Last Sunday tho Basket Factory finished moling its buildings across the Georgia Railroad. The building which was moved last Sunday was an extra large one to have to move es pecially in such a short time. They began moving the building about 12:150 and did not finish until eleven at night. The ropes used in moving tho house gave way several times and had to be repaired. The four o’clock train and the fabt train at night were delayed until eleven when they passed. No damage resulted except the delay of trains which did not amount to much. May we ask the question, why it is that Indies’ hats are not removed church? It is certainly a strain on poor unfortunate man who has to stretch his neck in order to see the preacher while tie is preaching ladies remove their hats in the opera house aud why can’t they do tho same in church. What is going on in the pulpit is certainly of more importance to us than a performance, silly and worldly that we see on the stage of an opera house. Why is it that a lady doesn’t have some feeling for a man who is in church when he is doing all in his power to see through their plumage, around it or over it. Wc hope by the time that Thomson has another protracted meeting that a streak of good aud tender fueling will so seize the ladies that they will have compassion on the men. To (Atlanta. cMay 8th.
