Post-Appeal: Between two and three o’clock Friday afternoon, the inward bound passenger. No. 48) and the outward bound freight, No. 19, collided about ten miles from Atlanta on ibe At lanta and Charlotte Air Line railroad. The collision occurred as the freight train was rounding a ourve on the other side of Peachtree creek. The mail car following the tender on the paseenger train was telescoped by the tender. Mr. Peter Keyes, the engineer, and Jim Col lins, the fireman on the passenger train, were both killed In the collision. Keyes was terribly mutilated. Collins was badly crushed but llred some hours. Keyes leaves a wife and daughter. He was a good and faithful engineer. Athens Banner: Buss Brezlel killed Jack Daniel, about a mile and a half from Lawrenceville last week. They left Lawrenceville partially intoxicated, and carrying a bottle of liquor with them. They quarreled and fought and Braziel crushed Daniel’s head with a fence rail. More of whisky’s work. Braziel escaped. At.tiavy News and AdtertUer: The three days races on the track of the fair association, under the auspices of the Albany Jockey Club, closed yesterday afternoon the 24th. The attendance was very small, as on the two days previous, and we are sorry to say that the gate money did not amount to enough to pay more than one-fourth of the purses awarded on the races. All the purses were promptly paid, however, and the gentlemen who “backed” the Jockey Club are the losers. The Cuthbert Appeal is fourteen years old, and Jim Sawtell is talking about silver locks as If he were getting old. Mb. L. P. Pendleton will hereafter be associated with C. K. Pendleton in the management of the Valdosta Tiinet. The Savannah News of Monday morn ing is brimful of Christmas performances. It was a busy day with the police, and a number of casualties are reported. The News closes its long account with the fol lowing: The seance of the police court to day will be the most successful of the season, there being some fifty candidates who will be presented for honors. A number of parties who were arrested were released on bond, but others not so fortu nate were placed in confinement, and last night there were over thirty of this class incarcerated in the cells. Lumpkin Independent: Professor John T. Coley, of Macon, is visiting his parents In fils county. Several years ago he was blind and could not walk about without a guide, hut now, with tho aid of glasses, lie can see very well and goes about as well as anyone. He is an accomplished musician and is, we believe, organist for Mulberry Street Methodist Church. Gainesville Eagle: Ex-Gov. James M. Smith has for some time past been considering the idea of moving to our city. We learn that be has closed a trade for Mr Davis Smith's place, near Alta Vista Cemetery, and will remove .here with his family at an early day. The Governor will be quite au acquisition to our citi zens, and we shall extend him a cordial welcome. Stricken With Paralysis.—Coffee Countp Gazette: Since the report in our issue of last week of a young lady being stricken with paralysis, we have Iia<l another case, and that of a young woman. Mrs. Jessie Carver, living a few miles from town, white drinking water one day last week was stricken, and in stantly fell to the lloor. She is in a criti cal condition, with but little hope of her recovery. Mrs. Carver is twenty years of age, and was in good health up to the time she was attacked. This is the third case of paralysis of youog women iu our county within lha past lour months. Atlanta Constitution: Somebody suggests Mr. Wadley, of tho Ceutral rail? aoad, as secretary of the interior in the new cabinet. This would never do in tlie world. The appearance of Mr. Wadley in this capacity would indicate the sudden and swift disappearance of the knaves who swindle the Indians, and justice to tlie.Indians is not a part of the Itepublican policy. We learn from the Brunswick Adter tUer that two colored men had an alter cation on Bay street, in that city, iast Saturday night, which resulted in the shooting of one of the parties by the other. The marshal and policeman had a lively time overtaking the man who did the shooting. Being a sailor he naturally took to the water, and came near getting away in the marsh on the opposite side of the river, but his pursuers were so close on him that he tripped as he jumped from bis boat and rolledover inthe marsb- grass. He tried to conceal himself lu the water with nothing but his nose out, but one of the oarsmen in the marshal’s boat tombed him with his oar and discovered his whereabouts. The Athens Blade, published by Pled ger, the colored chairman of the Republi can Executive Committee lor Georgia, has this ol Senator Bruce: “This time another yearwiilthe Kepublican party through its president elect Lave accorded the negro wing of the party a part of what is due it by placing Senator Bruce in the cabinet? The negro race does not want any other mau—it wants Bruce. He is the best qualified because of ills past experience as a public man, and because he stands to day free from any stain upon his charac ter. Justice ought to be done the negro if be is expected to come up to the rack eve ry time called upon. We see the leading Republicans and the leading Republican organs of the north speculating upon the complexion of the next cabinet. They conjecture the German, the Irishman, the Frenchman and other classes of our citi zens will be represented, but we have not heard a single one hint that the negro will be represented. We know this much, if Senator Bruce or some other colored man is not put in the cabinet there will be a great many disappointed colored voters. It will do the party no harm to consider the claims of these million voters. Says the Brunswick Advertiser: “The Savaunah, Florida and Western railway began several months ago to give low- priced round trip tickets to Savannah irom way station No. 1}—parties to return the same day. It worked like a charm. Re ceipts over that part of the road increased materially. The experiment was extended to No. 2, with simi lar results. Then to No. 3, and so on to Jcsup. Round trip tickets over this road from Jcsup to Savannah and re turn on same day, now sell for the sum of $1, and the cars are crowded. This helps the road, helps Savannah, and helps the people who buy, and does no injury to the road. To cheapen transportation and in crease facilities for the same is to increase travel, just as the lowering of postage In creases i lie sendiug of letters. If tho roads leading into our city could adopt a similar plan, might it not work good to our town as well as to tho roads themselves? We throw out the suggestion.” Greknvii.le Vindicator: In hiring cooks for the coming year, do not try to overreach your neighbor, but observe the golden rule of doing to others as you would have them do unto you. , Larry Gantt, of tho Oglethorpe Echo, is alarmed for his friends, and pub lishes the following warning: As the county election is near at hand, and votes are already iu great demand, it is uot too early In the campaign for us to call atten tion to the law just enacted in regard to buying or selling votes in Ibis State. This law was approved by the Governor on the 8th, and provides, “that it any person shall buy or sell, or oiler to buy or sell, a vote, or sliaii be in any way connected or con cerned in buying or selling a vote at any election in this State, or in any county thereof, such person shall lie indicted fora for distribution, and another generous , misdemeanor, ami on conviction shall be deed would he tue tender of their drays j punished *» prescribed iu section 4310 of and delivery wagons u> the reverend gen- the code «r 1673.” tlernau by our draymen and merchants Bon Howard, o> the Jefferson News, lor Its transportation to tbe various homer, talks thus: “The latest suggestion „ JT mfer Rtnubli- brought out by the census is to cut Clark was srteken aSftergmv off Into the eighth district and I with apoplexy on Thursday morning give this district Cherokee county in ex- intent to persevere in religion to the end about three o’clock, waa reported at a late change.

It is with pleasure, says the Atlanta Constitution, that we note the appoint- ment'of Mr. John B. Wrenn, who la so well and favorably known in Atlanta, as southeastern passenger agent of the Mem- * ’ Us and Charleston, and East Tennessee, Irgiuia and Georgia railroad, with head- arters at Atlanta. Mr. Wrenn is a young an of acknowledged energy and ability, id „ili certalnlv prove an advantage this combination. Augusta Sunday Mirror: Dr. Jones, Burke, says the term “Georgia cracker” .ame from country teamsters rouud Sa vannah, who had a loud, noisy way of crackiug their whips. Our Judge Mont gomery says the name came from escaped convieis, who were crackers or cracksmen, in the sjnse of housebreakers. Dr. Jones looks Ok it from his profession, a loud noisa afiec.ing the nerves. Judge Mont gomery from his, as violating the 18th section. Who will crack on this subject next? Savannah News says: Mr. John Nu- cent, Lite worthy foreman of the Morning New composing room, was the victim of a pleasant surprise last night. Without any warning, Iks was called to order by Colonel A. B. Hazzaru, of the composing force, in me name of all the printers, and lu au exceedingly appropriate and happy address, w as presented with a handsome massive gold-headed cane. Mr. Nugent, though taken completely unawares, feelingly ~ acknowledged the compliment, thanking the printers for this evidence of their good will, and trusting the kindly feeling which now prevailed would c-mtimie for all time. He con- el u do by wishing all present a merry Christmas aud a happy New Year. His rentalks were received with applause. It was iu every respect a most pleasant in cident, and illustrated the esprit du corps of the Morning New* office. Tho head Dears the following inscrip tion, which was superbly engraved by Mr. A. Kriegur, with M. Sternberg: JOHN NUGENT, Foreman, FROM Morning News Composing Room, Christmas, 1880. We congratulate you, John, on tnis tes timonial, knowing that it is deserved. The following sensible conclusions arccllpj' a d from tho Albany News and AdtertUer. There was never a greater mistake made than that our agricultural fair authorities make in giving such prom inence to horso racing. By this mistaken policy they have discouraged tho farmers and hence the meagre agricultural dis play a: I-inc- she organization of our fair asso ciation. the popular idea of those liaviug control of such matters has been that there must be racing atevery fair to draw acro vd. This idea may be a correct one, but tho:e who have figured in the races here this week are doubtless convinced by this time that there must be also be some sort of a fair to “draw a crowd” to the races. Warrenton Clipper: We must say that we favor education a little nearer home. We have taken the pains to ex amine the catalogue of some of the great agricultural colleges the State is planting about, and we find, out of the great num ber of pupils attending, very few are from any of the counties outside of the one where the colleges are located. What ad vantage can this unequal manner of edu cation be to the masses? We must beg pardon for calling it the wild term of “a fraud.” We need the aid of the State in every county so that every parent can ed ucate his orlicr child nearer home free of cost iu tuition. It is certain that very few parents arc able to send to schools in oth er counties where they must psy board even if tuition is free. The fact is they loie by it in many ways, and they are too sensible to undertake It. Soniooftbe special towers of Babel will have to come down and let the general benefits be scat tered around more promiscuously. The Atiscta Post-Appeal on the “toy pistol:’’ A man yesterday esme Into Dr. Willis Westmoreland’s office with a hand preitybadly shot with a toy pistol. Char ley Rowell, on Decatur stree*, was cele brating with a toy pistol, when R was dis ebarg-d, severely burning his hand. The bullet \ja<]ly lacerated a fence poet. A little negro waa playing with some boys, hack of ihe residence of Mrs. Muse, on South 1’iyor street, *ten s toy pistol ball went through his hdl%J}adly tearing it, and creating much cnilirnation iu the neighborhood. Johnny Basberry, on Fort Street, was luckless enough to get shot witii a toy pistol In the heel of the lTaod. The ball lore a big hole and burned him badly. A machinist, who works iu the foundry, let off a toy pistol in ciose prox imity to his left hand. Tbe ball tore through the tendons of tho first finger, and wps exceedingly painful. TK» toy pistol reporter had not returned at 3 o’clock this morning, and it is feared that be may have fallen a victim to this deadly weap on. He was seen about midnight, and w as heard to say that he had particulars of 379 eases of wound inflicted by tbe toy pistol since last Friday night. Athens Banner: A poor fellow was taken into a hospitable home night before last, after wearing himself out trying to escape from the devils that were created by mania a potu.

Thomasville Times: Last Sunday about noon lightning struck and killed one of Mr. T. C. Mitchell’s valuable Jer sey cows. She was in the pasture near Trout Lake. A little singed hair on one hind leg was the only outward sign left by the deadly fluid. Columbus Times: Mr. Cecil Gabbett, resident of tbe Western railroad, has do tted ten car-loads of croasties to the oor of tbe city for firewood.

One had on board a cargo of hay, another a cargo of iron pipes, etc., for the Macon waterworks, and the third a cargo of gen* eral merchandise for our city aud tbe in terior. In this coneectiou we might state in a sly way, though we get no pay for it, that Messrs. Littlefield A Tison’s packet line bring a power ot goods through this city. Early County News: Mr. John Best, probably the oldest citizen of the county, died at the ressdence or his sou, John P. Best, one day last week. Mr. Best was very highly esteemed by all who knew him, on account of his strict integrity in all his dealings with his fellow-men. For several years, just previous to the war, he was the tax collector of the county. He was about eighty-three years of age at the time of fall death. The Rome Courier gives an account ol the burning of tlja residence of Colonel C. W. Sproull on last Sunday. Some of the furniture and wearing apparel was saved. The Courier says: “ihe house was the finest country residence in Fioyd county, and cost, a few years since, about Colonel Sproull estimates his islng tbe habit, it la con ferred upon the novice, who retires and returns vested with ,it; the choir in the meantime singing tbe psalm “In Exetu Israel.” On her return to the sanctuary, she is presented with cincture, which is put on her by tbe Superioress. The cere mony then closed by tbe choir singing the hymn “Veils Creator.” After tbe cere mony of tbe reception, benediction of tbe Blessed Sacrament was given. On the whole tbe occasion was one that will be long and pleasantly remembered by those who were present. The young novice, who is now known in religion, as Sister Opbel a is the daughter of Capt. Edward Moneghan. of Newnan, Ua., who, with his wife, were attendants on the occa sion. The young lady is, we learn, deservedly popular among her acquaintan ces in Newnan, and her memory will long be cherished. Atlanta Post-Appeal .of the 28th says: This morning about 0 o’clock tbe chambermaid at the Wilson House, upon entering the room of Mr. Thomas F. Grady found him lying iu bed apparently still asieep.

V.Connerat, an old and well known citizen, died at his residence yesterday morning, about 11 o’clock, after a brief illness. Mr. Con- nerat was a native of Savannah, bora in April, 1812, and was in his sixty-seventh year. Darien Gazelle: For some weeks psst the following absurd newtpoperparagraph has been going tbe rounds: “A movement is on foot among the Republicans iu Washingtou and Georgia to remove Gen eral MeLaws from the Savannah post- office, and place in bis stead John T. Col lins, tho defeated Radical candidate for Congress in the first district.” Now, for one aud all, wc will state that there is not a word of truth in that paragraph; neither is there any truth in the report that he was interviewed in Washington about contest ing Congressman Black’s seat. Of late there has been a lot of stuff telegraphed from Washington about Colonel Collins, all of which he pronounces falsehoods. Colonel Collins is a Republican, bul that will never prevent us from doing him Jus tice. Iu regard to his contesting tbe Beat of Colonel Blaek we will state what we said last week: we have no idea Colonel Collius intends to contest. Rome Courier: We see it stated that Hon. Emory Speer will soon marry a rich Northern lady. We have noticed thatthe Hon. Emory ever siuce he got to Con gress lias had a decided leaning towards the North. Athens Banner: Mr. Win. Conley was badly hurt last Saturday by beiug struck in tho eye with a stick by a negro. Tbe blow was a fearful one, and there is dauger that the sight of that eye will be destroyed forever. A special dispatch to the Post-Appeal says Washington, December 28.—In reply to to your inquiiy you can state upon the best authority that the report of Special Agent Newcomb has been carefully ana lyzed and that President Hayes liss fully informed Limsel! on tbe subject of the Georgia marshalship. He fully under stands the fight made on Fitzsimmons, and has decided that there are not suffi cient reasons given for his removal from office. Au excellent authority says tbe President believes tlie efforts to secure the decapitation of Fitzsimmons are part of a scheme to impress Gaiiicld with the fact that the appo.ntment of a Democrat to of fice iu the South has proven a failure or the Hayes administration. He has inti mated Ids purpose to keep Fitzsimmons in office until March 4lb, at all events. I learn Hon. A. H. Stephens received this promise from the President a week ago, and tiiat telegrams to tlie same effect hare gone from Dcveus aud Raum to Anurew Clark, Cr’.lector at Atlanta. This is the end of the matter uutil after the Garfield inauguration. B. Indian SmiNO Argus: On Thursday night lost the store or Mr. A. McWstkius & Sons, ol Jackson, was totally destroyed by fire. The goods were all saved, and tlie house was insured for $400. The fire originated in the back room of the build ing, between the ceiling overhead and the roof, ami is supposed to have beeu set on fire by rats aud matches.^ Columbus Enquirer: Saturday nlglit tlie printing and book binding establish ment. or Mr. Thos. Gilbert was entered by burglars. They rifled ail the drawers, but only ninety cents and some postage stamps were obtained. This a warning to thieves net to trouble themselves about burglarizing a printing office; for it will, as a rule, never pay. Savannah News: An unfortunate ac cident, resulting iu the death of a child, occurred on the Marietta place, about three miles from tho city, on the Savan nah, Florida and Western railroad, on Christmas. From what we can ascertain it seems that Charles Washingtou, a col ored man, was silting by the fire in hls house with his gun in hand, looking for something to shoot at. Just as be leveled his weapon snd polled tlie trigger a col ored child, aged eigiit years, named Linda bpikeuur, ran by the house and received the entire contents in her person, pro ducing instant death. The Statesville Landmark says that Mr. G. F. Shepherd cleared four acres of swamp land and drained iu On the 3d of June he planted it in corn and worked it ouly once. He gathered from it 355 bushels of com, six wagon loads of pump kins and seventy-five bushels of peas. Taking the Veil. — The Savannah Xtw* savs: At tlie Convent Chapel on Liberty street there was witnessed last evening by those who were so fortunate as to attend, a beautiful and impressive ceremony, that of the reception of a young lady into the Older of Mercy. The cere mony was performed by the Right Rev. Bishop, assisted by Rev. Father Cafferty, V. G., and Father Oswald, G. S. B. Af ter the entrance of the reverend clergy intofhesanctuary tho procession marched into tho chapel in the following order: Miss Lizzie Carson, cross bearer. Four little girls, bearing baskets of flowers, aud Hie community in twos, bearing lighted caudles, and then tho postulaut, Miss Minnie Moneghan, of Newnan, Ga., at tired as a bride, wreathed with orange blossoms, habiliments which she now temporarily wore #s an index of the prom ise tiiat she would be Hie spouse of Christ, garments which she would soon cast aside to be clothed in those of poverty. As the procession advanced the choir sang the hymn “O, Ulorlssa Virginum.” Reach ing the sanctuary, the twos separated, leaving the postulant iu the centre, im mediately in front of the Bishop, who, af ter giving her a blessed candle,-made a ew very eloquent remarks, showing how different were the judgments of the world and the judgments of God, depicting tbe apparent poverty and helplessness of the Babe at Bethlehem, aud yet the power that remained with Him at God. At tbe cloio of the Bishop’s remarks, the following question* were asked by him: Celebrant—“My child, what do you de mand ?” Postulant—“The' Mercy of God and the liolv Habit of Religion.” Celebrant—“Is it with your own free will you demand the Holy Habit of Re ligion ?” l’ostulant—“Ye , Right Bev.

Celebrant—“My child, have yon a Area came upon him iu his sleep evidently, for there were no signs of pain or saffering upon bis features or snout hls bed. There is a lady in Harris’county who has a quilt containing 1,765 pieces. We are informed that it took 50,630 stitches to quilt it.

Probably Maconites have never beeu more astonished than upon yeaterday morning, when daylight showed them a white mantle of suow spread over the earth’s surface. With the majority sur prise was soon merged Into delight, for snow with us is rare enough to be hailed, when it does appear, with symptoms, so to speak, of pleasure. The city consid ered the occasion a holiday affair, aud proceeded so to make it. The business portion of the city soon presented a lively appearance; every street comer had its crowd, and unfortunate was he whom relentless business forced to pass them by. If the wayfarer was wise, he simply ducked his head into his over coat collar and, to use tho handiest ex pression, “scooted,” taking the blows he received good naturedly. If he was fool ish be stopped and asked, “Who threw that snow ?” or gathered up material to reciprocate. This class suffered. No one was spared - doctors, ministers, elderly gentlemen, business men and boys.- The darky was an universal target. One of them, a preacher, stopped when struck aud exclaimed angrily, “Ef you does dst agin, I’ll have you read out dc church.” He was furnished with enough reading matter to last him six months. -But snowballing was only a small por tion of the fun; that enterprising firm Col lins & Winn, at once went to work rig- ging up buggies into sleighs and soon the merry bells gave evidence of the progress of the new amusement in Macon. Other parties followed suit, and sleighs of every description sped through the streets, din ner bells iu some instances serving jinglers. .. . , During the day a piercing northwest wind sprung up, and the thermometer started down. At five o’cleck it marked fifteen degrees above zero; at six and a half o’clock,fourteen, and at eight o'clock, thirteen, being the lowest, wa learn ever observed iu Macon. The sidewalks are as slippery as glass, and the prospects at this writing, are that to-day will furnish fine opportunity for the use of sleighs and fires. . ' l The view, as obtained from tbe dome of the Court House yesterday was both novel and beautiful. A soft, silent white ness crowned every object and surface within tbe eye’s resell. The pines upon the far-away hills lifted their white arms full of snow into tbe blue skies, and the roads leading out from the city shone like the spotless paths down which tbe artists lore to picture the an gels descending. Taken all In all, tho old year goes out with considerable eclat, hls gray hairs dancing in the wind. Let us hope that the New will make bis appearance with a few sun-kissed locks. Thoy are warmer to look upon, and we could put up with as deep a Uut as red now. Own mUi COLUMBUS AMD WESTERN KAIL* ROAD. Farth*M4 kjr C*Imm1 Wadlejr u4 On last Saturday Colonel W. M. Wad ley, president of the Central railroad, purchased the Columbus aud Western— formerly the Memphis and Savannah railroad. Tbe price paid is something over $700,000. Ail will be glad to learn that it has fallen into such management, for si aougli Columbus was interested to tha amount of $100,000, comparatively small benefit have we derived. The road extends from Opelika to Goodwater, Ala., through one of tbe richest counties in Alabama. It Is one of tha best located roads in Alabama. Some time ago It was sold to the bond holders, wh n tbe name was changed to that which forms the caption of thu arti cle. The purchasers (the bondholders) have been negotiating with Col. Wadley and associates for some time past, but not until last Saturday was a trade ef fected. Yesterday morning Col.’ Wadley passed through our city en route for Opeilka. His mission Is to go over tbe road in order to see that everything is as repre sented in the bill rendered. This will re quire several days, when If everything is correct the bargain will be closed. The new company will take control about January 1st, 1881. They propose making Columbus tbe eastern terminus and naming trains from this point to Goodwater. We con gratulate our city on such a prosperous turn of affaire. Three cheers and a .tiger for tbe Co lumbus And Western.—Columbus Sun. Mr. C. T.

James Fitzpatrick: Drab Sir— Yours of tho 4th instant duly received. Personally I am opposed to enlarging tbe city because it will take-ta \ inovlUe and thereby increase my taxes about fifty dol lars, which is an item these hard times; but believing it would secure the election of Republican officers for several years to come,I would be willing, for tbe sake of the party to pay this extra tax. Jeff told me several weeks ago that a bill had been prepared for this purpose, and supposed it had been presented before this time. I should think you might have tbe bill drawn up there. It’s not necessary to go. into anything very elaborate. A petition asking that the limits of tbe city do ex tended half a mile all around, and that the new acquisition be brought under the laws and regulations of the city, is all that is necessary. I have made inquiries respecting the eligibility of the county officers elect and am satisfied that none of them held office before the war. I wouii like to have you speak a good word for Colonel Bailey to Governor Bullock; he is a firstrate lawyer and done more for the Republican cause than all tbe other lawyers put together. In fact, he is tbe only one iu the profession that voted the Republican ticket iu Macon. I am fairly started now iu my new office. There is hut very little doing. Occasionally issue a marriage license. So you see tbe people will get married, notwithstanding tbe hard times. I don’t bear any more about tbe old court house. It probably will not be given up except by an order from the Gov ernor. 1 would like to nave you keep me posted in matters that you think would interest me, and I will do the same •by you. I read your letter to Jeff. You will probably hear from him soon. V ery respectfully, C. T. WARD. Macon, Dec. 18tb, 1878. C. T. Ward, Esq.: Dear Sir—In com mon with a very large portion of tho Democratic party and citizens generally, I ask your consent to allow the use of your name as a candidate for sheriff in this county. If you will come forward your election can almost be assured. Respectfully, A Democrat. Macon, Dec. 19, 1878. To a Democrat—Dear Sir: Your kind favor is before me, and has been duly and carefully considered. In reply, I have to say tiiat I am a Democrat, and, when vot ing at all, usually cas. in my voice with that party. Thus, I voted for Col. Harde man, Mr. Blount and other Democrats, and feel identified with tlie interests and fortunes of Macon and her citizens. I should not have occupied the position ot an independent candidate for ordinary in tbe last election, if tbe opinion had not been general that the short notice given at the time for holding the primary elec tion had prevented a fair expression of the people’s sentiments as to who should rep resent them. Fully half of the Democ racy, in consequence of tiiat feeling, took no part in the primary election. It is very different in tlie present instance, however, where due and sufficient notice wss given, and a full vote polled. I beg leave re spectfully to decline your invitation to run independent for sheriff, and shall abide and support the nomination of tbe Demo cratic party. [Signed] C. T. Ward. OURCOUXTY ROADS. Tbe Business si Hseoa Requires That They Be Attended Tn. The long rainy weeks have had a most damaging efiect upon the roads leading into Macon and our previously beautiful thoroughfares have been reduced to a la mentable condition. Probably the wont, though the moat Important, road leading into Macon is that which approaches from Jones and Twiggs county, by way of Cross Keys. It was last worked early last spring, and has been subjected to a strain for three months such as no thoroughfare under the sun could have stood. Incessant hauling and rain bavo made it almost impassable. Tbe latter is true also of all the roads leading into Macon Tbe effect of this state of affaire has been apd is being felt dally by tho citizens of Macon. Cotton is blocked out of tbe market aud wood is selling at $4 per cord. In other words, the merchants are losing the country trade, and the people are pay ing fancy prices for fuel. At their recent meeting the. road com missioners re-elected Mr. Willis Wood, superintendent, and Mr. Walter G. Smith as clerk, and discussed plans suggested to relieve the pressure caused by bad roads. The most feasible one, iu the absence of funds, was to borrow the chain-gang from the city authorities for a couple of months aud to place thorn at work im mediately. We understand the com mtssioners have laid before the city council a petition to the end specified Certain it is, that the emergency calls for immediate action, and we trust our city fathers may be made to realize it. “UXDBR THR PALKR.” A very appreciative audience filled Ma sonic Hall to its utmost capacity to hear tbe Christmas cantata, “Under tbe Palma,’’ as rendered by the children of the Pres byterian church, assisted by several well known vocalists ot the city. Tbe scenic arrangement waa very fine and illustrated the good taste of tbe managers. The sing ing wss exceptionally good, all of the nu merous choruses beiug - well put forth by the children. The audieuce were especially delighted with the voices of Mrs. J. E. Wells, Jr., aud Mrs. Tbeo. Wells, who never appeared to better ad vantage. Mr. JulianPrice, without whom no musical entertainment in Macon is complete, again pleased his hearers with his deep, rich tones. Mr. J. C. Powell appeared for the first time since his return and leut hls well cultivated voice to make tbe evening enjoyable. The quartette by tbe above-named ladies and gentlemen was perhaps tbe gem of the entertain ment. The cantata as a whole was most excel lent, and will long be remembered as au entirely successful amateur performance. The Velocipede Rase. Christmas and the holiday eeasoa has crowded out of our columns any mention of the velocipede race further than the first announcement made. The afislr has not languished, however, and the boys have been putting in some lively practic ing. Santa Claus, iu view of the pro posed nee, has been very thoughtful, and has mounted many youngsters upon new and improved machines, so tbst on Friday next quue a brilliant array of riders may be looked for. At 2:30 o’clock on the afternoon of the day mentioned all boys wishing to take part in the races will assemble at the corner of Second and Mulberry streets near the monument, where a line will bo formed. The proces sion will then move up Second to Cherry street, returning to the monument. At this point all the racers will remain while not actually engaged in the contests. Tbe races will take place over the stretch of ground lying between Cherry and Mul berry streets, the starting point being at the first named. Four prizes have been furnished, and tbe boys will be divided into as many classes, viz: First class, boys under fifteen years or age, (gold) . . . . $10 00 Second, class, boys under eleven years of age, (gold) . . Third class, boys under eight years of age, (gold) .... Fourth class, boys under six years of age, (gold) .... 5 GO 300 Harrlad. At the residence of Professor W. D. Williams, principal of tho Academy for tho Blind, ou last night occurred a social event of no little moment, alike o the high contracting parties and the families with which they stand connected. Tbe peculiar surroundings added much to the solemnities of the occasion. Miss Toclile Williams, the only daughter of Professor Williams, wss joined iu wedlock to Rev. R. W. Macdonell, so well known in this city. The groom Is under appointment missionary of the M. E. Church, South, to the city of Mexico, and this young couple will leave for their distant home early in January. ’ Tbe ceremony was performed by Rev. A. M. Williams, brother of the bride, assisted by Rev. G. G. N. Macdonuel, the father of the groom. None but the fami lies of the parties were present. Tbe bride and groom left last night for Savannah, where they will spend a week iu visiting friends, and return to Macon before they reave for Mexico. We extend the most hearty congratula tions to the happy pair, and bestow upon them our editorial benediction. UlllInN In Xontleello. jj iyj We learn that on Saturday last an af fray occurred in Jasper between two cousins named Kelly, resulting iu the death of one. Eight yean ago the:e was a fight between the Kellys and another party, in which two of tbe family lost their lives. In this last difficulty the son of one of the dead men killed a son of tbe only survivor of the affair ot 1873. SUkMd. Mr. J. K. Schofield received on yester day telegrams announcing the stabbing of bis brother, John C. Schofield, formerly of this city, in Greenville, S. G\, on Christmas day.

By the shove arrangement, as will be seen, a boy under six years of age may compete for ail the prizes; one under eight for three of them, and one under eleven for two. Each class of racers will be started together, and some lively fun may be expected. Tbe street will be kept free of vehicles while the races are going on, and spectators kept upon the sidewalk. The Hurricane Strikes New England. We have received letters from different parts of New England asking for informa tion about a young girl named Eva Brit ton, who is traveling tlic-re as the repre sentative of the Charleston Hurricane, and treasurer of the Southeastern Press Association. The young girl in question undoubtedly came from Charleston, and her mother re sides here. We do hot know of any such newspaper or publication as the Hurricane, bat Mrs. Britton informed a reporter on Friday that such a paper was published in the summer, and that another number will be issued in January. The “Southeastern Press Association” which is mentioned is the “Southeastern Amateur Press Asso ciation,” of Washington, D. C., which published the fourth number of its letter- paper size oigan this month. It Is organ ized for “Hie promotion of amateur journalism,” and the dues of members are only fifty cents a year. We have said enough, wo expect, to satisfy the good people of New England tha. the greatest kindness they can do the representative of The Hurricane is to ship her to Charleston, carriage paid.— Charleston News, More Attractions at tbe Libsui-jr.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger: It is often said that it Is impossible to pre vent the sale of liquors outlie Sabbath and on days of election, and also to prevent the carrying of concealed weapons. The writer of this article contends that the fault Is uot with tho law, but with the of ficers who are employed to enforce the law. The Legislature has granted sufficient authority on this subject. Section 4310 of the code of the State plainly attaches a line uot to exceed one tbousaud dollars, imprisonment not to exceed six months, to work in a chain-gang on the public works not to exceed twelve months, and any one or more of these punishments may be ordered, in the discretion of the judge. Now let tbe judges charge that, from and after this date, all violators of these laws shall be fined the full extent of the law, and let them apply it with full force against every offender, and my word for it, it will stop. The writer takes this occasion further to say, that the selling of liquors on Sun days and on days of electiou is not done by bar-keepers, who do business ia a le gitimate manner. The drunkenness that occurs on these days is caused by the liq uor sold by tbe drugstore,giocery store and wholesale liquor store. Ou tl>e days of municipal or other elec tions, orders are published in the papers requiring all of the bar-rooms closed. Now, why not close up all other bouses that sell liquor? Tbe law plainly says on those days you shall not sell, furnish or ;ive liquor. The bar-rooms are all ttrlct- y watched by the police, vet the grocery itores give drinks and sell by tbaplnt aud j half-pint bottles on Sunday and days of election. Why Is it that the bar-tender, who doe* business in a legitimate way by paying for his license, is watched and restricted and heavily fined if brought before the courts, while tbe doubis-violaters ot the law go unmolested and unpunished f As we have a new ana popular may or, we hope he will do hls whole dntv, and investigate tbe retailing of liquor without license and apply the double penalty. Let there be no discrimination, bat all be placed on an equal footing.
