Our Masonic Hall.
The Masonic hall of our town lias I
recently been replastered, (overhead)
repainted, carpeted and thoroughly
renovated throughout. The station
in the east has been enlarged, and
otherwise improved. The carpenter
work in the hall was done by Mr. W.
H. Johnson, and shows his skill in
that line. The painting is the artistic
work of Mr. J. W. Porter, and is a
neat job. J he carpeting on the floor
and stations is of Brusselles, while the
ante-room floor Is covered with a
handsome “inlaid” carpet. The hall is
now a beautiful one—the most ele¬
gantly arranged, perhaps, of any in
the State, outside of the larger cities.

vantages of protection to all our in¬
dustries—wool, lumber, turpentine,

upon it is a protective tariff versus free

A Glorious Revival
A series of religions services at the
Methodist church in our town were
brought to a close on Friday night
last, with most gratifying results,
there being an accession of 26 to the
Methodist Church membership, 3 to
the Presbyterian and 2 to the Baptist,
making a total of 31.
The services were conducted by our
pastor, llev.T.M. Christian, with two
sermons by Kev. E. M. Whiting and
one by Kev. II. C. Brewton, assisted
throughout by the sweet revival sing
cr of the west, Kev. M. J. Maxwell,
Never in the history of our town
has there been such religious interest
manifested, and our people of all re¬
ligious denominations arc overjoyed
because of such au outpouring of the
Spirit in answer to the earnest appeals
of our untiring pastor,
Amwkeas Appendix.

rived Tuesday morning and will at
once proceed to locate a railroad
through tlie new tract of land lately
purchased by tho Amoskeag Lumber
Co. Amoskeag is now a fixture, as
the tract of land will furnish work
for years to come—costing over $100,
000 .
The trial of the new steam fire en¬
gine came off Saturday. Mr. Allen,
a chief of the fire department of At
lanta, came down to show the boys
how to run it, and, notwithstanding
that the Silsby has been used before,
it proved perfectly satisfactory in
every respect, throwing an inch and
a quarter stream of water through
five hundred feet of hose to the height
of the highest buildings. Steam can
be made within ten minutes after the
alarm is given. The general mana¬
ger is highly pleased with it and will
at once organize a fire company, and
will have a practice of half a day in
each week until Ins meu are thorough¬
ly drilled in its management.
The rechristening of the Silsby,
which was to have been celebrated
Mouday, was obliged to be postponed
on acconnt of the indisposition of the
president and the inability of the
members of the firm to be present at
the festivities, but the general m&na
ger proposes celebrating it at au early
day* and will make a gala time of the
occasion.
I am sure Eastman will join us
when wc say, “three cheers for Amos
keag, aud three times three and a ti
gtr for the general manager.

The Pic Nic.
Last Friday, 6th inst., was the day
set apart by the Methodist and Bap¬
tist Sunday schools of Eastman for
their annual pie nic.
The day began and closed beauflful
ly. At o’clock the Methodist school
gathered at their church and marched
in procession towards Bishop’s grove,
The procession was large and well
arranged^-divlded into classes, bc
ginning with the wee little fellows
and then on up to the grown folks’
class. No school in Eastman
| iaH grown so rapidly in the past six
u,oulh8 as ll»»« o»»e, having more than
doubled her numbers in that length
of time. This procession was led by
Messrs. A. Ilerrman and Willie Cole
man, who dispensed thrilling sounds
from the bass and snare drums.
On arriving at the Baptist church,
the Methodist school was there joined
by this school, which seemed to have
fully a3 many scholars, and the whole
procession then presented a grand
sight as it moved off toward the
pic nic grounds. On the grounds were
a number of seats furnished for the
occasion—sufficient to accommodate
every 011 c of the large company.
Just in front of the scats a stand
was provided for the speakers and the
music leaders. The first thing on the
programme was tiic sing!tig of the
long meter doxologv by both schools;
then an opening prayer by llev. T. M.
Christian. The Methodist school tlieu
su«g a song which certainly reflects
great credit upon the singing talent of
that school. The next song was sung
by the Baptist school, which was very
fine. Then came four addresses of
five minutes each, by the two pastors
an( j tlie two supcrintcndents-'*»Rev.
p A . Jossup; Kev . T M< cliristi!1I1 .
I)r . E . n . Bacon, Prof. It. J. Strozier.
The addresses, though short, were to
the point, and enjoyed by all.
After this, tlie children wore free for
an hour, and then came dinner—and
wnat a feast was spread! It was fine
indeed—all the hungry children and
grown people enjoying it immensely,
Ami thus the day passed away—not
a jar nor a discord anywhere—-every¬
body happy. All praise to God for
such enjoyable occasions.
Onr Old Jiel^hbors in I^miren*.
Editor Journal :
While out on the Oconee river some
time ago, we passed by the turpentine
farm of J. C. Powell & Co., where we
_ - _. ,
| found everything things progressing does that Mr. favorably, Powell
as
i puts his hand to. This business was
J j only started last winter, but they
have pushed things with such energy
! that it bids fair to outrival in extent,
at no distant date, their old farm
near Eastman.
Vfe were very much pleased while
there to meet some of our old neigh¬
bors.
Mr. J. A. Stephens we found in
charge of the woods, r.nd although
quite a voting man, no more compe¬
tent woods-i ider, or more clever fel¬
low can be found than he.
Mr. W. A. Williams ably presides
in the commissary, where lie sells
goods to the hands and die surround¬
ing inhabitants as cheap as they can
be bought anywhere.
We also found Mr. James Martin—
well and favorable known in East¬
man—doing business with this firm.
Wc were sorrv to find Mrs. Martin
indisposed, but trust she has recover¬
ed ere now.
Mr. T. J. Shiliglcr, a brother of our
Mr. J. S. Shinglcr, wc found in im¬
mediate supervision of the still. lie
is also part owner in the concern.
Mr. Shingler has not been long In tlie
piney woods of Georgia. Wc hope
lie will find his stay hcic enjoyable
and lucrative.
Mr. W. J. Harrell, (Coleman’s Bil¬
lie) has been interested in this firm,
but sold out some lime ago. It is ru¬
mored that When leaving Eastman he
left his heart behind him, and as he
and it could not exist so far apart, he
concluded to come back into closer
proximity with it.
In conclusion I may say that Mr.
Powell is making his presence felt in
the land by the interest he takes in
church and educational matters. Wc
noticed a very neat and commodious
school house which he has had erected
a short distance from the still. We
believe the school is in charge of Miss
Helen Bishop, a highly accomplished
young lady of your county.

Keeping HI* Own Counsel.
Strolling along Railroad avenue 011
Saturday last, taking In the situation
In general, the Journal nr an stepped
into the establishment ot our liier- j
chant prince, Mr. Henry Coleman, the j
genial proprietor of which we found !
up to ins elbows in work, opening up j
and shelving as large it not the
largest stock of dry goods, clothing,
shoes, saddles, groceries) etc., ever dis
played in our market) whvjg luscoun
t Chance, as usual, radiated smiles that
betokened contentment unmistakable.
Shaking his hand, with a “how d’ye
do, glad to see you back from the
Forest City,” we at once queried,
"Ifow about the Savannah & Western
Railroad.”
“Mr. Editor,” he replied, with a
somewhat look of compassion, “while
ft would afford md pleasure to enlight¬
en you ou this important matter, it
having been my misfortune to talk
too much I have determined to prod]
by the experience of tlie past and in
future keep inv own counsel. At a
public meeting held at tlie court
house tt committee was appointed, of
which I had the honor of being a
member, for the establishment ot' the
New Ebcnezer College, and it was too
much talk that located the college in
Cochran, and now, as a member of
the railroad committee, I must very
respectfully beg »o be excused from
blabbing. Sorry, very sorry, my dear
sir, but so it must be.”
With so much to smoke ill our pipe
as we meditated at leisure as to the
railroad outlook, we struck him on
business of strictly individual charac¬
ter, in which wc were more success¬
ful, as our columns will attest.
Adjourned Over.
On account of sickness of Judge
Kibbce the regular spring term of
Montgomery superior court, which
convened for a session of two weeks,
after holding one week only adjourn¬
ed over to the first Monday in June.
The necessity for a longer term than
usual was mainly the result of the
Mosel}’ sate robbery and the unfortu¬
nate tragedy by which Mr. Tlios. Mil¬
ler met his death at the hand of Mr.
I. J. Davis, with which particulars
our readers are familiar.
The murder trial, which was an¬
nounced as first in order for the sec¬
ond week, had congregated the* peo¬
ple not alone from the county but
from neighboring counties, and Mon¬
day found perhaps the largest asscin j
bly ever witnessed on Jit. Vernon
court grounds, so that the order ad¬
journing court and remanding the
prisoner to the Bibb county jail was
received with considerable disappoint¬
ment—especially so bv the farmer
class, who regret the necessity of
abandoning their farm labors 111 the
busy month of June.
Putting in an appearance on tlie
ground near noon 011 Monday, we
had scarcely time to exchange the
compliments of the season with our
many friends and patrons, when early
in the afternoon of the same day wc
accepted a kindly proffered scat in the
buggy with our good friend Judge
John Me liar, and left for home, en¬
joying the hospitalities of his model
country home for the niirht cn route.
Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who
has used Bosehee’s German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in c mug Consump¬
tion, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it
without immediate relief. Three dos¬
es will relieve any ease, and we con¬
commend sider il tlie it duty of all druggists dying io re¬
to the poor, con¬
sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
80,000 dozen bottles were sold last
year, and no one case where it failed
was reported. Such a medicine be as
the German Syrup cannot too Wide¬
ly known. Ask your druggist about
it. Sample bottles to try, sold at ten
cents. Regular size,75 cents. Sold by

few points from the “big mill” will
not prove of interest to your many
readers. Since your kind notice of
us in a recent issue, wc have made
great progress in all departments.—
We arc going to have not only a big

Editor Journal :
The naval stores firm of C’hencv,
Carter & Yarborough, is the biWst i^om*
young thing we have found
travels. Although only one vear old
it puts to the blush manv of the older
establishments. These gentlemen
have built up and improveftheir sur
roundings wonderfully for the short
time they have been at work* which
exemplifies what pluck and energy
will do.
The firm consists of Messrs. B. B
Cheney, J. J. Carter and K. A. Var
borough, Of Mr, Cheney there is no
in me saving anything, as the gal
lant Colonel is so well and favorably
known; suffice to say that Mr. Che
„ cy i 8 not able (o devote tnueh of his
time to this branch ot his business as
his other important interests consume
most of his attention. However tho
energy and business capabilities of
pi* colleagues are equal to the dc
mauds of the na val stores business as
their success proves,
Mr. Carter is a brother-in-law of
the Colonel, and is as good a business
man as you can hunt up anywhere
ir 0 was connected for a number of
years with the large naval stores firm
of B. Stansci 1 & Co.
Mr. K. A. Yarborough is an old nc
quaintance of a good many of your
readers, being connected for some
time with the turpentine interests of
Messrs. Dodge, Meigs & Co. lie is
a man of rare energy and experience,
and makes things move around him,
you bet.
Wc notice that this firm have their
spirit barrels made on their premises,
which is a good idea, as it keeps tho
money at home. Their example is
worthy of being followed, This
branch of their business is In tho
hands of Mr. R. II. Blackwell, who is
in charge of their extensive cooper
shops. Wc may say here that Mr.
Blackwell is just as clover a gentle¬
man as they make, and by tho bye, ho
is also an artist of no mean repute*
lie ha? erected a photograph gallery
to whicii he devotes .Saturdays,
In the capacity of stiller, we found
an old friend and countyman, Mr. W*
A. Brown. It would be hard to get a
more competent man to fill the place,
Mr. B. T. Heap, who is considered
pne ot the most reliable woods riders
in the State, looks after the bauds in
the woods,
Mr. J. A* Cheney, a gentlemanly
younger brother of the senior partner,
acts as book-keeper.
At some future period we intend to
visit again this concern and let you.
know more about them. Rover.
