Rocky Mount on Foot Again.
Nearly two years ago, some incendiary
bur t our house of worship to the ground.
We were during the two years without any
vtace to worship in of our own. By the
kindness of our Methodist friends at Mech
r.nicsville, wo were permitted to hold meeting
in their house. The church, previous to the
burning of the house, had passed through a
terrible ordeal, which left us nearly dead in
two important elements, viz: in numbers
and financially. We could hardly hang to
gether. A dissolution was thought and talk
ed about. However, we agreed, last August,
to meet in the woods, near a saw-mill, with
axrs. We did so, and we asked our neigh
bors ar and friends to meet with us. We had
about fifty hands to assemble. We cut all
the timber in two hours of one day. We
h and to pay one half for sawing the other,
i next day some of the logs were at the
mil!, and in a few days the house was on foot.
\\ e have, by the help of brethren and friends,
nearly money enough to pay for its comple
tion. \\ e have now a good, comfortable
house, all well ceiled, with good large lights,
&-’• I" riday before the second Lord’s Day
ia S: ; 1 (nber, was the regular time for our
annual three days meeting. The good Lord
permitted us to meet. The church bltased
<1 and that His gracious providence had per
rni' ed us to return to the once old conse
crated spot where so many happy souls had so
much rejoiced in by-gone days,and was graci
ou-Jy revived and abundantly blessed. Sinners
w< re alarmed, and turned by the wooing of
Dud’s spirit, to that everlasting rock, whither
the saints in all agts have fled for refuge. It
was the good will of the Lord that the meet
ir.-g be protracted for eight days. 1 was
pleased to lead eight happy souls in the foot
steps of Jesus in the watery grave. We re
ceived two by letter. At the October meet
ir.g we found that the Spirit of our God was
still at work with our people; I had the
pleasure to baptize two prortiising young
men, and received one good brother by letter.
1 arn told that others will follow Jesus next
meeting. The Lord has done great things
for us, whereof we are glad. We know not
how to render unto Him for all His benefits
ur.to us. Rocky Mount has been a flourish
ing country church, and has licensed more
ministers than any country church 1 know of.
God grant it may flourish again. I was as
s.smd in my labors by Revs. W. 11. Stanton,
S. Ilili, and old father Allen, who was for
merly pastor of the church.

A Revival.
We have just had a most glorious time of
refreshing from the presence of the Lord at
Washington Institute, Hancock county. The
meeting was protracted about a week at night,
-<• as not to interfere with the exercises of the
<; chool by day. On last Sabbath we met at
the water to administer baptism. It was,
indeed, n lovely day, but the surroundings to
me were much lovelier. Sixteen were buried
with Christ in baptism, among whom were
my two sons—my only sons —sixteen and
eighteen years of age. No one, except the
Christian parent who has been similiariy
situated, can tell anything of the feelings of
my poor heart. O, what a bright day !
I notice that pastors are wanting in .some
places, advertised in your paper. Rev. Jesse
M. Fulghum has recently graduated at Crozer
Tnpological Seminary. Pie is a member of
Bethleham Church, which I serve; is very
devoted, and has been teaching at Bethlehem
Academy this fall. He desires to devote
himself to the ministry. I drop these lines
hoping that he may find a field of usefulness.

Varieties.
Encouraging reports. Bro. L. C. Tebeau,
missionary in Mercer Association, Southern
Georgia, in his report for quarter ending Sept.
30th, writes: “ Churches supplied, 6; ser
mons preached, 06 ; baptized, 8 ; made 402
religious visits to families.” He states, fur
ther : “Bad, wet days and swimming creeks,
while they have not kept me away, yet these
have kept the people away, and caused me to
lose precious time; as, for instance, 1 rode
101 miles and preached but one sermon. Tfie
larger portion of the work done, will tell
among tne labors at the pastors around whom
1 work.” What a work for one quarter, and
in a section of Georgia, the destitution of
which, the people in most of the State cannot
conceive of, and could hardly believe ! Bro.
Tebeau would now be in the cornfield, or the
store, or doing something to support his wife
and children, were it not that the Domestic
and Indian Mission Board is helping to sup
port him. The Mercer Association, a small
and young body, does something handsome,
but cannot support a man alone.
Bro. I. H. Goss writes me : “ l have
tized 30, and labored in meetings where many
others were dipped. ’
Bro. Stansberry, in Cheorokee Georgia,
writes: “ Lately closed a meeting of 10 days
at Dogwood Valley, resulting in about 20
conversions and 12 baptisms. Another
church which I preach to, had a gracious out
pouring oi’ the Spirit, which resulted in sev
eral conversions, but the converts not yet bap
tized.”
Examples for imitation. A Christian lady
in Upper Georgia sends two dollars, and here
is the way she got it: “I concluded, this
spring, to set apart a favorite hen for the
purpose of raising a little money. I send you
the amount derived from the sale of her chick
ens, but, as she was not very successful with
her broods, I have only two dollars to send.
I hope to be able to do more next year. May
God prosper you in the good cause, is my
sincere prayer. Lizzie 0. King.” Thank
you, my sister, and thank God for the true,
scriptural idea you expressed—“ lam a farm
er’s wife, with limited means, but I think
every one can do something for the spread
of the gospel and the cause of Christ, if they
will but try. 1 felt it my duty to make an
effort, at least.” May God give us thousauds
of such “farmer’s wives.” The honor of
“ doing something for the spread of the gos
pel” can be had, and the pleasure, too, by
persons “of limited means.” Hundreds of
churches, and some with hundreds of mem
bers, have not done as much for the cause of
missions as sister King has, this year.
But here is another chicken case. Bro. S.,
of Antioch church, Fayette county, Ga., and
his wife, set apart a missionary . hen, that
raised eight chickens, for which he got two
dollars, and sent that money to the Flint
River Association. When the chickens were
about the size of partridges, a haw k picked
up one, but carried it only ten or twelve feet
and dropped it. Bro. S. believes if those
chickens had not been dedicated to the Lord,
the hawk would ilct have dropped that one.
This same brother set apart a patch of cotton
a year, or two years ago, for his mission con
tribution. While the whole country round
was dry, very dry, it rained finely one day
on his plantation, and he made more than any
of his neighbors. He received this as a spe
cial providence, and enlarged or doubled his
missionary patch. Was he not right in do
ing so ?
A word with the brethren and sisters of
Flint River Association. Brethren—minis
ters and all—and sisters, let me call your at
tention to the cotton and chicken case of S.
He is rather a young Christian, in your own
Association, and in these two examples of his
missionary spirit aud action, you have a good
illustration of how easily you can raise the
thousand dollars you are expected to raise
for brethren Compere and Baker, the two

missionaries of the Flint River Association in
the Indian nation.
There are five hundred sisters in the Asso
ciation who can set apart a hen, or the pro
ceeds of butter from one cow, or, like the
good ladies in Butts county, that Bro. McMi
chael told me about, get their husbands to
plough them a little cotton patch,and they can
average two dollars, as Bro. S. and sister K.
did, and that makes a thousand dollars. Then
the brethren can raise another, so that next
year you will have the money to pay in ad
vance, or fast as the work is done.
This can be done. Will it be done ? Now,
as the minister said in his marriage cere
mony, “ all that help hold up your right
hands.” No; write me, at Jonesboro, Ga.,
and let me know ; and if you desire to have
me visit you, and help you, let me know. I
will come and preach, and tell you how easily
you can do this blessed work.
Brethren of Bethel Association, at-
tention: Will you all remember Bro.
Hogue in your pockets, before you go
to Lumpkin ? I have received letters
from him, that saddened my heart and
made me rejoice too ; but I can’t write now.
Let us meet together, as many as can at the
ministers’ and deacons’ meeting at Eiim, Fri
day before the fifth Sunday in this month —a
week before our Association—and pray and
talk about the Indian mission, as well as all
missions. 1 hope delegates wili not go to the
Association till a collection has been taken in
their churches. It is useless, it is time lost,
to go without doing something. I can not
imagine what the Anti-missionaries have As
sociations for. No use for such meetings,
except to combiue efforts for the spread of the
gospel. W. N. Chaudoin.
From Rev. T. C. Teasdale, D.D.
Will you allow me space in your excellent
paper to return my thanks to Dr. Mclntosh,
for his kind notice, in a recent number of the
Index and Baptist, of my labors as Corres
ponding -Secretary of the Sunday School
Board? His caret ;8 the more grateful be
cause, as President of a co ordinate Board, he
understands the arduous duties to be perform
ed, and the difficulties and trials to be en
countered in their accomplishment, and be
cause everyone knows that when he writes in
that style, it is from a full and sincere heart.
His kindness is not only very highly appre
ciated, but it is also warmly reciprocated.
May the Lord bleS3 him !
1 have entered upon my new work with
encouraging success. I held a meeting of
eighteen days continuance recently, at Mor
ristown, E. Tenn., which was greatly blessed,
and I have just commenced a meeting at this
place to be continued, God willing, some two
weeks. After closing my labors here, I ex
pect to attend the Arkausas Baptist State
Convention and deliver two lectures before
the Ministers’ Institute, in connection with the
meeting of the Convention. On the 15th of
November 1 have agreed to be in New Or
leans, to assist Dr. J. M. Lewis in a meeting
in the First Church. Pray for our success in
that wicked city, so greatly given to idolatry !
Beyond that meeting, my plans for the future
have not been definitely arranged. I have
desired to hold myself aloof from positive
engagements too far ahead, so that 1 might
follow the leadings of Providence as they may
be developed in my pathway. Up to the
15th of November my address will be Col
umbus, Miss; afterwards, for some three
weeks, letters addressed to me, care Rev. Dr.
J. M. Lewis, New Orleans, La., will reach
me ; then afterwards again, Columbus, Miss.
The General Association of East Teunessee,
which I had the happiness to attend, was a
meeting of great interest. It met on the 7th
inst. at Knoxville, and the number of messen
gers was nearly two hundred. A wonderful
change for the better has been wrought
amongst the Baptists of East Tennessee dur
ing the last eighteen months. God be thanked.

The True Georgian of 23rd inst., says:
“Rev. Mr. Spalding preached last night, at
the Second Baptist church, to a large congre

Planting on a Large Scale. —Col. Lock
ett, of South-Western Georgia, planted in
cotton, this year, 6,500 acres, and in grain
3,500, employing 260 hands. Estimated
value of crop SIBO,OOO.
Trade dull this week, compared to that of
last week. Beat prices paid for cotton on
Tuesday, 16 cents. Bacon has an up
ward tendency, and sell by the ear-load at 88
to 90 cents. Stocks, of all kinds, equal to
the demand.
500—300 — 150. —Are there not five
hundred Baptists in Georgia who will give
thirty cents each, at once , towards buying the

High School, or the Seminary at Greenville;
or, three hundred to give fifty cents; or, one
hundred and fifty to give one dollar each 1 ?
Without multiplying words on the subject,
send on the money. A thing so easy should
be done without delay. Early respondents
bad better accept the dollar proposition.
The name of Hon. Jno. T. Clarke, of Ran

On Friday last, we had the pleasure of a
call from Mr. Frank B. Ticknor, editor of the

Magnolia. —At the request of Bro. Stocks,
we have the following from Rev. J. A. Pres
ton, of Greenesboro : “ Judge Stocks asks
me to say to you, in answer to your inquiries
of him in regard to propagating the magnolia,
that the seeds germinate readily if planted in
a rich, damp soil, covered very shallow. He
thinks the sooner planted after taken from
the burr, the better. Plant in the fall. Will
do to transplant any time between September
and April. Keep damp soil about them. Best
to transplant in fall. Yours, truly,
J. A. Preston.”
Our obituary column gives sad evidence of
mortality among our readers. In the list are
the names of some whom we numbered as
our warmest and truest personal friends. We
can but call to mind the kindness which we
received from that intelligent Christian sister
whose name we give, at her own house in
Alexandria, Va. Deeply and sincerely do
we sympathize with our beloved brother
Gwin, of whose affectionate mother we now
write. She is now among the sainted ones.
May we all meet her w r ith her blessed Lord.
Personals. —Rev. N. A. Baily having re
signed the pastorate of the Albany Baptist
church, is now open to correspondence with
reference to future service. Bro. B. is one
of our active, earnest and successful minis
ters. The Albany church, of which he was
pastor lor several years, will not suffer, by a
comparison with other churches, in point of
intelligence and efficiency. Deacon D. H.
Silcox, our old friend and - brother, now, as
ever, faithful and true, of the First Baptist
church, Charleston, S. C., was with us on
Monday, greatly to our satisfaction. He was
in deep sorrow, however, on account of the
recent death of the companion of his mature
life. She was called to her heavenly reward
about two weeks ago. Bro. Silcox settled in
Charleston in 1830, but conducted business
in Augusta during the years of 1837, ’3B and
’39, and early in 1840 returned to Charles
ton, where he has remained to date. Bro. S.
is a large contributor—perhaps the largest—
to the support of the First church, as well as
a liberal patron of all other good causes.
Elders Moore and Mayfield were with us on
Tuesday. Rev. T. C. Boykin has removed
from Montevallo to Columbiana. His corres
pondents will note the change in his address.

Authors’ Judgment of their own Work.
There is no greater error than the popular
one which attributes to authors an incapacity
to determine the comparative merits of their
own works. Between themselves and others,
their judgments may well be taken with great
reserve ; but if a writer is also a reader, and
a man of anything like liberal culture, he
is usually the best judge of the comparative
excellence of the work he has done. He
alone knows the labor, the fire, the clear
purged vision with which he has wrought.
An author will sometimes perversely insist
that a piece which has been condemned by
the public is his best; but he does not think
so any more than a mother really thinks her
half-witted child is “ the brightest of the
family.” A book is now preparing which is
to give what each American poet considers
his best verses, and it will probably Lea bet
ter collection than the best critic could have
made. —“ The Pike Poetry ,” in Galaxy for
November.
Tbe Chicago Standard.
We cheerfully place before the readers of
the Index and Baptist, the following circular
and bespeak, so far as we can, attention to
what it sets forth :
The terrible fire in Chicago has destroyed
all our printing material and presses, as well
as all the newspaper offices in the city. We
had the good fortune to save the Standard
subscription list and account books—all be
sides is in ashes. The accumulations ofyears
has been swept away in a night. The loss is
great, but we expect very soon to resume the
publication of the Standard, probably next
week. In these circumstances we avail our
selves of that fraternal good will among our
brethren of the press, of which we feel entirely
sure, in asking them to state these facts for
the information of our friends. We take
thi3 opportunity to remind our subscribers
of the pressing need of immediate payment
on the part of any in arrears. Any not in
arrears disposed to help the Standard and the
cause it represents are assurad that such help
at this time, will be gratefully received.
Every thing necessary to print the Standard
must be purchased anew, while at the same
time our own resources are buried in the
ruins caused by the terrible fire. Under these
circumstances we trust we shall not appeal to
friends in vain. The office of the Standard
will be, for the present, at 13 Harmon Court.

Emperor Napoleon regards the present
government weak, and inadequate to the
wants of France Wnile Prince Napoleon
was on his way to Marseilles, the other day,
the Valence people gathered around the rail
way train and demanded his surrender into
their hands. Being refused, they vented their
hatred in hisses, yells and threats The
Pope has almost determined to quit Rome,
says a late dispatch,
Who Wants a Library.
I offer two hundred and fifty volumes at fifty cents a
volume— less than the cost of binding ! Many of these
books are very rare and valuable, and cannot be ob
tained elsewhere for either love or money, as they are
out of print.
I would suggest to the friends of Penfield, as the
Library of Mercer University has been (or will be) re
moved from that town, the propriety of purchasing the
above-offered Library as the nucleus of a Library for
the High School there to be established. There are in
it about 50 volumes of Philosophical and Classical
works, 84 volumes of bound periodicals, American and
English, (very rare,) with dates extending as far back
as 1791, and upwards of 50 volumes of Profane and
Sacred History! A rare chance for a cheap Lihrary 1
I send a list of the books to Col. J. J. Toon, Atlanta,
who is authorized to sell them and pay himself for this
notice out of the proceeds of sale. Apply to him.

ROBERT LEE JOHN3TON, son of F. W. and Sarah

tion, September Cth, 1871, in the seventh year of his
age. The day before he died, he sang 30 sweetly the
song, “ When I can Read my Title Clear,” etc., that
we can but trust he is now singing with the angels
around thb throne, ascribing praises to Him that sit
teth thereon and dwelleth in “ mansions in the skies.”
Farewell, little Bob 1 May father, mother, brothers

MRS. ELIZABETH TOWERS, relict of Isaac Tow
ers, deceased, died suddenly, at her residence, in De-
Kalb connty, on the 18th of April, in her 87th year.
She had been a consistent member of the Baptist
church about 40 years. The Bible was her constant
companion when she was able to read. She trusted in
the promises of God for her future happiness. Those
present scarcely knew she was sick, when Jesus took
her to that rest prepared for the people of God, Her
last words were, “ meet me in heaven.”
“Gone to the land, upon whose blissful shore
There rests no shadow, falls no stain;
Where those who meet shall part no more,
And those long parted meet again.”
Her Daughter.
D. T. VINCENT departed this life on the morning of
the 6th inst., at his residence at Harpersvilie, Shelby
county, Ala., aged about 40 years. Bro. Vincent was
born in Maryland, but removed, while quite young, to
Planterville, Perry couuty, Ala., where he professed
religion and joined the Baptist church. Soon after
this, he married Miss Alabama, daughter of Davis and
Sarah McGee—worthy and respected citizens of that
community' After his marriage, some years, he re
moved to Harpersvilie, where he was a successtul mer
chant till death removed him, after a lingering and
painful illness, from the business nnd walks of life.
Our brother left a devoted companion and three or
phaned children. In the death of Bro. Vincent, the
church has lost a useful member, the community a good
citizen, and the family, their best earthly stay.’

MRS. MARTHA PETEET.—Died, on the 14th of
October, of congestive chill, in the 69th year of her age
Mrs. Martha I’eteet. She was baptized by Elder Wm.
H. Stokes, and united wist) the church at Washington,
Wilkes county. She subsequently removed to Morgan
county and united with the Baptist church at Antioch,
the relation sustained at the time of her death. She
was one of those good mothers in Israel who are always
found at the house of God, ever ready to encourage the
pastor in every good word and work. She felt a deep
and abiding interest for the salvation of sinners, aud
especially for those of her own household. The writer
can never forget her earnest entreaties repeatedly made
to himself and others for the remembrance of those she
so foudly loved, at a Throne of Grace. May her prayers
be abundantly answered, and in the last great day may
she greet every child by name and welcome them to the
home of the blessed, is the sincere prayer of one who
loved her devotedly. E. J.
LITTLE ROBIE HESTER—gone to heaven I Little
Robie. son of Capt. G. B. and Mrs. Hester, of
Boggy Depot, Choctaw Nation, aged 4 years and about
eight months. His father writes: “ Our precious little
Robie is gone 1 Oh, how our hearts bleed 1 It was so
hard to see him diet lie was so bright and full of en
ergy, and so interesting! We can hardly realize that
he Is gone. His little playthings, his pony and saddle,
—all remind us of him. We try to be resigned. We
believe he is a lit tie aDgel now, and happy. We know
our Heavenly Father doeth all thiDgs well. He was
sick only three days ; died on the 22nd Sept., 1871. He
suffered a great deal, but after his death,he looked mere
like he had fallen int.i a sweet sleep. I know you can
sympathize with us, for you have gone through the same
deep waters more than once ” Truly do I sympathize
with you, dear friends ; yet we know “it is well with
the child.” Lee it be well with us, and with the chil
dren God has yet spared us; and let us meet our treas
ures who have gone, on the bright shining shore
where there is no sorrow and no death.
J. S. Morrow.
LEWIS PILCHER departed this life on the 29th of
June, 1871. Bro. Pilcher united with the Baptist church
at the Mineral Springs, Washington county, Ga., in the
year 1839. In this neighborhood he was born, and,
with but little exception, resided until the day of his
death. Asa citizen, he was well beliked. Iu his own
neighborhood, he was a Samaritan in practice. The
poor, the widow and orphan were ever welcome at his
door, and shared in his hospitalities. Asa Christian,
he was true to his post, ever filling his seat in his
church; uniform and liberal in the support of the same.
He died in the G3rd year of his age, after a long, pro
tracted illness, which he bore with Christian fortitude,
and a resignation to the will of his Heavenly Father,
testifying that through grace he hud a good hope of a
blessed immortality beyond the grave. He has left
behind him a kind and affectionate wife, children,
grand-children, and many relatives and friends to
mourn his loss. The writer can truly say he has been
to me a father, having shared in the liberalities of his
house for several years, and was permitted to sit bj*his
bedside for man; days, nnd to see him breathe his last
with an aching heart. But we trust that our loss is bis
eternal gain. T. R. M,
IN MEMORY OF REV. J. W. DAVID.—Rev. J. W.
David was born in 1794, and died on (he 29th of Aug.,
1871, in the 77th year of his age. Lie embraced the
Christian religion, and joined the Dove’s Creek Baptist
church in 1818, and was ordained and set apart to the
work of the gospel ministry, the 3rd day of November,
1884, by Elders F. Callaway, James Mathews, Phiilip
Mathews, Asa Chandler, P. P. Butler, and Jamts Da
vis. Brother David was an humble, unassuming min
ister of the gospel, seeming, by his appearance, to think
others better than himself, and seemed always willing
to hear, rather than to be heard, when several minis
ters were present at a place of worship at the same
time. lie labored faithfully while in the prime of life,
in his Master’s cause. In his old age, being feeble and
of a modest disposition, be, to some extent, retired
from the public duties of the ministry. He was
a member of Mt. Zi#n church, Muscogee county, Ga.,
at the time of his death, which church he served faith
fully as pastor, two years, while in the prime of life.
He died happy, and expressed that he would soon en
ter int > the full enjoyment of the heavenly rest. He
was interred in the family burying ground, attended
by a large concourse of his weep : ng friends and rela
tives. His funeral was preached by Rev. J. Mercer
Callaway, from the words, “Precious in the sight of
the Lord, is the death of His saints.’’ In his death we
have lost a good and honest man, but our loss is bis
eternal gain. T. D. Fortson, F. J. Johnson, J. N.

IN MEMORIAM-MRS. FRANCES S. CAMPBELL.
—This excellent Christian, wife of Rev. J. H. Camp
bell, of Thomasville, Ga., wa3 called to her reward in
heaven on Monday, the 16th inst. She was a native of
Greene county, in this State, was baptized by Rev. A.
Sherwood in 1826, and was married by the same min
ister in June, 1830. She was the mother of six chil
dren, (one daughter and five sons,) all of whom sur
vive her, and two of whom are preachers of the gospel.
Though naturally extremely diffident, yet her de
portment was dignified, and she possessed great firm
ness of purpose and energy of character, and was faith
ful and efficient in all the relations and duties of life-
It is not too much to claim for her, that she deserved
the commendation bestowed by divine lips on another,
“ She hath done what she could." She bore with
Christian patienoe and resignation, the painful ’afflic
tion of which she was the subject during three and a
half long and wearisome years, and greatly rejoiced
when she was called home to the heavenly rest. Among
her last utterances, in reply to am inquiry by her hus
band, was, “Jesus is near to me" —“and, (she added
for his comfort,) He is Dear to you too." When her
voice had become too weak to join in the songs of Zion,
many of which were sung around her dying bed, she
would frequently repeat the lines in advance of the
singing. She had often expressed the desire to die in
her sleep. This desire Gud was pleased graciously to
fulfill, for she died while asleep, and that as calmly as
"i infant reposing on its mother's bosom. No mortal
band closed her eyes—-God closed them. She loved to
repeat the lines,
“Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep!
From which none ever wakes to weep.”
