THE GEORGIA PRESS.
The Talbotton railway was finished
Wednesday, and daily trains were order
ed to commence yesterday.
QUINCE seed aro selling at $4 per
pound in Columbus, and the Enquirer
says the market has been bulled by the
ladies who use them to “fix up their
bangs.” Two years ago the market was
dull at fifty cents per pound.
Oh Saturday, at Savannah, 25 shares of
Central railway stock brought $145.75 per
■hare, and cne first mortgage bond of the
South Georgia and Florida railway
$113.25.
The Savannah News has the following
“The Kev. O. Hardman, a prominent a_ud
esteemed citizen of Jersey City, N. J.,died
on board the steamer De Bary while on a
trip up the St. John’s river on Saturday
morning last, at about two o’clock, of con
gestion of the brain. His body was
brought liere this morning on the steam
er CUy of Bridgeton from Florida
and will be forwarded to his home to-day
on the steamship Gate CUy.
The deceased was about sixty-five years
of age, and leaves a wife who is now in
New Jersey, aud two sons, residents of
this city—Mr. J. N. Hardman, Manager
of the Florida inland steamers, and Mr.
Orlando UanimaD, who Is connected with
the Savannah Oil Works. Another son
Mr. E. H. Hardman, a resident of Jack
sonvllle, Fla., Is principal stockholder anil
president of the Feruaudina and Jackson
ville railway.” .
We learn from the Courier that the
Borne bank building and fixtures were
sold last Tuesday, realizing in all $8,200.
The building brought $0,900, and the
Herring safe, with Yale time lock, $000.
The Marietta Journal says: One of
those strange monstrosities, that surprise
and bailie accountability, was called by a
cow on the place of Freeman Christian,
colored, near Mr. R. M. Gcodman’s, on
last Friday, in this county. It was a calf
with eight legs, a well formed neck and
no head. Three care protruded from the
lower side of the neck near its shoulders.
It had an under lip like that of a dog.
Two caudal appendages were in the usual
place. The cow and calf are both dead.
The Sumter Republican learns “from
many farmers of Schley that operations in
the fields are mostly satisfactory. Com
is reported as half a leg high. Cotton in
many places is up and vigorously grow
in0. .ml liMittij lioto been set to work
chopping i t out. In fact, there seems not
to have been much of a drawback on ac
count of the lateness with which farmers
went to work.”
Of the prospect in Thomas county the
Enterprise says “all crops are at least
one month behind an aveiage year, and
more than that behind what they were
last year. This, however, Is not tbo fault
of the farmers. They were up with their
work, just as far advanced as they can be,
in nearly every place that came under our
observation, but the spring has been so
backward. We saw corn that had beau
plowed out and then hoed, but it was not
more than six inches high, though the
land was good and strong.- Cotton looked
strong and vigorous, though it was just up
and nearly every place has some planted
and not yet up.
The McDuffie Journal says on last
Sunday “the Reverends J. A. Shivers, of
Warren, and Littleton Usry, of Glass
cock, held services at Brier Creek church,
Warren county. Mr. Shivers preached,
and Mr. Usry was dosing the- services
with prayer, when he was stricken with
paralysis and had to be assisted to a seat,
alter which he only speke a few intelligi-
hie words. He was carried a short dis
tance to the residence of Mr. Jordan Nor
ris, where, about 3 o’clock in the after
noon, be died.”
Two little girls named Thomas pot oat
what promised to be a disastrous fire in
the house of their mother at Dnblln, last
Saturday. They ran up stairs “with
buckets of water, and climbing out on tbe
roof through the dormer windows, extin
guished the flames after a hole had been
burnt in the roof two or three feet square.
We quote as follows from the Athens
Banner:
Wants to Get Out.—There Isa ne
gro man in jail in Athens who is so anx
ious to get oat that he feigns Insanity. He
folds his arms and butts Ins head with all
his might against the walls and door of
his cell. He has split the skin on his
forehead dear to the bone, and his bead
has been badly bruised. Finding his
efforts unavailing, he has gently settled
down to a condition of contented sanity.
$100,000 ih Foub Months.—It is said

p saession.
Narrow Escape.—Under this head,
the Americas Republican says:
On Tuesday morning Miss Minnie Sim
mons, daughter of Mr. J. M. Simmons,
was in the dty shopping, riding around in
a baggy, while passing from Forsyth
street into Cotton Avenue, the horse be
came frightened, ran up Cotton Avenue
and crossing Lamar street, struck against
the lamp poet near the store of Schum-
pert, Honey A King, throwing Miss Min
nie violently to the ground. Her left
■faoalder and the back of her bead were
badly bruised, and her fine scratched and
bruised considerably. We regret to learn
that up to *a late hour Tuesday evening,
iiio Simmons had been delirious from
her hurts. Drs. Head and Fort, tbe phy
sicians In attendance, we learn, had not
determined upon the injuries she had
sustained.

The Atlanta Post-Appeal says:
A Valuable Experiment.—The
commissioner of agriculture lias received
about sixty large sacks of earth which
was taken from seven different sections of
the State. The amount received from
eacli section is enough to fill eight two-
bushel boxes with soil. These boxes,
about sixty in number, are to be placed
side by side and receive the same amount
of sun and water. In each box there will
l>e one plant of Furlong cotton, all to bo
planted at the same time. There are
eight boxes of each kind of soil, in order
to give the commissioner an opportunity
to experiment with the different kinds of
acids and fertilizers. This will be inter
esting, as showing the relative productions
of the soil of various parts of the State—
all being treated alike, with tbe same
amount of temperature, sunlight, water
and care.
Db. W. H. Mitchell, formerly
Eastman, died last Sunday at Cochran,
typhoid fever.
The Eastman Timts is responsible for
the following: “On Sunday last as tbe up
passenger train was rattliDg along by Mr.
Jordan Brown’s, about four miles below
Eastman, a large rooster happened to be
on tbe railroad track, and not seeming to
notice the approaching train until it was
within a foot of him, he jumped and
alighting ou the cowcatcher was borne
away at the rate of about twenty miles an
hour.
“Later—We leant from Mr. Brown
that the wayward fowl above referred to,
hopped off at tbe first farm house above
Mr. Brown’s about half a mile from home,
and when discovered was giving the boss
chicken on that yard “hall Columbia.”
Cutting Affhay.—We are reliably
informed that on Thursday last Joseph
H. Chambers, who for a while was con
nected with L. I. DeLamater in the clock
business, and made Eastman his head,
quarters, unfortunately got into au alter
cation with a negro at No. 6, on the Ma
con and Brunswick railroad, and severely
if not fatally stabbed him. The negro
we learn, had given him the d—n lie, and
was making for him with his knife, when
Mr. C. drew his knife {and made a suc
cessful stroke just In time to save his own
life. No blame whatever, it seems, is at
tached to Mr. C.’s action in the matter.
It was thought the negro would probably
die.

Citizens Bank of Atlanta.—The
Redater, of Thursday night, says:
It is generally known that the assignees
went to New York in order to redeem
certain bonds, notes, etc,, which were de
posited in tbe American Exchange Bank
of the city of New York as collateral se
curity for certain debts of the Citizens’
Bsnk due in that city. These collateral
securities were known to be worth more
than the debts which they secured amount
ed to, hence the desire to redeem them.
These securities consist of $52,551 of re
discounted paper, $17,124.45 of general
collateral paper, $43,000 of Atlanta 6 per
cent, bonds, and were given to secure a
debt of $37,760, aud $10,000 of Atlanta
cotton factory first mortgage bonds given
to secure a loan of $10,000; also $100,000
of Georgia iron works bonds. As will be
readily seen all these securities are good
and desirable property upon which there
can be realized almost, if not quite, tbe
face value. When the receivers arrived
in New York they ascertained tbat two
attachments bad been issued- against
these bonds, one in favor of the United
States National Bank for $2,450, and the
other in favor of the Mechanics bank of
New York for $1,125, thus preventing tbe
return of the securities until these at
tachments are satisfied. Since their re
turn Messrs. Hill and Thomson have sub
mitted a petition to the Superior court in
which they set forth the foregoing facts.

The Talbotton Georgian has the fol
lowing :
Three negroes, Cary Russell, Ed Ford
and Willis Shirly, have been confined in
the county jail to await action of the next
grand jury. On last Thursday morning,
Sheriff A. Foster went down to the jail,
opened tbe outside door, and in attempt
ing to open tbe passage door to the pris
oners’ cell, discovered tbat something was
wrong with the hinges. On forcing open
the fastening, the three negroes hav
ing prized off the hinges of the inner
door, rushed out, when the foremost one,
Cary Bussell, wss grappled by the sheriff,
who quickly knocked him down against»
pair of steps that led to the second floor.
The two other negroes, who bad been
prevented from passing by the door
opening into tbe passage, rushed out.
Ed Ford, at he passed, striking
fiber!if Foster with the heavy end of a
door hinge. The sheriff; of course, wss
powerless to prevent their eecape, suffer
ing from the lick and exhausted from
the scuffle with the negro, Russell. It
so happened on that particular morning
Sheriff Foster was not armed, tbe
only occasion on which he has ever at
tended tbe jail without being prepare^*
for any emergency. Cary Russell,
short time after his escape, was re
captured crossing tbe road on tbe west
of tbe town, byBev. J. W. Wilson, and
turned over to tbe sheriff. Tbe other
negroes are still at large. Ed. Ford was
shot at on fiaturday last, on the Water
man plantation, by Mr. A. J- Harris and
Tom Gilmer. Efforts are being made

The Cochran Enterprise shoulders the
hefty responsibility of the following dog
story: Mr. Jesse C. Donaldson, of "
upper portion of this county has tbe bra :
dog. He calls him “Sooner.” We wiP
not tell all that Sooner can do, but
he has done, which can be substantiated
j as we give tbe names of all (be parties.
^ abort time ago Jesse started from his
home to Cochran, and getting about half
way to town his mule was taken sick. No
one was with him, so be toldSooner to go
back home alter his brother, Mack Don
aldson. Sooner left ou a run and Jesse
sat down to wait results. Mack says
Sooner came to him In the field where he
was preparing some cotton land. The dog
took hold of bis pants pod tried to lead
him away; Mack knowing something
was wrong, asked the dog wliat be
wanted. Sooner ran to life mule ana
barked and lay down and rolled on the
ground and groaned, andgot up and again
tried to lead Mack off. Mack now sus
pected what was the trouble, and took his
jorse physic and went on after Sooner to
find that the mule was sick and the meal-
cine much needed. The mule took the
physic and was relieved, and the party
came on to town. Mack sent a letter sev
eral miles by Sooner to Jesse and told him
to give it to no one but his master. When
he got home Jesse was not to be found by
him, and be went to the mother of MN
and set up a bowl. When she told the
dog that Jesse had gone to Cochran, ho
immediately set out and overtaking life
master at Weeping Fine cemetery,
dropped the fetter in front of him.

Rome, Ga., May 5th, 1881
Having read tbe editorial of to day
setting forth the priority ol the Slate, of
which I am well convinced by this time,
I furthermore find that the State will
fall shortin the settlement of the assets
of the Romo Bank to the amount or
$10,000, and has therefore made assess
ment of pro rata for this amount on the
fortunate depositors of this bank, but
having lost all my cash owing to the late
freshet, and not having taken the pre
caution of having my money covered by
marine insurance, and having Invested
■he balance in cotton suits aud promissory
notes, and the People’s Oyster Bank, in
which I had mest of my funds, having
suspended for the summer season, have
therefore nothing left but my check and
bank book ou the Rome Bank. Should
this be of service to the State will for

A Singular Personal Damage Case.
The Columbus Times learns the follow
ing particulars ot a suit for personal dam
ages, from a member of the bar who has
just returned from Screven Superior
Court:
Mr. Henderson, the plaintiff, was a
member of the Legislature In 1879, and
on the night of tbe 17th of October, in
that year, lie was returning home from
the Legislature and at his own request
was safely put off the train at 6J near Sa
vannah, on the Central railroad, and a
point near his store. The night was dark
and during his absence tbe railroad au
thorities bad trimmed tbe scrub growth
from portions of the right of way, which
at tbfe point was through Henderson’s
land. In passing from the point where he
left the train to his store, ho stepped into
a dry well or ditch some three leet deep,
in which large bushes had grown and had
been cut down, leaving sharp points just
below the surface of earth, on which he
was impaled and seriously wounded,
causing intense suffering and a painful op
eration and a long illness. Henderson
was familiar with the locality, as it was
near his "store, but the bushes having
been cut down ' during life absence, be
was misled, and met with the misfortune
named. He sued the Central railroad,
and Tuesday last got a verdict for $13,00(1
against the road. A motion for a new
trial is pending. This is a singular case
and if the judgment of this court is sus
tained, it will open up anothuo line
duties to railroad companies.

A Down Town Merchant,
Having passed several sleepless nights
disturbed by the agonies and cries of a
suffering child, and becoming convinced
that Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup was
just tho article needed, procured a supply
for tho child. On reaching home and ac
quainting hfe wife with what he had done,
she refused to have it administered to the
child, as she was strongly in favor of ho
meopathy. That night the child passed
in suffering, and the parents without sleep.
Returning home tbo day following, the
father found the baby still worse; and
while contemplating another sleepless
night, the mother stepped from the room
to attend to some domestic duties, and
left the father with the child. During her
absence he administered a portion of the
Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said
nothing. That night mil hands slept well,
and the little fellow awoke in the morn
ing bright and happy. The mother was
delighted with the sudden and wonderful
change, and although at first offended at
tbe deception practiced upon her, has con
tinued to use tbe Syrup, and suffering
crying babies and restless nights have dis
appeared. A single trial of tbe Syrup
never yet failed to relieve the baby and
overcome tbe prejudices of tbe mother.

The following extract from a letter of
Mis. Tochie W. MacDouoU to Prof. Czurda,
her former musiu teacher, wilt be read
with delight by all lovers of music and
flowers. She says:
Among the Mexicans, music is an im
portant branch of study, and instrumental
music reaches, among some, a very nice
degree of perfection. Thoir singing is
simply horrid, howaver. The louder they
screech, and the more nasal tho twang, the
more music it seems to mako, and the
pleasure produced is very great—that is, to
themselves. I was very much amused at
Bishop Keener’s distress while one was
singing. This young man seems to
have more force of character
than the Mexicans as a people gen
erally have, and from various reports
made by Dr. Patterson, the bishop had
taken quite a fancy to the young gentleman,
and one evening asked to hoar him sing.
A selection from “Ernani” was chosen,
and strong lungs, powerful voice, and a
large nose all combined made the song un
bearable. Later, some one else requested
to hear tie “music of his voice,” when the
Bishop tnrne 1 to a friend with a woe-be-
gone expression on hfe face, and exclaim
ed, “Don’t let that man sing again.”
Wo have very fine music in the plazas or
parks on Sundays and feast days,furnished
jy different string and silver instruments
—tho mo-t perfect time and sweetest com
bined music I ever heard. Their selections
are from tlie best composers, and they do
justice to the conceptions of the “masters.”
When Gen. Ord.of the United States army,
was received at the “Sooalo” a band com
posed of G00 fine musicians offered their
services, receiving no compensation. Thfe

The fifty-ninth annual convention of the

at Christ Church yesterday morning, with
a full attendance of members. Tho
church was well filled and there was a
large attendance of ladies. The opening
sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Weed,
of Augusta, who made a powerful dis
course, which was listened to with great
attention. After the religious services the
convention was formally organized for
business.

The observance of these days of feasting ( Marietta; Rev. Thomas G. Pond, rector
and revelry furnishes strangers with many
opportunities fog studying the people^ and
their customs. "Among the prettiest is the
observation of the “Feast of Flowers.” Thfe
day is always celebrated on the Friday be
fore Good Friday. It seems to have been
a custom among tho Indians before Cortez
aud tho Spanish yoke awoko them from
their simple lives and rural ways. The
Spanish settlers, liowever, recognized the
beauty of this custom and united it with
theirotherdaysof feasting. It is now one of
their religious observations. Early in the
morning, as the sun rises, little Indian ca
noes sail down the canals laden with
vegetables and flowers—looking like float
ing gardens. From the gardens are they
laden, and they land a few mife3 below—
at the “Vega.” All over the city are various
men and women with these bright, red and
blue poppies for sale. This much I tell
you from hearsay, in order to give yon a
bettor idea of the whole. I will describe
our trip to the floating gardens, which
was made after the hoar for the
boats to come down. It was after nine
when wo left home, so of courso the dew
had left the flowers and many had been
sold. At the “Soealo,”the park given to the
city by the unfortunate Carlotta, there were
quantities of bandBomo bouquets and
geraniums for sale, end the venders were
busy, I assure yon. There is no class of
humanity with aa much persistence ns tlie
flower and lottery ticket vendor in the'
City of Mexico. They follow one several
squares with their articles, and only leave
when they can seize another victim. We
took the street cars here and rode ont to
tho “Vega,” about a mile from tho city.
This is a kind of drive along the canal.
We met many people rotnrmng, and all,
even the poorest woman, was enjoying her
feast, and tho poor babe in her “robosn"
was nursing his share of flowers. The
banks along the canal were sodded with
grass, and beautifully shaded by weeping
willows. Under those trees, with their
stocks of lettuce, radishes, sugar cane,
and different fruits sat the veritable
Indian squaws. With their goods arranged
with taste and caro around them,
and their persons cleaner _ than
usual,they really made on attractive picture.
The canal was studded with tho canoes that-
brought these fruits and flowers into town,
and upon these tho better classes were
amusing themselves. These little boats are
something like our bateaux at home; ex
cept in width; these, I guesp, were about
nine feet wide. They wore covered with
mate of palmetto hanging over hoops, i
our Georgia wagons aro sometimes cover
with canvas, in the country. The side
which was not exposed to tho sun was
raised and fastened with garlands of flow
ers. We took one of these unique boats
anil were piloted by a thorough Indian.
This kind of sailing was now so me, so I
will toll yon how it was managed. The old
Indian had a long polo in life hands, and
mounting the front, (it would be hard to
kuow winch was prew or stern), he planted
the pole in the earth beneath the water and
pushed it along by the strength of his mus
cles. In order to moke us move rapidly, he
would run one-third down the boat and
jerkiug the pole np, would run to the front
again planting tho pole as before. Just be
fore our eyes were tho green banks and
gaily dressed peoplo moving, as it were,
from our view. Aronnd and above all these
rose the blue and gray mountains,
giving rolief to tho bright heavens above.
Soon the people had all dfeappcaroJ, but
the green banks, green trees, blno moun
tains andbright sky were friendly with us
still. Standing at the part of the canoe
back of where wo had been sitting we had
the fall benefit of this view, while with
their protecting, fatherly core, defying sky,
trees and all, rose the snow peaks of “Popo
catepetl” and “Ixtaccihcutel.” All the ro
mance in our hearts was aroused, and
some one suggested a song to complete the
pleasure. This was immediately voted
down, as such things aro rarely done in
Mexico. Itseems queer that such pleas
ure-seeking, idle people should be so quiet
in nil their festivities. Their pleasure con
sists in looking, talking quietly, dressing
and painting for the occasion. They rare
ly laugh in publio, and never ont loud. Tho
Americans are sources of amusement to
these people in thfe respect. We rowed
two miles np the canal to the little Indian
villago “Santa Anita.” Here everything
was arrayed in holiday attire. The many
little shops and tents were all festooned,
while tho people were enjoying
this day to thoir hearts’ content.
Wo walked across the island, and
soon came in full view of the “floating gar
dens.” These gardens are not such lovely
spots as Prescott describes, though proba
bly they were in the days that the Spanish
first saw them. Now they are small beds
of earth carefully cultivated, separated
from each other by small streams of wa
ter. In earlier times they did really float,
while now they are stationary. They were lution bo adopted:

The convention reassembled at 8 o'clock,
and the proceedings were opened with re
ligious services. Reports of tho mission
ary work in the different parishes were
made by the several rectors, and were
listened to with great attention. The
convention will meet, this morning at 9
o'clock.
The convention was opened with prayer
by Rev. Messrs. Wingate and Lucas, after
which Bishop Beckwith called the con
vention to order. Tho roll call showed
there were present the delegates, clerical
and lay, who responded on Wednesday,
with the following additional members !
Rev. Messrs. Pond, Wingate and Davis
and Mr. Harold.
The finance committee presented the
following report, which was adopted:
The finance committee, to whom was
referred the circular of tlifc joint commit
tee on the expenses of deputies to the
general convention, respectfully recom
mend the.following resolution:
Resolved, That In the opinion of this
convention the expenses of the clerical
deputies to tbe general convention should
be paid by their respective dioceses, and
tbat no provision should be made for tbe
payment of the expenses of any lay dep
uties.
Resolved, That the secretary of thfe con
ventioti transmit to the said committee of
the general convention n copy of tho fore
going resolutions.
The finance committee having been in
formed by the treasurer of the fund for
the support of infirm clergymen, and of
the fund of the society for the Increase ot
the ministry, that his report, by inadver
tence, had been left at home, they, there
fore, recommend tbat tho following reso-
made by tlie Indians, and consisted of earth
packed upon rafts of timber. They
planted flowers, fruits and vegetables upon
them, and in after yearn the roots extended
down to the earth below, and by this means
each eardon became fixed in its position.
Tbfe is the tele told by tho present genera
tion, and at any rate furnishos some reason
for the name. We took another canoe,
and wore pushed through the water. The
largest garden, I suppose, is about ten
yards square, while many are much smal
ler. The city is furnished with vegetables,
principally grown here. Each garden is
owned by some old Indian or hfe squaw,
and even in these small por
tions of earth we could see the
difference in men. Some were well tilled
and were luxurious iu growth, while some
were overgrown with weeds, choking the
growth of other and more profitable vege
tation Our pilot landed us at hfe garden,
when leaving us a few minutes, gathered
for ns a beautiful profusion of “sweetpeas
and poppies.” There were no shade trees
on these islands, and we soon found the
Mexican son too hot to be kept off with
American umbrellas. So we determined to
return home. We recrosaed the island and
were ploughed down the canal, meeting
and passing gaily festoohed canoes with
more gaily dressed occupants. The scene
was beautiful, and the fresh green banks
and fragrant flowers made us almost re
gret that each day could not be a “feast of
flowers.” It is a pretty custom and one
enjoyed mainly by the village Indians, who,
aa yet, are not united to the Spaniard by
blood ties. Bat I guess I have oonsomed
aa much of your time as you can well spare
and there is plenty of work waiting for my
lazy hands and heart.
I remember you onoe said if you ware a
young man you would ootue out hare. You
might come, but I think I know you well
enough to venture to assert positively that
you would leave before long. It ie remark
able bow, this climate enervates one, and
with what rapidity we aoenatom ourselves
to the lazy ways of these people. It is al
most impossible to wish to arouse yourself
from a kind of passively accepting things
as they come, in the first place; ana in the
second place, a foreigner's health would be
wrecked at an early date if he resisted
these influences and worked as he did in hfe
native oountry. Notwithstanding all this,
it is a beautiful place and I am learning to
love it

Resolved, That in order to remedy this
unnecessary and uncalled for evil, the
treasurer of the diocesan missions is here
by authorized to go into bank and borrow,
from time to time, such sums of money as
may be needed to pay the various mis
sionaries, quarterly, in advance.
On motion of Col. Harrison, the foilow-
ineresolution was adopted:
Resolved, Tbat a special committee of
five, three laymen aud two clergymen, be
appointed to report to the next convention
the feasibility of establishing a female
school within the diocese under the aus
pices of the church.

The Bishop then read his annual ad
dress, which was quite lengthy, and in
which he recommended, among other
matters, the Church Times, published at
Atlanta, as will be seen by extract in the
advertisement which appears elsewhere.
Ou motion of Governor Conley, such
portions of the address as touched upon
missions were referred to the committee on
missions. The rest was referred to the
committee on the state of the. church.
The Rev. Mr. Pond presented the re-
1 >ort of the registrar of the Diocese, Mr.
iV. S. Bogart, a very interesting docu
ment, as will be seen by the following
copy:
registrar's report.
To the Convention of the Diocese of
Georgia:
Gentlemen—The work of gather
ing parish histories for preservation In
this office makes slow progress. Of the
list given In my last report of churches
and missions yet existing and ot tboso
believed to be dead, whose history will
soon be past recoverv, two or three have
responded, hut they still leave a large
number unheard from and ignoring from
year lo year not my call but tbe earnest
solicitation of the convention. Will not
the members of your body, clerical and
lay, each for himself, try during the
coming year to erase the name of his
parish or mission from thfe unwelcome
list, if it be thereon.
I number the following parish histories
in regular order from my last report:
No. 27. History of St. Mark’s Church,
Brunswick, by the rector, Rev.. Henry E.
Lucas. This paper In addition to. the
memoirs of the parish contains a list of
incumbents from the date of organization
of the church in April, 1858, and of the
length of their several cures. Thfe Is one
of those special details which I have here
tofore suggested as a proper feature in
every church record, and Is often a desir
able souice of information about the life
aud career of a clergyman.
No. 28. History of St. Paul’s Churcb,
Albany, from 1844 to its consecration,
May 10th, IS55, written and read at pub
lic worship in the church Whitsunday,
May 10th, 1880, by the rector, Rev. Thos.
G. Pond.
Thfe interesting memoir is chiefly a re
cord of Bfehop Elliott’s first three visita
tions io the parish in 1851, 1832 and 1855,
and is supplementary to No. 9 iu one list
sent mo by the same baud in 1875. The
memories of the quarter century of this
record must have warmly stirred the
hearts of his people, for by it they were
quickly stimulated to purchase a rectory,
in which a few inontns later their faithful
minister and his family were comfortably
domiciled.
No. 29. Sketch of St. Luke’s Church
and the school at Montpelier, by Louis N.
Whittle, Esq., of Macon. In thfe failhiul
record and loving tribnte to our first
Bishop’s grand, though unsupported ven
ture for Christian education, we havo
what I have long desired, the history of
the noble enterprise wisely planned and
hopefully sustained by its founder. Would
that tlie people of his diocese, for whoso
benefit it was begun, had as wisely and
freely held it up. It fell through at last,
but not until its unselfish founder had
sacrificed his library and bis pecuniary
means in tbe vain hope of saving it. Tho
record of thfe patient effort, made perhaps
too soon in the history of tho diocese,
comes from the pen of one who was cog
nizant of all the facts, and was an active
and sympathizing coadjutor with hfe
Bishop in tbe long years ot Ills struggle.
The parish history ot the mother church
of the diocese—Christ Churcb, Savannah
—is, I am happy to say, about to be taken
in band by its rector, Rev. Thomas Boone.
He informs me tbat he has found a num
ber of parish documents of tbe past i evo
lutionary period, and in additiou, he pos
sesses a nearly complete set of vestry
minutes from the year 1783 downward.
These he hopes to arrange in the coming
summer, and from them to supplement
the parish’s early history as given in Bish
op Stephens’ semi-centennial sermon, by
detailing tlie growth ami progress, ami its
multiplied works of charity in the century
that has followed. Such a paper, founded
on contemporary documents, and prepar
ed with the care and exactness to be ex
pected from the author, will be tho most
valuable contribution thfe office has yet
received.
i From an interesting Incident related to
me by the rector from the vestry minutes,
we cau re a i/.e how isolated this parish
was a century ago, and how
slowly church changes then took
place. It grew ont of the adoption of tlie
American Prayer Book in general conven
tion October 10, 1789, to come into use in
a year afterward, and thfe old mother
church in Georgia, not unnaturally, deci
ded for itself tbe question of Us use. So
three or lour years later (the wonder is
why it was not done in 1790), we fiud the
following minutes of the vestry meeting,
cailed apparently for this very purpose :
“At a meeting ot the vestry held on tlie
Kith December, 1793, present Sir George
Houstoun, Joseph Clay, Jr. Wardens, N.
W. Jones, W. Stevens, G. Jones, R. Bol
ton, vestry, resolved, tbe common prayer
book of the Protestant Episcopal Churcb
in the United States, ratified by a conven
tion of tbe said Church, and made of force
on tbe 1st October, 1790, be adopted for
the present by thfe churcb, subject to sucli
alterations aa shall hereafter be agreed
upon by tbe officiating minister of Christ
church and tbe vestry thereof. •
"Resolved, That Mr. Clay, Jr., assist
(the Rev.) Mr. Ellington in makiDg such
alterations as they may approve, which
alterations shall be reported to the vestry
at their next meeting.”
We hare no record of any “alterations
agreed upon” either then or afterwards,
and so we conclude that tbe book on trial
commended itself to tbe rector, vestry and
parishioners.
Tbe exchange of journals with our
sister dioceses continues as usual, and to
tbe benefit of us all.
Under instruction of a resolution of the
last convention, 1 have forwarded to Mr.
E. W. Chapman, secretary aud treasurer
of tbe church council of the Episcopal
Church iu Scotland, our diocesan journals
and other church documents for tbe last
fifteen years. I shall follow these with
subsequent journals as they shall be pro
of that branch of Christ Church.
To the readers of the convention journal
there is uotning to indicate the respective
ages of tbe parishes, the names of the lo
calities being arranged for convenience
sake alphabetically. As a matter ot use
ful information, would it not be well in
publishing tbe journal to affix to tha
names of each church en the list of par
ochial reports in the appendix the date of
tbe parish organization.

The Only True Malarial Antidote!
Dr. Holman’s Pad is no guosR-work torn-
edy—no feeble imitative experiment—no
purloined hodge-podge of some other in
ventor’s ideas; it is tho original and only
Genuine Cnrative PAD, the only remedy
that has an honestly acquired right to use
the title word “PAD” in connection with a
treatment for chronic diseases of the Stom
ach, Liver and Spleen.
By a recently perfected improvement, ef
fected by tlie addition of vegetable ingre
dients of newly discovered remedial value
and adsorptive adaptability, Dr. Holman
has greatly increased tho scopo of tho Pail's
usefulness and appreciably augmented its
active curative power.
This great improvement gives Holman s
Pad (with its adjuvants) complete and un
failing control over the most persistent and
unyielding forms of chronic diseaso of the
Stomach and Liver, as well as malarial
blood-poisoning.
Holman’s Pads have cured, and are daily
curing, diseases of so many kinds that tlie
list is well nigh interminable. It includes
Malarial Poison of every type, from aching
bones and low fevers to chills and dumb
ague; Stomach Diseases, such as dyspepsia,
indigestion, soar stomach, chronic diar
rhoea, flatulency, heartburn, etc., etc.; Liver
Disorders, like biliousness, bilious colic,
dangerous fevers, sick headache, pains in
the side, bilious fevers, torpid hver, eto,
etc. Well does thfe mighty remedy justify
the eminent Prof. Loonis’ high encomium:
“It is nearer a Universal Panacea than any
tiling in medicine.”
The bucccss of Holman’s Pads has in
spired imitators who offer Pads similar in
form and odor to tho genuine Holman Pad.
Beware of these bogus and imitation .Pad^
gotten np only to sell on the reputation of
the genuine Holman Pad.
Each genuine Holman Pad bears the pri
vate revenue stamp of the Holman 1 ad
Company, with tho above Trado-Mark
printed in green.
For sale by all first-class druggists, or
sent by mail, post-paid, on receipt of i'k
