in Calhoun accounts fur his non attend
at cj at, the leap-year party. “ Weil,
you see,” says he, “ its always been my
luck when I requested a young lady to
allow me to cal!, etc., to receive a reply
savoring very strong of rerri, So 1
thought, in order to get even, I’d ‘ re

one who asked me, and then accept the
next. 'I he next hasn’t been received,

A Fatal Affray.—Mr. Tom
Smith and Hiram Lewis, a son of Mr.
Joab Lewis, had a dicffidulty in the
public road near Sonora, the 30th. in
which the former killed the latter by
stabbing him three times. The difficulty
was'provoked by intimacy too free r the
part of Lewis with a daughter of Smith
and the two agreed to settle the griev
ance without a prosecution <f the law,
and the end proved fatal to Lewis.
Smith has been arrested and is now in
jail. Ilis trial comes of! at the next
Suptrior Court.

with requests to escort them to the par

themselves. The supper prepared by
Mrs. Wyatt was splendid, and did great
credit to her culinary skill. All pres

A iliristmus Diversion,
J/r. Editor : On the evening "of
the 22d ultimo, small parties of ladies
aid gentlemen might have been
seen wending their way towards
toe residence of W. 11. Bonner four
miles froijLi Calhoun, whither they had
been invbcd to witness the performance
of charades, tableaux, etc., of which
the following purports to be a brief de
scription : The whole affair was judi
ciously managed and well executed, and
each' performance deserves particular
notice, but knowing your partiality for
short articles, I will merely mention
those which seemed to elicit the. gre.t.
cst applause, and let imagination do the
rest. The first charade was, *' The Old
Country Aunt’s Visit to the City,” in
which the pleasant conversation of the
three fashionable nieces was disturbed
by the entrance of one of the oldest
specimens of the “ green horn ” that
ever came within the range of my vis
ion. The apparition was no other than
Aunt Peabody, loaded with basket, bun
dles,satchel,etc., which with singular de
liberation she deposited on the,floor and
having kissed all the young ladies (in
which operation any of the young men
would have assisted the old lady) she
took up a position in the centre of the
room and was the subject of some
very strong expressions of tender re
gret from the nieces, followed by coun
ter-parts in under tones by the same,
which gave her the opportunity to il
lustrate the fact that “ the way of the
transgressor is hart!,” when she ap
peared at tiie ball in scene 2d and gave
each one a very wholesome lecture on
dress, behavior, etc., revealing the fact
that her sense of hearing had not been
so impaired a? her appearance indicated
or her words had led them to believe.
Another charade which seamed to be
highly appreciated was “ Aunt Betsy
And Her Beaux.” Miss Fannie Bon
ner representing Aunt Betsy, boasted to
her nieces of her power to charm
“ when all others fail,” but was notified
in the following manner: Mr. Johnnie
Craig, in the character of Squire Hup
per, was. ushered into the presence of
Miss Betsy ana spoke of the tender pas
sion in such a way as to lead her to
suppose that the long-expected time had
come (as her actions plainly showed)
but when he intimated that he desired
her aid in a little affair between himself
and one of her nieces, her anger knew
no bounds, and the rising cloud on her
brow indicated the coming storm to
avoid which he departed “ stating not
the order of his going.” The sound of
ills retreating footsteps had scarcely
died away .when wealthy James l>unt
iy was announced. He entered
and seating himself beside Miss Betsy,
expressing his gratification at finding
her alone. lie had long desired to have
a private chat with her upon a matter
which concerned them both, he had
come to make a trade with her, their
pastures were contiguous,purchasing was
expensive . lieic he was interupt
ed by Miss Betsy who could control
her feelings no longer,”aud the express
ion of her satisfaction were as vehe
ment as were those of her dissatisfaction
when he completed the sentence by
proposing to hug her pasture. The tact
that he forgot bis hat denotes with what
speed he retired. Suppressed whispers
in one corner of the room was sufficient
cause for Aunt Betsy to raise a curtain
which hung in that quarter and served
as a screen to “ those girls ” who were
found to be silent observers of tho whole
proceeding. Next in order was one of
Mrs. Caudle’s curtain lectures. “The
Borrowed Umbrella,” which one of the
mariicd men of the audience remarked
was very familiar; owing to the fact
that the curtain was not raised it was
Impossible to tell who the lecturer was
but judging from the manner in which
it was spoken it is generally supposed
to have been the original Mrs. Caud e
herself.
A few of the perplexities of house
keeping were exhibited by Miss Ophe
lia Bonner in “It never rains but it
pours.” And the Housemaid’s Soliloquy
was very well rendered by Miss Emma
The last scene wh’ch in )ny humble
opinion was decidedly the best, was a
tableau in which Miss Lula Bonner
bound to a stake representing Joan of
Arc, about to be burned, with her hands
bound behind her, and her eyes slight
ly upturned while unmistakable marks
of supreme contempt for everything
terrestrial was depicted on her counten
ance. The whole history of the unfor
tuuate gii.l was brought before the eyes
of every one. There were many Other
scenes of equal merit which might be
mentioned but far the reason above sta
ted, I refrain.
After listening to some very sweet
music by the young ladies we deputed
to our several homes, feeling that our
time had been well spent, and hoy ing
that an occcasion of that kind might
soon occur again.

Christiiiait Tree.
Learning that on Christmas Eve
night, there was to be a Christmas Tree
given by the Sunday School at the
Methodist Church, at about 7 o’clock,
we wended our way thither; and before
the church was opened we were permit
ted to enter and examine the tree, the
presents and jthe decoration of the
house, all of which we unhesitatingly
pronounced splendid—yea, even mag*
nifioent. It is‘rea!ly refreshing—after
the noise, din and confusion of a day—
to be allowed the pleasure, when the
sable curtains of night arc thrown round
us, and we are enveloped in her murky
folds, to steal away to some quiet place
and enjoy for a time the pleasures and
delights of a festival given for the ben
efit and amusement of the children.—
We always enjoy their childish glee and
merriment, and our heart was made
glad, by the bright smiles and glowing
faces, of the happy children who had
gathered at the church to see what
Santa Claus would bring them on the
“ Tismus Tee.”
The decoration of the church which
was conducted under the supervision of
a committee of ladies from the Sabbath
School, was beautiful, tasty and ar
tistic. In the vestibule of the Church
was hung the inscription—in letters
formed of evergreen sprigs— “ Wel
come ;” on one side of the building
was inscribed, in like manner, “In God
We Trust';” on the other, “Jesus is
Bru over the pulpit, was inscribed
“ A Merry Christmas to AM;” and in
the eastern corner a transparent ever
green star, representing “ The Star in
the East,’* while cedar crosses, wreaths
and crowns be leeked the walls, from
which were suspended lovely festoons of
arbor vitm, cedar and holly, hanging
gracefully o’er and around the windows,
and throwing upon the whole scene a
sheen of brilliance and beauty, which
made it most magnificent to behold, —
In the centre of the altar stood the
tree, on which were hung in goodly
numbers'-numerous nice and nameless
presents, pretty, pleasing and plentiful
for the people and pupils of this popu
lar Sabbath School. Soon that siren
saint, old Santa Claus, sallied forth
from far beyond the bright blazing
moon, merely to make merry the many
moody, men, misses, maidens and
matrons, who midst music, most melodi
dious, seemed much inclined to remain
dull and dreary, during the delightful
drama, upon which the c’s ildren verc
cheerfully, feasting their fond gaze. —
Th j work of distributing the presents
then began, and many were the child
ish hearts made to leap for joy. at be
ing the happy recipients of such
good gifts.
After some two or three hours spent
in the distribution of presents, the au
dience dispersed, well pleased with the
tree, all unanimously agreeing that i
was a great success, and inaudibly ex
claiming, “Oh 1 would it were always
Christmas!” Ego.
The Fantastics.
Quito a sensation was created on our
streets on Christmas day, when a squad
ron of the original fantastic club was
seen to emerge from the grave yard just
below town, and take up a line of march
through the principal streets of Ihe
place. The company, all well mounted,
thoroughly equipped (with tin horns
and fire-crackers) beautifully dressed,
and under the command of Gen. Drum
Fifo, X. Q. Z , after parading our
streets "for some time.drew up in front of
the Court House, where were assembled
a vast multitude of people, for the per
pose of giving attention to the roll call-
When this was done it was discovered
that Gov. Smith, Gen. Gordon, George
Washington and Christopher Columbus
were absent. Jim Hughey, and pSam
Bard* were present, however, and added
much to the beauty and grandeur of the
procession. After this the apparition
vanished, and in five minutes not a ves
tige was left of what a few moments
before seemed a legion of ku-kluxs.—
The costu ties worn by the lideiu were
grotesque and amusing, their disguises
perfect, and their personations remark
ably well sustained.
iiiSui
Reception, —On Friday evening the |
31st, when Rev. A. C. Thomas, the be- {
loved pastor of the 31. IT Church, re- |
turned to his charge in Calhoun, he was j
met at the train by a delegation of la- j
dies and gentlemen, who escorted him j
to the Calhoun Hotel, where he found
awaiting him a table richly spread, and I
quite a number of his church, who had
prepared the supper had assembled To |
welcome him, by way of showing feebly
their appreciation of his Christian like
qual ties, his untiring energy and zeal
and his devotion to the work of his
Master. The evening was pleasant'y
spent by all who attended.
YvK enter the Centennial’ year high
inspirits but low in purse, and having
long since learned that where glory is

the latter is necessary in conducting a

year hence as buoyantly as a boy whose

Union Sabbath School Christmas
Tree.
Editor Times: —By the time the
last golden rys of tight disappeared
from the western horizon on Christmas
eve night, the Church was lighted up
and filled with bright and joyous faces
of old and young people to witness and
receive the distrubution of presents
that adorned the beautiful tree that had
been prepared by the dainty hands of
the young ladies who had been appoint
ed to do the work. The church was
beautifully adorned with wreathes cf
evergreen and a transparent motto in
front of the tree with the inscription
“ God Is Love.” The house was called
to order by the Superintendent. The
school then sang some sweet and joy
ous music, which was pleasing to all
who love and appreciate such. Then
a short and appropriate prayer was of
fered by the Superintendedt. After
which another sweet song was sung by
the school. Then the drawing for the
capital prize took place, which was de
delivered to the fortunate bolder of tick
et No. 101. Then the distribution of
presents commenced, every one listening
eagerly for their names te be called. By
nine o’clock the tree was unloaded of
its burden and all had received their
presents with pleasure. So far as we
could tell, the Christmas tree was a
grand success —all were well pleased
with the management. We hardly
knew which was the best pleased Major
Bartlett when he received the fine large
turnip or the young man who got the
limber jack, jumping and bounding in
the air. What a nice time he will have
amusing himself watching the gymnastic
performance of his treasured toy. The
whole occasion was one long to be re
membered by the little people, and may
the Sabbath School fl rnrish an l live
long to enjoy many such festivals as the
Christmas tree of 1875. S. P.
A Word From a Colored Man.
Editor of the Calhoun Times :
Please allow me space in your columns
to say a few words to the people of
this community. I arrived here on the
first of January as pastor in charge of
A. M. E. Church of the Calhoun Cir
cuit and hope to meet with the kind
feelings of your people. Our aim is to
build up our churches to- build up
schools tor our people and to preach the
Gospel. We want our people to receive
instruction from good moral men of
their own color. Our people have been
somewhat led astray by men of the
Northern churches,, whose minds
are against building up the country. The
A. M. E. Church in the South is not of
that principle. Wo hope and pray to see
the day when the white and colored
people will have the kind feeling of each
other in all things and will unite in one
grand effort to build up the South and
her institutions. God has made us two
distinct races and we colored people de
sire to be respected in our present sphere
as colored people. In prayer 1 would a'k
the blessing of God upon Calhoun this
year and,upon Gordon county and our
entire State. Where I have been laboring
Georgia I have met with tiie kind feel
ings of the white people. We minis
ters of the A. M. E. Church would ask
respectfully the assistance of the white
people of the State and of the South
in building up our churches and schools

No man or family should be without
a newspaper. It is the most intelligent
and entertaining visitoi to any house
hold, and is the best of all educators.
Besides this admitted fact there are now
additional reasons for subscribing to a
good newspaper. Perhaps no year of
the past half century furnished a creat
or combination of important and thrill

ing The Presidential contest, the Gu
bernatorial election, the Centennial and
other great events transpire.
As in the past, so in the future,
THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION,
published at the capital of the State,
will be foremost in the chronicling of
all the news, political, commercial, agri
cultural, religious, of legislatures and
conventions. A Democratic journal, it
is independent of all political or person
al influences, and is free to devote itself
to the best interests of the people of
Georgia and the South. It is accepted
throughout the Union as the represent
ative paper of the State. The Consti
tution is known as
THE PEOPLE’S PAPER.
It has attained a prospetity as such sec
ond to no paper in the South. Asa
family journal, containing political and
literary reading, general news, stories,
poetry,humor, and practical information,
it is-popular in many States. Additional
features of interest have lately been add*,
ed, making it ajffiil more welcome vis
itor to every home.
The Constitution having been the
means of opening up forth Georgia to
the people of this eountry as never be

tion'for the exploration of the great
OKEFENOKEE SWAMP,
the terra incognitia of Georgia. Sever
al months will be devoted to the work,
which will be of service to the State,
and mark an era in its history. Sub

euro lull reports of this expedition,
which will furnish most valuable inform
ation and rich adventures.
