One of the most important meet
ings connected with the Georgia
Lumbermen's Association was held
in the oity of Maoon last. Tuesday^
Ueiulors of the G.izkttk will re
member that this meeting was to he
composed of and attended only by
the mem hers of tho looai oxeoutivc
committees from the several railroads
on whioh they are doing business.
These were nearly all there, together
with a number of other mill men
who are taking a lively iuterest in
the matter.
Tile meeting was held at tho Brown
flonso and was called to order at 10
o'olock a. in. by Capt- S. It. Weston,
temporary ohnirmnu. The prompt
ness with whioh tho meeting oamo
together amt settled down to busiuess
indicative that they arc engaged
})i a work of organization that means
much lor tho great lumber industry
of the-state,
As heretofore staled in the Ga-
zhtte the manufacturers of yellow
pine lumber in Georgia intend in fu
ture to sell their own produot with
out the interposition of middlemen
or lumber footers und, at the same
time, to regulate the supply to the
demand and avoiding, if possible,
glut in the market.
Tho members are all in harmony
with the projeot; The report of the
special committee charged with the
duty of formulating a plan of organ
izntion was rood and unanimously
adopted. This report will be printed
ami a copy sent to every mauufao-
hirer of yellow pine lumber in the
state for approval and beneficial sug
gestions before the final organization
takes place, llowover, it is uot ex
peeled any radical amendments, will
be suggested as it is conceded that
the plan submitted by the committee
fully covers the purges of the ex
change and will elevate the lumber
business from its present depressed
oomlitiou,
The election for temporary officers
for the exchange resulted in the se
lection of Capt. IT. IT. Tift, of Tif
ton, for president and Mr. M. W
I’atillo for secretary.
This selection of officers was not
unexpected. Capt, Tift 1ms been the
foremost agitator of the project; he
Iiub had large experience in the lum
ber business and the plan of orgaui
zation is largely the result of his ex
pericncc and superior business judg
ment. lie can he truly called the
father of the exchange. In his
hands the business of the exchange
will move smoothly and successfully.
These temporary officers will serve
until the cxohnnge is put into prac-
ation and a permanent -or-
; jpupZaUon cffcoted.
Preparations lind been making for
several weexs past for the proper ob
servance of Easter day at the Meth
odist chnroh last,Sunday. A most
excellent program hud been arranged
for the occasion, the parts assigned
and the work of learning them com
menced iu earnest under the leader
ship of Mr. Joel E. Dean, so that
when the day arrived every partici
pant was ready to perform their part
of the exeroises withont a jar of a
hitch.
The day was bright-and beautiful;
not a cloud cast a shadow upon tho
earth; the bracing spring atmosphere
was kdened with the perfume of
bursting buds and opening flowers;
the birds sung their sweetest lays; all
animate qnd inanimate nature seemed
.attuned to the importance of the oc-
onsion—the glad tidings of a risen
Savior. Then, why should not the
children sing? Why should not
every nation kindred and tongue sing
the gospql of salvation through the
resurreotion of Him “Who was
bruised for our offenses, Who was
slain for our iniquities?” It was, in
deed, a beautiful Easter morn!
The oxcroises commenced prompt
ly at 10 o’clock a. in., and was en
joyed by a largo and appreciative
congregation. However, there were
some present who were strangers to
Easter celebrations and. who hail no
idea of the significance of tho occa
sion. These were present more from
curiosity than otherwise; they lis
tened attentively to the entire exer
cise and wo have no doubt they were
edified and greatly benefited by tho
solemn but cheerful service.
At the conclusion of the program
Rev. P. II. Grumpier, the pastor of
the church arose and delivered a
most appropriate mid eloquent Easter
sermon, taking for his text the
propheoy of Malachi, fourth chapter
and Bccoud verse, “Buttiuto you that
fear my name shall the Son uf right
eousness arise with healing in hi*
wings; and ye shall go forth, and
grow up ns calves of the stall.” The
sermon was one of the most comfort
ing to tho Christian heart than any
to whioh wc have listened in a long
time.

loffctl Wfiitlrn County Counterfeit®***
In reporting the matter of the ar
rest of Crawford Bonncll upon the
charge of making and passing coun
terfeit money it will be remembered,
that the GaZCTTS took tho position
that the prisoner was not guilty of
the crime because he was not of
sound mind and discretion—conse
quently,not capable of committing a
crime.
After keeping him in jail a few
days and seeing unmistakeable signs
of returning liberation the officials
became uot only convinced of this
fact but alarmed at his condition,
and under advice of the attending
physician admitted him to bail on
his own recognizance. He was given
some money, put on the train and
sent home.
A private tetter to the editor from
.Tunics M. Bonncll, the prisonci'’*
brother, thau whom there is no lucre $5
upright or honorable young man in
Berrien county, gives those further
faots in regard to the arrest and the
evidence upon whioh it was predica- i|
ted. He says: “Crawford is now at
homo—out on his own bond. There
is no evidence against hint whatever ■;
but Wheelis’s statement, except that
the officers found in hi* house a few
ooiu price lists, a few dcllark of ppj|
confederate money, a handsaw file - J
and a poor apparatus for making
counterfeit momy, which they om- gplfj
tied to -Maoon as corroborative
proof."
It is now very much doubted
Gwwford Bonncll will ever
brought to trial mdei an tndio
for counterfeiting.
