The revival commenced some time
since at the Methodist Church has re
sulted in the accession of several members
to that denofnination, who made a pub
lic profession ou Sabbath last. The
meeting will probably continue for some
time, should the interest heretofore man
ifested not diminish greatly.
The report has reached us that the
only Hilliard saloon in this place has
closed for the Summer for want of pat
ronage. If Milledge,ville keeps on af
ter that style, and supported by a Lodge
of Good Templars, the Bar-rooms too will
doubtless soon be affected with the dry
rot, or some other equally fatal disease.
TIKE HA ILK 0.4 D ACCIDENT.
A paragraph appeared in these col
umns last week that spoke of the acci
dent of the train running off the rail
road bridge. The train did run off
but in the manner that all peace
able and law abiding cars should, that
is, off thc^eud of the bridge,—remaining
on the track, This was the idea intend
ded to be conveyed; but several of the
State papers allowed themselves the
privilege of adding a little, in that they
represented the train as off the track
also. We made no such statement, and
vre hope those exchanges who caused
that impression to prevail, will make
the correction that the state of the case
demands. Look at the wording a little
more carefully the next time, neighbors,
and don’t be hoaxed so badly again.

The Lodge will meet at their Iloom

Hancock St. to Wayne, down Wayne to

services at the Church the Fraternity
will return to the Lodge Room.

The public generally are invited to
attend the Oration.
GROCERIES
AND
We were shown on Saturday a cotton
bloom that came from a field cultivated
by a hard-working negro, and appar
ently, the rain has interfered but little
with his prospects, as his entire field of
six acres has a stand of cotton two feet
high, filled with blooms, and entirely
free from grass. That beats any field
we have heard of this season.
The first peaches of the season were
for sale in town last week at the low
figure of two dollars per bushel. It is
nit in testimony that the wagon bringing
them had to return home loaded for
want of purchasers. No great quantities
bare as yet made their appearance, but
as the crop is exceedingly large in this
section, the market will ere long be fill
ed to repletion.
'Vatermelons were for sale here last
week, hat such was the rapidity with
which they disappeared, that we did
not even learn the price.
W e saw not lung since, on the line of
the railroad, nut far off, a field of a dozen
aci e B planted in watermelons; and if the
owner has a {air season, he Ca,i supply
almost any detnaud lur the article.
A Lodge of Good Templars was suc
cessfully organized last week by Mr. M.
J. Cofer, of the Grand Lodge, aided by
a number of the ladies and gentlemen
of Milledgeville. The beginning is
very good, and if like success attends
them all the while, a great temperance
reform will be effected in this commun
ity. Several have already joined since
its organization, and many more will
do so in the course of a few weeks. The
members are sanguine of achieving
marked success; and we hope that their
expectations will be verified.
Covington without the influence of
any Temperance Society, closed her bar
rooms, and it appears reasonable that
Milledgeville can, with one.
We give below a list of the officers of
the Lodge:
C P Crawford, W C T,
Mrs. F B Herty, W V T,
W E Frankland, Secfetary,
B R Herty, F Secretary,
Mrs. B R Herty, Treasurer,
T T Windsor, Chaplain,
J A Orme, Worthy Marshal,
Mrs. J M Darnell, Inside Sentinel,
Dr. J W Herty, Lodge Deputy,
A good joke was played off on the
Publisher of the Recorder, by the em'
ployees.of the office, on his return from
New York. When tho news of his ex'-
pected arrival came, they made up a plo 4
to create the impression upon his mind
that the office was closed, and a bar room
pened in the basement. A sign “Bar
Room” was hung out, a grand.display of
empty bottles, jugs, decanters, &c., was
arranged on an improvised counter, the
rest of the office was locked up, and a bar
keeper appointed. Upon his arrival,
no one could be found about the com
posing room; hut entering the bar, he ac
quired some information as to the 6tate
of affairs. The editor had run away to
Texas, the printers were off loafing,
and the building was rented out for a
bar,billiard saloon, &c. The deception
for a time was complete, until an exam
ination of the bottles proved them to be
empty. The Proprietor at last com
prehended the situation, and enjoyed it
hugely, when the printers made their
appearance from their biding places,
whence they bad witnessed bi3 dismay.

“•RAILROADS TOO MUCH”
The mania for the construction of rail
roads is playing havoc with the equan
imity of a certain planter, who lives be
tween Milledgeville and Macon, in the
triang e between the Central, and Maco >
& Augusta Roads -His residence, is
about five miles from the Central main
trunk, half-a dozen from the Milledge
file branch, an! two from the Augusta
line* moreover, he lives in expectation
of i-eeing th Savannah a'nd Atlanta road
pass directly through his house. He
says that he must either cease (arming,
or leave this country for the West, as
in ten years he thinks there will not be
twenty square yards of arable land
in middle Georgia that is not cut by a
railroad track. Hi3 opinion is. that the.
people bad better let railroads alone
and attend to the time-honored avocation
of tilling the soil in peace; or at le«9t
if they will not. they ought to allow an
honest man to live in qubt, an attend to
Lis own affairs.
