(23.—This has been, pre-eminently, a "working legislature.” It Is further a notable fact that not a single "set speeoh” has been made this sesalon. in either the Home or the Senate. The lawyers and the yonng and old men elo quent have been relegated to the rear. Quiet, honest, hard work has been the order of the day. The flgnres are really surprising. Three hundred and twenty-three (823) bills and resolutions were sed, and have been signed by the Governor, or are now on hts desk awaiting that official act. The only legislature that ever ac complished anything like this amount of work waa the last one. They passed 166 bills and 16 resolu tions at the winter session, or only a little more than half the num ber passed this yesr. REGRET HIS GOING. Tbs People of Atnerlous Lot# Dr. J. P.

Johnstone, who will now take the first chnrch here, comes from BarnesvUle, going to that place from Dalton. He la a young man, not over thirty, but has made great reputation aa a preacher and pastor.
