The cool weather we have just had comes from a cold wave tip north, where they have gone through a siege of snow and ice in many place. A Mr. Beauchamp, of Spaulding county, died at the home of Judge Johnson in the Sixth district last week, where lie was on a visit to his daughter. A cow belonging to Mr. Matt liar rison, on the place of Mr. A. Payne, died with hydrophobia one day last week, having been bitten by a dog some time previous.

Thurman, of Tussahaw, passed through the city Wednesday on his return from a tour to Bartlesville, Zebulon, Grifliu and other places,where he has been preaching. The Indies of the McDonough Bap tist church have performed a graceful act by donating the pulpit to New Sar dis church, which will be "presented at their next regular meeting. Col. Parry Lee, of the Pike County Journal, spent Thursday night with his father in-law, Mr. Wesley Harper. He was on his way to Atlanta to attend the Sunny South Banquet. By an oversight a small portion of the poem on our first page, by “E. C. 8.,” was left out last week, and is therefore reproduced in this issue as it should have originally appeared. A McDonough lady says she never ordered ice in her life but that the weather immediately proceeded to turn cold. She had just received a supply when the cool wave struck us Wed nesday. The Presbyterian meeting was com menced Tuesday night, according to announcement, and the interest is man ifested by a good attendance. Rev. Mr. Bachman will be in attendance from to day. Dr (’has. McDonald accompanied his mother to Atlifnta one day this week, where she consulted Dr. Cal houn for an eye affection. The trouble was pronounced not dangerous, and M rs. McDonald returned home much relieved. Henry county is not only out of debt, but has a surplus of 110,000 in the treasury. This speaks exceedingly well for the management of our pub lic affairs, and everything considered, is perhaps the best sftovfing that can be made by any other county in the state. Clover grows luxuriantly along the edges of some of the public streets of McDonough, and in a manner tba| would be a revelation to the farmers of some of the regular clover sections. Verily, ours is the best country on the globe, if all its advantages were oulv utilized. Col. Zachry brought up a nine-pound carp from his pkee last Saturday, which he hail caught in South river. Sheriff Glass obtained possession of the fine water monster, and he was as proud of i' as a small boy who had just robbed his first bird's nest of the season. Your Uncle Jim Alex, changed his fishing ground a little this week atrd took a run down to Flat Shoa's with Hen Neal. lie says it is the prettiest place and linest fishing location he ever saw —and it must he a mighty fine one, as the fisherman's veracity must not to be doubted, you know. We failed to mention the change of schedule on the Georgia Midland in our last issue. Luring the week the accommodation train now leaves here at 7 o'clock in the morning, instead of 7:30 as heretofore, thus making all de suable connections at Griffin. The Sunday train leaves at 5:40. We learn that Mr. J. G. I’hinixy, of High Falls, contemplates moving to McDonough next year. This announ cement will l>e received with pleasure by our people, not only at the prospect of receiving Mr Phinizy as a citizen, but the numerous friends of Mrs Phinizy will hail her return with spe cial delight. I’ucle i avid Lewis, living a few miles tast i the city, was made happy by the art >al of a pair of line twin hoys at l.s house this week. Mr. Lew is is about eighty years old, being married twice, and fias twenty-two children, the last four being two births of twins. Henry county is still ahead— thanks to uncle David. Dr. T. (), Powell, superintendent ol the State lunatic asylum, has written Ordinary Nelson of the death of Phebe Allen, who was carried from this coun ty to the asylum in April, 1889. She was buried in the asylum cemetery last week, and the purpose of the commu nication from Dr. Powell was to in form her relatives of the fact. In another column this week we publish the program for the Henry County Sunday School Association at Shiugleroof to-morow week. Governor Northen has promised to be down and speak, and Col. Tinker Nolan will de liver the welcome address. It will be a delightful occasion, and everybody who possibly can should attend. At a big fire in Chattanooga last week, the entire freight depot of the E. T. V. & G. road was destroyed, "entailing a loss of $50,000 on building and contents. About seventy-five freight cars were also destroyed, fifty of which were loaded with miscellaneous freight. It is said the loss on the cars does not fall short of $75,001, making a total loss to the company of about $125,000. The grand jury in their present ments did a commendable act in rec ommending that Charlie Sloan, color ed, be provided with provisions by the county until able to support himself, lie peculiarly afflicted, having recently lost one of his eyes by an accident, his wife.being confined in child-birth, one of his children down with a broken back and another with a broken leg— his entire family—all at the same time. Dry, dry, dry, is now the cry in this entire- section. But little rain favored this part of the country during the month of April. Complaint from the farmers on account of the continued dry weather is increasing, and much of the faun lands that were not stirred while moist has become too hard for the plow. Hence, some cotton plant ing lias been delayed ; neither can ef fective, profitable work in the corn be done. A latge flock of new birds, differing from any ever seen by our citizens, were encountered by a party of Mc- Donough hunters in the bottoms just beyond Mr, Frank Turner’s place one day this week, one of which was killed and brought to town by Alec Lemon. The new species resemble very much in color the common jay bird, are as large as ordinary cranes, and have a long, graceful top knot that curies hack over the head. They are lively flyers, hut they did not seem wild much until shot at several times. The question is, what are they, aud where did they come from ? Air. A. It. Johnson, our junior, left Monday for Social Circle to establish a new paper there, the first issue of which will appear on the loth of this month. He retains his interest in 1 tin Weekly, and though with the last issue his labors were transferred to the new field, his home attachments will not cease. Lon is a young man of more than ordinary talent, hand some, genial and magnetic, who has won the confidence and personal es teem of everybody in AlcDonough and his acquaintances, and many sincere wishes will follow him where ever he goes. His friends here predict for him a brilliant success. Miss Inez Speer, mention of wdiose serious misfortune was made in these columns last week, is still in a danger ous condition, though she at oue time returned to sufficient consciousness to teli how the accident happened. She says she was standing in the cut when the train passed. She became envel oped in a cloud of smoke and dust, and attempted to step hack on the track, not being able to see whether or not the entire train bad passed. As she stepped up she was struck by the mov ing train. Her recovery is still doubt ful. Since the above was received we learn the report that Miss Inez had returned to consciousness is a mistake, and her condition is yet unchanged. Where did the American get his mustache ? Did you ever think of it ? The question was propounded to us the other day by Mr. W. L. Kimbell, according to whose idea it sprung from the Mexican, war, and we were com pelled to give it up. He recollect* a good long way hack, and says to the best of his belief, he nt;ver having seen any before, the Rtyle was brought from the soldiers of Mexico at the close of that war, who wore nothing else. If any one else can advance a different theory, uncle Billy would be pleased to hear from them. Now is the time to subscr be THE AKSWEIt. | Bn.t nig 1:1 ns I siil a nil thought ofthe Jinsl The past with its sorrow and its pain, A cloud of despair was o’er me cast, As it ail came back again, O, tlodl can it be that in future rears 'Twill all be repeated o’er and o’er? Will life be as full of sadness and tears As it has in the days of yore? Will the ghosts of hopes that are dead Still haunt me as they do to-night? Will there be no rift in the clouds o'er head That will admit one ray ol light? Lo, a voice seemed to answer, “ 'Tin even so,” The soul must suffer the pain and the woe, Yet, above the cross a light is shining: And the portals of glory are opened yvide, And there is hope. O, Soul, cense thv re pining— Christ, for all, hath suffered and died. W. C. B. Locust Grove, April The New Church. The meeting held last Friday night in the interest of the new Methodist church was not as well attended as it should have been. A committee was appointed, however, to solicit further subscriptions and decide what course to pursue ir. the work. This commit tee is to meet at the first convenient time and organize for operation. It is useless to deny the fact that the prospect is somewhat discouraging for the building of this church just now; and, in connection Tub Weekly desires to offer just a word or two. We trust the frieuds of the movement (and they should ha every body) will not despair. Far more seemingly hopeless tasks have been accomplished from much less begin nings. Such matters, as a rule, are long and urgently all parties interested can he thoroughly aroused to action. Even in this in stance, already we hear of not an incon- siderable few who state that their first subscriptions were given with a view of being inert ased if necessary, and by going over the field in this way again, doubtless a much larger amount will be raised. Persevre, and if success is not ao complished right away, it will be soon er or later—only a question of time. The new church is needed—and needed bally. Determine to hare it amt-it will he done! The Keatliug; Club. The Night Star Literary Club held its regular meeting at the residence of Mr. J. A. Kouche lust Monday night and as usual the exercises were highly enjoyed by a large attendance. The club received another valuable acquisition in the membership of Miss Luis Bryan, who has just returned from school at Savannah, and whose accomplishments will add much to both the literary and social features of the meetings. Mr. J. Q. Nolan read another one of his unique criticisms, and altogethei the time passed off most pleasantly. The next meeting will be held at the residence of Mr. If. B. Carmichael, when the following program will be rendered : Quotations from Daniel Webster. Reading—Will Harper. Instrumental Solo Miss Claude Mc- Donald. Recitation—Ernest Smith. Vocal Solo —Mis. .1. Q. Nolan. Original Essay—Lem Carmichael. Instrumental Solo—Miss Lois Bry an. Reading—Miss Birdie Daniel. A Fine Sermon. Dr. Mallory preached an excellent sermon at the Baptist church labt Sun day on Sabbath breaking, taking for his text the commandment, ‘•Remember the Sfbbath day to keep it holy.” lie condemned in no uixjer tain terms the opening of postoffices, publishing Sunday newspapers in ex tra large editions, running trains, and other modern abuses, showing how in excusably wrong all such practices are. The speaker uttered much stern truth, which should have been heard by the many worldly-minded and careless vio lators of this sacred commandment. Dr. Mallory is an aide man, in whom the Baptist cl urch has a most earnest shepherd. In advance age the declining powers are wonderfully refreshed hy Hood’s Sarsaparilla. It really does "make the weak strong.” A CALL will convice you that the best and cheapest assortment of spring prints, white goods, lawns, ribbons, laces, handkerchiefs, fans, parasols, mits, gloves, etc., eto., are to be found with 11.

Mrs. Murphey is the late principal |of Cordele High School, and comes to | McDonough to spend the summer. She is connected with McDonough Insti tute, arranging the entertainments for commencement, and has located here for the summer with a view of making McDonough a permanent home, if she is successful in securing a remunera tive music class after school She has very battering testimonials, which she will he pleased to show ' those desiring it in the branches she teaches. The editor of this paper has long known Mrs. Murphey personally, and takes pleasure in saying she is an instructress of rare ability. Her in fluence elevates the standaid of music wherever she goes, and McDonough is exceedingly fortunate in having her not only in the school, hut in our so ciety. Below we reproduce an extract from the Cordelean, giving an account of an j entertainment in that city under the direction of Mrs. Murphey: It was a monumental success. That is the verdict of all, and it is rightly rendered. Ship's Opera House was crowded Friday evening last to witness the entertainment to he given by the pupils of the Cordele High School, under the direction of their teacher, Mrs. 0. V. Murphey. From the beginning to the close of the entertainment the exercises were deeply in teresting, and one could not fail to admire the fine discipline employed by Mrs. Murphey in thus bringing her pupils up to a high%taudard of perfection in the drills, marches, dumb-bells and Indian club rxer ciscs constituting the program of the occa sion. The calisthcnic (kill bv a class of lovely young misses, all uniformly attired, was in deed a beautiful picture, nud filled each spectator with admiration and delight. Their time in marching was perfect, as was every turn and gesture. The “baby drill” was perhaps the “happy hit” of the evening, and each member of the audience was delighted and surprised at the perfect manner in which they executed every maneuver of the drill. The tambourine dril', also by a class of young misses, was most admirably carried out, and their every movement was in per fect accord with the music of the piano, under the skillful manipulation of Mrs. Murphey, their teacher. The classes in Indian clubs and dumb bells were alike perfect in the minutest particular, and won the plaudits, praise and admiration of the entire audience. To close the exercise of the evening the laughable farce, “Poppleton’s Predicament,” was presented in an interesting and amus ing manner, each actor impersonating the character selected in most admirable style. The entertainment throughout was a grand success—each pupil portraying vividly the fruits of attending a school where bucli admirable methods and discipline arc em ployed as does Mrs. Murphey. She deserves, and receives, the unstinted praise and thanks of every patron of lire school for tho untiring attention and Care site had bestows upon her pupils, and in recognizing in Mrs. Murphey a teacher of exceptionable ability and refinement, each trustee and patron of the scool should see to it that she is fully compensated for her arduous labors in building up a fine school in Cordele.
