Rome Tribune: Father Colu nbia is in
I r me. He is one Of the most remarkable
| me1 in America and eccentric in his benev-
oleaoes. He edits a newspaper known as
the Advocate, which is also a peculiar pa
per. IL has an immense circulation through
out the United States, and the many notices
| that it has made of Rome IN connection
with the Rome Female College will benefit
the city. A meeting Of prominent citizens
was held yesterday afternoon in the office
Of the Rome Land Company and Father
Columbia addressed them on his plan of
endowing the Rome Female College He
proposes that his order win give as much
as either citizens Of Rome or Presbyterians
Of Georgia contribute Suppose $4,000
is to be raised. Each will contribute $780,
600. If the citizens of Rome or the Presby-
terians of Georgia contribute only $4,000
then he will put up only that amount. He
talked fully and at great length. As
speaker Father Columbia is very earnest
and emphatic. He impresses one as being
man rather of actions than of words.
When he says mo" the word is set like the
rock of Gibralter. Father Columbias real

Sunday night or Monday morning last
negro boy Is or 10 years old, went into the
wagon yard of w. II. Jones Of East Macon
and crept into an unoccupied house in the
yard. He was seen there on Monday morn
ing by some of the negroes, but as it is fire.
quently the case that some one sleeps in the
house no special notice was taken of him.
He must have remained there all day Mon
day and Tuesday without food or water.
Wednesday morning the porter for Mr..
Womack's store saw him there and asked
if be could do anything for him. He
seemed TO DO suffering very much.
He carried him some water, which
he drank as though he were fam
ished. A small lunch which was sent
him was untouched, however. The
man went back little later and found him
to he worse. He called the attention of
Officer Winters TO him, who teephonei to
the city hall. DR.. Ferguson went over to
see him, but found him in dying condi-
ton. He died about IL O'Clock. His name
could not be learned further than that it
was Will He had been seen about there
for several days, but no one thought to in
quire his name. though one man said that
he knew the boy had brother in Griffin.
1t was also said that he came from Stevens
Pottery. He had evidently been in the
anklets were still on his ankles. He was
buried by the county.
Augusta EUening NetUs: A handsome and
intelligent collie dog belongs to John Bones
Moore Of Augusta and makes his home with
him for the most part. During the Sep
TENDER freshet the dog was caught by the
high tide in Broad street, and though
good swimmer, he could not make Roadway
against the swift current surging down
Broadway. He caught in some brush or
timbers near I.andram g. Buffers store, and
while there In durance, and in considerable
peril, he was rescued by Mr.. Landram,
taken to the second floor, and fed for two
or three days until the water subsidized.
Colly then went on his way rejoicing
So tar the honors are in favor of Mr.
Landram and now comes the story of a
dogs appreciation and rare intelligence.
Every day since the flood that dog has trotted
around from Greene street, in fact, twice
each day, and, rushing past clerks and Gus
toners he calls on Mr.. Landram and salutes
him with grinning teeth and bowling head
and wagging tail. He then curls up at his
feet, goes to sleep and after his nap bows
againand returns home. The Interchange
of civilitiesbetween man and dog is always
interesting. And the interesting story
does not stop here. Last fall Mr.. Landram
went north to purchase his regular stock Of
uIy RoOus, anu Us soon Us Une uOB nOJlced
his absence from the store, he sought some
other way Of showing his gratitude. And
here is the strangest part Of the wonderful
story: Although the dog has never been
known before to stop at Mr.. Landram's
house, he took up his station that night on
the back piazza of the residence, and there
he remained till the cook came in the morn
ing to open the house. Colly then left,
satisfied that all was right; and this nightly
visit aud guard he maintained until his
daily visits to the store told him that Mr..
Landram was back home to protect his own
house at night.
