Granite Hall.
To the Editor of the Journal:

10 Hc EutLOf OF me journal:
| notice by your paper of this morning that
the managers of Granite Hall seriously con-
template changing it permanently from a
room for conventions, lectures and other en-
tertainments, TO a Skating Rink. The reason
offered for this movement is a lack of inter
est on the part of our people in popular en-
tertalnments. As citizen of Augusta,
regret the necessity of this announcement.
A room like Granite Hall in our city for con-
ventions, associations, lectures and other
similar public occasions, is much needed-in-
deed indispensable. There isno other room in
town sufficiently large to answer the occasio ion
al wants of our people on these occasions,
and if deprived of its use, the city will soon
feel compelled to furnish for itself-and at
large expense-just what all will acknowledge
we now have in Granite Hall. There is truth
in the declaration that our people lost inter-
est in first class, popular entertainments.
course of ten or dozen lectures and con-
certs BY the most distinguished speakers and
artists in the land during the winter should
annually receive the hearty appreciation of
our people. Why could not such course be
received the present season, filling the hall,
and perchance, securing a small surplus fund
to laid the poor in their poverty" Skating
Kinks, as a source of recreation. | suppose are
all very well in their place, but in sense, as
intellectual and moral promoters of the CON-
munity can they take the place of the lect-
ure-room; and, besides, the interest now
manifested in them will probably
speedily subside and they will be
known only among the ''things which
were" The Journal item of this morning
states that 1.-THE result of Denman Thomp-
sons house on Tuesday evening next at
Granite Hall, ''will decide the question OF
change in the Hall. 1t SO. trust "Denman'
will not be forgotten on the occasion men,
