The rumor that thc Headlight
had been sold is without any fouu
datiou whatever. It has never on
tertained such an idea and will eon
tinue lo be issued on the same firm
basis, without any change.
The daily olla porida served to
the readers ofthe Macon Evening
News is splendidly gotten up.
“Tattler” writes well and tersely,
bright and original, and always on
topics of interest. Tho News is one
of our ablest exchanges.
The Headlight was highly com
plimented last week by the Prince
0 f R a fl Roaders, Coi. Macbcn, who
says ho “just can’t do without it,
alK i whether in Now York or Geor
gia reads every word in ii.” Such
words infuse zeal and encourage us
muchly 7 ,
Tho storm of last Tuesday night
seems to have swept over the entire
state, causing much destruction to
property 7 and loss of life in some
place. Fortunately Clinton escaped,
without any damage, except a very
heavy rain, accompanied by muci)
thunder and lightning. Agaiu on
Monday at 9 30 a in. a very severe
wind and raiu storm attacked the
old town.
The Madison Advertiser says;
“There is hardly 7 four miles of track
to bo put down between Monlicello
and Madison. The trcstling over
Little river is about completed, and
tho two forces laying track at each
onu are vicing with each other to
reach Indian creek first. The build
ing of tho bridge over this creek is
progressing finely, and we may ex
pect the engine from 3Iacon rolling
into our city in the course of a few
days.”
Oh! this changeable and chang
ing spring weather ! Our garden
wag growing nicely, iii-h potatoes
five inches high, but! alas! the
biteing winds and frost have killed
them, and worse, tho fruit is ail
killed we fear, all except the earlier
varieties of peaches (which bloom
latest) and apples, which havo not
bloomed. This is a calamity, for
who does not like fruit? First we
have hard rains, and then cold, and
more rain, and the poor farmers are
having “backsets” on all sides.

Macon, Ga. March 24th.—Dear
Headlight:—Thinking yon would
like to hear something from your
“city, cousin” I thought I would
give yon a few items.
Clinton and Macon have long
been so closely identified with each
other, (many of Macon’s most valua
bio citizens having come from there)
and now that they are bound w'th
“bars of iron,” they feel almost as if
they were one. Just think of it,
your Macon friends can take “their
knitting” aid go over and spend the
day with you, tmd you can return
the compliment by doing the same
with us. Let me assure you, you
will find the “latch-string” outside.
The city council has promised to
keep the dust down, so the last bar
rier to Macon’s prosperity will be
removed.
Therc has been quite a religious
influence pervading our city for sev
eral weeks. There has been special
services held for nearly three weeks
in the Baptist church, and Mulborry
street Methodist church with good
results. Dr. Warren has been assis
ted by Mr. Harris from Columbus,
Ga., and Dr. Kendall by llev Dr
Munhall, an evangelist, who is one
of tho most entertaining speakers 1
ever listened to. lie has none of
thc sensational about him, but is a
deeply spiritual man and impresses
everyone with his earnestness as a
Bib Ie reader and expounder. There
are several new features in this re
vival. Yesterday there was a prayer
service held at the Central 11. It.
shops, and much interest was mani
fested by the K It men.
Can’t you all come over to some
of these services. I enclose you a
card of invitation, which will admit
as many as will come. “Macon.”
For The Juvenile Readers.
BY JIRS. E. G. II.
A gentleman friend writes me
that ir. his family as soon as the
Headlight is received the children
want to read it bof’oro the “grown
up folks” have a chance to look at it.
This set mo to thinking, and I de
cide it is too bad that the dear little
readers havo never found anything
in our columns that would interest
them. Putting aside the letter, I
have picked up my’ pen now to toll
you how greatly you Georgia chil
dren have boon blest during the
past few months and weeks, for
here iu Georgia the fruit trees are in
full bloom, tho peach limbs have
their delicate rosy mantle thrown
over them, the plum hushes fire cov
ered with their wreathes of white
feathers, while tho beautiful pear
trees are lovely with tho masses of
star-eyed blossoms of white ming
ling with tiny green buds and leaves.
The birds seem to have breathed
the spring air and are beginning to
trill tbeir first songs, while even thc
little boys have slyly slipped off
shoes and stockings, and are look
ing up fish hooks and bait gourds,
ready’ to hie away to tho branches
to catch a “mess of minnows,” may
be they will bring homo a half dozen
horny heads as long as Papa’s little
finger and a bunch of wild violets,
with heart leaves woven in, hut oh!
they’ll have “hoodies" of fun!
This is Southern air and springtime
no v, hut in the cold North slates,
the people havo been shivering in
their houses, even while sitting by
blazing fires of coal, the fierce winds
have been blowing great rifts upon
rifts of snow over house tops, fields
roads and streets. It is said, that
tho snow storm of last week was by
far tho most severe ever known.
For days tho streets of New York
city were impassable, the thousands
of vehicles, which daily travel, were
not to bo scon. Tho steam and
street cars had lo stop running, the
cows were shut up in their stalls
waiting the milkman, who could not
deliver his accustomed allowance
tins , . useful article, . . flow r the poor
1
bundles suffered ., ! How many poor
little half clothed childicn, with
pinched checks and swollen eyelids,
„ 0 j, 0 their straw beds sun
periees, » ’ and shiver with scant cov
c rings . through , thc , long , cold .... nights,
Many of them, we can imagine,
dosed their eyes in cheerless, hre
lc .^ ,. 0 oms only to open them in
Heaven! ,, No night, no snow,
hunger there! Many lives of grown
people too were lost by accidents
on the ears, caused by deep rifts of
snow, and on tho Ocean, while the
winds blew so bard. A long funcr-
al procession of over thirty oarri
ages with hearse in front was liter
ally snowed up ! We thought the
cool keen winds last week were ter
rible didn’t wo little “Headlight
readers?” And we punched and
fed the good old Georgia hickory
wood fires and wished warm wcatlv
er, (suro enough warm weather)
would come, but, suppeso that snow
blizzard had just struck old Geor
gia. OL! you rosy cheeked rascals
cry out, “wish it had I wo would
have bad an awful jolly time a snow
balling and playing in it!” Well
we old folks wouldn’t havo enjoyed
the snow any more than our Yankee
friends-did.
1 wanted to tell you all about a
ridel had in the country the other
day about, tho linlo old fashioned
play house I saw in a fence corner,
with pieces of broken crockery for
dishes etc, etc, but I am at tho end
of the paper and snowed out!
Thank you little readers and may
you continue to bo tho first to open
our Headlight. Reading helps
moro than any other thing to make
people “healthy, wealthy and
wise.”
