There were nine«intcrments in the * ity Cemeteries this week —three white and six er.lnrod Os thes° nine, five were from pneumonia and one from consumption. St Paul’s Church. Night services will be resumed in •>t. Paul’s to morrow evening, and Mr. Williams will continue his lec tures on the Commandments. The subject to-morrow night will be the Ninth Commandment—on slander. Strange. Why is it that some people never think of their own private sections until Decoration Day, when they fush to the Cemetery, consume their flowers upon their lots and pay no attention to the soldiers’ graves? ’Phis is not as it should be. Some Attractions For To Night. The free reading rooms of the Y. 'M. tHI. will be open,-and a special meeting for men will be held at 8 O clock, to which all young men and strangers are invited. The latest magazines will be found on reading room tables. J. IT. Elliott,Superintendent. The Ladies at Work. A force of lady workers were this morning busy at the City Cemetery, and the floral chaplets were being bound around the soldiers’ graves. Not a large number wqfe on hand, but those who were working were rarnest and skillful. The display ■this afternoon will not be behind the decorations of past years. Survivors’ Election. At the meeting of the Confederate Survivors this morning the follow ing officers were elected : Col; c, *c. Jones, Jr.; President; Captain F. E. Eve, First Vice-President; General M. A. Stovall, Second Vice-President; J. C. C. Black, Third Vice-President; Rev. Edwin G. Weed, Chaplain; Berry Benson, Secretary; Captain C. E. Coffin, Treasurer; Captain L. A. Picquet, Sentinel. - An elderly lady living near Coch ran, has for twenty years carried a brass pin in her mouth, day and night, during which time it has never been out of her mouth. Amy Heath, colored, who was the oldest person in Butts county, or perhaps in Georgia, died on the 4th inst. She was said to have been one hundred and fourteen years of age. THE CHORAL UNION Concert With the Mendelsshons, May 12 th. Mr. C. F. Hendle, advance agent of the Mendelssohn Quintette Club is in town, and the Choral Union has settled definitely the date fo.r the concert with them. It will take place on Monday night, May 12th, at the Opera House. The*Board of Directors will meet at Mr. Frank Blaisdell’s office at 3, p. m., next Monday and arrange full particulars. The Club will have tickets for sale by next Tuesday. AMERICA’S DOCTORS. Movement to Fxcurt the National Convention to Augusta. The National Medical Convention which meets in Atlanta on the 6th of May will be one of the most im portant assemblages ever gathered in the South. It embraces the the prominent physicians of the whole United States and honors Georgia with this year’s sessions. As it is not probable that the South will be able to entertain them again in ten or twelve years, it is desirable that they should see Georgia's strong points. It is proposed, then, and the idea meets with much favor, to bring them down to Augusta on an excursion, entertain them in the city, take them over the Sand Hills, up the canal, &c., and show them Augusta’s hygienic advantages. It may be of great use in inviting Northern invalids to our solubrious clime and much towards showing up our city as a great Southern sanitarium. FIRE AT WADLEY A Happy Home Swept Away and Family Desolated. Mr. J. F. Toole, of Wadley, camo to thiscity on theeveningtrainyester day accompanied by his wife, and was stopping at the Central Hotel. The two had gone down town and were in a store buying confectionery for the little children that they expected to make happy on their return home when a porter from the Central Ho tel handed Mr. Toole the following telegram: Bartow, Ga., Apiil 26. —Your dwelling and store, and store of J. K. Murphy, were burned last night, at ten o’clock. From Mr. Toole himself wc learn that the insurance did not cover more than one-fourth the value of the property destroyed. He had but recently expended considerable mo ney in improving his place and was keeping hotel and all his future prospects were bright and hopeful, when suddenly came this unlooked for and dire calamity. Mr. Toole is now only twenty-seven years old; has a wife and three small children; has been in business for himself for thirteen years, making his own start in the world. He informs us that he has clothed himself and paid his own school bills ever since he was ten years old. To a man thrown on his own resources so early in life and beginning his business struggles without a dollar, the loss comes sore and hard after years of toil and economy to have all swept away with one breath of the fire fiend. Display. On Broad street this morning evi dences for Memorial Day were not numerous. The monument present ed a handsome appearance from tasty decorations, and, at ten o’clock Mr. Berry Benson ran up the' sur vivors’ flag over the Hussar Hall. Jfhe Confederate battle flag was beau tifully displayed from Platt’s stpre, while a national banner was strung across Ellis street in front of the Mechanic engine house. At two o'clock, however, the stores began to close and tho streets assumed a more holiday aspect. Evans’ Society Bazaar. The C. A. Evans Society will give a grand bazaar and open a dinner and lunch room on the 12th of May —the day of lhe fireman’s parade. This will be held in the old Augusta shoe house, on Broad street, and during the course of the day a mon umental cake for the most popular fireman will be voted; also a por trait of Gen. C. A. Evans for the most popular young lady. All charges will be reasonable and no raffling will be allowed. As a spirituous liquors will injure men, so opium or morphia will harm fully affect the baby. Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup is the remedy for the baby. It.is free from opium. Price, I 25 cents. PERSONAL POINTS. A. G. P. Dodge. R. Davis, Fla.; Globe. L. Picot, N. Y.; Planters. C. H.

Now the spring hat, set off with geranium, daintily sits on the mai den’s cianium. There are enough half-rate elocu tionists before the public to make the community groan. Even if all the flesh is grass, you cannot get a burned beefsteak to smell like new-mown hay. A single green pea, fastened in the shirt front, i*s now a more costly or nament than a diamond pin. Look out for damp cellars, for that way comes on. rheumatism, colds, fevers, diphtheria and death. “Great Heaven !” he murmered, as the dealer named the price, ‘“I don’t want a whole strawberry; I only want a small slice off the round.’’ Never despair. Many a boy who goes around with a yellow patch in his biue parrtirioons may sWi'itthy write a volume of poetry in blue and gold, or have d silver plate on his door. Two colored 1 issies were fined $2 and $5 this morning, for fighting about a husband. They quarreled over the loan of a lover, undone of them is now alone from her lover. Berry Green, who set a bird trap in the green burial ground, was be fore the Mayor this morning. He did not know he was violating any ordinance, and being bery green, was dismissed. Walter Hecter, colored, tried to beat down the door of his wife’s room last evening. She would not admit him, and he raised such a row that the Mayor fined him $lO for this attempted rape on the lock. STATE SIGNALS. Governor Colquitt is not a preach er. Perry has a library of nearly GOO volumes. The turpentine negroes at Baxley have many fights. Chicken fighting is a favorite past time in Conyers. Griffin wants to run an accommo dation train to Atlanta. The rain floated off 75,000 bricks in a yard near Montezuma. The reunion party at Macon yielded 8178 for the memorial tuna. The blackberry crop is too late to have been injured by the cold weath er some time since. The Trustees of the LaGrange Fe male College are moving toward the completion of their college. Troupe county did not suffer as much from the rains of last week as some other parts of the State. Quite a number of Northern gen tlemen have been visiting the min ing districts of North Georgia. The directors of the Columbus Gas Company intend soon to reduce the price from $5 to $3 per 1,000 feet. Gainesville boys serenade by mounting an organ on a dump cart and haul it to the houses of their dulciness. Next to the opening of the Chat tahoochee, West Point needs the re vival of Iwr grand commencement occasions. Col. J. YU. Nelms, the principal keeper of the Penitentiary, discharg ed seventeen convicts from the Geor gia Penitentiary. A request,signed by many citizens of LaGrange, has been sent to Dr. 11. H. Tucker, to deliver in that place his lecture on “’Word Power. ’ Dr. P. 11. Mell has been elected Moderator©!the Baptist Convention, ( a position ho has graced by his splendid executive ability for many years passed: The accounting officers of the Treasury say that Georgia is the fifth State in the (Inion in point of the amount ■ -til scribed to the ten dollar four per e nt. refunding certi ficates. The “Stab Line Press” says: West Point has peculiar reasons for honoring cx-Congressman Harris, and, in his -retirement, he carries with him the consciousness of duty done. Georgia has never had a more honest, faithful and wide awake Representative than Henry R. Harris. The much talked of and long dis cussed Savannah bonds have been at last accepted by the holders. SIOO,OOO worth of bonds were order ed by the City Council’s agent in Charleston yesterday, and an order was received this morning for SIOO,- 000 more. This relieves the city of an immense amount of interest. - — — GOLD The Vast Wealth Hidden in Georgia Mines. [Ulan!a Constitution.! Five years ago the mining in terest in Georgia were dead. There were only four gold mills in the State, and the total yield was about $40,000. Now there are forty-six mills in the State and the yield is over $500,000 per annum. These mills cost fully SIO,OOO each, which gives a total of about $500,000 in vested in machinery alone against $40,000 five years ago.. We now dig from the ground—that is, we ab solutely create-$5,000,<>00 per annum in yellow gold in Georgia against $40,000 per annum five years ago. This enormous increase is directly due to the discoveries made and published by Dr. Little and his corps. But the greatest good in this di rection is the increase of value of lands. By the tracing of a gold vein through a tract of land its value was at once raised from $1 per acre to SIOO. In his way the private pro perties and the general assessments have been, raised. Col. J. R. Sneed sold the other lay for SI,OOO a piece of Lind that he has held for five years at ckij, It had been discovered That a" rough it. Hon. W. P Pri<fTowned a piece of land that he offered at almost any price, and could find no buyers. Dr. Little’s men disco ered that there was gold on it. Immediately it was sold for $4,000 cash and a $12,000 mill put on it. There were $16,000 of value created, as it were. These cases might be multiplied indefinitely. Dr. Little has carefully defined the gold belt, and he says that within it over 1,000 lots of 400 acres each, worth SIOO per acre, or $40,000,000, that were not worth $1,000,000 five years ago —or could have been bought for that. In gold mining, then, in five years, therejhave|been $460,000 in machine ry put in—the annual yield in creased to $500,000 of yellow stuff — and the values of the gold belt raised from $1,000,000 to $40,000,000. But without discussing the unde veloped mines, we are authorized to say that the mines of Georgia, in actual operation to-day, could not be bought for less than $5,0000,000, and that the same property, five years ago, could have been bought for $500,000. This increase in pro perty, if it were put on the tax books, would pay the cost of the de partment twice over. Changing Its Tune [From tin New Orleans Timos.[ The St. Louis “Globe-Democrat” has changed its policy in regard to the negro exodus. From first advis ing the negroes to leave Mississippi and Louisiana and go to Kansas, it now advises the planters and land owners of those States t« use every exertion to keep them at home. The fact is the Radicals of the West are souring on their colored brothers since they have bad so many of them to feed and clothe. They would rather that they should keep their distance. Too Much Sleep. [Troy Timo*.| “God bless the man who first in vented sleep.” So said Sancho Pan za, and so say we. But there are those who will not feel like blesiing the man who has discovered that there is danger as well as health and happiness in slumber. The Golden Rule rises up to warn us that there is such a thing as too much sleep. It says: “The effects of too much sleep are not less signal than those arising from its privation. The whose ner vous system becomes blunted, so that the muscular energy is enfee bled, and the sensations and moral and intellectual manifestations are obtained All the bad effects of in action become developed. The memory is impaired, the powers of imagination arc dormant, and the minds falls into a kind of hebetude, chiefly because the functions of tho intellect are not sufficiently exerted, when sleep is too prolongod or too often repeated. To sleep much is not necessarily to be a good sleeper. Generally they are ' the poorest sleepers who remain the longest in bed —i. e., they awaken less refresh ed than if the time of rising were earlier by an hour or two. We com mend this to those who cry “a little more sleep and a little more slum ber.” It does not effect newspaper men who go.tq bed late and get up early. Tho Coachman and the Hired Man. [Chicago Times ] Theres a nice distinction between the tastes of the coachman and the other hired man, who is nothing but the hired man. The former marries the daughter invariably, while the latter takes the wife and murders the husband. It may become necessary tor an employer to decide whether he wish to lose his daughter or his wife, and hire his help accord ingly. 0 - w _ Deformity. A deformed philosopher died in Paris, after devoting nearly his en tire life time to the study of hump backs. After his death it was found that he had left no will, but instead a manuscript of 2,000 pages on the subject of humpbacks. Being weal thy and a bachelor, he spent fiftv years of his life in traveling, for the purpose of studying his subject in different countries. He assumed that there were about a million of deformed mortals in the world. Between the Eyes. I Chicago Times ] Beck hit James G. right between theeyes. He quoted from a message of Gov. Gary, of Pennsylvania, with reference to the use of troops at the polls, and asked the Senator from Pennsylvania [if Gary was consid ered a loyal man. Wallace replied that he was a Major-General in the Union army. “Here, then,” said Beck, “I read from the message of a Republican Governor, who went into the war and fought, and didn’t hire a substitute to fight for him.” As he said this Beck looked squarely at Blaine, who winced. John Sherman's Friend. [Louisville News.] The Jidea of August Belmont, otherwise and originally named Gustav Schomberg, undertaking to say who shall or who shall not be the Democratic candidate for Presi dent, is refreshing from its excessive cheekiness. Monsieur Belmont may be a very Rothschilds, but his former position of the Chairman of the National Committee has evidently given him an undue idea of his importance.
