Brave Men.
There was nevor one yet brave enough
to make satirical faces at a baby while the
mother was looking on, or call it an ugly
brat, wbiob, in a majority of cases, it the
truth, where that maternal female oould
catoh a whisper of it.
Acerltt Hew Bridge.
The Averitt bridge will not be rebuilt

went out yesterday and examined loca
tions. They will to-morrow agree on a

Geneva: The match played at Geneva to
day between the Wide Awakes of Geneva
and the Fust Asleeps of Talbotton, re
sulted in favor of tho Wide Awakes of
Geneva by a score of 43 to 13.
Fine i’ictures.
Prof. Duffle showed us yesterday an en
larged picture of the daughter of Gen.
French, formerly of Columbus but now

ecuted likeness of a lovely youog lady.
The work was in India ink, and great ar<

Damages for $100,000,
We learn on authority that Charles C.
Bouder, late agent of the Howe Sew
ing Machine Company in this city,
lias commenced suit for libel against
that company, laying bis damages at
$100,000. The oanse of the aotion
an advertisement of the company in this
paper to the effect that the agent has been
discovered to be contemptible, unworthy,
unreliable, indolent and dishonest. Wil
liams A Williams and General Banning
are counsel for the plaintiff.
Another in Jail.
Goorge Ford, colored, it seems, entered
the bouse of another freedmao, John
Mitchell by name, on the 17th of June
last, on tho plantation of Mrs. Cochran,
near Glennvillo, and took therefrom one
bushel of peas.
In default of one hundred dollars bail
he was on Friday committed to jail at
Beale. George says ho don’t blame the
white folks for sending him to juil, but
the “cussed niggers that swore agin him.”
Given Bond,
Joe Martin, who robbed the mails when
route agent on the Mobile A Girard Rail
road, has given (he $10,000 bond required
of him, and has returned to hit home in
Girard, where ho now is. Common de
cency should prevent his again mustering
up negroes to voto the Radical ticket,
though bo may hope to escape punish
ment from Busteed by suoh aotion. Hia
brother and two others are his bondsmen.
A Handcuffed Negro Escapes from Jail.
A few days ago, iu Russell county, on
the place of Mr. C. M. Fuller, near Bocie-
ty Hill, a white mau named J. C. Vining,
and a freedman named Israel Bennett, had
a difficulty, iu which Vining and his wife
Were seriously injured by blows on the
bead with a heavy bludgeon nsed by the
negro. They were employees of Mr. Ful
ler, and were in a crib, near night, when
some words were passed, and the negro,
as Vining was getting out of the crib,
kicked him out. Tho latter seized a
heavy pole, and the negro a atiok
five feet long, four inches in diameter at
one end, and two at the other. The wea

with the majority rule governing.

ers, George L. Kilpatrick and Rev. J. E.
Tooke.
Alternates—D. H. Burts, D. A. Smith,
W. W. Flewellen and Rev. J. T. Mc
Laughlin.
The balloting was not finished until
afternoon.
INTRODUCTIONS.
Rev. George Goetohins, pastor of the
Presbyterian church in Milledgeville, was
introduced to the Conference.
Subsequently Rev. C. - A. Kendrick,
pastor of Columbus Baptist church, and
Rev. Dr. A. P. Haygood, Sunday School
and Missionary Secretary, were intro
duced.
Rev. Mr. McLaughlin represented
COLLINS WORTH INSTITUTE,
and necessity of thorough education.
Thought tho prosont district behiud
others.
Rev. Walter Kuox endorsed the institu
tion, and called attention to the claims of
i,evert female college,
and the President (Rev. V. E. Manget)
did the same in the afternoon.
Rev. Dr. O. L. Smith, President of
EMORY OOLLEOE,
ably presented the claims of that Collego.
One building bad been torn down, and
it was doomed host since the war to build
five new ones. Two handsome and com
modious lecture rooms have been finish
ed. A third, to be used as a day chapel,
60x40 feet, will be this month. A fourth
will be erected this fall. Next year a
large chapel, for commencement ex
ercises, will be finished. Emory Col
lege was organized in 1837, and tho first
class graduated in 1841. Total number
of graduates f#l8. Of these 70 are itener
ant, and 40 local preachers; 105 professors
and teachers ; 80 sons of Coulerenco min
isters, and 120 beueflciaries in whole or in
part. The trustees are resolved to ob
tain an endowment of ifSOO, 1 wo This
is wanted so as to make tuition free oi
merely nominal. Ministers’ sous of the
Georgia aud Florida Couforences are ed
ucated free of tuition. The College has
agreed to educate freo two young men
from each District in the North Georgia,
South Georgia and Florida Conferences,
to be chosen by a committee of three lay
men appointed by the Presiding Elder,
and of which he shall be chairman. All
claimants in the District should apply
this commit toe. Ho eloquently
presented the. claims of the College on the
denomination. Nothing sectarian was
observed in the education of youth.
Dr. E. H. Myers represented the
WESLEYAN FEMALE OOLLEOE
at Macon—the mother of female colleges.
A man has a right to have women educated
for his own sake. An educated woman only
can make happy homes. Honce he advo
cated woman’s rights for man viewed
in this sense. Her mind, heart, nud mor
als should be thoroughly educated.
Rev. Dr. W. C. Bass spoke for the
same institution. Tuition was as low as
the Virginia colloge.s aud instruction as
good aud thorough as any in the land.
Dr. E. H. Myers had resigned the Prosi-
denoy, to take effect on January first, and
the trustees had seeu fit to elect the
speaker as his successor.
Rev. F. M. Kennody, the editor spoke
for the
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE,
published at Macon. It was not so pros
perous as it had been. The highest cir
culation ever had was 13,000. Tho com
mittee of the conferences who controlled
had resolved to adopt the cash system and
drop delinquents. Under this arrange
ment 6,000 names hud been scratched.
The circulation now is about 9,000. The
publishers estimate each paper costs them
during the year $1.90. Ministers aro
furnished it at $1; those superanuated
for nothing. He hoped the people would
subscribe. Of late mauy had been noti
fied by postal cards when time was about
to expire. Some grumbled at this. It
was simply a notification. He would take
subscriptions. Once there existed a ri
valry between Atlanta and Columbus as
to which city should take tho most copies.
The scales varied for a long time. Now
Atlanta is far ahead.
Adjourned to 3 p. m.
REV. DR. A. O. HAYGOOD
Preached at 11 o’clock from the text—

port, after some modification, w adopt

MISSIONS AND THE MISSIONARY.
Rev. Dr. A. G. Haygood, Associate
Missionary Secretary of the M. E. Church
South, in au address stated that the
church failed in duty iu regard to mis
sions—in which sho was more behind
than anything else; because the sub
ject was not preached, talked of and
written about. His board had established
at Nashville a neat sheet called The Mis.
sionary, which proposed to give the lead-,
ing missionary facts in the world, in or
der to awaken interest in the work. It
was to bo sent to ministers freo, aud sub
scribers at twenty cents, almost the ex
act cost. North Georgia Conference had
already subscribed for 6,856 copies, and
in a few weeks would take 10,000. The
. body in a few moments subscribed for
j 1,301 copies though many members bad
left.
THE ORPHANS’ HOME
was represented by Rev. S. Anthony,
agent. He complaiued of conferences for
putting this subject to tho heel of a ses
sion, when ouly a few members were
present, and editors upon giving incor
rect figures, as we did yosterday on wrong
information. The Orphaus’ Home is lo
cated two miles from Maoon, has ninety-
five acres of land, a good house, and has
charge of eighteen orphans. Subscrip
tions aro needed that the institution may
not get in debt. Thero are many appli
cations to bo admitted into the institu
tion. The Home was established on Jan
uary 12th.
The Methodist Home at Atlanta has
over forty orphaus.
