as an Evangelist, and I Irus' the plans put
forth will retain him. Would it not be well
for him to look after the Elyton and Birming
ham interest soon, if he acts! Bro. F. need
not be afraid ; we, up here in the mountains,
will say to him, “ Who hath required this at
your hands? We shall all be willing to co
operate with him, or with any one else, in the
things referred to in this paper. 1 should feel
like it would be a great loss to lose Bro.
Freeman, but I could not quite think as my
pood Bro. Henderson said at the Convention,
■ hat. one-fifth of the great moral pulpit tal
t of Alabama had already gone in a few of
the last years.” I don’t pretend to quote his
words; the idea is all lam at. I just think
the expression was an extravagant one, that’s
all. 1 think we should all do as Bro. 11. said
he had done, —continue to stand by our loved
State in her desolation. 1 felt like 1 wanted
to give him my hand. 1 added a hearty
amen. Shall I hear from Alabama Baptists?
I am in earnest. A. J. Waldrop.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
A Special , Reasonable, Seasonable
Earnest Request.
The 60th year of the Index closes
with next week’s issue. The paper
has been, during the past six years,
MUCH'MORE than the denomi
nation willed that it should be. IT
HAS LIVED, it will (D.v.) in
the future, be all that the friends of
truth, righteousness, and progres
sive Christian liberality will enable
it, and more. The request is, That
every subscriber at once renew for
1972, and induce one or more new
patrons to enter the service. Such
an expression of interest will great
ly encourage and strengthen the
hands of all concerned. WILL
YOU DO JIT?
Index and Baptist Wants. —lt wants
■a new outfit; anew steam engine, a hun
dred reams of paper ; to double its size ;
to beautify its pages; to increase the
number of its correspondents ; to give a
greater variety of reading matter; and
last, though not least, it wants to be
equal , in every feature, to any religious
journal in America, at $3 a year —no
more, no less. These things it must have.
Help !
you have a good business, adver>
tise and keep it. It not, advertise and get
it.— Reporter.
Success.—Donn Piatt says “ the way to
make a successful journal is to have a bushel
*of chaff to a grain of fact.”
The Rural Carolinian sustains its well
earned reputation as a first-class publication.
Its value is hard to compute.
To Bro Lee. —Fort Deposit names enter
ed. Your list was misplaced at Montgomery,
but afterwards found. All now’ correct.
To J. F. B. —Obituary of J. M. H. to
hand too late for this week by three days.
Only short paragraphs can be inserted when
received so late.
Eureka! Eureka !—A Doctor has discov
ered that the nightmare, in nine cases out of
ten, is produced from owing a bill to theprin-
ter.
Kind Words. —Subscribe at once, or send
us stamps for specimen copies. We have
other copies yet to supply all who desire
them. Send stamps.
To J. M. C., Albany.— Paper has gone
regularly to Rev. W. Jordan. No delay at
thFs office. Paper is now going also to Dr. j
F. W., at Weaver’s Station.
Fathers, mothers, preachers, deacons and
others, fail not to read “ Angel in a Saloon,”
in our Supplement sheet. Read it to your
sons, daughters, churches, and file it away for
future reading. Its worth a volume of lec
tures.
Legislation. —Wise, wholesome legislation
b one, and a very dififerent thing, from a
body of men who have been regarded as wise
legislators. Wise men do not, at all times,
act wisely.
IT. & H. —The publishers of the Hearth and
Home and American Agriculturist state that
the two papers will give away more than $30,-
000 worth of new engravings during the year
1872.
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SODTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14,1871.
Doctor Chaudoin (Rev. W. N.) would pa
thetically appeal to everybody for mission
money, and for all his special correspondents
to address him at Jonesboro, Ga.
Cold Shoulders manifest themselves, now
and then, in circles where least expected, and
for which there is not the slightest cause.
Strange indeed that goodness and intelligence
should thus exhibit themselves.
Health. —As you value the health and
prosperity of yourself, family and country,
have about you the best fruit that can be
grown, and in variety. Have fruit of your
own, and be not dependent on others.
It’s high time for a pastor of a church to
pack his trunk and saddle his Mustang when
the fact is revealed to him of the intention of
his members to starve him out. If their minds
are made up to it, they’ll do it.
The December Southern Cultivator is full
of rich food for the mind of the farmer, gar
dener and house keeper. It is an old favorite
with a large number of Southern readers.

A Victory for American Manufactur
ers. —At the great Paris Exposition, in 1867,
the prize Silver Medal was awarded to the
Collins Steel Plows. The makers, Collins &
Cos., 212 Water Street, New York, are justly
proud of their success.
Undei the head of “ Memories of North
Alabama,’' a series of graphic articles are
given in the columns of the Mobile Register.
Number six of the series appears in the paper
of the 9lh, and is particularly thrilling. The
Weekly Register is well suited to country
readers. Price $3 a year.
Strange indeed that otherwise prudent
men will sacrifice their eyesight when a few
dollars will secure one of those superior lamps
sold by Ware & Davis, at Montgomery, Ala.
Ware & Davis are men of enterprise and ac
tive in business, secular and religious.
Selling religious newspapers on a credit,
weekly, by the year, and never getting the
pay, is just the sort of business to keep the
nose of a whole kingdom of publishers to the
grindstone for successive generations. It’s a
good thing to promptly pay subscriptions to
your publisher.
Deacon E. W. Solomons, of New Provi
dence church, will accept our thanks for a
copy of the minutes of his Association (the
Middle) for 1871. The excellent style in
which it is printed is evidence of the pros
perity of the Association. Some liberality of
the churches required for the execution of
such documents in a style so admirable.
Imprudence. —How many of us can date
the cause of our last sickness to either a
crowded room, and then coming out in cold
air, or wearing damp clothes, causiug a cough
which settles upon the luegs, producing seated
pains in the chest. A variety of remedies
are before the people, among which, Allen’s
Lung Balsam is esteemed by some.
R. ll.’ Molton & Cos. keep a large stock
ol books and stationery at 31 Market street,
Montgomery, Ala. Such establishments
are not appreciated and patronized by Bap
tists as they should be. To be supplied,
at your dorr, with fresh religious literature,
pure and orthodox, is a service worthy of the
first consideration.
An Alabama Pastor writes, (and who can
controvert what he says?)—“ I believe it the
duty of every pastor , as w’ell as his interest, to
take the Index dt Baptist, and to induce all the
members of his church to read it regularly.”
Can there be a “ nay” vote upon this propo
sition?
FIFTY blanks to one prize, fifty shots
and one game, fifty barren letters to one
fruitful, are not popular with any body. Ten
dollars a week from a package of a hundred
letters indicates hard times among the ru
ralists.
Four Good Habits.—Punctuality, accu
racy, steadiness and dispatch. Without the
first, time is wasted ; without the second, mis
takes, the most hurtful to our own credit and
interest and that of others, may be commit
ted ; without the third, nothing can be done
well; and without the fourth, opportunities
of advantage are lost which it is impossible
to recall.— Ex.
Pastor Wanted.—Any Baptist minister
who may be willing to take charge of two
churches in the Union Baptist Association,
—one at Carrollton, Pickens county, Ala.,
the other about ten miles South, —would do
well to correspond with us. The field is an
inviting one. Good society, health, etc. We
can pay a fair salary. Address W. G. Ro
bertson, Carrollton, Ga.
A Welcome List. —An cld and highly es
teemed subscriber at Cave Spring (Bro. Jas.
Sanders) favors us with a list of nearly fifty
names to whom papers may be addressed.
We shall do all in our power to enlist the
co operation of these brethren in the work of
enlargement. Zion pleads loudly for the ac
tive, earnest and unceasing efforts of her
friends and adherents.
The Nashville daily papers have wisely
concluded to raise their subserption price to
$lO per annum after Ist of January, 1872.
Either of the papers is well worth the money
asked for them, and the advance asked next
year is but a trifle above cost. We are glad
to see a disposition among the Nashville pub
lishers to abolish the cut-throat system of
low prices just to gain a picayune notoriety.
—Murfreesboro News.
There died, on the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th
of November, at Stratford, Conn., Mrs. Dr.
Wm. Chelton, Mr. David Gorham, John
Stratton, and Mr. Wm. McEwen, aged re
spectively seventy seven, eighty six, ninety,
and ninety-six years. They were all born,
and lived all their lives, in Stratford ; the
three last named lived within 100 yards of
each other. Mr. McEwen, it is said, had never
traveled in a railroad car or steamboat.
The Right Sort of Talk. —The Pulaski
Citizen says : Nashville has two of the best
daily papers in the South, or in the North
either, if we except a few metropolitan dai
lies, and we hope ihe people of Tennessee and
of the South will sustain them liberally, and
not fly off at the handle because they have
advanced their rates to $lO per annum. They
are worth every cent of it, and could not
survive on less at the r present rate of ex
penditures.
The 30th volume of the American Agricul
turist is completed with the December issue.
Think of it, farmer ! Its cost is only $1.50 for
a year. The sale of 5 doz. eggs will enable
you to pay for it—o doz. at most. Shame
on any farmer who can’t give 100, 200, 300,
or even 500 eggs for such current literature
for himself and family. Orange Judd & Cos.,
of New York, are benefactors of the present
generation. Hearth & Home and Agricultu
rist one year each for $4.
The Baptist Choir. —Prof. G. O. Robin
son, the talented leader of the Baptist church
choir, was on Saturday evening last most
agreeably surprised by those with whom he for
so long a time has been pleasantly associated,
The choir had finished its rehearsal, and the
Professor was about to leave, when he was
requested by one of the members to remain.
He was then presented with a magnificent
gold-headed cane, in token of .their apprecia
tion. The cane bears the following inscrip
tion : “ Presented to G. O. Robinson by Sa
vannah Baptist Choir, October, 1871.” It is
said that the Professor is about to take an
early departure from the city, and that it was
in view of this fact that the choir tendered
the above-mentioned present. It is hoped
that the Professor may be induced to remain
in the city, where his zeal and worth is re
cognized and appreciated.— Sav. News,
Medical CoMFanion.— The second volume
of this excellent Journal will commence on
the 15th January. It has accomplished much
good io the past, it will accomplish muoh in
the future. The editorial corps embraces
the first names and best talent in the Medi
cal Profession of the land. Reader, your
family Physician should have it. Induce
him to send for a specimen number. Address
this office.
A Word to our Merchants.—Advertis
ing is an art, and is the mother of the art of
money-making. Successful advertisers un
hesitatingly and gratefully declare that they
owe the beginning of their prosperity and the
foundation of their wealth to the liberal and
judicious use of printers’ ink. It is paradoxi
cal, but not singular, that printer’s ink, by
blackening a man’s reputation, actually bene
fits him. The ingenuity displayed by some
accomplished advertisers makes advertising
almost a fine art. — Union <£ American.
It is a necessity, vital and imperative, that
our cause should have local papers. The
closer the paper can be brought to its own
proper field, the better for the cause, Papers
that aim to spread themselves over all crea
tion, and embrace a dozen States, or the whole
nation in their ambitious arms, can give but
little space and little attention to the local
interests and affairs of the individual States.
Thgy must content themselves with the brief
est and most uninteresting scraps.— Journal
& Messenger.
Personals .—The Nashville Union <k
American of the Bth, notices the departure
from the city of two worthy young men, as
following : Messrs. Cnas. R. Groomes and
Wm. Reese, of this city, left yesterday for
Atlanta, Ga., for the purpose of opening a
branch office of the undertaking business.
We wish them success in their new under
taking.
We are pleased to state that the young
gentlemen named above arrived safely in our
city, and paid us a call on Saturday. Gladly
do we take them by the hand as ail such per
sons of worth and enterprise who come among
us with commendable intentions
The Scientific American enters upon its
twenty-seventh year, in January 1872. As
repeatedly said before, again we would say,
that it is one of the most useful, beautiful and
interesting journals, of its class, published in
the “ Empire .” To properly estimate its
true value is not an easy task. It is an im
portant work for farmers and their children,
for mechanics, inventors, engineers, manufac
turers and every body else. Terms—s3 a
year; clubs of ten, $2 50 each, with a splen
did premium to the person who forms the
club, of the celebrated steel-plate engraving,
“ Men of Progress,” address Munn & Cos., 37
Park Row, New York.
The Plantation, of the 6th, furnishes its
readers with a Prize Essay on “ Deep Pre
paration,” etc., which must prove of great
value. “As preparation precedes production,
so is the plow the forerunner of the flail; and
from its thorough application any subsequent
abundance springs.” The Plantation is one
of the most interesting and valuable journals
now issued from the weekly press of our
country. It is beautifully printed, and evinces
practical thought and skill in its editorial con
duct. It ought to be scattered among the
families of the land by tens of thousands of
copies. $3 a year.
Symbolic Color. Dr. Cannon was once
appealed to by a certain church where there
was a great commotioD in regard to the point
whether in new-painting their church edifice
the color should be white or yellow. When
the committee had stated the case, and with
an emphasis, not to say acrimony, which gave
sad proof of the existence of a fearful feud
upon the unimportant question, the Doctor
quietly said, “ I should advise you, on the
wliole, to paint the house black. It is cheap,
and a good color to wear, and eminently ap
propriate for a body that ought to go in
mourning over such a foolish quarrel among
its members.— Journal.
Poor Man’s Soap. —Rich people need n’t
buy it. It’s made for the poor—made for
“ we uns,” and “yu uns” can pay more and
get an inferior article. Dr. Hitchcock says,
—and he is a good man and true, and an in
ventor of the soap—that it’s the best soap
for laundry purposes ever sold in Atlanta.
The Doctor’s opinion is worth a great deal
in every intelligent circle. This indispensa
ble Poor Man’s Soap is made in this city, of
Georgia material, and sells for less money
than other soaps brought to this market. Buy
a box, half a box, or any quantity, and give
it a trial. Address Hitchcock & Cos., At
lanta, Ga.
Newspaper Dividends. —Purely through
the best of motives, a large number of names
are often continued on the list considerably
beyond the period paid for. It would seem
that such kindness aud courtesy might well
be appreciated by those on whom practiced.
But—well—“ many men of many minds,”
etc. Here is a specimen : No. 1. —“ Gentle
men : You can stop sending your paper to
me.” The writer of these words has lost much
more than the Index, though the Index feels
the pecuniary loss. This is a good world, but
with strange people in it, with strange ways.
Specimen No. 2. —“ lam under many, very
many obligations to you for continuing to
send your valuable paper to me after my sub
scription was out, for which I am truly thank
ful ; and I assure you that it is with great
pleasure I enclose you $4 to pay for my
paper. I hope these hard times will not af
fect the circulation of the Index and Baptist,
for it would give me great pleasure to know
that it was read by every family in Alabama.
May the Lord bless you and crown your ef
forts with success, is the wish of one of your
constant readers.” Specimen number two
from a sister, and contained the only remit',
tance of that day. Specimen No. 3.—“ Dear
Brother: I will not permit another freeze to
find me indebted for your paper. No envel
ope came for me, and I thought the payment
was made in advance for twelve months, but
to my astonishment, mine and others were un
paid for. Enclosed find $3. Very respect
fully, Mrs. S.”
Correspondents. —To B. W. W.~lf our
answer to you last week has led any one to
suppose that you are a paid agent, or charge
any thing for services rendered the Index in
extending its influence, <sfc., they are quite
mistaken. We can assure them that you

this way, without pecuniary compensation.

Three Engines for One Train. —The
mechanism of locomotives, as well as of
men, sometimes becomes deranged. The
Edgefield and Kentucky passenger train, due
here at 6:10 Thursday evening, experienced
this fact, for when at Guthrie the locomotive
refused to work, and it had to be hitched to
another, which al3o ceasld its usefulness, be
cause of the pumps refusing to work, by the
time it reached Red River. Here a third
engine was borrowed from a freight train,
and by its aid the train arrived here at 8:15.
Not Alone. —The machinery of tnis office
refused to perform its functions during the

Florida is still deeply agitated on the tax
question. The people are threatened with
pecuniary ruin. The State expenses for three

The contest for the pTize of a S2OO tea set,

The Bickford JTnittdig Machine is regarded
with great favor by skill il mechanics. The Scien
tific American of June last gave a flattering ac
count of its performances. It says: “We have
taken great pleasure in personally inspecting and
operating this machine, and have become con
vinced that it comprises all that is essential for
family use.” Higher testimony need not be called
for, than the above.
Compared with other machines, it will be found
more simple, and not soliable to get out of orderj;
requires less skill to work it. Samples of its
work can be had by enclosing 15 cents to “ Agent
Bickford Knitting Machine, Atlanta, Ga.” Price
of number one machine, for family use, with late

ALL THOSE WHO SUFFER
FROM
CONSUMPTION OR COUGH
Please read the following letter from a well
known Druggist?
Mr. Version, 111., April 29, 1871.
Messrs. J. N. Harris A Cos., Cincinnati, O.:
Gentlemen: I head one of my customers speak in
such high terms of Allen’s Lung Balsam, to-day, that
I thought I would write you the substance of bisstate
meut. He says his mother, who is now sixty years of
age, suffered with consumption for several years, and
has been under the care of all our best physicians, but
never received any permanent benefit; then she re
sorted to most every kind of cough and lung balsam
that could be prepared for her, but all to no avail. She
still grew worse, until she was confined to her bed ;
and when she wan seized with a paroxysm of coughing,
she would lose the power of respiration, imd they were
compelled to resort to various means to restore breath
ing; and while she coughed so hard she did not expec
torate anything, and the family and friends had given
up all hopes of her recovery ; her son noticed the ad
vertisement of Allen’s Lung Balsam in the “Christian
Advocate,” and they thought they would procure and
try it. They commenced giving her the Balsam at 5
o’clock P m., ns directed, a dose every hour until mid
night; then she took another spell of coughing, and
expectorated mouthftils of .lark, yellow mutter, which
was something she bad not been able to do for some
time. They continued to give her the Balsom until
morning, and then she began to expectorate freely;
and within two hours she had expectorated three pints
of mucous matter, which gave her immediate relief,
and since that time she continued to improve. She
now sits up all day, and can walk about the house and
take considerable out-door exercise. Her son bought
more of the Balsam to-day, and he is recommending it
very highly to every one.
Youra respectfullr,
A. C. JOHNSON, Druggist.
Was there ever greater proof of merit than the case
this letttr refers to ?
ALLEN’S LUNG BALSAM is, without doubt, the
best expectorant remedy ever offered to the afflicted
public. Directions accompany each bottle.
It is Harmless to the most Delicate Child.
IT CONTAINS *0 OIIOM IN ANY FORM.

Ayer’s Cathartic Pills,
ed by their timely
use; and every family should have them on hand
for their protection and relief, when required.
Long experience ha 9 proved them to be the saf
est, surest, and best of all the Pills with which
the market abounds. By their occasional use,
the blood is purified, the corruptions of the sys
tem expelled, obstructions removed, and the
whole machinery of life restored to its healthy
activity. Internal organs which become clogged
and sluggish are cleansed by Ayer’s Pills, and
stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease
is changed into health, the value of which change,
when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy
it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating
makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their
virtues unimpaired for any length of time, so
that they are ever fVesh, and perfectly reliable.
Although searching, they are mild, and operate
without disturbance to the constitution, or diet, or
occupation.
Full directions are given on the wrapper to
each box, how to use them as a Family Fnysic,
and for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:—
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Listless
ness. Languor and Loss of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the stom
ach, and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint and its various symp
toms, Billons Headache, Sick Head
ache, Jaundice or Green Sickness, Bil
ious Colic aud Bilious Levers, they should
be Judiciously taken for each case, to correct the
diseased action or remove the obstructions which
cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, hut one
mild dose is generally required.
For Rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Pain in the
Side, Back and Loins, they should be contin
uously taken, as required, to change the diseased
action of the system. With such change those
complaints disappear.
For Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings,
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect of a drastic purge.
ior Suppression, a large dose should he
taken, as it produces the desired effect by sym
pathy.
Asa Vinner Pill, take one or two Pills to
promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels, restores the appetite, and invigorates the
system. Hence it is often advantageous where
no serious derangement exists. One who feels
tolerably well, often finds that a dose of these
Pills makes him feel decidedly better, from their
cleansing and renovating effect on the digestive
apparatus.

Hair Vigor,
Tor restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.
gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; hut such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu
lated into activity, so that anew
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair wkh a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma
tion of dandruff, which is often so un
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
