Young, is Colquitt county, and will Resolutions of Condolence by the Baptist Sunday School At times, when all seems bright and beautiful, and we are fondly ho ping for tho attainment of some cher ished object, a somber shadow passes across our pathway, leaving its im press upon our hearts. The cup of bliss, to which we had raised and nl most touched our lips, is suddenly dashed to the ground, and our bright dreams nnd fond hopes nre shattered. Life is made up of bitter and sweet, of light and shade: and a deeply darkened shadow settled over tho hap py home of our beloved Superintend ent and his wife, when the reaper, death, entered its portal, and with sickle keen, cut down in all her beau ty and lovely innocence, their sweet little daughter, Sopbronia. There- foi e, be it Resolved, That we tender to them our heartfelt sympathy, commending them in lovo to an All-wise Fathor, who does nut willingly afflict the children of men, and to a loving Sa viour who wept at the grave of Laza rus, and who carried to His heavenly home, the same pitying, sympathizing heart. Be it also Resolved, That while we-and her littlo classmate') will mis3 her bright smile and sweet voice from our Sun day school, yet we bow in humble sub mission to the will of our Heavenly Father; praying that this afflicting dispensation may be sanctified to the good of souls, and to His eternal glory. “A bad of promise strangely five..!, Just opening to the light, Is gathered for a rich bouquet Of fadeless beauty bright. ■‘God knows why He plucks the buds Before the flowers bloom, Perhaps they’ll open better .

Ihe Clipper is a drama with plenty of humor all through the various scenes. The average audience likes to laugh and at tho same time be interested in the plot of the play, and the Clipper is a pleasing combination of the two. Secure your sents as soon as the box sheet opens, for it is safe to say that it will draw one of the largest audien ces of the season. The Hueears will make every effort to make the bene fit a success. A correspondent of Colquitt county, who, while rejoicing in the good tho the G. S. & F.

The two boys in dance nnd song, and in their comicalities, was one of the best fea tures) of the evening. The smaller ot the two appears to be a natural born comedian. They were called back again and again. That little fellow, if he lives, will rival Sol Smith Rus sell. Gordon Getting There. A special to the News from Atlanta dated yesterday, says; It is almost certain that Gen. Gor don will be tho next United States senator. The fight began last evening and was virtually whipped to-night, and credit is due to a knot of gallant alliancemcn, led by Read of Putnam and Harper of Carroll, ably soconded by Senator Todd of this district, who stood up for principle in the face of overwhelming odds in the caucus, and at last triumphed. Not only have they pretty surely whipped the sena torial fight, but one of much more moment to the peoplo of Georgia and to tho democracy itself. Tho alliance caucus will not, with closed doors and in secret, virtually decide who shall hold tho public offices of the state and what her laws shall bo.

The remains of the g. o. p i. c. what can bo found of them, should be bur ied out of sight. ■ CARPETS, WITH US, ARE .SO CHEAP THAT THE POOR-m ESTNEED NOT WANT FOR A ROOM COV ERING. COLD WEATHER NECESSITIES The time is certainly here when you are thinking of yoar new carpet, and you could select no better time to purchase iU We arc turning out more, car- pets than any two houses in' town. Why? because we have the assortment to select from, and the prices are right. We advise you to purchase your carpets now, for as sure as two and two make four—you will pay more two months hence.
