The members of Evergreen church, (colored,) in the Third district, have just completed their new house of wor ship, and on Sunday next will have an all-day singing and basket dinner. A general invitation is extended to their lenmity of the occasion. Col. P.'S. Willcoxon has been invited to deliver the literary address at the approaching commencement of Senoia High School. He is a graceful and elo quent speaker, and we have no hesitan cy in assuring our friends down there that this feature of the week’s exer cises will come fully up to their expec tations. Mrs. J. T. Longino, whose illness was mentioned in our last issue, died at her home in Fairburn on Thursday night, 24th ult., ajid was buried the next afternoon. Deceased was the mother of Mrs. B. T.

Cole spent several days in Griffin this week inspecting the machin ery and building of the Griffin Cotton Mills, and obtained much information that will be useful in preparing the plans and specifications for our new cotton factory. He went by invitation of Major A. Randall, the efficient su perintendent of the Griffin Mills, who is conceded to be one of the most com petent authorities on cotton manufac turing in the State, if not in the South. The revival meeting at the Baptist church is increasing in interest and at tendance with each service, and a spirit of religious fervor is apparent that presages a general awakening. Rev. W. H. Cooper, of Cartersville, ar rived last Monday, and his earnest and impressive exhortations from day to day have had much to do with the suc cess of the meeting. Dr. Hall, the be loved pastor, is also working constant ly and untiringly, and his labors have been equally blessed. Two services are held each day, in the forenoon and at night. Col. J. Troup Taylor, a veteran jour nalist and former citizen of Newnan, is in the city looking up his old friends and making as many new ones as his limited stay will allow. Col. Taylor has been journalizing clerk of the State Senate for the past fifteen or twenty years, and occupied a similar position iu the House from 1853 to 18G0. Du ring the war he was assistant clerk of the Confederate Congress for one term. While a resident of Newnan he published a paper known as the People's Defender, which is yet remem bered by many of our citizens. The moonlight picnic at Pearl Spring Park on Friday evening last was a most delightful affair. The weather was all that could have been desired, and no detail was overlooked that could in any way contribute to the enjoyment of the occasion. Mechanics’- Brass Band accompanied the party, and such a luxurious blending of music and moonlight, of beauty and boating, is rarely enjoyed even at that pleasant resort, Mrs. AY. H. Gearreld and Mrs. J. S. Powell acted as chaperones, and to tlieir amiable and active efforts the success of the affair is largely due. Referring to the address delivered by Major AY. A. Turner upon the occasion of the annual Sunday-school celebra tion at Fairburn a few days since, the Campbell Count}/ Pews says: “At the urgent solicitation of friends, Maj. AY. A. Turner, of Newnan, whose pleasant and smiling countenance greeted the people, was prevailed upon to make what he termed a little talk, but which was a first-rate speech, though uttered extemporaneously. Mr. Turner spoke feelingly of his attachment for tiie peo ple of Campbell, having began public life as a citizen of the county, and dwelt upon the close relations of va rious interests between the counties of Campbell and Coweta. The Major's ‘talk’ was highly appreciated and en joyed by the assembly.” Setting- a Good Example for His Geor- g-ia Relative. Judge AA'm. A Yells, our clever fellow- townsman, has received the pleasing announcement of the marriage of his brother, Mr. J. H. AYells, of Portage, AYis., to Miss Ida Robbins, of Dorches ter. Wis., which took place at the home of the bride’s mother on Wednesday of last week. Commenting upon the happy event, the Portage (Wis.) State Register says: “The groom is well known here in Portage, where his home has been since childhood, and more than a train-load of congratulations went with him yes terday to Dorchester. Mr. AYells has served as city clerk and clerk of court, and is known as a young man of unim peachable integrity and honesty, which, coupled with his genial personality, renders him rightly a favorite with his acquaintances. He is at present secre tary and treasurer of the Register Printing Company. The bride’s home was also in Portage for many years and her large circle of friends will be happy to welcome her again in tlieir midst. She is in every way fitted to complete the happiness of the groom and orna ment a pleasant home.” The ceremony was performed by Rev. G. W. Wells, of Oshkosh, a broth er of the groom. Rev/jMr. AVells is presiding elder of the Oshkosh circuit, and one of the most prominent Metho dist divines of that State. A Delightful Entertainment. Quite a large company assembled at the residence of Dr. A. J. Lyndon on Friday evening last to enjoy a concert given by the members of Mrs. Grace’s music class, and a more delightful ama teur entertainment it has rarely been our privilege to attend. The pro gramme comprised a pleasing variety of music, both vocal and instrumental, and was a most interesting one in all respects. The young ladies rendered their parts most admirably, exhibiting a proficiency no less creditable to themselves than to the estimable and accomplished lady who has been di recting tlieir musical education for sev eral months past. Indeed, the differ ent. renditions were so excellent that to mention each performance would be mere repetition, and we will not at tempt it. Suffice it to say, the enter tainment was both a surprise and a pleasure to the friends of the young musicians, to whom all are indebted for the pleasant evening enjoyed.
