Less than a month ago Prof. Wad.
dell, of the State University, left bis
home for a tnp of pleasure and recre.
atmn in the North. Although gteatly
fatigued from his labors during the
past sees,o„ 0 f the college exercises,
when he left Athens there was nothing
to cause his family or friends to be
apprehensive of early death. But,
the grim destroyer, ever' stalking
abroad in the land, striking down with
relentless hand victims with which to
crowd the thoroughfare to the for be
ypnd, pfowd, his icy grasp on Prof.
Waddell while en rente home, and
t’AFT. R. H. lampkin. claimed him aa his own at a time and
plac«|vvhere family nor friends could
not smooth the dying pillor nor catch
the last whisper of life from the lira
of him whose love and affection was
ever a source of joy to those composing
the circle in which he moved.
The sad news of his death which
occurred at Millford, Va., reached the
eity at Thursday noon last and cast a
gloom of sorrow over onr entire p.»p
niece. His remains reached here by
an extra train over the North-east
Road at 1 p. m., Saturday, where a
large concourse of sorrowing friends
were in waiting at the Depot from
whence the remains were taken to the
cemetery and buned.
At 11 o'clock on 8unday morning
tho usual services being omitted at all
the churches, all took their way sadly
to the Chapel, there to do honor to the
beloved and lamented dead. The
Chapel was appropriately and beauti
fully draped in mourning, as if the
veiy walls were conscious that a long-
familiar voice was hushed in the last
ing silence of death. The body of the
house was filled to its utmost capacity
and many were obliged to seek seats
in the gallery. After the singing of
that beautiful hymn, “Nearer my God
to Thee,” Dr. H. H Tucker offered
prayer. Dr. Lane then read a part
of that grand chapter on the resurrec
tion, 1st! Corinthians,] XV. chapter.
Dr. Tucker then offered a most touch
ing and pathetic prayer. He was
succeeded by Dr. Lane, who taking as
the foundation of his remarks, the
words “Ho being dead yet speaketh,”
dwelt upon the high and noble exam
ple of earnest devotion ts duty in his
private and official relations to the
church which the life of Prof. Wad
dell afforded. Dr. Lane was followed
by Dr. Lipscomb, whose long and
intimate relations, both social and
official, with Prof. Waddell peculiarly
qualified him to speak of his many
virtues and excellencies. Dr. Lips*
comb in his usual tuuchiug and elo
quent manner portrayed the character
of the man, the professor and the
Christian, dwelling upon tho heroism
and devotion with which, through trial
and suffering, the beloved professor
had ever discharged his dulifs.
A Christian gentleman—a kind bus-
band, father, friend and tutor, has
passed from earth. His learned coun
cils, his deeds of love and kindness
are and will remain fresh in the hearts
of the people, and, although the mem
ory of bis form and features and the
sound of his voice may fade into the
twilight of the past and die opon the
ear, his virtues and examples will fly
into the future to cheer and enlighten
those who come after him.

Bairds’ Baptist Church,
August 23, 1868
Whereas, Elder P. H. Mell, D.
D, has by election to and acceptance
of the Cbancelorebip of the State
University, been forced to resign the
pastorate of all his churches, and has
this day, with a heart overflowing
with emotions of love and affection
toward this people, tendered bis res
ignation ot this Church, embracing a
period of thirty-three years:
Therefore, Resolved, 1st., That
submitting humbly to what we be
lieve to be God’s dircoting Provi
dence, we accept his resignation, and
with bowed beads and sorrowing
hearts, we feel that we part with a
pastor, brother, Christian neighbor
and friend, who has been faithful and
true.
2d, That we hereby declare our
deep gratitudo to God, that He has
permitted his servant to labor with
and for us, honoring his ministry to
Bach an extent that over a thousand
persons have been baptised by him
during this period, ana that his min
istry with ns has Dcen so owned and
bleeped, as to deepen tbe piety, and
enlarge and widen the field of Scrip
tural knowledge.
8d, That he carries with him into
his new field of labor the best wishes
of this Church and community, and
we would ever pray that his valuable
life may be spared, and that he may
ba permitted long to occupy that
sphere of labor which his gentle and
luudly Christian character, his at
tainments as a scholar, and his emi
nent administrative talenta, are so ad
mirably fi.ted to adorn.
4th, That in September, 1845,
when he took charge of this chur.h
as its pastor, be found us in a disturb
ed and divided condition, schisms
and divisions having crept among ns
—but it was for him to restore order
out of confusion, and harmony out of
discord, and until ibis day we have
been united, prosperous and happy. *
6tli, Turn knowing and apprecia
ting the great good which he has ac
complished here, we sever the lies
aud relations which now exist as pas
tor, will) deep and sincere regret.

lutions bo spread upon the minutes o

denco of superior talent At the close
of the exercises the Silver Card Case
offered to the person selling the high
est number of tickets was presented
to Miss Emmie Vonderlieth, who sold
193 tickets. Mias Vonderlieth then
offered the Case for sale for the bene
fit of the sufferers. Ii was purchased
by Mr. A. B. Scott for *10 who pre
sented it to Miss Blanche Clinard who
had sold 193 tickets, only three less
than Miss Vonderlieth. Miss Clinard
then placed it at]Mr. Mandeville’s to
be raffled together with another
prize given by Mr. Mcndeville, and
we learn that sixty chances were taken
at fifty cents per chance for both
prizes. The card case was won by
Lieut. Hull who gave it to Miss Vons
derlieth, the original owner. The
other was won by Mr. Charles Scud-
der for Miss Blanche Clinard.
Including what bod been previously
collected for the yellow fever sufferers
the entertainment and auction sales of
different articles, Athens has contribu
ted about $800 in money, besides a
great deal of clothing which has been
made up by the ladies’ working com
mittees m the different wards
All praise is due to Misses Vonder-
lirth and Clinard for the deep interest
taken by them in aid of the sufferers;
also to the members ot Burns’ Silver
Cornet Ba’d, Capt. W. H Jones in
particular, whose time, talent and
money is always freely given to the
demands of charity. Capt. Jones
immediately forwarded proceeds to
President of the Howard Association
at Memphis with instructions to send
*100 to the sufferers at Vicksburg and
tbe remainder to be distributed aa the
judgement of the Association may
dictate.
Capt .B. EL Lampkin,
Proprietor of the Exchange Hotel
and Bar, has an advertisement in our
“ preferred 1 ” local column to which
we call attention. He is prepared to
feed a regiment on the best the land
affords, at any hour, day or night,
and cheaper than anybody. He is
prepared to furnish a battalion with'' ^
beds, cotton or feather, with pure
water to wash in, a hair brush and
peart comb with which to dress your
hair, a gilt mirror in which to see
your pretty self, and a carpet to
stand on while all this is going on.
Lieutenant General O. H. Harbin
does the agreeable at the bar, and
has tbe reputation of being as good
an officer and as clever a fellow as
ever held a commission in the busi
ness.
Bob Lampkin says that if he can
only see Billups elected to Congress
and Jep Rncker re-elected Mayor he
can die happy.
F. L. XVlnktor,

we call attention. Mr. Winkler is an

of the war. He is now with a whole

"Wltat are tliey Goins to do
•'ij It - ? A.v'
Mr. Editor:—Have the business
men and property holders of Athens
made up their minds to sit down qui
etly, and let the trade which we have
been building up for three or four
years past, bo taken away from us,
fo^ the want of a little exertion on
our pan? Compare the trade of
Athens with what it was before the
North-eastern Railroad was comply,
ted to Lula—imagine what,will be the
condition of things if we lose what
we have gained, and then let each
citizen of Athens ask himself what
he will do to make things better and
not worse.
Four years ago the trade of Athens
was pitiful compared with what it is
now. Atlanta aud Augusta not only
supplied the great majority of the
people of the surrounding country
with their groceries, dry goods, hard
ware, and every thiug else they
needed, bnt even onr own citizens
were sending off for what they com.
Burned. Now she sells the cotton of
twenty counties and supplies them
with their groceries, dry goods,
hardware, feoks, arid everything else
they use, and Augnsta and Atlanta
are bewailing their lost trade, but
with no hope of regaining it, if tee
are true to ourselves.
Now are the business men of
Athens disposed to let the golden
opportunity slip, not only of keeping
the trade they have built up, but of
vastly increasing it ? Are they con
tent to rest upon their lamcls in tho
hope that they can, without further
effort, hold on to what they have got.
and that more enterprising lo
calities will not make at least an effort
to get it away from them ? If they son -
have any such idea, we tell them can
didly that they "are “ reckoning
without their host.” Already the
Elberton people have nearly comple
ted their road to the Air Lino. How
many bales of cotton and how much
trade will the completion of this road
take away from Athens?? The loss
of this trade at present ts inevitable,
as the Elberton Air Line Road is al
most in accomplished fact, and before
another twelve months will be in
active operation. It is not the (iart
ot wisdom, then, to look around for
some reason, to supply the deficiency
which will be created by the loss of
tho trade of Elbert and Hart conn
ties ? How can this be done ? We
answer, by extending the North
eastern Railroad to or beyond Clai kes-
ville.
Every one acquainted with the
facts know that at present the wag
on trade of nearly all the section of
country beyond the Air Line Road
goes to Gaiuesvillo or Mt. Airy,
where the produce is shipped on the
Air Line Road. Com, wheat, chick
cus, eggs, apples and eveivthing else
produced in that section, are shipped
direct to Atlanta, and why ? Because
Atlanta is a better market ? By no
means ; but because they are shipped
for one freight; whereas, If they ate
shipped to Athens they pay freight
over two roads, and the express
charges are double. Thousands of
dollars worth of produce is going to
Atlanta every day on this account,
most of which would come to Ath
ens if the North-eastern Road was
finished to Clarkesville or beyond.
This can be verified by any one who
will take the trouble to look into the
matter. All, or nearly all, ot this
trade could be secured to Athens if
the Notth-eastem road were extended
to Clarksville ; because, then, ship,
pers could save hauling eight or ten
miles to reach the railroad, and the
North-eastern being the most conve
nient road, the produce would be

JUG TAVERN ITEMS'.
Sept. 19th, 1878.
Tho farmers are bn-ily engaged
picking cotton, and the weather is
very fine for the business.
Mr. George Mahaffey, who lives
near Hog Mountain, lost a little boy
cine years old, the other day, under
the fallowing 6ad circumstances.- He
was in his lather’s cotton house, and
is supposed to have been trying to
stand on his head. Being unable to
do so, he dug a hole in the cotton
about three feet deep, entered head
foremost, and in this position died,
it is thought by being smothered-
When found he was p* rfectly cold.
Wo sympathize with the bereaved
family.
Col. Speer will address the people
of Ben Smith’s District at Dillard’s
Cross Ronds Oct. 2nd, and at J. R.
Ttgle’s Store on the 3rd. Wo hope
Col. Rucker will be on hand to give
him a duckirg.
Col. Billups made a splendid speech
at faiwrencerille this week. Many
were converted and many more are
repenting of their Independeniisra.
I was informed by some respecta
ble gentlemen last week that Col.
speer had another attack of hay fe
ver while taking a little recreation at
Green R. Dukes. We are afraid if
the Col. don’t quit exposing himself
bis frequent indisposition will under-
mln^his constitution and he will not
be able to sit in tbe Capitol when
elected.
I had a conversation with one of
Mr. Speer’s friends a few days ago,
and he told me that, after due con
sideration of the matter, and in view
ot the probable results that would
follt.yr Mr. Spi-er’s election, he could
no longer support him. He said if
<• knew himself he was a Democrat
shipped direct to Athens, for the and if lie voted for Speer he did not
same reason that it is now .-cut to
Atlanta, viz: Because it would nave
to pass over but one road.
There is another particular in
which Athens wonld be greatly ben-
efitted by the extension of the North
eastern road: The travel to the up-
countrv of Georgia this year has
been unprecedented, and it will con
tinue from year to year and increase
in volume. Of the thousands who
have gone into North-eastern Geor
gia this year, bow many have passed
through Athens ? Not ono in a hun
dred. And yet, if you will look at
the map you will see that the most
natural and direot route is through
Athens. But to reach Clarluvi le
and the Falls now, tourists have to
change cars at Athens, then again at
Lola; while by going via Atlanta,
there is bnt one change o cars. Exs
tend our road to Clarksville and
eventually to Tallulah Falls, ami the
tide of travel through Athens would
be immense. The result would he
tbe building of a large hotel to ac
commodate the travelling public—
thousands would remain here for n
day, or a week, or longer, either go
ing or coming, and every resident of
the town wonld be bencfiited.
In view of ol! these facts and con
gideratious, would it not be wise on
the pa’t of our people to make a
strong, vigorous and determined ef
fort to extend the North-eastern
Road Jbeyond the Air Lino at *tho
earliest practicable moment ?
Senex.
know whether be would vote for a
Democrat or not. Another gentle
man was present, both of influence,
and he took the same portion aa that
taken by tbe first one.
It is a great pleasure for me to say,
Mr. Editor, that the organized ranks
are daily gaining strength. Now
aud then we have a blast from a
Speer horn, but like the bubbles of
the aca they soon cease to be seen or
heard. A Billups Man.

Got it Down Wrong.
The Toccoa Herald of thn 14lh
inst says, in an article headed “Rev.
Iliram P. Bell: ” 1 This is the, gen
tleman who, it will be remetnoered,
made solemn promises to Hr. H. H.
Carlton and his friends nt the Con
vention that nominated him, ‘hat if
they wonld only nominate him that
time, he wonld use his influence in
securing the nomination for Dr. Carl
ton the next time. Dr. Carlton and
his friends accepted tbe proportion
and Bell was nominated and elected.’’
Col. Bell, did, after bis nomination,
state to a number of gentlemen of in
fluence throughout the District, that
all he desired was an endorsement by
an election to the 45th Congress, and
then most solemnly, voluntarily, and
without solicitation, plodged himself
’hat, if so endorsed by an election, he
would not bo a candidate again. But
no such proposition ns the Herald
states was made by Mr. Boll to, o*-
accepted by, DrI Carlton and his
friends.
If the Herald will only possess itself
with patieuee.lt will learn, at the
proper time, the truth and all about
this matter. Be calm, be patient,
less you should fall into error.

eloquent tribute to the patriotism, dis
interested sympathy and self-denial of
our Athens ladies in responding so
nobly to the call of suffering humanity,
stirred the heart and fired the eye ot
many of the sterner sex present,' and
was but the just praise they so richly

pects to remain. He will again re
sume his former business and we
bespeak for him a most liberal trade
in bis line of business as he is one of
