PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY,
AT MACON, 6A.,
BY A COMMITTEE OF BRETHREN, FOR THE
GEORGIA BAPTIST CONVENTION.
Eegty The Index office has been removed
from Third street to Mulberry, over the Bap
tist Book store, and next door to the Lanier
House.
We leave on Wednesday for the
Georgia Association, to commence at Shiloh.
This paper will reach the brethren before
they leave home, and inform them we shall
be ready to receive funds for the Index.
invite attention to our revival
column this week. It will be seen that the
aggregate of baptisms is 150. Bless the
Lord ! Georgia has been highly favored in
the conversion of souls.
jqp* We invite particular attention to the
catalogue of Books now on sale in the Bap
'flSrßook Store, tube found in another col
umn. We would also say to our brethren in
the country, that, while other stores in the
city keep for sale a few Baptist Books, the
only Baptist Book Store is that under the In
dex office. That is kept by a Baptist for the
Bible society. Os course, every good Baptist
will prefer to buy there.
ggp The best way to remit funds to the
Index office is by letter. If carefully mailed
it goes at the risk of the office.
Dr. Dagg’s Theology.
A copy of this work has been received,
and we are now engaged in its examination
with the view of its notice in a future num
ber of the Index. With the few chapters
read, we have been highly pleased, and we
make no question but that the book will be
demanded by hundreds of Baptists in Geor
gia. See advertisement in another column,
and send your orders to Jackson DeLoaolie,
Macon, Ga.
We have lately been compelled to
condense obituaries or leave many of them
unpublished. We learn that the relatives of
the deceased do not like this. How could we
have avoided doing so ? We have published
some biographically on the fourth page, charg
ing for extra length. The paper must bo en
larged, or patrons left unaccommodated.
Post Offices in Arrears.
We begin this week to publish arrearages
without mentioning names, to show that if .we
have to drop any at the end of this year it*
will simply be because wc can do no better.
77tree'names at Albany will owe by the Ist of
the ensuing January, $22,60; ten at Ameri
cas, $78,95; one at Alpine, $17,20; two at
Armenia, $28,50; Jive at Athens, $39,80;
four at Atlanta, $28,60; three at Adams, $27,-
90; two at Antioch, $24,85; six at Augusta,

ing apprised of our necessities.
High Tower Association.
We thank some friend for sending us the
Minutes of the above Association, which met
with Bethel church, Forsyth county, in Au
gust last. Eld. P. C, Blanton preached the
session sermon. Eld. A. Webb was elected
Moderator, and Eld. F. M. Hawkins, Clerk.
We thank the Association for recommending
the Christian Index.
Austin Baptist Association.
Some friend has sent us the Minutes of this
body which held its first session at Austin,
Texas, in July last. The third article of its
constitution reads as follows:
The objects of the Association shall be the
union of the Churches, the promotion of the
Gospel and the dissemination of Bible truth
by all laudable means.
With an object so laudable in its nature, we
bid our brethren of Texas God speed, and
have no fears that their well meant efforts to
spread the Gospel throughout that young but
growing State, will ever be disappointed.
Postal Visitors.
“ A Bkotiier” —The inquiry is so. compli
cated that we fear its publication would do
harm.
“ J. McC” —Our paper allows but of brief
communications. Present income will not
afford to pay correspondents.
W. H. A.’’ and “ B. a Friend,” will please
send us their real names. It is contrary to
•our rules to publish even obituaries without
knowing the writers’ names.
Rev. Wm. Hudgins.”—The Index office
will print 500 copies of the minutes for S3O,
and for every hundred above that, $3.

In Powelton, Georgia, on the gih Sept., SYLVIAII
JANE, consort of Dr. 41. F. Seay, aged 27 years. She
was a communicant of the'Baptist Church for t*e last
ten years ; and enjoyed, quietly and peaceabh4 that
joy which ever springs fro® tlie-con?eiousuesSA*| duty,
performed. In life, kindness and affection wwjSjHther
warm and. devoted friends; in t deaths*
friend that sticketh closer than a whfr
enabled her to breathe forth in the last struggle with
the enemy, “ Though I walk through the valley and
shadow of death, I fear no evil, for thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me. She has left a kind husband
and two little ones to mourn her departure ; while the
whole community have felt their loss.
She sleeps that still and pleasant sleep
For which the weary pant in vain;
And where the dews of evening weep
O’er her we ne’er shall see again.
She was like an angel here,
So lovely and so pure,
And she hath passed where spirits are,
To dwell with us no more.
‘Wc miss the kindness of her voice,
The beauty of her brow;
The sweetest words we ever heard
Are silent to us now. JULIA..
In Twiggs county, on the 21st Sept., Mr. JAMES W.
HALE, in the 20th year of his age.
Although having scarcely arrived at the age of man
hood, he possessed all those powers, moral and intel
lectual of a man of mature age, and which are rarely
developed in one so young.
. lie was admired by all for his brilliant intellect, un
tiring energy and manly fortitude in his daily avocation.
In his social intercourse he was always courteous and
affable, and bid fair to make a useful citizen, and boa
shining light in society. He was aware of his danger
ous condition a short time previous to his death and
reasoned in a logical and philosophic manner with his
Physicians concerning the termination of his disease
and expressed himself as being resigned to his fate.
How solmen the thought that one so young and in
all the vigor of youth, should, in a few days, be laid in
the dust. This is but another instance that a prepara
tion for death should not be postponed nutil we are on
the death bed.
How uncertain is life!
How certain is death!
A FRIEND.
Our much esteemed and beloved brother in the min
istry , PHILLIP AWTRY died at his residence, the
18th inat., ia Randolph Cpgnty, in the ,60th year .of hia,
age. In 1829, he, under a profession of
baptized and received into the fellowship of the bap
tist Church. He was a man full of faith and of the
Holy Spirit, served faithfully his Divine Master, giving
appearances to the wprld of a blessed inheritance above.
It was his chief and constant delight to wait upon the
Lord and minister the holy and heavenly precepts of
the gospel to a dying wbrld. But his earthly labors
are now ended. He is gone to the mausions of the re
deemed, there to reap the reward of his toils, to wear
the crown of righteousness prepared for the faithful,
and sing hallelujahs forever. By this dispensation a
heart-stricken wife, bereaved children, relatives and
friends are left to mourn the departed one. Sorrow
not, but live to meet him again. Touching and signifi
cant is the testimony he has left of his peace with God.
For while his soul was yet floating down the ocean of
rest, and the death-angel shadowed o’er the dying
couch to bear his spirit away, he breathed forth his
mournful farewell in the following impressive words of
revelation. “For lam now ready to be offered, and
the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a
good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the
faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness which the Lord the righteousness Judge
shall give me at that day.” B. F. C.
Fell asleep in the arms of Jesus, at her residence, in
Cobb county, on the 22dof August, 1857, Mrs. ELMER
JACKSON, of Chronic Diarrhrea, aged 76 years, one
month and 6 days. The deceased was born in Wilkes
county, July 16th, 1781. Was baptizedinto the fellow
ship of the Baptist Church, at Sardis, by the Rev. Enoch
Calaway, in 1829, removed to Cobb county in 1839,
where she lived a pious and devoted member of the
Baptist Church, until she was called by the Great Head
of the Church to join the Church triumphant above.
Her last hours were calm and composed, still willing to
trust in that Jesus whom she has long been trying to
serve.
Jesus did make her dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are,
Then on His breast she leaned her head
And breathed her life out sweetly there.

An Important Work.
SOUTHRRN BAPTIST PUBLICATION SOCIETY
HAVE issued a Standard Work , on Systematic
Theology, by Rev. J. L. Dagg, D. D., of Georgia.
This important treatise meets an acknowledged want
in the Baptist denomination, not only in the South, but,.
in the entire country. No book has ever yet appeared, *
from Baptist authorship in the United States, which ri
ses to the diguity and the high authority of a Standard
on Systematic Theology. Since the days ot President
Dwight, no American Divine has pretended to elabor
ate a complete outline of Christian doctrine. But
among all our American writers, there has never yet
appeared a book of sufficiently brief, yet comprehen
sive limits, as would answer the want of a text book in
Theological Seminaries, or in the hands of ministers for
the private training of Theological Students. And
self-educated ministers have equally needed a manual
which would present in a compact and complete form,
the great and harmonious development of Christian
theology.
In the present work, the want is in a very large de
gree satisfied. It contains the result of Dr. Dagg’s best
thinking, now in the maturity of his life, after a loDg
course of teaching and experience, as a student, a min
ister, a theological instructor, and a college president.
The Publication Society have stereotyped this work at
the outstart; and it is believed that it will meet with a
wide demand, not only by ministers, but by all thought
ful Christians. It is a large and beautiful octavo, of
379 pages. Price §1 50, at retail, and sent by mail,
postage prepaid.
Orders should be forwarded early, to

GEORGIA FEMALE COLLEGE,
MADISON, MORGAN COUNTY.
NINTH COLLEGIATE YEAR.
THE first term of the Ninth Collegiate Year will
commence on Monday, August 24th. This is the
most favorable tiufe for pupils to enter.
Every pupil will be examined, every year, publicly,
as to her proficiency in the Elementary Studies, Gram
mar, Geography, Arithmetic, Spelling, Reading and
Writing will thus become permanently incorporated
into tho mind of each pupil.
Iu order to promote habits of economy, a neat uni
form dress for Sundays and examinations has been
adopted. For school days calico, or gingham, or other
inexpensive fabric is prescribed. All expensive, or un
necessary jewelry is prohibited.
Circulars giving full particulars respecting the Uni
form, which, however, will not be introduced until the
season for winter apparel arrives, will be sent to each
