ing at 1% o’clock. Meeting as usual
to-day at the Hall: Prayer meeting at
6>2 a. m.; Bible reading at 4 p. m.;
voluntary meeting at 7> 2 p. m.; meet
ing at First Ward Mission Chapel at
1%. P- m - The above appointments are
all well attended. The lectures of Mr.
Needham, at the Reading, on the Ta
bernacle, are very interesting indeed,
and instructive. Those who stay away
are missing a rich treat, for the Irish
Evangelist seem3 to be bringing to
bear all of his natural tact upon the
pictures and paintings he is using to
make them beautiful and illustrative.
All persons in the city are cordially
invited to attend. M. H. Lane,
General Secretary.
Missing Newspapers.
The newspaper stealers are again on
the rampage. A number of papers
have disappeared, especially on Greene
street, after our carriers have left
them. It seems as though boys follow
in the wake of the carrier, and when he
is at a safe distance they slip up to a
door or in a piazza and grab the paper,
and then sell it. This is annoying to
subscribers as well as publishers.
We hope those who fail to receive
their papers will call at the office and
get a copy. We are endeavoring to de
tect the parties who steal the Consti
tutionalist after it is lef|at the houses
of subscribers. If caught, the law will
be allowed to take its course and the
guilty party have a chance of making
brick for Mr. Hallahan.
Death of Mr. Thos. Dunnegan.
Mr. Thomas Dunnegan, a well known
resident and business man of Ham
burg, S. C., died at his residence in that
place Sunday morning after a short
illness of pneumonia. The funeral
took place yesterday morning from the
Catholic Church in this city.
Mr. Dunnegan was a native of Ireland,
but for probably more than 30 years
has been resident in this section. He
was for many years engaged in the
manufacture of brick near Hamburg,
and proved to be a most successful
business man. He was unmarried.
A Balloon Ascension.
Prof. King, the well known aeronaut,
has been in Augusta for some days
past. He has sent for his balloon,
which he expects to receive in a short
time and will probably make an ascen
sion from this city.
Prof. King is known to our citizens,
having made ascensions here, which
attracted great attention at the time.
It is to be hoped he will be successful
in making arrangements for an ascen
sion here at an early day.
Prize Shooting.
The Augusta Schuetzen Club had
their regular monthly shooting yester
day. There was a full attendance of

by H. A. Brahe, making 55 rings;

won by 0. E. Sherer, 53 rings.
Base Ball Games.
A match game of base ball was play
ed at the Richmond Academy yester
day afternoon between the “Katie Lee”
and “ Young America ” clubs. After a
very interesting game, the “Young
Americas ” won by a score of 16, the
“ Katie Lees ” scoring 8.
A game w T as also played at the Pa
rade Ground between the first and sec
ond nines of the National Club, whieh
resulted iif favor of the second nine by
one run.
An Out-Door Meeting.
The out-door meeting conducted by
members of the Young Men's Christian
Association, Sunday afternoon, near
the Augusta Factory, was very largely
attended, and was a great success for
the first meeting of that character.
Most of those present were young peo
ple and many seemed impressed with
the services.

Impressive Service in the Presbyte
rian Church.
On Sabbath morning last the Presby
terian Church, of this city, was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity. The pastor
delivered a telling sermon from Eph.
iv, 5, “One Faith,” at the close of
which twenty-four members were ad
mitted to the church on profession of
faith, and eleven .adults baptised.
Many strangers were present as spec
tators and co-worshippers. The vast
assembly remained in breathless si
lence during the entire service. Many
of the young peoplo who were ad
mitted have been under conviction,
and in a serious frame of mind for a
long time, but during the sessions of
the Convention of the Y. M. C. A., and
the services of Mr. Needham since the
Association closed its annual meeting,
these young people have declared their
wish to unite with the church.
The Kirk session of this church have
resolved to hold a special communion
at the close of the morning service on
next Lord’s Day, at which all the mem
bers admitted last Sabbath, and others \
who are expected to unite this week, ;
will commune with the church for the j
first time.

ter Mr. McWade “displays marked
ability at every step, and there is that
within him which promises a brilliant,
future on the stage. Already has he
taken rank among the first comedians,
and as he is a hard student, he will re
tain his place and boldly challenge
others for the lead.” :

The Wrong Side of the Meridian.
—On the down hill side of life, which
an old medical writer quaintly terms
“ the wrong side of the meridian,”
when the functions decay and the frame
gradually bends under the weight of
years, the system requires to be sus
tained under the burden imposed upon
it. Innumerable physical ailments and
infirmities then press upon it to which
it had been in earlier life a stranger.
The surest and pleasantest support and
solace of declining years is found in
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, long re
cognized as the most wholesome and
agreeable of diffusible stimulants, the
most potent of tonics and alteratives.
The aged and infirm may place im

The Atlanta correspondent of the
Griffin Star gives the following sample
of the work of the Legislature :
In the House a bill cutting off Bar
field’s lot on which his still house is
situated into Henry county (where his
residence is) from Spalding, passed,
but will hardlyjget through the Senate.
This little job cost tho Treasury more
than the lot and still house are worth,
and the only object was to allow the
owner to make his returns to the rev
enue officers in Atlanta, Henry being
in that and Spalding in the Macon cir
cuit. Such bills ought n&ver to be al
lowed to bo read, and some provision
ought to be made against them.
And now Caroline M. Burnham wants
to be admitted to the District of Co
lumbia Bar as a practicing lawyeress.
There is already one female lawyer at
that bar, so Miss Burnham’s chance is
good. As she does not spell her name
“ Carrie,” or “ Callie,” or “ Cattie,” we
feel like giving her an indorsement for
good sense. But just wait till those
two women get on opposite sides of a
case.— Troy Times.

joyed for a number of years the use

use and benefit was granted to said
Georgia Railroad and Banking Com
pany by tho City Council of Augusta
duriug its pleasure ; and
Whereas, the said Georgia Railroad
and Banking Company refuse to pay
anything on their real estate; be it
further
Resolved, That if the said Georgia
Railroad and Banking Company longer
refuse to pay to the City Council of
Augusta such reasonable taxes as are
assessed on and paid by all other rail

Georgia Railroad and Banking Com
pany be required to pay an annual
amount for the use of said street equal
to the pro rata rates charged other

to pay such amount, that said road be
required to open Watkins street within
such time as to the City Council may
seem reasonable and just, and that the
Mayor be, and he is hereby, authorized
and directed to enforce the above res
olutions.
Mr. Sibley moved that the commu
nication of the Assessors, and the res
olutions of Mr. Meyer be referred to the
Railroad Committee to report back.
Adopted.
Mr. Bennett said he was requested
to offer the following resolution by an
absent member:
Resolved, That his Honor the Mayor
be authorized and requested to have
anew and revised map of the city
made by a competent engineer, on
such terms as he may consider best for
the city.
Mr. Barrett said there was no present
necessity for anew map, and the
finances of the city were not in a con
dition to afford it. He did not want a
large floating debt. The receipts from
taxes were reduced and the returns of
sales of merchandize not so large ao
last year—instead of increasing ex
penses they should reduce them.
Mi. Evans said Augusta was not like
Hamburg, it was not finished. The
city had new territory, which was being
laid off, and like Mr. Barrett,he did not
think anew map at present necessary.
He moved to refer to the Finance Com
mittee.
Mr. Bennett thought it very neces
sary to have anew map.
Dr. Ford moved as a substitute that
the resolution be referred to the Finance
Committee with power to act. The
substitute was adopted.
Dr. Ford offered the following, pre
facing it by saying that a Good Tem
plar had spoken to him on the subject.
The privilege asked for was for the
benefit of young people, children. The
organization would be under the man
agement of adults:
Resolved, That the Good Templars
be permitted to occupy the Houghton
Institute one night in every week, pro
vided with the concurrence of the Su
perintendent, and provided further,
that there is nothing in the will of Mr.
Houghton prohibitory—subject to the
pleasure of Council.
The Mayor thought it would set a
bad precedent to grant this privilege.
The resolution was adopted.
On motion, Council adjourned.

which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contiin; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by aU who have used it. We refer
