“Some ’un Is done Stole de Bread."
There wps a big meeting last Sun
day out at Mt. Nobo, a colored
church, in this county. Communion
was to bo celebrated and tho bread
had been carefully stored away un
der the pulpit—the wine being car
ried in a bottle in the pocket of tho
brothor who was to administer it. In
a ill-starred moment the brother in
black turned hi* eyes from the spot
whore lie had placod the bread, and
wnon he went to look for it it could
not bo found. AVith considerable
embarrassment he roso and stated
that owing to an accident that had
happened, communion would havo to
be postponed to some other meeting.
Brother Abram rose in his pew and
asked what sort of an accident was it
that was going to debar tho whelo
congregation Of this great privilege.
The preacher I hen said,'‘AVoll, broth
or Abram, to tell you de plain truth,
some ’un is deuo stole de bread.”
Only those who pay tho preacher are
allowed to participate, and to bo de
prived of taking communion after
they havo paid for the right is some
thing they do not at all relish.
A Rhinoceros Affair.
Ycstcrdsy was the day set aside
for Col. Heard's annual barbecue. At
nine o’clock the crowd began to come
in. and hv twelve, over fifty people
were on the ground. The table was
spread beneath the aged poplars that
overhang the old family spring. Tho
Co 1 , would stand and point out to
his visitors the very tree upon which
in iioyish glee he first carved his
name, over fifty years ago; hut
which has long since keen effaced
by the ruthless hand of time; and lie
could point to the spot where he
played the first game of the nimble
mumble peg. A dozen or so of la
dies honored the Col. with their pres
ence. The table did not groan, but
fairly howled with the toothsome
things that aro usually found at a
first-class barbecue. General Floyd
of Little river fame edited the culi
nary department, and the ladies were
loud in their anpiausc of his handy
work.
A pleasant day was passed, and at
cvcmidc the Cel’s Humorous friends,
both from the town and county,
turned their faces homeward with
il 0 prayer tliat me Col. might forev
er escape fron. the bonds of iniquity
and tho g 11 of bitterness.

CENTENNIAL
OF THE GEORGIA BAPTIST ASSOCI
ATION.
Washing-ton to be Honored with its
Celebration. Great Preparations for
Boundless Hospitality.
Just one hundred years ago the
Georgia Baptist association was or
ganized in the neighboring countv of
of Columbia. It doos not embrace
the entire state, as its name implies,
but when organized there was no
other association in Georgia, and all
others are offshoots from this parent
stem. It is therefore the oldest and
most honored of them all and its one
hundredth anniversary will he appro
priately celebrated by not only
the pcoplo who compose • its
own churches but by delegates and
visitors from numerous ether associa
tions AVashington very greatly appre
ciates the honor of being selected as the
place for this centennial celebration,
and is preparing to extend boundless
hospitality to all who come. It will
be the greatest occasion of the kind
that AVashington has over enjoyed.
The number of delegates is estimated
at about three hundred and tho num
ber of visitors cannot he estimated.
Rev. Dr. M. B. AVhatmi remarked to
a citizen of this placo that wo mighty
prepare for five thousand. Of course
tncre will be nothing liko theiiumber
but the Doctor meant to intimate that
tho number would be very large.
Tho meeting will begin on Wed
uesday, tho StU of Octeber and con
tinue through the following Sunday.
Besides tho usual servlcos held on
such occasions, the will be special
services in celebration of tho centen
nial of the association and also special
services in regard to raising an on
dowment fund one hundred thousand
dollars for Mercar University, and
considerable progress lias already boon
made in the good woi k.
The commit'eo on hospitality re
quest the citizens of AVashington to
aid them by entertaining as many
delegates as possible, and
wc hopo all of our
citizens will ontortain to tho extent of
their capacity. AVo feel assured from
preparat'ons now being made that
food, lodging, good chcor and a
hen. ty welcome await all who come.
AVo hope our citizens wi’l not labor
under the erroneous idoa that they
should feel constrained to en.crtain no
more than they can accornidaio in the
style they are accustomed to enter
tain their friends. On such crowded
occasions people can not be entertain
ed as they would ho ordinarily,
neither do they expect it. Some
families In (his place arc preparing to
entertain as many as fifty guests each.
Of course they will make down beds
on the floor, and havo a sort of camp
life for tho .imo being. AVe fell as
sured of tho fact that AVashington
will maintain her reputation for un
limited hospitality and we hope that
all wi‘l join in maintaining the good
name of tho town.
The new Baptist church is rapidly
approaching completion, and
centennial will be held in one of the
handsomest churches in the stale of
Georgia.

A TALE OF TWO CRUTCHES*
A Well Known Citizen of Atlanta
Lays Down his Cratches.
I have only a few words to say, which are to
state that I have been confined to my bed for
two monthß with what was called Nervous
Rheumatism, or Sciatica. I was only enabled
to hobble about occasionally by tho use of
crutches, and in this condition I commenced
the use of B. B. 8., four bottles of which en
abled me to discard the use of my crutches
and attend to business. I had previously used
all well recommended medicines without relief.
It has been over two months since using
B. B. 8., and 1 consider myself a permanently
cured man.
J. P. DAVIS, ,
Atlanta, Go. (West Rod.)
FRIGHTFUL NASAL CATARRH.
Pieces of Bone.
For four years I have been afflicted with a
tery troublesome catarrh of the head. So
terrible has its nature been that when I blew
my nose small pieces of bones would frequently
come out of my mouth and nose. The dis
charge was copious and at times exceedingly
offensive. My blood became so impure that
my general health was greatly impaired, with
poor appetite and worse digestion.
Numerous medicines wece used without
relief, until I began tho use of B. B. 8., and
three bottles acted almost like magic. Slnco
their use not a symptom has returned, and I
feel in every way quite restored to health. I
am an old citizen of Atlanta, and refer to al
most any one living on Butler street, and more
particularly to Dr. L. M. Gtllam, who knows
of my case.
Mbs. Elizabeth Knott.

Headers of Hawthorne’s “House of Seven
Gables,” will recall the pathos with which
poor Clifford Pyncheon, who had been unjust
ly imprisoned since his early manhood, said,
after his release : “My life is gone, and where
is my happiness 1 Oh I give mo my happi
ness.” llut that could be done only in part,
as gleams of warm sunshine occasionally fall
across the gloom of a Now England autumn.
In a letter to Messrs. Iliscox k Go., Mr. L.
11. Titus, of Pennington, N. J., says: “I havo
suffered untold myaery from childhood from
chronic disease of the bowels and Buffered
great pain. I sought relief at the hands
of physicians of every school, and used ev
ery patent and dome.-tic remedy under tho
sun. I have at last found in PARKER’S
TONIC a complete specific, preventive and
ture. Aa your valuable medicine did for
ho what nothing else could do, is ontitled to
mo credit of my getting back my happy
days, I cheerfully and gratefully acknowl
edge the fact.”
Mr. E. S. Weill, wso needs no introduc
tion to tho people of Jersey City, adds : “Tho
testimony of Mr. Titus is genumo and volun
tary; only he does not adequately portray the
suffering he has endured for many years. He
is my brother-in-law, and I know the case
well, ne is perfectly lree from his old
troubles,and enjoys health and life, ascribing
it all to PARKER’S TONIC.
Unequal as an invigorqnt; stimulates all
the organs ; euros ailments of the liver, kid
neys and all disoases of tho blood."
