Crop Pit sp CT3.—Our cotton crop is not tn ning out near so well in this section ns was expected; the lint is fine, but the yield will be light; much less, as we ar' informed, in inanv Instances than it was last year, and notwithstanding the very favorable season fur opening and picking. ——-——— ■ —— By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that Mrs. Sharp, of Decatur, has taken charge of the Clark House, 43 j Whitehall street, Atlanta, Ga.

A BIG DINNER AND THE MOST ENJOY- ABLE SOCIABLE OF THE SEASON — MUSIC —WIT —BEAUTY. Last Saturday was another festival day with the people of Norcross. 'I he young ladies of the High School, together with the ladies of the town, determined to give Prof. Vincent a complimentary dinner. A programme was arranged, and the whole town co-operated to make the dinner a recherche affair. At 11 o’clock the bell rang, and young and old found their way to the Academy,, where they were greeted by the entrancing tones of the organ and the happy, ringing voices of Mrs. Norryce’s most excellent choir of young men and ladies. At the close of two excellent pieces of music, played and sung as only Mis. Norryce and her class can sing and play, Prof. Vincent was called and delivered an address on “ Woman’s Mission. ” The address was listened to with deep interest, and every lady in the hall seemed to feel that they were under o''ligations to Prof. Vincent for the high estimate he paid to woman. Let them all remember the noble words so nobly spoken in praise of their mission through life, and we bespeak for them that station in society which the women of oiir sunny land has held so long. At the close of the address, Mr. Robert B. Trippe was called, and created laughter by his extempore witty remarks. Others were called upon; among them the genial and affable instructress of the musical and art department of Norcross High School, Mrs. L. C. Norryce, who arose and thanked Prof. Vincent for the high tribute he paid to woman. She felt that it was the duty of every young lady in the room to rise and thank him. Then came more music, after which a committee of lathes repaired to the room down stairs, while the crowd up stairs amused themselves con versing, promenading and playing the innocent and enjoyable games of olden times. At 11 o’clock a voice rang out, “Gather your partners for dinner,” and immediately every young man had a beauty clinging to his arm, and was making his way down the stair-way into the large room, where were spread two large tables laden with the most delicious viands Every taste, however fastidious, found what it wished, and that in abundance. There was not ing lacking, and well might Prof. Vincant feel proud of the great honor the ladies did him on that occasion. Ye local could see that his big heart swelled with pleasurable emotions as he moved among the gay tlirong that passed about him. To him in his abiding sad bereavement, that occasion seemed like a blooming oasis—like a return to the happy days, of not long ago, when I nis heart b at high in th? consciousness of | the endearing unalloyed love of his ainia i hie, b au'iful and happy wife. How thoughtful of man’s salm-ss is woman: ■ what encouragement Iter little acts of kind i ness give c.trc worn man when be is bereft of his heart’s idols and his life seems : worthless emptiness! At 7 o’clock ia the evening the gallin', beaux began to throng the Chapel room with the fair of our little town, and in a short time the hall was filled with the beauty and elite of Norcross. Then began the Sociable, which passed off as “ merry as a marriage b 11.” Everybody, old and young, seemed to enjoy themaelvft, and regret that the time for dismissal—ten o’clock—was fast approaching. At precisely 10 o’clock the “whistle” sounded, when all arose to their feet to take their departure for their homes, and there to dream of the happy events of the day. THE ACCIDENT ON THE AIR-LINE! A PASSENGER COACH SMASHED. NOBODY KILLED. On last Satunlay morning the accommoda tion train, with one passenger coach in the rear, pa»*d up the Air-Line in front of the gravel train. It was early, and the morn ing was very foggy. About two and a half miles above here the accomm'xlation train stopped for wood, the conductor failing to send back any flagman to notify the gravel train that he had stopped. The train ran on at its usual rate, and, not see ing the train in front until too late, ran right through the passenger coach, literally tore it to pieces, and scattered it on both sides of the track. It is miraculous that not one of the many pasea'ngers was killed. They were thrown on both sides of the track. Some were slightly scratched and bruised, and some were not hurt at all. Two of the High School l-oys, M. Strick land and Ivison Gilbert, were aboard. Strickland saw the train coming in time to jump off. Gilbert was pitched down the embankment and slightly bruised. The engine of the gravel train was almost wrecked, and the engin ‘er, Mr. John Snow, received injuria to bis head, though not serious. The rubbish was soon brought down and switched off al Norcross, aud traiur ran as usuaL. , Habits.—Like Hakes i fall unperceived upon the seemingly unimportMut events of life succeed one another. As j the snow galhei> together, so are our habits formed. JNo single flake that is added to the pile produces a sensible change; uo single action denies, however it mav exhibit a marts character: but as the tempest hurls the avalanche down the mountains, and overwhelms the inhabitant and his habitation, as passion, act ing upon t he elements ot mischief. which pernicious habits have brought together by impercepti ble accumulation, may overthrow the dhtice of virtue and truth.— ./«i • ts /lent COPPERAS BREECHES ERA. With one eye on the preacher and the other on the congregation, and a divided heart on last Sabbath, we were driven to the conclusion that the people are buying too mu.h silk and too little calico. A strang r, dropping out of the clouds into a Georgia congregation, assembled at 11 o’clock Sunday for divine service, would conclude that he had fallen into Midas family, where everything was converted into gold, judg ng by the fine clothes on exhibition. Plain old George Washington, getting up from his grave and looking over his splendidly dressed descendants, would never suppose that negroes were free, lands mortgaged and the country bankrupted. Calico was nice enough for Martha W ash ington when she controlled six hundred negroes, and had a landed estate worth $75,000, but her great grand children, without a foot of land or a negro, feel dis graced on the street unless they are trailing in silk. And th sis progress ! We have to pro gress backwards if we save bacon enough for subsistence. Ihe copperas breeches era must be inaugurated anew; and, being poor, we must live like poor people and have poor people’s ways, or starve. Mer chants, and everybody, will be bettei off, and crime will decrease, confidence be re stored, health will be regained and heaven rendered doubly certain.-West Point News. A BLUSH. What is there more mysterious than a blush, that a single word or look or thought should send that inimitable carnation over the cheek like the soft tints of summer sunset! Strange it is also that the human face is capable of blushing, that the hand or foot does not turn red with modesty or shame any more than the glove or sock that covers them. It is the face that is in heaven. The blush of modesty that tinted woman’s face when she awoke in Eden's sunny land still lingers with her fair daugh ters. They caught it from the rose, for all roses were first white; but when Eve plucked one, the bud seeing her own fair face—more fair than the flowers—blushed and cast its reflex on her velvet cheek. The face is the tablet of the soul, wherein it writes its actions. There may be traced all the intellectu d phenomena with a confi dence amounting to a moral certainty. If innocence and purity 1 ok outward fr m within, none the less do vice, intemperance and debauchery make their indeliible im pressions upon it. Idiocy, rage, co wa. dice and passion leave their traces deeper even than the virtues of modesty, truth, chastity and hope. Even beauty grows more beau tiful from the pure thoughts that arise within it. ATLANTA MARKET REPORTS.

And, as we hon •stly believe, that the first and chief care ifall CTifistlans should be to defend our . lioly religion against the wiles of Satan— ii- hosts and taeir arms, we will discharge this sacred duty, as best we can, under the guidance of Him who is able to direct and keep us hi the way of truth. i We will also studiously avoid giving ; cause ol ofieuse to any professed Christian on account of difference of opinion, aud will not, through this medium, attempt to 1 build up any one branch of the Church more than others, nor to injure any one of ' them. ■ OUR PLATFORM. We believe that there is a per ' soiial God—who created and over rules all things—that Jesus Christ is His Son and our Savior, and that the Holy Ghost, is His messenger and our instructor. That the Bible was written by inspiration of God—is true —and s the only safe foundation for I Christian faith and practice. That the soul is imniortab—tbn there will be a resurrection of th< dead and fina l judgment, and that the punishment of the unre j deemed will be eternal. And will insist, that all who agree in th* ?<•: uudamenla! propo sitions.and *eek sa h at ion through Christ, constitute his Church, and should all unite and co-operate with Him, and each other, in the sacred work of redemption, as an affectionate family of brothers and sisters.
