day was large and orderly, probably reach

Sunday. The weather after Thursday |
morning was beautiful and pleasant, and
the religious services were interesting, and |

services Of Sunday morning consisted Of
sermons by Rev. A. Coke Smith, Of Green

the collection, but must commend this do
nation on the part Of the managers Of the
meeting, and hope their course may be fol-
lowed by other meetings and other denomi-
nations. In every respect the meeting at
Sandy Springs was quiet and pleasant
