Athens Ledger: While excavations were
in progress IN Oconee cemetery Tuesday,
preliminary to putting sewers under ground
Commissioner Barnet's curiosity was awak-
ened by observing the sandy nature Of the
loan thrown out by the workmen. His
surprise was great when the fact dawned
upon him that he was working in the old
river bed. 1t shows that, hundreds of wears
ago, the Ocjnee river had a different
course entirely from the present one, and
that the Viclssitudes of ages probably pro-
duced this change. He was working some
$50 feet from the Oconee river and evil
1ence accumulate as tne work proceeded
and confirmed the belief that this was the
Oconee's old bed
An Atlanta special to the Columbus En-
quirer-Stn says: Last Wednesday even-
ing at the Presbyterian church on Georgia
avenue an entertainment was given for the
benefit of the church. One of the attrac-
tions was an orchestra m AIDE up of the best
local talent Ii was rather a swell affair
altogether, and the church was crowded
The orchestra had six numbers on the pro-
gramme. Everything passed Off quietly
and enjoyably until the number before tho
last Then, just as the orchestra was
the audience was claimed by a man
in the rear of the room, young
lawyer and a member Of the church we
are indebted to the young ladies and gentle
men that have assisted us In the entertain
ment.' said he, and to this audience for
their presence But must protest that the
orchestra, In the selection Of their pieces,
have not shown the proper respect for the
character OF the entertainment and for the
church in which 1t was given A scene of
confusion followed, and il was with some
difficulty that the bass fiddler was prevailed
upon not to punch the lawyers head then
and there. The matter was speedily
taken into consideration by the dea-
cons. Nobody but the young lawyer
had been at all offended, it
seems. The sympathies of the church mem.
bers are with tine orchestra, though some
thing of an issue has been sprung over the
presence OF q fiddle in the orchestra-a
fiddle in churchl The deacons, to satisfy
themselves as to the propriety or impro-
priety of the entertainment, have hit upon
novel plan, creditable at least to the
financial acumen of that body. They pro-
pose to repeat the concert, number for mum.
Der, the proceeds to go to the church fund.
The deacons will be present in person to see
and hear, and to adjudicate the issue. They
will decide, from the repetition, whether
the original entertainment was proper or
improper
