—The crib of Mr. J. T. Reeves,
on the Hill place/ 3J miles north
east of Perry, was * destroyed by
fire last Saturday night, incladine
100 bashelsof corn and-ab vnt 1400
pounds of fodder. Mt. Reeves
says the fire was inside, that the
door of the crib had been broken
open, and the fire started purpose
ly. No positive clue to th°incen
diary has yet been obtained.
One of the best sermons ever
delivered in the Perry Methoiist
church was heard by a large'con
gregation last Sunday morning.
Before the benediction, Rev. T.
W. Darley, the pastor, told the
congregation that after that day he
would probably not preach again
in that church. In explanation he
said he came to Perry against his
will, being convinced that because
of differences of opinion held by
prominent members of the church
and himself, it woald have been
better for the charch that another
pastor should be in charge. Being
still of that opinion, he had request
ed the presiding elder of this dis
trict to secure his appointment to
another charge next year. As ex
pressing his sentiments, he an
nounced as the closing hymn, “God
be With Ton till we meet again.
No sach announcement had ever
before been made in that church,
and the congregation received it
with sorrow, tbongh the official
members knew of their pastor’s be
lief and decision. There was no
saggestion other than kindness and
devotion to daty in the-announce
ment, and in the same spirit
it was received, though not a few
believe the minister is mistaken.
However, with such conviction, and
with the request for removal to an
other charge, it seems to ns to be
the clear duty of the conference to
accede to the request of Rev. T. W.
Dariey.
Just here, we desire to say that
there is no particle of evidence to
show that a mistake was made ia
appointing Rev. T. W. Darley to
the pastorate of the Perry charge.
He has served the churches of
the charge faithfully and well, the
iucre&e iu membership having
been greater this year than for any
other within three or four years
If the pastor has been objections
blein any degree to any member of
tbe Perry charch, we have not seen
nor heard anything to indicate it
In fact, we have not heard a word
of unkind criticism as a pastor,
preacher, Christian or man. Mr.
Darley has certainly not been ob
jectionable, and he has not failed
in the performance of duty. If
there be shown any decrease in
the amount of money collected, the
fault cannot in any degree be
chargeable to. the pastor.
Oar people regret exceedingly
that Mr. Darley has felt impelled
to ask for removal from Perry, and
in their behalf we insist that he is
mistaken, and we repeat that he
has not been mistreated in any de
gree. The kindest regards and
best wishes of onr people will be
with him continually.
A Surgical Operation.
Drs. J. B. Edge, H. M. Holtz
claw, and R. L. Cater and C. F.
Cooper amputated Mr. Hardy Pow
ell’s left leg last Monday morning.
The leg was cut just above the
knee, the operation occupying ex
actly 58 minutes.
The patient yielded readily to
the anesthetics administered, and
recovered easily after the opera
tion was finished.
Within two hoars afterward, he
asked for food.
Since youth, more than 15 years,
Mr. Powell has suffered from an
-ulcerated sore on his left leg, con
siderably below the knee. At least
a year ago, Drs. Edge and Holtz
claw advised the amputation, of
the leg, and offered to do the work.
The operation of last Monday
was successful in every.* 1 particular,
and reflects credit upon the physi
cians engaged;
Mr. Powell is about 40 years old,
and on acconnt of the diseased leg,
has been confined to his bed fally
a year.
It is believed that he will recov
er.

—Thanksgiving Day was'antici-
pated at Perry Pablic School. The
program of exercises for that occa
sioD was rendered as published, on
Wednesday afternoon. The chil
dren were evidently in thankful
mood, and the patrons and friends
attending were nicely entertained;
.Evidently tbe pupils were extra
thankful for the holiday they had
been promised—Thanksgiving day.
—After contending several days,
tbe insurance men who came to
Perry last week to adjnst tha dam
age to Mr. W. D. Day’s stock of
goods, caused by the;recent fire in
bis store, returned to their homes
in Macon and Atlanta. There was
a wide difference of opinion con
cerning the amount of damage, and
an effort was made to arbitrate,
but objection was made to every
third man suggested. Mr. Day
opened his store and resumed bnsi
ness last Friday, after the loss of a
week. The matter may be carried
into conrt for settlement. We un
derstand Mr. Day has insurance on
bis goods in five companies. The
damage to the store was easily ad
justed.
“Womau in society is like a flow
er blown in its native bed; ’tis
there alone her faculties expanded
in full bloom shine out; there only
reach their proper use.”
The above, taken from Cowper, is
changed some in diction, but the
sense and gist are the same.
The true meaning of society is
the cultivated portion of a comma-
aid; companionship. Cowper cer
tainty understood it so when he
wrote the above paragraph. Wo
man has stepped npon a plane of
broader, higher experience and
possibilities. Tbe thinking, read
ing world must admit that woman
is no longer the weaker vessel, in
tellectually. Clubs, federations and
congresses are the signs of tbe
times. Women of the small cities
and towns have caught the inspi
ration, and so it will be bat a few
years before the whole lump will
be leavened, and woman, as a
whole will be a power of intellect
as well as culture and refinement,
The thought above was called
forth by a recent meeting of the
Thursday Afternoon Club of our
city at the home of Mrs. John
Hall. The Club is growing not on
ly iu membership, but socially and
intellectually. This was fully dem
onstrated at the last meeting,where
each member contributed some
thing from her own store of knowl
edge to the good and benefit of
others.
“Blest be that spot where cheer
ful guests retire, Blest b9 those
feasts with plenty crowned.” This
certainly applies to tha gentle
hostess. Her charming curtesy and
Cordiality, imposed one with the
fact that Mrs. Hall is a perfect
hostess.
The refreshments, fit for the
gods were delightful, and they
were served in a manner to be imi
tated.
Mrs- Hall is surely an acquisi
tion to any Club or Society.

Affairs AD out Dennard.
The Dennard correspondent of
the Macon Telegraph furnishes the
fellowing news items:
Probably more wheat, oat3 and
rye have been sown than in auy
year since 1870.
Cane mills and evaporators have
been basy for several weeks and
have Dot finished grinding the cine
crop, which was donbtless the lar
gest ever grown in this section.
Farming next year will be done
on an entirely different scale from
this year. A majority of planters
will adopt the share system in lieu
of wages.
Editor Henry Smith of Cordele
spent Sunday and Monday with
relatives around Dennard.
Mrs. W. L. Colyer will spend
several weeks with her parents at

Mr. H. E. Talton, one of the

—Thanksgiving day was proper
ly observed in Perry, except that
the number of men attending the
services at church was smaller than
the number out bunting birds.
The business of every protestant
citizen of the town was suspended
daring the day. During the nsnal
morning hoar there was a special
thanksgiving union service at the
Methodist charch. The congrega
tion was large, while the sermon
by Rev. W. Owings and the 6ongs
were decidedly good, and heard
with attentive pleasure. The floral
decorations were pretty.

BY THE JUDGE.
The Houston Hojie Joubnal
has the reputation, and justly so,
of being one of the best edited
conntry weeklies in the state, and
it will be too bad if a lot of form
ers get mixed np in its business
management and spoils it. We
hope you won’t allow any sach
thing. Continue to use the paper
after yoar own fashion, and doubt
less a good majority of its patrons
will be satisfied. We won’t ob
ject to your farming as much as
you like, for while it is generally
agreed that all newspaper men can
farm successfully on paper, it is
doubtful whether many farmers
coaid manage a paper.
It is advisable for newspaper
men to deal in theories, when they
undertake to enlighten the farmer,
but unfortunately there is a class
of writers who write for farm jour
nals who state theories as facts
when they have but little practical
knowledge of the subject, causing
those, that they woald instract to
test their impracticable theories at
a great loss.
Crops are nearly all gathered in
this section, there still remaining
some scattering cotton, a few fields
of corn and some sugar cane.
The cane crop this year was the
largeat ever raised. The mill men
claim the yield of syrup to the
gallon of juice is aboat 20 per cent
less than last year.
Probably more small grain has
baen or will be sown daring tbs
season than in any season since
the war. Some are sowing wheat
who have never sown before. The
hog crop is not so promising; I
hear of cholera in some places.
Mr. H. E. Talton one of the most
progressive farmers of this section
has lost many hogs with a disease
which if not cholera is just as fatal.
He- has about 50 affected, many of
them intended to be killed for pork.
This is very discoaraging, as it has
been only about three years since
he 1 ost all of his bogs with the
same disease.
