We learn from a letter received by
n gentleman of this city that some
time since a prominent lady member
of the Clarkcsville Presbyterian
Church made that church a present
of some handsome chandeliers.
Shortly after their being placed in
the church, some unknown parties
entered, it is supposed in the night,
and tore the chandeliers from their
position and bruised and mutilated
them to such an extent that they
were rendered utterly useless. We
are at a loss to imagine the motive
that could prompt such a diabolical
action, and sincerely hope that the
perpetrators of this infamons deed
may be soon apprehended, and the
justice which their crime deserves be
speedily meted out to them.
A lirancl Temperance Hall).
On Tuesday last the grand picnic
of the I. O. G. T.’s took place at
Maysville, on the Northeastern Rail
road, and a most enjoyable occasion
it was, the train which left Athens
on Tuesday morning, carried quite
a number of ladies and gentlemen
from this place, and large accessions
were made at each station between
this point and the appointed place,
arri ing at Maysville, while we ex
pected to see a large attendance, we
were surprised beyond measure, at
the number of people who were con
gregated about the depot. Burns’
Silver Cornet Band were engaged for
the occnssion and added largely by
their presence The procession was
formed at the residence of Mrs.
Simms’, and marched from thereto
the grove almost opposite the depot,
where a stand had been erected for
the hand and the various speakers
who were invited, and commodious
seats were arranged for the
participating lodges, upon ar
rival at the speakers stand
opening address was made
Worthy Chief Templar, M
Caldwell, who, in an eloquent
feeling manner, bade all welcome
whether they were members of the
Order or not. The next speaker
introduced was Mr. W. II. Simpkins.
This gentleman made a very neat ad
dress upon the subject of Temper
ance, which was well received. Rev.
J. F. Reaves, of Atlanta, State
Deputy Grand Worthy Chief Tem
plar was the next speaker, this gen
tleman entertained the audience for
about an hour with a telling appeal
for the cause in which he was enlis
ted, his speech was interspersed with
appropriate anecdotes, and illustrated
by descriptive cuts which he exhib
ited to the audience, upon the con
clusion of Mr. Reaves’ speech, Mrs.
M. C. Atk'ms read an essay appropri
ate to the occasion.
Our fellow townsman, Mr. A. A.
Bell, came next in order and altougli
Gus” said he was totally unpre
pared, we must say that. we were not
aware that lie could do so well and
had not im time ” been called upon
him, so enthusiastic did he become,
we dare say that he would have
eclipsed the efforts of the trained
champions of temperance between
whom he was sandwiched, upon the
conclusion of Mr. Bell’s speech, the
most appreciated speech of the day
was made by Mr. Caldwell who in a
stentorian voice which reached every
ear in the vast audience exclaimed
“ Dinner is ready.” The crowd upon
the grounds was estimated at 2,000
to 2,500, and one would suppose that
in such a throng some confusion must
of necessity occur Tipon such an im
portant announcement. Not so how
ever, quiet and orderly they gathered
around the immense table, 250 feet
long, and none of that grabbing and
jostling, pell moll, rush, ususally inci
dent to a public occassion of this
character took place, the preparations
were ample, and whoever did not sa
tiate their appetites had themselves *o
blame. After dinner the societies
and guests assembled around the
stand, and were entertained for some
two or three hours by the Rev. Mr.
Oliver, of Banks county, and the
Grand Worthy Chief Templar of the
state, Mr. J. G. Thiower, of Atlanta,
t'.-e former gentleman made an ex
ceedingly interesting speech and put
sledge hammer blows for
is very “ tricky ” however, as several
feats of legerdemain performed by
him after the cxerci. es were closed,
demonstrated.
The speaking over, the vast crowd,
which ha»l assembled from all the
neighboring counties, began to dis
perse, several remained until night
fall and enjoyed the festivities of a
dance which was not however in the
progjamme. Nothing to mar the
pleasure of the, occasion occurred,
and; it was the expression of every
one who attended, that they had en
joyed themselves hugely and had a
real good time.
Served Her Right.
We are informed that as the night
train on the Athens branch was ap
proaching the city on Thursday
morning, a colored damsel threw a
rock at the passing train, which en
tered the window of the passenger
coach, striking a lady. Conductor
Mell promptly stopped and backed
his train to ascertain who threw the
inissh). The girl, in the meantime,
took fright and refugeed under an
adjoining house. Her whereabouts,
however, was pointed out by two
geiitleme.i who witnessed the deed
and saw her run. She was promptly
removed and a sound Hogging admin-
i. lered ior her carelessness, for such
we think it was. Mr. Mell deserves
especial credit lor his prompt action
in this matter, and we congratulate
the Georgia Railroad upon obtaining
the services of so efficient a conductor.
Look out, Prince, you will get your
self into business; these little folks
won’t rest until they have another
jubile.

The T-ula Baptist Churcli.
Rev. E. S. V. Briant, of Lula, was
in in our city yesterday in behalf of
the Baptist Church, which the good
people of that place are now trying
to erect in their midst. Wo were
much gratified to hear Mr. Briant say
that lie had met with much encour
agement in our city. Nothing could
contribute more to the growth, pros
perity, happiness and well-being ol
that village and its people than the
erection of a house o worship. We
wish them God-speed in their enter

wilj pot cease his efforts until the work
is tuny accomplished. Let all, who
can, aid in building the Lula Baptist

Sunday night, every seat in the audi

that an individual who is observant,
and stores up the ideas of others and
his own experience, and concentrates
them to practical purposes in a single
force which acts without confusion,
possesses what is known as common
sense. Measured by this standard,

Good Advice.—Now is the time
of year for Phcuinonin, Lung Fever,
i&c. Every family should have a
bottle of Boschee’s German Syrup.
Don’t allow for one moment that
cough lo take boll of your child,
our family or yourself. Consump
tion, Asthma, Pheutnonia, Croup,
Hemorrhages, and other fatal diseases
may set in. Although it is true
German Syrup is curing thousands
of these dreaded diseases, yet it is
much belter to have it at hand when
three doses will cure yon. One Bot
tle will last your whole family a win
ter and keep you safe from danger.
If you are consumptive, do not rest
until you have tried this remedy.
