J we?l a ori going on in New ‘lhnrWg 1 «’■ ternoon and evening the Monday night meeting there was a very large attendance, the greater portion being church members. The meetings are being held conjointly by Rev. Geo. W. Mathews,pastor of the church, and Rev. W. M. Hays, pastor of Wesley Monumental Church. We hear that two preachers from other stations are expected ere the closg of these meetings — Rev. Mr. Flankers and Rev. Mr. - Culpepper. Services this afternoon at 4 o’clock and this evening at a quarter to 8. We are Prepared. The spring season is now upon us, and we would say to the business man who wants to let the public know lie has a stock, that the columns of the Penny Local are open and ready for spring announcements. With a good circulation among the better class of the community, low rates of adver tising, and the favorable standing of the paper, advertisers who cater for local trade, cannot lind a better me dium through which to reach pur chases than the Penny Local. Call and give us an advertisement and try our columns this season. And now as the season is near for picnics, excursions, etc., we now hy) for ( juli_ wigdc, such as handbills, circular?? dodgers, invna-* tions, etc. We are prepared, and our office door swings open readily, Promptly Pilled. On Monday of last week, the 17th, we sent a money order of sls to the house of Messrs. J. W. Burke & Co., Macon, for copies of the new hymn book, “Prayer and Praise,” for New Houston Church and Sunday School, and asked that the books reach us by Thursday. Instead of coming ou Thursday, however, the expressman brought them up to us before noon on Wednesday. This being the case, we take pleasure in commending this old established and reliable publish ing house to the patronage of the pub lic. And we take special pleasure in recommending Pvaver and Praise as a book peculiarly and fitly adapted to Sunday Schools and prayer and praise meetings, etc. Crossings Needed. There is a rock walk on the north side of Waldburg street, crossing Jefferson, and now why don’t the au thorities do the right thing and put down crossings leading from corner to corner of those two streets. Then again further out on Jefferson street, a crossing is very badly needed, in deed necessity demands it,across New Houston street, east side of Jefferson, approaching New Houston Church. It is simply horrible, especially for ladies, at the intersection of Jefft rson and New Houston streets,during such miserable days as was last Sunday. Some fine residences are now filling up this neighborhood, occupied by numbers of our prominent business men, and we hope the authorities will see the necessity for these crossings as keenly as the citizens in the neigh borhood feel it. We experienced quite a little blow and a very heavy fall of rain, for a few minutes, just after two o’clock on Tuesday. It was a regular pitch pine light wood knot floater.

A Eict Experience. Rev. Geo. G. N. MacDonell, form erly pastor of Wesley Monumental Church, and now Presiding Elder of the Americas District, was present at the meeting in New Houston Church on Tuesday night last. Just before the meeting closed, Mr. MacDonell took occasion to make a few remarks upon the powerful and earnest ser mon delivered by Rev. W. M. Hays, concluding by telling the large con gregation wliat religion had done for him ; telling them that in Savannah lie had his natural birth ; here about thirty years ago he was converted and had his spiritual birth; it was here he joined the Annual Conference ; that lie ffhd served the churches here for twelve years, at different periods in his ministerial life ; that in looking over the congregation he recognized he find the '-Wraight and narrow way,”and start ed them on the road to heaven, and he thus felt that his ministry was not a barren and fruitless one. Here Rev. Mr. MacDonell sobbed with joy, his eyes glistening with tears of love for this people, and he invited his friends during the singing of “I am bound for the Promise Land,” to come up and shake hands with him,as an earn est of their endeavors to meet him “up yonder.” One by one went up, until almost the entire crowd had grasped his hand. It was a “season of refreshing from on high,” to those of us who “know in whom we be lieve.” Through the medium of the Penny Local two of the views of the New Houston Church decorations are to day in Washington, D. C., the ed itor h iving received an order from a lady friend there. —Live ()ak Intelligencer : She says she will send the much needed 60cts., but that she has a sewing machine. We think she had rather have an eating machine with a smoother pate, bro. Otto. We cherfully place the New South, Quitman, on our exchange list this week This is a paper recently itarted in Quitman, and it bids fair to be a decided success. v . In the last issue of the Brunswick Adv. & App., we see that our lady friend, Miss Joe It. Nathans, aided by several sea captains at that port, was instrumental in raising money suffi cient to purchase a handsome desk, stocked with writing material, as a present to Rev. J. W. Waddell, of the Presbyterian Church. A Pretty Little Mexican. While on a visit to New Houston Church parsonage, a few evenings ago, we enjoyed the privilege of see ing a pretty, bright, flaxen-hair three years old Mexican boy. It was little Willie MacDonell, the oldest child of Rev. Robert MacDonell, the mis sionary from the South Georgia An nual Conference to Mexico. Mrs. Robt. MacDonell, with her sweet little boy, is on a visit to our city, spending a few weeks with relatives. We hope her visit to our city will prove a pleasant and enjoyable one, and that her journey back to her companion and their field of labor, may be safe, and that she may reach there in good time. From the Waynesboro True Citizen we learn that at or near Mcßean sta tion, five little negro children were murdered at their home, supposed by their unnatural parents, whom it is thought committed the terrible deed to get rid of supporting them. It happened at Tavares, Fla. Boy blew in the muzzle of an empty(?) gun. Mouth full of shot that passed out the back of his neck. Funeral of boy next day.

Levy & I Bro.’s Speech on the NewHotel,after the Style of the Hon., Capt., Col., Esq. BY j. E. 8., JR. After much consideration,and some little contemplation, of a subject so gigantic as the one we hold in view, I am pleased to have the honor, from my worthy friend—the donor—to make mention of my sentiments and speak a word or t« o. My hopes are still unshaken on the course that we have taken, and I think the wisdom of our acts is very plainly shown. Os course I know there's rumors, (which are naught but people’s humors,) that our pro gress in the matter has most very slowly grown. But of course that makes no matter, we don’t list tc idle clatter, while we bring up our sub scribers to their very punctual pay ; we can always ljyigh at we have no empty coffers, aMranal ways while an evening in this very pleasant way. I was almost in a parox., till I found we had the Barracks, in a manner cheaply gotten from the great United States. What a splendid speculation, such is almost a temptation—if our project ends in nothing but a series of debates. But that’s quite another question that will need some deep di gestion—for the present—beg your pardon ; did I see your optic wink. I move we close the meeting to extend you all a greeting ; let’s retire from this confusion and indulge a passing drink.
