Gathered to His Fathers.— lt becomes our
painful duty lo record the death of one of our
oldest and most respected citizens, Mr. John J.
Dews, who died at Tils residence on the 24 th ult.
Mr. Dews was bom in Savannah iu the year
1196, and was consequently seventy-five years of
age at his death. He was, for a series of years.
Sheriff of Chatham county, which position he
fllied with credit to himself and the entire satis
faction of his constituents. He has lived out his
three score Jyeara and ten, aye more, without re
proach and without blame. He has been a con
sistent and leading member of the Baptist Church
at this place for some time. Mr. Dews leaves a
large and interesting family to mourn his loss, to
whom we tender our sympathies.
Pkbachino at Ephesus.— On last Sunday, the
Primalive Baptist Church, at Ephesus closed its
three days services.” Some of the leading and
most talented ministers of that denomination wore
present on Sunday, and officiated.
Elder J. W. Bassett opened the morning services
with one of the finest sermons that it haA been our
privilege to bear in some time. His remark* wore
founded upon the text, “ If we believe not, yet
he abideih faithful; hu cannot deny himself”—
Titus ii. 14. Elder John M. Fields followed in a
very able, orthodox sermon, founded on the text,
“ For I Ue f erraiued not to know anything among
you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.”—l
Cor. 11. 2. This closed the morning services.
The afternoon services wer6 commenced by
Elder D. S. Hitchcock in one of the moat wither
ering rebukes upon the practices and “new-fan*
gled” doctrines of modern Christians, that we
have heard In many days. At the closing services
on Sunday evening, we witnessed a most aflecting
exhibition of spiritual feeling. We regret that we
have not time and space to give a more minute
report of this interesting meeting.
Comimiiilcatioii.
Thb Difference.—We have been informed
that the Poor-house expenses of the County, for
the present year, will not be more than one half
as much as it has been ia former years. Many
other expenses of the County, such as building
bridges, etc., have also been reducod in nearly the
same proportion. This is due in a great measure
to our efficient and prudent County Commission
ers. The expenses of the county, will have been
reduced at least five thousand dollars for the pres
ent year. This we conceive to be the result of
the resistance made by the tax-payers during the
years 1871 aud ’73. With inch men running the
machinery of the County, sho will soon bo on a
solid financial basis—money in the treasury, and
she will be paying cash tor all she needs. *
Korhict.— lt was announced in the last issue
of this paper, ihtt no scarcity of locals was appre
hended, as the summer fights had commenced.
Sure enough, two “young bloods” had difficul
ties with a couple of the “wards of the nation,”
The first, on Wednesday, shot at a negro boy hut
missed him. The second, on Thursday, shot at
and hit a negro man in the leg. We are informed
that both difficulties was caused by the impudence
of the negroes, and as a matter of course they got
the worst of the fight.

A Headless Chicken.-Mt. J. H. Powers iufoims
us that while at Hopewell, in Crawford county,
last week, Capt. Robinson exhibited to him a liv
iug chicken without any sign of a head. The head
was severed from the neck on the 8d day of June.
The wounded part of the neck has cured up, and
gruel is passed into the craw by means of a small
tin funnel. Mr. P. asserts most positively that
his statements are true; and says that Capt. Rob
inson will pass tbrongh Forsyth next week en
route for Atlanta, where he proposes to exhibit
this great wonder.
A Fine Beet. -Whilst “>e local” was “ nosing”
around on last Thursday, bunting up a respecta
ble local, he accidentally wandered into the large
salesroom of Dsn. G. Proctor & Cos. There the
Major hsd ou exhibition a large beet, weighing
three and a half pounds and measuring twenty
one inches in circumference. The Mj. has a “cart
load of beets as large as this one." We gazed on
tbu beet “ wanungly,” and the Major, with his
usual cleverness, told us to “ take it and go in
peace." We went.
Homicide.— Last Sunday, on the plantation of
Mr. Mid Elder and Geo. W. Rhodes, Kit Brown
(col.) shot and killed Lindsey Johnson (col). The
weapon used was a doubie-barrell shot gnn; the
ball entered the center of the right tempie. We
have been nuable to collect the facta connected
with the shootiug, but will give a full statement
of them in our next issue. Kit Rrown is now
confined in jaiL
Is It Applicable?— The following is too go.d
to b psssed over, we therefore plsce it In this
column : “A clergy man was recently annoyed by
people talking and gigling. He paused, looked
at the disturbers, and said : “lam always afraid
to reprove those who misbehave, tor this reason :
Some years since as I waa preaching, a young
man, who sat directly before me, waa constantly
laughing, talking, and making uncouth grim
aces. I pans and and administered a severe rebake.
After the close of the service a gentleman said to
me. “Sir, you have made a great mistake. That
young man is an idiot.* Since that I have always
beau afraid to reprove those who misbehave
themselves in chapel lest I should reprove another
idiot. During the rest of the service there was
good order.
Letter From Decatur.
Editor Advertiser: I arrived heie Wednesday eve,
found the ettixens ready and walling for their nu
merons gues’.i, soon secured a pleasant home, and
have no doubt a brief report will interest a few,
if not many, of your readers. Services at night
were conducted by Rev. Walter R. Branham, bis
subject beiog that ot family government. The
text from which his remarks were made is found
in Prov. vL 27. Hi# remarks were clear and con
cise, setting forth the disinterestedness of parents
in raising their children, by allowing them to have
their own unsubdued will; neglecting lo set them
proper examples sround the family hearth-stone,
and submitting to them the powers of age,
without ever tutoring them to its proper use or
appreciation. Hi* advice to parents and Sabbath
schools was good, and preguant with much
meaning. He concluded his remarks by stating
that it should be a matter as earnestly sought for
by a Sabbath-school teacher, to meet.his class
every Sunday with as much grace iu his soul, as a
minister should have to meet his cODgregat^m;
and that all spiritual gifts, when practiced by ex
ample, were indeed as effectual as if expounded
from tbe pulpit.
On Thursday, at II a. m , the Rev. A. G. Hay
good, of Nashville, who is a man of great Sunday
school notoriety in the M. E. Church, entertained
us for about fifty-five minutes with a most excel
lent discourse. His text was John xv. I—9: “I
am the vine; ye are tbe branches,” etc. He com
pared and explained the relation of Christians to
Christ, of the Church to His kingdom. The union
between the soul of a Christian and Christ was
real and not imaginary, was vital and not mechan
ical. Found the sap essence of the vine to be the
vital part, and the dead branchea only tbe me
chanical ; so the soul with dead works waa not a
living sonl—possessed no vitality. Hence its re
lation to Christianity was only a mechanical one.
The union was a personal one, and the sacraments
and ordinances of the church have nothing to do
with the salvation of tbe sonl; if we only love and
trust Him as He commands. By illustrations he
proved that faith was not an arbitrary thing, and
that as our faith was, so was God’s promises; and
though it was as small as a mustard seed, It had
the germ of life, and its progress would be perma
nent. He tben explained tbe relations of Chris
tianity to the whole Divine administration, earth
ly and heavenly. He presented Christ’s Father,
who is tho Christians’ Father, as both the Father
and vine dresser individually. God’s province ia
to make the most of us, and if sorrows, afflictions
and bereavements come upon ns, we have no
more authority to question God’a providence in
it, than the vine has to question tbe application
of the pruning knife; and it was for us to know
that he brought good out of it. The soul grows
in grace, believes in Christ and obeys His word.
He showed tbe capabilities and expansion ot tbe
branches that abide in the vine; stating that he
believed there was no soul out of hell that might
not be joined to Christ, as he ever stands by to
administer bis gr-ice. The frfiit cannot produce
itself, but the vine with the assistance of the
earth, tbe sun and water, produces the luscious
fruit; and thus religion—the religion of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ—brings forth fruit
for our Father’s kingdom. Perfection is not re
quired to win the love of Jesns, no more than a
small vine is expected to yield a large amount of
fruit; and He, as He shinis on one, shines also on
another. TLe Christian is united to him, body
and soul, having an assurance that he shall ask
what he will and shall be given him. Love be
gets love, and as the “ Father hath loved me so
also do I love them that keep my command
ments.”
I am not able, In my present situation, to deal
aa extensively in the point* made in this sermon
as I would like, but I must treat all the exer
cises alike for the same cause.
On Thursday night the Rev. W. P. Cook gave a
brief explanation of the 2d and 31 verses of the 4th
chapter of the prophecy of Daniel. Dealing iu the
doctriue of the resurrection, its Bible progress,
and proof of Christ’s coming into the world to
redeem us from the curse of Adam. Ha closed by
advising parents to learn their children to em
brace this power, and the people to help the
preacher to preach, in order that God’s blessings
might prevail over the land, and short of that they
fell below HD expectations. They that turn many
to righteousness shine forever as the stars ; and as
one star differs from another, so shall the differ
ence of Christians be in the Immortal world.
I have other important items I would like to
give, but I must desist. The report of the spirit
ual condition of the churches to Friday Is good
and cheering. Finances prosperous. About one
half the heads of families hold family prayer;
Sunday-schools increasing in favor and Interest;
class and prayer meetings, in most chargee,
spaisely attended; houses or worship mostly in
good order. The preachers all seems to be alive
to their duty, and the entire report so far is en
couraging. B.

Thus another af God’s own has passed the ehi

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Tmk Career of a Great Remedy.— Twenty
summers have elapsed since it wes briefly an
nounced that anew vegetable tonic and alterative,
bearing the name of HosleLer’s Stomach Bitters,
had been added to the list of preventive restora
tive medicines. The modest advertisement which
invited attention to the preparation stated that
it had been used with great success in private
practice as a cure for dyspepsia, bilious com
plaints, constipation and intermittent fever. It
was soon discovered that the article possessed ex
traordinary properties. The people, of every
class, tested its merits as a tonic, stimulant, cor
rective and restorative, and found that its effects
more than fulfilled their hopes aud expectations.
From that time to the present its course has been
upward and onward, and it stands to day at the
head of all mediciues of its class, American or
imported, in the magnitude of its sales and its
reputation as a safe, agreeable and potent iavig
orant aud restorative. Far languor and debility,
lack of appetite and gastric disturbances so com
mon during the summer months it is absolutely
infallible. Indigestion, bilious disorders, consti
pation, nervousness, periodical fevers, and all the
ordinary complaints generated by a vitiated and
humid atmosphere, vanish under its renovating
and regulating influence. This is its record,
avouched by volumes of intelligent testimony, ex
tending over a period ot a filth of a century, and
comprehending the names of thousands of well
known citi*ena belonging to every class and call
ing. In Europe it is thought a great thing to ob
tain the patronage ot royaity for a “ pateut medi
cine.” but Hostetter’s Bitters bus beeu sponta
neously approved by millions of independent sov
ereigns, aud is patent consists in their endorse
ment.
To Kansas and Colorado.— During the sum
mer season ot 1873, the Missouri Pacific Railroad
will seil Excursion Tickets from St. Louia to
Denver and return at very low rates of fare, and a
rare opportunity is thereby oflered, for lovers of
nature to view the bounties of Colorado and enjoy
the delightful scenery and health-inspiring climate
of the Parks of the Rocky Mountains.
Kansas, with its broad and fertile plains, is di
rectly on the route, and together wi.h all the
ether Western States aud Territories, is reached
by the Missouri Pacific Railroad aud its connec
tions.
The Texas connection of this road is now com
pleted, and passengers are offered a first class all
rail route from St. Louis to Texas, either over the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas R. R., via Sedilia, or
or over the Atlantic and Pacific R. It., via Vinila.
For maps, time tables, information as to rates,
