Military Day—10,000 people, What was that inflamation bureau for? YOU will find your weight at Cassi dy’s. Wasn’t that barbecue just too too. Steve Price and Marx Smith. The best barbecue team in the world. There was a gentleman Crine in the Chautauqua tent every day*. He has an impediment in his knees. We had to trip Editor Turner up ■ and jump on hint before we oould stop him long enough to tell him howdy. Since Bill Hilsman worked off that thermometer joke on Jim Kemp Capt. Hoobs has been almost dead with envy. Mr. J, S. Davis made one of the best rounded little speeches at Chautauqua Military Day we ever listened to. It was a perfeot little gem. Joe Davis will land in Congress some day if he isn’t careful. We got only one glimpse of Editor Molntosh. He was sitting on the stage admiring Gen. Longstreet and attend ing to some line cut he had in his mouth. And Pitt Kandall—did you notice what a time he had trying to keep from smiling? If he did’t put on brakes he'd smile by wholesale all the time. ' The singing at the Chautanqua was simply grand. Mrs. Anna Belle Cru- ger, Miss Hall, Mrs. J. M. Tift, Miss Cox, Mrs. Burks, Mrs. OBborn, and . several others unknown to us, captiva ted and eharmed the thousands of visi tors with their matchless rendition of various popular songs. The handsome little soldier who sent us a plate of barbecue Mili tary Day need make no extra preparations for the hereafter. “The prayers of the righteous availeth much.” John Houston, Geqrge Mock, Frank Sibley, Bob Oliver, John Drinkwater and yours truly were the members of the old Dougherty Hussars present Veterans’ Day. When the company left Albany early in '61 it numbered about 100 men. Nearly all of them are bivouaced on the other shore. A few more years and we’ll all be there. Never in the history of Albany did .. it look so lovely as duringChautauqua week. Beauty everywhere, animate and inanimate. Great waves of beau ty passed in and out of the tent three times a day to-mix and mingle with the matchless beauty of the floral kingdom. But in the midst of all this From Monday's Evknino Hkkai.ii. The dedication of the new Baptist church took place yesterday morning, the services beginning at II o’olook. The ohurch was filled at that hour, with ohalrs placed in the aisles and many standing in the rear of the building. Rev.E.B. Carroll was assisted’ by Bev. W. J. Bobertson in conduct ing the services, which were opened with an organ voluntary by Mrs. W. P. Burks, followed by nn anthem, “Crown Him,” sung by the olioir. Tlie congregation then joined in singing “Gloria," and it seemed as though everybody sang, so strong and full was the volume of song that, filled the church. “The history of the Baptist Ohuroh in Southwest Georgia nnd in Albany,” as complied by Mrs. Eugenie Gunn Davis, Miss Lula Hilsman, Messrs. W* L. Davis and C. D. Mallory, was read by Capt. John A. Davis. The first Baptist ehurcli of Albany wns organized in 1840, by Rev. Jon athan Davis, and wns composed of not more than ten members. At that time there wns no church building of any kind in Albany, and all denomi nations worshipped in what wns known ns the old Academy. The old ohurch building, recently torn down, was built in 1844, and upon that spot, from that, time until now, covering a period of 48 years, the Al bany Baptist ohurch tins had nn exist ence. The first pastor of the ohuroh was the Bev. Lott Warren, and during its existence, twenty-three able and Godly men have tilled the pulpit of the Bap tist church, twelve of whom are still living and proscouting their work in other Acids of usefulness. The his tory also mentioned the interesting fact that the old oaks whioh now adorn the sidewalks in front were planted by one of the first members of the church, contemporaneous with its erection. For the dedicatory sermon, Mr. Car- roll had selected tile text from Gone, sis 11-6, “And the Lord came down to see the oity and the tower which the ohildren of men builded.” Mr. Carroll introduced his sermon by a short sketch of the buildi ng of the Tower of Babel, and the subsequent confusion of the language of its build ers. He .then spoke in strong, de nouncing terms of the Babel builders of the world—those who, step by step nnd day by day, approach the comple tion of a work which shall bring con fusion upon the builder when God, as the examiner, is ready to aocept the work. A man’s oharaotcr is the tower whioh stands as a testimony of his life work. For any architectural effort, a man must build by a plan or model, and for the work of life, where can he find a model so perfect, so beautiful in every .act, thought or word, ns the life of Jesus Christ. Mr. Carroll forcibly illustrated Ills ideas, and olosely kept the thread of his sermon all through, and held the interest of his congregation unwaver, ing to the end. The most excellent effort was brought to a oloso by an earnest and eloquent exhortation to listeners to build their lives aright, to build carefully and with such surety that there shall be no fear of the day when the work is ready for the in spection of the Master Builder—the Supreme Being. During the singing of “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah,” by the choir, a collection for the new church wns taken. Then with much feeling and earnestness the congregation joined in singing the Doxology, after which they were dismissed by the benedic tion, and the dedication of the new Baptist church to the work of the Lord was completed. The music at the morning's service was especially good and much enjoyed by all. Those who had the prepara tion in charge are deserving of much credit. A significant fact was the announce ment of the meeting of the Ladles’ Aid Society, which society, Mr. Car- roll stated, was to be changed into an Organ Society. So the Baptists are not ready to rest on their laurels, but are looking for new fields of labor. It speaks well for the enthusiastic, de termined effort of the church that they at once turn their attention to further extending their church at tractions. The edifice which now stands as a testimony of their good works is as clean, as neat, as pretty a church of its size as can be found, but when their next effort is consummated in a new pipe organ, they may.de- sevedly feel that their work is meri torious. Success to their effort! ItlMIIOP (1. K. NELSON’S VISIT. Service* at Ohnreh. St. Pul't From Mondny’fl Evkninu Herald. * Bishop C. K. Nelson, of . the Diocese of Georgia, arrived yesterday after noon on the train frotn Amerious and held a confirmation service at the Episcopal Churoh in the evening. Mrs.- Charles Raivson, Mr. T. A. Swlnton and Mr. Conally Soroggins were confirmed. After the usual open ing servioe and the confirmation ser vice of the Episoopnl' faith,, Bishop Nelson addressed his congregation on “The Tilings pertaining to the King dom of God.” Ills sermon, or talk, rather, wns wholly without oratorioal effect, but forcible, showing the gentleman’s thorough understanding of the princi ples of the High Church faitli and of its present needs. He was eloquent from earnestness and deep conviction —nn eloquence that leaves a more last ing impression on the minds of henr- ers. He earnestly exhorted tile people to do their portion of the great work that needed to be done In the state, urging them to fix their minds on the fur-roaohing effects of n worthy effort, and on the brond field of labor before them, to the entire exolusion of petty personal feelings mid prejudices—nil great work must necessarily be broad minded. Said he, “The work to be done in the Diocese of Georgia is not God's work, is not my work, is not the people’s work. It is the work of God and you nnd me together. That God will do his work there is no doubt, but any wavering or negleot on the part of the Bishop or his people, is almost incalculable in Its ill effcots.” The members of the Episcopal Ohurch of Albany are ibuoh pleased with their Bishop, and thero seems to be a general impression that the work of the Diocese will receive new impe. tus under his management. The music at the evening meeting was thoroughly enjoyod and ndded much to the pleasure of the service. Bishop Nelson held a communion Bcrvioc tills morning at 7 o’olook and left later in the day for Borne, Ga.

JOLLY WAYS OF A "TACITURN’’,RAOE. On® Part > of Sonth American * Theater* Reserved Solely tor Womon. The great opera house, Teatro So lis, the pride of Montevideo,, is an enormous building, with a pillared portico in front and a pair of huge oval wings, the whole covering on entire square. One of the wings serves as a splendid wine and billiard saloon, the other contains the Na tional museum. On the second floor of the main building is a . foyer of truly "magnificent distances,” fur nished with tables and choirs for those who wish to smoke and drink. The oval shaped auditorium is very handsome,' capable of seating 4,000 people, with five tiers of boxes deco rated in red, white, green and gold. The fourth circle is the cozuela (gal- vkl for 1 •' ' lery), reserved for ladies alone, after the peculiar fashion of all Spanish- American countries, as well as old Spain. Not even on archbishop or a dictator could gain admission to the sacred precincts of the cozuela, and night after night it is filled with tho beauties of Montevideo, escorted thither by their husbands, fathers and brothers, who leave thorn at tho door and go away to spend the even ing ns they like elsewhere or take seats in tho gentlemen'^ 'gallery above, but being dead sure to return before the close of tho performance to see their ladies safely home. Though mon may not enter tho charmed circle, no jealous rules can be vigorous enough to control tho southern propensity to flirtation, which, like murder, "will out," tho more surely because of the mistaken notions of seclusion, handed down from their Moorish ancestors, that environ aristocratic females. It is said that most of the matches of Montevideo nromade, not in heaven, as the old saw goes, but in tills gallery, though the ladies have no chance to extend their flirtations be yond the point of meeting eyes and telegraphic communications with fans and flowers and handkerchiefs —a language natural to youth the world over, as birds know how to build their nests without instruction.
