THE RIGHT HAND OF FELLOWSHIP.
Given to Rev. /. r. Lynn by the
Savannah Presbytery.


The Presbytery Of Savannah held spe-
cial session at the First Presbyterian
Church yesterday afternoon.
Rev. ]. Y. Fair. D. D., moderator, called
the presbytery TO order and constituted it
with prayer. The following members were
present.:
Ministers-Revs ]. Y. Fair, D. D.;
Charles c. Carson, Remington; A j.
Smith, w. A. Nisbet. J. W. Quarterman
and Licentiate L. r. Lynn. Ruling Elders
A. H. Clay. from Bryan Neck Church; w
P. Waite, from Dorchester Church; J. E.
Martin. from Pennington Church; H. f.
Train from First Church; H. A. Nc
Eachen from Valdosta Church.
A constitutional quorum being present,
the moderator declared the presbytery or
ganized and ready for the transaction of
business. The pastoral relation between
Rev. Charles c. Carson and the churches
of Pennington and Blackshear was dis
solved, in order that he might accept a
can to the church at Naldosta.
Rev. w. A. Nisbet was appointed to visit
the Pennington church and declare the
pulpit vacant. Rev. II. A. Brown was
appointed to perform similar duty for the
church at Blackshear. a committee con-
sisting of Rev DR.. Fair, Rev. r. A. Brown
and Elder II. A McEachen was appointed
to visit the Valdosta church Thursday eV-
ening, Jan. 3, and install Rev. Mr.. Carson
pastor. Rev A. J. Smith and Rev. w. T..
Hollingsworth were appointed as alternates
The presbytery then proceeded to the eX-
animation of Licenuate L. X. Lynn Tor
ordination to the full work of the minis
try. The examination was somewhat
abbreviated inasmuch as the candidate
had recently passed a highly creditable
examination for hcensure which included
his knowledge of the Latin language,
Green and Hebrew; also mental philoso-
ply, logic, rhetoric, ethics, natural and
exact sciences, theology, ecclesiastical
history; the sacraments and church gov
eminent, also experimental religion; a
thesis in the Latin language and a sermon.
This examination was so well sustained
that the presbytery resolved to proceed to
his ordination in the evening, and the
moderator was instructed to preach the
ordination sermon, to preside and pro-
pound the constitutional questions, and TO
offer the prayer of ordination. The pres
bytery reassembled for this purpose at
o'clock, and after an instructive sermon
by the moderator on THE Greatness of
the Christian Ministry"
THE presbytery, with prayer and the
laying on of hands according to the apos-
tolc example, solemnly set Rev. Mr.. Lynn
apart to the ministry, and the moderator
so announced.
1t was a solemn and impressive scene as
the young man knelt and the members of
the presbytery, gathering in a circle
around him. laid their hand on his head.
After the ordination prayer he arose and
each member taking him by the hand,
said: Il give you the right hand of fellow
ship to take part in this ministry with
us.
The presbytery adjourned after singing
a hymn and the apostolic benedction by
the moderator.

PLEASED WITH THE MOBILE.
Maj. Hopkins Made a Trip to Cuba
for an Inspection.


for an Inspection.
Maj. George II. Hopkins, assistant adju-
tant general of the army, and military
aide to the Secretary of War, arrived
yesterday on the Mobile. When the vessel
sailed from here with the One Hundred and
Sixty-first Indiana Maj. Hopkins was with
her. He had been asked by the secretary
to make the trip to Cuba on the vessel and
submit report to the department regard
ing her fitness as a transport.
Maj. Hopkins was wen pleased with his
trip He said he found the vessel in an
excellent condition, and that there will be
but few things for him to recommend 10
the department in the way of changes
or alterations. He found that the new
mattresses now on the wire cots on the
ship are not necessary, and that they
are so very likely TO become soiled after
short use that it would probably be better
to have them taken off. An air of I'M
cleanliness would be impaired to the entire
vessel if the men Should have the mat
tresses to receive the dirt from their
shoes.
The mattresses are one of the matters
that will be suggested by the major as
worthy of some change. There viii be one
or two others of minor detail. His report
upon the efficiency of the vessel and her
adaptation TO the comfort and convenience
of troops viii be the basis for the re-
fitting up of other vessels that are to be
put In ship yards from time to time to
be remodeled in their interiors for the
transportation of troops. Some of the
transports on the line between Savan-
nah and Havana will be taken off for
this purpose shortly, among them the
Michigan.
Her trip with the One Hundred and Six
ty-first was the Mobiles first since she
left Cramps ship yards. She was some
two months in the yards undergoing the
work that has put her in the good shape
she now is for carrying troops 1t was the
work of the shipbuiders that fixed her so
she can carry 2.20O men. The transports
Massac husetts and Mohawk are also in
dock being rehtted. the former at Bath
and the latter at Erie Basin They will
be out in a few days and viii be put on
the Savannah-Havana line. Maj Hop
kins says that, when the work that is con-
templated for the transports in the service
has been completed. the United States
will have the finest vessels in the world
for carrying troops.

SOLD TURKEYS UNFIT FOR FOOD
Fowls That Had Died in CoOps Ped
died on the Streets.

died on the Streets.
People who are about to buy Christmas
turkeys cannot be too careful about the
selection of them, or of whom they are
bought. A great many turkeys are ship
ped from Tennessee in coops Some of
them are dead when they arrive, and this
is not due to any unhealthy condition Of
the turkeys but likely to crowding in
coops, the birds are nevertheless unfit for
food and are sent TO the crematory when
not disposed of to INSCRIPTIONS persons
who palm them off on unsuspecting buy
ers.
A reliable Liberty street green grocer
said last night that this very thing is be-
ing done. During the day man entered
his store Juggling two large gobbers and
tried to sell them for wild turkeys. The
grocer examined them and found that
they were not wild turkeys al all and
bore every mark of the cooped product
Wild turkeys are usually killed by sports
men, and by the gun wounds are easily
distinguished from domestic turkeys, and
if it were not possible to tell them any
other way they are readily known by this.
Fearing, evidently lest the grocer might
suspect him, finding that the turkeys were
not what he represented them to be, the
man left. Not long afteward he had dis
appeared with his gobblers, a prominent
citizen came into the store and spoke OF
two fine wild turkeys he had bought at
an amazingly low price. His description
of the person selling them to him tailed
with that of the man who had attempted
to sell them to the grocer.
The grocer began an investigation IN a
quiet way and from a down town store
learned that two turkeys were given a
person whom he is sure is the same one
who sold the birds. The turkeys were
about dead upon arrival here and were
thrown out of the coop The men begged
them as bait for a fish trap and took them
away. There is no further clue to him,
and he is not reported working this
game upon others, but it is well enough
to be on the lookout.
