Sunday evening, as n colored woman named Adalinc Cut?,9 was returning from church, she began shouting in lront of the artesian well, and when in front of Bolton Bros.’ storo fell on the sidewalk in a fit, her bead striking against a door step, rendering her uncon scious for a time. A large crowd was attracted, and finally Police man Wheeler came up, felt of her pulse, roused her up and asked what was the matter. She made some reply that showed she was inspired by religious enthusiasm, began shouting again and started for home.

They are working hard to build up their company, procure new uniforms for new members, anil keep a respectable balance in the treasury.

Fair. Editor Recorder:—Allow me .pace, please, in your justly popu lar daily, to inform your; many readers of tbe progress that tbe Fair Committee bare made during tbe pastGveek, and also to inform them that tbe manner and means adopted by tbe committee for con ducting tbeir Fair is a decided improvement upon tbe old style. Many innovations will be intro duced, and tbe committee are working bard to make tbe week ! one, not only of proQt to tbe com pany, but of pleasure and amuse ment to its patrons. Tbe date for bolding tbe Fair bos been changed from tbe 28th to tbe 20tb of Octo ber on account of tbe original date conflicting with that of tbo Macon Fair. Prof. Pancllo’s band, composed of four pieces, lias been engaged for tbe week. Many ol our people, especially tbe young ladies and gentlemen, recollect with pleasure the elegant music tbe professor on other occasions bas furnished us with, and are satisfied that the com- mittce could have made no selec tion of music that would have given as much general satisfaction, Tbe Fair will be open every evening from six until twelve p. m. and from eleven to twelve each night dancing will bo indulged ill. On the opening night the commit tee of ladies who have been working so industriously to raise money enough with which to pur chase a flog lor tlie company, I am pleased to say, have been success- fill, and will present to tbe compa ny on that night the handsomest flag that ever fluttered in tbe breeze over tbe beads of proud and brave soldiers in tbe streets of our beautiful and prosperous city. Iam informed by one of the committee that the encouragement met with from our merchants has been most satisfactory, and that through them a large number of donations bnvc nriived, of which I attach a very incomplete list be low, as I do not know the names of those through whom, nor from who m, they came, but will furnish you with a complete one in a few days.

Day of Atonement. Monday was the Jewish holiday known aetheDay of Atonement, whieh ie religiously observed by tbe Hebrew* everywhere. This ie one of the most solemn of all tbe days kept sacred by the Jews, it it the tenth day of the seventh month, closing tbe ten penitential days. It is ordained in the law as written in Leviticns, sixteenth chapter from the 29th to the 31st verses; in the twenty-third chapter of the same book, and in the twe». ty-fourth chapter of Numbers. Tbe form of worship on this day in the time of Moses was an annual repe tition of the service of the dedica tion of tbe “sanctum sanctorum” by Aaron, tbe first high priest in Israel. After the destruction ot the altar the form of worship was preserved without sacrifices, to which was added the reminiscences from tbe temple and the narrative of the sacrifices thereof. Later when the poets began to enrich tbe literature of the synagogue various scieotionB from sacred po ems were added to the form of worship. The forms of worship now used in modern temples, of whieh tbe Hamburg ritual is tbe oldest, date from and after 1855. No day exercised such universal influence on the house of Israel as this and it has lost nothing of its sanctity by the progress and changes of the ages. It is regard ed to-day with the same reverence and awe as in tbo days of yore. As the day approaches pious Jews seek to do benevolent acts in order to send pleading angels before them to the throne of glory. The day calls them out of the narrow sphere of selfishness to tho broad plain of humanitarian principle. Banana* at Jordan A Stalling*. Attention Republicans!
