But il is my purpose now to speak briefly upon a subject which should concern all classes and conditions of tneu, viz: Intern per- ance, its origin can be traced back to the days of Noah. It has accu mulated strength with the onward march of centuries, until to-day it stands, the most powerful evil with which fallen humanity have to grap ple. It baB done more to depopu late the human race, than war, pes tilence and famine, bat it seems that its appetite is insatiable. No earth ly power has boon able to blockade its destructive .pathway. Angels in wonder have loked dowu '.upon its slain and together with all the good of earth have petitioned that the plague might bo staid. Their peti tion has reached the Judge’s ear; their cause ho will plead; whisky is doomed, its grave has been dug, and nothi, g remains bat the verdict of tho people, to put away tho unclean thing. No evil can long exist, when the prayers of bo many of tho faith ful are pleading earnestly for its re moval. Faithful old Job by con tin ual earnest prayer was healed of his distressing malady. Hezekiah though doomed to dio, entreated the Lord and fifteen years were added to his life. By the prayers of Eli- Tybee Island has been purchased by Captain D. G.

Harrison is still on a boom, the church is not quite done, but has been progressing finely. The paint brush has been applied to Rev. G. W. Smith’s house which adds great ly to tho looks of that part of Har rison. Mr. G. W. Smith is also hauiug the material put down for the purpose of building him a store Wo think from the crowd that was on the W. & T. train and all that were absent after train time, that Harrison and Chiversville were well represented at Sandersville to see Miss Lulu Hurst.

Wo cau be thankful to a friend for a few acres, or a little money, and yet for the freedom and com mand oi the whole earth, and tor the great benefits of our being, our life, health aud reason, we look up on ourselves asunder no obligations. three years other instances which could bo men tioned indioato plainly, that the re moval of this evil rests simply with a reliance upon the powers that be Our hearts are made to bleed, when wo look around us and soe such wholesale destruction of what might bo the embodiment of parity and perfection amoDg our young men. We see them in the bloom of man hood, eminently qualified to fill any position in society, hastening on to shame, dishonor, and ruin, wound in the fatal coils of this monster evil, they are lost to all self-respect and decency,—use vulgar, and indecent language, and commit crimes, which demons and desperadoes alone could tolorate. Happy indeed would we feel if the fearful consequences of intemperance ended here, hallelu jah’s might be surely if the curtains conld drop just here. But alas, there are other and purer victims awaiting its approach. See that fond moth er and affectionate wife, as she sits in solitary meditation around the fireside, nursing an infant babe, Perhaps she has wept until the fountain of her tears is dried up. Disappointment, sorrow, misery wretchedness, like an eating cancer are gnawing at her vitals,—her mem ory carrying her back to the time when all was sunshine and happi ness; when there was not a ripple to disturb the peace of that blissful house. Broken pledges havo made her heart sick, aud, despairing of all earthly help, she flies in her dis tress to Him who has said "cast thy burden upon the Lord and he will sustain tbeo,” Friends this is not an overdrawn picture, thousands of good, noble women, whose hearts are bleeding, withering, dying, can testify to this truth.

Below we publish the first proc lamation of President Cleveland : Washington, March 13.—The fol lowing proclamation was issued by tho president late this afternoon: By the president of tho United States of America: Whereas, it is alleged that certain individuals, associations of persons and corporations, are in unantbor ized possession of portions of terri tory known ns the Oklahoma lands, within the Iudian territory, which are designated, described and re cognized by the treaties nnd laws of the United States, and by the ex ecutive authority thereof, as Iudian lands, and Whereas, it is further allegod that certain other persons or associn tions, within the territory and juris diction of the United State®, have begun and set on foot preparations for an organized nnd forcible entry and settlement upon tbe aforesaid land, and are now threatening such entry and occupation, nnd Whereas, the laws of tho United States provide for the removal of all persons residing or being found up on such Indian lands and territory without tbe permission expressly and legally obtained of the interior department, Now; therefore, for the purpose of protecting the public interest, as well as the interests of tho Iudian nations and tribes, aud to tho end that no person or persons may be iuduced to enter upon said territo ry, where they will not be allowed to remain without permission of the authority aforesaid, I, Grover Clove- laud, president of tho United States, do hereby warn aud admonish all and every person or persons now in tbe occupation of such lands, and all such person or persons as are intending, preparing or threatening to enter and settle upon the same, that they will neither be permitted to enter upon Buid territory, nor if already there to remain thereon, and that in case due regard for and voluntary obedience to the laws aud treaties of the United States and of this admonition and waruiug be not sufficient to effect the purposes and intentions of the government as hereiu declared, the military power of tbe United States will be invoked to abate all such unauthorized pos session to prevent such threatened entry and occupation, and to remove all such intruders from suia Indian lands. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and lmvt caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this 13th day of March, 1885, and of the inde pendence of the United States of America the 109th. Grover Cleveland. By the president. T. F. Bayard, Secretary of State We have heretofore presentecTou 1 readers with portraits of the Presi dential candidates of the Republican Democratic and Greenback parties, and we herewith publish an excel lent- likenors of ex-Governor St. John, of Kansas, who, with William Daniel of Maryland, lead the Prohi bitionists in the late campaign. John P. St John was born at Brockville. Indiana, Feb. 25, 1833, and is now fifty-one years old. His father was a farmer, somewhat ad dicted to intemperate habits ; and young St. John after spending his early boyhood laboring upon his father’s farm, ougAged himself as a clerk iu a grocery, in which capaci ty ho served until nearly twenty years of age, employing nil his leis ure hours in hard study of the lower branches of education. California now attracted the young man to the Puoifie Coast, where he spent sever al years in such occupations as a wood chopper and a steamboat hand. During this period St. John made voyages to Mexico, South America, and the Sandwich Islands and a tour through Central Ameri ca. In 1852 and 1853 bo enlisted in the war against the Indians and was very seriously wounded in two engagements. in these years of hardship yoang St. John managed to gain a very respectable knowledge of tho law, and in I860 ho engaged as a clerk with a law firm in Charlton, 111. In a short time he beoame partner in the concern, bnt at the outbreak of tho war he patriotically enlisted as a private in tbe Sixty-eighth Illinois volunteers. At the close of hostili ties he had risen to the rank of a Lieut. Colonel. He now settled at Independence, Mo., and began the practice of his profession, but in 18(59 lie removed to Olathe, Kansas and hero began his active career in politics. In 1872 he was sent to the State Senate, andiu 1878, aud again in 1880 was elected Governor of Kansas. He was in these years a recognized leader of the Republican party, but his extreme views on tern perauce,legislation and prohibition have caused him to forBako the for mer party aud become au ardent worker iu the rauks of the Prohi- bitiouists. Mr. St. John iB a man of fine presence and unimpeachable char acter. His convictions are iquiu* tainod with a vigor and ability that command admiration from all, if not a full endorsement of the opportune ues8 of their promulgation. to be accursed or devoted to destruc tion who "love not” the Lord Jeans, and, without dwelling particularly on lovo to Christ he affirmed thut such affection must exist which manifested itself in worship and obedience. A mere affirmation of love, without evidence of its exis tence, was not sufficient. He then wont on to declare that person who loved not Christ should be cursed by exclusion from boaven. First, he was an enemy to God, This is shown by his reject ing the principle of love, on which God’s government rests; by his re fusing to oboy God, who commands him to love tho Savior; by his refus ing to worship Christ, whom men and angels are commanded to wor ship. He is, thus, an enemy ond a rebel to God; beoause, in his an tagonism to the kingdom of Christ, ho manifests animosity to God, and spurns his authority. Secondly, ho is nn enemy to hiB race; beoause Christ came to bring salvation to mankind, and he not only refuses to harmonize with, bnt antagonizes that design. As though one sought to prevent the distribution of medi cine, which a physician has brought to a distressed nation, or of lood which a benefactor has brought to the starving inhabitants of a coun try, so he opposes one, who has brought life oternal to tbe lost and perishing of earth. Thirdly, he is an enemy to himself, because in re* fusing what is for his own good, he injures aud ruins himself. When guilty, he refuses pardon; when ooudemnod, he refuses nequitaj; when dying he refuses offered life, and when lost forever ho refuses salvation and persists in continuing in the road to perdition. Now what is to be done with such a man? You oan’t tuke him to heaven; for if he refuses to submit to God’s govern ment here he will refuse te submit to it in heaven. If he declines from a wicked and hostile inclina tion, to worship and love and obey God here, how can he do so there, where all are in sympathy and ac cord with what is good and holy and obedient? He who is not in sym pathy with what is puro and good here, and refuses association with the holy on earth, how can he ex- pect to go to heaven ? Where, then, can ho go ? Having assimilated himself with the enemies of God, he must go where God’s enemies are, and that is—to perdition. It follows inoontrovertibly that those who love not the Lord Jesus and obey him not mast be accursed or sent away into evaluating punish ment, when our Lord comes to re ward every one according to their deeds. “ANATHEMA MARANATHA.” Brief Notes of Dr. E. W. Warren’s Sermon, Sunday, March 1st. Another Bell for the Exposition. A St. Louis special says: Bishop Battes, of Alton, 111., having giveD his consent, the old boll belonging to the Catholic church at Kaskas- kia, HI., once the seat of the Span ish empire iu the Mississippi Valley, has been sent to the exposition at New Orleans. It is tho first bell that ever tolled west of tbe Alleghe ny mountains. It was oast at Ro chelle, France, iu 1741 and was pre sented by the' King- of France to Louis Buyatte for tbe parish of Kasknskia, where during the past 140 years it has been iu uso. Capt. N. T. Johnson, a member of tbe wholesale grocery firm of Jaques & Johnson, of Macon, died in tha t city on thursday 5th inst, of con sumption. Telegraph & Messenger. On tho morning of Sunday, March 1st. Dr. E. W. Warren discoursed to his congregation on a topic which he remarked was an unusual one for him, from which we have taken a few brief notes. The text was 1 Oor. 16:22. "If a man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranutba.’’ Emphasiz ing the fact that the Gospel was a gospel of love, the preacher declared that it was by far his preference to present the loving aspects, and us ually he did so, but to-day he would present the other side—its threat- i-mugs. He first briefly explained the different meanings attached to the word ‘anathema” by the Jews themselves,and showed that it meant here, exclusion from the joys of heaven, with added punishment; but what that punishment is he pretend ed not to affirm, simply contenting Liimself with quoting two passages of scriptuie—"Who shall be pun ished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power”—2 Thess. 1;9, and “These shall go away into everlasting punishment." Matt. 25:46. This will occur at the coming of Christ—Maranathan — when the Lord comes, i. e. when he comes to judge the world. They are Charlotte Corday. Charlotte Corday, who ended her short but eventful life through the ministrations of the guillotine, in Paris, on the 17th of July 1793, was the daughter of a poor Normou uobleman, and was born in the de- E artment of Orne, July 28, 1768. ter father was the author of works of a republican tendency, and Bhe inherited not only his literary, but also bis liberally patriotic tastes and temperament. She was impulsive, vehement and passionate to a high degree. Sho formed a violent at tachment for a young cavalry officer who was subsequently assassinated at Caen. Determined to avenge the death of her lover.who was a Giron dist, she went to Paris and took an apartment not far from the dwelling o! the great journalist, Marat. For a time she was undeoided as to whether Robespiorre or Murat should be the viotim of her ven geance. The advocacy by the lat ter of the Killing of more Girondists decided her choice. Providing her self with a kuife, she called -at Ma rat's house on the evening of July 13 and with some difficulty obtained an audience, having promised to aoquaint Marat- with tbe plots of the Girondists at Caen. Marat lis tened to her story, and at its con clusion remarked: "Within a week they will go to the guillotine.” 'At that moment tbe yoang woman drew the knife and plnnged it to the hilt in Marat’s heart. Tbe blow was not only struck with lightning like quickness, but was aimed with a bold aud uutrembling bund. Charlotte Corday was tried on the morning of July 17 and was behead ed on the evening of* the same day. Her courage did not forsake her, and she proclaimed, as she was brought face to face with the instru ment of deuth, that she had “killed one man to save a hundred thous and.” Her courage so impressed an unfortunate young German en thusiast named Lux that he wrote a pamphlet suggesting tbe erection of a monument to her memory, for which unwelcome suggestion he was himself arrested and subsequently guillotined. Gen. Butler seems to have considerably since tbe election decided. was
