K. J. Corley, who last year served m Albany, Ga. The de nomination in Albany very much re gretted the removal of Rev. Mr. Cor ley, but his new chqrgc will greet him cordially and render his sojourn with them as pleasant as possible. Ho preached his first sermon here on Sunday’, the 15th December, since which lime lie has been absent ar ranging for the removal of liis'Taipil v to lie is announced to preach here again on Sunday next, Sth inst. Rev. R. M. Lockwood has beou appointed to the church ill Hast Ala- Kcoii. He leaves us with the well wish es of the community. During his Btny here lie labored faithfully to pro- the welfare of his church, ami the improved appearance of the build' ing bears partial evidence of his ener gy and determination. Troos The Baptist Sunday-School had its Cristinas Tree at the Court House on Christians night, and after the drawing of presents, an invitation was given to a bountiful supper pre pared up-stairs. Ihe School sang several beautiful hymns, and the hours sped by merrily. The night was exceedingly- inclement, yet the attendance was large. It was a pleasant evening for both young and oi I, and many of the little folks will yearn in.tltcir hearts for the coming of anolitcr Christmas. • Tho Methodist and Kpiscopal Churches united in giving their Sun day-Schools a Christinas Tree. It was erected in the Com l House and dei • •rated on Tuesday, the last day of the old yirM At night a great many people assembled to. witness the drawing of its wonderful gifts to the juveniles, and occasionally some special present, of a ludicrous kind, was announced lor an adult. Appropriate hymns were sung by the Schools, and as usual an excellent laid: was spread w ith delicacies and ornamental cakes. Ere the new year was ushered in at the hour of twelve, 'closing the hol iday season, many of the dear little people had ceased their exultations of joy and were wrapt in sweet slnm lier. May the year that has just dawned bring them all together again around another happy Christ mas tree. Masquerade Tarty at Ferry.

The Now Organ at the Episcopal ' S r Otrarcb Our friends of the Episcopalian faith have very recently added to their church one of (lie valuable organs manufactured by the celebrated firm of Mason A Hamlin of New York. It is perhaps one of the sweetest-toned instruments of similar use now iu tlie Stale, and was manufactured especially lor exhibition st tlie first great State Fair held in Macon in 1809, where it took tlie first premium. Alter the Fair it was purchased by S'. Paul’s Church, of Macon, where it remained until secured by tlie Episcopal Church of Hawkinsviile. The original cost of the orgau was five hundred dollars, vet with slight assistance the Kpiscopals have mnnaged to buj it, and nre now possessed of as line an instru ment for church music as could be desired. We were present on Sabbath morning last during Sumlay-icliooi services, and bid tlie pleasure of hearing Mrs. Lowe, tin organist, played several hymns, which were sung hy llic choir. The vocal uccoiupuui meut was good, while tlie sweet, gentle tones from the organ rose and died away with lively cadence. The iipeidpdea were really excellent, and could uot have failed to impress those fond of sacred music. The Episcopal Church in our town is yet small. Inn increasing. Its members are composed of enrcgrtic, intlu entiul citizens, who have, within a year, erected a neat house of worship, and fur nished it with pinny of tin- orn um-liU and convcnh nces. In u brief while tlie interi or will lie oiled :fnd painted, and then, indeed, the .Episcopal* will have rea izod how much can be necamplisliud by united, delccmiuid effort.

Recollecting the trite old saying that "Christmas comes but once a year, And everybody should have their share,” our people determined to conclude their homage to tlie dying year with feasts, Christmas trees, orations, etc. One of the most enjoyable of 'licte occasions was the supper given hy Samaritan Lodge of Good Templars on Thursday n glil last at the Court House. Previous to supper a most interesting nnd It is to be Imped serviceable lecture was delivered by Rev. W. D. Adkinsou, of Greensboro. Mr. Adkinson is tlie Grand Lecturer of the State of Georgia, and had been specially invited by Samaritan Lodge. The subject of temperance was discussed for a period ruuniug back forty years in the history of our State. The speaker al luded to the Rev. Jesse Mercer, founder of Mercer University, who many years ago established in Georgia the first temperance paper ever published in the South. Ft.r a long while the paper was maintained at Ids own expense, until lie finally aroused the people to the importance of a temper ance organization. He drew glowing pictures of tlie drunk ard's wife sud children as they hover around a cheerless hearth-stone uml await, its it were, tlie advent of a storm. How the wife, with n heavy heart nnd forlorn couutennnce, lives, day by day, to see her children grow up in misery and degrada tion. How those children arc deprived of the- comforts of life mid tlie blessings of edm atiyip th.-itdlm'.i father may guzzle liis whisky and unconsciously pass into tlie inebriate’s grave—“unwept and unlionor e l," as is so often tlie e..sc. How the bail example of ill*: father is often followed by one or more of his children, when they could have made honorable men nnd shin ing marks for tlie rising generation. Referring to tlie v rious church organi zations throughout the land, the orator said neither of tlie denominations—Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal, Calhoiii' or Presby terian—restricted their uiemlM-rs to tlie to tal use of liquors. He believed that the churches should he more vigorous iu |«-r --miuing tin- use of spirits amongst their number. The lecture was interspersed with nu merous anecdotes of a humorous cast, which never failed to elicit the strongest applause nnd create the most wholesome laugh. Throughout its delivery tie au dience paid llic most profound attention nnd never for n moment grew weary. But let us allude to the rich least pre pared in tlie,upper story of tlie building. Nothing could surpass the tables in their beauty and tiutrfiil arrangement. The committee of ladies—Mrs. M. S Cook, Mrs T. J. Ilcldcrs, Miss Annie Oliver and Mis* Annie Lasseter, assisted hy others — could not have excelled their efforts, on tliis occasion had they hefii selected to ar range tin- tallies tor a l/>ree of some great potentate. The cakes, which were made and dressed by the lair ladies ol our town, were nio lels of beauty, and evinced high proficiency in the culinary art. The h ij'diiig ,was crowded with tlie good Templars and their gucain, and more beauty, intelligence aud refinement have not usremlili‘4 there on one occasion with in our memory. Tin: evident happiness of the throng whs sufficient alone almost to induce a wayward brother to forsake his bottle and join tin- Good Templars iu their nolde mission. The lovely and aeeam plished hid e- that lend their smiles mid infiueiico to tiie baud should entice tlie young and the old from their paths of ruin. The Good Tempi irs have arcoiil|»ils!ied gfral good in this lirnnd land of ours and "till liivir work is uufinished. Willi all il was a festive evening, nnd will long be remcinlicred. At wliat hour the assembly,pispoiKeti wo know not, lull at tlie lllli stroke of tlie rlork merriment and vivacity were still manifest in the smiles ami laughter of tlie gay young people. Before closing our notice of the even ipg's enterlaimiiPßt, wc would tender to tile roinmlltca of ladie« our most grntt-lill acknowledgments for a la.ge, lieatillful sake, and assure the members of Good Samaritan Isidge of our sincere desire to see them prosper in their laudable work.

He says the girl told her husband to “go to tlie d-r—iuing room, lor site didn't ligru him u hit. He says they arc now living as they did in the days of their youth—site with her tatlier and lie with hia. The person giving ns the above informa tion lives at Lumber City, aud probably is a disconsolate bqqjtrlor wire was jilted many j ears ago. A Comfortable Home No man can have a comfortable home, especially in winter, when the 'Wind finds an opening between tlie sashes, under tlse doors and over tlie blinds. A door that will not open easily, a window that will not cl«se,»saeli that will not be raised ; these are among the little things that Spoil tlie happines of minions. Avoid these aod many other discomforts by patron izing the leading Manufacturer of Doors, Bashes an.l Blinds In Ro»t’ieni Stales, Mr. P. P. Toalo, of Charleston, f. C. Send for his price list. declS-lm. ▲ Beautiful Present Mr. David C. Joiner was the re cipient, on Tuesdny night last, at the Christinas Tree of the Methodist and Episcopal Sunday Cchools, of the most handsome cake that could posi bly bo the work of fair hands. The trimming was admirable, and those large hearts—symbols of love and devotion—wore enough to captivate a man less susceptible than our young triend Joiner. Wc are pleased to know we have in our midst ladies who hare thus proven themselves so highly educated in tlie culinary department. The Atlanta Herald learns from Washington that it is rumored there that Jesse lloltzcluw, of Houston county, who wns lately appointed to succeed Dover as revenue collector at Atlanta, can’t giro the necessary bond.
