We were pleased to greet upon our streets last Saturday, our old Ken tucky’ friend, Mr. J. A. Bybee. He is here, we presume, to spend the Fall. Dr. Mark Johnston of Putnam county was in the city last Saturday. He is offering a house and lot on Wayne street for sale, cheap. He gives correct figures. See his adver tisement. Mr. Sol. Barrett has purchased from Mr. P. J. Cline the pretty lot on the corner of Jefferson and Green streets opposite the Methodist church, and will erect thereon, three or four hand some residences. Senator and Mrs. Colquitt were in the city last week, visiting the family of Capt. Newell. We regret to learn that their daughter, Mrs. Newell, lias been quite sick. We presume she has recovered, or is much better, as her parents left for home the latter part of the week. 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. Kollinshead, Joe Wootten, Mrs. E. E. Bell, Mrs. S. D. Wootten and Mrs. W. A. Massey. At the fourth quarterly conference of the M.

Hines 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. C. P. Crawford. T. O. Powell, J. Caraker, W. T. Conn, J. J. Wootten. 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. Merriwether, Ga., > Sept. 25,1886.) Editors Union A Recorder : Better to be born lucky than rich. Another big melon this week, Mr. Editor.

Haygood went to Eatonton last night to inspect the Putnam Rifles. 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 home. He stated that there .was a 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.
