Reports most flattering are con stantly being received at this office of the high appreciation of the People’s Friend by our brothers and sisters of the order. A brother at Adairsville writes, ‘I can’t live without the Friend,’ another says, “if the Friend could generally be taken by the masses in temperance would not long curse the land.” These opinions are to us as “apples of gold in pictures of silver’’ for what are we worth in this life if we do no good with it ? Onr books show that we have given to the cause of Good Templarism since the Friend was started several hundred dollars and we are happy to say that a large liberality on our part has prompted members of the order all over the State to work earnestly for the People’s Friend, and as a conse quence of that work subscribers are coming in. more rapidly than during any previous month. Let the good work go on and the victory is surely won. —— We hope every lodge in Georgia will send full quotas of delegates to the Grand Lodge which meets in Au gusta the last Wednesday in Septem ber. We are in favor of electing the very best men to manage our affairs next year for the older our Grand Lodge becomes the more danger there is of trouble and dissension in our ranks. Wto are old fogy enough to believe the old adage that “a new broom sweeps clean” and are therefore in fa vor of electing a new set of officers out and out. Our old fogyism also believes that other old adage “there's as good fish iu the sea as ever yet came out,” and we know we have as good material for Grand oilieers in our sub ordinates as have ever yet graced those chairs. We further know that for the hon or of the position our Grand Officers of this year have enough to retire on, and if any one would fain longer feast on the money of the thing shame on him. We are for “one term men,” “let honors bo easy.” We are out and out opposed to the unwise expenditure of $2500 to pay a Grand Lecturer. We are not opposed to that Judas-like—we don't hold the money bags. We ate in for the good of the order money or no money. VIRGINIA HEARD FROM. During the past few days we have received several orders for the People’s Friend from that noble old State of Virginia. One brother suggests that the Friend will be the cause of organ izing a Good Templars Lodge at Am herst. Va., others equally encouraging. Thus the paper goes out making its influence felt far and near. Another brother writes from that State: “I received a part of your pa per around some goods I bought and was so much pleased with it that I want it, so send the Friend of the People’s along.” The Friend is daily sowing good seed wherever it goes and is bearing its golden fruit in thousands of places we know nothing of, but we hear of enough to let us know our la bor is not in vain. ' Perform a good deed, speak a kind word bestow a plea-ant smile. and you will re ceive one in return. The happiness you bestow upon others, is reflected back iu your own bosom. The man who can be nothing but serious or nothing but merry, is but half a man.— [ Leigh Hunt. Atlanta, Ga., July 22, 1873. Dear “Friend.”—lnclosed you will' please find ft letter frdm our esteemed Bro. Randall, which I respectfully ask that you. will publish, I having asked and obtained the consent of the wri ter to do so. It is strange to me that, for a moment, there should be any op position to the children’s societies, but still some have one objection and oth ers another. Even parents often op pose this work of their children, no matter what these same children would be engaged in if they were not in attendance at the Cold Water Tem ples. A circumstance occurs to our mind that transpired shortly after the or ganization of the Juvenile society: A certain prominent Reverend gentle man, who may serve as a warning to parents who oppose this organization, has three sons that the writer was ac- ! quainted with, two of which belonged , to the order of C. W. T., but on ac- [ count of that organization meeting on Sunday, the two boys were ordered by their father to withdraw from the order, while the third son, sad to re late, was reeling through the streets,a drunken loafer, cursing his own fath er’s name, mocking the religion the father preached and publicly declaring that money was all the religion there was in him. Says he, “stop the old hypocrit’s money, and he will stop preaching so quick you will not know it”—at the same time uttering the most fearful oaths. When we heard of this, our heart quailed to think of what might be the fate of the other brothers, who, left to themselves as the elder had been, and even withdrawn from good associations through a whim or prejudice, and allowed to seek any other they desired. May God,in his infinite mercy, watch over and guard them from the danger befallen a neglected brother; and may He protect the children of Acworth from the snares Satan lays for them: first, dissatifaction, then absence from all that is good, finally the fall—ruin and disgrace! Brethren and Sisters of Acworth, never let it be said that one of you oppose the protection and instruction of the young. You was young once, and how ye craved the sympathy of the older ones. As temperance peo ple, it will be useless for you to weep over the fall of the drunkard and his suffering family iu the neighboring city of Cartersville, while you neglect your children at home. To work, Brothers and Sistert! away with your petty quibblings; go to work as God has given you strength, j We raise the voice of warning to pa rents, and bid them, in kindness and love, to beware—their duties are many and their responsibilities heavy. T. [Bro. Randell’s letter will appear iu our next issue.—Ed. Friend.] The Effects of Intemperance. The effects of intemperance are seen ev ery day along the streets of every town, and in every village, and even along the , public roads. We see both women and children in tatterd garments who have been brought from splendor to poverty by the effects of intemperance. While this mighty monster is bringing our country to a ruineous condition, let it be our mightest endeavor to drive it from our land. We call on every true friend of temperance. It is your duty to use your influence for the temperance cause. We ; should send temperance men to the Legis lature in order to have th* temperance bill passed, and we should have a temperance Governor so that he may not veto that bill. i If we ever succeed in driving intempance from our land we must commence at the ballot-box-- moral suation will not suffice. We must have legal suasion, so that we may put an end to the liquor iraffi: which has so long been a curse to our land. It has been the ruin of the most useful men in our country. Some of our wealthiest men have been brough down to pauperism. I This will be the condition of our State so long as her laws allow the use of the pois onous spirits. Lot every one who pre tends to be a friend to the temperance cause go forth in the discharge of his duty and let vs march onward with our banner waving over the head of every opposi tion. This tsr a matter of unlimited importance. Seeing-the great number that are sufferim daily from the effects of intemperance: ’, e t every person that friend who are ip the habit of indulging in intoixeation, go to them and try to elevate tfieir minds, bring them up in their own'estimation, show them the great danger they are in, and the end that may grow out of the example ’ they are setting before their child/en. Whenever we all do this we will see a great change in our country. Men that are now drunkards will be seen with their, children carrying them to church and visi ting temperance halls .and they will bring their children up in good society so as to be respected by all persons. This is a work that has the approval of God and with this encouragement let us work with the assurance of sucees. Home Affection. The heart has affecctions that never die. The rough rubs of the world never obliter ate them. They are the memories of home —only’ home; there is the old trss under which the lighthearted boy swung many a day: yonder is the river in which he learn ed to swin, there is the house iu wSich he knew a parent’s protection—nay, there is the room in which brother and sister, long since Lid in the yard in which we must soon be £a‘hered over-shadowed by you old church, whither with a joyous troop like himself he had often followed his parents to worship, and hear the good old man who ministered at the altar. Even the very school-house, associated in youthful days with thoughts task, now comes to bring pleasant remembrance of many occasions that called forth some generous exhibition of noble traits of human nature. There is where he learned to feel some of his- emo tions. There perchance, he first met the being who, by her love and tenderness in life, has made a home far happier than that which his childhood had known. There are certain feelings of humanity— and those, too, among the best —that can find no appropriate place for their exer cise only at one’s fireside.—A r afibn. Butter Churning Made Easy Strain the milk shallow, the mor&surface the more cream, hence large pans are the best. Keep it in a room free from jars; do not churn in the room; keep it at an even temperature it must have light and air; it is much like the rest of us and spoils for want of gtfod pure air, but it is averse to draughts. it if you want good, sweet cream skim when the milk is thoroug hly thick or loppered. <lf you skim sooner you will lose some cream; if later, there will be spots on it or mold, and your but te rwill not keep. After skiming your cream into your cream pail, stir altogether with a case-knife is best, as it manipulates the the particles against the sides of the pail more thorouhly. This process takes but a moment, and if you do it each time that you skim, when you como to churn (if your milk is at proper temperature) your butter will come iu less than ten minutes, as the particles are already half churned. Mirth at Mealtime.— Everybody should plan to have pleasant conversation a t the table.just as they do for good food. A little story telling, & little reading-it m be of humorous things, anecdotes, etc., will often stimulate the joyous element of the mind and cause it to act vigorously. Try and avoid going to the table all tired out. Let all troublesome topics be avoided. Don’t scold domestics. Don’t discipline children. Think and say something pleas ant. Cultivate mirth, and laugh when anything witty is said. If possible, never a lone. Invite a friend of whom you are fond, and try and have a good time Friendship and friendly intercourse ta- ; ble whets the appetite and promotes the flow of annual spirits. — Herald of Health That was a beautiful idea in the mind of a li'tle ffirl, who on beholding a rose bush, on the topmost stem of which a rose was fading, whilst below and around it three beautiful crimson buds were just un folding their charms at once and earnestly exclaimed to her brothcrer, “William, I these little bud.- have awakened in time to | kiss their mother before she dies. Do you owe your neighbor anything, and have you the money layining by with which you could pay him? If so settle the debt at once and thereby enable him to pay some body he owes, who in turn may be owing you and is just waiting for your neighbor te pay him that he may pay you. If every man would pay his debts who can it would enable a great many to pay theirs who cnanot, and would be a perfect silencer to the cry of hard times. Ir Didn’t Take. A young man in Peorip. sought to secure his sweet-heart by strategy, so he took her out for a boat rid.e, and threatened to jump overboard i oto the lake if she did’nt consent to marry him. But it did not work. She offered I to bet him a dollar he daren’t dive in. j 108 WORK DONE WiTH J Neatness and Dispatch, at this , Office.

The startling drawback on nearly all me dicinal agents has ever been that in their proeesw of purgation and purification they have also debilitated the sys tem. To obvi ate this difficulty physicians have long sought for an agent that ’’.vould PURGE, PURIFY & STRENGTHEN AT ONE AND THE SAME TIME. Their research has at ’ last been rewarded by a discovery which fully realizes the fondest Jdesiresof the i nedical faculty, and which is justly regard ed as the most im portant triumph that Pharmacy has ever achieved. This impo rtaqt desideratum is DR. TUTT’s VEGE" TABLE LIVER PILL. Which purify the blood and remove all corrupt humors an< J unhealthy accumula tions from the bod ,y, and yet produces no weakness or lassitr t do whatever, but on the contrary tones thf • stomach, and invigorates the body during their progress of the oper ation. They up ,ite the heretofore irrecon cilable qualities of a Strengthening Pur gative and a I ’urifying Tonic. Dr- Tutt’s I’ills are the most active and searching medicine in existence. They at once attaf ; k the very root of diseases, and their action is so prompt that in an hour or two after they are taken the pa tient is awr tre of their good effects. They may be ta ken at any time without restraint of diet or occupation ; they produce neither nausea, griping or debility, and as a fam- Jy medir jjne they have no rival. Price , 25c a box.
