SI’ICIBK OP A MINISTER.
The following letters, written by
the late Ttev. M. D. Turner the un
fortunate Methodist preacher, just
before lie took poison, will throw
additional light on the cause of the
desperate act :
•‘Sto.vk Mountain-, Ga., July 7th,
1885.—My Gear Wife: I cannot ex
plain all the steps hy whichl have been
led to the terrible purpose of taking
my own life. You know something
of them. 1 want to protest again, in
the name of God, that it la no taull
of yours. You liavi always been
faithful and loving. I have lost faith
and hope for the world, and that
which is to come. Do not cease to
trust God. Ido love you. Think of
me kindly if you can, after I have
shown myself recreant to every vow
that one takes when lie marries a
wife. Alas my poor wife!
Brother "Willie, I have taken
strychnine. Life seems a most wortk
less failure to me. Give Annie what
ever properly I have. 1 left Law-j
rcnceville this morning without the
knowledge of any one. 1 walked to |
this place. You and brother Joe, and 1
sisters Lucy. Mary and Lizzie must
not let litis deed of mine make you
lose your faith. I am to be blamed
for it all. I have got where I can
not turn back. Be very kind to
Annie. Oh! my poor wife! Oh! my
brothers, my sisters!
‘■l have thought of the sorrow*, the
sequel, the ruin that must tollow, hut
I sec hill one way—mieide. I com
mit myself and mr judgment to
God, who will do the best that eau be
dotio for me. I have laid down tin
der my burden so long that I have lost
all feeling and anything lika proper
conception of my crime. Gofid bye,

Mrs. Turner accompanied by her
father, reached Atlanta next morning
where they were joined by Mr. C. ii.
Brand and Judge J. S.Turner, broth
er of the deceased. The remains of
Mr. Turner were carried to Eatonton
tor interment.
Says the Nash vibe American:
“Agriculture is the natural basis of
material prosperity in the South. 'The

been, and are now the main amt ret a
of our wealth, are agricultural indus

VOCATIONS FOB WOMEN.
Miss Willard says: Journalism is
! difficult and uncertain. Literature
without the highest order of talent,
is hopelest. Lyceum lecturing has
passed its prime, and the most gifted;
and famous alone can win in that
arduou* field ; puplic reading as an
avocation for woman is as much over
crowded as the legal profession is for
men. In music, vocal aud instrumen
tal, there U an ahsalute glut of the
market, *ave for I lie highly endowed.
Morerer, in all these lines,
the standard is rising so steadily
and to such a height that mediocrity
once endurable,is now hopelessly con
demned To he a fourth or even a
third-rate musician is to fail out
right. To paint daubs and call them
pictures, is a positive sin. To mur
der the modern languages by false ac
cent and atrocious grammar, hath not
forgiveness i this world. Tho inven
tory I have outlined includes most of
tlie higher occupations open to women
save one, and that is the broad, nay,
the weli-nfgb, boundless field of prac
tical philanthropy. Hero, at iat, the'
world is called before you. where to
choose. No class of workers hero
outrank women in opportunity, dig
nity, or the rewards that a sincere
heart prizes most. To be sure, wealth
cannot be won here,but a moderate in
come sufficient for current needs, ts
uortain toail faithful efficient workers.
HOW SIX SOUTHERN SOLDIEBS
TEEATED A WIFE-BEATEE
A recent dispatch from Philadel
phia, says: As fourof the Montgom
ery Greys ard two of the Houston
Light Guards were returning to rsmp
from tlie Belmont mansion late last
night their attention was attracted by
screams and cries of “Help!*’ and
“Murder!” The hot southern Idood,
which had been additionally heated
at the mansion, mounted to their
heads, and with grim determination
and southern chivalry flashing in
their oves the gallant six charged for
for tlie spot whence the cries eatae.
There they discovered a big brute
ol a man beating his wife with the
butt end o*'a pistol. “Hold up,”yell
ed otic of the Grcva. "You touch
that woman again aud I'll fill you full
of holes!”
Then the wife-beater discosered
that lie was ihc focus tor the barrel*
of tour pistols in the handsof the ex
cited Alabama boys. The Texans were
unarmed.
“She’s my wife, and I can do a* 1—”
“Shut up!" interrupted a Texan.
“Boys can’t you give him just one foi
luck? Don't kill him exactly. Just
take an ear oil'. P.easc do. It ’ll do
him good.”
The man saw that the southerners
meant business ami he whined i.uil
begged so piteously tlint he was per
mitted to depart, minus hi* pistol and
plus six hearty kick*. The woman
stole off after him.
FARMER DICKSON’S WILL.
Great interest ia exhibited in the
will of the late David Dickson, the
farmer millionarie. who died leaving
all of his property, except a small
pittance. Amanda Eubanks, a negres*.
As Dickson liberally feed several
lawyers aud administrators to see
that his will was enforced, they are
making a strong fight. The while
heir* of Dickson, who arc scattered
through Georgia. New York and Tex
as nave also employed able counsel
anti propose to attack the dead man’*
san it v.
An intimate friend c.f Mr. Dickson
ha* just told the inside story of the
will. Amanda Eubanks, the benefi
ciary. is the result of an early indis
cretion of Mr. Dickson with one of
his slaves. It is asserted that ever
since the birth of this child Dickson
took to reading his Bible and prayer
book, and declared that it took a man
ot grit to take care of hi* offspring
when faced by society and prejudice.
Hence his will was intended to secure
to his own child, liegrcss though site
was, all that ins money could accom
plish. In the will ti c lawyers arc di
rected not only to see that its provi
sions as to lus property are carried
oat, but that the woman is protected
iu all ot her rights as a citizen where
over she may choose to lire. Such
wills have heretofore been easily up
set in Georgia, but under the uciv
condition of things amt Mr. Dickson’
recognition of the negress as his child
it is not believed that this can be
upset.
