J n future, all advertisements will be found on the first and fourth pages. New advertiaements will appear un der the head of “ New Business.” Unfortunate— Machinery Broken. After almost every conceivable difficulty, we had suc ceeded in printing about half of this issue of our paper, when the targe Balance Wheel of our Press, under a full head of steam, flew oflf, bursting in pieces some of the principal cog wheels, and very nrfrrowly missing some of the hands in the office (the wheel weighs some 500 or a thousand pounds.) We were of course obliged to sus pend operations until we could have another wheel cast at the Iron Foundry, to which we sent the pieces imme diately ; but to continue our bad luck, the operatives in the foundry failed in the first attempt to cast all the cogs, threw us a week or ten days still farther behind. .We trust our friends will sympathise with us in our difficulties, and pardon the delay in issuing the paper. They can form no idea of the uneasiness, trouble and perplexity which we have endured for the last three weeks. —— A Short Apology. After our editorial was in type, stating that the paper was printed with new material, from beginning to end, we found it impossible to get all the old advertisements in new type ; and hence, were forced to let some of them remain in the old. In behalf of our publisher, we beg that all imperfections and want of finish in the paper this week, arising from that source, may be excused. In consequence of the large quantity of matter to be set, we have been unable to issue the paper at the regu lar time. County Elections. < The election for County Officers for Greene County, on Monday last, resulted as follows : Vincent Sanford, Clerk of the Sup. and Inf. Courts. Garrett Woodham, Tax Receiver. J. N. Copelan, Tax Collector. 11. R, Hunt, Coroner. Isaac Morrison, Sheriff, J. L. Turner, Surveyor. A friend has favored us with the following notice of the election, accompanied with the official vote : - “Greenesroro*, Jan. sth, 1858. J. H. Seals, Esq.— Dear Sir: The election passed off comfortably, . considering the abundance of fire-water and other aque ous fluids. No one received serious injury in the va rious scuffles and tumbles consequent on “saturation,” and the hard rain of last night cooled off the most fiery spirits by dilution. * Notwithstanding the unpropitious weather, we have had a good turn-out to-day, and the rates at which pro perty sold indicates anything but the prevalence of a panic. L. Sale Day in G reenesboro. * We learn from friends who were present, that negro property sold astonishingly high, on the Ist Tuesday of this month. A couple of negro boys—one 22 and the other 27 years of age—brought SI2OO a-piece; and a ne gro girl sold for the same amount. Some 30 or 40 ne groes in all, belonging to different persons, were sold, besides a variety of other property, such as lands, &c. We learn that quite a number of people turned out, not withstanding the'rainy day. Col. D. W. Lewis, of Hancock, introduced a bill, which was passed in the last Legislature, “to regulate the retail of spirituous liquors in Hancock county.” We think such a thing is absolutely impossible, for the retail traffiic is an irregularity, and how will you regu late an irregularity? How would you regulate a whirl wind ? By taking the twist out of it i would not be a whirlwind. Can you regulate a kicking, jumping toothache ?oW*t a thing you know to be absurd. It is a rotten tooth, and the only cure for it is to drag it outlay the roots. And the only remedy against the evils of retail establish ments, is to tear them down. President of the S. Carolina College. —The Co lumbia Times, of Ist inst., sayp: “We are pleased to announce that the Hon. A. B. Longstreet has formally accepted the Presidency of the College, and will be in this city on or about the 15th ihst.” fi&B* A friend writing to us from Western Ga. states that the citizens of that place had it incorporated during the Legislature before the last, and have had a prohibi tory law in force there ever since. He says they are rid of grog-shops; the law works well, and they lijte it better the longer they try it. Atlanta American states that Uncle Dabney Jones has purchased land in the suburds of that City and will settle permanently in Atlanta. The American adds: Asa compliment to the war worn veteran, the “set tlement,” has by universal consent, been christened “Dabney,’ ’ Y We know thttf his numerous “ neices and nephews” (for everybody calls him “Unde,”) throughout the whole South, will cordially join us in sincera and heart felf wishes for a prolonged life of continued health and prosperity. May the weight of increasing years be lightened by the generous kindness, we feel confident he will receive at the hands of those who will so cordi ally welcome him amongst us. ft&T” Sheridan was once taken ill, in consequence of a fortnight’s continued dining out and dissipation. He sent for Dr. Heberden, who prescribed rigid abstinence and, calling again, soon afterwards, asked his patient if he was attending to that advice. The answer being affirmative—“Rigbt,” said the doctor; “’tis the only way to secure you length of days.”—“l do not doubt it,” said Sheridan ; “for these three last days, since I began have been the longest to me in my life.” Facts in Human Life. —The number of languages spoken is 3,074. The number of men is about equal to the number of women. The average of human life is 33 years. One-quarter die before the age of seven — one-half before the age of seventeen. To every 1,000 persons, one only reaches 100 years. To every 100, on ly 6 reach 65 years, and not more than one in 500 reac h the age of 80 years. There are on earth 1,000,000,- I 000 of inhabitants.

A friend clipped the following advertised “ no tice to liquor dealers and merchants,” from a California paper, and forwarded it to us. We publish it for thein formartion of the masses—to show them the wretched impositions which are practised upon them by liquor dealers. We have others sent by the same friend, which we intend publishing: A COMPLETE assortment of the Oils necessary for maklngand flavoring every variety of liquors, and a package of the ar ticle, used for giving ARTIFICIAL STRENGTH to liquors, (converting 70 gallons of Whiskey to 100 gal • Ions) and every article necessary to commence a LI QUOR STORE, will be furniseed for S2O. Also all the information necessary to conduct such an establish ment, thus enabling the new beginner to successfully complete with the oldest liquor dealers. Address, through the Post Office, P. LACOUR, New Orleans, La. <WV. Walksr.— -The Washington correspondent of the'New York Tribune, who is very likely in the confi dence of his ex-excellency, says that Gov. Walker in tends to take the stump against the administration in the South, and that he has letters approving his course, from leading democrats of Maryland and Texas. The store of Mr. E. P. Beauchamp, at Wood berry, Meriwether county, was destroyed by fire on Christmas night. Nothing was saved—goods, books, accounts, &c. were all burned up. Pefi field Property For Sale. We invite attention to the advertisement in this “issue, of Mr. A. M. Lansdell, offering all his property in this place for sale. He will %ell at public auction on Friday the 22d inst. if it is not old at private sale before that time. After a silence of some three or four weeks, j during which time many important changes have been made in the mechanical department of our office , we salute our friends with tha Crusader printed on new type throughout, from the “ head piece” down to the foot-sticks.” We leave it for pur readers to judge of tie appearance of the pa per, without presuming to bias their criticisms in its favor, by an editorial puff. Our Patrons may now expect a handsomely printed sheet, if nothing more, for we have the right kind of material, and have secured the services of a Printer who is emi nently qualified to conduct that braneh of the business in the proper style. The size of the pa per is considerably enlarged ; and in addition to that, thd advertisements are set in a mueh smaller type, which together, givesus about double the arnouut of reading matter which we had during the past year. We have, furthermore, Discarded all Patent Medicines, and henceforth shall advertise no nostrums what ever. Our paper has heretofore been an advertis ing medium for almost every species of patented medical humbuggery, but that medium is now closed. We design establishing a journal of the purest and most elevated moral principles; and to do that, we shall endeavor to guard its colums against the introduction of all matter which shall tend in the least to corrupt or vitiate. Mr. Yeazey has returned to his old post and will . again aid us in the editorial management of the pa per. He will conduct principally the Literary Department, on .the page at the top of which, his name is placed as Editor, and he alone will be responsible for whatever appears under that head. In consideration of the enlarged size of our sheet, the large increase of reading matter, and the enormous increase of expense consequent upon these changes, we are forced to raise the subscrip tion price to Two Dollars a-year Our terms have been heretofore One Dollar, but that amount is entirely too little for a weekly paper of any size, as every one who knows any thing of the expense in getting (Hit a newspaper, will readily admit. If the Crusader in future will he worth anything at all, it will certainly be worth two dollars, and those who do not consider it, worth anything, we expect will discontinue. We should like very much to retain all our patrons, as we expect to give them a paper which shall be more richly worth two dollars,, than the old Cru sader was worth one. We shall exert ourselves to reward our •paying subscribers for their money; and if w T e foil 4n the attempt, it will be a weak ness of the flesh, and not of the spirit. Those of our patrons who are in arrears, as well as those who have paid in advance for this year, will please remain quiet until they hear from us individually, as we expect to enclose to each sub scriber a statement of how he or she stands on our books, and the amount required of them. A Few will stand by us. We expect, as a matter of course, that a num ber of those whom we now have on our lists as subscribers, will drop off; some will quit in con sequence of the “ hard times,” and others on ac count of the subscription price being raised to two dollars; some for one reason and some for another; but we have a well-founded assurance that there are a few who will stand by us still. We have a number of whole-souled friends who will not be driven by frivolous contingencies from the support of an enterprise so worthy as ours. There are a multitude of genuine temperance men scattered over the State, and men of literary tastes, and men who love morality, all of whom ssiik lend as their cheering approbation, and ex tend to us m&bmal aid in prosecuting our labors. To all such we shall extend our grateful acknowl edgements, and it will be to us a source of great pleasure, to exert ourselves to the utmost in ca tering for their fancies. 9 Orders to Discontinue. , We have recently received from several of our subscribers, orders to discontinue their Crusaders; but as we were making a variety of popular chan ges in the paper, we thought, or rather hoped that when they saw the improvements which it had undergone they would re-consider the matter in our favor; and for that reason, we intentionally omitted to execute their orders to discontinue. We still hope they will decline the idea of stop ping the paper when they examine its merits and witness the improvements in its mechanical ap pearance. But if they are immoveable in [their determination to abandon us, we request them to drop us another line, stating the fact, and we will instanter execute their directions. We do not Fight Alone. “ They tell us that we are weak—unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we.be stronger? Will it he the next week or the next year? Shall we gather strength by irresolu tion and inaction ? We are not weak, if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Besides, we shall not fight alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.” The cause of temperance had its origin in bos oms akin to that of the Almighty. lie is its au thor, and He will he its finisher. Its enemies may triumph for a season, but it will ere long re suscitate its wearied forces, ancl casting itself once more into the breach, will bring forth the palm of victory. The God of temperance, of humanity and of religion will not suffer this cause to die, though it may for a while languish. “ Truth, tho’ crushed to the earth, will rise again, The eternal years of God are hers.” Our Foreman Printer. We have secured the services of Mr. John A. Reynolds, of Athens, as Foreman of our office during the present year. He is a gentleman of excellent moral character, and a man of honor and principle. He is thoroughly posted in all the departments of the printing business, and will take a pride in executing the mechanical part of our paper with neatness. Mr. Reynolds is extensively known as being the proprietor of the large Job Office which has been in Athens for a number of years, and he is one of the first Job Prihters in the State. We have se cured his extensive and well selected Job Office, and are now prepared to do any and all kinds of work which belong to that department. We can get out as handsome, and perlfaps as cheap .jobs as any other office in the State. A Rich Specimen. Editors have alfkinds of men to deal with, and they not (infrequently strike some hard cases. Below we give a letter from a post master, and judging from his style, we should pronounce him a hard nut. John H Seals Sir you have been notified long since to stop W P Glasses Crusader But it still comes to this office regularly I think if I was to edit a paper that people got tired of reading I would stop it when in formed of the fact this is the second time I have rit *en y°u to stop the paper and I hope you will do it for Mr Glass dont take the paper outten the office nor nasent for two months J- Stop the Dam thing & not trou ble me enny.more for I would not give this sheet of pa per I am writing on for your paper a hole year no touch piease let us hear from you no more Especially through you news paper collums Verry Respectfully „ Post master Nov 30U1857 at E Gn Wonder what can be the ideas of that fellow concerning the phrase “Very Respectfully?” We think the above remarkably respectful—as much so as could possibly come “ outten?* such a “and tiring” (the P Mat E.-—) Intemperance r l'riumi>liant. Let the truth he published wprld-wide, howe ver lamentable its announcement may be. that the Archfiend is victoriously predominant in all the length and breadth of our land. Like a great besom of destruction, it sweeps over tlfis fair Con tinent, blighting, withering and defacing all that is pure, beautiful and lovely. Men from every department of life, and of every religious creed, have from time to time banded themselves to gether for the purpose of arresting its progress; but like a dread Simoon, hot with the red winds of death, it continues to sweep across the bosom of our country, leaving a universal wreck behind. Its course widens, and its fury is hourly augmen ted ; and to-day the area of its devastating pro” gress is broader than at any other time during the last quarter of a century. Yes, the enemy is victorious. In his triumphant march are seen a few hard contested battle grounds, where a handful of brave temperance men fought like the little Spartan band at Ther mopylae, but they yielded to superior strength, and the spot is now marked by an “infernal ma chine” (grog-shop.) Many a good soldier who for a while bore his armour bravely, ere the contest ended, went, 7 like Benedict Arnold, against the cause of liberty. Fresh foot-prints of this monster evil may be traced throughout all the ramifications of society, and in every avenue of the business world. The minister in the sacred desk has fallen a victim to its wiles; the heads of government have yielded to its seductive influen ces ; the poet, the orator, the artist, architect, peasant—all grades of humanity have rushed madly into this Maelstrom of iniquity, and have experienced the “dastardly despair” which mad dening Pentheus felt when baited round Citlie ron’s sides. The frauds and enormities of this “destruction that wasteth at noonday,” blasting the peace and harmony of society, and annually sweeping off more than thirty thousand of our fellow-countrymen into the drunkard’s grave, and the draunkard’s hell, have been faithfully un veiled to the public gaze; the deep miseries and damning degregation of drunkenness have been depicted inutile Jburning words of truth and elo quence ; the most earnest appeals have been made to the humanitythe patriotism, the virtue and the religion of the people, in the hope of arousing them to a sense of their danger, and uniting them in a combined and vigorous effort against this blighter of human hopes, and destroyer of human happiness. Yet, strange as it may seem, the great majority of the people, and among them profes sors of religion, and fathers and mothers are to tally indifferent and unconcerned on the subject. 0, what a strange apathy! Men whose bosoms once throbbed with heartfelt sympathy’ for de graded and oppressed humanity t can now gaze with stoic indifference upon tho victim of intem perance reeking with filth, and frenzy with de lirium. Those who were once leading members in flourishing organizations have seen their socie ties disbanded and their charters forfeited, with out uttering a sigh of regret; the bugle-note of reformation has ceased to find a responsive echo in the hearts of the once faithful; the gavel of the Worthy Patriarch lies stilt on the desk, with no division to come to order at its signal : empty Division Rooms and the fearful increase of retail establishments all over the country tell the sad, yet true tale, that temperance is fast waning. That it will ever be true, remains yet to be seen. It rests, with the people to contradict it by their actions. Fashionable Call, anil all they said. The following sample of a fashionable “pop call,” so common and popular among the girls now a days we picked from among the floating items of the times, and submit it to our fair friends for their decision as to its correctness. We think it sounds quite natural indeed. —“How do you do, my dear?” Putty well, thank you.” (They kiss.) “ITow have you been this age ?” “Putty well. How have you been ?” “Very well, thank you.” “Pleasant to-day.” Yes very bright; but we had a shower yesterday.”— “Are all your people well ?” “Quite well, thank you. How are yours ?” “Very well—l’m oblig ed to you.” “Have you seen Mary B —, lately ?” “No ; but I’ve seen Susan G .” “You don’t say so ! Is she well ?” “Very well, I believe.” (Rising.) “Must you go ?’; “Do call again, soon.” “Thank yon : but you don’t call on me once in an age.*’ “O, yon should not say so! I’m sure I’m very good.” “Good bye.” Gough on Water. The following is anotherof Gough’sapostrophies to water. Nothing can be more beautiful and sweet. It’s easy, graceful, and liquid flow, fills the bosom of the reader with emotions so grand and pleasant, that no one can tire from reading it. Can any thing be said, half so beautiful, in behalf bf brain inflaming wine ? The beauty of this apostrophe no doubt becomes moro conspicuous when recited by the world-renowned temperance lecturer : “Water ! oh, bright, beautiful water for me ! Water ! heaven-gifted, earth-blessing, flower lov ing water! It was the drink of Adam in his Eden home ; it mirrored back the beauty of Eve in her unblushing toilet; it wakens to life again the crushed and fading flower ; it cools, oh how gratefully ! the parched tongue of the feverish in valid ; it falls down to us in pleasant showers from its home with the glittering stars ; it descends to us in feathery storms of snow ; it smiles in glitter ing dewdrops at the glad birth of morning ; it clusters in groat tear-drops at night over the gi’aves of those we love ; its name is wreathed in strange bright colors by the sunset cloud ; its name is breathed by the dying~soldier„ far away on the torrid field of battle ; it paints old forts and turrets from a gorgeous easel upon your winter window : it clings upon ihe branches of trees in frostwork of delicate beauty; it dwells in the icicle ; it lives in the mountain glacier; it forms tire vapory ground-work upon which God paints the rainbow ; it gushes in pear ly streams from the gentle hill-side; it makes glad the sunny vales ; ii murmers cheerful songs in the ear of the humble cottager : it answers back the smiles of happy children : it kisses the pure cheek of the water lillv : it wanders like a vein" of molten silver away, away to the distant sea. Oh ! bright, beautiful, health inspiring, heart-gladdening water ! Every where around us dwelleth thy meek presence : twin angel sister of all that is good and precious here; in the wild forest, on the grassy plain, slumbering in the bo som of the lonely mountain, sailing with.viewless wing through the humid air, floating over us in cur tains of more than regal splendor; homo of the healing angel when his wings bend to the woes of this fallen world;” “Oh water for me, bright water for me ! And wine for the tremulous delmuche !” The Doom of the World. The North British Review is responsible for the ap pended volcanic and frightening fragment of eloquence. Wo do trust that the evidences in its possession of the “grand finale” of things on this sublunary satellite, are not sufficieetly strong to enable the Review to point the day of thj im pending revulsion at any time soon. What this change is to he, we dare not even conjecture, but we .see in thadieavens themselves some traces of destructive elements'and some.in dications of their power. Tito fragments ofbrolc *en planets —the descent of lnfteoric stones upon our globe—the wheeling comoW welding then;; loose materials at furnace—the voleanio r eruptiort in our own satellite, the appearance of new stars,, and the disappearance of others—are all foreshadows of that impending oonvu’sion to which the system of the world is doomed. Thus placed on a planet which is to be burnt up, and under heavens which are to pass away ; thus reading; as it were, on the cemeteries, and dwell ing upon ihe mausoleums of former worlds, let us learn the lesson of humility and wisdom, if we have not already been taught in the school of revelation. . ’Broke Jail. —Young Witcher, who killed his father in this city, last Spring, and two or three other persons routined in the jail al Atlanta, escaped, a few days since; by burning through the floor, and are still at large. BfjV, By authority of Dr. Win, Morgan, we noti fy the public generally that the anticipated co partnership between himself and Dr. A . R. Clif ford, in the practice of Dentistry will not go into effect. Dr. Morgan wjll be found at all times, when not professionally engaged, at his ofliee in Penfield. Associate EilitreSs, We are more than happy to announce that Mrs. Mary E. Bryan, of Thomasville. has accept ed the position of associate Editress of this paper, and will conduct the lady’s Department. She is a writer of the very first order of talent, as her popular contributions to various papers in this State amply testify. Tho Crusader can soon boast of three editors, and with such a force, we think it possible to make it a journal of merit . Mrs. Bryan’s salutatory will appear in the next issue, or in the one following. ‘I lie Ray for t.lie Times. “We like an active boyisaysthe Southern Organ, one who has the impulse of the age—the steam engine—in him. A lazy, plodding, snail-paced chap might have got along in the world fifty years ago, but lie won’t do for these times. We live in an age of quick ideas ; men think quickly, speak quickly, eat, sleep, court, marry, die quick ly, and slow coaches are not tolerated “Go ahead if you burst your boiler,” is the motto of the age: and he succeeds the best in every line of business who has the most of “do or die” in him. Strive, boys, to catch the spirit of the times; be up and dressed always, not gapping and rub bing yout eyes as if you were fast asleep, but wide awake, whatever may turn up, and you may be somebody before you die. Think, plan, reflect, as much as you please be fore you act, but think quickly and closely, and when you have fixed your eyes upon an object, spring to the mark at once. But above all things, be honest. If you intend to l>e an artist, carve it in the wood, chisel it in the marble; if a merchant, write it in your day book and spread it in capitals in your ledger.— Let honesty of purpose be your guiding star. We belive in seeing boys smart and active— and, in truth, we have no endurance for any other kind; but the advice of the Southern Or gan, urging them “ t o catch the spirit of the times,” is rather had advice, and altogether unnecessary; for that is the first thing that boys catch, in these fast days. And the 2.4< I career of a fast youth is any thing hut enviable. Someone who has been a correct observer of such things, thus describes these premature specimens, under the caption of Plain Triilli : “A young gentleman—a smooth faced strip ling, with little breeding and less sense, ripens fast, and believes himself a nice young man. He chews and smokes tobacco, swears genteelly, coaxes embryo imperials with bear’sgreese, twirls a rattan, spends his father’s money, rides last horses—on horseback and in sulkeys—double and single—drinks Catawba, curses the Maine law and flirts with young ‘ ladies’—hundreds of which are just like himself, though of a different gender; and this is the fashionable education of the day. The fathers and mothers of those fools were once poor. Good fortune has given them abundance. Their children go through with an inexhaustible fortune, and,into the poor house. Parents, you are responsible for this folly. Set your sons and daughters to work, and let them Know that only in usefulness there is honor and prosperity.” • ‘Fiic Caption o!

BQL,How differently the very same thing may be described! The great poetess Elizabeth Brow ning says: — “ First time lie kissed me —but he only kissed The fingers of this hand wherewith I write — And, ever since, it grew more clear and white, Slow to world greeting —quick with its “Oh, list!” When the angels speak. A ring oi amethyst I could not wear her plainer to my sight Than that first kiss. The second passed in height The first, and sought the forehead—and half missed, Falling upon my hair. Oh, beyond meed, That was the chrism of love, which love’sown crown, With sanctifying sweetness, did precede. The third upon my lips was lolded down In perfect, purple state! Since when, indeed, 1 have been proud, and said, ‘ My love, my own.’ ” “Sut Lovengood,” of Tennessee, has experi enced a similar felicity, and describes it in the following style:—“l happened to pass next day; ov cours I stopped to enjoy a look at the temp ter, an she wav mighty luvin to me; put wun arm round my neck, and tothcr wun wliar the circin gle goes around a boss, tuk the “inturn on me with her left foot,” and gin me a kiss. Says she, “Sutty, love, I’ve got sumtliin for you, anew sensashun”—an I belive it, for I begun to feel it “already. My toes felt as if minners wur a nib blin at urn-—a cold streak run up and down my back like a lizard with a turkey hen after him in setting time, and my stummiek#was hot and on-satisfied like.” Strange if True. Some fellow clipped the following from the Philadelphia Evening Post, and says it is “strange if true.” We think so too. “Asa man was walking in his garden he dis covered two clothes-horses, lie took them into his stable where lie soon broke them. He then put the yolk of an egg on their necks, attached them to a cart with the bonds of friendship, and covered them -with lightning to protect them from the flies. Ho then leaped upon the cart, sat upon the seat of government, took the whip of a top in one hand, and the reins of sev eral kings in another, and drove off, passing through the gait of a buffalo, over the ground coil’ee for three miles; but in crossing the track of a snail, he was run into by a train of thought, and dashed heals over head into a stream of elo quence where his cart was broken to pieces against the rock of a cradle. By industry and frugality he soon gained the shore, where he formed a boat of the bark of a prairie-wolf, which he fitted with a mast made of the north pole, and two auction sales. He then sailed down the river to its mouth, and landed upon a tongue of land, where he was seized by a serious sensation and conveyed to a cell whore lie was secured by chain lightning fastened by a thunder-bolt. The jailer gave him his liberty for a Christmas present, and read to him the report of a cannon.” “ Jack,” said a man to a. lad just entering his teens, “your father is drowned.”—“Darn it.” replied the Voung hopeful, “and he’s got my knife in his pocket.” Asa soul in heaven may look hack on earth, and smile at its past sorrows, so, even here, it may rise to a sphere where it may look down oil the storm that once threatened to over whem it. Why don’t you wear your ring, myjdaugh ter, when you go outwalking?”—“Because, papa, it hurts me when any one squeezes my hand.” Twenty-One tons of ingots of silver arrived at the IT. 8.

Whereas, since our last regular meeting, by the dis pensation of an Allwise Creator, we have been culled upon to perform the last sail duty we owed to our be loved broiheiq Alexander F. Hell, wbo was a faithful member ofthis Lodge. We feel it a duty, as well as a , high privilege, to pay a tribute of respect to his memo ry as a token ot our brotherly regard. Brother Bell de parted this life on the 26th of.November, 1857, aged 17 years, 4 months and 24 days. He is no more upon earth; we have laid him silently in the cold and gloom> charnal house; his seat is now vacant in the Lodge loom ; he will be among us no more to aid in the grear temperance reform—a cause lie loved and espoused; while yet in his boyhood, he has gona to that home, from whence no traveller ever returns. He has been a consistent member of theM. E. Church for several years past, and has always filled his station in the Lodge, with credit to himself and honor to the cause in which lie was engaged. We lcel that in the death oi brother Bell, Miller Lodgd has lost a faithful and exemplary member, and his fond and devoted parents, a strong stay in their declining years. Therefore be it resolved, That we deeply sympathise with the sorrowing and sorely afflicted parents and rel atives; and do hereby tender them our condolence in this their painful bereavement. Resolved; That the Lodge wear the usual badge ol mourning for the space of thirty days; and that the In oilier Recorder leave a blank sheet on his book, .hav ing inscribed thereon the name, age and demise of our deceased brother. Resolved, That this tribute of respect to the memo ry of our departed brother, he published in the Temper ance Crusader, and Sumpter Republican, nnd a copy handed to the much afflicted family, as an assurance of our friendship and love.
