Weston and family, of Dawson, who also have a snmmar home at Gaines villa, were iu the city the first of the week looking for a new location where they eouid find a permanant abiding place summer and winter. Mrs. Weston was shown around by our clever real estate agent, Capt. Cun¬ ningham, and was very favorably impressed and it is hoped that she will locate. She could find no better point and no people more hospitable to welcome newcomers. The large store room of Mrs. M. K.

The Christian Church State convention met in Griffin on Tuesday evening according to appointment. After some beautiful music by their choir, assisted by same of the otherGriflln church choirs, the session opened with prayer by the presiding officer, Rev. Mr. Foster. The Rev. Mr. Lucas, who was to have preached the first or introductory sermon,haviua failed to airive, the presiding officer called on the ReT. J. A. Perdue, an old Griffin boy, to dis¬ charge that duty, which he did with much credit to himself and under the circum¬ stance. We will not attempt to give a synop si* of hia sermon, but will only mention one or two point*. One was that It was not de¬ creed that anyone should live hut was de¬ creed to all the human family ahonld die and after death the judgement. The other point was that no lady could be a leader of fashions and indalge in ail the gaieties of the day and atthesame time be a Christian. After the sermon, other announcement* were made for the morning by tho presiding officer, afier which the convention adjourned until morn big. WEOM80AV MORNING SESSION. After the morning songs and prayer, Elder Adams made au extended speech of welcome to the ministers and delegates, which was re sponded toby Elder Golightly.then Rev. Mr. Spencer preached an able sermon from ths text “Except the Lord bniid the house, they that build labor but in vain.” After prayer, adjourned until ii o’clock p. m AFTERNOON SESSION. The convention met at Jo’clook p. m. At. ter singing and prayer they proceeded to en¬ roll the names of the ehurclies and their del¬ egates. We are sorry to learn that a large number of the church*.* did nothave any rep rcsentatives here, but when we taka into con sideratiou that the convention cover* the State of Georgia, the great distance some would have to come, at this very busy season of tlieyenr, wearenot surprised that the del¬ egates from the extreme partsofthe State failed to come- The enrollment being over, the State Evan¬ gelist, J. A. Perdue, was called on for a speech on church extension. He substitut¬ ed a printed plan written by some one else* as the best plan for shurch extension. The plan was to organize an extension or loan fund, to loan to a weak church for a smnl] rate of interest toenablethcm to build house of worship. The convention thentook up mteoeUandous business.
