My recent visit, to Thomson and to
Wutdyrond (ihcln nu ol K pi.di Stalling)
was one of the j h &s;uitr>st of my life. It
was my first visit to Kesith in her new
home, and I must say she has brought
fr >m Pnevil!e f in her own sweet and
k limy disjs s tior., the charm of that i
happy and model home.
Sunday of last week I attended clmrcli;
at Sharon and heard a veiy able sermon
by the Pastor, Rev. W. A Hogan, of
Lincoln county. Mr. Hogan has not
been long in ministerial work, but I pre
dict th.it, in a few years, he will be one
of ti e fiist and most powerful divines in
the State. A 1 irge congregation was
present, among them visitors from Lin
coln, Flint HiP, Wilkes, Wrightsboro,
Thomson and Appling. Sybil was there
to>, with lur winning smile.
Orion Marshall c rie<l his first water
melon (half ripe) to Ins sweetheart, and
two of h< r other beaux helped lier eat it.
I heartily congratulate Neiiie on her
splendid write-up of our successful Pic
nic. If could not have been done better.
Two of our young bachelors ca on
a gir) Saturday to a*k her how to cut up

BACKWARD, NOT FOWAUD.
BY BALPH N. SK IH.
For sometime I have thought seriously of
submitting to the careful consideration of
the public a few thoughts upon a subject
which I think is of vital importance ; and,
coneisous of my inabilty to handle it as its
merits d* serve, I ask the patience and in
clulgence of all who give this a perusal
Is the world civilized ? Is America civil
izt and ? What of our own United States, the
grandest country of the globe ? Ae we civ
ilized? Such, I know', we claim, but i fear
we are on the feuce, so to spfak, between
heathenism aud civilization. Onoe the
United Slates could justly lay claim to civ
ilization, but cat we do so now ? Citizens
of the word \ citizens of America! citizens
of our dearly beloved State ! will you pause
and reflect a moment ? Half a century ago
the climax of civilization was reached, but
tin re is no clmax in sight now. Every day
is carrying us one day further from tho
climax. Backward? Must we not call a
halt and reverse our downward steps?
What do we mean by civilization? If I
were to ask you that question, reader, what
would be your reply ? Let us see what civ
ilization really is; ihen we can tell whether
we are truly civilized. I do not refute Web
ster’s definition, l>nt do say that he limits
himself to very narrow hounds. He had a
very clear conception of what civilization
meant, but he does not live today, und, in
bis lifetime, he did not have to contend
with the conditions of today. He defines
civilization as “a state of being refined iu
maimers from the grossnass of savage life,
aud being improud in arts and learning.’’
This is amply good as far as it goes, but it
does not go far enough to suit the present
times. iam far from saying that our peo
ple are savage or not refilled; hut there are
thousands who are not. We must go deopei
into this subject, and in doing so, the fol
lowing four heads, in my opiniuii, are tho
most prominent hindrances to our advance
in civilzation:
1. Sabbath Desecration.
! i. Fashion.
3. Selfish ness
4. Age of Deception.
Go back to No. 1. Do you know what is
done every Sunday throughout the woild,
or even in the United States, that dishon
ors the sacred day, and violates God’s com
maud—“ heinember the Sabbath day, to
keep it holy ?" If you are not posted on
this subject yon should seek and retain all
the information that can be hud. The facts
I ahull give are compared to what really
exist.
Our forefather* and fathers climbed high
the ladder wli<>w topmost found is the cli
max of civilization. They climbed high
enough to place us on the topmost iouid,
hut, weaklings that wo wore, we foil off and
did not gain a odd until halfway down tho
ladder. Hero we stand, tho younger gen
nation, gazing hack and up from our half
way station at those of our ancestry that
yet survive. Let us tighten our grip, hold
to wind we havo, and make a desperate ef
fort to regain our lost ground. Wo can do
it. Will we? is the question.
And you say our young people aro de
scending in the scab of of refinement and
Civilization? Yes; that is what I argue;
nnd today there are hundreds and thous
ands have come down almost to the very
bottom aud are still going down, down,

After a long silence I am here to chat
with our jolly baud once more. Tue old
mau aud mvsMf have beeu on the sick
list for sometime. Wo l.al been looking
forward to our Picnic, but could not go.
This woil l is made of disappointments,
aud each one has his or hers to b ar. So,
after having a nice ruin, the br -eze feels
so cool and pleasant, and the sweet mus
ic of the birds that is ringiug through
the woods, seem to cheer me up aud give
me courage to write to our dear Jour
nal. Though silent so long, no one has
enjoyed reading the letters of our corres
pondents more than I have. We do have
some very interesting letters. Let us
every one strive to make the dear old pa
per thrive.
A Valuable Receipt.
As the season lias arrived for preserv
ing, canning and pickling I will give
the sisters my receipt for Sweet Tomato
Pickle.

ed ouions ; 4 to 6 green peppers cut fine;

spoonful spice; 1 tablcspoouful clov
2 table spoonfuls white muataid seed ;
(put in whole graius of peppt r, spice and
cloves) 1 quart vinegar, more or less,

pouuds sugar (I generally put in to suit

I close with best wishes for our Club
aud Journal.

Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is n medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid exhausted fooling
prevails, when the liver is torpid und slug
gish and the need of a tonic and alterative
felt, A prompt use of this medicine has
ft n averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
evers, No medicine will act more surely
n counteracting aud freeing tho system
from the malarial poison. Headache, Indi
gestion, Constipation, Dizziness yield to
ctric Bitters. 500. and sl.§ pern, i

WHITE OAK— By So-so.
Ever since our Picnic I have intended
to drop a line to our Journal, but have
had oomppny, and von all understand
how hard it is to break away from nice
s wid intercourse.
Lost third Sunday wo attended Marsh
all church for the first time iu 8 years,
and wo heartily commend the church in
the choi of a Pastor, for we feel that
Pro. Ellington is a true, Christlike man,
of no ordinary ability. His sermon was
accompanied by the divine spirit, and we
enjoyed it he.ir.ily. May G id’s richost
blessings ever rest upon that church and
its Pastor.
We feel that our own dear little church
is moving up in deep spiritual and finan
cial interest. On Sunday of last week
flie Rfrvice was one that none present
"id soon forget on account of the divine
presence. Bro. Timmons, our Pastor,
whom we a ! l so much love and appreci
ate, teemed to be overwhelmed with the
r.ispo si utiiy of the golden opportunity.
H h discourse was addressed to the
young pri cipally, and after his sermon
lie administered baptism to 7 or 8 child
ren, and the Holy Spirit came down with
wonderful power. We thank God for
the manifestation of His presence and
love.
Now a word about the business en
trusted to the Executive Com tub tee at
our Club meeting at Boneville. Let us
go to work at it with a zeal and deter
mination that wi.l assure success. Ido
not know of anything tbut will give us
so much benefit and pleasure as a Circu
lating Library. I believe we can easily
get up. In fact, we can and must have
it. Our Club has placed this matter in
the hands of the Executive Committee,
mid it will receive thorough and vigor
ous attention. We will soon lay before
the Club our plan of operation, and we
will expect every member to give us
their ready assistance and coopeatiou.
We close with best wishes to you all.
