Rev. Young j. Allen,
was read, commending this great enter
prise and bidding them God-speed in their
holj work. Being a Georgian, he was
gratified that Georgia women were mov
ing in tliis direction, and looked for glo
rious results. A letter was read from
Mrs. J. W. Lambeth, the wife of a mis
sionary in Shanghai, detailing in some de
gree woman’s work for women m China.
On Sunday night in the Mulberry Street
Methodist Church public exercises were
held and addresses were made by Dr. 3.
H. Rivers, of Eufaula, Ala., aud Dr.
Bass, of this city. Both these addresses
were eloquent and convincing. A won
derful enthusiasm has been awakened
upon this subject among the ladies of this
city. Will not every lady connected with
this laige and influential denomination
join this great work ? It fa an honor to
the good women who have taken it in
hand, aud this woman’s movement fa des
tined to revolutionize the mission work.
Thousands of godly women all over the
South are to-day thanking God that a
door has been opened to them, and they
are joyously entering in.
This little band, of their own efforts
during the past nine months, have laid
upon the altar of consecration over $500.
This fa to be applied in sending Bible wo
men to the women of China.
The parent board of this society, at
Nashville, publish the IFoman's Mission
ary Advocate. Although started only in
June last, it has now a circulation of 4,-
000 copies. It fa only fifty cents per au

The delegates have all left; for their
homes, carrying, we trust, pleasant mem
ories of Macon, and Macon hospitality.
Xarrlane.
Last night in Vineville,at the residence
of her brother, Miss Aurie Smith was
married to Mr. E. M. Davis, of this city.
The marriage was veiy private, only the
family and a few intimate friends being
present. The bride fa one of Yineville’s
most charming and accomplished daugh
ters, a graduate of the Wesleyan Female
College, and a favorite in a large circle
of friends. She is the sister of our enter
prising merchant, Mr. R. H. Smith, of the
firm of Jessop & Smith. The bridegroom
is the well-known popular traveler of the
Telegram! and Messenger. Mr. Da
vis, or “Mack,” as he is familiarly called,
fa known in every section of the State to
which the paper he represents is mailed,
and numbers hfa friends up among
tiie thousands. Energetic and whole-
souled, he has won hfa way in every en
terprise attempted, and stands high in
business as well as social circles. Al
though not among the favored few who
witnessed the consummation of hfa hap
piness, we tender our profoundest con
gratulations, and express the hope that
the new firm for which he must now
travel will appreciate his services as sin
cerely as ha3 the.old.
Death ot Mr. Reuben Guise.
A telegram was received in the city this
morning by Mr. J. J. Clay, an intimate
friend of Mr. Reuben Guise, that the latter
gentleman, mention of whose injuries was
made yesterday, had died at 11 o’clock
upon the same day that he was hurt. It
seems there was a slight error in the
statement published yesterday morning.
Instead of the deceased falling from the
car platform, he fell irom the stationary
platform, and the injuries which produced
his death were internal. One leg had
been amputated above the 'knee. The
funeral takes place in Dawson this mom-
Jng*. , i
Thus passes away one of the biggest-
hearted inen in Georgia; a man whose
friendship was golden, whose presence was
sunshine, and whose word was a pledge of
honor. We can ill afford to lose such
men from .the State. '.art* 1 /; ,
wounded man lying on Bis hack in a pri
vate room, while Dr. Mettauer was ex
amining his wounds.
He was found to be struck in three
places. A shot had passed entirely
through one leg aud imbedded itself in the
other. A second shot produced a danger
ous looking wou i d nhe left side, five
inches below the nipple. If that ball
pierced the cavity, the wound fa a very
dangerous one, but not so if it ranged
around.
From Mr. Jemison wo have the follow
ing statement: “I was standing taikidg
with Mr. — of Alabama, when Hill
came up and started about Norwood and
Colquitt. I said, ‘pshaw, Hill, you never
were a Norwood man—you were down in
front of the court house trying to break
np the Sam Small meeting.’ He called
me a damn liar and st.uck me, and then
commenced firing. I had no idea in the
world that the boy was going to shoot, or
he never would have got the advantage of
me.” - * 1
From Mr. George J. Willis, of Taylor
county, who was coming down the side
walk a few feet oflj we have a statement
that the man who was struck fired. This
statement fa mado also by another party.
At a late hoar last night Mr. Jemison’s
condition was unchanged. He was carried
to the Lanier House.

Tbe Hill-Jemlson Shooting Affair—
Mr. Hill’s Statement.
Yesterday the condition of Mr. Jemison
was the subject of general inquiry through
out the city. No decided change ha3
taken place since the first shock of the
shot passed away, and strong hopes are
entertained that none of the wounds are
likely to prove fatal. There are four dis
tinct wounds on hfa person. Two were
caused by one bullet. The third is through
the fleshy part of the hip, and the fourth,
is the side wound. It has not been pos
sible to find out what direction the bullet
in the side took. It has apparently gone
straight in, but the probe, as far as insert
ed, shows a different course, and it is possi
ble that the lead has ranged in a lateral
direction without penetrating the cavity.
The wounded man is cheerful, and con
verses freely. He has been removed to
Mr. Burr Brown’s room, where ho
will receive every attention.
Yesterday afternoon a Telegraph
reporter called on Mr. Hill, and heard his
side of the story. Mr. Hill stated that he
was standing in front of Engle’s saloon,
talking witli a crowd, in which was Mr.
Jemison. That Jemison began to abuse
him, calling him opprobrious names, and
finally called him a liar, coupling there
with the vilest of all epithets and follow
ing up the words with a blow. That he
was In fear of his life from that moment,
remembering that Jemison had shot Not
tingham without giving him any chance.
Jemison’s hand was behind him when he
(Hill) began firing. This is the statement
in substance, as given us.
It seems to us that this fa pne of those
unfortunate cases growing out of the prac
tice of carrying concealed weapons. Had
neither party been armed, there would
have been only a fisticuff, and the affair
would have ended. The question has been
asked frequently, “Was Jemison armed ?’
We cannot say positively, but a few min
utes after the shooting we were called
upon to examine a pistol said to he Jemi
son’s. The pistol was a self-cockiug five-
shooter, thirty-eight calibre, we believe.
Every clirmber was loaded.
Later.—The last reports from Mr. Jem
ison represent him as sleeping, but suffer
ing considerable pain, swelling of the ab
domen having begun.
Rifles Fair Notes—Second Night.
Last night the attendance on the Fair
was twice as large as the night before, and
the receipts much more than doubled.
The restaurant was opened and many took
supper there.
A great many contributions were made,
both from home and abroad, the more no
ticeable of whicn was a memorial wreath,
enclosing a tribute to Gen. Lee, taken
from the address of Col. Hardeman on
the delivery of the Gettysburg medal. It
is the handiwork of Mi:s Emma T. Rich

The Flobert Rifle, donated by Hodg
kins & Haigh, was won by Capt. J. L.
Hardeman. The handsome lamp on the
tabic of Mrs. Hardeman and Miss iitevens
was won by Eobt. H. Richards. Many
minor articles were also raffled. The
chancc3 on the fu-niture are being taken
freely. It fa so tastily arrauged that any
body will risk lifa dollar to win it.
The domestic venture did a good busi
ness, although several sacks of flour and
two hams fell to the prize-seekers. When
all the chickens that have been donated
are in, that department will equal that of
the late Atlanta fair. One of the first
raffles to-night will be a fine trio of dark
leghorns, presented by Edgar A. Ross.

Floyd Rifle»' Fair Notes.
Mrs. D. B. Woodruff, on yesterday af
ternoon, sent in a monument of immor
telles, about two feet high. Placed in it
arc thirty-five small white ribbon flags, on
each of which is the name of a member of
tbe Floyd Bifles wko was killed or died
in the late war, the monument being sur
mounted by a flag bearing the name of
Major George W. Ross, and next to it is
that of Captain Charles R. Redding. It
fa another memento that the company will
not raffle, but will, with reverential pride,
place in its armory?
The attendance last night was a great
improvement and the hails were literally
jammed till a late hour, the company real
izing handsomely from them. Among the
many articles raffled the following are a
