Baptisms.
It was my happy privilege to baptize
two very lovely young ladies on Sabbath
morning last, at Bethel church, Musco
gee county. One of them was from our
Sabbath school. A more lovely scene is not
often witnessed at a burial with Christ. A
heavenly glory rested on the countenance of
each as they came up out of the water. Our
Sabbath school opened, first Sabbath in March,
with renewed interest. C. C. Willis.

Lights and Shadows.
Starkeville, Lee county, is quite small; it
was never large, though once larger than at
present. The Baptist church there is small,
and my visit there was in January, and at
that time there was no pastor —had been none
for a year. But that shade was very much
brightened by a subscription of S3OO to se
cure and pay for the services of a young bro
ther, as pastor, whom I highly recommended
to them. Now the little church has one of
the best young preachers we have as their
b shop— W. 11. Cooper. The church will
perhaps build a house of worship at Woot
en’s Station, on the railroad, as it would be
more convenient, and secure larger attendance.
Brother W. A. Jones, a deacon of this church,
has a son who rooms with young brother
Norton at Penfield, from whom I got pleas
ant tidings of the beneficiary of the Central
Association. An appeal for our missionary,
brother Hogue, was liberally responded to.
This was no shadow, nor was it shadowy at
brother Jones’ Baptist home, where I preach
ed at night to his laborers, in his own house.
And bright is the fact that the earnest appeal
of a young Christian woman induced me to
give Stark ville an appointment, which visit
resulted in aid to missions, and in aiding the
church to get a pastor. One fact of darker
shade is, some of the brethren have ability to
be more useful than they are, or have been,
at least.
My visit to Spalding Seminary was attend
ed with mingled pleasure and pain. Met an
old, tried friend and brother, a former dea
con, who knew nothing of my business or
work—just because he never sees the Index.
This cast a shadow over me. Preached for
an afflicted sister, one of the best friends and
church members 1 have ever had—very fee
ble ; may never meet her again oil earth.
Got no assistance for missions. Now comes
the “ lights Anew subscriber to the Index;
a hearty, smiling welcome by brother W. C.
Wilkes and lady ; a look into his large, new
seminary building, and at his large school of
sprightly children. Brother Wilkes is doing
a fine thing for the youth of that section, but
I fear is overtaxing himself. He is growing
gray too fast. He is doing a plenty for two
men. God bless him and family, and all the
dear brethren I met there, and at Marshall
ville, where 1 spent two nights so pleasantly,
with the sweet privilege of making the ac
quaintance of Bishop B. W. Whilden, of
whom I had heard and read so often. What
a treat to a wearied agent to meet and min
gle with such men ! All light about M.
A happy, united pastor and little church. The
church is going to have a parsonage, if possi
ble. Brother Whilden gives them his whole
time. Here I found warm friends to our
Fiard, and received assistance; although, in
addition to all I have mentioned, the church
aids in supporting brother Murrow, and his
little daughter at school in Forsyth is also
assisted. Sweet the associations 1 enjoyed
there; sweet the memory of such a loving
pastor and people, of such kind brethren and
sisters —such would 1 could linger with. I
rejoice that we have such a man, such a pas
tor as our new comer from South Carolina.
Thank God ! the light some times predomi
nates with an agent. But the Lord be praised
for the “the light of Ilis countenance.”

It affords us pleasure to state that there are signs
of improvement in the health of the Proprietor, and
cheering grounds of hope for his recovery. But his
recovery, while according to the probabilities of the
case, cannot be rapid ; since he has not been at any

up even in bed for so much as a minute or two. His

settle differences on these measures. There

urday last, kept in close confinement at the

that Capt. Stephens declined to give answers

Bell and the General concerning the where
abouts of a Mr. Taylor, (a kinsman,) of Texas,
who was charged with the killing of Major
Thompson, U. S. A., in 1867.
Real Estate in Atlanta. —As an evidence
of the rapid increase in the value of Atlanta
real estate, we cite the following: Prior to
the war, Peter Huge paid $2,000 for the Hoi
land House, at the corner of Alabama and
Whitehall street;. At the time, it was con
sidered a full price for it. Mr. Huge sold
the corner now occupied by James’ Bank to
a Savannah banking company for $5,000 in
gold. They in turn sold it to John H. James
for $12,000. Mr. James last year paid $4,000
for the shoe shop on Alabama street, and last
week paid SB,OOO for the store occupied by
Bell & Hammock, and $lO 000 for that occu
pied by Mr. Crawford. Mr. Huge has re
ceived about $30,000, and the balance now
owned by him is estimated at $15,000.
Mr. James will improve the block, and add
greatly to the appearance of James’ corner.—

Hon. Garnett Andrews—“ Reminiscences of an
Old Georgia Lawyer.”—We find the following ref
erence to this distinguished Georgian and his forth
coming book in the Era of the 6th instant:
“ Hon. Garnett Andrews is in the city, and in ap
parent good health. He is here superintending the
publication of a book which is now being printed in
the Franklin Printing House. The book is entitled,
“ Reminiscences of an old Georgia Lawyer.” and
promises to be one that will be popular, not only with
the bar, but with the general reader. We have seen
some advance sheets of the work, and find them to
be full of history, and sparkling with that high order
of humor which one would naturally expect from the
representatives of so learned a profession as that ol
the law. „ .
Judge Andrews, during his long professional career,
has been noted for his genial humor : hence he is the
very man to prepare the wore. which he has under
taken.”
The book, soon to issue from the Book Department
of the Franklin Printing House, will contain 100 or
more pages—complete in itself—and is one of the
most highly entertaining volumes of the day. The
price of the book, $1 per copy ; liberal discount to tbe
trade. Address J. J. Toon, Publisher.
We are gratified to learn that J. Stainback Wilson,
M.D., who, be lor-, the war and while a resident of
Columbus, Ca.,edited with so mui-h acceptance, the
“Health Department” of Godey's Lady's Book, has
located in our city, for the practice of his profession.
He has commenced a series of short hygienic articles
in the columns of the Daily New Era; but his ex
tensive information and his facile fen, we hope, will
find scope for themselves in a Popular Journal of
Health established by himself and published in our
midst.

Prof. J. M. C. Shumate, of this city, has invented
anew Reflector Fire place, which, on the score of
economy and comfort, possesses strong claims to the
attention of the public. It has been put up for some
sixteen gentlemen in Atlanta, who give most flatter
ing certificates of its value—to the effect, (if we may
state their import in brief.) that it diminishes by one
third ihe amount of fuel consumed and increases by
one-half the amount of beat thrown out. lis merits
are—l, the change in mathematical proportions; sub
stituting the obtuse angle which permits, for the
acute or right angle which obstructs, the radiation of
heat,—2, the retarded draft; avoiding the waste of
heat which, as chimneys are usually constructed, is
thrown away, with respect to the warming of the
apartment, because necessary to expel the superflu
ous mass of incumbent air,—3. the non-conductor
lying back of the surface ; throwing forward the heat
generated, much of which escapes ordinarily into the
brick-work, and is lost, —4, the lateral reflectors ; in
creasing the radiation of heat,—and 5. the self-clear
ing power of the apparatus; preventing soot-slides
into the room and the liability of the chimney to take
fir*. We commend it to the notice of our readers.

25th, 1870. The deceased was boru in Columbia coun
ty, Ga., Jan. 24th, 1805, and was, consequently, 84
years old. In early manhood he united with the Bap
tist church, and was for twenty four yea s a minister of
that cburch. He was thoroughly B iptistic in all his
views, and loved that church for its time-honored devo
tion to rel gious liberty. Although a determined Bap
tist from principle and conscientious convictiou, be yet
bad an enlarged charity tor others not of “the time tailh
and order.” It is unnecessary to speak of bis many vir*
tues. Those who knew him cun have but one opiniou
in regard to his character. His many friends in Geor
gia, Alabama and Mississippi will not be surprised to
learn that during a protracted illness he awaited the
approach of death With the fortitude of a philosopher,
and the cheering hope of a Christian. He had an abun
dant faith to suataiu him in the hour of trial. Almost
his last words were, “l am thinking seriously of going
off to hcaveu.” “ Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord." Fxlius.

burn of pious parents, her heart and mind were, by
their godly walk and conversation, imbued with the
same faith, and her feet early taught to walk securely
the way of Christian holiness. It is tLe privilege and
everlasting happiness of some, to fiud.and travel to tne
end, the same highway, without the benefit and advan
tage of early religious training. But the promise is
only to the children of faith—the early taught and
trained. What promise? “Train up a child in the
way he should go, aud when be is old be will not de
part from it.” So many seeming contradictions of this
Christian injunction meet us constantly, that the world
denies, and many professedly pions doubt the wisdom
of the wise man, when he recorded this ancient proverb
for the direction and comfort of God's people. But how
truthfully was it illust-ated in the life of this godly
woman? She never depart*d from the way in which
her childhood was trained. Aud she has gone up to re
ceive the welcome of, “ Well done good and faithful
servant,” and the happy congratulations of those whose
prayers and holy counsels were her best earthly portion.
She was for many years a member of the Baptist cburch
at Bar Camp, and though physical infirmities often kept
her from the house of God, yet her vacant ant never ex
cited alarm in the mind of the church fur her spiritual
safety, for every one felt that while absent i« the body,
she was present in spirit. If there were any Ms and
floods in her Christian life, the wor'd them ;
but it was an even, steady, full CHrrent. Hers was not a
fitful, ephemeral faith ; but constant, steady, vitalizing;
enabling her, in the midst of great bodily weakness, to
confront bravely and bear uncomplainingly, the sore
trials and crushing crosses imposed by the frequent
visitations of death to her house. Hopdthrew its light
upon every duty, and faith imparted cheerfulness to
every work of her hands. She iret i cell and fully the
duties of life—the patient, suffering child of God—the
industrious, earnest wife, and ihe dutiful, laithfuljnother
to the last. The many Christians the
hospitalities of her house before and since the death of
her lamented husband, and who wiN learn from this
tribute of Christian affection, the first tidings of her
absence from earth, will recognize the truth of much
that i< here written, while those of us who-knew her
intimately, ut borne, are assured that she has exchanged
earth for heaven. Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they
may rest from their labors, and their works do follow
them, J. B. I.
GEORGIA STERLING was born of pidus parents,
to iroup county, on 13th December, liftL While a
student in the Southern Female College, under the tui
tion and proprietorship of Milton E. Bacoi, in the Fall
of 1846, was seriously impressed with ber condition as
a aiuuer, and in a revival of unusual intertst, agitating
ihe whole community, was h.mefiillr convicted and in
the siugleness and wealth of her-itUeiilioTO, gave her
heart to the Saviour, and was baptized Into the ftllow
ship of the Baptist church, by Rev. D-. J»bn E. Daw
son, who was also her preceptor befor the succession of
President Bacon. 'J be frivolities of youth, added to all
the pleasing fancies which worldly riches, indulgent pn
reuts and the attractions of cultivated society could
contribute, never for a moment diminished her allegi
ance to her Saviour. Although -Jutanffg.
many sorrows during her maidenhood, her heart" was
comtorted and sustained bv the consolations ot an un
wavering hope in the Saviour. On the 24th December,
1850, she was matried to James S. Walker, who bears
his testimony to the fact that she never reti-ed to her
Couch for rest, at night, without invoking God’s lor
giveness and blessings upon herself and all connected
with her. By God’s blessings upon her faithful and
prayerful eff >rts, her husband joined the church in
September, 1853. Passing through sor
rows and earthly misfortunes, she never complained,
but committed herself aud all dear to hereto the Sa
viour of sinuers. In the last illness of Rev. Dr Cun
ningham, she ministered unto him and his distressed
family, and was more railed on by bis discut White wile
and daughters, than any other neighßorT'.H'ff soul was
refreshed, and her faith in her Saviour strengthened, by
witnessing bis fortitude and Christian resignation to the
will of his Redeemer. When, a few bourabelore his
death, he called his family around him tiTMid them a
final uff ctiouate adieu, she was present ai>d drank it
all in, as the refreshing from the throne of God. Upon
returning home front this afflicted family, ske was vio
lently attacked, and said to her husband, mother and
children, that her time was approaching, and gave final
directions as to her earthly desires. Calmly and peace
fully, she said all was well with her, and during her
illness of sixteen days, often repeated severtrl passages
of Scripture, which were impressed on her mind, and
many of which she had pre-iously marked in her Bible.
She also requested some of her friends present, to sing
for her, ‘ Angel Band.” Her physical sufferings were
intense during the lust week of her illness, but no moan
or complaint escaped her lips. All her physician pre
scribed was takeu without a murmur. And on Monday
morning, March 21st, at o’clock, she passed away
without a struggle, as calmly and peacefully as if going
into a gentle slumber. She often exhorted b.**r husband
and childen to trust in Jet us and meet her in the land
of eternal rest. She leaves nine children—seven sons,
and two daughters. The eldest nearly uirieteen years, the
youngest nineteen months. Her ministrations to the
sick and afflicted, as well as her the poor, are
known only to her Creator. Her devotion to the cause
of Christ, and her attendance upon all the_duties and
appointments of His house, are we’l known and attest
ed by her brethren and sisters. Her intellectual vigor
and cultivation were of the highest order, calculated to
adorn the most elevated sphere in life. Without pride
or vanitv, she exemplified the sacred teachings of her
divine Master aud Redeemer, and won her way to the
affections ol all whom she met, by the diguitv. simplici
ty and integrity ol her deportment. Friend.

It is with so much reluctance that I appeal to my
Baptist brethren, that I have already\jlelayed to do
so much longer than I should. Birt-we must have
money. The past -salaries have not been paid, and
on tbe Ist of April another quarterly paymevirfadtte.
The Professors cannot live without "These payments.
I have made private appeals by letter, and a few have
responded, but not one-fifth of those to wmom I wrote
for instalments already due. In addition to other de
mands upon him, Dr. Broadus is having a valuable
book stereotyped, and the money must be paid for it.
If the salaries were paid, mutual help might be given.
I beg bretcren not to wait to pay money at the Con
vention at Louisville, in May, but send it at once.
Especially is mis asked of those already owing instal
mentsen bonds, and more especially of those owing
upon five hundred dollar bonds. Will not others, too,
send us a donation? Five, ten, twenty, fifty, one
hundred dollars, whether to pay a pledge or as a do
nation. Will not each brother scud.'tfmf that at once?
Send in registered tetter, post office draft, or draft on
New York, or even by mail.

By this device there wili be no accumulation of in

methods adopted by other Companies.
GUARANTEE INTEREST TABLE.
The Georgia Mutual is the first Southern Company
to issue policies guaranteeing six per cent, compound
interest, in addition to the ussuruuce of the arnouut
insured.
It is confidently expected that the Dividend Annui
ties will fully equa the highest rates of interest paid
by Savings Institutions, while the policies themselves
must be held as an investment equally as profitable and
secure as lands or government bonds.
Bv these policies the longest lives are secured the
fullest benefits of their insurance in the constant re
currence of their annuities; and the sooner the annuity
commences, the better for the party insured.
This policy is positive in its character, simple in its
provisions, and, in its mathematical structure, within
the comprehension of minds of the most model ate cul
ture. .
I earnestly appeal to all parties interested, to assist
me in building up a Home Company wbose merits and
