To Correspondents.—We beg the brethren generally
to furnish us with news from the churches '■—ordinations,
•astoral changes, revivals—every thing, in fact, which
enters into the current history of the denomination.
Such intelligence is always thankfully received and
published promptly.
of any character, to insure an in
sertion in the issue ot the current week, must reach us
by Monday. Let all of our friends bear this in mind.
Wanted, a situation as Teacher, by a Virginia lady,
a full graduate of the Albemarle Female Institute
competent, and experienced in teaching English, in
cluding the “ Literature of the Language,” Composi
tion and Higher Mathematics; also, Latin, French
and Music. Has taught in large schools principally,
with only one year’s experience as a teacher in a
private family. Holds certificates of proficiency, etc.,
from distinguished teachers and ministers of the gos

Personals, etc.- -We are pleased to learn that
Dr. Mell has returned from his mountain trip
greatly invigorated in health, and that he had the
satisfaction of baptizing another interesting can
didate, at Antioch, on last Sabbath. The Dr.
knows precisely how to appropriate, to the best
advantage and improvement, his days and weeks
of rest and recreation.
Rev. G. B. Bealer, D. D.—The intimate, pleas
ing and sacred relations which have existed be
tween the Madison Baptist church and her pastor,
Rev. G. B. Bealer, D. D., are near the period of
their termination, as he has regarded it his duty
to resign, which resignation is to take effect No
vember Ist. The purposes of the Dr. are unknown
to us, but we do know that he is an able minister
of the gospel, and folly competent to serve in any
position to which he may be called, consistent
with his ministerial duties.
The numerous brethren and friends of Rev. C.
M. Irwin, will address him, in future, at Mocon,
instead of Marietta, as he has returned to the
field of his ministerial duties.
Bko. W. A. Denson, of Monticello, brother A.
C. B—, of Tuskegee, and other Alabama friends,
inform us of large clubs for this paper, in a form
ative state, among their people. The way to
“redeem the time” and accomplish the largest
good, is for every reader to seek the introduction
of the paper into the families of the entire com
munity in which he lives—especially into every
Baptist family. Is it not worthy of such intro
jhetion ?
Propositions — To Alabama. — With the view
of meeting the wants, and promoting the varied
interests of the denomination in the State of Ala
bama, we hope to submit, at an early day, such
propositions as will be regarded with general favor
by our brethren in that State. In the meantime
we would earnestly appeal to the brethren to
write us all the religious news within their reach,
and let us have such other information as may
interest the friends of the cause generally,—and
all the subscribers they can secure.

It would seem that the time for live action had
arrived. Live interests call loudly for live ser
vice, and live men must determine to accomplish
something, in the strength of a Living Master.
Our Schools. —The fall Term of Mercer Uni
versity opened favorably about three weeks ago;
the number of matriculants being larger than is
usual at this season of the year. We learn that
the students have gone to work in good earnest,
and are more diligent, attentive and orderly than
ever. The wholo machinery of the College seems
to be in pertect working order, and moves on
smoothly and harmoniously.
The Tuskegee Meeting. —We have an interest
ing account of this meeting ; though too late for
this issue. We have been compelled to defer
the appearance of other matter for the want of
room. J-W” We would again urge all who favor
ns with news letters, to have them reach our office
by Monday morning. We .very earnestly and
devoutly ask the brethren and friends to continue
their heart-cheering communications in the future
as they have during several weeks pash Such
news cannot be otherwise than highly appreciated
by our readers.
“Shads.” — A jocose young friend often re
marks, with reference to certain calls, “ Shake
the shads at him, and he will bow complacently
and come.” The Index would say to its friends,
“shake your shads.” Fifteen letters with only
forty cents from the batch, is a “ shad ” which
can be seen through too easily. Large, fat
“shads” is what the Index calls for. Let it not
call in vain.
Shei.ton — Bass. —Married, at the residence of
John M. Bass, Esq., in Nashville, Tenn., on the

billiard saloons, gambling hells, stores, shops, and
business houses open, filled with customers, equal
to those of any day in the week.”

39 years.
Another Railroad.— ln calling attention to a
communication on the subject, the Carrollton
Alabamian says : The extension of the Gaines
ville road through Pickens and Fayette in the
direction of Decatur, is the most important enter
prise to the people of West Alabama and to the
city of Mobile that has ever been prqjected, and
is one which was urged upon the attention of the
Legislature and people of Alabama by one of her
most eminent and practical statesmen nearly
thirty years ago, and it is now evident to the good
sense of every man that if Mobile had then ad
dressed her energies to the construction of this
road, she would have subserved her interest much
more than in building the Mobile and Ohio Road.
Georgia Air Line Railroad. —The Constitu
tion of this city says that “ the grading for the
first twenty miles of the Air-Line Railroad is
nearly ready for the rails. The locomotive, cars
and iron for this road is expected the coining week.
As soon as it arrives, the rails will be laid to
Peachtree Creek. The timbers for the bridge at
this creek are now nearly' ready forputting up.
It is estimated that in four days time the bridge
can be so nearly completed as to allow the trains
to cross. When this is done, the worn of laying
the rails will be continued until the whole twenty
miles is laid down. In a few days th'e contract for
graiding the road to Gainesville, will be given out.
We learn that it is highly probable that the Air-
Lme Road will purchase the depot of the Atlanta
and West Point Railroad, as a freight depot.
Under the sage advice of its Chief Engineer, the
Air-Line is rapidly progressing, and will soon
garner in the products of North Georgia.”
The editor of the Tuskaloosa Monitor writes to
his paper from Blount Springs, and says: “Owners
of lands in the neighborhood hold them at enor
mous prices. The prospect of the railroad next
year seems to cause each one to imagine that he
has a gold or silver mine under the rocks that, in
great part, constitute his “land.” The place is
rapidly filling up with citizens. Many families
are preparing to live here all the year round.
The crops are promising this season , and next
summer will offer great inducements to visitors.
There is not an ear of old corn to be had, because
of the failure of last year’s crop. Horses are fed
chiefly on wheat, which is rather a poor substi
tute.”
The Union Springs Times says: On last Friday
a voung man by the name of Armstrong, and a
Miss Hodby, from the neighborhood of High Log,
in this county, went to Columbus and were mar
ried. A brother of Aarmstrong accompanied the
pair. The party returned to this place by the
evening train, and were met here by the young
lady’s brother. A serious rencounter was the
consequence of the meeting, which resulted in the
shooting through the thigh of young Hobdy, a
tolerably severe knife wound across the breast of
one of the Armstrongs, and a slight pistol-ball
wound in the side of the other. The parties were
arrested and placed under bonds to appear for
trial.
East Tennessee Corn Crop. —The Moristown
Gazette says: “After pretty general inquiry from
the farmers throughout this section, we are satis
fied that not more than a half crop of corn will
be raised in this ‘ neck’o the wood.’ No amount
of rain would now retrieve the damage done by
the protracted dry weather. Accounts similarly
unfavorable come from the adjoining counties.
The opinion is general that there will be but little,
if any, surplus for market, even with favorable
seasons until gathering time.”
From all parts of Central Alabama we hear the
same story —the yield of cotton is falling short of
expectations indulged three weeks ago. To the
middle of July, or later, the crop was backward
—full two weeks behind the average seasons. Au
gust Ist to 10th it came forward rapidly, and the
prospect was encouraging. Then came the change.
Drought, worms, rust, not all together, blighted
the sanguine hopes of the planters. The yield in
this section will be full twenty-five per cent, less
than was calculated upon one month ago by the
most experienced and prudent cultivators.— Selma
Argus. t
Brunswick, Ga. —Savannah must look to her
laurels. The New York Tribune is out with a
prodigious puff of the advantages and prospects
of Brunswick, Ga., which it thinks destined, after
a while, to outshine all the Southern seaports in
prosperity and importance. The new railroad
connections of Brunswick are extolled to the skies,
and the Tribune raptuously concludes: “By these
roads she will be rendered the most convenient
and accessible Atlantic port to a vast and fertile
cotton-growing area, whence her receipts will be
counted by the hundreds of thousands of bales;
and her harbor be crowed with vessels loading
with cotton as it already begins to be with ves
sels shipping timber to various foreign and do
mestic ports on either coast of the Atlantic. Ten
years hence Brunswick will be among the foremost
of Southern seaports, with her lines of steamers
to New York, Havana and Liverpool, with a pros
pect of growth and greatness whereof Baltimore
affords the most striking premonition.”
“Search the Scriptures.” —At the late inter
esting session of the Central Association, the fol
lowing resolution was appended to the report of
the Committee on Sabbath Schools, and adopted
with considerable enthusiasm. We commend it
as worthy the consideration and prompt action of
our churches:
That the members of each church of this As
sociation be earnestly requested to organize them
selves into a Bible class or classes for the weekly
investigation of the Scriptures, in connection with
their present Sunday school organization, and that
each and every member of our churches would
be especially urged to unite in this work for per
sonal religious improvement, and for our more
efficient Christian service as members of the body
of Christ.
To Rev. J. J. S. Renfroe.
Dear Brother: In responding to the closing
paragraph of your interesting communication, to
be found in another column, the Index and Bap
tist would express its appreciation of the wants
and necessities of its Alabama friends, and the
importance of an available and generally approved
medium through which those wants may find dis
semination.
The Index flattered itself when a union with
the Baptist was consummated, in 1865, —the
same having been done with the advice and con
sent of the warmest friends of the latter, —and
when the latter was made a part of the “ head
and front” of the former—that the “great body
of Alabama Baptists ” would unite in vigorous
efforts to secure to the greatest number the great
est good. Such was deemed then, and is now,
the spirit and intent of the arrangement, and
wide open have stood the doors, and cordial and
oft-repeated have been, and are, the invitations to
all to come forward and participate in the joys
and pleasures of the paper, and at the same time
take part in its labors. We have sought by pri
vate and public appeals to leading Baptists in
Alabama, to obtain information from every part
of the State; and have even proffered to send the
paper gratis to such of the brethren as would
send an occasional letter for publication ; but
ardently as we desired this end, it is to be regret
ted that only in part has it been attained— and
why ? The Index and Baptist will submit a
solution of the question to others ?
And now, as to the interrogatory of brother
Renfroe: “ what now is the remedy ?” the Index
& Baptist will say : Let the united hosts of Ala
bama Baptists arise in their power and might to
the support of a journal that has never omitted
an opportunity to serve them—that has labored
in the past to carry sunshine to their firsides, and
joy to their hearts, and will do so even more vig
orously in the future if they will only open their
doors, and give it permission. Do this, brother
Renfroe, and the remedy is at hand ! With such
an uprising of the people, and such manifestations
of interest in, and such contributions to, the mate
rial existence of the paper, large additions could
be made to its editorial staff, and ample space
provided for their accomodation.
The Index & Baptist has had its anxious eye
towards an eight page folio, arranged after the
latest style and most popular form of successful
journalism, and if such an army of able supporters
will move forward to our aid the, desire can be
consummated.
And now we repeat an invitation heretofore ex
tended to all, that our columns are open to contri
butions of Alabama news and religious intelligence,
hoping that the brethren will write us as often as
possible.
In this connection we will refer to The Happy
Home, anew feature soon to be added to the
Index & Baptist, and one that its friends cannot
fail to appreciate.
For Consideration. —From the minutes of the
recent session of the Central Association, the
following is taken :
Resolved, That the removal of Mercer Universi
ty is a question deserving the considertion of all
Georgia Baptists, and that this body recommend
the Convention to move the College whenever and
wherever they think proper.
Resolved, That our brethren be urged to aid
liberally in raising the proposed fund of SIOO,OOO
for the endowment of Mercer University.
Brother Jewell offered the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We, as Baptists, in holding monthly
instead of weekly meetings, have well nigh rejected
the commandment —“ Remember the Sabbath day
to keep it holy,” as well as the injunction of the
Apostle—“ Forsake not the assemblfhg of your
selves together, as the manner of some is.” There
fore, be it /
Resolved, That it is the sense of this body, that
the hidden talent of the churches will be more
fully developed, and their efficiency and power
more fully realized, by holding religious services
in every church, on each Sabbath day, either by
the ministry, or by any orderly member of the
church.
YVhereas, God, in his all wise yet inscrutable prov
idence, has been pleased to lay his afflicting hand heav
ily once, nay, twice, upon our brother, Rev. William H.
Clarke, in removing by death, first his babe, tnen, two
brief, anxious days later, dear little Meta, of six sum
mers. a bright, lovely child, and “an only daughter
and, whereas, one of the beautiful characteristics of
the religion we profess is to rejoice with those who
rejoice, and to weep with those that weep : Be it,
therefore.
Resolved, That, as members of the Bethel Church
and congregation, we sincerely sympathize with our
brother and friend, Rev. W. H. Clarke, in this season
of bilter domestic affliction: and, although clouds
and darkness for the present oversnadow his earthly
home, we, his brethren in the Lord, whilst counselling
resignation to the Divine will—for “J, the Lord, do
all these things" —with unfeigned Christian faith and
exhultation, would point the broken hearted and be
reaved ones to the “Christian’s home in glory,” the
home of blessed re-union»with long absent dear ones,
and
“ Where no farewell tear is shed.”
Resolved, That the foregoing preamble and resolu
tion be enteredfcipon the minutes o t the church, and
that the clerk be instructed to furnish brother Clarke
with a copy of the same, and a copy to the Christian
Index, for publication. S. P. Davis, j

NEW INDUCEMENTS.
TWO PAPERS AT THE PRICE OF ONE.
Choice Literature and Useful Domestic Information.
To the Patrons of the “Index Baptist ,” and others:
The Proprietor of this old and popular religious
journal has determined to add anew and interesting
feature to it, in the shape of an Eight Quarto Page
Supplement, to be issued once a month, and to be a
medium through which subscribers to the Christian
Index will receive a rich store of “ Choice Literary
and Domestic Gleanings,” from the vast and fresh
fields of Literature, and the quiet walks of Domestic
Life. It is believed that an existing want in the
home circle will thus be supplied and that families
will find food for reflection, as well as delightful en
tertainment and recreation, in the choice reading
matter which it is designed to furnish them in the
proposed supplement. Not romance and indifferent
poetical effusions, but the choicest gems of solid Lit
erature-sketches of travel, extracts from new books,
biographies, educational notes, historical incidents
etc.; to which will be added valuable domestic in
formation for the garden and culinary department.
It is contemplated to make the latter feature especial
ly useful tothe ladies in their every day home duties;
will also be of special interest to Farmers.
This new Supplement to the Christian Index will
have for a name,
THE HAPPY HOME;
Or, Choice Literary and Domestic Gleanings,
and will comprise eight elegantly printed quarto
pages, so arranged that twelve numbers will make a
beautiful volume tor binding. It will be issued about
the middle of each month, and will accompany the
Index in its extensive rounds among the “ happy
homes” in this and adjoining States. To regular
subscribers there will be no extra charge, the Pro
prietor designing it as “ complimentary ” to those
who have been for so many years the steadfast friends
of the paper. Parties wishing The Happy Home
separate, can have it mailed to their address at 50
cents per volume.
It is hoped that parties in whose hands this circu
lar may fall will see new reasons for increased zeal
in behalf of the Christian Index. To have a first
class religious journal for the family circle, and at
the same time fall heir to a monthly literary and do
mestic paper of a high order, all for one'price, (see
terms of Index,) would seem to constitute induce
ments rarely met With ; and the Proprietor confident
ly hopes and expects that the large additional expen
diture of money and labor which The Happy Home
will necessitate, will be returned to him during the
year in new accessions to his subscription list.
The first number of the Supplement will appear
early in October ; meantime, those desiring to get the
numbers complete from tbe first, would do well to for
ward their names as subscribers to the Index.

THE “INDEX” AND THE HINKLEY KNITTING
MACHING !
A LIBERAL OFFER !
Having tested the merits of the machine, we are
prepared to give it our hearty endorsement; and in
order to place it within the reach of those who are
perhaps not able to purchase it at the price of S3O,
we make the following liberal offer :
To any one sending a club of TWENTY SUB
SCRIBERS to the Index, at our single rates of $4
each, (remitting us SBO by Express or P. O. Money
Order.) we will send the machine as a premium.
This affords an opportunity for a whole neighborhood
to read the Index for one year, while the Knitting
Machine will absolutely perform all the work of that
character that twenty families would require. It is
hoped that many neighborhoods will accept this lib
eral offer. Address, J. J. TOON,

JNFIRMARY FOR THE BLIND.
DR. W. A. HOOTEN
Has permanently located in
ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
He has opened a large and commodious Infirmary for
the Blind. He is treating diseases of the Eye success
fully, giving his personal attention to all cases pre
sented. Dr Hooten was blind three years himself, and
after having exhasuted, as he thought, the skill of the
Medical Profession both North and South, he came into
possession of a system of treatment bv which he was
soon restored to sight, lie was a graduated physician
and successful practitioner before he became blind. He
practices the same system by which he was restored.
In the past twelve years he has perfectly and perma
nently restored a great many persons from total blind
ness.
To remove from the minds of the most credulous anv
prejudices that may arise, he refers the public to the
following first class names, giving the post office ad
dress of each, and proposes that, for proof that any of
the certificates herein published by him are not genu
ine, or that these cures were not affected by him as
herein stated, to pay to the order of the individual pro
ducing said proof, five thousand dollars.

CERTIFICATES:
For the benefit of those suffering with sore eyes, and
in justice to Dr. Hooten, I will state that I took my
wile to Dr. Hooten on the 7th of May, 1868, entirely
blind—the result of a very high degree of inflamation
of the eyes. She commenced improving very soon un
der his treatment, and continued to improve rapidly
until quite restored to sight. On the 15th day of July
following she returned home with her sight entirely re
stored, without theslightesi inflammation about her eyes
perceptible. I feel safe in recommending Dr. Hooten
to every one suffering with the'r eyes.
S. S. DUNLAP, firm of Morgan & Dunlap.
Macon, Ga., July 25, 1858.
I have been afflicted with Granular Conjunctivitis
three years. Eor the last twelve months I have been
almost blind. I had to give up the management of all
my business in consequence of this affliction. I have
been under the treatment of Dr. Hooten three weeks.
In about four days I could see to make my way with
out inconvenience. I think I can now see as well as I
ever could. The disease appears to be removed, and I
fully believe that my eyes will be as good as they ever
were. In the short time that I have been under Dr.
Hooten, I have seen persons who came to him blind,
who are now entirely restored to sisrht. He has a large
number of patients, and so far as my knowledge ex
tends, they are, almost, without exception, improving
well. B. F. COWART.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 13, 1869.
For five years I have suffered greatly from Granular
Conjunctivitis. For two years 1 have been unable to
give personal attention to my affairs. During the five
years of my affliction I tried many eminent physicians,
in vain. The result was—blindness. In this distress
ing condition, I placed myself under the treatment of
Dr. Hooten, three weeks ago. In one week I could see
to make my way alone over the city. In two weeks I
wrote a long letter home to my family, with my own
hand. To-day, the end of three weeks, 1 have indulged
in reading fine print. I have every reason to believe
that I shall soon be restored. I have conversed with
many persons whom Dr. Hooten has entirely cured,
and I feel safe in advising all who are afflicted with
diseased eyes, to make no delay in giving him a trial.
Let every iriend of suffering humanity take every op
portunity of placing this certificate in the hands of the
afflicted,” C. B. McCutchkn,
Franklin, Ga., Aug. 18, 1869.
(Communicated,)
DR. HOOTEN’S INFIRMARY FOR THE BLIND—IMPORTANT IN
FORMATION TO THOSE AFFLICTED WITH DISEASE OF EYES
—NO HUMBUG.
Aware that there are many persons who are assidu
ously engaged in the effort to create a general impres
sion that Dr. Hooten is a “humbug,” and his practice
a mere farce, thereby preventing, as far as their influ
ence extends, those afflicted with diseased eyes from
coming to him for relief, we, a convenient number of
his patients, impelled by a sense of justice and grati
tude to Dr. Hooteu, and of duty to our fellow-sufferers,
take this method of placing before the world our united
testimony on this most important subject. There are
many other patients who would gladly add their names
and testimony, but circumstances do not afford present
opportunity. It is but proper to state that we put this
communication to press of our own accord, without
giving the slightest intimation of the same to Dr.
'ooten.
We fully believe that Dr. Hooten is all that his circu
lars, and other advertisements represent' him to be.
He is candid in his opinions. He will not promise more
than he thinks he can perform, nor detain persons on
expenses unnecessarily. For the reason that it would
require too much space for the present purpose, we
omit in this paper to give the history of individual
cases. Wi could give a number that are really won
derful in character. We know that a great many per
sons have come here to the lufirmary who were blind
for many years, that now see. Several have- been en
tirely restored—many others are now nearly well—and
almost without exception, all who have been under
treatment long enough to be fully impressed by it, are
making good improvement. We hereby earnestly in
voke all philanthropic persons seeing this statement, to
give it as wide a circulation as possible for the benefit
of their suffering race. We especially advise all who
may be inclined to come to Dr. Hooten, for consultation
or treatment, to give no heed to any representations
against him at home, on the way, or iu Atlanta. Come
directly to him. Moreover, be sure to converse with his
patients. Should any desire further information from
us on this subject, let them consult us either in person
or by correspondeudence at our respective post-offices,
given below. It will afford each and all of us the
greatest pleasure to give the desired character and
measure of special information.
