We regret we were “just totally”
unable to get out the issue of tho
Headlight of March 3rd, on sched
ule time. It is impossible to “make
brick without straw” and the paper
to print the eagerly looked for
Headlight didn’t reach us in time
to do better. Wo suppose the recent
severe weather has delayed the
manufactories at the North from
whom our paper is procured.

the side of the bed. Now imagine
lus astonishment when it gave way
and he found himself in a double
among the feather bed and pillows.
W hen he scrambled to his feet all

AROUND AND ABOUT.
March “eamo in like a lamb” lit
erally this year.
We never saw a prettier morning
than dawned last Thursday. Quite
a crowd of Clintonites boarded the
C. & M. passenger at the bustling
little village of Grays that morning
for a day in the Central City-, among
the respectable representatives of
the town was “Ye Editress.” The
ride through fields, woodlands and
meadows was delightful, with the
chirpings ot blue birds and tho
twittering of sparrows as they flew
from the boughs and fringing wil
lows to budding oaks. The heavy
rains of the week before had ren
dered it hazardous to cross on the
C. and M. bridge at the river, and
we ran in on the old reliable Central
track from McCalls to the city, and
curved around into our own little
depot about 10.15. How we Jasper
and Jones people wish the C. and
M. R. R. bad a handsomer Depot!!
But we suppose now, that the road
has emerged phoenix like from the
slough ol Despond, in which it was
forced to rest for a few months, it
will soon erect a handsome build
ing.
Macon seemed to have brightened
under the stimulus of spring weath
er and the dry good’s stores (they
are the ones we patronize you
know.) were gorgeous and dazzling
with their array of lovely dress
goods and spring novelties. We
never saw such beautiful shades of
coloring, and contrasts as is shown
in the materials and trimmings of
dress goods.
There seems to bo a “perfect
craze” on tho Photographic question
down there now, every one we met
had just bad o' was going to have,
a picture taken ; the galleries are
crowded all the time when the days
are bright, aud the artiste are giv
ing satisfactory “phiz’s" at very
moderate prices. Now seems to be
the time “to hand your features
down to posterity." Messrs. Hervy
and Sabers the popular Auctioneers
on Cotton Avenue received a con
signment on Friday from Berkman
of Augusta of flowers consisting of
double hyacinths of almost every
color and primroses, all in full
bloom—they were as lovely as a
Wesleyan girls sweetest dream and
much more satisfactory !
Dr. Kendall, Mulberry Church’s
new minister has introduced a so
cia! phase into his charge that is ere
ating quite a popular variation to
tho usual old fashion prayer meet
ings, these are tho Wednesday
night “hand shakings," they arc de
lightfully social and productive of
great good in bringing the mem
bers of the church into close Chris
tian acquaintance, and are not lim
ited to sect or membership. The
First Baptist Church had one on
Thursday night. The Missionary
Society of the First Presbyterian
church tendered an informal recep
tion to the membership of that de
nomination at the handsome homo
of Mrs. John Curd Friday night, re
freshments wore served and a free
will offering from the attendants
amounted to more than one hun
dred dollars. While on this topic
of Christian work and missions, we
would like to notice the wonderful
record of the oldest member of the
First Baptist church, Mrs. E. C.
Hardeman mother of Cols. Isaac and
Robert, Dr. Jack and Hardeman
and for the better part of her life a
resident of Jonos county. This
dear old lady has always been a de
votee to her church and its interests
and an enthusiast on the subject ot
missions. Sometime during last
year, becoming interested in the
Mexico School mission she organ
ized a juvenile society of the chil
dren of Vineville, whom by various
niles and ways she got in sympathy
with her scheme. Last Saturday
being her eighty fourth birthday
was also the Aniversary of the socie
ty, and was celebrated accordingly
by them, she announced them that
their earnings and offerings amount
e d to something over one hundred
for past year. Don’t yon
think “she hath done what she
could?” Dr. Warren, her pastor,
says she is truly the Dorcas of his
church and contributes more man
any female in it. and the boauty of
it she likes “to make the money”
herself!
We noticed while in Macon, at
the handsome an store U the Hob
Bro’salife size crayon drawing
the ignominonsly notable Tom
Woolfolk, by Rufus Evans, aged 17
years who has never taken a lesson
in drawing—tbo likeness is said by
those who have seen Woolfolk to bo
perfect. E. G. H.
