Quartermaster General Batchelder in
his annual report recommends bridge
from Washington to Arlington. He
says:
Very large sums have been appro-
priated by Congress fer the construc-
ton of roads to cemeteries, more or
less unimportant, in various parts OF
the country, but like generous care
has net been b owed upon Arlington,
the most important of all.
''The Arlington Heights grounds COW
er ], 100 acres. with a frontage OF about
one mile on the Potomac. They con-
stitute one of the grandest and most
beautiful parks in the country, the ma
tional cemetery occupying about one
fifth of the inclosure.
"In addition to its historical associa-
tions the park abounds in rare natural
beauty and has been most carefully
kept up and improved. Few cities
have so fine park contiguous to their
borders. Arlington cemetery, where so
many heroes lie buried, has, in a large
measure, become, like Great Britain's
Westminster Abbey, the nations Wal
halla.'
"Consccrated as it is to cur illustri-
Gus dead, with its stately and express
sive monuments commemorative of the
deeds of patriots, its hallowed associa-
tions and its lessons appeal strongly to
all visitors to the nations capital.
''But the journey thirbcr, by Il roundai ont
way over roads controlled by local authori-
ties. which are rough ut al times and some
times well nigh impossible, is cn'y eiious
aud uncomfortable but involves an exlendi-
ture OF time and money which deterS great
numb rs from undertaking it
4 bridge over the Potomac at or about the
terminus of New York avenue, near ObseIva-
tory Hill, would furnish short and direct
route to the park aud cemetery and would in
fact bring them to our very doors. But the
plrk and cemetery are not alone 10 be con-
Sdered As a means of rapid and direct com
munication between the capital and the i'm
portant military post Of Fort Myer, which ad-
Joins the park on the north the value, in 4
military sense Of bridge at this point cannot
| bs ovcrrstimated.
Such bridge would also practically join
this grand park 10 the large area of reclaimed
lands on the river, all of which is to form one
grand park
up ans for such a bridge have been prepared
by the edgineer department, and its conStrnc-
ton is urged rs necessity. It's respectfully
recommended that Congress be requested 10
make an appropriation therefor"

Riot i'm Jerusalem,

During the religious festival in the
Church of the Nativity at Bethlehem on
Friday evening a trivial dispute arose,
which engendered q riot. A monk was
shot and killed by some one armed
with a revolver and two other persons
were wounded The dead monk and
both wounded men were Italians. The
Italian Consul there has appealed to
the Turkish government to punish the
murder, who, however, made his eS-
cape during the excitement attending
the shooting
The Church of the Nativity, in which
the shooting occurred, is in the Con
vent ofthe Nativity, which is said to en-
close the manger in which the Saviour
was born. The convent is large
square building more resembling for
tress than convent. The Church OF
the Nativity is sub-divided among Lat
ins, Greeks and ArmenianS, each having
a separate portion Of the editice for de-
votional purposes.
The church is built in the form of a
cross; the nave, which is by far the fin
est part of the building, belongs to the
Armenians and is supported by IS
beautiful Corinthian columns of solid
granite, e .ch between two or three feet
in thickness and about II feet in
height. The other portions of the
church forming the arms of the cross
are walled up. AT the further end OF
that section which forms the head OF
the cross and on the threshold is a
sculptured marble star, which the
Bethlehemites say covers the central
point of the earth. Here long, in
tricate passage Gescends to the crypt
below, where the Blessed Virgin is said
to have been delivered. The walls of
the chamber are hung with draperies
of the gayest. .colois and silver star,
with the words 'Hic de Virgine Maria
Jesus Chris,us natus EST marks the
/ spot Ct nativity. The manager stands
in q low recess in the rock, few fee,
from the star.

bailey, Ga, March During the
heavy wind which prevailed here Friday
night and Saturday Ten-mile church, five
miles from here, was blown down. The
house was large frame building and COM
paratively new. This is one Of the Oldest
and largest churches in membership OF the
Baptist churches In this section Of country,
outside of the towns. The next session Of
the Piedmont Association has been arranged
to convene there.
The dedicatory services Of the new Bap-
tist church are to he held here next Sunday.
Rev. E. z. F. Golden of Brunswick will be
present and assist Pastor A. K Richardson
in the service.
The Methodist church is nearly completed.
Then Baxley can boast OF two of the neetest
and most comfortable churches on the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad between Macon aud Brunswick.
The very favorable prospect for an abun-
dant crop of fruit has been consl Ter ably
blighted by the recent freeze. The present
indications are, however, that there will be
a sufficient supply Of pears and peaches for
the local demand. While the quantity OF
fruit will not be so abundant the quality, it
is thought, will be better. Farmers IN this
section are buying more Ruano and pre-
pairing to plant more sea island cotton this
season than ever before, which means ruin
Gus prices for the staple next fall.
ADping superior court will convene here
next Monday.

give a fine Yield when the cold weather
came. The price Of bacon is so high that
farmers can i'll afford to raise sea island
cotton at the present outlook for prices The

cotton than sea island. and who intended to
plant most of their land in cotton, have, in
most cases, cut the acreage TO one,balf Of
what they first intended to plant. They
will give their attention to potatoes, peas.
etc, to meet the loss OF the fruit crop, and
try and live at home.
