event that Washington has taken a
deep ayd abiding interest in—the
Centennial meeting of the Georgia
Baptist, Association. In this com
paratively new country of ours few
centennials oecur ami they are all in
vested with peculiar interest. The
knowledge, that you will never see a
like centennial adds greatly to the
zest ot tpia occasion. We attend our
annual celebrations with great inter
est and watch the report, of eaeh
years’ progress with commendable
eagerness, but these centennial mile
posts in the history of our inslitu
lion* shine villi a glory unknown to
ordinary occasions.
There'are fifty-three churches in
the Georgia Baptist Association, and
(they are distributed over the territo
ry from Thomson to Greencsboro. It
is estimated that there will be about
three hundred and tifty delegates
from these churches and the other
Baptist association, lu the state. It
is Impossible to estimate the imm-
JiiTof visitors who will be present.
There will ije many distinguished
divines and laymen present anil these

•the ocoasbn what it is. What most
.concerns the people of Washington is
the entertaining of any and alt who
•come. They will strictly obey the
‘■Scriptural injunction ami “be given
to hospitality,” feeling assured that
they will bo more than repaid in
hearing the sermons, attending the
other exercises ami enjoying social
intercourse with their numerous
guests.

Gin House Burned.
Mr. A. A. Neal, who lives dosvuon
Bread river, lost Ids gin house by tire
last Sunday morning. The tiro be
gan while tho fteople wore at church
nearby, and as there had beau no fire
for two days about the steam engine,
which runs tho gin, and as tho engine
house was not burned, it is thought
an incendiary certainly did tho burn
ing. The gin house, gin, press and
eight bales of unpacked cotton were a
completed loss. A grist mill and tho
engine house, which were m dose
proximity, did not buru. The same
engine was Used for running the mill
and tho gin, but tho gin house was as
faroffas convenient, and connected
by shafting. We regret to learn
there was no insurance on the projier
ty burned. Three of the bales of cotton
belonged to Mr. Neal and tle other
five to his neighbors. Some negroes
say they saw a negro man run off
from the gin house about tho time the
tiro was discovered, and dogs wore
procured and put on the track, but
they ran it only a short distance.
It is by no means certain that they
were on the right track. An outhouse
occupied by a negro, located not a
great distance from this gin house,
was burned just one week before.
Mr. Henry Cordes on yesterday re
ceived a largo lot of very elegant
silverware and clocks. Call end see
them.

The public gin here is tnruing out
from 15 to 20 bales of cotton per day,

cents on account and 8% in money.
The farmers had better make more

been about 200 bales shipped from
this station.
Some of the wells in this commu
nity are getting low on
the continued dry weather. We pre
fer the dry weather to tho cyclone

northwest, the other day. I believe
we would choose, not to fake., any
earthquake shocks either if -end
possibly avoid them.

grading is comparatively light, and
when completed the Richmond and
Danville will furnish the cross-ties

that it shall be graded fora brond

Capt. D. M. Riggs, who is well
known at New Orleans and along the
Mississippi river, says: “I have been
suffering from dyspepsia for the past
five years, and from broken rest, by
severe pains in the bowels and kid
neys. I tried every medicine recom
mended for these diseases, without
success. At last I used a bottle of
Brown’s Iron Bitters, which proved
a perfect success in mr case.” It
cures all liver, kidney and malarial

It is amusing to see how tender
fooled certain blood remedy proprie

make much ado about “apes and im

Tito proprietor* of B. B. B. would
say most emphatically that their
remedy stands upon its own merit.
Should we attempt 10 imitate, it
would not be those who do not under
stand the modus operandi of that
which they offer. Our own long ex
perience in the profession precludes
such an idea. The field for blood
remedies is largo and broad affordin g
ample room tor all present aspirants.
Wc do not desire 10 close the. door
