Alfred Si:LEV, the President of the

says:—“l went over some of our South

lint Georgia I‘aeitic, 1 found them all in
very good condition and a great boom
down there in real estate and mining in
terests. There is a, lull in Birmingham
real estate sales, but there is a very large
amount of building going on. There
seems to be a remarkable amontof enter
prise manifested in the south, esjM*eially
in Alabama and eastern Tennessee,devel
oping the natural resources of the coun
try. While real estate sjieculatiou may
have t si*n overdone at some points, still
many loealities have yet to feel the effect
of the enterprise and improvements going
on. There is no question but that the
newly developed manufacturing interests
of the south are upon a permanent basis
mid 1 ’oelieve that Georgia, Alabama and
Tennt*esee will add 50 per cent to their
imperial wealth ju the nejtt live years,’’
A Timely Topic.
Fader the caption of this article out
esteemed contemporary, the Constitu
tion, takes occasion to deliver a warning
against the evils whieh ensue from the
process of peripatetic evangelization to
which so many communities in the land
are now subjected.
Much that our neighbor says is true.
But its error lies in failing to draw and
state the true distinction lietween the la
bors, and their fruit, of“tho noisy fellows
who want loaves and fishes every fifteen
minutes, ' and the sincere, conscientious
and fearless minister of the doctrine of
Christ.
Indiscriminate condemnation of the
evangelists, as a class will, we fear, tend
to deter that wayside spreading of the
divine invitation, which it is our ex
pressed duty to declare to every living
soul. The bravest ehristain heart is
tender and sensitive. Evangelists who
travel without scrip or purse must be led,
clothed and all their temporal wants
cared for. Our great neighbor should
take beed lest its keen and pnngent crit
icism should turn back in its way
! some tender heart aflame with love, and
bring the messenger of God into disre
pute before the people.
The sense of propriety and the discern
ment of motive is as quick and sure
in the masses who hear the evangelist
as it is in the cultured audience who
t attend pulpit ministration. No man
j can long wear the livery of heaven to
! serve the devil in. Contempt follows ex
posure very swiftly, and the imposter is
! relegated to his true position. But the
1 spirit of truth lives. The Lord God om
nipotent reigneth. The doctrine of
Christ spreads, and the work of evan
gelization is fast embracing every land
beneath the sun.
As we write these lines the songs of the
morning meeting at the well fall u|kiii
our *nrs. Men in their working clothes
1 gather about the preacher. Business
i men pause, for a moment in the daily
rush and a sense of the futurity which
awaits us all strikes every heart. The
bread of life is broken! Happy is the
man who will eat; happier the soul
which believes. Out of such work good
comes to the citizen, to the community,
to the state.
Let us be careful in forming on r estimate
'of those who come in God’s name. Let us
j hold up the hands of that preacher and
sincere messenger who, in the street, in
the highway, in the market place, cries
aloud the tidings of eternal joy. And
above all let us not affect a contempt
for that striving after perfection w hich is
characteristic of those who are for a few
days abiding with us.
The writer, should lie ever enter the
gates of peace, will be well content to lie
there on his face Tor a thousand years
crying “only a sinner saved by grace!”
Yet, if my brother enters as a triumph
ant Christ ian soldier who proudly salutes
his Great Commander after a battle well
fought and won, so be it. As he will have
our love there, so lias he our heart and
hand here.
We are glad that the Ass* eiati m meets
in Cartersville. We entreat the Divine
blessing upon its members and their
work.
A Suggestion to Southern Towns.
The business men of the South, who are
h’H'lLijt, in -flirt p(T*rtnf doi'.dopiurnf of fix
industrial interests of that section, have
shown remarkable energy and enterprise
in making known to the world the advan
tages and attractions of the many pro
gressive cities that are springing np all
over the Southern States. It would be
well, hownver, for them to remember that
the work has really just commenced, and
that if the South is to keep up its present
rate of progress there must be steady,
persistent efforts to Secure this. It
would be a fatal mistake to imagine that
this progress hus attained such momen
tum that it would continue indefinitely
of its own accord. The South’s indus
trial interests would, of course, still in
crease, but less rapidly than the present
condition of affairs justifies.
The South is just at that position
w here the wide attention which has been
attracted can be turned to the beer ad
vantage, but to do this a liberal and
progressive spirit must be shown. The
same generous rivalry to secure the
building of railroads and the location of
new industries must lie displayed, and
the advantages of the South must be
constantly placed before the whole coun
try. It is not enough that some great
effort be made for a week or a month to
attract public attention, expecting this
to do for all time, but week after week
and month after month the work must
be vigorously pushed. If there are any
sjiecial advantages possessed by a tow n,
or if it has any inducements to offer, it
must keep these facts constantly before
the public. There ought then to be
somebody whose duty it is to attend
promptly to all inquiries. In many
towns there is no organization of any
kind to which such letters can be ad
dressed, and even in some of those where
bureaus of information, whether going
under that name or as chambers of com
merce or manufacturers' associations,
have tieen organized, the fact is not
known to the country, and naturally not
much good can be accomplished.
The above from the Baltimore Manu
facturer's Record eonnot apply to any
southern town with more force than to
Cartersville. No point can present such
wonderful and varied resources; and none
that would derive more good from a well
organized mid a judiciously manag'd
bureau of information. We have rejteat
edly called the attention of our business
men to the importance of establishing a
bureau of this kind, and trust the time
has arrived when they can see necessity
for it.
Germany rail behind $1,500,000 last

The baptismal register of the Episcopal
church at Muthill, in Scotland, has been

under the cover of trees, as it was impos
sible to take tlie child into the neighbor

Georgia’s Crops.
The official crop report for the month
of May. 1887, has been issued by the ag- (
rieultural department, and contains j
many points of interest.
It shows the present condition of the j
crop to lie decidedly better than at this j
time last year, with the exception of cot- I
ton. One of the most encouraging feat
ures of the report is the Locre&sed acreage
of the provision and supply crops. The
acreage in corn is two |*er cent, above the
average for the last five years.
When Georgia begins to grow* her own
supplies, then thpre will be a boom that
will not only be felt in every branch of
trade, but one that will be permanent.
The condition of the stock is reported
to Is? lietter, particularly the work stock,
than than that of any year since 1883.
The condition of corn is reported, in
North Georgia, 104; in Middle and
Southeast Georgia, 101, and in South
west and East Georgia, 102.
The prospect of the crop in comparison
with the average of five years is, in North
Georgia, 101: in Middle Georgia, 91 ; in
Southwest and East Georgia, 93 ; in
Southeast Georgia, 98,-and in the whole
state, 95. The condition of the crop is
four points lietter than that of the crop
of last year at this date.
The acreage of the oat crop, as com
pared to an average, is reported 88, and
the prospect 85. The proportion of the
crop now standing, that was sown in the
fall, is, in North Georgia. 11 percent.; in
Middle Georgia, 19; in Southwest Geor
gia, 22; in East Georgia, 38, and in
Southeast Georgia, 71. The condition
and prospect of the crop is nine points
better than was the report of last year at
this time.
The wheat acreage, compared to the
average acreage of this crop, is reported
78 per cent., and the prospect 92. The
acreage agrees with that of last year,
and the prospect in North and Middle
Georgia, to w hich the crop is mainly con
fined, is very much higher than that of
lust year at this time.
The cotton prospect does not show
such a flattering state of affairs. The
acreage is, in North Georgia, 101; in
Middle and Southwest Georgia, 99; in
East Georgia, 98; in Southeast Georgia,
102, iyid iu the whole state, 100.
The prospect of the crop is reported in
North Georgia, 90; -Middle Georgia, 87;
in Southwest Georgia and in East Geor
gia, 92, and in Southeast Georgia, 90.
In North Georgia 10 per cent of the
crop was up on the first of this month, in
Middle Georgia, 24; in Southwest Geor
gia, 02; in East Georgia, 87, and in
Southeast Georgia, 75 per cent., making
about 40 per cent of the whole crop of
the state.
There has been little rain since the
I dan ting, and in consequence there is
only about four-fifths of a good stand, in
the portion of the crop now up.
Ihe prospect, notwithstanding, is re
ported as high as that of lust year at
this date.
I here is a decided increase in the
acreage of sugar cane, rice, clover and
grasses over that of last year. This
amounts, with sugar cane, to about 20
per cent., with rice to about G per cent.,
and with do ver and grasses to 7 jier cent.
1 he peach crop is nearly an entire fail
ure in North and Middle Georgia. In
Southern and Southwest Georgia there is
a prospect of about a half cmj>. >*<i in
other southern sections somewhat less
than a half crop. Tin* prospect of the
apple crop is reported about two-thirds
of an average; that of the pear about
one-third. The prospect for the grape
cro p is reported 95, or nearly a full crop.
1 he IjONu contest over the senatorsliip
from West Virginia was ended last week,
by the election of Judge Faulkner. The
friends and admirers of the new senator
predict for him thecertaint.v of a brilliant
career in the senate, lie is a young man
of a prominent family, is said to be a
vigorous talker, and has already estab
lished a reputation as an orator of con
siderable power. His delivery is rapid
but yet precise. Trained in courts, as
well as in the debating schools and on
the stump, he has acquired a fund of in
formation that will make him a promi
nent- figure in debate. The new senator
is about five feet ten inches high, of slight
but graceful build, and clear-cut features,
lie wears a dark-brown moustache and
goatee. He has keen, dark eyes, and a
pleasant expression. He lives at Mar
tinsburg. with his wife and two children,
ami is the {(residing, judge over the cir
euit. running along the Potomac river
from Harper’s Ferry to Paupan. In ad
dition to all these qualities he has u
clean and honorable record, never hav
ing lw*en, his friends allege, the attorney
for any corporation whatever, or in any
way connected with the interests which
rightfully or wrongfully brought defeat
upon Senator Camden. West Virginia
can now boast of having the two young
est members of the senate. Senator Ken
nu was born in 1848 and is consequently
less than forty years of age, and Senator
cli*et Faulkner first saw light about the
\ ear 184 b. The only other senator who
might be classed with these two in youth
is Spooner, of Wisconsin, who was born
in Lawrenceburg, Ind., in 1848. And
singularly enough this trio is, in point of
legal and oratorical ability, ns strong as
any that could beseleeted from that body.
Mu. Randall talks in his broad style:
"Referring to the attempt to gerrymand
er his district out of the Congressional
list, he said that it was frustrated by
Senator Cameron and his friends without
any action on his part. Therefore he
regarded it as a manly advocacy of a
piece of political justice to a large Dem
ocratic vote in the metropolitan city of
the common wealth by Senator Cameron
upon his own sence of right.” He said:
“Senator Cameron and myself differ
very widely in politics, but if men in
politics were always governed by the
same liberal and broad views of the
amenities of polities it would be much
more satisfactory.. The majority ia
the Legislature had tie* power to exclude
tie* Democrats of Philadelphia 'from any
representation whatever by one of their
own faith ia Congress.”

The Seven Cuticura Boys
Those seven boauiiful boys owe their beauty of
skin, luxuriance of hairf purity of blood, and
freedom from hereditary taint or humors to the
celebrated Cuticvka Remedik*.
Thousands of children are born into the world
every day with some eczematous affection, such
as milk crust, scall head, scarf or daudruff, sure
to develop into an agonizing eczema, the itching,
burniug and disfigure tion of which make life a
prolonged torture unless properly treated.
A warm bath with Ccticcba Soap, an exquisite
Skin Beautifier, and a single application of Ccti
ccua, the Great Skin Pure, with a little Cvticcha
Resolvent, the New Blood Purifier, Is often
sufficient to arrest the progress Of the disease,
and point to a speedy and permanent cure.
Your most valuable Cuticcra Remkwcs have
done my child so much good that I feel like say
ing this for the benefit of those who are troubled
with skin disease. My little girl was troubled
with Eczema, anil I tried several doctors and
medicines, hut did not do her any good until I
used the < Cuticcra Remedies, which speedily
cured her, for which 1 owe you many thanks and
many nights of rest.

dies foiling, we called our family physician. wi u ,
attempted to cure it; but it spread with almost
inrresllale rapidity, until the lower portion of th*
little f. How’s person, from the middle of his hart
down to his knees, was one solid rash, iitrly, puj c .
fill, blotched, and malicious We ha tno rt-st
night, no peace by day. Finally, we were advised
to try the Ccticuba Remedies. The effect wan
simply marvellous. In three or four weeks a r.aii

never been attacked! In my opinion, your valu
