It would seem so easy to have utter peace and joy among God’s chosen people—those who have pub lioly professed the faith that binds human hearts to Christ. And yet it transpires of late that some of the most sensational of all quarrels among corporations and societies and general bodies of men are those which are now and then tearing asun der the holy ties of Church. What a pity ! What a pity that the newspapers should now be lull of absurd disputes among the good Churchmen who gathered in Macon the other day to elect a Bishop. How it is to he de plored by all good men in the Church or out of it that those men should have lost their tempers, as two them are quoted as having done. The idea of throwing sharp, slinging per sonal remarks at one another just because each bad different estima tions of the merit of Bishop-elect Nelson, doesn’t accord with the views which an outsider forms of the peace and harmony, of those who preach G' d’s message of “peace on earth, good will to all mankind.” These men should nofc be criticized; they are human. But surely they should claim the earnest prayers of Christian people. Church dispute* are growing too frequent these days. Let. the Church teach a better lesson, to bear and forbear. out of the South. It is but natural then to charge this aggression into Georgia politics on the part of the aND^ADDER COMPANY railroads to the West Point Terminal A PRINCELY GIFT j WHAT THEY WILL EAT* JESS OF THE PIONEER : THE PEOPLE OF ATHENS ARE PRE PARING FOR THANKSGIVING. THE OLD TIME RABBIT HUNT. Whew ! the wind blows cold, the ground is frizzled with crisp icicles, the crops are nearly all housed away in gin-house and barn, Thanksgiv ing day is nigh at hand—call the dogs and load up the guns and we’ll all go rabbit bunting. What inspiration ; what excite ment; what careless joy; what frolic and fun comes with a rousing old- time rabbit hunt, such as our fathers had when they were boys, and which cannot be improved upon though the star of civilization and social cul ture may climb up its blue ladder to the zenith mark Talk about your fox chases if you will; relate with euthueiasm your exploits on hoise- back, jumping fences aiid ditches, climbing hills and all that Tell about tbe pleasure of your deer hunts ; oharm the guests at some high-life dining table over your tur key, plum-pudding and wine with the excite':»c.it and fear that comes with the first, thiill of “buck ague;” count over your “ crack shots” on the field where B.»b White roams—tell it. all in triumphant and exciting speech and call it fun, indeed. But the writer of this paragraph wouid give thorn all for just one good old rabbit hunt down among a Georgia cane* brake where the wiry little animal runs wild and free. And we. would ask no improve ment on the old style of banting rabbits We would take the same pack of bouncing, lively bounds ; tbe same old double barrel shot guns long enough nearly to punch the rab bit out of the briars ; the same gang | of little plantation niggers to “holler l and whoop up the dogs." We would ^^^>refer not to burden ourselves with ^B.he fancy leather pouches of tbe ^modern day, but would hang over our shoulder the same old polished powder horn, and put the shot in a bottle, hanging the big horn with which to call the dogs home across the other ehonlder. Ah ! that was fun ! It was sport heats all other sport. Get those a “ slight trail •” let the lit- way to the moment ’lifting excitem-nt and run with the dogs all in a row LIVINGSTON AND WATSON If the dispatches that come from Indianapolis are true it doth appear that Colonel Livingston of the Geors gia State Alliance, and Mr. Watson Congressman-elect from the Tenth Congressional district of Georgia are having a lively time of it. Both are Alliancemen of the deepest taith. Both have taken leading hands in the affairs not only of the State Al iiance here in Georgia, bat of the National Alliance as well. Both have won the faith and confidence of the Alliance people ; and both have been elected to congress by no other power than the Alliance vote. Now, the Alliancemen of Georgia will take it as a matter of extreme pity that their leaders should not only pursue different courses herein their own State, but worst should go as far away from home as Indianapolis to an Alliance convention and make public to tbe world at large their split by quarrelling most violently with each other. According to our dispatches the trouble seems to be over the Third party, tbe ghost of which has been strolling through the State of Georgia in the company ot Mr. Watson all last summer, attend ing him in his speeches upoa the slump. It seems tLa t Colonel Liv ingston is opposed to the Third par ty and Mr. Watson proclaims that Georgia is ready for it, and says *■ Let i r go, Gallagher. Mr. Watson then takes Coloce L’vingston to task about his stand on the railroad question, and well he may. He rebukes Colonel Living ston very severely for riding around iu Pat Calhoun’s private car begging popular favor for the West Point Terminal Company. Mr. Watson is certainly right on this line, and Col Livingston is wrong. Colonel Liv ingston is right, however,in opposing the Third party movement and Mr Watson is wrong in Savoring it. With these differences so violently urged, it is clear to every Alliance man that these men are doing no good for the canse in tneir quarrels They should be silenced and made to know that the State Alliance in con vention is able to take care of itself. Of course there will be no open ef forts on the part of this giant com pany of monopolists to put out a candidate on a railroad platform, so to speak. Its methods are dark and cunning. They never deal openly in such matters. Its candidates for of fice will not offer as candidates for the railroads, but as candidates for the dear people. Now here is something fox the far mers of Georgia to put in their corn cob pipes and smoke these long win® ter evenings. Would it not be well for the people ot Georgia to make the railroad question a chief issue in the next Slate election. It is not wise to deal unfairly with the rail roads. Extreme measures would do more harm than good, but everybody must agree that when a railroad com* pany enters politics it has leaped ont of its legitimate sphere, and tbe sooner checked tbe better for the people.

That will bo Placed Beside the Thanksgiving Turkey—Several Elegant Dinings WIU be Given, OUR ALF. IN TROUBLE. RAILROADS IN POLITICS. It is an uncommon thing to have railroad corporations go bodily into politics in this country. It is a mat ter of as much surprise here in the South as it is a matter ot regret, oi utter consternation and disgust among the people. It is a doleful encomium upon a republican form of government and a Democratic Soul h that such a thing should be found true here. And now that the testimony of some of the ahlest men in Georgia is given that some of the railroads have de termined to take a hand in politics would it not be wise for tbe people to look into the matter and endeavor to avert the blow that is apt soon or late to be aimed at the commercial and financial freedom of the masses ? The speech o' - Major J. F. Hanson at the Macon Fair ought to serve b open the eyes of the people o. Geor gia. In that speech he said con* cerning this disposition on tbe part of the railroads : ** I cannot prove it, but tbe testi mony of some of tbe ablest, men in the Slate is that these railroads are about to determine who shall be tbe next governor. I tell you tbe time is coming when they will not only nominate your governor, bat they will go ioto the different counties of the State and say who shall go to the legislature, which means that even* tually they will control governor, legislature, judges and railroad com. missioners 1 say to you now rise up and strangle this monster that is winding its deadly coils around you to crush you at will.” Now, tbe Richmond and Danville Railroad Company owns or has an® der its control very nearly every rail road in Georgia. The West Point Terminal Company has been allowed through the meek and humble kind ness of tbe Georgia legislature to bottle up the railroad system ol Georgia. The West Point Terminal Company, an alien corporation in touch with the money powers of Wall J Street and the whole North has no | interest in the South save selfishly for the money that can be squeezed Alf. Harper indicted by the Grand Ju ry of Fulton. Everybody in Athens knows Alf. Harper, the versatile fellow who at one time served as city editor of the Ban- m. He is in trouble. The Tribune-of Rome says: In its latest about the Hurtel-H&st- ings-Muiphcy street fight in Atlanta last Saturday, yesterday’s Constitution* says: It was stated yesterday that Mr Alf. Harper would also be presented be fore the grand jury, for aiding and abetting and taking part in the fight. It is claimed that Mr. Harper caught hold of (’apt. E. M. Roberts and pre vented him from separating Murpbey and his antagonists, and that he fur nished Mr. Hastings with a club, and k lew at the time he was going to attack Mr. Murpbey with it. ‘Mr. Harper laughed when asked about the matter aud said such talk was foolishness. He said he had absolutely nothing to do with the affray and knows nothing about the club except what be has beeu told ty Mr Hastiugs, and fu - ther that be does not believe auyhody will try to connect him with the affair in any such light.” BUT THEY’RE AFTKR HIM. Now Atf. will smile on tbe other side of bis mouth, for the Fultou county grand jury has indicted him, along with Huriel and Hastings, for assault with intent to murder. The .indict ment was found yesterday morning When the three young men were in formed of the action of the grand jury, they went at once to tbe sheriff’s office and gave abond each, for $500 for their appearance at the next term of court. Mr. H. H. Cabamss, business manager of tbe Atlanta Journal, went on the b .ads. Mr. Hurtel is city editor of the Journal and Messrs. Hastings and Harper are reporters on the paper. Alf Harper had nothing whatever to do with the fight. THE GRADING GOES ON. The Georgia, Carolina and Northern Is Pushing On. The G., C. & N. is orawling on to At lanta. Graders are haid at work between this city and Lawrenceville, and the tracklayers are pushing on behind them most rapidly despite the cold weather. The Lawrenceville Herald says: Last Wednesday the tracx force on the G. O A N„ arrived a-, the Alcova, about two and a half miles from town. This bridge is about eighty feet long, and is to b > of iron. If the weather re mains favorable the bridge will be com pleted this week, and then tbe track will be laid to town. It will take about two days to lay the rails to town We will, therefore, look for the train tbe last of thin week or the first of nex r . The depot will soon be completed, and by the time the road is open for business the depot wii, oe ready. There are four or five iron bridges to be put in between Lawrenoeville and Atlanta, and it is hardly probable that the road will be completed to that point before the first of February. MR. JOHN W. LOVERN A Worthy Citizen of Princeton Facto ry Passes Away. At about 7 o'clock on yesterday morning, Mr. John W. Lovero, mueh respected citizen of Princeton Factory, died after a lingering illn.ss of several weeks That flattering dis ease consumption, held out hopes that he would recover and he was hopeful of regaining health during the early part of bis illness, but for the last week or two, be diapsired of ever getting well. He was an efficient workman at the mill, an amiable and clever gentle man, and was highly esteemed by al who knew him. For several years hr bad been a member of the Methodist church and was no doubt ready when tbe summons came Oliver Encampment, I. O. O.

Through many difficulties the ladies of the Industrial Home have worked their way until the dawn begins to ap pear in the east and they r< alize that their labors have not been in vain. Not only have they fed the hungry clothed the naked, attended the sick and given work to the industrious poor, but they have secured and paid for lot upon which to build a Home, and now have money enough in right to start to work on their building This latter part came about iu happy manner yesterday, and everyone who loves the work of charity will bless the men who brought it to pass. The Pioneer Hook and Ladder Com pany was one of Athens’ pets and was a pride to the city. They served the city faithfully an I when the flrey el ement was i aging they were ever on baud to save life and properly. Bat the paid department came and the Pioneers-ceased to exist actively as a company although they maintained their organization intact. The company sold their ball on the corner of Washington and Jackson streets to to the city and quite a nice sum of money thus came into the treas ury. The company disposed of the money in a magnificent manner last evening They met and formally tendered two thousand dollars to the Indu-trial Home, which action on tbe part of tha company was unanimous. For this action tbe members of the old Pioneer will receive the plaudits of the community. They have ceased io b. active firemen, but can leave bellin' them in an institution erect* d for tin b< n fit of poor and suffering humanity. monument that will b> more lasting than brass and more en during than marble. The plans for the Industrial Home building were drawn some time since, and with the money thus donated, the ladies can go lo work on tbe building in a short while. One of the parlors of the new build ing that will be erected will be for the use of the Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company. Three cheers for the Pioneers and,three cheers for the Industrial Home.
