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. 11 1 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. t t t 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 Judge Seamans with hopper shaped bowl, the stem of which is ornamented with variegated beads ; the oth¬ er is a glass decanter with ap¬ paratus on top for holding the fire and tobacco. The smoke is drawn through a five feet tube from tlic decanter filled with water. tt t 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.
