One ot the best sermons we have ever listened to was preached at the tabernacle last Sabbath by Dr. W. A. Candler. It was sound, it was logic, it was tender, it was pathetic, it was strong, it was simple, it was high, it was evervthing a good sermon ought to be. His subject ~ was : “The suffering of Chris, as it enters into the life of a Christian.

The bolting of the big city dai¬ lies is in striking contrast with the conduct of the country newspapers which, almost without exception, are standing by the candidates of their respective parties. The rea¬ son, as a contemporary remarks, is plain . The city newspapers are owned by outside syndicates who care nothing for party principles, but who compel the newspapers which they own to support the can¬ didates who will best subserve their personal interests. The coun¬ try newspapers, as a rule, are own- ed by the men who publish them. They are controlled by no outside bosses, and they stand by their par¬ ties and principles. Unless we are greatly mistaken the present campaign will forcibly demonstrate the purity and influence of the coun¬ try press. Even at this early stage, so far as can be seen, the bolting of the metropolitan dailies is cutting a very small figure in the political world.—-Press and Printers. Athens Presbytery Will meet at Thyatira church on Thursday, September 3d, at 8 p, m.

McConnell Lea¬ ther Co. a few days since ; this en¬ terprise is one of the largest of its kind in Georgia, and it is equipped with the latest improved machin¬ ery and is under the able manage¬ ment of Mr. Garrett, formerly with G. II. Hume, of Athens. Mr. Garrett is well versed in leather making and turns out leather that can’t be surpassed by any of the Northern tanneries. One of Geor¬ gia’s largest shoe foctories prefers to use the leather made by the Me Connell Leather Co. in preference to Northern made goods, as it is of better quality and finish, This seems to be enough to convince any one that we can manufacture our goods at home and not be polled to pay the enormous freight ra ^ s " inch weaie now compelled 1° P a Y- Mateiial ot all kinds is un- exhaustable and labor is cheap.
