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. The Week of Prayer.

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. Price $2 a year. Wm. & W. L. Jones. Athens. 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 cheerfully do what you can for theicause, in this way, without pecuniary compensation. Your aim and idea is, we think, and under stand you to co-operate with us to the fullest extent in doing good through the religious press of your State. S. W. N., of S. C., pays on his subscription and for T. D. P.—— J. T. S. P. remits for names previously en tered. J. H. A. pays arrearages, and asks for suspension. To capture a large flock of birds, or a school of shad, and then break your net and set them all at liberty again, is not whatiishermen nor fowlers labor for. Hold on to your paper, is the word. Be progres sive, .and pay for another year. Mrs. S. P. acts timely aud wisely.-**-™,Mrs. M. M., of Bmsonville, comes nobly to the relief of one of her best interests. Would that aH of the Index reading family were as liberal and prompt as J. C., of Augusta.

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 very cold weather of last week. Result: the Index and Baptist delayed twenty-four hours. — Union and American. Florida is still deeply agitated on the tax question. The people are threatened with pecuniary ruin. The State expenses for three years and a half, under Reed, exceeded the sum total for sixteen years, from 1845 up to 1861. The contest for the pTize of a S2OO tea set, for the best cooked dinner, offered at the Thomasvilie (Ga.) fair, resulted in a victory for Miss Bettie Hayes, of Thomas county. 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 improvements, $25.

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.

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.

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.

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. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
