In all Georgia there is not a prettier little park
than that which surrounds the court house. It
is a garden spot, where overs of the beautiful
would like to linger. A good many Improve
ments have been made in the park lately, but
others are in con temptation. The county com
missioners have had It sown down in Mae and
orchard grass, and have had the old brick wall
torn away. The police force has started a flower
garden on either aide of the walk leading from
the entrance of police headquarters. These
changes have made a wonderful Improvement in
the appearance of the park, yet others are
needed. A lady suggested to ns yesterday that it
would be a good idea to have rustic seats placed
about in the park, for the benefit of weary pedes
trians and those who have a little leisure time to
spend. The wide, level walks make delightful
promenades, and the park will bo quite a popular
and pleasant resort for ladies and children in the
afteiroon. No lady, or child, need be afraid to
visit the park at any hour, as it will be keptun-
der strict police surveillance. The suggestion
about the seats is a good one. We noticed a
number of chairs and benches in the park yester
day afternoon, and they were largely sought for
by the ladies snd others. Bv the wsy, it
is not unlikely that a number of nice seats will
be donated the park by private citizens. A
gentleman remarked yesterday that he had a
couple of benches in hu front yard, which he in
tended to send to the park.
A number of pretty fountains would add much
to the apnearance of the park. A gentleman
■aid yesterday that he would stock a fountain
with gold fish, in case one was placed in the
park. It is more than likely that a subscription
will be taken up this week for the purpose of
buying a fountain. It is probable that the city
will also aid in this worn. Then, why not do
sway with the old well! It is of no use
to any one and disfigures the park. We believe
the county commissioners will do this. The lo
cation of the old well would be a splendid piece
for a large fountain.
We are informed that the county commission
ers contemplate having the court honae repaint
ed. the building certainly needs painting, and
an expenditure in lh ! s direction would be a wise
and appropriate one. The old blinds should also
be removed.
The following donations have been made to
the park:
A half-grown fawn, by Mr. George Curry.
A young a!lint ir, by Mr. John Bchnell.
A pair of white rabblts,by Mr. Q. E. Thomas,ir.
A pair of fox squirrels, by Mr. Homer Howard
A pair of cat squirrels, by Mr, Richard Smith.
Any other donations mode will be highly ap
preciated and used to the beet possible advant
age.

THE GRAU OPERA COMPANY.
The Week’s Engagement Will Commence
at the Opera Honse To-Night.
The Gran Opera company arrived in the city
test night, and will open a week's engagement
at Springer opera house to-night, with the pre
sentation of the Masco ts. The following edi
torial appeared in the Atlanta Constitution yes
terday:
The week’s engagement of the Grau - Opera
company, which closed test night with ita eighth
. was probably the most successful
run ever made in the opera honse In Atlanta.
The secret of the success of the company was
in the popular prices which were charged for
admission. There was not s poor audience dur
ing the entire week, sad the receipts of the com
pany for its whole engagement are flu beyond
the expectations of its managers. Night after
night the house was crowded, the audience in
creasing in size with each performance. Every
body seemed satisfied, and it is probable that the
engagement could have been successfully ex
tended for another week.
This simply shows the result of reasonable
dealing with our people. While the oompauy is

Death In Russell County.
Yesterday afternoon, at his home in Russell
county, five miles west of this city, Mr. Allen
Harden breathed his last, after a protracted ill
ness of consumption. Hr. Harden leaves a wife
and one child. He was a member of the Mfch-
sionary Baptist church, and was highly
in the community in which he lived.
Dr. Hopkins at St. Pant.
As advertised in the morning paper. Dr. L S.
Hopkins preached at St. Paul’s church at 11 a. m.
yesterday. Of the large and cultured audience
which the reputation of the speaker bad drawn
to hear him, it is safe to say not one was disap
pointed. .
Dr. Hopkins took for his theme the question:
“Why did God make man?” Every man, said
the preacher, has an ideal or mental picture of
what he would accomplish and what he wonld
himself be. No great or good life was ever lived
that was not planned to fill the outlines of some
definite conception of life or purpose. In order,
then, to rightly form such an ideal every man
must have the question pressed upon him:
God TYlffikte MBr*
“Why did God make man?” The
answer to this question involved a boldness that
mounted to the throne of the Infinite, and
sought to look into the secret purposes of God
himself. It involved thought broad enough to
take in the whole range of human life, with ita
intricate diversities of circumstance and char
acter. The speaker could not hope to answer the
satlsfectorily. He _ could give an aj>
question . _
proximate idea of what it should be—he coi
only suggest a line of thought which each one of
his congregation could follow out for himself,
and with the leisure and opportunities of a life
before him, approach nearer and nearer to the
great troth.
The old catechism in which the children need
to be taught asks: ‘ For what did God make
man’” and answers: “For hie own glory.” This
answer is capable of various construc
tions. If one should gather from
it that God made man so that from
the government that he should exercise over
man, and from the adoration he should com
mand from his creature, he might complacently
enjoy hie power and greatness, snch a conception
dishonored God. There is no such God. In an
other sense, the catechism answer might be cor
rect. If one could comprehend the feeling in a
mother’s heart when she clasps to her bosom her
first born; ff he eonld understand the expanse of
nature which s good fhther feels in his heart
w hen he contemplates his fhtherhood, he could
get a glimpse of God’s thoughts when he
made man. So the infinite nature of God
rejoiced that He might pour out upon His earthly
Children treasures of His love. The speaker
beautifully illustrated the love of God in patient
ly seeking to awaken in His children some gleam
of intelligence by which He might unfold His
purpose to them. How great is the obligation,
en, by which men are bound to attemg^tr

First Baptist Church.

THE NEW YORK STORE
“ Takes the Cake ” This Season.
It is the unanimous opinion of all that
Cargill’s stock of Spring and Summer Dry
Goods Is the handsomest in Columbus, and
the low prices at which they are being
sold is really wonderful. The proprietor
is daily complimented upon the taste dis
played in the selection of his stock, the
special attraction being tbe lovely shades
in Henriettas, Cashmeres, Challys, French
Beiges, Albatrosses, Nun’s Veilings, Sat
eens, Zephyr Organdies, Surahs and Moire
Silks, and the White Goods, Laces and Em
broideries are simply lovely. Every de
partment has ita attractions, and low prices
prevail throughout the stock. Think of
it. A good parasol for 25c.; Gents’ Best
Four-ply Linen Collars, new lot, 10c. each,
or$1.00 a dozen; a good Bustle for 10c.;
which will give ,you some idea of the way
they are selling goods. In addition to the
above attractions, the polite attention you
will receive from the clerks will make it a
pleasure to go to

We never deviate from our well-known
principle of
MODEST PROriTS!
And when this is applied to extremely
fashionable goods, on whiefh other houses
are accustomed to make what from our
standpoint are unreasonable demands, we
do not wonder that ladies are prone at first
to doubt whether the goods are what they
seem; but buyers of discriminating judg
ment aDd cultivated tastes, who do not
care to pay the unnecessary tax simply to
have the stamp of these firms or the other
firms on their goods before they can trust
their own good senses, are not slow to rec
ognize the enormous pecuniary benefit de
rived in purchasing from us, as luxuries,
like necessities, are sold at the popular
prices on which our reputation was made,
and which will always remain its corner
stone.
