“Bob. Inukbsoll says he will deliver'

J.OMK, near Cartersville, is construct
ing a gigantic boom on paper. It will
scarcely last as long as a paper car wheel.
One thing is certain, the Inter-state
law cannot prevent newspaper men from
walking alter the first of April if they
can’t ride—free.
“Mark Twain talks of endowing a
homo for pumped-out humorists.” A
natural consequence of the immense
amount of alleged wit about Jeems
Brown Potter.
When Theodore Tilton was told of
Mr. Beecher’s death and asked whether
he had anything to say, lie shook his
head sadly and answered: “No; it will
do no good now.”
As yet the Baltimore and Ohio has
not been scooped, (live the Courant-
Amfckioan credit for finding this out
first. 'Hie rest of the boys are quarrel
ing over the claim of first finding the
scoop that wasn’t a scoop.
The Birmingham l>oom begins to
weaken and diminutive, wheu it is
stated that ft lot on Broadway, New
York, between Liberty and Cedar
streets, 25x100, sold the other day for
$06,200, or 514,348 per front foot.
Walter B. Hill, Esq., of the Macon
bur, has been contributing some very
able articles ti the Telegraph, on the
prohibition question. He is a clear
logio and writer, and his arguments favor
ing prohibition as against high license,
are practically unanswerable. Mr. Hill
is one of the ablest of the young lawyers
in the Stnto, and a man of the finest
character.
Kvidknlty John Buskin is not pleased
with latter day educational methods, and
if he is correct in his views about the
way matters are moviug, he has a light
to bo. He says: “I know of nothing
that has been taught tlie youth of our
time except that their f.itheis were
apes and their mothers winkles, that the
world began in accident and will end in
darkness, that honor is folly, ambition is
a virtue, charity a vice, poverty a crime,
and rascality the means of all wealth and
the sum of all wisdom.”
The Washington Star says: “A
newspaper editor lately appointed post
master of a provincial city”, who was
nominated on St. Valentine’s day, and
whose nomination was confirmed on
Washington’s birthday, is anxious to
hasten the approval of his bond so that
his commission can issue on the third
of the series of notable inter-season
anniversaries, St. Patrick’s Day. This
will give him precisely two weeks in
which, to reflect on his course in exchang
ing a creditable calling in private life for
the harassing duties of public office, and
to celebrate April Fool’s Day in accor
dance with the conclusion he arrives at.”
Jones, tho love-sick Senator from
Florida, is not so crazy as his conduct for
the last two yours would lead people to
think. In matters pertaining to politics
he is very sane, as a spceoh delivered in
Detroit, last week, will attest, in which
lie said :
“When we speak of the New South it
cannot be meant that any national
change has taken place in the character
or qualities of the people, nor do I think
il desirable there should be any change,
for 1 am sure, for what I know of them,
if any did take place it would be for the
worse. They ere a geuerous, brave,
open-hearted people, utterly devoid of
the close, calculating, seltish power that
you will find in some parts of the couu
My strongly developed, and as free from
bigotry and intolerance as any people
under the sun. They were greatly mis
understood at the North before the late
civil war, and they are misunderstood
yet. I have lived among them since
fourteen years of age, and I have had au
experience that few natives ever had to
test thtir true character. * * * The
changes which have takeu place at the
South were such as might have beeu ex
pected to follow the re-ult of a great
war. Freedom is now national, uot sec
tional. The amendments to the consti
tiou have beeu sincerely accepted by the
people. The emaucipab and slaves are
conceded every political right enjoyed
by the white mau, and are doing as well
as any laboring class in the world. The
right of sucessiou with the institution of
f l ivery is abandoned forever, and since
the people have beeu left to regulate
their owu affairs, peace, contentment
and prosperity have followed. There is
no part of the South with which I am
acquainted where Northern men will not
be welcomed and conceded as much
freedom of opinion as they can have any
where. With the exceptions that I have
stated there is nothing new about the
South, nor is there any desire for a
change. The simplicity and sincerity of
social life at the South needs no improve
ment from older countries to increase the
happiness of the people, and in some of
the over-refined civilizations of the earth
there will be found an internal rotten
ness, which, if revealed to public view,
would shock every feeling of humanity.”
JjAst Suuday’s Macon Telegraph con
tains a well written and succinct history
of the great Yazoo land frauds that were
perpetrated upon the State of Georgia
L tlw legislature of 1795. This scheme
to* rot) the S’ate of about 40,000,000
acres of her lands, was so gigantic and
.outragous that it stands, perhaps, with
out a parallel in the history of the coun
try. Wo wisli that this article could be
tend by every citizen of the State. It
fthows that our primitive fathers dealt
with the conspirators and parties to
political corruption and thieving.
'1 heir vigilance and activity in puuish
■iug the guilty, would put to shame the
modern investigating and white-washing
-committees. The gods neyer looked up
>ou a grander scene than that presented
i)y the legislative body that repealed the
fraudulent act, when it assembled on an
open common, at the capital, where the
State officials were ordered to pile up
every document relating thereto, and
fire from heaven was drawn by' a sun
glass, igniting the mass, which was then
and there consumed and effectually de
stroyed.
By this same authority every county
officer in the State was compelled to ex
punge and erase from all books of record
every transaction relating to the laud
frauds, under penality of fine, imprison
ment and everlasting disqualification for
office; and in case of neglect, or refusal,
to be prosecuted in any court within the
jurisdiction of the State —one half of the
fine, 31,000, to go to the informer and
the other half to go to the .state treasury.
This decree was ordered to be promul
gated throughout the whole Union, by
authority of the Speaker of the House,
President of the Senate and Governor
of the State. Not only this, but the
name of every man interested in the
fraud, in any way, was brought into
everlasting reproach and shame. Would
that our latter day authorities had such
nerve and moral courage; then i>olitical
honesty would not be so scarce.
CAR TEIiSVILLE IMMIGRA TION
AND IMPROVEMENT AS
SOC I A TION.
In 1884, some of the leading citizei'B
of ('artersville and Bartow county wisely
organized the Cartersville Immigration
and Improvement Association; but un
wisely, as is usually the case with our
people in undertakings of like character,
it soon became au “ iuocuous desue
tudo.” Iu this matter, unlike some
other enterprises they have undertaken,
there was harmony, everybody agreed as
with one voice, that it could be made au
institution of incalculable advantage to
our section in advertising and develop
ing the many resources of our section,
and in inviting immigration and capital
iu this direction. But, there was the
usual lack of enterprise. All were will
ing to see its purposes carried out, and
to say amen when it was done; but few
were ready and williug to expend any
thing, or to exert any effort in the fur
therance of the movement, or in accom
plishing the work for which the associa
tion was established, lienee it laid,
doomed to sleep, for some other section
its soul to take.
Now, there is not a business man iu
Cartersville who is not ready to admit,
that had the association received the en
couragement due it, we would to-dav be
oue of the best advertised portions of the
South, and would have long since begun
to reap substantial fruits. We would
not see a more advanced development cf
our mineral resources, but we would
iu all probability 7 have iu our midst
many thrifty and industrious farme:s.
Why not the old officers of the associa
tion get together and reorganize. There
has never been a more auspicious period
iu the history of our towu wheu it could
do more effectual work than uow. I
suggests that the Cartersville Immigra
tion nud Improvement Association at
once effect a reorganization aud go to
work,
AN IMMIGRATION! BUREAU.
Iu a roceut letter of Mr. Henry Allo
way, correspondent of the New York
Times, who has just made a tour of some
of the principle towns of the South, he
thus speaks of the Southern outlook :
“What the whole South needs ie a broad
guago immigration bureau. This will
do more towards doubling the popula
tion than all the syndicate schemes. Tlio
basis of growth is here and nothing short
of a miracle can halt it.”
Mr. Alloway is eminently correct in
his observation. Nothing would so much
add to Georgia’s real growth than a well
organized aud managed immigration
bureau. Several of the Southern States
huve established such a bureau, aud
have reaped wonderful good from them.
North Carolina, we believe, was among
the fiist to inaugurate such a scheme,
and ns a result, she stands to-day, with
natural resources far inferior to Georgia,
oue of the most prosperous and progres
sive of all the Southern States. Her
immigration bureau has been the means
of bringing into her borders hundreds of
meu of thrift, enterprise and intelligence,
who have added much wealth aud iu
fused new life into her veins. What
other States have abcotnplished iu this
line, Georgia can and must do.
There is uo question that could more
seriously engage the attention of the
legislature at its approaching session iu
July. We trust that Bartow represeut
atives will use their influence iu bringing
the matter squarely before that body,
representing as they do, a county that is
uuequaled iu its wealth of agricultural
and mineral resources, and oue that
would profit above all other counties in
tne State from such au institution. We
would suggest that they frame the ne
cessary bill aud introduce it at the July
meeting < f the general assembly.
BARTOW'S BOOM.
For some time the prophetic vision of
the far seeing capitalists has beeu feast
ing on the enveloped possibilities grad
ually evolving from tLe propitious sur
roundings iu North Georgia. At last the
boom, that has characterized the mineral
regions of Alabama and Tennessee, has
| gravitated towards Bartow couuty. This
1 was to be naturally looked for, and is no
| surprise to those who have learned to
watch and interpret the signs of the
times. There is no section in the iron
and coal belt lands in the South surpas
: sing Bartow county. The undeveloped
mineral wealth adjacent to Caitersville
is simply marvelous, aud outreaches
anything of the kiud iu Alabama or
Tennessee. Specimens of silver, gold,
manganese aud iron ora are daily
brought to tho offices of our real estate
agents, aud they show up A 1 under the
microscopic test of the analyst. Prop
erty is gradually aud solidly advancing
iu prices aud uot a few leading fiuaucinl
ists are silently investing and arranging
through private agents to sieze hold at
the opportune moment, Iu the last two
or three days several gentlemen have
visited Cartersville with rocks in their
pockets, and are getting ready for the
commg storm. Why is it that Carters
ville business men do not see this oppor
tnnity is psasing strange. But then, it
will be like everywhere else when the
rush comes, and others from a distance
step in and make the quick fortune,
these timid and scarry fellows will be
left, and all that will be heard of them
will be the pitiful wail—“lt might have
been.”
Alas! alas, tot) lute. So wp welcome
the straugpr at our gates and he is wel

Jacksonville, A'abama is truly a quaint
old town with many massive mansions
and spacious lawns. It wasonce the home
of true arristocracy and refinement.
Many of these homes in the suburbs of
the town were surrounded by nice farms,
where the master was lord, and the negro
was happy in his old cabiu home, dancing
by the light of the moon in the exuber
ance of Ills delight, to the thrum of his
banjo. But those good old times before
the war are gone, and gone forever, and
but the skeleton is left The master in
many instances is long since dead, and
most of his progeny has wandered off in
search of greener fields and fresher pas
t ires but many of the old slaves are
living and lingering yet around the ruins
of the old plantation, sighing over joys
past and gone. It has been beautifully
writen:
You may b eik, you may shatter the vase
if you will
But the sceut of the lose will remain there
8-11.
The same thing may be said of old Jack
sonville. The vase of an elegant society,
almost baronical in its nature with its
courtly bearing, is broken and gone, but
there still lingers some of the progeny of
those fine old Southern gentlemen, who,
though their elepant surroundings have
vanished, are still gentlemen in every
sense of the word, for they have that un
mistakable bearing which indicates to
a casual observer the gentle, but proud
blood which sources through their veins.
It is a fact quite noticeable that the cit
izens of the town seem to be possessed
of that rare jewel “elegant leisure,” and in
this are in strange contrast to the boom
inflated towns that surround them, whose
push and hurry hid impressed us that
they demand time, too short for the ac
complishment of the important work they
have on hand. The merchant, workman,
tradesman, fanner and civilian go at their
business leisurely,unconscious of the possi
bilities of their immediate section. Allow
me to make a prophesy (though it may be
uninspired) it wi'l someday 7 come to pass.
The day is coming, not far in the future,
when North Georgia, North Alabama and
East Tennessee will be the Lowel, Man
chester and Pittsburg of the South. In
these sections will be concentrated the
majority of the factories of the South that
will fashion these mountains of iron and
deposits of manganese into machinery,
hardware, which will supply the United
States f.nd the looms of the North will be
brought in close proximity to the cotton
fields, and the wool, tlux and raiment pro
ductions of the South. Then every city,
town and hamlet will feel the quick throb
of commercial importance There will
be also an agricultural boom and the now
impoverishing system of farming will be a
thing of the past, and these fine sections
of country will be made to furnish food,
luxuries for the teeming millions. Then,
indeed, will our farmers forget their
hungry look,become fat and cheerful, and
their homes be paragons of thrift, elegance
and happiness. Yes, indeed, Jacksonville
and all these lethergic places will
become ratified.
During our stay at Jacksonville we
visited their cemetery 7 or their city of the
dead. On entering the gate we noticed,
posted conspicuously on an oak tree, the
following couplet, said to be the effusion
of Peter Forney, brother of the present
member of congress, Hon, John Forney:
Pull not a single flower,
Nor shrub destroy,
L-uve them that you
And others may enjoy.
Ui member man as you pass by,
An you aro now,so once was I.
As I am now, you scon will be.
Therefore prepare to follow me,
Right under it some wag had written in
pencil:
To follow thee I’m not content
Unless I know which wav you went.
In this cemetery are buried many of the
best citizens of North Alabama who first
settled tlie country and gave character
and tone to this once rich and opulent
section. The grave that most interested
us was that ofMajar John Pilman, Gen.
J. E. B. Stuart’s invaluable boy artillerist.
His resting place is unmarked as yet by
a monument, it is simply a little mound
covered with sea shells set in cement.
Ilis distinguished gallantry and bravery
and his invaluable services iu the cam
paign of Northern Virginia should en
title him to a more honored mausoleum.
We hope that the ladies of JacKsonville
wi 1 erect a monument to the memory of
this distinguished boy hero. More anon.

as follows;
“When does my sentence expire? It

REV. SAM. P. JONES.
HE RETURNS TO CANADA AND IS
GIVEN AN' OVATION.
HU Future Movements—High Editorial
Endorsement from Euglsml—A Fine
Sermon Delivered iu Mon
treal.
After an absence of several days Rev.
Sam. Jones returned from Canada Satur
day morning where he delivered several
lectures. This was a lecturing trip ex
clusively, he having been petitioned by
his thousands of friends and admirers in
Canada to go up and deliver lectures over
the dominion. Mr. Jones expressed him
self highly pleased with the warm recep
tion tendered him by his Canadian friends,
and enjoyed his trip immensely.
Mr. Jones will leave here Saturday for
Cincinnati where he will conduct a se
ries of meetings until the sth of next
month. On the 23d he is to be at Min
neapolis, to be at work there fifteen days.
He will be at Rome from the 15th to 25th
of May.
IIICiH EDITORIAL endorsement.
Mr. Jones’ lame is last spreading over
the whole universe. The Methodist
Times, published in London, a “journal
of religious and social movement,” a
criterion in England, has this to say ed
itorialiy of Mr. Jones:
It i3 probable that the most extraordin
ary and significant fact in the Christian
world just now is the evangelistic work
of “Sam Jones.” He has suddenly be
come the most conspicuous and successful
evangelist in America. He is distinguish
ed from all others by the unprecedented
number of men who rush to his services,
and by the unprecedented number of them
who yield to the power of the Gospel.
Neither Mr. Moody, nor the most success
ful agents of the Salvation Army, nor Mr.
Aitken, nor Canon Knox-Liti e, nor any
living missionery as witnessed every
where, and day after day, the extraordin
ary results which attend the ministry of
“Sam Jones.” Who is he? He is the
Rev. Samuel P. Jones, of Georgia, a min
ister of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, which, as far as we are aware, now
for the first time produces an evangelist
of world-wide fame. We feel peculiar
delight in his connection with the great
and venerable Church of the Southern
States. The controversy over slavery had
cut off that Church for a quarter of a
century from intercourse with the North
ern States and with us. Now that the
Slavery Question is settled there is a uni
versal desire on both sides the Atlantic to
restore the old fraternal and constant in
tcrcourse. Nothing is more likely to
bring the Southern Church into touch
with all of us than the blessed work of
“Sam Jones.”
* * * * *
Mr. Jones has been addressing enor
mous and unprecedented crows in Boston.
Ac asks, “What is religion?” and answers,
“Character.” He proceeds: “How is
character to be sought?” and replies,
“Along the line of conduct.” He asks,
“When, and where, and how shall I be
gin?” and once more replies, “Now,
where you are, by ceasing to do what is
bad and commencing to do what is good.”
He gives his own experience as the ne
cessary message which every man must
give. “When God picked Sam Jones out
of tlie gutter fifteen years ago, Sam Jones
began by burning his gambling cards and
breaking his whisky bottle,” That was
his “experience.” No ecstasies ot joy
followed. lie believes that if he
“had waited for feelings before his con
version he would be in the gutter still; or
if he had refused to believe that God had
pardoned him until an inward voice from
heaven told him so lie w 7 ould be in the
Slough of Despond still.” So, in liis
blunt, and at the first experience of it,
shocking way, he constantly exclaims,
“The Lord don’t want you to blubber,
but He wants you to quit, don't you see?”
By “quit” our friend means quitting your
sin, or, to use his favorite word expressive
of the contemptible baseness of sin,
“quitting your meanness,” Here is another
characteristic extract: “If a man confes
ses, he is pardoned, and tlie best w r ay for
him to know 7 he is pardoned is that God
said he would do it. The devil preaches
feeling the year round, and God preaches
faith. Do you see the difference?” Mr.
Jones believes intensely that in the past
an altogether disproportionate importance
has been attached to “speculation and
emotion.” He says the great need of the
time is to lay stress on ‘ the practical doc
trines.” He says that repentance is “first
and fundamental in religion, and repent
ance is just ceasing from sin. If repent*
ance doesn’t mean quit your meanness, it
doesn't mean anything.” He evidently
agrees with an eminent theological pro
fessor wlio used to insist, above all things,
in his classes, that repentance “does not
mean fee ing bad about sin, but turning
away from sin.”
Thank God for such a John the Baptist.
Not preach repentance! Why, no man
living is preaching it so effectually at this
moment. We greatly need a Sam Jones
or tw'o in this country. While theologians
are splitting hairs, and morbid sentimen
talists are talking about their feelings, the
liquor traffic is decimating the people, the
social evil is filling the land with anguish,
mammonism is grinding the faces of the
poor, lying is destroying trade, and war
is advocated by men who profess to re
present the Prince of Peace There is
more repentance in refusing to take shares
in a brewery, in joining a vigilance com
raittee, in declining exorbitant profits, in
denouncing a wicked foreign policy, than
in six weeks of groaning and weeping.
There is often ten times more religion in
breaking a pipe or in burning a pack of
cards than in howling in an agony on
your face. When men asked John the
Baptist what he meant by repentance, he
told them it consisted in turning their
backs upon the characteristic sins of the
class to which they 7 belong. That is the
only kind of repentance that prepares the
way for Christ. Repentance is to rive up
being lazy, and self-indulgent, and proud.
It is to put your trust neither in civil nor
eGclessastlcal despotism, but iu love and
purity. It is, in one word, to turn your
back upon the devil and the world, and to
resolve that you will live according to the
Sermon on the Mount. Sam Jone3 is
giving conventional Christianity in Amer
ica such a shaking as it has never had
within living memory. There is such a
pricking of windbags, and smashing of
shams, and breaking of ecclesiastical
crockery wherever he goes that the whole
land stands aghast. The fact is, Sam
Jones really believes that Christ meant
what He said, As soon as a powerful
minority of Enelishmen are of Sam Jones’
opinion, Ireland will be reconciled, pau
perism will cease, the military estimates
will give no occasion for discussion, and
gentlemen who have shares in breweries
will be anxious to sell them.
MR. JONES IN MONTREAL.
From the Montieal Witness.
Sam. Jones addressed the students of
the Methodist Cos lege in the Oonvocation
Ha)l of that building at eleven o’clock
to-day. There was a very lame atten
dance of young men, augmented by num
bers from McGill and other institutions.
Several ladies were also present. The
Rev. Dr. Douglas presided, aud on or near
the platform were the Hon. Senator Fer
rior, the Rev. J. Philp, Rev. Mr. Bond,
Rev. R. Campbell, Rev. Prof. Shaw, and
others.
The address of Mr. Jones bore not the
slightest trace of preparation. It was, in
fact, a conversation; but it was bright,
crisp, telling. It abounded in pungent
epigram, broad humor, swift touches of
deep earnestness. The audience roared
again with laughter; but before the mer
riment a deep truth, put with amazing
frankness, brought silent and profound
attention. Mr. Jones, taking a few verses
from Corinthians,—uot, as he explained,
as a text, but as a territory through
which they might walk together, refer
ring to the gifts of the ministry, but with
special reference to this passage—“But we
haye this treasure
IN EARTHERN VESSELS.”
Mr. Jones said :
In all ages of the church—and the
church l>egan with the first man —fifed
has called me. l by special gifts, to teach
their fellow-men. Mark, —God called
inttk. I notice in reading the history of
the church, that those who were teachers
were successful in proportion as they
were men—real men. .Jesus performed
many miracles. These miracles attested
his divinity. But he also spoke with the
lip of humanity, and said: *‘l am ihe
Son of Man:" and don’t yon forget it!
A preacher is successful just iu proportion
as he is a man. I’d rather he a whole
souled, frank, manly man than be any
thing dignified you could name, anl Lave
the manhood sapped out of me.
Some preachers want to do the divine
business —they have several ehanges of
garments ; they have one set for the pul
pit, one for the parlor, and one for the
street, and one tor their own private
view, in which they appear to them
selves as
GREAT BIG FRAUDS.
This sort of person is Mr. Bill Smith,
in the parlor of the family sitting-room;
in pastoral work, Pastor Smith; in social
life, Citizen Smith; in his private office,
Mr. Humbug Smith (laughter). I have an <
innate, concentrated hatred of shani3. I
like a eenuine man. I like a man to be
himself. God calls different styles of m n
to do His work. If He wants you, it is
yourself He wants, not a l'ac simile of
somebody else. God never made two men
alike; and if He did, one would be of no
account to start with. (Laughter.) God
never duplicated himself in the leaves of
the trees. 1 have seen college-made men.
1 have seen self made men. lam neither.
God made me from head to heels. (Laugh
ter.) I never interfered with Him.
(Laughter.) Boys, you’ll succeed as v<ur
personality or individuality makes itself
felt Men differ, and the difference makes
the world move. When you see a genu
ine man, you see
AX ECCENTRIC MAN.
He is like a meteor with a big long tail.
Not a tail, either, for that is the light
flooding the body of the meteor, and so
the genuine man is in a position in which
God can pour His light into him. Let us
be men. Let us stick to ihe human side
of the Gospel. If there is one man for
whom I have a greater contempt than an
other it is the little creature who goes up
and down the country, crying m doleful
accents—“You must be born again.” It
reminds me of an ant carrying a barrel of
sugar (laughter). I believe I should like
to hear the Rev. Dr. Douglas preach from
that text, but, boys, dont you try it! I
would not like to see you (laughter). Jesus
Christ stuck to the human side of things,
except once. When he did touch the
divine side there was only another person
present. The Jewish ruler, you remem
ber, got frightened, and Jesus waved him
off as if he was rather sorry he had men
tioned the matter. (Laughter.) I believe
in regeneration. The fact that lam here
proves its reality. I don’t attempt to ex
plain it. I believe the world exists. I
don’t know how it exists. I don’t try to
explain. Don’t you.
The speaker related the incident of the
disciples toiling all night, and catching
nothing, because they were fishing on the
wrong side of the ship.
NINE-TENTHS OF THE PREACHERS
of Canada and the United States are fish
ing on the wrong side. They are always
on the divine side. Boys there’s nobody
on the divine side but God. and you can’t
catch God; but if you’ll fish on the
human side you’ll ca cli people by the
thousand. (Applause.) There's a divine
and human side to farming, The diyine
side is the sun and the rain; the human is
the ploughing and sowing. But doesn’t
every lazy farmer say to God—“let me do
tho shining and raining; and do you,
Lord, do the ploughing and the sowing?”
(Laughter.) It is so in moral things.
If this kind of preaching would save the
world it would have been in glory long
ago. Having regard to the condition of
the world, I say to you, boys, that either
the Gospel of Christ is inadequate, or it is
not preached Preach it as humanity
wants it preached! Igo into church and
listen to a sermon, and say to my soul,
“There’s nothing here for you”; and I go
to sleep. Again, in another place, be f ore
ten words are spoken, I say, “Your mas
ter is here,” and I listen with profit. I
have listened to a man preaching for an
hour and saying nothing. I have often
wondered
IIOW A FELLOW COULD DRIVE
through a whole universe of ideas and not
hit one of them. (Laughter.) Boys, if
you find yourselves like that, give up
1 your license. Quit it when you are
young. (Laughter.) Be honest. Stick
to the human side. Stick to your crowd.
A dissertation on is of no use. The
application of truth is wonderful. Don’t
deal in generalities. There is nothing in
them. Many preaohers have better guns
and better ammunition than I have; but
no preacher on this continent can take a
better aim. Conceive truth clearly your
selves, and make it clear to others. After
clearness of conception, get concentra
tion. If you can put a whole lead
mime in a bullet, it will hit with
force. When we take an hour to
get through three propositions, we think
we have done something. Jesus got
through 120 propositions in twenty min
utes on the mount. There was clearness,
directness, concentration. Peter was
direct, concentrated, on the day of Pen
tecost, and he made 3,000 converts. But,
first, you must be concentrated. If you
would rather be the King of England, the
Emperor of Russia, the President of the
United States, than preach thej'ospel, you
are not fit to preach it. There are a
great many preachers who regret that
they chose this profession. They are
not alone in their regret. A good many
other people regret it too. (Loud
laughter.)
BE NATURAL—DON’T BELLOW.
Are you an animal? When you are
going to buy a property do you shout at
the top of your voice—“l’ll give you $lO,
000 for this!” Talk the Gospel. It is
much easier. It does not wear out your
throat. I never could preach myself; but
I can talk a little. It is a great art.
Avoid vulgarity, but use every other kind
of illustration, no matter how ludicrous,
that fairly illustrates the subject. You
haye nothing to be afraid of when you
first make sure that you are right, I never
was much afraid; but when I am right I
am afraid of no man. Suppose they kill
me. Well, I get to heaven ahead of time,
that’s all. Truth is naked. Don’t try to
dress it up to be agreeable. Don’t boys,
ever try to prove the Bible’s true, or that
Christ is divine. A great many preachers
never get beyond that. I have got beyond
it. Proving the truth of the Bib’e is like
a little fellow on this side of the mountain,
with a pole trying to hold it up because
another fellow on the other side is trying
to knock the mountain over (Laughter.)
Start out with a belief that the Bible’s
true; that Christ is divine; the universal
consciousness assests to these truths. To
prove them is only waste of time. Don’t
do it, boys. Above all things be natural.
Don’t be the liey. Jeremiah Smith, D. D.,
who,
IN A BIG VOICE
says, “If you repent you’ll be saved; if
you don’t you’ll be dammed —and I don’t
care much whether you arc or not.” (Loud
laughter.) God bless you.
Mr. Jones in the course of his address,
related his early experiences in evangelis
tic work. These were marked by many
pathetic touches, heightened by the quiet
telling.
Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who has
Boschee’s German Syrup to let its won
derful qualities be known to their friends
in curing Consumption, severe Coughs,
Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and ia fact
a 1 throat and lung diseases. No person
can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieye any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists to
recommend it to the poor, dying con
sumptive, at least to try on* bottle, as 80,-
000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and
no one case where it failed was reported.
Such a medicine as the German Syrup
cannot be too widely known. Ask your
druggist about it. Sample bottles to try,
sold at 10 cents. Regular size, 75 cents.

Of all the revivalist preachers that
have visited our city there is noue that
can compare with Bam t mall, the
evangelist, who has been holding forth
at the First M. E. cliureh during the
past week. No revivalist preacher ever
gained the confidence and esteem of his
afidieucesin so short a time or who held
it like him to the-last moment of his
stay in the city.
From the first meeting down to the
last the iut rest and numbers have in
creased, aud tiie last oue was a tremen
dous oue. Mr. Small’s success lies in
the fact that he is a master of the En
glish language, that he illustrates lus
subjects by familliar themes aud adorns
them with tho choicest allegory.
Coupled with this is his earnest belief
in the cause iu which he is engaged,
and his out-spoken denunciation of
religious shams aud hypocritical Chris
taius.
Mr. Small has done a good work in
our city and the neccessity which calls
him to a distant city is regretted by his
Christian brethren.

JOE BROWN HAPPY.
Philadelphia Times: It was noticed
that Senator Joe Brown, of Georgia, was
iu excellant spirits during the closing
week of the session and that he caressed
his long white beared with unwonted
tenderness. It is now said that lie has
sold his two iron furnaces near Chatta
nooga, and the coal mines which supply
them with fuel, for the round sum of
two millions of dollars. This ia a very
pleasant pecuniary transaction, but it -is
just to say that Senator Brown, although
previously worth several millions, lives
unostentatiously here and attends to his
senatorial duties with great promptness
His style of speaking is decidedly meth
odistical, but he never takes the floor
witiiout uttering a good deal*of sound
common sense. It has been reported
here for some time that he was anxious
to get rid of his coal mines, where he
was forced to employ convicts who are
hired out for labor in Georgia, instead of
being shut up iu a penitentiary in idle
ness.
