The hall was filled with a large audience, many of whom could not find seats, the ladies and number of gentlemen being on the stage and the gallery having a crow ., of colored men in it, besides others who found places elsew-liere. Several songs by a good choir and a prayer by Rev. Mr. Hammond formed the pre liminary exercises and then the latter gentleman in a few appropriate re marks announced Hon. F. G.

The perfor- music is line, the lit and the hits are fie point.—Chatta- tl the people among whom he w as born and reared, and who, while he was yet quite young, placed him upon that road in public life, in which we believe he is destined to reach place of high distinction. This very cor dial reception, evidently touched the heart of the speaker and under its in fluence, he made a very graceful and feeling acknowledgement of his obli gations to his old friends and neigh bors, and proceeding to the discus sion of the question at issue he was soon in complete sympathy and ac cord with his large audience. Under the circumstances, the address was, we think, quite a remarkable one. He said he had never made a temperance speech nor had he ever heard one made. Besides that, his official duties had so engrossed his time that lie had not been able to prepare himself at all for the task before him, and lie would therefore have to treat the sub ject under discussion, from the stand point of his own personal observation of the terrible evils of l the system, which it was the effort of the prohibi tionists to extirpate. Anil most suc cessfully and forcibly did he maintain the cause he advocated, drawing largely for his facts and deductions upon his own observation and expe rience in the discharge of his duties as Solicitor General of his judicial cir cuit. He earnestly disclaimed any personal prejudice and ill will to those who sold intoxicating liquors. He stated that they were merely in the exercise of their legal rights, and that from his personal knowledge, many were highly honorable and up right men. He had no war to make on them, but he was ready to wage unrelenting war upon the business they were unhappily engaged in, be cause of its terrible effects upon the interests of the people. For the want of space, we cannot follow' the speak er in his most effective address. From its being founded upon his own per sonal observation, there was a pleas ant absence of the hackniedand stock arguments so commonly in use and a freshness and originality that was most pleasant and interesting. There can be no doubt that it was one of the most effective and convincing presen tations of the prohibition eause that we have had in this community, and the continuous and enthusiastic ap plause which cropped out almost eve ry minute, gave evidence of that fact. Among other things, he said that in his circuit, the three counties of Bry an, Liberty and Effingham, are “dry” counties and McIntosh is a "wet” one. In going the rounds of his courts, the result was that he had three times as many prosecutions for crime to con duct in the county of McIntosh, as he had in all the three ‘dry” coun ties above named. In Effingham, where formerly it took two weeks to jet through with the business, they held court only one week and there was but one prosecution for crime conducted by him. He further said, in support of his assertion that "pro hibition does prohibit,” which is de nied by the^wniskj- men, that in the three "dry" counties of his circuit he had not had even one case to prose cute of any one charged with selling liquor in violation of law. Judge DuBignon seemed to regret that the w r et party were making so hard and useless a fight against pro hibition, for said he, though they should succeed in the present contest, with 111 prohibition counties out of 137 in tlie State, the next legislature was as sure to enact a prohibition law to govern the whole State, as any thing in the future almost could be. He could with the utmost assurance, predict that twelve months from to day, there would not be a drop of liquor legally sold (meaning as a bev erage) in the whole state. Any money spent by the “wet” men for their cause, he therefore held to be a very bad investment. Judge DuBignon made an address at Camp Creek Church on Saturday afternoon and at Harrisburg on Sat urday night upon the subject of pro hibition. On Sunday he returned to Savannah, imperative business en gagements calling him home. The prohibitionists of Baldwin are under lasting obligations to him for his very able and effective advocacy of their cause. New Quarters. On Tuesday next the pioneers, J. W. Burke & Co., will move their pia nos into their new building, which has just been added on to the rear of their present store, on Cotton avenue. This gives them an immense store of nearly 200 feet long, and arranged with modern conveniences. Thusthey will have one department alone for pianos, one for organs, one for fram ing pictures, and still another for gen eral stock, stationary, artist supplies, sheet music, small musical instru ments, etc., all combined, forms one of the largest and most attractive stores in the South. And, in the language of an enthusiastic and admiring friend, w r e say may the Pioneers long wave their banner.—Macon Tele graph, Feb. 28. IVe are glad to hear of the success of this old established house, there is certainly no better in the country— perfectly reliable, and its a pleasure to any one to deal with them. They handle the best make of Pianos and Organs—hence there is no trouble, no dissatisfaction after buying, as is so common with Music Houses handling unreliable instruments.

He said this as a question in which every man, omaii and child, -white and black, in this county are interested. He then proceeded to deliver an address of nearly two hours, in which, without saying anything offensive, he made a most powerful and convincing argu ment for prohibition. The address was well received and made friends for the cause. Personal. LENTEN SERVICES. 8T. STEPHEN'S CHURCH, MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., A week Rev. Mr. 1 Kev.

The liquor tax in Bald win county is but a small part of the general state educational fund, and if there were no such tux derived from our county. Baldwin’s pro rata of the fund would not be lessened by live dollars. L. Carrington, Co. School Com. B. C. Rev. R. W. ANDERSON, Rector. ASH WEDNESDAY.—Service and Sermon, 11 A. m. Hon. T. J.

Mr. Editor:—I have a word for the praying women of our county will you please publish it? The time is short. This contest we are in will end the 22d. If we are faithful sol diers of the cross, the victory is ours. Everything necessary* has been done outside of prayer. Remember “one can etaase a thousand and two put ten thousand to flight.” One praying woman can win many voters for the Lord’s side. “The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong.” Who is willing to fust one, two or three days and pray for victory? Who is willing to abstain irom now until the victory is won? I will join von in both. Let each one decide the ilavs to fast separately. If you never won a victory in pmyor, now is a good time to begin. I am your sister strong in the faith. B Mrs. S. D. Woottkn. March 8th, 1886. BY BP. WHITTINGHAM. O Lord 1 who through ages past hast trained Thy Church, as at this season in finding out and striving against the secret or the open sins which may be displeasing in Thy sight ; by the help of the Holy Spirit lay open to me my heart and life, that I may in humble penitence, lay them at the feet of the Cross of Christ for cleansing through His most pre cious blood. Amen. Notice. A^tbiscitv taxed by the annual or dinance published, are hereby-notified that the same is past due.
