Local Matters
Judge Hansel! has been hearing
some cases in chambers to day.
If yon would hear some excellent
music go to the South Georgia Col
lege chapel to-night.
Wash Robinson and James Chap
man, colored, were tried and found
uilty before Judge Mitchell yestcr-
ay of criminal trespass. Robinson
was fined ?">6 or seven months, and
Chapman was given his choice of $26
or three months.
A lady, who was alone last night,
discovered a man in the yard about
ten o’clock. Two gentlemen in the
neighborhood responded to the lady's
request and inspected the premises.
The man had disappeared. Moral:
Look out for suspicious characters.
The concert to he given by the
music scholars of the South Georgia
College will come off to-night. This
department has been under the care
ful training of Miss Mary Laurie.
This is n sufficient guarantee thnt the
pupils have been well and thoroughly
taught.
Rev. 8. S. Broadeuex, who has re
cently been called to the pastorate of
the first African Baptist church here,
will be duly installed next Sunday,
the 30th inst. Tho Corresponding
ecretary of the State Baptist Con-
tion, Rev. C. H. Lyon, Rev. N.
illiamson and others are exnect-

lly invited.

Education in Georgia.
The presence of Chancellor Boggs
in our city ought to give the cause of
education in her section an impetus.
The distinguished gentleman is the
guest of Col. A. T. MacIntyre and
will remain here till Wednesday
morning, rt which time ho goes to
Albany, where he will deliver a ad
dress on Education. Thursday he
will deliver an address at Waycross,
and the next day he will be at Amer
icas. After that date he will take a
weeks vacation. In speaking ot the
cause of higher education in the state
the Augusta Chronicle pays Dr. Boggs
a very high and a deserved compli
ment.
“It is just in this direction, and for
this cause, that Chancellor Boggs is
now at work. He has an able facul
ty and a sympathetic board of trus
tees. His alumni arc enthuiastic in
his support. Nothing‘but the con
viction that he owes this much to his
country and his race influenced him
in leaving his pulpit and quitting the
service of a devoted community. It
is a high mission, and he is profound
ly impressed with its tremendous im
port. Ho is a broad, liberal man, full
of felling, hut inflexible in his con
ception ot duty. He was made of just
the stud for such a crisis. When wa>-
was declared lie took his Bible and
his musket and marched to the call of
his country. When yellow pestilence
stalked in his homo he walked un
flinchingly among the stricken and
the dead, performing the most exact
ing and sacred offices of earthly call
ing. He is the creature of command
ing courage. Friendship and favor
itism are nothing before his exalted
sense of duty. Should lie sec a man,
whether teacher or student, fulling
behind in his department, lie will call
him back to his work or advise him
to retire. If nftcr a term of service
he should he convinced, from any
reason, ot his own inability to carry
on his administration upon his own
high plane, lie • would promptly lay
that sort of man, and no leas a man
could fill tho position of chancellor at
this time.”

1 he Mar ietta Journal has. jliisto
say in fr V()r 0 f college commencements
an< t School exhibitions:
A good many people object to
school exhibitions on the ground that
they take too much time from study.
They do take time it is true, but wc
know of nothing that gives a school a
better scud oil, or more character
than a well managed, successful exhi
bition. It gives a boy or a girl self-
confidence, a grace, an ease in society
that nothing else can give. A knowl
edge of books is not all of an educa
tion by a long sight, it is only the
foundation, tho underpinning as it
were. Success comes from knowing
what to do, and how to do; what to
say and how to say. It takes address,
grace and self-reliance to do and say
these things.
THE GEORGIA EDITORS.
They Return Thank9 for Courtesies Ex
tended on their Recent Western Trip.
The committee appointed at the
recent annual meeting of the Georgia
Press Association, which assembled in
Macon, Ga., report as follows:
The members of the Georgia Press
Association, ever mindful of the cour
tesies which have been so generously
extended to them wherever the body
bus met or traveled witbin the State
or out, desire tlfat this recognition fo
courtesies shall not be construed as a
mere formal expression of thanks,
which shall discharge all the obliga
tions under which they have been
placed; hut as a grateful remembrance
of one of the most pleasant and in
structive excursions ever tendered to,
and enjoyed by, the association; and
they hope to use the knowledge so
gained that it may advance the best
interests of the people of Georgia for
years to conic.
Wc recognize in the Central rail
road of Georgia a most important fac
tor in the development of the material
resources aud prosperity of Georgia, a
corporation which stands ready and
willing to do all in its power to ad
vance tho interests of the people of
Georgia, by giving them rapid and
cheap transportation, and opening up
new markets for their produce.
Our recent trip over its linos and
connections to tiic Northwest, has
convinced us that in a few years this
must become one of tho most import
ant highways to the Atlantic coast,
and must necessarily build up our sea
ports awl advance the prosperity of
the whole State. While it gives to
tlie Northwest a new and shorter route
to the export markets, it also opens
up to Georgia new and profitable
markets for her cotton goods, iron and
lit in her.
The courtesy which not only pro
vided us transportation over its lines
and connections, but provided for our
com fort by tendering to us a special
train of sleepers and coaches, will
ever be held in grateful remembrance.
Tn tlhr ctmnectia*- w**iW iyuh to
return our thunks for the courtesies
extenden to us by tho officials of the
Kansas City, Memphis and Birming
ham; Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis; Missouri Pacific, Louisville
and Nashville; Nashville, Chattanoo
ga and St. Louis; and Western and
Atlantic railroads, who did so much
to make our excursion a pleasant one.
To Mr. Frank O’Brien, and other
citizens of Birmingham, wc are in
debted for special opportunities for in
vestigating the coal and iron mines,
and extensive manufacturing indus
tries of this indeed “Magic City,” in
whose prosperity wc rejoice as that of
a brilliant illustration of the imlus*.
trial resources of ,>»»«- veil ' sunny
South.” ' . ■ i ,• i i
We were surprised and delighted
with our visit to Memphis—surprised
at finding such great .commercial life
and development in a city but a few
years since devastated by plague, and
regarded as dead; delighted with its
massive and modern business blocks
and beautiful residences, and charmed
with the genial hospitality of its peo
ple. With indomitable energy it lias
built itself lip ns the greatest inland
market for the greatest staple in the
world, aiul wo bid the beautiful city
God speed in its inarch ot progress.
To the mayor and citizens of the
beautiful little city ot Springfield,
Mo., we tender our thanks for a most
cordial reception, and regret that cir
cumstances would not permit uur ac
cepting their invitation to spend sr
longer time with them.
Kansas City, that wonderful illus
tration of the energy and progress of
the great Northwest, was to us a rev
elation of enterprise, determination
aud thrift. An examination of its
tunny industries', its mammoth stock-
yards and packing houses, left upon
our minds the impression that it must
within a few years become among the
greatest of the great trade centers of
this great country, and we congratu
late the people of Georgia that they
now have direct railroad communica
tion with it.
The cordial and kindly reception
tendered to us by the Commercial
Club in its handsome rooms, will ever
ho remembered as one of the most
pleasant incidents of the excursion,
for wc were made to feel that wc were
brothers, united for a common pur
pose under one flag, respected by and
respecting each other, in’our differ
ences of opinion.
In St. Louis we found a solid and
conservative city, with a steady
f rowth that fears no collapse. To Mr.
lenry Shaw wc arc indebted lor
special courtesies in opening to us the
finest- botanical gartten in America,
and in welcoming us to his home.
Wc recognize in him a public bene
factor, who has done much for human
ity in cultivating in them a taste for
tho beautiful in nature, and in pro
viding foi- tho people of his city pure
and pleasant places of recreation.
We regret that time did not |>ermit
us a longer stay in Nashville, for in
the few hours wc spent within its
limits, wc were impressed with the
enterprise and libcralty oj^its people
and the bright outlook for the growth
and prosperity of the city.
To President Watkins, of the Chat
tanooga and Lookout Mountain rail
way, wc arc indebted for one of the
most plcasurablo of the many pleasant
features of our trip—tho ascent by
rail to the top of Lookout Mountain,
where] wc enjoyed a view, that for
bcautv and grandeur, cannot be sur
passed.
Wc cannot close this report without
expressing our thanks to Col. W. L.
Glcssucr, who got up the delightful
excursion, and who was with us
through tho whole trip, working in
dustriously for our pleasure and com
fort. Respectfully,
J. W. Burke,
E. C. Machen,

“Oh, my back!" is a common exclamation,
ai:d expresses a world of misery and suffer
ing. It is singular this pain arises from such
various ca uses. Kidney disease, liver com
plaint, wasting affections, colds,rheumatism,
dyspepsia, overwork and nervous debility are
chief causes. When thus ailing seek prompt
relief. It can be found best in Brown’s Iron
Bitters. It builds up from the foundation by
making the blood rich and pure. Leading
physicians and ministers use and recommend
it. It has cured many, and if you arc suffer
