BY CONTRIBUTOR. .HI,IA S*OI*R nemiOKTlllt The shadows ofiadeep grief rest up on our community. The Death Angel has spread his broad wing* here and driven his ice cold blasts against a fair and lovely one. To-day we mourn the absence of her who was t lie light and joy of her homo ; yet in the midst of our grief and our sorrow, we are cheer ed by the bright hopes which filled her soul and lit up 'with rapturous delight her countenance as she passed over the “dark river.” Julia Dope McWhorter, only daughter of Maj. and Mrs. 11. L. McWhorter, of Penfield, Ga., died on the 16th jnst. She made a profession in Christ and was baptized by of 1871. But a few short weeks ago, she re turned home from LaGraiige, where she had completed her College course, and was apparently in bloopting health. She had just prssed her seventeenth birth day, wlieu Consumption in its most acute and active form marked her for his own. She was confined tn her bed but a few days. £?he was a most patient sufferer. Not a murmur, nor a complaint escaped her lips during her illness. As the disease preyed so rap idly upon her system, her friends be came an xious to knew whether or not she fully appreciated the fact that her end was near. They forbore to ques tion her, fearing that it might hasten her death. She frequently spoke of what sho would do when she should be well again, and up to a very few hours before her depth was impressed with the idea that she would recover. On the evening of her death, site said to her old nurse, who stood at. her bedside, that she wished to talk with m-r p .star. Mr. Strickland, f]e came and had a brief conversation with her—asking her as to her faith and trust in the Sa viour. Site replied that “lie was pre cious to her, that her whole trust was in Him, and on Him she wholly depen ded for life and salvation.” After this e nversati. n she turnsd to her ti other and said, “I feel a great heaviness in my breast, do you think I shall get we'lf” The mother, though moved by the deepest anguish of heart, replied calmly, “we fear not my daughter.”— She then asked, “do you think I can live till morning T’ Her uiothersaid ■don't be alarmed, but 1 think not.” — She then raised her eyes and seemed engaged in prayer, after which she call ed for each member uf the family sepu rately. Dot forgetting tjie servants, and addressed parting counsel and admoni tion suited to payh, following with a prayer that they accept it and meet her in heaven. God gave her strength ol voice and flow of words that enabled her to talk as one inspired. She addressed herself ;o many around the bedside, and seemed to feci great concern for those of her schoolmates who were not believers, and begged that they be sought after and urged to turn from tjieir sinful ways. The earn est appeals made to each of her broth ers were especially touching. She prayed .that her passage from earth might bo made easy, and her last utter ance was a prayer for “father, mother, brothers, sister and littje Robert” — then placing herself on her pillow, with her hands upon her breast, she said more than once, “ Clip the thread ’' and without a struggle or a moan, sh.e pass ed through deatii unto life. “It was good to bo there.’ That death-chamber had all its gloom dis pelled by the visions of glory that opened to her eyes as she neared the shining shore. Her countenance all beaming and radiant with joy and words, uttered as if by lips touched by the hallowed fire, attest the truth and power of Christianity. She lived not and died not in vain. Never! no, never!! can they who were there that Sabbath night, forget that death-bed scene, and the peaceful, happy and triumphant death of the loved and loving Julia.

WHAT WE NEED The Fork is a very line neighbor hood and Greshamville is a beautiful * (■ little place. The people are industrious and prosperous. The soil is fertile and a good proportion ol it is under a high stale of cultivation. The clirnatg is miid and salubrious A genera! religi ous feeiing pervades the people, who assemble to worship God and give thanks to their beneficent Creator in New Hope (Baptist) and Fork Chapel (Methodist), two handsome churches beautifully situated in oak groves one mile .apart. Signs of a high tone of morality are everywhere perceptible. — In the sobriety of its young men, this neighborhood vies with any in the land. A peculiar temperance organisation, known ns the Knights of the Seven Pillars, hold weekly meetings in Gres h.nmviile. Every young man in the Fork proper, with two or three excep tions is a consistent member of this Society. It is doing a great work for our people, and we would earnestly re commend It to the thoughtful consider ation of others. God hastruely blessed this section and made it the sito of many lovely homes and happy families; and his people here are ever ready to show forth their gratitude end love by extending tbeir hospitality to friend or stranger. We are blessed and it may seem that our grateful hearts should be satisfied. But we still need s >me thing. We now need, most of all things, a large, spacious, Academy, well vcnjti lated and lighted, filled with suitable furniture. Then let the people omploy an old, experienced educator, skilled in the methods of imparting useful know! edge. The material js abundant. Let it be worked up, and a transfornation j will come over this country which will be wonderful to behold. It will affect the community to the remotest bounds j and last to the end of time. We are aware that some, who may | huuor this feeble attempt at good with^ a peru-al, will smile an ancient smile and drawl out half pitifully, half con temptuously, “Ymjfijf America Noth ing but Young America Spoutiug.’'— Wc are proud of Young America.— We glory in his dashing pluck and predict his future greatness. We re joice that he has rid hiuiself of all old fogy notions of precedent, that he has shown himself superior to prejudice and the benumbing enchantment of antiquity. But to give one .additional reason why an Academy should be built and a good school maintained. Besides great ly elevating the society.preserving pure morals, affording untold satisfaction, furnishing and <*xhaustless source of happiness, and giving the community a lasting influence for good; it touches //tv pnt he/. Not to empty it, but to fill it I It is an indisputable fact that wherever educational institutions have flourished, the value of property has been greatly enhanced' This is natur al. Every man desires to live where intcll.j nee nod morality prevail. Ifhe he himself depraved and ignorant, the natural love for his family and desire for their welfare urge him to settle there. At the demand for anything increases, so Joes its value. While the very existence of some villages, towns, ami cities depends upon their educa tional advantages, the rule holds equal ly good in minor cases. Indeed, it is the belief of some eminent men that this increase in value of property will deft ay the entire cost of such institu tions. Should these thoughts excite any one to exertion we shall be more thaij paid for our trouble. Sene! Your Orders FOR.
