The Baptists of this city have rented Watts’Hall in which to hold services until their new church is built. The hall has been handsome ly finished, and will make a pleas ant and convenient chapel.

Don’t forget to remember that the first number of the Daily Recorder will be issued next Tuesday morning, and if you have not already subscribed you had better band in your name to-mor row, so that the carrier may not miss you. A correct opinion is expressed by the Eastman Times: “It is not a good idea for people who want their town to boom to sit arouad and wait for somebody to come and boom it. The citizens of a town must do their own booming, and if they arc not disposed to do that much for themselves, they are not likely to get muoh of a boom." The Americvs Recorder will begin soon tho publication of a daily. Mr, Glessner, its able edi tor, is one of the most succesful newspaper men iu Georgia. He intimates that bo will continue its publication if the business men will support it, but not otherwise. Mr. Glessner will not publish a daily at a daily loss. Tho average newspaper man hasn’t more than two fortunes to throw away in the publication of a paper in a non-ap- prcciativo city. Amerious should support Brother Glessner’s daily and doubtless will do it.—Kulaula Daily Times. Friday afternoon Col. B. B. Hln- ton, E. G. Simmons, Hon. W. D. Murray and others took tbe train from Amerious to Montezuma, to attend a meeting in advocacy of Mr. Murray’s claims for tbe sena- torship. The meeting was hold in Minor’s Hall, which was complete- ly filled, all enthusiastic lor Mur ray. The meeting was addressed by Col. Hinton, who held tho audi ence for over an hour in advooacy of Mr. Murray’s claims as the Democratic nominee for Senntor and a defence of Schley’s right under the rotation system to name the candidate. The Colonel's ar guments were received with cheers ol applause, from which it would seem that the Democrats of Monte zuma, at least, were determined to stand by her sister county iu the maintenance of her political rights. j At tbe conclusion of Col. Hinton’s speech Mr. Murray took the stand and defined his position in such a manner as seemed to relievo all doubts of tbe few who wore uncer tain how to cast their votes. Tho meeting was a success in every particular, and your reporter wus informed that at least three-fourths of the democrats of Macon county would vote for Murray, believing him to be entitled to tbe nomina tion.

Misses Leila Crisp, Kate Wheatley, Mattie Mosely and Bas- sie DeJaruoltc made our heart swell with pride as we noted the handsome quartette, the prettiest girls in the goodly number of twenty-live who camo to be placed under the care ot our kind passen ger agent, Mr. C. E. Sergeant. The majority of the school girl baud going to Sunntou were from Georgia. The parents of these young ladies may well be satisfied to place their loved ones under the guidance of this estimable gentleman. The handsome Pull man coach in which we came so comfortably from Atlanta to Dan ville was the scorte of quite a merry time, speeding along on tho Piedmont Air Line. It was more than amusing to sec several young commercial travellers cautiously slip into our coach and scat them selves to get glimpses of the pretty girls. No doubt they seemed beau tiful to these saucy drummers, who sat down on their satchels, having the girls to search for their hidden property. Pity they had to witness their discomfiture, though, at a distance, “like Ginn saw the moon.” The Htauntonitcs had their own fun, smiling, nod ding on pillows, eating candy and grapes. I am sure those young men suid “sour grapes,” but indeed they were most dclioious. Our fruit gave out about tbe time we were crossing the French Broad. We interested ourselves then in looking out tbe car windows at the change of scenery from tbe lowlands to the mountain ranges. King’s mountain seemed to jump suddenly to view, standing like a great rough auimal before us. Wo reached Danville at 12 o'cloek at night, where wc met Mr. Jas, Fricker boarding the train with Minnie, his daughter, to join tho girls for Staunton. I bade the party good bye hero, took the bus and was driven by moonlight to tho Arlington Hotel, over rock it seemed to mo rough enough to shake tho hair pins out of my head. Quito u grand nioo looking city, notwithstanding the rocks. I came early next day to Mar tinsville over a narrow guago road tbe wheels screaking up grade, mak ing mo think for a lime some terri ble bieakago was to happen, found large Helds of corn and to bacco in place of our cotton. It is very dry and hot here, cutting off the crops about half. Judgo Hair ston and lady met mo with a car riage and gave me an unusual geu uine old Virginia welcome. Many of our friends at home will remem ber the Hairston family, who refu- gcetl with us, and be glad to hear that they are all here, remembering most kindly their friends back in Americus. It struck mo as quite a rare coincident, after leaving J udgo Crisp, the youngest Judge in our own state, to And that I had como to tho homo of tbe youngest fudge in the Old Dominion. Stranger still, I found, iu talking with him and his good wife, their history in part liko that of our own judgo— opposition in their love affairs, etc. Politics aro quietly discussed in this mountainous region. Some sensation was oreatod hero a day or two since by somo one going to a drug store, getting some power fully offensive drug, scattering a big crowd ol people at a Ropubll- ii. s nrm Georgia cotton hales for that amount would make a much big ger show. To-morrow, a party of friends expect to go up on Chest nut Kuoh, where wc can have a grand view of the Blue Ridge, also the country round about. Hark I I bear tbe scronaders coming to discourse sweet music. This is the third time they have honored the Georgia girl this week. I must put out my light. L. E. L.
