Some months ago wc stated that tho Oglcthorpo Bank had purchase^ tho lot on tho corner opposite tho Masonic building. To-day workmen arc busily engaged tearing down the old landmark, tho Ben Franklin store, that has stood there for many years. All tho old buildings on that lot will he torn down preparatory to tho erection of the new building- a descriptioi^of which • will .not be amiss. Tho building will be 30x!)0 feet, and of brick, three stories high. The fiVfnt will be of brick and stone. The bank will occupy the frofet end, 30x00, feet of the first floor. The remaining 30x30 will bo used for a store or olllce. The second Uoor will contain seven, and the third floor eight rooms, which will be used for olliccs of different kinds. The building, when complete, will cost between *20,000 aud $25,000, and be n thing of beauty. These figures do not include the furniture, which will be in keeping with the building. The floor of the bank will be of marble tiling. Both the side and front elevation will be extremely beautiful. Messrs. Fay <fc Eich- berg, of Savannah, are the architects. The contract for building has not yet beta given out. Built His Owu Vault. Mr. \V. W. Churchill, of McIntosh county, died a week ago last Friday, but was not buried until lust Sunday. He was quite old and feeble, and, realizing the fact that his sands of Jlfc were fast ebbing away, he de termined about ten days before his death, to build a vault for the re ccption of his body. The work had but cleverly begun, when the sum fmons came, and he quietly passed tioual congregation. Under the present system in our churches sacred music is a thing of tho past. There is littfo that is de votional in it now. Time was when the anthem suug as a voluntary in the church was religious music, such -as “The Earth is tho Lord’s,”. Jubilate Deo, aud such, breathing a spirit of praise and devotion, and compelling u realization that “the Lord is in his temple.” But how is it now ? Our thoughts are expect ed to riso heavenward on the waves of song to the tune of “Alice Where art Thou” “’Tis not True” and such like, often provoking aspiritofmirth unfitted, unsuited to the house of God, but. which human nature can not resist, and for which we (th congregation) aro not responsible. It would be to me a pleasure great indeed to find some church where Sunday after Sunday I could sit and listen to hymns of praise sung by a large congregation of people assem bled for diyinc service. Then it would be that wc could realize “that this people had assembled themselves together for the worship of God.” “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” Do not understaud me as being opposed to choirs—I am not; but I believe that choir should be used simply to lead the sitigiug, and for nothing more. To that end let them, or more properly the preacher, select tunes, which are familiar to the congrega tion, and siug them. Let it also hu known what part of the hymn will be sung (if not all) and thus avoid mistakes. Give us music by the congregation that will make us feel that we are in the house of God.

Tho Festive Burglar. As wc sat in tiie court house last Saturday afternoon and heard Judge Atkinson pronounce the terrible words that consigned those burglars —tiie one to 20 years, and the oth ers to 10 years servitude in the peni tentiary—a cold she i ier ran over our frame, and we thought to our self, “poor creatures ; maybe the Judge was too severe.” But we have changed our mind. With those sen- tonancc3 still ringing in their ears, and the recollection of the violent death of another burglar recent^? at the hands of the colored barber Coi\ oway, there were found men so reck less as to break into the store of John Haeniel, the gunsmith, this week, and steal therefrom two fine rifles and five pistols. • We say we have changed our minds. The sentence is not severe enough. A rope around the necks of ail such over an oak limb would be more ef fectual. If imprisonment, and bul lets don’t stop them, something else will be reserted to. People won’t stand these things always; there will have to be an end put 'to it sooner or later. One Sermon a Week.

As we enter the door we find an a raised platform to the right the At lantic Band, playing such music that even the obi married men that we not iced were constrained . to “keep time” with their feet aud hands when they thought that nobody was locking. Then just in front of the door, we notice the Fairy Land Booth, presided over by Mrs. Moyer, Chair- failure, when it | man, and Misses Ida Moore, Lucy Breedlove, Mary Penniman, May King, Daisy Tison, Ada Wright, Emma Littlefield, Fannie and Anna Belle Scarlett, aud filled with attrac tive articles for sale.

New York LumSor Trade Joarna!. New York, nnd. indeed, the South ern Pine trade at largo, witnesses sin important change in the establish ment of the large concern knowu :>s the Hilton & Dodge Lumber Co., of Darien, Gar This concern is a combination of the interests of Mr. Joseph Hiltun — long known us a manufacturer, on q very large scale, of Pitch pine lit Da rien—and those of Mr. Norman W. Dodge, for a long time associate own er, and more recently sole owner of •the large manufacturing establish ment on St. Simon’s Island. Mr. Mr. Dodge for many years n membey of tho firm of Dodge, Meigs <fe Co., of New York, and with them inter ested in the Southern mills, left the firm this aut’mn, taking witli him all the Southern interests: tiie other members of that firm retaining their northern business and largely add ing thereto by new investments in the AdiroDdacks. Mr. Norman W. Dodge had only been dissociated from his old linn a few weeks, when the present combination of the very extensive interests and his lias re sulted in the inauguration of the lar gest Southern Pine manufacturing concern that has ever existed. Mr. Hilton contributes six mills, situated at Doboy Island, Union Is land, Lower Bluff, all in the port of Darien, and his establishment ou the Satiila River. These mills together have a yearly capacity of between .sixty and and seventy million feet Mr. Dodge contributes the resources of St. Simon’s Island, port of Bruns wick, comprising three mills, viz., the old St. Simon’s mill, with a ca pacity of tinny million of feet, the Gascoigne mi,i with a capacity of ten million feet, besides a Cypress lhill of about eight miliion feet. The new concern thus expects to produce yearly an output of,, say one hundred million feet. They will probably load two hun dred .vessels a year. The loading facilities are such, that, at either the Darien-or St. Simon’s wharves ves sels drawing twenty feet of water can load alongside. The concerns thus consolidated have already a large European busi ness, as well as South American, in addition to the domestic shipments. The New York office of the compa ny Is at No. 81 New Street. Mr. Warren A, Fuller, well known to all • those, both nprth and Sou th, concern ed in tho Southern Pine trade, will act as general manager for the con cern at tho New York office. Something Unique.
