Tobacco sales.

Our sales this week were about 600
.hogshcads. The market was very
active and strong with further ad-
vance. The feature of the week was a
large sale of West Tennessee tobacco,
which brought handsome prices. A
large delegation from that section came
up on free train rendered them by
our warehousemen, and seemed great
ly pleased With their visit to our town
and market, and left with their peck
cts full of money.
The damage to the plant-beds by
the fly still continues. and we hope
that our planters will continue to SOW
new plant beds, for the damage is uni
versal and if our section can make
crop and others fail, the crop will pay
big money. We quote

District Conference.


The 10th session of the GAINESVILLE
District Conference was held at Mar
tha's Chapel, near GAINESVILLE, begin
ming on Thursday evening, April 20.
Bishop Wightmon presided. The an
dersigned was elected Secretary. and
Rev. w. A. Turner Assistant. We
all think it was about the most pleas
ant session this district has ever had.
And DIR. Young said publicly, it was
the largest conference Of the kind he
ever saw. Long will we all remember
with pleasure the hospitable comma
nifty that made cur stay among them
SO pleasant to us. The Bishop was
clear and happy in his advice, sugges-
tions and public ministrations.-
Brother Burr seemed brim full of the
interest pertaining to his work as the
helmsman of the district. DIR. Good
loe had hearty grasp and smile of
welcome for each and all. DIR. Young
preached, lectured and secured a sub
scription of nearly two thousand dol
lars to the endowment fund Of Van
derbilt University. The old Commo-
dore has given seven hundred thous-
and dollars to the institution that
bears his name, and it is every cent
paid in. No uncle Daniel Drew mis-
takes about this.
Rev. A. Mizell came at the begin
ming and remained to the close, doing
good service in the pulpit and on the
platform.
The following are the delegates to
the next Annual Conference r. III.
Pickering, S. A. Caldwell, d. G. Rob
erts and Rev. Lewis Lowe, with G. w.
Davis and j. NJ. Swift reserves.
Charlotte was selected as the place
for holding the next session.
The Conference adopted unani-
mously the following:
Resolved, That we tender our thanks
to the citizens of this community for
the hospitable manner in which they
have entertained US as a District Con-
ference.

THE LATE R. W. THOMAS.

ROBERT w. THOMAS, Senior Editor
of the CHRONICLE, died at the resi-
dence of his son-in-law, James M
Quarles, in Edgefield, at ten minutes
past ten o'clock Saturday night, April
2, 1876, of pneumonia, aged 6S years,
l month and day.
Death at all times and under all cir
cumstances is sad to contemplate, but
when the grim monster removes from
our immediate business and social
circle one bound to US by so many
ti5s-a tried and true friend-our
counsellor and political guide-his
death to us is one of no ordinary in
terest. We loved him for his many no
bic and commanding traits of charac-
ter. He was ripe scholar. a profound
thinker, aud dignified gentleman, every
pulsation of whose great heart was
for the good Of our common country,
and for the prosperity of its citizens.
He labored for the public good and we
are convinced that the public fully APP
preciated the MAN.
He became editor and proprietor of
the CHRONICLE in 1849, and continued
as such until Oct. 1857. when the
present publishers bought the Office
and retained him as editor. He had ia
miliarize6 himself with political econ
omy, and being a graceful and fluent
writer he ranked deservedly high as a
journalist. He was honest to the let
ter-liberal to fault-but he has gone
TO appear before the infexible bar of
Infinite Goodness and Justice. May
we hope it is well with him. We
honored him when living, and now the
tears that fall unbidden at his depart
ure well up from hearts within whose
deepest reeesses his virtues will ever
be enshrined.

District Conference.

The meeting of this body brought
to our city Bishop Wightman and
r. A. Young. The latter gentleman
preached in the morning at the Meth.
odist church, from Rom. 5. 1. His
sermon was most excellent; twas sim
pie, pointed, earnest, and we believe
was highly appreciated. He is a think
ing man, and thoroughly imbued with
the spirit Of the gospel he breaches
Tie Is man of large culture as we
judge from his sermon, though he
brought rather the results Of learning
than the learning itself before his au-
dience.
At night the Bishop preached from
Matt. Il, 10. He made a very salts
fsctory exposition of the text, answer
ing every difficulty that could arise in
the mind concerning it. The subject
was the fgtree cursed by Christ be-
cause it had no fruit omit. The trans
action. the preacher told US, was sym
bolical. The fgtree represented the
Jewish nation. They had received
many favors, and every advantage for
usefulness. and honor. In glowing
terms did the preacher portray the
splendid bequest to this infatuated
people. What a startling view did his
luminous periods give of the awful
doom that fell upon them. This is a
scene in the actual history of a people
that needs no coloring to add to its
horrors, the bare facts are enough to
chill the blood. The preacher at this
point had the good taste to make but
a very brief and general allusion to
other nations aud then passed to the
application of the text, that is, to in
dividiuals. On this point he was very
impressive. By the analogy of several
plain and pointed illustrations he
proved that all man had to do to ruin
the soul was to let it alone.
He is very pleasant speaker. There
is something In the man that chains
the attention of an audience to him.
Men differ in this regard. The very
presence of some men inspires conf
dence. He is known not only as
man of integrity, ofgreat moral wOrth'
but as a man of spotless purity of
character. Say what we may, but the
heather author was correct, when he
said none but good man can be an
orator. We were gratified that he had
a large and attentive audience.
DIR. Young is the agent for the, Van
derbilt University. At the District
Conference he raised fifteen hundred
dollars for the Theological Department
of the University. This great institu-
ton is on firm basis, and the people
feel that money put into it will be
permanent investment for good; it is a
charity that will live after them. The
plan he pursues is to ask no cash, but
only a note bearing six per cent. in
terest, to be paid semi-annually.

TO THE PET OF THE POPULACE.
AN ACRoSTIC.

Just think for n moment of my beautiful
theme,
And ponder awhile, and laugh at my
dream
Magnificent failure in trying to portray
Elegant ''charloer"-the pet of the day.
Stalwart and manly, Dencil-like and bold
To be so frigid, Indifferent and cold.
How divinely exquisite the cut OF his eye,
And the half careless bow, as he passes
you by.
Remember I'm jesting, don'tadd to conceit
Rare egotism, but think of the defeat
In that battle of words.
sweet spirit adieu, my eloquence is spent,
Saying things, ah too true, and some
things not meant.
