Rev. Crumley, of Atlanta,

agreeable; the frequent hard
showers interfei ing with divine
worship. However, he preached
an excellent sermon at the Meth¬
odist church, and din very well,
we learn, by way of collections
and subscriptions for the ho.ro,
considering the small congrega¬
tion. He is engaged in a good
work, and should have the sup¬
port of Ins people.
[Since the above was written
we learn that the amount raised
was $00.]
Rev. B. I). Ragsdale gave a

Ijfist Tuesday and Wednesday
were beautiful days taken ad¬
vantage of by tlie more beauti¬
ful ladies of Conyers to feas:
their eyes upon the many hand¬
some goods on exhibition at J.
J. Langford’s store. A great
deal of taste and skill were dis¬
played in the artistic arrange¬

dows were decorated with a!)
sorts of pretty flowers, the show
cases with hats trimmed in the
latest styles. Across the room
was suspended an arch on which
was inscribed “ Weicomewi it
ten in beautiful variegated flow

umbrella shaped hanging most
beautifully decorated. All in al 1
tlie opening was a decided suc

clerks were happy, Mrs. Eakes
triumphant and the visitors de¬
lighted. but least, tlie
Last, not among
exquisite things tolook upon was
an embossed cake, done by the
hands of Mrs. Chick, who put it
on exhibition as a sample of her
work, and who wishes to in¬
struct a class in that line. The
work was the prettiest we ever
saw. It was artistically execu

of tlie rose, li ly, star jessamine,

bouquet.
