It becomes the duty of the Xfavs
and Anvr.RTijiEii Ibis morning to
chronicle the most destructive lire
that has been witnessed in Albany for
years—since the inemorahlu confiagra-
tion of 18CG, perhaps, when at» entire
Mock of business houses was con
sumed. At about II o’clock on Sun
day niglit fire was discovered in the
pantry or store room of .1, Vcntnlctr#
restaurant over hi# well-known and
popular ••Rialto’’ saloon on Washing
ton street. The fire was
FIRST DISCOVERED
by some young gentlemen, whose
room adjoined the restaurant, and
when the alarm was given no sign
’ of the llame could he seen from
; the outside, so that it was some tiuiir
j before the locality of the lire was
i known except to those in its immedi
ate vicinity.

and on the North bay a large two-
story brick building occupied by Mark
• Thompson’s harbor shop, A. Sterne's
grocery store and the Post Office, on
the first llior, and by Itr. Osborn and
■ others on the second floor. When the
fire department first reached the place
the flames were still ion lined to the

the restaurant apartment*. '•Tlii'n: -

came impossible to get up another

COItmtKWB NOTES.
Rev. A. M. William* closes his sec
ond year with the congregation amid
the encomiums of everybody. He
has for several weeks been greatly in
terested for the cutcrtaimcnt of the
Conference, and now secs his labors
all blessed with highly expressed ap
preciation upon the part of the preach
ers of the hospitality they receive, and
with fine impressions made upon our
people by the preachers. Every house
hold in which the members are guests
arc delighted with them. In this con
nection wc woutd say that the whole
congregation would bo unanimously
willing to receive Mr. Williams for
their pastor another year.
PAINE INSTITUTE.
This is the training school that is
being imugarated in Augusta, Ga^
under tho presidency , of the Rev.
Morgan Callaway, D. D., for years
post Professor of English and Vice-
President of Emory College, Oxford,
Go. This school Is specially design
ed for the training of preachers and
teachers in connection with the
colored Methodist Episcopal Church,
which is a branch of African Method
ism, established by the General Con
ference of tho Methodist Church,
South. Paine Institute is established
in accordance with the unanimous
action of the late General Conference.
Rev. Dr. James E. Evans is the gen
era! commissioner, or agent, to collect
funds for the equipment* of the new
college. This is an enterprise of the
entire Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, and is worthy the best efforts
of this great orgauization. While
specially connected with the colored
Blethodist Episcopal Church and par
ticularly designed for the training of
preacher* and teachers, it contem
plate* the interests of the entire negro
race in the South. It deserves the con
sideration of patriotic citizens, who
must, if they are wise, recognize the
necessity of preparing the freedmen
for their duties of citizenship; it will
command the co-operation of philan
thropists and Christians, whose prin
ciples pledge them to aid every laud
able endeavor to lift up and love all
races of men.
As it seems to us, this work can be
best done by competent Southern
teachers. We congratulate the friends
of Paine Institute upon securing so
eminently fit a man as Dr. Callaway
for tho presidency of tlie iicw col
lege. Born, reared and educated in
Georgia, and identified with every
good thing peculiar to Ihe South, and
with long and successful experience in
college work, he comes to bis difficult
and delicate undertaking with the
conviction of a man who gives him
self to-what he believes to be bis prov
idential vocation. Dr. Callaway ia a
graduate of the University of Georgia,
and was a gallant officer in the artil
lery service of the Confederate arnty.
His address before the Conference on
Friday was eloquent, impressive and
in the liest taste.

JAMBS CALLAWAY, EOiTO
CAMILLA, GA n ----- DEC. 22.
—Of course wo went up to Albany
on Sunday to bear the Bishop preach.
Quito a number from Camilla went
to hear him; end they were not dis
appointed. For an old man, tho ocr-
mon was a remarkable one. It was
rich in thought, well illustrated, full
of tender feeling. Tho old Bishop
knows, too, how to hold on audi
ence. Wo wish wo had space to
give a synopsis of tho sermon. .
batty abounded in hospitality, and
tho Camilla people wero cordially
Invited to partake of It. The writer
was taken in charge .by Jo o W
Walters, where wc fouud good cheer
and a host or gonial preachers. In
the afternoon Dr. Haygood preached.
Ills discourse was such as was ex
pected from such a man. Dr. Hay.
good is ono of tho grand men of
Georgia. In his Bcrmon hs express
ed Jhimsclf as opposed to llii* way of
tormenting people over tho defini
tions of the Bible. Who conld de
fine holinessi Wc know a holy
man from a bad man, but cannot
define holiness. Wc cannot meas
ure space. The Doctor said
“do not worry rite people with the
metaphysics of the scripture*.’’
Wo wero tolling our old friend,
Judge Cullens, of thte part of Dr.
Haygood s sermon. “Tho Doctor is
right,” said ho. “I have never
Joyed religion ss much since I have
hod so much of the ‘metaphysics’ of
tho Bible beat into me. Why, I was
happier religiously, when I was a boy
and preached sermons over dead
chickens, with the little niggers
around as mourners.”
At night wo went to hear Rev.
Morgan Callaway at the Baptist
xhurcb. His sermon was one of
those sweet, attractive, practical gos
pel sermons, which fills ono with the
desire to do something for the Mas
ter. Dr. CaBaway did not ride a
furious war-horse at fall speed,
charging hero and there; but his
sermon led to reflections upon the
Christian’s duty iu a gentler way.
“Heal the sick, cast out devils, raise
the dead.” His exposition of this
theme made the Christian’s life one
of work—he had something to do-
had to live for others and not simply
for himself.
Dr. Callaway is a living example
of bis text. Recently he has agreed
to take the presidency of a colored
college at Augusta. The object is
to give the negroes a purer and bet
ter ministry. It ‘takes moral cour
age to do what Dr. Callaway Is un
dertaking. The man who does it Is
a hero!
The preaching all over for the
Sabbath, we were gathered around
tho fireside of our host when
alarm of Jlre was given.
The result of that fire our readers
know. It was to be regretted that
the accident happened to the new
glne. Somebody lacked presence
of mind. The negroes did wclL
Looking at our watch

4 o’clock, so we came
home, but not without
greL Our kind host had for break
fast that most royal of things good
to cat — “turkey-hash” — and,
as we dosed In the car,
we would dream- of that
key hash, and feel that we
had lost an opportunity never to be
recalled. We wanted to remain In
Albany Monday to peep into Mrs.
Bacon’s art gallery. It was much
visited during the session of con
ference and much enjoyed by the
preachers. Wc heard words of
praise about the pictures or draw
ings of our Mitchell girl*.who are
pupils of Mrs. Bacon. Albany want
ed to keep Mr. Williams. He ought
to christen that beantlfnl new par
sonage, and we trust he may. But
it is sold the action of the Bishop’s
council Is as uncertain as the ver
dict of a petty jury. The conference
waa a fine looking body of men, and
he who failed to attend lost much
indeed.
