services Veld at l4e Baptist
Church last XVednesday night was
attentively listened to and enjoyed
by the large congregation who had
assembled in resposo to a religious
notice that appeared ip this paper
last Tuesday. It is well known that
this church has one ot the finest choirs
in the city, and this fact, togctlur
with the announcement that they
would devote the evening to sacred
songs, was the- cause of bringing out,
early in the evening, a large and
fashionable crowd. The servi
ces was opened by the readiug of a
chapter from tho Bible andparyer by
tlic uev. Mr. Campbell, and was fol
lowed by some choice sacred songs by
the choir which were beautifully and
grandly rendered. The solas by
Mis. Lamar Cobb, Mrs. J. XV
Brumby, and Miss Gussic King were
thrilling and wonderfully sweet. As
these sacred song concerts have been
set in motion by the Baptist Church
we hopo that other denominations
will wheel into line and give us just
such another evening as wc enjoyed

Our attention has been called to a
new article for the use of ladies, the
invention of which has conferred an
everlasting blessing upon every lady.
XVe refer to the $ueen City skirt
suspenders for supporting ladies’
skirts, the most desirable and bene
ficial article ever invented for the
relief of women, many of whom have
snifetfed years of miserable health
caused sblqjy by carrying the weight
of a number ot heavy skirts, com
pletely dragging them down. Some
thing to support ladies’ clothing is
absolutely necessary. These sus
penders arc recommended by our
leading physicians to all ladies and
young gii Is. Every lady should have
them. They are 6old only through
lady agents. A splendid opportunity

XVe clip the following from the
Macon Journal and Messenger: The
number of those who intend to go
to the great Paris Exposition is con
stantly increasing. Yesterday Col
onel John B. Gorman of the Talbot*
ton Register and Mr. E. P. Speer of
tho Old Capital at Milledgeville,
were in the city arranging for an ex
cursion party from Macon and neigh
boring places.
The transporation for the party will
be arranged by that genial and ac
commodating gentleman, Mr. T. H.
Henderson, who has a general Eu-
ropean steamship agency in Macon.
The party promises to be one of the
most pleasant that will leave the
State. Colonel Gorman has been to
Europe several times and is perfectly
familiar with the mode of travel in
the old country, while Mr. Speer will,
by his genial presence, add much to
the pleasure of the voyage.
Mr. Henderson has already arrang
ed transporation for a feegd number
from Macon and elaewhere.

A Great Illstorleal Work.
The Pictorial History of the World, embra

of ancient and modern times, and includir
History of the rise and fall of the Greek and
man Empires, the growth of the nations tf Modern
Europe, the hfiddle Ages, the Crusades, the Feu-
dul System, the Eeformation, the discovery and
and settlement of the Few World, etc., etc., by
James 1). McCabe. Published by The National
Publishing Co., Philadelphia, Pa, Chicago, Ill
St. Louis, Mo., and Dayton, Ohio.
It is a well known fact that the great mass of
tho people are compelled to rely, for their
knowledge of history, upon the outline works
intended for the use of schools, which by their
very nature are brief and only designed for the
comprehension of children. There has long
been felt a genuine want of a more elaborate
History of the World, covering the whole pe
riod from the creation to the present day, and
presenting in a succinct and entertaining from
tlic history of the various nations of the \Vorld.
This demand we lire happy to say is being met
in “ The Pictorial Histcry of the 'World,” a
work which is destined to take rank os a Stan
dard History. It is from the pen of James B
McCabe, a well-known historical writer, who
bus devoted years of study and research to the
>roduction ot this gnat work. The book is
iterally what it professes to be—a complete
History of tho World—for it gives a clear and
concise account of every nation tbat has ever
flourished upon the globe. The history of each
country is related separately, and in the clearest
and most comprehensive manner, and the deeds
of all the great actors in the events of ancient
and modern history are brought before the
reader in the most vivid style. Ancient history
ie related in full, and the account of the Middle
Ages, the Crusades, and the great nations of
modern times, are equally complete and inter
esting. There is not s dry pag m the book. It
is as fascinating as a romance, and at the same
time one of the most valuable works of reference
over published. We are constantly called upon
to discuss the great questions of history, and
the wars and quaiTcls of the nations of the
old World require ue to-be continually refresh
ing onr histoncal knowledge. So many discov
eries hire reoently been made, so many of the
eld ideas aud traditions have been exploded
end tihown to be mure myths and legends, that
the aubiect of histocy may be said to be almost
entirely new,' and he who was well informed
tiraety years ago will find himselt unable to
discourse intelligibly npon historical subjects
now unless he has kept up with the advance
historical research.
The mechanical execution of tho book folly
sustains the high reputation of the publisher.
It oontaina I860 large double-column pages,
and over 650 fine engravings, illustrating the
events recorded in the
engravings in this book are genuine works qf
