The Episcopal Convention, held
last week, was a fine looking body.
There were many aged men in the
convention whose venerable looks
gave grace and dignity to the aesem
bly. It was also a very intelligent
body. Few denominations, if any,
surpass the Episcopal clergy in learn
iog and personal magifetlsm.
A pleasant little entertainment was
given *t the Midway Academy Thurs
day evening last by the pupils of Mrs.
Sherwood’s school. The exercises con
sisted of songs, charades and recita
tions, and was greatly enjoved by the
large audience present. The Mid
way school und°r its present kindly
and conscientious teacher is one of
the “institutions” of the village and
we hope to chronicle its continued
success.
The Asylum is a great attraction
^o visitors from abroad, and to pleas -
ure parties who wish to pass a recrea
tive day from home. It is one of
those sad, sweet treasures that, every
tender heart must cherish. Many of
those who read these lines have
had some dear friend or relative con
signed to its good care. Its present
management is as near perfect ns hu
man intelligence and a people’s gen
erosity can make it. The Institution
is open to all, at all times. But the
visitor must not expect to have admis
sion outside of rules.
The Trustees of the Georgia Normal
and Industrial college for Girls will
meet in this city on the 23rd inst. to
examine and adopt plans for the col
lege building. The appropriation by
the legislature for buildings is $35,000,
and the donation of Milledgeville
$10.000.—making $45,000. To com
mence the work at once Milledgeville
advances $12,000 for the State, in ad
dition to her donation. To raise this
money $22,000 of City Bonds will be
sold in this city next Thursday. It is
expected to have the college building
well under way before the meeting of
the next legislature.
“Take heed and beware of covetousness.
Covetousness was the subject of
Rev. J. M. White’s sermon last Sun
day morning. This gilt-edge sin is so
insidious in its approaches as to be in-
. di8cernable in one’s self, but it is
plainly visible in others. An inordin
ate desire to accumulate is the com
mon sin of the day. From the man
who enlarges his barns to hold his in
creasing produce to the laborer who
wished that there were but two days
in the month—one pay-day and the
other Sunday—all, rich and poor, de
sire more money. Farmers are ieaBt
covetous because they deal directly
with God—plow His ground and de •
pend upon Him for sunshine and
shower. To provide for one’s family
is all right; to be frugal, industrious,
and energetic is commendable; but to
appreciate the body above the soul;
. money above morals; to starve the
soul is the saddest folly. The soul
cannot be fattened for heaven from
full barns, nor even upon stocks and
bonds. The time when God shall say,
“Thou fool, this night thy soul shall
be required of thee,” will come all too
A large and enthusiastic meeting of
citizens, wus held at the Court House
last Friday night.
T °t n m ° tion of Mr. B. T. Bethune,
Judge D. B. Sanford was called to the
chair, aud Mr. R. F. Avant, requested
to act as Secretary.
At the request of the Chairman,
Mr. Bethune explained the object of
tue meeting to be to take into consid
eration the building of a Cotton Fac
tory. The plan proposed was to erect
a one hundred thousand dollar factory,
one thousand shares at one hundred
dollars each—to be paid in weekly in
stallments of fifty cents on each share.
This will bring in five hundred dollars,
each week, and work will be com
menced as soon as the first install
ment is paid in. It is estimated that
the building can certainly be cou*-
pleted in much less than a year. Then
the machinery oan he put in on the
installment plan, und the Factory put
in operation, and doubtless, help pay
future installments.
Enthusiastic speeches were then
made by Messrs. W. S. Brooks, W T
Conn, J. W. McMillan, P. J. Cline, A.
Joseph, R. W. Roberts and Warren
Edwards, endorsing the plan and set
ting forth the great advantages to be
derived to this city by the employ-
ment given to the workmen and
operatives, and the increase in popu
lation.
Subscriptions to the capital stock
were then called for, and two hun
dred and fifty shares were promptly
taken by those present.
On motion of Mr. Joseph, Mr. B. T.
Bethune, who introduced the plan,
was authorized and requested to can
vas the county for subscriptions.
While the meeting was large and
enthusiastic many persons who will
subscribe liberally were not present.
It may be put down as a settled fact
that the factory will be built.
THE EPISCOPAL COHVENTIOH.
The State Episcopal convention as
sembled in St. Stephen’s Church in
this city at 11 o’clock on Wednesilay
ast.
The processional hymn was render
ed aud the clergy in robes marched in
and took seats within the chancel,
when a most interesting sermon was
delivered by Rev. W. Dudley Powers,
of Macon.
After Divine service of Holy Com
munion, the Convention was called to
order, Rt. Rev. John W. Beckwith in

NOTES.
At a meeting of the Alliance held at
Merriwether last Friday one thou
sand dollars was subscribed for the
proposed new cotton factory in this
city.
To save and invest fifty cents a
a week would prove the best sort of
n business education to our boys.
Habits of economy and interest in
business formed in youth are sure to
bring a golden harvest in manhood.
An opportunity for a small weekly
investment by wage-earnere, is a
blessing to any community.
After the speakers had painted in
glowing colors the grand results and
great prosperity to come to our city
by the building of a cotton factory,
Mr. McMillan sagely remarked, it
would be well enough to look at the
other side and consider what would be
come of Milledgeville if she didn’t get
it.
The plan for building the factory
is no untried scheme. Several facto
ries built in this way are in successful
operation. If the shares are taken,
the factory will be erected and furn
ished with as good machinery as can
be found in America or Europe.
The Rev. W. Dudley Powers was
elected Secretary.
Rev. J. J. P. Perry was appointed
assistant Secretary.
Reports were read from Deans of
Convocations and other officers and re
ferred to the proper cc'inmittees.
Adjourntnen#wus had until 4 p. m.
At 4 p. m., the Canon No. xiii. on
Diocesian Missions was taken up, sec
tion by section, and was passed after
much deliberation.
The wnembera were about equally
divided when the discussion began.
Among those who took most interest
iu the debate were Revs. Williams, of
Augusta; Dodge, of Brunswick; Bar
rett, of Atlanta; and W. Dudley Pow
ers, of Macon; aud Messrs. Z. D. Har
rison, of Atlanta; Professor Morris, of
Athens, and W. K. Miller, of Augusta.
The general Missionary of the Dio
cese read his report and showed a
marked improvement in collections
for misssions. He had organized mis
sion societies in many parishes aud
each parish through this contributed
for missions much more than the as
sessments.
The bishop’s annual address was de
livered at 11 o’clock Thursday morn
ing. He paid a very high tribute to
the sister in charge of the Appleton
home at Macon, Ga. He urged the
delegates to impress upon their con
gregations after their return home the
necessity of keeping up the work and
helping the charitable institutions of
the denomination.
After the bishop’s address the con
vention then went into election of of
ficers for the ensuing year The fol
lowing were elected to fill tlieir re
spective places: Hon. J S Davidson of
Augusta, Ga., was re-elected without
opposition, treasurer of the diocesan
mission; Rev. Mr. Whitesides, of Co
lumbus, missionary Secretary; Rev.
W. Dudley Powers, of Macon, Hon.
Z. D. Harrison of Atlanta, and Col.
\V. K. Miller of Augusta, were elect
ed trustees of the University of the
South at Sewanee, Tenn. Rev. Wm.
S. Bozard, of Columbus, was elected
registrar.
The most important committee to
be elected was that of the standing
committee. Several nominations were
made. The ballot showed that Revs.
Williams, Hunter and Strong, and
Messrs. Z. D. Harrison, W. K. Miller
■and I. E. Walker had been elected.
The citizens of Newnan, Ga., offer
ed the convention several acres of
ground and buildings to establish a
female college for the Episcopal de
nomination. This offer was referred
to the financial committee.
Thursday night Confirmation was
held, at which eight persons received

the Laying on of Hands by the Bish
op. The Bishop said it was worthy
of remark that this was a confirma
tion before the representatives of the
Diocese, also, that there was one fe
male and seven males. It seems that
men are takiug hold of the faith and
he predicted that the future would
show that men as well as women
would serve the Lord. He urged all
to obedience for by obedience they
would prove the doctrine of Christ.
After confirmation, convention was
called to order. Resolutions of thanks
to the citizens of Milledgeville, and
Railroads and to the Pres’t. of the M.
G. M. and A. College, and to the
Supt. of the Asylum, for kindness,
&c., were adopted. ■
After an address from the Bishop,
the recitation of the creed, short pray
ers and singing of the Gloria in Lx-
celcis the Convention adjourned to
meet in Christ Church, Savannah, the
10th of May, 1891. The general sen
timent expressed was that it was one
of the most pleasant conventions and
the hospitality of Milledgeville i-
unsurpassed by any city.
