John G. Gibson, and Rev. P. B. Robinson were in the city last week. Large amount of matter crowded out this week, among which our notice of Bro. Renfroe's retirement. Could not be avoided. Rev. T. G. Sellers, President of the Starkville Female Institute, Starkville, Miss., is one of the sound, solid men of that State. He is now enjoying the "teacher's recess." Rev. G. R. McC. -- The Baptist Church, in Hawkinsville, have generously voted their devoted pastor, Rev. G. R. McCall, a furlough for several weeks. He purposes visiting the up-country soon, and recuperate for the active services in the future. Dr. Mell made a short visit to his relatives in this city and Marietta recently -- spent a day in each city, and returned to Athens on the 25th ult. He expects to sail from New York, for England, on the 17ths inst. The Prayers of many anxious hearts will be daily offered to God for the safety and success of his trip. Strong hopes are entertained for his early restoration to health and accustomed usefulness. Col. L. P. Grant justly occupies an enviable position in the estimation of the good people who know -- because of his moral worth, and the high sense of honor characterizing his every action. His administration of the affairs of the Atlanta & West Point Railroad, is wise, liberal, and meets with the cordial approbation of all interested. Alive to every interest of the Road and the country, he suffers no irregularities or omissions to occur, w9ithout prompt investigations and equitable adjustments. In two instances, within our knowledge, the money collected by conductors who failed to receive instructions, to return delegates without charge, the amount paid was promptly refunded, when the subject was brought to the attention of Col. Grant. Additional Comments: The Christian Index. The Union of South-Western Baptist, of Alabama The Christian Herald, of Tennessee.
