ftlHJ UNION & RECORDER. Augusta Letter. Augusta, Ga. > Dec. 10, 1886) Editors Union-Rkcorder: The Methodist Conference has ad journed and left behind three of .Au ^usta’s most popular preachers. Gen. C A. Evans will remain at St. James, Rev. Mr. Stipe at Asbury, and Rev. A G. Wardlaw at the Broad Street Missibn. We all wish that Mr. Bon ner the beloved pastor of St. Duke, had been retained by his church in a field that he has cultivated with such success. Dr. Roberts has been ap pointed pastor of St. John, and Rev. Mr Allen has been assigned to St. Luke. Our Methodist brethren are happy, and everybody else is satisfi- **The Baptist Church was well filled last Sunday afternoon by a congrega tion eager to hear the Rev. Sam Jores preach. It was the first time that your correspondent ever saw or heard the great evangelist. He ut tered no new truths; he said nothing very original. It strikes me that his power lies not so much in what he says as the way in which he says it. One moment he will make you so sad that you’ll feel like weeping, and in the next breath he will say something so funny that you’ll almost split your side with laughter. I doubt if he would make a very acceptable pastor for a *'fashionable church.” The church would soon cease to be “fash ionable,” or Sam Jones would soon leave them without a pastor. He has his mission; and though at times his language is “coarse” and his manner “unrefined”, fewer crowns in the spir it Land will have more diadems than that of Sam Jones. # j Yesterday’s News and Courier con tained a sensational article in refer ence to the Augusta Savings Bank of this city, one of our most flourishing institutions. Mr. Alfred Baker is President, and Capt. J. S. Bean is Cashier of the Bank. Mr. Bean has been confined to his bed for several weeks past with nervous prostration, caused, it is said by over work. Only a few davs ago he left for Oxford, Ga., for the purpose of recuperating his wasted energies. His absence, to gether with several wild rumors float ing about the streets, created a sus picion in the minds of a few that something was wrong at the Bank. The affair is considerably mixed up, but the President announces that the whole thing is nothing more than a sensation. Mr. Thomas Bean, broth er of the Cashier, and the correspon dent of the News and Courier had a slight altercation yesterday after noon. The former avers that he will hold the News and. Courier responsi ble for giving publicity to false and malicious rumors. Capt. J. S. Bean is a young man, who for years past, has held the confidence and esteem of a host of friends. He was for a long time Captain of the Clinch Rifles, and while at the head raised the standard of his -'company to the greatest effi ciency it has attained since the war. He was for years a recognized leader among the young men of our city, and thev all seemed pleased to do him honor. It is to be hoped that he will soon return and satisfactorily prove that the rumors affecting his charac ter are altogether false. Another effort is being made to re organize the Young Men’s Christian Association. The meeting for this purpose will be held m the Chapel of the First Baptist church this night at 7:30 o'clock. Mess. W. C. Sibley, Jas. F. Bothwell and Dr. J. M. Hull, are most prominent in the movement. It is to be hoped that the new asso ciation will avoid the mistakes of the old, do more good, and live much longer, Let it really be what its name implies, a Christian Association, and not a Society for a few favored ones to air their special talents. Let it be an association to reform all kinds and classes of young men—the illiter ate as well as the learned, the poor as well as the rich. Another election will soon be upon us. Our people are notified that an Among our Exchanges. I PATENTS GRANTED election will ’ be held on the 5th of January next, for the several county officers.* There are already two can didates in the field for Sheriff, Col. Wilberf rce Daniels the present en cumbent and Capt. Charles Richard, his old opponent. For Clerk of the Superior Court, Hon. W. E. Keener, the present efficient encumbent, is opposed by Messrs. G. L. McMurphy, and H. L. Hayes. The latter is the gentleman who opposed Mr. Keener for Council a few days ago. As the coming election will not be confined to the voters of a certain ward, it is predicted that Mr. Keener will sweep the field with a handsome majority. For Receiver of Tax Returns, Mr. Chas. Hollingsworth, the present en cumbent, will be opposed by Messrs. W. J. Steed and C. M. Wilkinson. Uncle JohnBohler, our Tax Collector, and Capt. Geo. Adam, our popular Treasurer, have no opposition. It would be a hard matter for any one to defeat either of these gentlemen. Mr. Bohler will no doubt die in the office he now holds, and Capt. Adam is strong with the people, and has made such a fine record. The candi dates are all busy and the excitement will gradually increase. The election for Ordinary will not be held within two years, but already the names of several gentlemen have been mention ed in connection with that office. It’s a glorious (?) privilege to be a voter, but much more so to be a candidate. Houghton. Snow was reported to be 16 to 20 inches deep in Gainesville on the 8th.

Her white hair is now turning black: two inches or more next to the scalp is now perfectly black.

It is said that the public has paid for Appleton’s “American Cyclopoe- dia” in its various editions, including annual supplements, nearly $15,000,- 000. The number of sets sold is 129,- 000, aggregating 2,600,000 volumes. The population of Atlanta accord ing to an enumeration just had by Norwood, Connelly & Co., directory publishers, is 60,846, of which 41,904 are white, and 18,743 are colored.

On Sunday before, her daughter, Miss Alice, died, it is thought, of the same disease. The remains of the two •were interred in the cemetery at Pop lar Springs church.—Irwinton South erner. The world has suffered a loss in the death of Mr. John E. Owens, the com edian. He was a conspicuous charac ter of that bright galaxy that lignted the world to a laugh. They dismiss ed the cares of life for a brief season, at least, and tired nature feels strong er to resume the burdens it has laid aside. To make others laugh is a no ble mission in this life.—Albany News. Another year has demonstrated the fact that farmers can’t profitably make an outlay of 8 cents per pound in order to have a few bales of 8 cent cot ton to sell at the end of the year. If they will give next year to provision crops, and buy an average crop of cotton at the end of the year, they will find it an improvement on the prevailing method. By buying the crop ready-made, much trouble will be avoided and the margin for profits will not be a whit lessened.—Ishmae- lite. The Georgia House of Representa tives has 175 members. Of this num ber 88 are farmers, 48 lawyers, 19 mer chants, 11 doctors, 4 teachers, 2 edi tors, 1 salesman, 1 accountant and 1 mechanic. The farmers have a clear majority of one over the whole num ber, or what is known in the House as a “constitutional majority.” By uniting solidly to a man they can pass any measure they want to, and it requires exactly 88 votes to pass a bill if there are but 89 men in the House at the time of the voting.— Marietta Journal.

Hope is always sweet; for if the object one hopes for be not attained, a true heart will hope for better things. It always hopes against hope, and this is a species of happiness. Anticipation brings pleasures; realizing is often disappointing. Disappointment make men strong. Is it not, therefore, best to live hopefully? “When does a woman think the most of her husband?” asked some one.
