Rev. J. D. Hammond preached his
farewell sermon at the Methodist
church last Sunday night. The church
was filled with people and universal
sadness was manifested. The old
church has had many able, good men
to go in and out before them, in her
past history, but none perhaps, ever
came more fully up to ministerial
duty in all its requirements.
At the Methodist church conference
held last Sunday morning, the follow
ing committee was appointed to se
cure homes for the delegates to the
Holiness convention which meets in
this citv on the lltli of October next :
W. T. Conn, C. P. Crawford, G. W.

was elected district steyvard, and W. T.
Conn and J. C. Hinton, Sunday school
superintendents.
We neglected in our last issue to no
tice the return to Milledgeville of Mr.
Rufus W. Roberts, son of Mr. Rufus
Roberts, who has been absent for
some three years or more completing
his education. He lias been a stu
dent at the University of Va., where
he recently graduated and has return
ed to this city we learn to enter upon
the practice of law. We wish him
success in his entrance upon the se
rious business of life. His advantages
have been excellent and he starts out
well equipped for life's battles.
Our people will learn with deep re
gret that Rev. J. D. Hammond will
leave our city in a few days. He has
been transferred to the Missouri con
ference and assigned to the First
Methodist church in St. Louis. Mr.
Hammond is one of the ablest preach
ers and most efficient pastors in this
State. During his short stay in our
midst he has won the admiration of all
our citizens and the devoted love of
his own flock. The prayers of good
people will follow him to his new field
of labor. Rev. Mr. King of Hancock
circuit has been appointed by the pre
siding elder to fill Mr. H’s pastorate
of the Methodist church in this city.
Misses Marie and Leila Carew of
Charleston, have been for three or
four weeks visiting the family of Capt,
DeSaussure at the Asylum. They
were here at the time of the earth
quake, and suffered all the pain of
suspense and apprehension concern
ing the safety of their friends in that
ill-fated city, during the suspension of
intercourse with it, which was the lot
of all Charlestonians in a similar situ
ation. They finally learned that their
friends were all preserved from bodily
harm.
These ladies made some most excel
lent sacred music at the Presbyterian
church during the morning service
la6t Sunday, and rendered most effi
cient aid to the regular choir.
REV. J. D. HAMMOND.
At the church conference, held at the
Methodist church, after service, last
Sunday morning, the following re
port, made by a compiittee from the
quarterly conference, was adopted:
Dear Brethren:—Suddenly, with
out a suspicion even, we are called up
on to give up our beloved Pastor, and
his no less beloved wife. The Bishop
has ordered him to Sfc. Louis, and
promptly, though sadly, he responds.
Our hearts are sad,"as those who
are bereft of a treasured blessing.
Calamity seems to impend our espe
cial Zion. A few months ago, he came
to us (the Bishop sent him,) and we
hailed him as sent of God. And so
he was, if our Episcopal Methodism
be true. Patiently and wisely he
gathered up the disorganized ele
ments of a church, strong in individ
ual piety, moulded them into a meas
ure of discipline and order, promising
much larger development, and hap
piest results in the end. We hoped
that a full term of four years would
be allotted him here, that his work
might be completed and this church
compacted for many years of effec
tive service. In our disappointment
is it well to murmur or repine at this
Providence? Nay, let us rather re
joice at this tribulation, though with
brimming tears, for this were accord
ing to the Spirit of Christ, and if we
have not the Spirit of Christ, we are
none of his.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
South, is a unit, the same in Missour
and in Georgia, and it is ours. The
Episcopacy and the Itinerancy are the
vital principles cf its polity. These
have filled every Methodist pulpit and
given work to every Methodist preach
er, whilst other preachers and pulpits
have been idle and vacant. These
have given us good preachers and
faithful pastors, hitherto; and “shall
not he that giveth also take
away?” Such was its polity and pol
icy, before we voluntarily joined it,
and under these it has given the world
exhibitions of achievement, unprece
dented since the days of the Apostles
Shall we not be zealous to “keep and
not to change” the law? Shall our sel
fishness fret against its approved wis
dom? Should we not, so, be found
fighting against God? If we be Meth
odists in truth, as in name, let us say
Amen to this providence, and bid
him, whom live love, Godspeed to
larger harvests, to the glory of <
common King. Calamity does not,
in truth, impend our Zion, if we be
faithful. The Lord of the harvest is
our dependence. We will best exhibit
a generous gratitude for His past mer
cies and secure blessings for the fu
ture, by taking to our hearts Bro.
Hammond's successor, and cheering
him in the labors, to which he is call
ed among us. As Methodists, as
Christians, we will do it, God help
ing us.
Brethren: We would give expres
sion to our grief—to your grief—to
the community’s grief,"at this unex
pected removal of our Pastor. But
words fail us. His life has been
benediction among us. Its memory
will be a sweet savor, indeed.
Strong men and devoted women have
wept, will weep, .at this dispensation.
But—it is the Lord’s will, and His
holy will be done. May the abound
ing blessings of our Father attend
him—them—as our prayers and hearts
will—where duty calls.

Rev. Dr. Jesse Boring, presiding
elder of the Augusta District has
been in this city several days hold
ing the 4th quarterly meetings of the
M. E. Church. He preached on Sat
urday and Sunday mornings. He is
79 years of age, and while his nerves
are unsteady and his eyesight dim.
he enjoys good health, his mental
force is undiminished, and he preach
es with great power. His subject on
Sunday morning was the “Sufferings
of Christ.” He held that Christ laid
down his life for the sins of the world.
He died on the cross, but not of the
•cross. The cruel Jews did not put
him to death; his death commenced
in the garden of Gethsemane, and
ended on the cross—produced by, to
us, an incomprehensible anguish for
the sins of the world, and thus was
made the Atonement whereby men
may be saved. He commanded the
close attention of his congregation
for an hour and a half.
According to the predictions of
Wiggins an earthquake will occur to
morrow that will bring us all before
the great White Throne. We believe
the end of time is not yet; but sup
pose it was the last day. Reader are
you prepared? The last day will cer
tainly come to us all: when, we know
not. To be prepared is the only true
wisdom. However wicked a man may
be he expects to make some prepara
tion for that awful hour. Now is the
accepted time. We know not what a
day may bring forth.
The Board appointed
pose, will, about the 1st
for tlie pur-
of October,
select the location for the school of
Technology. Athens has offered $35,-
000; Atlanta, $50,000; Macon has made
a liberal offer in property and money.
Milledgeville has made, in our opin
ion the most advantageous offer.
The commission has not yet inspected
the property offered by this city. Of
course they will visit all the cities
contesting for the prize. $50 000 will
not buy much property in Atlanta.
Mr. Byrd Brown has been very sick
for a week or more in Eatonton. His
wife who joined him on being inform
ed of his sickness and nursed him,
was herself taken sick. They came
down on the train however, yesterday
inorning, and it is to b6 hoped they
will both be restored speedily to good
health again.
Rev. Benj. L. Baker of Monticello,
Fla,, preached a most excellent ser
mon at the Presbyterian church last
Sunday morning. He and his son,
who have been visiting friends in this
city, left for their home yesterday
morning.
Music Simplified.
The great art of music, (the hardest
of sciences to overcome—an art that
almost requires a. life .time to master,
coupled with patience and endurance,
and in fact but few have ever accom
plished so wonderful a feat,) is so sim
plified, that a mere child of the tender
age of 10 years, can with 20 minutes
practice or instructions, with our
Famous Organ Key Boards, play
an accompawent to almost any
song ; The beauty and simplicity of
this invention commends itself to all
mu sic-loving people, for everybody
that sings can now play their own ac-
compaments, a long felt want. Messrs*
J* W. Burke A Go’s. Music House,
Macon, Ga., having bought the State
right to quite a number of counties,
Baldwin included, will send their rep
resentative, Mr. T. J. Anderson, over
this week (with a horse and •wagon) to
canvass our section, in the mean while
parties wishing to see this new inven
tion or buy an instrument, can leave
their address at Mr. C. L. Case's drug
store, and Mr. Anderson will call on
them. These key boards are not for
sale however, but are given away
with each organ sold. Messrs. Burke
& Co., need no recommendation from
us. They are well known. The Pianos
and Organ s they handle can be relied
upon, anil parties wishing to buy
should consult Mr. Anderson. They
will find it to their interest to do so.
And remember you run no risk
buying from this house.

W. T. Conn A Co.—No mercantile
bouse in the State has made more
rapid strides than the one whose name
heads this list. Only a few years
back they were numbered among the
retail establishments of Milledgeville,
but to-day they stand in the front of
wholesale grocers. They carry every
thing to be found in their line and
guarantee prices against every other
market in the State. The merchants
of Hancock and surrounding counties
should buy their groceries of those
gentlemen.—Ishmaelite.
Dr. J, L. Walker of Wayoross Ga.,
who lived in this city for a short
time some months ago, having pre
viously lived in Wrightsville, was in
this city on Saturday on his way

good deal of typhoid and typho-mala-
rial fever in and adjacent to the place
of his present residence. He has a
brother here who is a student in our
college.
