A Big Methodist Revlval-The Hussars
Tournement.


A Big Methodist Revlval-The Hussars
tournament.
The citizens committee of Guyton, consist
ing of Col. R. J.. Davant, j. K. Garnett,
and Capt. A. a. Wiun and Lieuts. NJ. A.
Morgan and G. r. Berry, and Private a.
Griner of the bingham Hussars. met
Tuesday night at the residence of Col
Davant to discuss matters pertaining to the
proposed tournament to be held at Guyton
some time during the fall. The Effin CHAM
Hussars are endeavoring to raise a fund
with which TO purchase a new uni
form, and this committee is charged
with devising some plan by which
this can be accomplished. The most feast lie
plan proposed was to have a tournament
inviting teams from other organizations to
compete for prizes; also to have an old
time barbecue, charging a moderate sum
for dinner, and to wind up the days fes-
Invites by ball. In this way they hope,
by securing large crowd, to realize a con-
siderable sum. In view of the fact that
the Georgia Hussars of Savannah will hold
bazaar in November to raise an armory
fund 1T was thought best to post
pone action until after that time,
the committee thinking perhaps the affair
might in some way conflict with their plans.
| Col. Davant was appointed a commit ee If
one to confer with Capt. W. W. Gordon
with the view of bringing together teams
from all the companies composing the cav
airy regiment, putting the Guyton affair
on grand scale.
The revival in the Methodist church,
Rev. J. M. Lovett pastor, which began last
week, is being continued, and there is no
abatement of interest by the Guytonians.
Rev. j. B! Culpeper, assistant superintend-
emit of the OrphanssHome at Macon, Ga. ,
labOred with the pastor all last week, buG
was compelled by ill-health TO seek rest, and
left on Monday for Gainesville, since which
time Rev. j. r. McCleskey of Trinity
church, Savannah, has been aiding the
pastor. Many have joined the church, and
| from the interest manifested by others, it is
evident that the membership will be largely
| augmented before the close of the wees.
The pastor has worked increasingly, ana is
being generously rewarded by additions
TO the church.
Prof. job Lang, who assumed charge of
the Guyton district high school few days
ago, has made a most favorable impression.
He came an entire stranger to Guyton
people, but by his courteous bearing is
making many friends. The schools in Guy
ton have had many additio S since opening
day, and it is predicted that the scholastic
! year will be one of great success.

suggested that a mail box might be put on

on the arrival of the train the postmas, Q :
might detail one of the officials 10 take
charge Of it and distribute as any other
mails. Merchants along the line of the

their orders at night, and by Q o'clock the
next day merchants will have their orders
in hand, and be filed the same day AS it
| is now, they can only send mail matter
