Hkv. Geohuk \V. W. Stone, I).
I). died tit his residence at Oxford,
I Friday afternoon, Aug. 30.
Ur. Stone was graduated front Em
ory College in 18-12, and engaged in
the work of Christian Education at
once. For short periods he taught at
| Cokesbury, S. C., and at Wesleyan
l Female College, Macon, (la., hut
nearly all his life since his graduation
has been devoted to his own ALMA MA
ti:k, whom lie has aided to cherish
and send forth thousands of honora
hie sons, each one of whom now liv
ing will feel that he lias lost a true
and earuerst personal friend in the
dentil of tliis good Ilian.
Dr. Stone was a man of uiiusua]
worth. A purer, more guileless man
J have never known, uor one possess
ing more of that rare type of courage
of which the best expression is con
sistency. He was a truly conserva
tive man ; —not what the world calls
conservative, hy which term is meant
either lack of clear-cut convictions or
want of courage to maintain them, —
hut conservative in the sense that he
saw just what was good for society
and not suffering him to be led into
excess of enthusiasm on the one hand,
or to be frightened into inaction on
tlie other, quietly and persistently la
bored for the good.
Dr. Stone was a holy man. Wheth
er he ever professed sanctification I
do not know—nor care to know. He
lived it. He loved God, loved his
fellow men, loved what was pure, and
right, and good. He walked with
God, and evidently enjoyed His com
panionship. He was earnest and con
tinuous in hiseffort to induce otlieis
to do likewise, and how successful
hundreds of his former pupil* who
were won to Jesus hy the force of his
godliness can testify.
Newton county never lost a more
valuable citizen than Dr. Stone. —
Such men are the “salt of the earth.”
Learned without ostentation, brave
without boasting, strong without noisy
movement, pious without cant, a mod
el father, tin almost uneqpaled in
structor, a wise counsellor, lie .was in
deed a man among men--such as we
will do well to teach our children to
honor. W- H. L.
DEATH'S SAD ROLL.
The death of Presley Christian, at
Salem Camp ground on Thursday
last, brought sadness to many hearts.
On Sunday before he was taken with
something like vertigo and grew worse
until the hour of his death. He was
a son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Ram
sey, of Stansell’s district, and was a
bright and promising youth, being
about 13 years old. The sympathies
of tlie entire county are with tlielov
ing parents in their hours of sore be
reavement.
WISE AND OTHERWISE
Miss Maud Lee has returned from
a pleasant visit to friends in Chatta
nooga, Lookout Mountain and Atlan
ta. ~She is looking exceedingly well.
Dr. J. J. Bearing left on a visit to
Porter Springs, Saturday. We hope
this good ryan will have a pleasant
time, regain his health and strength
during his absence from friends and
loved ones here.
We return thanks to Mr. Henry W.
Grady for a pressing invitation to
speiyd two weeks in the \vest, at Ins
expense, and regret that circumstances
prevented an acceptance of his gen
erous kindness.
The Woman's Missionary Society
will hold their, regular monthly meet
ing in the M. E. Church here Friday
afternoon at 4p. m. A full atten
dance is earnestly requested. Let ev
ery member he present.
A negro boy by the name ot I* loyd
Sanford struck another colored boy
by the name of Pleas W yatt over the
head with a hoe, Friday last. Wyatt
died Sunday night. Sanford is in
jail. The affair came off in Hays
district.
Lvov. Tony Laker has been holding
services at the colored llaptist church
j for three weeks and will baptize 22
new members on next Sunday at 10
a. m., in Dried Indian creek, on Me

“It goes right to the spot,” said fln
old gentleman, who found great ben

Card .from Col.'Livingston.
p'rom the Covington Star. ]
The following card from Col. 1,. P\ Living
ston has been sent to the Macon Telegraph,
and wjll appear in tliat paper to-morrow. It
is a reply to the interview in the Telegraph of
August 30th, charging Cot Livingston will)
having placed the Fanners’ Alliance in a false
position in regard to the race for governor.
The sard speaks far itself, and needs no com
ment from us :
Cos A, Ga., Sept. 2, 1889.
Mr. Editor : In yogr issue of August 30,
is an interview with several altiancemcn touch
ing my candidacy for governor, in which you
assert “ that in spite of this fact Col. Living
ston’s announcement of his candidacy on the
very heels of his election JS president of the
State Alliance had left the impression on the
minds of the general public that the Alliance
had endorsed him for the high office.”
Now, Mr. Editor, J have not announced my
candidacy for governor, nor have I authorized
anyone to do so for me ; and if in the future I
see proper to announce for any office in the
gift of the people, I will do so over my own
signature, and in doing so, will not compro
mise or embarrass any person or enterprise
with whom or which I an? connected
Please let this suttee and answer once for all
as to my candidacy.

Do the work of moral suasion; lift

depend upon il, there will lie no man
more earnest than you in nn efibrt to
make the sty-eels Bale for tlie men

a Christian heart, who has wept and
prayed over the victim of intemper
ance, and has succeeded in elevating!
him into the image of God ; no man
trembles more than that matt when he i
sends him forth to Ins daily work to
rnn tho gauntlet of the legalized grog j
shops that lie in his path. No mat-1
ter what that man's theory may have

So long ns the liquor traffic is li
censed hy the government a large
portion of the people will believe it
right to sell liquor. There are thou- ■
eatids of our citizens who regulate the
ideas of right and wrong hy what the
laws of the land allow. If they keep
inside of the law they deem them
selves jierfeetly justifiable. Of the
higher moral law they think little and
care less. They pn-li their inquiry
only to the point of statute taw, ami
take that as their moral standard. To
all such, license will make the liquor
traffic seem right.—Conflict.
