A meeting of the Executive Com mittee of the Greene County Sabbath School Association was held at the Court House on the 14th inst. Capt. W. H. Branch, President, in the chair, and E. C. Kinnebrew acting as Secre tary. The Committee determined to have a County Sunday School celebration on the [loth of September at this place, and Capt. Branch was appointed to procure Floral Hall for that purpose. The various schools will rendezvous at the Methodist Church at 9J o’clock, a. m., and proceed thence to the Fair Grounds, where the exercises will be gin promptly at 10 o’clock. We have been requested to publish the following PROGRAMME: Exercises to begin at 10 o'clock. Song of Welcome by Greenesboro’ School. Response by all the Schools, “Wo Come with Glad Acclaim,” (Bright Jewels). Prayer by Rev. F. G. Hughes. Singing by all the schools, “ Work for the Night is Coming ” Address by Rev. • Sing ing by all the schools, “ Revive us Again,” (Pure Gold). Reports of the schools. Singing by all the schools, “ Come to the Saviour,” (Amaranth). Intermission of half an hour for basket dinner. Fifteen minutes allowed each school for such exercises as they think proper —order determined by lot—two or more schools to unite if they prefer. J3ong by all the schools, “ Let us Meet in Heaven,” (Royal Diadem). Bene diction. CASH YS. CRFIHT. A Rlovv nt the Old Prwhntion ary System of I lie Meth odist Clnirch. In the course of a doctrinal sermon preached by a sable biAthcr before the Colored Baptist Association on last Sabbath, the reverend gentleman drew a contrast between the Baptist and Methodist churches—denominating the former the cash system and the latter the credit system of religion, and in illustration of his position related the following incident: Some years ago a man ’fessed ’ligion, and ’plied to jine de Baptis’ church. He gin in his ’sperience and was ’ject ed. So he went right straight and jined do Mefodis’. Sometime after dat a brudder Baptis’ axed him : How dis, we wouldn’t hab you and de Mefodis’ done tuk you?” “ O,” said he, “ you dam old Baptis’ want to make me pay de cash down, and, you see, de Mefodis’ gin me six munts credick.” County Tax. As appears from a notice published in another column by Judge Thornton, the County tax for the present year is 70 per cent, on the State tax. This is a considerable decrease from the two years preceding. In 1873 it was 100 per cent., and in 1874, 80 per cent, on the State tax. The tax would have been considerably less, had it not been that the Board of Education, upon recommendation of the Grand Jury, insisted on a special levy for school purposes. As the tax payers receive the direct benefit of the school tax, cer tainly they can not complain. Upon Judge Thornton’s accession to office, the county was largely in debt. Under his able administration the cur rent’expenses of the county have been regularly and promptly met, and the debt almost extinguished. This year’s tax will liquidate the balance and the people can then breathe easier. Harguins! ISargaius! Uargains! At Hightower’s old stand. •am-* 9m [for the herald.] UlSSimilklNG. Many persons in the world to all appearances sail along smoothly over life’s tempestuous ocean, but they go under false colors. In other words they manage to make a good impression on society and maintain a respectable appearance, when their hearts are wrong and their secret lives are tarnished with crime. “ All is not gold that glitters.” The baser metals under the hand of the skilled artisan may be made to please and even deceive the unpractised eye, but they lack the clink and genuineness of the pure metal and are rejected as spurious. Thus among men, not unfrequently, we find those who by their dress and the sauvity of their manners pass quite currently, for a while, in good society, but when subjected to the crucible they are found wanting in the requisites of true manhood. These characters usually are fine strategists. They often manage to flank suspicion and even ingratiate themselves into the confidence and esteem of the best people, and thus on account of their associations lay claim to and command the re spect of their fellows. Sometimes, however, the texture of the gar ments, beneath which they attempt to conceal their deformities, is so thin, that detection and infamy overtake them unawares. High sounding words are often accepted as bona fide evidence of great literary attainment. Smooth oily tongues and gentle manners as proof positive of those gentle Chris tian graces which make the true woman, and demure faces, long prayers and occasional alms giving as good enough “titles to mansions in the skies.” But fools often use tho largest words. Shrews some times have the sweetest tongues and most bewitching manners, and the Devil himself appears as an angel of light. Tekel—has been written of more than Belshazzar. In conclusion I would venture a little gratuitous advice to your readers. Never effect to be what you are not. Always be what you ought. Never sail under false colors, as pirates do. Do not annoy people with senseless mannerism and empty sounds. Be natural and sincere, and as the great Spurgeon says : “ Always label your bottles honestly.” Ominous. The farmer’s surest speculations will be in live stock and plough-shares [for the herald.] CRL'SAHKRS IN KEENE§- BOIIO’. Thursday evening, August 12th, at 7J o’clock, there might have been seen in the hall and veranda of the rcsL dence of the hospitable Mrs, M., an assembly of persons young and middle aged, children, boys, girls, ladies and gentlemen, with eager countenances and palpitating hearts evidently bent upon the accomplishment of some special object. The scene is changed and flow assumes a military aspect, as in double file and long column the crowd makes ready to march. The Colonel of the regiment, (Dr. M ,) heads the column, giving in war like tones bis commands, among which is one for the maintenance of strict silence throughout the ranks. Con spicuous among the other officers are Mrs. M., Mrs. E., Mrs. A., Mrs. Dr. M., Mrs. 1., and Mrs. LaG. Glance at this column now as it is nearly ready to move and as the moon shines with ominous rays all along its line. Is this anew crusade gotten up to enforce women’s rights, or to over throw the liquor traffic in our city ? Something important is to be done, you may see this in the general appear ance of the regiment, in the glances of gallant Captain H. at that fair and courageous first lieutenant, Miss P., who stands at his left; in the mysteri ous whisperings of that hero, Mr. C. TANARUS., and heroine, Miss J. D ; in the hasty steps of that brave knight, Mr. K., who being delayed reaches the ranks just in time to hear the command '* March.” The soldiers in this regi ment are completely armed, but their arms are concealed. Some are con cealed in brown paper, some between stout strips of pasteboard, others are sheathed in glass, others in thick lay ers of earthenware. Every thing is now ready, the march is begun. The column moves toward the South. It reaches Miller’s black smith shop. It files left moving toward the East. The momentous period of the march is near at hand. Behold! the column stops in front of the resi dence of ltev. C. H. Strickland. It is understood by the crusaders that this is the point of attack. The first charge is successful. The bulwarks in front are passed, the door of the castle is entered, the crusaders move in solid phalanx through the corridor, and more successful than Peter the Hermit, the brave colenel sees the object of the first crusade upon the point of accom plishment. Strange to say after such gallant and successful action all the arms of the regiment are ordered stacked in the corridor, and the com mand for retreat is immediately given. The latter is made successfully, thanks to a strategetical movement boldly con ceived and bravely accomplished. About this time the occupants of the castle become aroused to the state of affairs. Upon examination they find that the enemy has left, but not before voluntarily surrendering all his weapons —weapons completely or very nearly hidden in paper, pasteboard, &c., &c. An inspection of these is in due time begun, when it is soon discovered that instead of a band of hostile crusaders, a number of the most sincere friends has marched through the house and that this stack of arms is nothing more nor less than a quantity of good things too numerous and various to mention, left as tokens of appreciation, friendship and Christian love. In fact, Rev. C. H. Strickland, the beloved and talented pastor of tho Bap tist church at this place, and his esti mable lady, had received a very short visit from a number of his flock and friends of himself and family, and it was only in the bundles left that the visitors expressed the object of their call. The crusade was first proposed by two kindhearted and zealous Baptist ladies, and was gotten' up and carried out almost entirely by the ladies, who continue to be the first in “ every good word and work.” Crusader. ♦ i^i President Whidby has issued the following appeal : To the Sunday Schools of Georgia: I respectfully but earnestly urge the evangelical Sunday Schools of Georgia, to unite in a general concert of prayer for the conversion of the Sunday School children of the State, and an increase of the power of the Sunday School for good, on Sunday and Mon day, October 17th and 18tb, at such hours as may be most convenient. The Sunday Schools of Europe have select ed the same dates. Then let the Sun day Schools of the world meet on those days in prayer to Almighty God for the conversion of the Sunday School children of the world. W. G. Whidby, Prcs’t State S. S. Convention.

Hart has put in an appearance after an absence of six weeks. He says lie has bad a splendid time, and returns to business very much refreshed. He reports fine crops, fine scenery, and fine everything, but admires more than anything else he saw, the social, intelligent Freeman of that beautiful country. A Foolish Habit. A great many people are constantly interspersing their conversation with the phrase “ You know.” No matter what they are talking about, they keep repeating “ you know,” when in fact we don’t know. The very fact that they are talking, and that we are lis tening, supposes that we don’t know. It is a habit they have, and perhaps they do not know they have it. But it is a foolish one, nevertheless. The beauty of conversation lies in its cor rect phraseology, freed from all verbi age—properly chosen words, spoken in a respectful and pleasant tone of voice. There is nothing so charming as chaste and elegant conversation. Tlie Necessity for Work, There has been a great deal said and written about the dignity of labor, the honor there is in soiled hands and sun burnt faces, homespun clothes and cali co dress, and all that—but the plain fact that labor is a necessity, and can not be dispensed with, has not been talked straight to the people as it should be. Necessity is said to be “the mother of invention,” and it is true, and that other old adage, that “ an idle brain is the devil’s work shop,” is true as well. Work is absolutely the normal condition of mankind, for the edict was pronounced through Adam as a repre sentative, to the whole human race without exception. Even lazy, profli gate negroes are not excepted, although they make themselves so, and we have to be the sufferers. Work being a necessity, the question is, do we work enough ? We are not going to say any thing about how work should be done, when it should be done, or whether this, that or the other work will pay, but do we work enough ? We mean, do we work as many days in the week, or as many hours in the day as we should? That is the question. There are a few classes of workers, who, from the nature of the business they have, work enough, and perhaps a few have to work too much. But how is it with the producing class, that great class that makes and moves the commerce of the world ? Do they work enough ? Of course we refer to our own section, for that is the one with which we have to do, and the view we take of the sub ject applies to the whites as well as the blacks, but more particularly to the latter, as they are the great body of workers. Let us take an average farm and see how it stands. The hands get to their work at an hour to an hour and a half by sun, and knock off at half past eleven to twelve. They return at two to half past two, and quit by sun set or half an hour before, and by com mon consent lose every Saturday. How much, reader, do you suppose that will foot up. of the time that should be em ployed in actual labor ? Not counting the time idled away while they are pre tending to work. Will it reach one third? We think not. Is it any wonder that we have hard times, short crops, debts unpaid and no money in our pockets ? Is it reasonable to ex pect that it would bo otherwise? Our troubles and failures, as a rule, are not for want of soil or seasons. Naturo is faithful and true, and if we did our duty as well as she, this country would blossom as the rose and smiling plenty bless the laud. This is plain talk, but we think it to the point. Let us go a little farther, and see what the result would be, if we worked out the full time. Would we have to mortgage everything we had, except our wives and children, to get supplies with which to make a crop? Would we have to pay fifty, sixty and up to a hun dred per cent, above cash prices for these supplies ? We certainly would not, for we would have the supplies,and money to buy what' else we needed. We firmly believe that if the proper amount of honest, faithful labor was performed, that the country would take anew start in prosperity, and in a few years become one o? the greatest coun tries in the world. Besides, work is a blessing, a positive blessing to every* body. It is a blessing morally, socially and financially. Then why not have more of it ?
