The Georgia Press Association meets in Macon on the 28th inst. A good many office seekers arc still in Washington. The Georgia Horticultural Society, which meets iu Griffin this year, has been called to meet on July 31st and 1st and 2nd of August, by President Berckmnns. This society is one ol the most important bodies in the state, and has quite a number of members in Thomas county. They will have a most interesting session in Griffin, which is one of the most important fruit points in the State. Broadening Their Faith. We are entering what seems to he an age of liberal thought in religious matters. Dr. Woodrow, in Chatta nooga, has laid down the postulate, that he was compelled to follow the ruling of l is church which clashed with his own conscience or judgement presumably in the matter ot evolu tion. Dr. Howard Crosby, of New York, in whose church the Presbyterian As sembly of the North is meeting, de- sc ilie's that part of the Confession of Faith in regard to predestination as a metaphysical figment of Augustine and Calvin, and asserts that the great mass of Northern Presbyterians <: o not believe it. He is one of the h ad ing advocates of the proposed change, and another is the Rev. Lewis Lamp- man, who told the Newark Presbyte rian last week that he didn’t believe that kind of doctrine, did believe and preach the oppos'te of it, and was for throwing it overboard. 9 The clauses in his chapter which liberal Presbyterians regard as stand ing in especial need ot revision are the third, fourth, sixth and seventh, and they concern the doctrine of pre destination. The third is as follows: “By the decree of God, for the manifestation ol His glory, some men and angels nre predestinated unto everlasting and others foreordained tb everlasting death.” The other clauses present variations of the same ideas, and they are said to be stumbling blocks in the way of many Presbyterians in this nineteenth cer tury. The bc£ -T>inion seems to be that the General Assembly, instead of tak ing final action this year, will send down the question to the Presbyter ies for a general expression of their views and wishes in the premises.-- Augusta Chronicle. A correspondent of the New 'i ork Herald says: “Presidential postmas ters will be allowed to serve out their four vear terms from the date of con firmation by the Sen ite. P lstmaster- Gencral Wanamaker made this plain on Wednesday by stating that ‘the president is not making removals ex cept tor cause.’ He added that to dis place a postmaster before his term ex pired would he a removal. This is the first authoritative declaration that has been made on this subject. It means that there will bo no more postmasters appointed at piesidential offices until January, except to till vacancies caused by death or. resigna tion or removal for a flagrant cause.” Stand by our Own People. Why send away from Augusta to buy what our own merchants keep for sale at home? These men pay the taxes, sustain the trade, keep up the town. If our people would have the city grow and our stores filled with the best line ot goods, _ where things may he procured easily and cheaplv, the best way to do is to pat ronize the men who keep the'Stores. That is the best way to build up a city. The best economy is the sup port of our local dealers. Stand by Augusta in all things. It will help the town and help you. Patronize home enterprise. Trade at home. Talk up your home dealers. It is the most hopeful and helpful sign of a growing city. The above from the Augusta Chronicle applies with equal force to Thomasville, and we beg to make and enforce the application to our own town. Stand by everybody and every thing, every enterprise, which will contribute to the growth and prosper ity of Thomasville. Let our people be united on this line, mid the town will flourish aud grow; let them take a contrary course and industries and trade will languish and the town will just drag along. Stand by your mer chants, your bankers, your manu facturers, your dealers in everything, from the greatest to the least, aud the place will pulsate with renewed life, every department will feel the good effects of borne support, aud Thomas ville will grow and expand beyond the expectations of the most hopeful and sanguine. - . The New First Reader. “Do you see that machine?” “Yes I see it: it is a strange thing. What is it for —a brickyard?” “Oh, no; its called a stuffer.” “To stuff sausages? No, to stuff school-children. Cotne ind examine it. You put a child from 10 to 14 years of age into this end, aud iuto the other you place thirteen examples in fractious, three pages of history, two .of grammar, three of orthography, an hour of writing, and a yard of algebra, and when all is ready loosen this spring, and the child is duly stuffed.” “It must be very nice.” “It is. The schooling ot the average pupil can be shortened up several years by this process, much to the honor and credit of the teacher.” “But don’t pupils die under the stuffing?” “Lots of them hut it is laid to a too active braiu.” Are there many stuffers in use?” ‘There is an average of tjno to every school iu town, aud some have two. You may now run up aud down four pairs of stairs to expand your lungs.” —Detroit Free Press. There is a moral iu the above which will appear to all. Thousands of children are being “stufled” in the schools as now conducted, to the det riment of brain and muscle. Stop the stuffing process and save the children Police Statistics in New York. The report of the' police commis sioners of New York city for the last year contains some interesting figures. It shows, for instance, that of the 85, 049 people arrested in that city during the year, on one charge and anolher. 56 639 were unmarried. If the report had been published it the time the discussion of the question, whether or not marriage is a failure, was being carried on, the fact that considerably more than one half the persons arrest ed were unmarried m ght have been cued as showing that marriage is a conservator ot order and good morals. Another interesting tact shown is that more than one half of the persons ar rested were of foreign birth, Germans. Russians and Italians figuring most conspicuouly in the report. The im migration of Germans, Russians and Italians to this country is very exten sive, and it these figures are worth anything they would seem to indicate that it is among the nationalities nam ed that there is the greatest need for restriction in immigration. Of the persons arrested, 32.000 were between the ages of 20 and 30 years, and 8.300 were more than 50 years old; 64.094 were males, and 19 955 were females. No occupation was assigned in 19.668 cases, and of those whose occupations were given, bar tenders led,numbering 3,816, and printers came next, num bering 1,113. There were 118 book keepers, 117 musicians, 97 actors, 95 lawyers. 82 physicians, 75 ice men, 60 boarding house keepers, 55 soldiers, 31 undertakers, 25 policemen, 15 pri vate detectives, 18 cashiers and 11 letter carriers. —News, A Man Like Lazarus. .

Fi nally, I went before a board .of physicians at Tallahassee and was examined, and my case was declared to be a virulent case of blood poison, and all the medicine they gave me failed to eradicate the dreaded disease, and my life was in danger. I lost the use of my left arm, and a physician ot this place said my arm would have to be amputated. The cor ruption that came from various sores was so offensive that I disliked to come in contact with my friends ai d neighbors.

A small, lean head, with a tapering, finely pointed muzzle, a light jaw, and large, luminous eyes, are the most ad mirable features of hqi frontispiece, which is adorned by a white star in the middle of his forehead, and ^ stripe that extends not quite to his nose. He has a tapering, blood like nock, magnificent shoulders, a deep chest, aud absolutely perfect legs, a back of moderate length, a rather light barrel, and stands upon four small flinty feet, that are, so far as his work has shown, without a blemish. His quarters are of t he racing pattern, and a pair ot clean aud well-muscled “cat hams,” make up the entirety of his personal appearance, save the white stockings that ornament his hind legs clean up to the hock.

Hawkins in order to insure the building of another line of railway into Savannah. And it will be a good investment for that city. Speaking of this the Morning News says: The canvassing committee has met and subdivided the committee for a thorough aud efficient canvass, aud tho work will be entered upon to-day. In addition to the assurances of Col. Hawkins, president of the road. Presi dent Baglcy, of the Atnericus Invest ment Company, says that as soon as the fund is raised and an option for suitable terminal facilities is obtained, the grentest activity, will begin along, the line of the proposed extension, and a large force of men will be put on the line with a view of completing it to Savannah six months earlier than under the guarantee of Col Hawkins.

Weed in the imerest of the Americus road divided itself up into about a dozen sub-committees,in which each branch ot the commercial busi ness is represented by committeemen corresponding in business to the par ties to be visited. It is understood tW the canvassing committees have met with encouragement from many quarters, and the indications are favor able for raising the amount required.” 1,000,000 Child-Widows. Edward Everett Hale, talking be fore the Ramabai Association in New York, on Monday, iu furtherance of a fund for the child-widows of India, mentioned some interesting facts. He said that in India there are 100,- 000.000 women. Twenty million ot these arc widows, and nearly 1,000,000 are “child widows”—under the age of 19—who aie enduring a bondage worse thau slavery. He said it was the custom for a man in India to hnvn as high as 100 wives, soma of whom were compelled to marry as early rs 8 or 9 years of ago. When the hus band died his numerous wives joined the vast army of slaves. These wid ows arc compelled to wear one dress, have to eat one meal a day, are never allowed to speak to a man, exaeptipj their flesh and blood relatives, one cannot marry again except to a man In their own cast, which very rarely happens.
