    extent of territory. It sustains one mission
ary in its own bounds, at a cost of S4OO to
SSOO. The letters report, if we remember
correctly, over 200 baptisms. But few Sun>
day schools were reported. The members of
this Association are very kind, plain and hos
pitable brethren, and the ministers are pious,
self sacrificing men, whom most of the
churches seem determined to make humble ,
by keeping them poor. But few, even of the
preachers, take the Index abd S. W. Baptist,
or any other religious paper. The assent
blage on Sunday was not as large as we
expected to see. No doubt some .were kept
away by sickness. Many pale faces and
slender forms showed too plainly that chills
had nearly shaken their life out of them.
Bro. G. R. McCall, bishop of Hawkinsville,
preached at 11 a.m. He is an excellent
preacher. At 10 a.m., the writer addressed
the young and the old upon the subject of
Sunday schools, and at 2 p.m., tried to
preach.
Oil Monday, the Moderator received the
sad intelligence that his son, Hilliard, was
dying, and he hurried home. Bro. R. M.
Owen was chosen Moderator, pro tern. The
usual routine of business was passed over
with harmony and fraternal feeling. Per
mission being granted, the writer presented
the claims of Spalding Seminary, and re
ceived the promise of quite a number of
pupils for next year.
111. Death of Henry Hilliard Horne. —
Young Henry Hilliard Horne was born Nov.
14, 1852, and died Oct. Bth 1871. On the
Ist day of Aug., he was received on his
Christian experience, into Harmony church,
in Dooly county, and baptized by the writer,
the following Sabbath. He joined the Good
'femplara in August, and was, at his death, a
member of Spalding Seminary. He left
school quite feeble, hoping, by the kind atten
tion of one of the best of mothers at home,
soon to recover. But the Lord has taken him
away. We trusted he was called to the work
of the ministry, for he was zealous and
showed a willingness to do his whole duty.
Without hesitation, he prayed in prayer meet
ing, even before he was baptized. His school
mates deeply feel his loss, and have agreed
to wear the usual badge of mourning for
thirty days. Bro. and sister Horne, who, a
few days previous, had lost a son-in-law, Bro.
Oliver, one of the best men in Hawkinsville,
have been sorely bereaved. We mourn with
you. This is a world of sorrow. O, for
that world where
“No chilling winds or pois’nous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness aud sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more.”
IV. Rehoboth Association convened on the
13th of October, reelected Dr. B. L. Ross,
Moderator, and the same Cleik. Something
less than 100 baptisms were reported. This
body is numerically small, having about 1,600
members. It is also poor. But in piety, in
telligence and good works, is second to none
in Georgia; yea, more, is second to none in
the South, and, we believe, according to num
bers, is second, in good works, to no Associ
ation in the United States. It gives to Mercer,
in cash and bonds, $1,250; to Orphans’ Home,
in cash and bonds, $1)00; to Southern Bap.
Theo. Sent., $540; to Indian Missions, cash
and bonds, $1,800; to Foreign Missions, for
education of little Cogee Murrow, and for
various other good objects, about SBOO.
Here is over $3 to each member. Moreover,
a more harmonious body is hardly iu exist
ence. All our business is transacted with
the greatest fraternity of feeling.
This body conducts its missions on the
independent plan, but does not oppose the
Boards. We and the Boards are laboring for
the same object— viz : “ to preach the gospel
to every creature.” We had a glorious seas
sion ; ’twill never be forgotteD, We were
honored with the visitation of brethren J.
Wm. Jones, from Virginia; C. M, Irwin,
Agent for Foreign Missions; H.C. HornaJy,
Agent for Mercer; Dr. J. S. Searcy, from
Columbus Association ; R. M. Owen and
others, from the Houston; T. H. Stout and
Poweil, from the Bethel ; and a host of good
brethren from the Friendship Association.
The next session will be held with Thomas

the third Sunday in September.

Hymn Book Economy.
Suppose a church wishes to furnish each
pew with three copies of the Baptist Hymn
Book : such a church will of course buy a
hundred or more copies. Then the cost will
be 95 cents a copy for the pew edition, and
each pew can be furnished for $2.85. Or, it
a church should prefer to have a copy of the
pocket edition, one of the pew edition and
one of the cheap edition in each pew, the
three will cost $2.20. Should a church wish
the cheap edition only, each pew can be sup
plied with three copies for $1.50. Who can
ask hymn books on better terms than these 1
Let all who wish to illustrate the doctrine of
hymn book economy buy the Baptist Hymn
Book. It is useless to think of buying any
other hymn book on terms so favorable.

Mt. Olive Church.
This church was constituted in Fulton
county, near East Point, on th 6 28th October,
by the following presbytery: Elders Wm.
Thames, H. Walker, B. J. Walker, J. G.
Speights, and George R. Moor. Introduc
tory sermon preached by George R. Moor ;
after which, the questions were asked those
wishing to be constituted into a church re
lationship, and Bro. J. Gilbert answered
promptly all the questions for the brethren
desiriug to become a visible church. The
presbytery elected George R. Moor, Mode
rator, and Elder 11. Walker, Clerk. Prayer
by Elder Wm. Thames. Charge to the
church by Elder B. J. Walker, and the Bible
was delivered to the church by Elder J. G.
Speights. The result of four days faithful
labor of the above named brethren; and the
little church, with the kind and hospitable
community, was this: 31 united, 5 willing
aubjects were baptized. The Lord has begun,
and, I trust, will perfect, a glorious work at
Mt. Olive. This church is without a house
of worship, but we believe they will not be
in this condition long; for, at the close of the
services on Sabbath, in quite a short lime,
the church and community subscribed over
three hundred dollars to erect them a house
of worship, that should be dedicated wholly
to the service of the Lord. We affectionately
invite all lovers of truth to aid this little
band of brethren and sisters in building them
a good, substantial and nice house of worship.
Those wishing to aid in the above named eD 1 -
terprise, will please remit the amount to

General Meeting in Friendship Association.
After an Introductory Sermon by G. T.
Wilburn, the General Meeting for the second
district of the Friendship Association met
with Shiloh church, Marion, Oct. 27th, and
was organized by requesting Elder I. B. Deav
ors to act as Chairman, and A. C. Bell, Sec
retary. On motion of Bro. Wilburn, the
names of delegates were enrolled.
The subject of “ Baptist Sabbath Schools
in every church,” was presented for discus
sion, and participated iu brethren Wilburn,
Cawood, Mitchell, Mays, Bell, Weekly, and
others, and then adjourned. Next morning,
the subject of Sabbath schools was further dis
cussed, when, on motion of Bro. Wilburn, it

sociation, to establish in every Baptist church
a Baptist Sabbath school. Qn motion, took
up the question referred to this meeting,
“Are there any circumstances under which
one called to the ministry may abandon the
work and engage in secular business ?” which
was thoroughly discussed by brethren Ca
wood, Wilburn, Wells, Bell, Mays and others,
when a recess was taken till o’clock. At 11,
we listened to a very interesting and instruc
tive sermon by Elder W. A. Mitchell, of the
Columbus Association, upon the “Tempta
tion of Christ.” In the afternoon, it was
resolved, that it is the sense of this body,
that all ministers, not physically disabled,
should not abandon the preaching of the
Word for secular business. The following
subjects lor essays, at the next General Meet
ing, were reported and adopted ; 1. “ What is
Baptism, as taught in the New Testament?”
Elder G. F. Cooper. 2. “ What is the im
port of the expression, Falling from Grace,
as used in the New Testament?” Elder G. T.
Wilburn. For oral discussion, 1. Is Predes
tination taught in the New Testament ? 2.
What is the meaning of the expression in
John iii: 5, Born of Water and of the Spirit?
3. Have churches the right to make distinc
tion between the white and the colored mem
bership? 4. What relation does the African
Association bear to the Friendship Associa
tion by reason of the correspondence between
those two bodies? Bro. G. T. Wilburn, who
was appointed at a previous meeting, read a
very able essay on “ Restricted Commun
ion,” of which he was unanimously requested
to furnish the Index and Baptist a copy for
publication. Elder J. H. Cawood was ap
pointed to preach the Introductory sermon at
the next General Meeting, and Eider G. F.
Cooper, alternate. On motion, the meeting
adjourned.

Again are we called to mourn the departure,
from earth, of dear friends. 'Painful are these
bereavements. The Nashville Union & American,
of the Ist inst., brought to us the following sad
news:
Death of an Estimable Lady. —We chron
icle the death, this morning, of Mrs. Mary Ann
Morton Howell, wife of the Tate Rev. Dr. R. B. C.
Howell, for a series of years the beloved pastor of
the First Baptist church iu this city. Mrs. Howell
died yesterday evening at 2 o’clock after a short
illness. The deceased was born in Norfolk, Va-,
April 25,1808, and was, consequently, at the time
of her death, in the 63rd year of her age. She
removed to Nashville about the close of the year
1834, and with but an interval of a few years, has
been a resident since that time. She united with
the Baptist church over forty years ago, and has
continued to be an intelligent, useful, active
Christian. Mrs. Howell leaves eight children to
mourn her loss, six of whom were at her bedside
when she died. One of her children resides in
Alabama and another in Texas. Her death will
he deeply regretted by a large circle of friends to
whom she was closely attached.
Death of Harry Bang. —We deeply regret to
hear of the death of Harry Bang, son of our
worthy friend, W. F. Bang, Esq., which distress
ing event transpired yesterday morning at his
father’s residence in this vicinity. The deceased
was an intelligent and promising youth, in the
17th year of his age. The family of Mr. Bang,
lately so sadly afflicted by the hand of death, have
the sympathies of the entire community in this
truly distressing bereavement.

“Shall children be sent away from home
to be educated,’? Isa question which admits
of strong arguments on both sides. Able
waiters and experienced teachers take the
ground, that “ the natural place for children
is home, and their best society, that of their
parents, and brothers and sisters. The
teacher of a boarding school has the double
office of teacher and parent, and however well
he may fill the former, it is impossible for
him to fill the latter, to the perfection which
the parent can.”
Sherwood Campbell. —We learned, on Tues
day last, from a Conductor who left Montgomery
for this city on Monday evening, that Mr. Sher
wood Campbell, son of our aged brother, Rev. J. H.
Campbell, was accidently killed just before his
train left. From the Advertiser & Mail, of the
7th, we clip the following with reference to the
above: At a political demonstration, “ some old
anvils that had been frequently used, and which
had caused much fear in this community, were
brought upon the ground, and prepared for use
as cannon. One of these, filled with powder by
the negro in charge, was touched off, and explo
ded, breaking into several large pieces, and with
the most dreadful results. Mr. S. S. Campbell,
ticket agent at the Western Railroad, was crossing
from McDonald’s clothing store to the Telegraph
corner. He was about half way.between the two
places. A large piece of the iron struck hun
back of the left ear, mashing in that side of his
face and head. He sank upon the crossing, lived
but a few hours only, and was not conscious a
moment after he was struck.” Two good citizens
killed instantly, and two others dangerously
wounded.
Thanksgiving Day.
Washington, D. C., October 28.
By the President of the United Slates — Proc~-
tarnation:
The progress of the seasons has again ena
bled the husbandman to garner the fruit of
his successful toil. Industry has been gen
erally well rewarded. We are at peace with
all nations. Tranquility, with a few excep
tions, prevails at home. Within the past
year we have, in the main, been free from
the ills which elsewhere has affected our kind.
If some of us have had calamities, there
should be occasion for sympathy with the
sufferers, resignation on their part to the will
of the Most High, rejoiciDg to the many who
have been more favored. I therefore recom
mend that Thursday, the thirtieth day of
November next, the people meet in their re
spective places of worship and there make
the usual acknowledgments to Almighty God
for the blessings He ha3 conferred upon them,
their merciful exemption from evils, and in
voke His protection and kindness for their
less fortunate brethren, whom, in His wis
dom, He deemed it best to chastise.

Governor’s Message.
On the 4th instant, Hon. Benjamin Conley,
acting Governor, transmitted his first message
to the Georgia Legislature. It is, in sub
stance, as follows:
The unexpected resignation of Gov. Bul
lock, devolves upon me the exercise of the
functions of the Executive department. 1
enter upon its duties with the fixed purpose
to do whatever I can to promote peace, har
mony and good will among our people, and
advance the best interests of the State. While
l have been, and am, a consistent Republican,
I shall not permit politics to influence me in
the discharge of my duties. We have had
enough of wrangling and strife, crimination
and recrimination. The country ueeds re
pose, which can never be promoted by foment
ing political strife. Experience demonstrates
that nothing has been gained to the South by
the adoption of a defiant course, while the
power rests with the Government, backed by
a vast majority of the people of the Union,
it is desired, therefore, that every department
of the State government shall so shape its
action as to furnish no reason for a declara
tion of martial law, or any further reconstruc
tion. If the people of the South will be law
abiding, and lay aside all extreme measures,
the day is not far distant when the Congress
will proclaim universal amnesty, and the full
measure of citizenship to all the people. A
consummation devoutly to be hoped for.
finances.
The late unfortunate war left our people
greatly impoverished, and much discouraged.
They have, however, struggled with an energy
and zeal highly commendable. Gratifying
signs of returning prosperity are to be seen
on every hand. But the heavy burdens of
the Government are very depressing. Taxes
are high, while the property is less than be
fore the war. Under these circumstances, a
most rigid economy should be practiced in
the administration of the affairs of the State,
to the end that taxation may be reduced, and
burdens under wh : ch our people groan, re
moved. To this end it is my fixed purpose
to curtail all unnecessary expenses connected
with my department. I can sanction no leg
islation which looks to wasteful or unneces
sary expenditure of the people’s money. We
must do justice to the tax payers, and restore
confidence in the Government. lam unable
to furnish a correct statement of the public
debt, or the disposition made of the State
bonds. Prompt measures will be taken to
a thorough investigation of these important
matters.
THE EXECUTION OF THE LAWS.
Violations of the law have been alarmingly
prevalent in this State ; and so long as popu
lar sentiment is not decided upon this ques
tion, w’e can expect but little improvement.
It therefore becomes every department of
government to take a firm and decided stand
in favor of law and order. The General As
sembly should enact good and wholesome laws
and the courts enforce them with decision and
energy. When a court and jury have inves
tigated a case calmly, and the law has been
administered impartially, the case must be
an extreme one, having features of mitigation
that absolutely call for executive action before I
will arrest the execution of the criminal laws.
Thus will much be done to allay apprehension,
to restore confidence among our people, se
cure immigration, the influx of capital, the
development of the resources of the State,
and remove all pretext for Federal interfer
ence in our local affairs.
POPULAR EDUCATION.
The law providing for public schools, in
the main, meets my hearty approval. Repub
lican institutions rest upon the virtue and in
telligence of the people, and the general dif
fusion of knowledge is a patriotic duty.
While there should be equal justice done in
the distribution of the public funds for the
education of the children of both races, our
schools should be separate. We can have no
mixed school. A liberal endowment to our
State University recommended. It was the
intention of our fathers to establish and main
tain a first class institution, and it is a matter
of deep regret that the people of Georgia
have so long failed to carry out, in all its mu
nificence and magnitude, this grand scheme of
those wise and great men who laid the foun>
dations of our government. Under our pre
sent system, it becomes a matter of necessity
that we develop, to the highest extent, the
minds of our sons and daughters. It is not
enough that we have, as in the past, a re
spectable institution, where the branches con
nected with the old College curriculum are
taught. We need not only educated lawyers,
doctors and divines, but educated farmers and
mechanics. Our Georgia Institution should
be made competent to all this development.
A system should be established affording
board to the students at the lowest possible
rate, and in all the. practical departments, not
taught in the other Colleges of the State, tui
tion should be made free, so as to enable the
sons of the poor, who have intellect and ca
pacity, to enjoy all advantages necessary to
fit them for a high degree of usefulness.
There is no way in which a half or a million
of dollars could be invested which would re
dound so much to the future glory, grandeur
and greatness of our noble old State. If the
Legislature shall think proper thus to endow
the State University, it would then be good
policy to turn over to the State Agricultural
Society the land scrip donated by Congress,
to endow an Agricultural College at Milledge-
ville, with a branch at Dahlonega, where all
that pertains to a practical agricultural eduv
cation may be obtained by the youth of our
State. Justice demands an endowment of
the Atlanta University for the colored popu
lation of our State, which will be sufficient to
provide for their wants at their present stage
of advancement, and thus forever settle a
vexed question, which would become a trou
blesome one should they seek admittance into
the State University, and carry out the good
understanding between the two races, that,
not only their schools, but their colleges, are
to be kept perpetually separate and distinct
from each other.
THE STATE DEBT.
The reports of the Comptroller General
and Treasurer will be published at an early
day, and will doubtless give a correct state
ment of the present indebtedness of the State.
While I regret our extended liabilities, and
recommend great caution upon this subject
in future, I cannot too strongly impress upon
you the importance of maintaining the public
faith inviolate. Whatever our burdens, whe
ther wisely or unwisely incurred, whatever
our misfortunes or depressed condition, never
let it be said that Georgia has violated her
plighted faith or failed to regard as sacred all
her legal and moral obligations.

LITTLE WILLIE MARTIN died of Erysipelas, Oct.
25th, aged 29 weeks. The sufferings of the little one
were intense; but, thank Chid, he is now a shining an
gel. Willie was bis mother’s idol; but being too pure
for earth, God has taken him h line. Rest with God in -
heaven, little darling, though ’tie hard to give thee up.
Precious jewel, thou art gone from thy mother’s yearn
ing arms. Thou art now resting on that beautiful,
shiuing shore. May father, mother, brothers and sis
ters, all meet thee at last, to part no more. Farewell,
sweet babe. Motdbb.
ELIZA. JULIA ANDREWS.—Died, on the 10th day
of August, 1871, near Marietta, Ga., little Eliza Julia,
aged one year and thirteen days, only daughter of Dr.
C. C. and Julia E. Andrew's. Our kind Heavenly
Father has, in His providence, seen proper to take from
this world, ahd to transplant in that bright and happy
one above, one af the sweetest and brightest of earth’s
little gems. It was remarkable, that one so young
should be possessed, to such an eminent degree, a spirit
of obedience. To see her, was to love her. Now that
she has crossed the river of death, and entered the
realms of eternal bliss, thereby bidding us to live a
holier and more consistent Christian life, that when we
are called, we, too, may enter in and forever enjoy the
pleasures of the Celestial City. A Relative.
MAJ. DANIEL N. PITTMAN.—The following trib
ute of respect, to the memory of Maj. Daniel N. Pitt
man, who died at his residence in DeKalb county, Ga.>
on the 18th day of August last, was written by Rev.
Marshall G. Jenkins, of Texas, a nephew of the de
ceased, to his brother in this State, it was not written
for the public eye; but, at the request of the recipient,
we give it to our readers as an appropriate obituary of
the honored dead, who had for many years been a con
sistent member of the Baptist church, aud had well
nigh reached his four score years:
Dear Brother ; I have just received your letter da
ted sometime in August. I was not much surprised to
hear of uncle Daniel’s death. Still, I can hardly realize
the fact that he is dead. He lived to a great age—the
reward of a virtuous life. His memory will ever be
sacred to me. He was a man whose generous, sympa
thetic, noble heart won for him the respect not only of
the wise and distinguished of the State, but, in the
death of Daniel N. Pittman, men of poverty, misfor
tune, affliction and want, know that they have lost a
true friend. At his hospitable home, the sons and
daughters of misfortune and misery found a hearty wel
come. If they were hungry, he fed them ; if naked, he
clothed them; and, if sick, he nursed them. A tale of
the widow’s misfortunes and wants, brought to his
eyes tears of sorrow. His tongue, his heart, his hands
were at once engaged for her relief. It is written]:
“ Blessed is he that considereth the poor. The Lord
will preserve him and keep him alive, and he shall be
blessed upon the earth.” Also, “The Lord will
strengthen him upon the bed of languishing. Thou
will make all his bed in his sickness.” Truly, these
preciouß promises have been literally verified in the life
and death ot dear uncle Daniel. He has been preserved
amidst the vicissitudes of his long and eventful life.
Through the devastations of war, in youth, iu man
hood and in old age, God’s preserving care was over
him. He has indeed been blessed with the conscious
ness of a well-spent life. Blessed with the knowledge
of having done good in his day and generation ; blessed
with a good and agreeable companion; blessed with
intelligent and honorable descendants; blessed with a
pleasant review of a whole life time of good and char
itable deeds. Truly, “the end of such a man is peace.”
I would like to have been present as his end drew
near. Angels were there—mother was there—Jesus
was there. I know it! But he and the host—the
“shiniDg host,” are now gone above. Shall-we have
them with us? Our time will come at last. Let us be
ready doing good. Jesus will then meet us. Kindred
spirits will meet us. God has plucked two tender buds
from your family circle. They did not bloom here,
but they have bloomed up there. Strive to meet them.
Let us love Jesus, and we shall all meet iust over the
river. I would offer my heartfelt condolence to dear
aunt Asenath, (relict of deceased.) God bless her in
her widowhood. I used to hear her sing,
“ Soon the joyful news will come,
Child, your Father calls, come home.” *
Tell her, for me, that I think often, now, of the pleas
ant scenes of the past, while at her bouse. Tears come
in my eyes. I close. M. G. Jenkins.
Texana, Texas, Sept. 28, 1871.

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 Penfieid, 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 ot a Library for
the High School there to be established. There are in
it about 50 volumes of Philosophical and Classical
works, 34 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 I A rare chance for a cheap Library !
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.
