ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Mr. Robinson of Macon was in
U ie city last Thursday to consult
the mayor and council as to the
advisability of putting in an
electric plant for Conyers. Elec¬
tric lights would light up the en¬
tire town,churches, public halls
and residences IT desired. It is
very apparent that more light is
needed, the lamps at present arc
insufficient for the work, We
understand tjiat Mr. Robinson is
willing to put in the machinery
without charge, the city to pay
so much per annum for the light¬
ing.

SUNDAY.
Last Sunday was a lovely clay,
barring the wind in the after¬
noon .which made outdoor walks
very disagreeable. There was
no preaching except at the Meth
odist and primitive Baptist
churches. Dr. Quillian preach¬
ed .an appropriate sermon for the
Easter occasion, and.atnight the
little folks gave recitations,songs
etc., commemorative of Easter,
giving its origin, and the object
of its observance now among
many of the Christian denomi¬
nations. The little folks took a
very good collection for missions
after the services were over.
There was a good congrega¬
tion out at the church of our
primitive brethren, and Elder
Alrnand gave them his usual in¬
teresting talk.

HOME AGAIN.
jn —
Dr. Qvigg returned from Pal¬
estine last Sunday. He brought
with him many curiosities of the
old country. We trust that t-lie
doctor will give Ihe citizens of
Conyers a lecture upon the coun¬
try', habits of people, etc. Such
a discourse would not only be
entertaining, but of much infor¬
mation. While on liis visit lie
saw the grave of Lazarus, the
foundation of Solomon’s temple,
Jacob’s well, the spot where
Christ was crucified, and many
other places of li storic interest
to Bible students. j
Among the curiosities from
Asia, I)r. Quigg brought home .j
present of two Turkish pipes to
One is small i

LECTURE
The lecture at Almand’s hall
on last Thursday night upon the
subject of the enfranchisement
of woman, was a good one—we subject
mean to say that the
matter was good,and Miss x ates
discussed the’‘goodness, wisdom
and power of woman” strongly.
She well said what everybody
believes, but we think that her
conclusions are not justified poitiaycd by
her arguments. She
