Christmas Festival.
At 3) o’clock p. U.'Christmas day,
the Methodist Sunday School and
their friends met at the church, which
was decorated in evergreens. Upon
the wall m the rear of the chancel
appeared the words, "The Babe in
the Manger, with the star tn the
East, and from the pulpit appeared a
banner bearing the inscription : "The
Lord "loveth a cheerful giver.” We
can only give the programme briefly.
The Superintendent, Capt. W. t!
Conn, opened the serviced by request
ing the congregation to rise and sing,
“Glory to God in the Highest.” Mr!
Edge Wynne led the music with the
cornet and Miss Alice Wright presid
ed at the organ. “Tidings of Joy
was then sung, Capt. Crawf6rd read
the first eleven verses of the 2nd chap
ter of Matthew. Prayer by Rev. T.
H. Gibson—Song, “Hail to the Light”
—Responsive reading from ‘‘Chimes
of Bethlehem”, led by Capt. Crawford
—Recitation by Master Fred Newell—
Song, “Sweet Gniding Star”—Respon
sive reading—Recitation by Master
Otto Corm—Responsive reading. A
collection for the poor was then taken
up while the choir sang “Joy and
Peace”. After more responsive read
ing Capt. Newell arose in his place
and said, while it was not down In
the programme, he desired to address
a few words to the Superintendent.
He then stated in a very pleasing
manner, that he had been commis
sioned by the officers and teachers of
the School to express to him their high
appreciation of nislong and faithful
services as Superintendent, and to
present to him a slight token of their
esteem. Capt. Newell then advanced
and presented him with a handsome
gold-headed cane. The modest Su
perintendent was taken completely by
surprise, but responded in a few reef
ing and appropriate words. The
choir then sang, “In the sweet bye
and bye“ and the ‘benediction was
pronounced by Rev. Mr. Gibson.

In a few hours more, the present
year will end, and if not forgottem
will become a thing of shadows. Yet
much has occurred for future thought
and its lessons should be treasured up
to guide the living in better paths
and nobler purposes. We live in vain
if we can find nothing in the dying
year to encourage us in closer sympa
thy with our fellow creatures, for
their good as well as our own. A
year is no small space in the march
of time, aud he has found it desolate
to whom it has brought no cheering
example to guide to greater stretches
in his own weal, and firmer resolves
to link with his own, that of others
by deeds unselfish anil leading to
closer and purer efforts to make life
less desolate, and cheque it with all
the weal compatible with mortal trials
and human benefleienees. We are led
to these few remarks by contemplating
the crime which in the past, or rath6 r
the present year, has checkered tfiir
land, and indeed, all the lands of earth
with blood. Onr ties to life are great,
bat many a cheek of rosy hue, has
been untimely paled by the assassin’s
deadly weapon; even childhood has
Rot escaped its deadly demonism.
This seems to be allowed by Fate.
Alas: that it is so. It calls upon all
tne good to unite in every way aud
P°JY er t° stay the desolation.
. ^ n y thoughts crowd upon the
mind, but we intended no lengtbv
dissertation and conclude by wishing
oar kind readers as happy a new year
as the troubles aud perplexities inci
dent to human affairs will permit.
A more prosperous time than we ex
perience, was anticipated, hut trials
are incident to human life, and again
in closing these few words we invoke
the blessings of Heaven upon you all,
and trust in the coming year, your
paths may be strewed with flowers,
and above all, with the blessings of a
benign and Heavenly power.
Greene county has decided ’to re
main “wet” by a majority vote of ;50.
On the night of the 23rd the stores
of Mr. Ira C. West and Mr. James
Stevens at Cooper's iu this county
were entered by burglars. Mr. West
was robbed to the amount of about
fifty dollars in goods. Mr. Stevens
missed several articles but does not
know the extent of his losses. Mr.
West savs he will pay $25.00 for the
thief.
Deputy Collector Mark Johnston,
aided by J. W. C. Carmichel, a citizen
of Jackson, has captured one of the
largest illicit distilleries in Georgia.
The distillery was located four miles
north of Jackson, near the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad,
and was run by L. A. Davidson .and
N. J. Denson. Both men were captur
ed in the act of distilling, and were
escorted to Macon, where the prelimin
ary trial will take place.
Will Thompson, a young photogra
pher, was adjudged a lunatic by Or
dinary Calhoun at Atliuita, Thursday.
He is a raving maniac. Wliile being
tried, though manacled, he tried to
kick everything iu reach to pieces
and cursed tin* court and jury until Tic
was hoarse. The ordinary says that
he is the most violent lunatic who
ever appeared before him. Mean
time he is under a strong special
guard at his home. Young Thompson
married Miss Delia Hutchins, a beau
tiful girl, on whose account young
Tom Alexander killed himself about
two years ago when she was about 13.
Her father, Mr. Robert Hutchins,
was for years oil the Atlanta police
fbree—was afterwards a revenue
raider under Marshal Fitzsiuions.
He was shot and killed several years
ago while on the hunt for moonshiners
in the vicinity of Red Oak.
The Baptist Church Burned.
On Thursday night, about twelve
o'clock, the Baptist Church iu this
city was discovered to he on fire. The
Are had made such progress before
the people gathered that nothing use
ful could be done except to save the
melodion, the pulpit, chandeliers, and
perhaps some other small movable
property, which was accomplished.
The sexton had lighted and warmed
the church for the regular weekly
praver meeting but none was held
thafc night.
The church was built in 1835 and
had been remodelled recently at a
cost of about $2,000. Its interior had
been completely changed and pre
sented a very tasteful and attractive
appearance. It is gratifying to know
that a subscription list for the pur
pose of rebuilding the church was
started the next day, (christmas) and
before night over $2,000 had been sub
scribed. At this writing (Monday)
we learn that the amount has been
increased to about $3,0Q0.
It is needless to say that the Bap
tist church members and congrega
tion have sustained a heavy loss.
The burden of raising a sufficient sum
to rebuild the church should not rest
upon them alone. The recent remod
elling of the burned building and a
new parsonage now being erected,
cost them so much that they are less
able at this time to respond to this
new demand upon their resources
than they otherwise would be. Be
sides, a church for that denomination
to worship in is a necessity for us as a
community. The interests of onr city
are involved in it. Without it, one
source from which we may expect _ to
increase our growing population
would be cut off, and that an impor
tant one. Furthermore, no Christian
here knows when his own denomina
tion may suffer a similar loss and may
need the sympathy an^ help of the
brethren of other churches. These
are all considerations of the situation,
we might say, from a mere business
point of view.
But when we take into account that
Christian love and sympathy which
should and we verily believe does ex
ist between the different denomina
tions in this city, all being brethren
and followers of the same Lord and
Master, we scarcely see the necessity
for any pressing appeal to members of
the other churches to give the Baptist
brethem all the substantial help that
each one is able to afford, at this time
of need. Let the motto be as it was
in Macon when the Baptfatchuren
there was recently burned, ‘Fut tne
churchback.” We shall be surprised
if the people of Milledgeville fall be
hind those of Macon, whoso promptly
^ generously raised the money that,
w^ needed to rebuild the burned
