An Appeal.
To the people of Georgia; On the
25th ult., the Lumpkin Masonic Fe
male College was totally destroyed
by fire. The building was erected in
1853 and cost $12,000. It bad been
the pride^and ornament of our towu
lor years, and now when we are im
poverished it is swept away. To hear
of its destruction will sudden the
hearts Of many ladies of Georgia who
were educated at this college and will
bring a pang ol grief to the parent
who is indebted to this institution
for the training of bis children. We
wish to rebuild, but not such an ex
pensive edifice, and regret that our
community is not able to even do
this. We ask for contributions to
aid us, and we believe that our sp
peal will not be in vuin. Any
amount will be received, and acknow
ledgement will be made thiough the
press, and tbe fund will be d« posited

The Bailee* Centennial.
Atlanta, April 8.—It is well
known that then is s*»on to be held
in London a kind of a World’s Sun
day school Convention in connection
with the “Raikes Centennial,” Since
the days of her establishment as a
colony by Oglethorpe, Georgia has
been conspicuous for her Sunday-
school enterprises. It is very much
desired tha' she be represented at
London. This is thereiure to give
notice to the Sunday-school workers
of Gt-orgia that the executivi com-
mi'teeof the fitatI*association is ready
to make appointments of delegates.
Those ;ho desire to go as such will
address their applications at once to
the secretary A l the association. He
will lay the application before tbe
committe, and will furnish to those
persons who may bt* appointed cer
tificates and other such requisites.

chants for tha means to make this
year's crop ? If than, with tbe ex
ceptiooally favwrable eircumetaooes
of the pa«t year, little money wee
made, what can we rationally expect
this year, when the pnoe we shall
get tor our ootton will almost oer
taitily fall ooder a largely ioortaard
production, and when the ootl of
every article that we need, and mtiat
have, has alrecdy advanced from 15
to 50 |ier cent ? We may ask: “How
do you know that the price of cotton
will fall ?" We answer, wc do not
know positively, of course; but we
do know that prices of every com
modity are regulated by tbe uovary
ing law of supply and demand, aud
that whenever the supply of any ar
ticle exoeeds the demand, the price
of that article decreases, it may' be,
far below the coat of production. Tbe
political outlook in the Old World
and in our own country this year is
not so perfectly serene as to enoou r-
