AT THE CHAPEL,
Tho exercises were opened with prayer, by
Rev. C. W. Lane—Music, by Ladies’ Memori
al Association—followed by a chaste, eloquent
and grand address by ox-Chancellor Lipscomb
—one of his beat efforts—which ought to be
published for tho benefit of those who were de
nied tbe privilege of hearing it. Tbe address
was followed by Decoration Hytnn by Ladies’
Memorial Association. After the benediction,
a largo majority of tbe vast crowd repaired to
tbe cemetery, where the decoration of tho
graves was completed.
Everything passed off decently and in order,
and made a solemn impression on the survi
ving kindred and friends of those who now re
pose on ” Fame's eternal camping ground.”
Baptist Church.
At a largo conference meeting held by tbe
Baptist congregation last Wednesday, it was
unanimously determined to build a new bouse
of w or ehip- Twenty-five thousand dollars
bavp beep subscribed already, and more can
be obtained, Unwjed,
It is intended to commence tbe work at once,
and get it completed as soon as possible.
We understand that Dr. Skinner will leave
on Thursday next, to attend the Baptist Con
vention in Charleston, from whence he will
proceed to New York to select suitablo plans
for the building.
We congratulate our Baptist friends and
citizens generally ia vjejy of tbe contemplated
improvement, which will add so much to tho
appearance and respectability of tho city.
To Make a Place Prosperous.
There can hardly be a greater sign of pros
perity in a community than a disposition to
help one another—lift a little when a neigh
bor’s wheel gets stuck in the mud.
We know of a place where a man's barn,
with all his winter's stores of grain and hay,
were consumed by fire in tho night. Imme
diately all the men of tho country mastered
and hauled up timber for a now barn, and
then a big raising came off. After that the
sound of twenty or more hammers were board
until tho whole was shingled and sided. But
their deed of kindness was Dot done yet; one
after another offered to tako a head of stock
and winter them for him, thus greatly redu
ciog his loss aud assuring his heart of tbe
more durable riches of brotherly love aud
neighborly good will. No one can compute
in money tbe valuo of one such example of
noble liberality in a community, especially in
its influence upon the youug.
Where this spirit prevails there is sure to
lie progress iu a place even if all tho improve
ments are iu thoir iofaucy. People will come
and settle in.a place which bears such a good
namo. Now, if you desire to see your place
growing popular, do what you can to show
yourself a good neighbor, especially to those
who need a little extra help.
If a man starts a tin shop or a blacksmith's
shop in his place don't harness up and drive
fivo miles to buy your pans and got your
horses shod, just because you have been iu tbe
habit of doing it. Patronize the new comer
when you want anything done in his line.
Speak encouragingly of him to your neigh
bors. Little words of approval or censure go
a long way, aud when once you have spoken
them you cannot call them back.
Help the sick, especially if they are poor,
for poverty and illness are indeod a heavy
burden. Perform all acts of loving charity
which fall day by day in your path, remem
bering who it is who bas said, *‘ Ye shall in no
wise lose your reward.”
The Concert
GiveD at tho hotel in Clarkesville, on Tccsday
night last, by tbe young ladies of the village,
was a decided success, and rejected great
credit on all concerned. We regret our in
ability, on account of lack of space, to give an
extended notice of this very pleasant even
ing's entertainment. The room was filled with
an appreciative audience, and tbe proceeds of
the concert were divided between the Presby
terian and Methodist churches of CiarkoaviJIo.

A Fre^h Leak in Louisiana:
SYMPTOMS OP ANOTHER EXPLOSION.
Newt Orleans, April 20 —There is great
excitement over the determination of the Con
servatives to seat certain members, which will
give them a majority on joint ballot. Pack
ard is quoted : “ If this course is pursued the
Senate wil! adjourn for three days, and if per
sisted in it will adjourn sine die. Tbe Repub
licans did not, and would not, consent to be
ing deprived of a majority on joint ballot.”
New Orleans, April 20.—The majority re

Richards, Rocheon, Floyd and Martinette,
was adopted by 61 yeas to 32 nays. Before
tbe above action in tbe House, the Senate had
adjourned until to-morrow. Before adjourn

seating Goode and reseating Crozier. Mr.
Lowell, Republican Chairman of the Commit

follows: "Your Committee further report,

for high crimes and misdemeanors. They,
therefore, recommend to tbe House tho adop

study, he can tarn his skill to acconnt in aid

hundreds of dollars have been saved ts him
by having learned to be his own meebanio.
t Now, boys, is it not worth yonr while to be
learning to do things f All may not have an
equal tact, or natural genius, for taming tbeb
hand to almost everything. But every one
onght to know enongh—no matter what bis
employment in life is to be—not to harness a
horse—if called to harnoss one in an emer
gency—with bis head towards the carriage, or
to put on a saddlo wrong end foremost, or to
think he has done a smart thing by making a
round button for a door, or patting inn screw
at each end of one that is properly made, as
some men with an honorary title at one or
both ends of their names hare done.
Wo commend this subject of learning to do
things to the attention of all boys; and we
presume the girls, too, may find it greatly to
their advantage to be learning to do things in
their sphere in life.—Congrcgationalist.

and shoes made at home. A shoemaker, or
cobbler, as be was then called, came with bis
beDcb and tools on his shoulder, and spent
days, and even weeks, making all tbo boots
and shoes of tbe whole family for a year.
Those occasions verp full of interest to

his knowledge and skill in mending old boots
and shoes were of more use to the family than
of recreation tn bim. Still be bas never re
