E Griffin, five and a h Jf miles north of Thomasville, died ol congestion of the. brain and bowels. He was rick just eight days. He wai taken at Jennings, Fla.,, with what he thought was a light billions' attack, but realizing that none but a mother can charm away pain he came borne the fnnrth 'day alter he was taken, never realizing he was danger ously tH a when suddenly, despite skill ful medical aid, his symptoms changed, he grew wone, and in a few hoars oar loving son and.brother wasdsad. Oh! what a terrible blow it was; how oar hearts were wrong with anguish, iu we saw his dear life ebbing away and knew that as dearly as we loved him; as willtng'as we would be to give oar own Eves fat his,. there was nothing we could do. Oh! how utter, ly helpless we ML God alooe in Ms infinite . wisdom knows why he was taken. It seems so strange to os that a life which had been snch a comfost and blissing to all with whom It came in contact, and one which promised to much usefulluess and success should be so shortly ended. Truly, "death loves a shining mark.” Joe was 34 years, 7 months and 11 days old. He joined Fredonia Baptist church when he was 33. where his membership remained only a short time. He was quiet in his disposition and perhaps a little reserved in his manner toward strangers, bat his gentle, tweet, expression and thought ful consideration for others always •nn for him friends It may be truly said that those who knew him best had the highest estimate of his Chris tian character. In the home circle he was all that a dutilnl son and a loving, unstlfish brother could be, ever ready to assume any responsibil ity that devolved upon him. There are left three brothers, four sisters and a loving and devoted mother and others who were very near and dear to him who will miss his sweet voice and gertle presence from our to'dit, but while our hearts are bruised and bleeding, we bow io bumble submiss ion to the will of the Master, believing that “lrs docih all things well.” . -‘We shall miss a thousand times, Aloaglife’s weary traek; Not a sorrow or a joy but we shall 'Long to call thee hack, Yearn for thy true ami leader heart.

If they will make themselves in dependent by raising their oym sup plies, and this they can -do, hard time* will not be knocking at their'doors. Montgomery Folsom is rusticating at Indian Springs. Writing to the Atlanta Journal from that place, he says: ‘ The venerable Judge A. H.

Tho Savannah Press says; M. B. Lane, the vice-president oi the Citizens Bank in Savannah, has attracted the notice of the state and rendered valuable service by compil ing statistics from the statements of the banka of Georgia, With refer ence to the handling of the coming cotton crop, he shows that there is enough money in the banka to pay for the probable receipts and have two or three million* free for other business. . V v. In anticipation of the dpmand for moving the cotton crop from this section the banks of Thomasyflie have made ample arrangementa-and pre parations to famish ait the “needful’ necessary to handle the staple in this part of tbo country. There will be no lack oi ample banking facilities here for handling the cotton crop. The banks will be mere than equal to the occasion. The concert at the South Georgia College Chapel, on Monday night, proved, as every one predicted, a moat gratifying success from beginning to end. It .would be n difficult matter to find better amateur talent any where. And they had a most ap preciative audience. Many oi the performers were recipients of round after round of applause. And they richly deserved- thia recognition, for the entertainment, as a whole, was Itr above the average of amateur performances. Where all did so well won'd be invidious to draw com parisons, so we content ourselves with giving the programme of the evening as it was carried out. Instrumental Duet—Misses Lady Stegall and Evelyn Millard. Vocal Duet—Misses Bessie Baker and Norma Rike. Instrumental Solo—Mies Daisy Scott. Vocal Solo—Miss Annie Carroll.

Wells, of Atlanta, makes the following appeal for horses In the columns of the Coostitntion: “Will yon kindly allow me to make an appeal through your columns in behalf ol some of the bsdly abased horses of Atlantal While the Salva tion Army is haranguing the people to qnit serving the devil, and the tem perance crusaders are abusing the saloon keepers, while the churches, and Christian societies are exhorting to lsve.God and believe in Christ, is there not a tendency to overlook and disregard some of the smaller'duties and virtues of everyday lift! Take for instance, the very prev alent use of the check trio that neatly every bone bis to endure, and tell roe if that comports with Christian love tB-oemmoo techogs of human mercy. •These overhead or Kimball checks we only intended tor vktous and unmanageable boner, and yet yon see them 00 nnariy etrery. team, from the poor, old, broken down express hone op to the spanking team ot our creme dels creme. 'Have these people ever stopped to think-that they are adding an ad- diliooal hardship to the already hard life of the poor horse? Have they ever thought how they would complain if they were subjected to a corres-: ponding discomfort while in the per formance of their duly tabors! Who can doubt bat that the bone, if he had the power of speech, would plead with his driver to let him ' have the freedom of bis head! - Who can doubt, if he wiU bat observe the great distress that files cause the poor horse that he is depriving that horse of much relict and comfort by strapping up his head and rendering him helpless and defenseless from these tormenting Dies. “Has any man a right—even though he does own the horse—to infhet un necessary discomfort upon him! Should we not be satisfied with the service we get without giving unneces sary hardship! And what is the reason for the check-rein! Is it not pride; pride to make him look gay and high headed, or fashion, because others do How unkind it is to cause an innocent and faithful slave to suffer and drag out these long summer days in pain, to gratify that frivolous passion for style. Let me tell you people who drive with these check reins on, that yon are cruel to your horses. Vou who prate so much about your souls, and future life that Jrou expect to inherit, how can yon reconcile it frith your high claims to being- nude in the image of God, and yet go On gratily- ing a barbarous slavery to fashion! Can God love a tenon that is cruel one of bis defenseless creatures! “Revise your religion and com mence with the “little acts of Madness" that win mitigate the hard slavery ot your horse. Take off the check reins." The Peabody Institute. There was a fairly good attendance yesterday at the regular daily session of the Peabody Institute at the court house, though the attendance should have been larger, and we hope it will be during the remainder oi the season. It is a wonderful training school for teachers and none who can possibly attend should fail to do so. State School Commissioner Brad- well called the Institute to order at 9:15 o’clock. Mrs,'Head gave apractical test in ascertaining the meaning of the “Deacritical” marks, in spelling. This lady always makes her explana tions clear and lucid. Prof. Moody, acknowledged au thority on grammar, gave a very in teresting talk on pronouns. Prof. Lane, who is always interest ing and entertaining, lectured on the “Great Circles of the Earth.” , Commissioner Brad well, who is al ways listened to with marked atten tion, lectured on the “Science and Praetioe ot Teaching,” and concluded with a spelling bee on the geography Mrf Georgia. Professor Frederick, who is at home among figures, lectured on “Frac tions,’ and amplified many difficulties encountered by teachers. Tho lecture, of Professor Lynea on tho administration of Thomas Jeffer son, was one of the features of the day, Prot Lynes had his subject well in band and he made it a very interesting phrt of the programme. List, the “Qnixs Box,” furnished a variety of topics, which were very generally discussed. THE COLORED INSTITUTE. The colored department of the Ins titute assembled at the regular hour, and after devotions the question of order in school was discussed and very much information was given in con nection with it. Mrs. L C. Laney then lectured on reading very interestingly and iotelir gently. Prof. Cbas. Rice lectured on the subject of English grammar, rite kind of noons and their properties. Much interest was manifested in the subject. Prof. J. N. Clay then gave an exercise in spelling the names of the counties of Georgia. Prof. Chas. Rice then lead in cafosthenics. Prof, F.

Preece, chief engineer and electrician to the post office, has pot np a wire a mile long on the coast near Lavernock and a shorter one on Flatholm, a little island three miles off in the Bristol channel. He fitted the latter wire with a “sounder” to receive messages, and *eul a"mes ■age through the former from a pow erful telephonic generator. That message on mainland was distinctly heard on the island, though nothing connected the two, or in other words, the possibility of a telephone between places unconnected by wire was con clusively established. There is a possibility here of inter planetary communication, a good deal more worthy of attention than any scheme for making gigantic electric flashes. We do not know if we can com municate by telephone through the ether to New York or Melbourne with or without cables, but we do know that if we cannot, the fault is in our generators and sounders, and not in any prohibitory natural law.—Lon don Times. A Small Blaze. Abont nine o’clock Thursday morn ing fire was discovered issuing through the roof of the old wooden building on the corner of Stephens and Jeffer son streets, owned by Mr. J. W.

It was only a few minutes work, however, with the three streams to extinguish the flames. The dam age to the house is considerable, but we learn is covered by insurance. The occupants of the house succeeded in laying nearly all their effects. The fire is thought to have been caused by •defective stove fine.

The colored Peabodjr Institute dis cussed the question as to the best means of keeping tho colored girls and boys out Of the chain gang at their meeting on Saturday. It is a question whioh may very properly claim the attention of those who arc moulding the minds and directing the studies of the colored youth. Be- formatory schools, were regarded as one of the best safesguards against the evil. It was moved by Prof. Wright and seconded by Prot. Chas. Rico that Mits L. C. Laney present to the State The Peabody Institute. The attendance at the Peabody In stitute was very good yesterday, and thoee present took a deep interest in the exercises. We hope and believe that the attendance will increase dur ing the remainder of the time the In stitute is in session- The Peabody Institute was called to order at the usual hour with Prof. Moody in tho chair, Mrs. Head act ing secretary, Mrs. Head lectured on elementary science in primary work. Professor Moody lectured on adverbs and by practical examples made it very interesting and instructive. Prof. Lane lectured on the natural divisions of land. Prot Frederick lectured on square measure and made the dry subject an attractive one. Prof. Lynes lectured on Monroe’s administration and gave a useful acrostic as a topical outline. Tho ‘ Quiz Box” contained funny questions and also serious ones. Col. Lynes then introduced the -following resolution: Whereas, Hon. 8. D. Bradwcll, Stits School Commissioner, has called for an opinion, from the teachers ol the State, upon the merits ofthe State Uniformity Text Book Bill now pending before the legislature, Resolved, That we, the teachers of the Thomaaville Peabody Institute, are opposed to the passage of said bill, the same; in our opinion, bring undemocratic in principle, and hurt ful to the beet educational interests of Georgia. On motion the reeoution was de ferred until to-morrow when the same will be discussed —Duly Ti-E. Ang. improving onr people and tbo schools of the country. A general sentiment in fever ot teachers remaining in one place longer was expressed. It was the consensus of opinion, in a discussion on intemperance, that teachers should do everything in tbrir power to promote temperance amopg our paper. The discussion on these subjects took a tyide range, showing that the faculty were abreast of the times in everything pertaining to the welfare and promotion of the hot interest of the colored race. The language used was good and the subjects handled in q manner which showed that the speakers were not only in earnest, but that that they understood what they were talking about. Good will undoubtedly result from these meet ings and discusriuna. The Peabody Institute. The Peabody Normal Institute opened at 9:20, Prof. Frederick pre siding. Mrs. Head acting secretary. Mrs. Head, who is always interest ing, gave by blackboard drawings, a practical method of teaching primary grades, important facts about the Esquimos and the land of the Esqui- moe.

Prof Lane lectured on great circles and meridians of our planet Prof Frederick lectured on com pound numbers. Prof. Lynes lectured on Madisnu’s administration and the war of!812. The Quiz Bui, as usual, contained queetions of infinite variety, and af forded amusement as well sb instruc tion. The Baptists are watching the wall of their new church on Broad slreetgo up. Very soon only a memory of the old church on Smith avenue will re main. Within its wails, now go ing-to decay, perhaps a majority of the membership were received into the folds' of the church. But the tide of progress has left the the antiquated old church far in rear, and very soon the congrega tion will be worshipping in the now and modern edifice.

Tho rate from Montgomery to Chicago at present is 826.20, but if one fare rate allowed it will be only $20 50. Well, this would help the rate from Thomasviile and this section to some extent.
