In many respects the greatest re ligious services in the history of the city are in progress this week at the Baptist church. This is tlie third and last week of the services. They have been held pre viously at the Methodist and Presby terian churches, and the interest has been of unusual intensity from the very first service. Rev. Frank Wright is a preacher of wonderful power. He presents tho gos pel in a most convincing manner, and quotes scripture with an ease that is sel dom witnessed. There is nothing sen sational in his manner, yet he has that power to Bold the attention of his hearers, and impress them witli his utterances. He presents tlie trntli sn a magnetic way, which has resulted in winning the attention and consideration of the people of this city. In spite of tho inclement weather the attendance lias been large, and the churches have been filled to overflowing. Sunday night the Baptist church was filled, and many were notable to securo entrance. Tlio singing of both Mr. vVright and Miss Harbison has been thoroughly enjoyed. Both of them possess voices of sweetness and clearness. On Sunday afternoon Mr. Wright preached to the colored people at the African Methodisi church, and later in the afternoon held services at tlie G. N. & I. College. On Monday morning ho visited the G. M. College, and talked to the stndants of that institution. Services this week at 4:00 and 7:00 o’clock p. m. at the Baptist cliurch. SEWERS TO DE LAID SODIH PART OF CITY City Council at Meeting Thursday Night Decided to Do This Important Work. The sewerage system will be ex tended through the southern section of the city. This was positively de cided upon at the meeting of the city council held Thursday night. Mayor Bell stated to tho members of tlie council that lie he had given the subject of laying sewers in the southern section of the city much thought, and had Prof. J 0. M, Cone to make a survey and estimate. He thought that this work should be done, as the people of that section were entitled to sewers, as much so as the people residing in other sections of the city. Tho taxation was just as heavy upon them as it was upon the property owners of other sections of city, where sewers had previously been laid. He suggested that the eouncil take the matter up for con sideration at once. Tlie members of council agreed with the mayor and decided that the work should be commenced and com pleted at as early la date as possible. Bids will lie received for the piping and it is expected that tlie work will b&jcommenced at once. The sewers will lie laid by the street force, under the supervision of Overseer Thomas and Prof. O. M. Cone, directed by Mayor Bell, Aldermen Bloodwortli, Schell, and Barrett, WEDNESDAY FROGRAM AY PAllCt THEATRE A Drama and a Comedy.

W, it's, Atlanta, Ga.—With the approach.of warm weather, Pure Food Inspector Methviu 1ms sent- warnings to all the feed dealers throughout the state and to the feed dealers who expect to ship Western corn into Georgia, that they must take care that no damp corn is of fered for sale in this state. It- has developed in other Southern states that a disease very similar to the pellagra of the human family has been caused among live stock which have beeu fed corn Jvvhich was too damp for consumption, Last year live sto n k owners anil cattle | dealers complained repeatedly to tlie! Department of Agriculture that thei stock were suffering from damp corn which had been shipped info tin? state from tlie West. As a result tills timely warning against such shipments has heeu sent out. Live stock owners and cattle dealers tlirougliouc tlie South are repeatedly turning from imported cereals and feed ing their live stock domestic cotton Beed meal, which is richer in food value and less expmsive and better than all is not dangerous to the animals fed. It is understood that the United States Department of Agriculture wil soon investigate the animal sickness oau^«l by being fed damaged corn with a view to getting up a cure for it. A New Railroad The Carey North and South rail road is headed towardsMilledgeville, this city having been named as the terminus. The charter has been amended so as to incsease the capital stock from to $500,000.00, and to ex- cad from Danville through Wilkinson county and through Bald win to Milledgeville, A survey of this road has already been made, and the prospects are promising that it will be built. The people ol Milledgeville and Baldwin County should meet the promoters of this road with enthusi asm and with tlie determination that it shall be built. This read will open new territory to this city, and, we believe, it will prove of great force in developing the section through which it passes It takes co-operation to build rail- uoacs. and our citizens should get behind ibis enterprise.
