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.

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. SPECIAL NOTICE.

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.
