me on the hiioibs of sweet deliverence Farewell, Zions Footman. Far the Excelsior Novra. A Colored School. Brown’s Chapel ) Mr. Editor Bulloch Co. Gt. \ We drop our little live paper a f ew lines to let onr colored friends of the reopening of onr sohool f or this year. We commenced teaching about April 1st, and are teaching a public and an independent school comhiued, through the influence <>f onr County School Commissioner, Mr. M. C. Jones, I think his proposition is wise one, for one reason : Those children t.hat can come the first quarter can not come the next quarter, and tho*e that can come the second quarter can not possibly come dow. We have a good school, but not very many students, but a very good teacher, and if we can get our roil to attend our Sunday and day school, whero they can hear onr good ures against doing wrong and trying to civilize ourselves and be a respect, able race of people. If we will go to school to competent teachers who are able to instruct us against telling lies and immoral habits that our peo¬ ple are so much addicted to, we will not have ro many convict.- and men ' to be huug soon, among the colored race. Mr. Editor I read all the t-sting articles that come out once . t week in the ftxttknor Ntw* to my school, and I think they are very in- foresting. 1 wish that my race could hear of all those men that are to be huug. an ndoounl of which I saw m the Nat**, and I believe they would t»ke warning aud do better. Mr. E litor, this is tlie first Article that I ever wrote for this paper, and I want you to correct all errors and print it. Your true friend ami colored teach- er, S. D. Scroggins. A. Supnrb Family Bible. One of the most remarkable feat u»*es of the book-trade is the enor¬ mous sales of Bibles. The demand is Chiefly for largi Illustrated Family Bibles, for, strange as it may seem, t here lire many families who do uot possess such a bible. Prominent among the publishers who iiave recognized this demand is The National Publishing Company, of Philadelphia. Chicago, St. Louis aud Dayton, to whose supi-rb edition of the Sacred Scriptures we desire to call attention. The binding of their magnificent Bibles first claims our attention. It is rich, beautiful, and .substantial. As our readers well kuow. a Bible may be very showily bound, and yet put. together so ftimsily that it will come to.pipqes in a few years. Al- though^coyered with showey stamps and apparently well bound, the work may be in silch a loose and un¬ substantial manner that with only ordinary bundling it wi'l crack and finally tall to pieces. This Bible is made upon a very different plan. Only the btBt materials are used in its manufacture, and all the work is done by the beBt of workmen, and the most highly improved machinery. Every stage of the work is carefully supervised. It would be impossible to devise a plan by which greater care could be given to the manufac¬ ture of Bibles or by which the inter¬ est of subscribers could be more care- fully guar led. The publishers have a high reputation to maintain, and they are detatmined to maintain it. ^hey realize the tact that a family Bible may be subjected to very hard usage, and must be bound snbstan- tially as will as handsomely. The additional matter is very rich and complete. The leading feature is a slightly abridged edition of Dr. Win. Smith's Dictionary of the Bible. Ttl8 ‘ 8 wily a ‘compl* ,e work in it; ' self, and would make an octavo vol- mini of over six hundred pages. Another valuable feature is a His¬ tory of all the existing Rt hgious De¬ nominations of the World, and the vinous sects, both ancient and mod- crn * Thi se accounts are clear, cor»- °' st ‘ and C0I,1 P I rliensive. Th « additional matUr ’ wh,, h aC ‘ companies the books of the Bible is ver Y and interesting. A, large 8t Ct,on is devoted to a collection of Scripture illustrations, consisting of a series of articles exhibiting and il¬ lustrating the Manners and Customs of the Period, Biblical Antiquities and Scenery. The Animals of the Bible aie carefully described, as are also the trees, plants, flowers, etc..re¬ ferred to in the Scriptures, each b ing th* subject of spirited and life-like engravings. The Wanderings in the Vr ilderuess, the Tabernacle and Tem- pie are described with great minute- ness of detail. These explanations and the maps and plans which accom¬ pany them are of gn at value to eve¬ ry reader of the. Bible. A topo¬ graphical sketch of Jerusalem is giv¬ en, aud the cities and towns men¬ tioned in the Bible a-e also described. It is impos ihle to enumerate all the valuable features in » notice like this. They constitute a complete encyelo- ptedia ofBit'le knowledge, and pre¬ sent to the readi r all the inform-tioii and explan it ion a he can desire, The work is literal y library in itself, and is published iu both English and German. •• - i0 - Jt is magnificently illu-frated. The larger plates consist of exquisite steel engravings, and a number superb designs by the greatest living arti>t, Gustave Dore. The addition- al matter contains over two slionsnnd fine illustrations and maps. Nearly everyplace and object of interest mentioned in the Scriptures is shown in this collection. The Family Record is beautifully lithographed ; aud facing it is a mag¬ nificent marriage cer tificate, a feature which makes this Bible a very appro¬ priate and desirable wedding present. At the dose of the volume is a hand¬ some photograph album, with spaces foi* sixteen portraits, a novel and ap¬ propriate addition to a Family Bible. The price is astonishingly low, and within the means of every family. We advise our readers to examine th s great Bible. It is sold by sub¬ scription only, and KEY A. A. AN¬ DREWS, who is the authorized agent for Appling County, is now canvass ing for it. AntoagOm* Exchange*. The Sav. iVeua infers us that Eli M’cGee of Screven Co., and er of Col. H. J.
