Late in the afternoon we reached Chehaw, the port of entry for Tuskegee, where we found the “Ku Klux,” a neat little engine of the narrow gauge persuasion, ready to convey us to the latter place. Here, also, we found a bevy of bright, laughing and frolicsome school girls, who had come down for the sake of the ride. We entered, for the first time, the narrow gauge cars, a cross between the Broadway omnibus and the ordinary steam car, and after pattering away for twenty minutes, we were set down at the depot, in the suburb of Tuskegee. Five miles of nar row gauge may do very well, but for a long ride at lightning speed, give me the broad gauge, the broader the better. Query : Did the Ku Klux committee find our little engine at Chehaw ? If so, the poor little thing may be placed under martial law, lest it should scald, burn or explode some of the “truly . loll.” Here we found a carriage in waiting, and wo were conveyed to the hospitable mansion of sister Hand. The evening lesson read, and the evening prayer breathed into the ear of the All-present One, and then “sleep, downy sleep,” came to close our eyes and lock our senses in unconscious rest. Sabbath morning came, the sun shot up from the East, bright and gorgeous, but was soon overcast with elouds, indicating that the rain-king was about to assume the ascendency. At eleven o’clock, a moderate-sized congregation assem bled, when the writer fulfilled the living re quest of brother Joseph R. Hand by preach ing his funeral 9ermon, he having passed away since that request was made. The text was found in Psalms xxxvii: 37. At night preach ed again from Heb. xi: 4. The sexton got . ahead of time, the preicher got ahead of the congregation, and the rain was ahead of all. The church here hive secured the services of brother Columbus Smith, who is one of our most effective preachers, and the brethren are certainly fortunate in their selection. God bless both preaches and people. But, reader, 1 saw that feeble, languid yawn, and so, adieu. 11. C. 11. Assoclational Varieties. The last Association that meets, i xcept one at the same time, and the last one 1 attended, was the Bethel, which met at Lumpkin, Stew art county, Ga., on Saturday before the Ist Sunday in November, 1871. Lumpkin is 22 miles from the nearest railroad point, and about as many hills from Cuthbert, and still there was a good delegation, but not many visitors. Bishop W. L. Craw'ford and his alternate failing to arrive in time, Bishop Bailey preached the introductory, a well de livered and timely discourse. The Bethel appreciates good officers, and hence don’t change often, and this time elected Muse and Stout, Moderator and Clerk. The financial showing,—all the circum stances considered, —was encouraging. Some churches had been much strengthened by re vivals. Sunday school and prayer meeting reports were short. The union, or general meeting, reports were shorter. The mission ary sermon the shortest—or longest. The striking features of the meeting, in brief, were: The warm* earnest reception and en tertainment of the body by Lumpkin church, town and community ; the sweet harmony ; the increase of Foreign Mission funds sent up; the large contribution of the Summer hill Sunday school; the large attendance at the Sunday school meeting by the people ; the good singing on the occasion ; the good contribution made by the children to mis sions, (Miss T. collected $8.75;) and the res olution to meet next year on Wednesday, in stead of Saturday. Bro. Harris, a good working brother near by, a delegate from his church, had made his arrangements to enter tain a large number of delegates, but a day or two before the Association convened, he died went to associate with “ the spirits of just men made perfect.’ 4 “In such an hour as ye think not.” This “ deponent” will likely remember for a long time, the moist, or juicy trip from Cuthbert to Lumpkin—sitting just so as to get the drippings from two umbrellas—the pleasant company, the singing, conversation, with an occasional anecdote, or little reparte, that would nearly make us laugh aloud some times. The aged—l beg pardon, I mean the venerable—Moderator, the grave Agent of the Foreign Board, and austere (?) Bishop of Albany, all would at times relax the muscles of their faces in unison with the audible smiles of the writer and the good Deacon, who was our Jehu upon the occasion. Just here, let me say,—for it is “ worthy mention,” —there are not many men in this world good for as many things as Deacon T. IT. Willingham, while in many things he excels, and I could tell what some of them are. 1 have only time now to say, that I hardly knew the “ Bethel Female College,” as the name now is, instead of “ Baptist Female College of South-Western Georgia.” Quite a change in name, but not so much as in the recent change in the appearance of the build inge, and the fence. I have only seen one Female College in Georgia as “ beautiful for situation” as this one, and that one is not. But, while the location could hardly be ex celled, the building now presents a magnifi cent appearance. But the interior! Well, enough to say Prof. Seals and lady, Prof. Parsons, and the accomplished Miss Georgia Fort, are inside, as the Faculty. But 1 will quit. Some may think I am hired to say this. But 1 say it from love, and on my own re sponsibility. W. N. Chaudoin. Eov. 28 th, 1871. Jftiaqllaneoua Department. J. J. TOON, EDITOR & PROPRIETOR.

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA. GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7,1871. “Our Furlough,” by J. R. K., on our fourth page this week, should have been credited to the Examiner <6 Chronicle , of New York. Compositor’s omission. The Legislature of Georgia will adjourn on Saturday to assemble again on the 17th of January, at which time the Governor, to fill Bullock’s unexpired term is to be installed. R. L. Rhodes, Esq., has been appointed General Freight Agent and Master of Trans portation on the Georgia R. R. So says the Rutledge Reporter. Bro. Murrow has been for a week on a hasty visit to friends in Greenesboro and a few other points. Inclement weather inter fered with his plans, and prevented him from extending his visit. Do not permit your animals to be worn out in dragging a clumsy iron plow, when you can save half their strength, and do ter work, by using a Collins Steel Plow. The Atlanta Journal is the title of a news paper published by Wm. F. Clark and edited by J. S. Peterson. The first number is a very creditable one, and gives promise of fu ture usefulness.

The Demo cracy of Georgia met in this city on Wed nesday and nominated. Hon. J. M. Smith, of Muscogee, for Governor. The nomination was made by acclamation. Thirty Thousand Dollars invested an nually by Georgia Baptists in sustaining their own denominational paper would yield largely to our enterprises and pastors. Will pastors ever realize the full importance and magni tude of their work ? Then and Now.—Readers of the I. & 8., may not know that more money is required now for setting the type of the paper every in 1805 or 1860, when provisions and las-or, generally, were from 25 to 50 pier cent higher than at present. Mcßride’s boys are experts at packing the table an j pocket cutlery which they repeat edly sell in large variety. Such goods, im ported direct from the makers, can be sold at a profit for less money than domestic goods, we are told. The weather went into a wonderful pro cess of cooling on Monday last, and continued to cool so rapidly that mercury was greatly depressed by Tuesday morning—descended towards 0 with regular speed—was finally checked at 7 a.m., at 18°. Good Living. —After securing all needful supplies for the cook, be sure to buy, for your wife and daughters, a copy of Mrs. Hill’s “Housekeeping Made Easy.” It will greatly aid in the enjoyment of the articles bought and extend the time for another investment. Both important considerations. About 70 persons- have united with the First Baptist church, Nashville, as the fruit mainly of Evangelist Earle’s recent visit. Several have also joined the Central and Edgefield Baptist churches. Meetings of marked interest ha/e been conducted by Mr. Earle at Lebanon and Murfreesboro tince he left Nashville. Public Schools. The examination of teachers for the public schools of Atlanta, took place on Wednesday and Thursday, 6th and 7th inst.. For the 27 positions, there are over one hundred applicants. The examina tion was conducted with great system, and was very searching, giving assurance that the Atlanta schools will be under the control of the most competent of teachers. Change of Schedule. —The Stone Moun tain accommodation train now leaves the city at 5:30 p.m., instead of 5:15, as heretofore. Maj. E. Werner, the Company’s gentle manly and accomplished agent at this point, notifies those who reside along the line of road, that the change is for their benefit, and expresses the hope that the accommodation train will be properly patronized by them. Municipal Election. —The election for Mayor and Aldermen, of Atlanta, passed off quietly, on Wednesday. The entire Demo cratic ticket was elected by an average ma jority of nearly 2,000. The following gen tlemen constitute the new officers: J. H. James, Mayor; Wells, Castleberry, Roach, Hammock, Morris, Grant, Wilson, Hill, Fowler, Leyden, Morris, Mayes, Mitchell and Farrar, Councilmen. Our Royal Guest, Duke Alexis, is the fourth son of the Alexander, the present Czar of Russia. The young Duke is now, or will soon be, in his 22nd year, “ is about six feet high, has blue eyes, brown hair and light side whiskers.” The Rural New Yorker of the 2nd contains the portraits of Alexis and his father and mother.

N. Yorker. Toothpicks. —The town of Canton, Maine, is where most of the wooden toothpicks and lamp lighters are-made. There are four ma chines in that town attended by 40 or 50 girls, each machine cutting four thousand per minute. About 20 girls are making boxes, and the others are packing the toothpicks. Georgia money goes to Maine for toothpicks and lamp-lighters, made of wood. The “ Tangle.” —On the “ Ilymn Book Tangle” the National Baptist of Nov. 30, wisely repeats its “ advice to the churches who may wish to adopt anew hymn book, to take sufficient time and care and to form their conclusions by their own examinations, and not simply upon the testimony of others.” “ Come thou fount,” “ Did Christ o’er sinners weep?” and “ Jesus, I my cross have taken,” can be sung very sweetly from the Psalmody or Psalmist. Those who have a supply of either can afford to draw their music from the “ New Casket .” Teacher Wanted. —Fifteen miles N. W. of Rome there is a good academy building in which has been conducted, for several years, a male school of high Order, for the support of which the people were united and active. For 1872 a competent teacher is now want ed. The income from tuition, SBOO or more. Society good ; country healthy and prosper ous. You can correspond with Rev. F. W.

YOU CAN SERVE YOURSELF, family, friends, the cause, day and generation by re turning the bill sent you this week, with the amount called for, with the least possible de lay. Envelopes are furnished, already ad dressed, which leaves but little writing to be done. A brief letter, and with it $3, or more, put in the envelope and placed in your post office, with a green stamp, will give it a start on a happy voyage. Don’t allow that envelope to remain about your house idle until another hard freeze. To Select the best cooking stove from a display of a dozen or more, all in their best attire, is not the easiest thing undertaken, es pecially if the party wishing the best is a novice in such matters. But the experience of others can be brought to the relief of those in quest of the article, and thus the best stove selected. When you come to the Stewart, seek no further. A better is not to be found. Its cost is more than some others, but it is far more valuable. Delay. —W T ater pipes bursted, pumps with split caps, locomotives motionless, trains on several roads failed to make time, printers’ fingers refused service, stoves too cold, &c., &c , &c., and lastly,but not leastly, this week’s J. & B. failed to go to press on Wednesday, as usual, on account of a combination of causes. Printers are curious men. They have to eat, sleep, wear, warm and get cold, and when they are cold , they are-* ery cold. They are warmed up now, and we hope to keep their blood up to about 75". Pastors! —Fill your empty purses, the empty treasures of yourchurches, the empty pockets of your misv sionarie9, etc., etc., by filling, our subscription books with tho nameys of new, fully paid-up subscribers.

Prof. J. D. C. —Never declined an article from you — certainly not an obituary. It appears this week. E. E. ll.—Article received too late for this issue. Wc regret it, and so will the “Little Boys.” 11. W. P., Troy—Wise are you in not allowing subscription to expire in the summer. Winter is the time to renew, and before cotton money is all spent. J. A. D. Shreveport, pays in full for another year. Our Mails.—The I. a- B. is printed and mailed with punctual regularity (accidents and calamities excepted) eveiy Wednesday afternoon. A mail sack is made up by us for each road, and either sent to departing trains, or to the P. 0., to await the departure of the first mail train—on such roads as leave on Thursday morning. The regular mail train on the State Road, which leaves Atlanta every evening at 10,| o’clock, for Chattanooga, arrives at Dalton several hours after the mail train on the S. R. & D. R. R. has left for Talladega and Selma. Mail matter, as seen above, for offices on the S., R. & D. R. R., which may be on the postal car of the State Road from Atlanta, is compelled to lose 24 hours or more at Dalton, or be returned to this city, and be sent to Montgomery on the morning train, thence to Celara, to make con nection with the train from Selma to Dalton, thus requiring from 48 to 72 hours for deliv ery, instead of less than 12 or 15 hours in any other direction, Judge Dunning, our accommodatiug Postmaster, fully appreciates the difficulties under which we labor, and is anxious to have the matter remedied at the earliest day. The delay in the delivery of our papers, to us, is a very serious matter, but cannot be avoided. Smith’s Unabridged is likely to become as familiar to students as Webster’s Unabridged to all readers. Dr. William Smith’s Diction ary of the Bible, the great monument to English Biblical scholarship, has been abridg ed and compressed in various editions; but one firm in America has done the true thing in revising and enlarging that great work. Hurd & Houghton, of New York, put the work, some time since, into the hands of two eminent American scholars, Profs. Hackett and Ezra Abbot, who have prepared an edi tion for our country which not only gives all that is in the original edition, better arranged, but corrects errors and brings down the work by additions to the very latest dates of schol ship and discovery. This edition must long remain unquestionably the first, superior to the English as that was superior to all pre ceding ones. No Biblical scholar can afford to be without it, and no church ought to allow its minister to want a copy.— Ex. Cracker Factort. —To those unacquaint ed with the mode of making “crackers, oakes and snapps,” a visit to the wholesale manu facturing establishment, on South Forsyth street, in this city, will prove interesting. In January last, operations begun, and now the establishment is one of first-class dimensions, capable of supplying the demands of several States. There are 25 different kinds of crackers, including cakes and snapps, manu factured by this house, the ingredients of which always being of the most choice, and manipulated by most experienced workmen, rank high with all who have tried them. The proprietors of this establishment, Messrs. H. Lewis & Cos., are worthy gentlemen, arid we are glad to know that their enterprise is meeting with favor throughout the country, i'heir goods already go, not only through, out Georgia, but to many points in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. In time, thfy will absorb a large per cent, of the trade now going to the East and West. The machinery of the establishment consists of one of Vale’s Rotary Ovens, capacity, 30 bbls. flour per day ; Cutting Machine, Break and Mixer, and Elevator,.run by steam power. When the crackers are taken from the oven, in the base ment, they are conveyed to the third floor for packing in neat, new boxes, and are im mediately shipped, in response to many or ders which every mail brings to the house. The operatives, men, women and boys, number, at present, 16 persons. The goods are all fresh, new and sweet, and the custom ers of the house are never supplied with any other. We feel gratified at the growing pros perity of the Atlanta Cracker Manufactory, and heartily commend it to favorable consid eration of all our people. Atlanta moves forward. She is just now completing arrangements for the inauguration of her public schools. The work is not to be done by halves either. The system will em brace schools of all grades, from primary to high. The Superintendent, Mr. B. Mallon, is to receive $2,000 per annum, and the pay of male teachers range from S9OO to SI,BOO per annum. Female teachers’ salaries will range from $450 to S7OO per annum. Enough teachers will be employed to instruct 1,500 pupils—so to a teacher. The school buildings are rapidly approach ing completion. They are to be handsomely furnished. The school furniture will come from the manufactory of W. H. Slaymaker, Esq., Atlanta. — Cor. Chronicle and Sentinel. The Collins steel plows are said to be even more popular than the Collins axes, which is a good proof of their superiority, and the care used ip their manufacture. Sometimes, not ofttn, we receives notice to discontinue, couched :n language by no means elegant nor gentle. Somebody, it may be a vol unteer agent, or a past, / over solicitous and over hopeful, sends us a with a pledge on their part, if the person docs not pay they will. Al ways willing to gratfy our friends, we, in the simplicity of our heart?, send off a few specimens, generally to receive b?pk words of appreciation and something more substantial. But alas! some times we get an ariswe' which moves us to pity —it shows such an sDsence of the qualities of common sense and’charity. Some people forget that editors, if they l*ek oven the common in stincts of mortals, get accustomed to certain ugly specimens of hu lanity, that they almost forget to be amused at i®»r grimaces. Certainly we cannot gratify humans so much as to put their sentences iiffef Ant. There never was a commendable enterprise on foot which did not excite the envy of certs |n mean spirits. Brethren Luther & * earnan, in the C. 8., tell what may seem, to som 1 people, a strange story; but one as true as saertp writ, as scores of pub lishers can vouch for. \To publish some of the “ loving (?) epistles,” abided to above, has been our mind, now and theb, but they are generally so rough, so curt, so uncouth, and so uncalled for, that, upon reflect 1 oK they are where they ought to be. How Christians could write such letters, has excited our . onder hundreds of times. Montgom TV Firms. The individual names linitials1 initials not furnished) given, Baptists.

Sister Grisham was the youngest daughter of Philemon Bradford, Esq., of Greenville District, S. C. In 1882, sties united with the Baptist church at Decatur, Ga.; but she soon afterward trans ferred her membership to the church at Canton, which she and Bro. Grisham aided in constituting, and of which she remained a consistent and useful member till her death. She bore the intense suffering of her last protracted illness with, true Christian meekness and fortitude, and breathed her last triumphing in the hope of a blissful immortality. J. D. C. MRS. MARY ELIZABETH WHITE.-Died, at the residence of her husband, T. N. White, M.D., in Amber son, Cherokee county, Ala.,j on the m jrning of Octo ber 15th, 1871, Mrs. Mary Elisabeth White; aged 42 years and 2 months. ; Sister White was daughter of William and Sarah Amberson; was married to Dr. T. N. White the sth of December, 1861; made,tf profession of religion in 1859, and was baptized into' the fellowship of the Bap tist church at Liberty, in May, 1863. Asa Christian wife and mother, she exen>n?aed the power of the reli gion which she so early professed. In health, she knew now to battle for the Lord Jesus, ever ready to make a sacrifice for Him who had -acrifleed so much for her. In her last affliction, of seven long months, her pray ers were assimilated in acter to those of her Sa viour in Gethsemane. “t: liiei, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me,”—le| life be spared that I may raise my children ; “ nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt,” What a hold irkt life have had upon her 1 for she leaves behind a uoblt hearted Christian husband and widowed mother to mo;rn her loss, and six little children, without a mother.' Thanks be unto cur God! the riches of His grace rob?ied death of its sting, and enabled her to meet the hi of terrors with a smile. May the Lord of all mercies comfort the broken-hearted husband, and not only gran - him grace and wisdom to raise his six motherless children, but also follow up the little ones by his Spirit, eyfer throwing around them the protecting mantle of biff love. J. M. R. FANNIE CARPENTER.4-Died, in the city of Au gusta, Ga., on the 7th of (letober, sister Fannie Car penter, in the 26th year of her age. She united with the Baptist church in her eleventh year, and remained a consistent member untif Jhe died. She had been af flicted for years with the asithma, but alter her marriage the disease grew worse, unjil it was pronounced con sumption. They had born anto them one son, (John by name.) Some two momSs before her death, their little Johnny was taken sicl , and grew worse very fast. Sister Fannie would often l ay. If it only was the will of the Lord to take Johnny first; but such was not the case. Some two weeks before she died, she expressed having lears, but the day before she left this world, she called her husband and sistters to her bedside, and told them she was going to die, und exhorted them to meet her in heaven—that all waslbright before her; she was going to her Saviour, and! that all her friends must meet her there. After talkijig for an hour or more, she became quiet, and said but little afterward. Thus she passed away to join the heavenly family, leaving one child, a husband, father,! mother, brothers and sis ters, and many friends, to (mourn her loss; but they mourn not as those who have no hope. Her little Johnny followed her on the 14th—only 7 days apart. Theygsuffered together here: now they sing together in heaven, i H. A. W. ' At a regular meeting the Atlanta Division, No. 69, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, By visitation o£ Divine Providence, we are called upon to monrn the Ipsa of our much loved bro ther and Past Chief Engineer, W.

Anderson this Division has lost one of its beet and ablest supporters, and that each and every member has indeed lost a bro ther, and this community evaluable and public-spirited citizen. Resolved, That the symjpxthies of this Division be extended to the bereaved family that are called upon to mourn the loss of an affectionate husband and father —ever bearing in mind that for true consolation they must look to Him who givieth and who tuketh away. I Resolved, That as a tribute of respect to our departed brother, we drape our hall jin mourning for thirty days.

The baleful dews of earth are shed; The wind, with angry and destructive breath, Scatters its leaves and fragrance in the shade, And chills the precious drooping plant to death. Then mourn not, ye who reared this tender flower, That to your bauds the honored task was given To cultivate for one short, happy hour, A plant to bloom eternally in heaven. Sister. MRS. SUSAN GRISHAM.-Deceased, at Canton, Ga., Oct. 87, 1871, in her 72hd year, Mrs. Susan Gris ham—for nearly 46 years the worthy consort of Dea con Wm. Grisham. Sister Grisham was the youngest daughter of Philemon Bradford, Esq., of Greenville District, S. C. In 1832, she united with the Baptist church at Decatur, Ga.; but she soon afterwards transferred her membership to the church at Canton, of which she remained a consistent and useful member till her death. She bore the intense sufferings of her last protracted illness with true Christian meekneßS and fortitude, and breathed her last, triumphing in the hope of a happy immortality. J. D. C.

So mild as to be safe and beneficial to children, and yet so searching as to effectually purge out the great cor ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous and syphilitic contamination. Impurities, or diseases that have lurked in the system for years, soon yield to this powerful anti dote, and disappear. Hence its wonderful cures, many of which are publicly known, of Scroftila, and all scrofhlous diseases, Ulcers, Eruptions, and eruptive dis orders of the skin, Tumors, Blotches, Boils, Pimples, Pustules, Sores. St. Anthony's Fire, Bose or Erysipe las, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, and internal Ul cerations of the Uterus, Stomach, and Liver. It also cures other com plaints, to which it would not seem especi ally adapted, such as Dropsy, Dyspep sia, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Disease, Female Weakness, Debility, and Leucorrhoea, when they are manifesta tions of the scrofulous poisons. It is an excellent restorer of health and strength in the Spring. By renewing the appetite and vigor of the digestive organs, it dissipates the depression and listless lan guor of the season. Even where no disorder appears, people feel better, and live longer, ibr cleansing the blood. The system moves on with renewed vigor and anew lease of life. PREPARED BT Dr. J. C.

We can assure our old patrons that it is kept fully up to its high standard; and it is the only reliable and perfect ed preparation for restoring Gray or Faded Hair to its youthful color, making it soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp, by its use, becomes white and clean. It removes all eruptions and dandruff and, by its tonic prop erties, prevents the hair from falling out, as it stimulates and nourishes the hair-glands.
