INDEX AND BAPTIST.
Publishers' Pepartment.
—The Christian World thinks a roost appro
priate and beneficial method of celebrating the
national centennial would be the diffusion of
religous knowledge to every family in the
country through the medium of the religious
press. The poor as well as the rich are com
manded as beneficiaries in this suggested plan.
It would be a most powerful influence for
good if a religious weekly should pay its visits
to the home of every citizen; and we Bbould
greatly rijoice if a movement for tin’s purpose
were practical! y inaugurated and carried into
effect. As stated in an editorial last week, it
would be a mast praiseworthy and fruitful
charity if The Index were sent by those
who have been blessed with abundance, to the
homes of those members of our denomination
in this State, who, by reason of their financial
condition, are denied regular religious in
struction. What we have said in regard to
Ibis paper applies, with equal force, to other
established religious journals, within their sev
eral fields.
The most feasible plan for accomplishing
this object is the endowment of the papers with
a special fund, to be equitably applied in send
ing them to the poor. The number of tliiz
class in the State should be ascertained, and
each enjoy, pro rata, the benefits of the endow
ment fund.
Who will remember the poor, and commence
(his good work in earned f
In suggesting an endowment fund for the
purpose of furnishing religious journals to the
poor of the country, we do not intend to dis
courage individuals from doing their part of
this work by direct action. Such as prefer to
give special direction to their charities, should
select the preferred beneficiaries, and send
them the paper. There is no better time than
the present to do this work. Its fruits will
most richly reward these benefactors.

How to do Florida In a Work The Cost iu
Detail—An interesting Paper Tor Tourists.
Can anything new be written about Florida?
is a very natural inquiry, and one that a ma
jority of people who have not visited the
"Land of Flowers” would answer in the neg
ative. To one who has just witnessed the in
describable richness of the glorious country for
the first time, it seems that not one-half has been
said. Notwithstanding this feeling is strong
enough to be convincing to my own mind, 1
have not the vanity to undertake a description
of the beauties of this land, where perpetual
summer reigns, so often and so eloquently des
cribed. It would be so utterly impossible to do
the subject justice, that I have concluded to
give it up in despair, and send you, instead, a
practical letter, and treat of dollars and cents,
and not scenery and sentiment. Many people
are deterred from enjoying a tour to Florida
by reason of time and expense. To remove
these seeming obstacles, I propose to explore
Florida in a week,and at an expense of SB7 and
less. I will take the Macon route first. Leave
Atlanta at 10:30, v. m., on Friday, and Satur
day, r. M., at 10:15 you are at Jacksonville.
Go to the Grand National Hotel and remain
Sunday, lly Monday you will certainly meet
with Walter F. Coleman, the gentlemanly
agent of tire Starlight, the best boat on the St.
Johns river. At 9 o’clock, Monday morning
leave, Jacksonville on the Starlight. On the
vessel you will find good fare, comfortable
staterooms, and attentive, and experienced
officers. At 4r. M. you will reach Palatka,
having passed all the points of interest on the
lower river by daylight. As the Starlight re
mains at Palatka until 12 o’clock at night, you
■will have time to see the town, and visit
Hart’s seventy-five thousand dollar orauge
grove, on the point opposite Palatka. It is
reached by means of row-boats, which can be
hired at all times. When you awake on
Tuesday morning, you will find that the Star
light is fairly into the upper river, and you will,
no doubt,like the exchange from the broad,lake
like expanse of the lower to the narrow, tor
tuous course of the upper river, with its troph
acal growth, often overhanging the very decks
of the boat.
At 3 o’clock Tuesday, the Starlight is safely
moored at Enterprise, and a half hour later is
heading across the lake toward Sanford.
Reaching the place at 4, you should take a
carriage through the country to meet the boat
at Mellonville. After visiting the groves of
Ginn Marks, Hayden, Vaughn, Markham
and others, take tea at the Orange House, and
and return to the Starlight at Mellonville,
which is a mile or more from Sanford, the
landing at which you left the boat. By 9
o’clock you are at rest in your pleasant cabin
on the Starlight, and when the breakfast hell
arouses you the next morning, you will lind
that you are on your return trip, having left
Mellonville at daylight. At 7 Wednesday
evening, you are at Palatka again, where you
leave the Starlight and go to the Putnam
House for a night’s rest, a bath, and a chance
at your trunks.
Thursday morning, at 7, you leave on the
steamer Pastime—and an elegant and well
officered one she is, and no mistake—for Tocoi,
where you take the St. Johns Railroad for St.
Augustine. This ancient city is reached at
half-past ten, and you have ample time to see
the Cathedral, old fort, Indians sea wall, date
palm, and other sights, and dine at the Flori
da Hotel before three o’clock, at which time
you take the return train for Tocoi, connecting
with the steamer Hampton, and arriving at
Jacksonville at half-past seven. Another
night at the Grand National Hotel, which is
situated as near the passenger depot and the
steamboat landing as to obviate the necessity
as well as the expense of hack hire or omnibus
fares, thoroughly rests you for a start at 7:45
a.m. Friday, in a through palace car, via Jessup
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST.
and Macon, for Atlanta, reaching the latter city
at 2 o’clock Saturday afternoon. By this pro
gramme, the trip can be accomplished in eight
hours less than eight days at the following cost:
Railroad fare, Atlanta to Jacksonville,
$lB 65; meals en route —three, $2 25; Grand
National bill two nights, 4 meals, $6 00; Star
light fare to Mellonville, $9 00; boat to Harts’
Grove, 50 cents; carriage, Sandford to Mellon
ville, $3 00; supper at Orange House, 75
cents; Starlight fare to Patalka, $0 00; lodg
ing and breakfast at Patalka, $2 00 ; Pastime
fare to Tocoi, $1 00 ; railroad fare to St.
Augustine, $200; dinner at St Augustine,
$1 00; carriage hire at St. Augustine, $3 00;
railroad fare to Tocoi, $2 00; Hampton fare
Tocoi to Jacksonville, $2 00; supper on
Hampton, $1 00; lodging and breakfast at
Grand National, $2 00; railroad fare to At
lanta, $lB 05; three meals en route, $2 25;
fruit, porters and waiters, $5 00; total, SB7 05.
The start should be made on Friday or Sat
urday, so as to connect with Starlight, Mon
day or on Tuesday, to connect with the same
boat on its Thursday trip. By starting Satur
day night, the trip can be made in less than a
week, but requires Sunday traveling, and a
lay over of seven hours at Jessup, which is
avoided by starting Friday or Tuesday. The
route via Macon and Jessup runs through cars
from Atlanta to Jacksonville.
The other route is via Augusta, Yamassee
(Magnolia line) and Savannah. By this route
passengers leave Atlanta at 12 o’clock noon,
going through Jp Savannah in a Pullman Pal
ace car without change. At Savannah, the
change into a through parlor or sleeping car
from the Atlanta sleeper is made across a
twelve foot platform. Leaving Atlanta by this
route at 12 o’clock noon, you reach Jackson
ville the next evening at 10:15, or by leaving
at 10:30, J'.m. (the route runs a double daily)
you reach Jacksonville the second morning at
7:45. This line sells round trip tickets at
$27 30, which reduces the expense from SB7 05,
as given above, to $77 05. The idea is to so time
your departure from Atlanta as to strike the
Starlight on its Monday or Thursday trip. It
leaves Jacksonville at 9 A. m., and its gentle
manly agent, Walter Coleman, will treat you
like a prince.
K. I). Mann, No. 4, Kimball House, Atlan
ta, sells tickets by both routes, and will be
found a most accommodating and well inform
ed gentleman by those who desire any further
information on the subject.

OBITUARIES;
GLAIZE Mr. Grant Glaize, of Lincoln coun
ty, Ga., died Sunday night, the 9th instant, lio
was in his 77th year.
He embraced the Christian religion in early
life, and joined the Goshen Baptist church. He
was afterwards ordained deacon. But few men
have lived a more exemplary life than did this
agod saint.
KENDRICK—Robert Edwin, oldest son of
brother Robert S. and sister Mary A. Kendrick,
was killed by the terrible cyolone of May Ist,
1875, near Valley Grove Churoh, Talbot county,
Georgia.
He was born Doeomber 14th, 1865, and was,
therefore, in his tenth year. Dear Eddie was
remarkable for his truthfulness, liiß obedience
to hiß parents, and his affectionate disposition.
He was a member of the Sabbalb-scUool at Val
ley Grove Church. I have never known a moro
promising, or a more lovable child than he was.
lie gave cvideuce of a change of heart and of
love for Jesus. Wo believe he has gone from
the sorrows of earth to the joys of Heaven.

Thomaston, Ga., Jan. 17, 1876.
LITTLE.—Died at Louisville, Ga., January
6th, 1876, Mrs. Rosa Little, wife of Mr. William
Little, in the 21st year of her age.
Mrs. Little had been for some years a member
of the Baptist Church, and was an earnest,
pious Christian, and tho last articulate words
uttered by her wero these, “All is well." With
ont a struggle, she passed away, and was at
rest. Although it had been but a brief year
since she stood a happy bride at the altar,
but a single month since she stood bv the grave
of her only child, and although she' had many
“wearisome days and nights of pain.” no mur
mur eve - passed her lips, and although to human
eyes it did seem hard to part with a husband al
ready stricken, from a widowed and aged mother,
and from a wide circle of friends, well-beloved,
yet the same calm assurance which had distin
guished her in life was present in her death,
and its language was not “my will, but Thine be
done.” While it is true that death has again
been victorious, and the grave claimed another
victim, yet we know that “the righteous hath
hope in His death,” and although separated
here, there is another world where friends do
not part, and families are never sundered,
where there is no death, and no grave. To this
blessed abode we point them, with the prayer
that they, too, may be able to say, when they
stand at last in the presence of death, “All is
"'oil.” j. c. G.

Strengthening the Hold on Life.
Life is dear to most, if not all of us, and those
whose tenure of it is rendered uncertain by fee
ble health, would gladly strengthen their hold
upon existence. The best advice that can be
given to the debilitated, is to in-’igorate with
that sovereign vitalizer, Ilostetter’s Stomach Bit
ters, which fertilizes the blood by ensuring com
plete nutrition, and is an excellent remedy for
these maladies which are the main causes of
physical weakness. Indigestion, inactivity of
the liver, urinary troubles, rheumatic complaints,
and many other ailments and disabilities are
speedily coaquered by this safe, prompt and
agreeable corrective tonic, which is, besides, a
reliable preventive of chills and fever, and oth
er malarial disorders, counteracts the effects of
fatigue and exposure, and is a beneficial solace
to the aged and infirm.

THE WEEKLY SUN.
U 776. NEW YORK. 1876.
Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the Cen
tenuial yoar. It is also the year in which an
Opposition House of Representatives, the first
since the war, will be in power at Washington ;
and the .year of a twenty-third election of a
President of the United States. All of these
events are sure to be of great interest and im
portance, especially the two latter ; and all of
them, and everything connected with them, will
be fully and freshly reported and expounded in
The Sun.
.he Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up the line of inquiry opened years ago
by The Sun, will sternly and diligentlv investi
gate the corruptions and misdeods of Giiant’s
administration; and will, it is to be hoped, lay
the foundation for anew and better period in our
national history. Of all this The Sun will con
tain complete and accurate accounts, furnishing
its readers with early and trustworthy informa
tion upon these absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election, with
the preparations for it. will be memorable as
deciding upon Ghant s aspirations for a third
term of power and plunder, and still more as
deciding who shall be the candidate of the party
of Reform, and as electing that candidate. Con
cerning all these subjects, those who read Thh
Sun will have the constant moans of being
thoroughly well informed.
The Weekly Scn, which has attained a circu
lation of over eighty thousand copies, already
has its readers in every State and Territory, and
we trust that the year 1876 will see their num
bers doubled. It will continue to be a thorough
newspaper. All the general news of the day will
be found in it, condensed when unimportant,
at full length when of moment; and alwayß, we
trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instruc
tive manner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the
best family newspaper in the world, and we shall
continue to give iu its columns a large amount
of miscellaneous reading, such as stories, tales,
poems, scientific intelligence and agricultural
information, for which we are not able to make
room in our daily edition. The agricultural de
partment especially is one of its prominent
features. The fashions are also regularly re
ported in its columns ; and so are the markets
of every kind.
The Weekly Sun. eight pages with fifty-six
broad columns, is only $1.20 a year, postage
prepaid. As this prioe barely repays the cost of
the paper, no discount can be made from this
rate to clubs, agents, postmasters, or anyone.
The Daily Sun, a large four-page newspaper
of twenty-eight columns, gives all the news for
two cents a copy. Subscription, postage prepaid,
55 cents a month, or $6.50 a year. Sunday edi
tion extra, sl.lO per year. We have no travel
ing agents. Address
