Hickman's lecture on tem perance in Witness hall last night was the best we have heard yet. His audience was completely cap tivated, one moment convulsed with laughter, the next melted to tears. He is ceitainly a master oi assemblies. As he described the ruinous effects of the liquor traffic his eyes dilated, his hoary locks seemed to stand on end, his com ma riding form shivered as if in pain, and the words fell from his eloquent lips like a shower of dia monds among his listeners. The people were so enthused and car ried away with the lecture last night that they prevailed on Col. Hickman to lecture again next Monday night. There are no charges made for these lectures and we trut the hall will be crowded. A Good Templars' lodge, was or ganized last night with seventy members. The following officers were elected and in stalled: J. A. Mellon, Chief Templar; Mrs. Ditto, Vice Templar; Cap t. Clary, Secre tary; M. M., Little, Financial Sec retary; Mrs. Th:se, Treasurer; Rev.

An Elaborate Railway Senice. The Southern Railway has put into operation the most elaborate and complete schedule of sleeping car lines ever operated between Florida and the North. Both the East and the West are included in the service. Besides the two lines running daily between Jack sonville and New York via F. C. P., Southern Railway, and Pennsylvania Railway, the famous Cincinnati and Florida Limited has been re established. This is a solid vestibuled train of baggage, Mail, Express and day coaches, and drawing room sleeping cars. It runs through without change, leaving Jacksonville at 7 p. m. daily by the F. C. P. Railroad, and reaching Cincinnati the next day at 7:45 p. m. This train has also a sleeping car from Jackson ville to St. Louis via Atlanta, Birmingham and Holly Springs, the most direct route. The Southern Railway has also put on sleeping car lines between Tampa and Kansas City, and be tween Jacksonville and Cincinnati in con nection with the Plant Sys tem via Jesup. The Cincinnati train, with a through sleeper, leaves Jacksonville daily at 11:30 p. m. and reaches Atlanta at 11:45 a. m. the next day, and Cincinnati at 7:20 a. m. the second day. The Kansas City car leaves Tampa at 3 a. m (Jacksonville 6:20 p. m.) and arrives in Kansas City at 5:20 p. m. the second day, going via At lanta, Birmingham and Memphis. This service gives the Southern Railway four daily trains between Jacksonville and Atlanta. Full information regarding rates and schedules may be had by ad dressing W. D.
