The Negro Exodus from Georgia,

Great excitement has prevailed in Georgia
recently because of the wholesale exodus of
negroes. Hundreds have already left their
work in the fields to go to Arkansas, lured by
the extravagant promises made by railroad
emigration agents. Every effort to make them
change their minds failed and now many plan
tations are without single laborer and PLAN
tiers can do nothing. This is said to be but the

THE PRISONERS REMEMBERED.

Whatever there was of Christmas in the din
ners at the District Jail yesterday came from
relatives and friends of prisoners. Corned
beef, turnips and corn bread was the regular
bill of fare moistened by quart of coffee, but
there were only a few of the imprisoned ones
who did not taste Christmas dainties of some
sort or other. The Santa Claus of the prison
was Frank X. Ward. Moro than a hundred OF
his friends went down to see him and nearly
every one of them took with him a dinner or
a considerable portion Of one. Of course Mr..
Ward could eat but small portion ofwhat was
sent him; the remainder he distributed to those
who had no friends.
The two condemned murderers. Benjamin
Hawkins and Lewis Johnson, seemed to enjoy
their last Christmas very considerably. Fee
male acquaintance supplied them with season.
able luxuries.
Members of the Woman's Christian temper
ance union held religious services on the male
side of the prison, and the ST. Vincent dc Paul
Sisters attended to the spiritual wants Of the
females who are incarcerated at the Jail.

AT THE cHILDREN's HOSPITAL.

There were great many believers in Santa
Claus at the Children's hospital yesterday.
Each of the little ones in that interesting estab-
lishment found filed stocking at his or her
bedside and great rejoicing followed. Before
the good things in the stockings had been en-
tirely disposed of the children were treated to
another and greater surprise. In the visitors
reception room a huge Christmas tree had been
loaded down with beautiful and useful gifts
and these were distributed to the youngsters
in the afternoon. The latter surprise was the
affectionate work of Mrs. Mcclure and Miss
Schenck of the visiting committee. The after
noon was spent principally in the play room
and a very joyous occasion it was.

these there were 325. and each one was given
fruit, crackers and sugar. tied up in one pack
age. The fastening of white ribbon, and a
scripture text was attached to each. The sick
folks in the hospital were remembered with
flowers and jelly, and the children were made
happy with candy, cake and illustrated books.
Religious services were held in each ward.

IN THE CHURCHES.

During the morning the services held at the
various churches were well attended, and the
elaborate musical programs which were pre-
scented, especially in the Catholic and Episcopal
churches, were enjoyed by large congregations.
The joyful theme of the sermons OF the day
made a fitting introduction to the festivities
which were SO general in home circles.

SANTA CLAUS.

Perhaps the earliest observances of the day
Except the high mass at 5 o'clock am. in Catho-
lie churches,) were participated in by the juvo-
nile portion of the community, who, as a rule,
awakened from their sleep some time before
daylight and entered into the delightful investi-
CATION of the heavily laden stockings which
decorated the fire places in so many
homes. How Santa Claus managed his
sled and team of RENDERS over the
snowless ground was probably not fully ex-
planned, but in the presence Of the generous
gifts of the patron saint the natural scepticism
of childhood was for the time at least silenced.
