Oh! living were a bitter thing,
A riddle without reasons.
If each sat lonely, gathering
Within hie own heart’s narrow ring
nd fears encumbering
of earthly seasons.
The hopes ai
The flight
Thank God! that in life’s early day.
Between our dawn and setting,
We have kind words to give away,
Sad hearts for which our own may prey.
And strength when we are wronged to
Forgiving
and forgetting.
Thank God! for other feet that be
By ours in life’s wayfaring;
For blessed Christian charity,
Believing when she cannot see
Suffering her Mend’s infirmity,
Enduring and forbearing.
We all are are travellers who throng
A thorny way together:
And If some pilgrims not so strong
As I, but fbotsore, does me wrong.
I'll make excuse; the read’s so long.
And stormy is the weather.
What comfort will It yield, the day
Whose light shaB find os dying,
To know that once we had our way
Against a child of weaker clay
And bought our triumph in the fray
With purchase of hla sighing f
Most like our Lord are they who bear
Like him, long with the sinner;
The music of long-suffering prayer
•down God’s golden stair,
rihrough Olivet's darkened air
Who saw our first
Georgia’s Fruit-Growers.
ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE OEOEOIA
STATE HOBTICULTURAL SOCIETY IN
ATLANTA, AUQUST 8kD AND 4tH, AC-
OOMFAXIED ET AN EXHIBITION OF
OEOEOIA FRUITS.
Atlanta Constitution.]
The fruit-growing interests of
Georgia have assumed such propor
tions within the last few years that
the convention of thia society, which
was organized in 1876, is important,
in view of its influence upon this
growing productive industry. Geor
gia has peculiarities of soil and cli
mate which giro her commanding
advantages. The objects of this so
ciety are to induce our people to
avail themselves of these advantages,
and to supply the information nec
essary to make fruit-growing both
for market and home consumption
profitable.
It bolds its convention and exhlbi
tion this year for the first time in At
lanta, and though the fruit crop of
the State is comparatively a failure,
a creditable exhibition is expected.
The conventions arc usually compos
ed of the most advanced practical
fruit-growers and the discussions in
tensely interesting and instructive.
With their usual liberality, the ex
press company have agreed^ to trans
port all frnits, flowers and vegetables
intended for the exhibition free of
charge. Packages should be ad
dressed tp Colonel R. J. Wilson, and
tpgykcd for the "Horticultural Socie
ty.” 441 such shipments should
peach Atlanta Monday evening, the
2d, or early Tuesday morning, the
3d of August. All the railroads lead
ing to Atlanta have agreed to cany
members and delegates at reduced
rates. Parties having valuable fruits,
the names of which are not known
should send specimens to the exhibi
tion and have them named. Many
valuable seedlings have been grown
and passed away without being pro-
pagated. This society has already
done mnch good by imparting roijiL-
ble and valuable information amh.ali
who cultivate fruits successfully
should avail themselves of itp. advan
tages by attending its conventions
and exhibitions, and becoming^ nxem-
bers of the society. Amateur, fruit
growers around the city apd along
the numerous roads leading to the
city should attend the convention and
contribute to the exhibition. Atlan
ta ie becoming famous for her beau
tiful flower yards. The ladies of the i
city can contribute to the attractive
ness of the exhibition by displacing
their bouquets of cut flowers or or
namental pot plants.
The Atlanta pomoiogleal 1 . society,
with their accustomed enterprise and
public spirit, have appointed com
mittees to arrange foe tile-accommo
dation of the convention and exhibi
tion and for the- reception and ar
rangement of the display.
This society meets one day before
the assembling of the democratic
convention. The delegates to the
latter will be amply compensated for
the time and expense involved in
coming one day earlier, and attend
ing the sittings of the fruit-growers.
The citizens of Atlanta and vicini
ty, and especially the ladies, arc in
vited to attend the convention ind
exhibition. Those who attended the
exhibition of fruits by the Atlanta
pomologies! society at Janie's hall
last August, will find a still greater
treat in the exhibition of the state so
ciety on the 3rd and 4th of August.
Let (be citizens of Atlanta show their
appreciation of a blending of the
useful and beautiful by contributions
to and attendance upon tlic exhibi
tion of fruits, flowers anil vegetables.

We are determined to keep the NEWS fairly up with the progress of the day
to furnish the reading peoplo of this section s live, progressive bi-weekly journal,
ardl therefore announce
The Albany Tri-Weekly News!
The fierce political campaign through which wo are to pan, both National
and State, will be one of unusual interest lo all classes, and a weekly newspaper
will be an insufficient conveyance to carry lo the peoplo Intelligence ol the mo-
mentous issues involved. The TRI WEEKLY Is sufficiently large to present si
taels and a careful resume of Uie news of the day, which wo propose to do in a carefu
and energetic manner. *
We shall at once make arrangements by which we shall be enabled to present to
oor readers special telegraphic reports of the more important matters at the Capital
and elsewhere, and arc determined that each issue shall be fresh and newsy.
The subscription price of the TRL.WEBKLY NEWS is $1 for the campaign.
Its continence after the expiration of that time will depend upon the encouragement
we receive for the enterprise. Unexpired subscriptions to the WEEKLY will be
furnished the Thursday's edition of the TKI-WEEKLYi Advertisements will be
inserted at an advance of only 33 1-3 per cent over oar weekly rales.
With a firm reliance in the enterprise and liberality of the people of Albany and
Boutliweat Georgia, and re affirming our purpose to serve tbelr beet interests, we
hereby cut loose from the Weeelt moot logs, and announce The Albaht Thi.
Weekly News.
We earnestly ask the encouragement and assistance of our friends throughout
Southwest Georgia.
