Every member of the committee Is earnestly requested to attend. The time of primary election for county officers will be fixed then. * R. P. Doss, Chm’n. Thomasville, Oct, 11,1890, Short Sunday Texts. Be good for good’s sake. Say no evil of other. 1 . Sunday Christians are plentiful. Every one has some good trait. Charity is the greatest of virtues. Truo affection is not born in a day. •Learn to say no, wlien it is necessary. Christianity is the sheet anchor society. Hold on to your friends with hooks of steel. A smiling face ofttimes conceals breaking heart. Never assume any obligation you cannot liquidate. The smallest shoe sometimes covers the tenderest corn. Despise not little things: they make up the sum of life. A false friend is more dangerous than au open enemy. Piety and prudishness do not, cessarlly, go toge ther. Always bo true to self: others will also then bo truo to you. Tho man who does not believe in hereafter, is groping in the dark. Never say behind one’s back what you would cot say to their face. The gloom of to-(fay will be follow ed by the sunshine of to-morrow. Borne pcopie deserve more credit for being good than others. Birds with the brightest plumage do not always sing the sweetest. When a man is perfectly satisfied with himself, he is in a very bad way. Don't jostle; there is room enough in this big world of ours for everybody. The world will wag alung, much in tho i'ame old way, after wo’ve left it; A man who will abase a dumb beast, has something of tho bruto in his make up. The upright, honest, sincero Chris tian gentleman is respected ny the worst character. Train tip a child in tho way should not go, and it will not dopart from it, when older. The village or town gossip is a dan gcrous character. Avoid them os you would the plague. A person who is always running down and suspecting others, will bear watching themselves.| The longest prayers are not always answered first. Some of them may not be answered at all. If happiness could be bought with money, Jay Gould would bo a mighty happy man. But he isn’t ^ Help the staggering and fallen. Even a kind and encouraging word may reclaim such an one. Money is not the root of all evil; but an inordinate lovo of lucre, is a source of very great evil. Economy should not be merged in to penuriousne3s. The first is com mendable; tho lust is despicable. Tho book of nature is always opon to the humblest; and from it lessons may be learned every day. . The countenance is not always an index to character; some of the worst rascals wear the smoothest faces. The smile of a woman has won many a man hack to rectitude; and it has lured many a one to his ruin. Never put on paper what you would bo unwilling for every body to read. No telling whoso bands it may fall into. Preaching should be by both pre cept and cxamplo. The first, in the absence of the latter, does not amount to much. It is very common to talk about the “black sheep in the flock.” Let’s say. something about the white sheep in the flock- The churph membcr % \yho occupies a pew in tho amen. corner, on Sunday, and who refuses to open his heart and purse to cases of known charity, will find his titles to a mansion in tho skies bogus. Railroad Notes. A new combination smoker and baggage car has been placed on the Albany train. Superintendent Mays and manager Cronin, of the Soiithorn Express Company, left yesterday morning for other points. A carload of school house fixtures has been sent through the city, cn route to Aucilla. A drunken whito mnn painted the tilings around tho depot a bright red yesterday on the arrival of No. 7. He insisted on making the lives of the passengers in the passenger coach miserable, until ejected from the depot by policeman Harman. He was very abusive. The Episcopal Choir. The Episcopal choir is composed of Miss Francis Forbes, organist; Misses Ella Stuart and Rosalie Haw kins, soprano; Miss Birdie Woodson, alto, and Messrs. Pete Bono and W. W. Lynn, tenor, and J. E. B. Love, bass. A Manly Address. We can only call attention to the manly address of Governor* Gordon. It is plain, straight-forward and un equivocal. Certain men, for reasons best known ( to themselves, are trying to poison tho minds of tho farmers against tho man who has always been their friend. In pence and in war— everywheic, and at all times, John B. Gordon has stood by tho laboring classes against monopolies, fie will leave one of the ablest and cleanest records ever made by a governor Georgia. " No man can read bis ad dress and honestly say that Gordon has. not always been a friend* to the farmer—and that ho is now; Tho cruel stnb3 at Gordop’s character aro despicable. The men who are -shut- dering him, aia not doing it in the interestycof the peoplo, but to push their-own selfish ends. Thenamo and fame of Jbhn B. Gordon are dear to tho people of Georgia, and when the mad passions of the hour shall have subsided, propje will wonder that such charges should have been brought against a man who has always been true to his state and people. Wo again urge a careful reading of Generrl Gordon’s address in another column. Georgia’s Great Need.

Country neighborhoods are depopu lated because of tho lack of them.

Tho department says never decided the question before though it once suggested that they were dutiable at 35 per cent, as “pre pared meats.” This appears unten able, however, as it is understood the frogs are not prepared in any mnn- ner."
