No less than seventy-nine Presby teries are represented in this body, which is one of the most noted re ligious parliaments that meets in this county. Presbyterian ministers are famous the world over for the.r learn ing and general preparation for their work n* well as for their zeal and devotion. It is impossible for a man who is not well educated to enter the Presbyterian ministry. The south ern branch of that church; especially, lias been and is laiuous for its learn ed and eloquent pulpiteers. The as sembly at Little liock will therefore furnish a rich feast of reason, as well delightful flow of religious spirit. The great organization which this body represents lias grown steadily and with 'increased rapidity during the past few years. The past year has been an unusually prosperous one for it. The delegates have therefore dome together buoyant in hope as they are steadfast In the faith. They are hap py over the prospects of a continued growth and extension ot the church to which they are so deeply devo ted. The assembly lias many matters of importance to consider and act on, besides the reports of the operations of the various church organizations for the past year. One of these special matters is the election of a new secretary of home missions made necessary by the death of the lamented Dr. .1 N. Craig, of tins city, some months ago. A strong effort will be made to remove thu headquarters of the home mission hoard from Atlanta io Little lioek. The Presbyterians of Geor gia are well represented at the as sembly and will be able to give good reports of the condition and pros pects of their church in this state,— Atlanta Journal. From tlie Tliomnsvillc Tlmea-Enterprlse. A big land suit has been filed in the federal court at Macon by Hall & Wimberly as attorneys for Mrs. Caroline A. Kilgore, of Utah feui- torrv, Mis. Arinina T. Anderson, of Dekalb county, Ala., and her fifteen year old son, S. Robert H. Anderson, against J. B. Norman, Jr., of Col quitt county, and fifty-seven other defendants, the majority of whom re side in Colquitt county. Among the defendants are Virginius G. Hitt and W. W. Ash burn, of Atlanta, and the Union Lumber Company, whose place of business is in Fulton county The defendants, who are particularly mentioned in the suit are Henry M Hitt, now deceased, who was a real estate agent in Richmond county and A. T. McIntyre, Jr., also deceas ed, who was a law’yer in Thomas county. Virginias G. Hitt, of Atlan ta, is administrator on the estate of his late brother, Henry M. Hilt, and Henry G. Turner, ot Brooks county, is administrator on the estate of A T. McIntyre, Jr. The suit involves the ownership of nineteen lots of valuable land, consis ting of 490 acres each, a total of 9,- 310 acres, all lying m the county of Colquitt, but originally in tlie county of Irwin, and then Thomas. The suit will have to be amended, in so far as the estate of Mr. A. T McIntyre, Jr., is concerned. Henry G. Turner is not the administrator of that estate. Mr. Samuel L. Hayes is the administrator. The case is at tracting a'good deal of attention, and will no doubt be a hard fought one We understand that the Union Lumber Company do not own, or claim any of the lands, but they have bought and paid for the timber on three ot the lots invoyled.

We have had so much muddle and gush about “the new south” that we suspect it 1ms become wearisome to northern audiences to whom it usually addressed in a sort of apolo getic manner. It has certainly worn the patience aud excited the contempt of very many persons in the south It is therefore refreshing to read the following words which Were lit tcred a few days ago by Mayor Smyth, of Charleston, in an address to tlie Southern Railway Agents’ As sociation: “You will not find this a new Charleston. We do not believe that anv more than in the new south. We are unchanged in our reverence, iu our loye and devotion to the grand principles of the olden time; we are loyal, we always will he loyal to the glorious teachings of our heroic past.” We have no doubt that every northern man who ^ieard Mayor Smyth’s speech felt a great deal more respect for hitn thgn would have been inspired by anything in the nature of a penitential plea.— Atlanta Journal. UK TOOK $21 A.OO. Mr. Easel, a stiller on Capt. J. K Sharpe’s turpentine place at Twilight had twotmudred and fifteen dollars stolen from him a few days ago. Aj young man bearing the name of Cravin, who rode the woods, was sus pected, arrested and lodged in jail here about a week ago. The day after Ins arrest he acknowl edged that he had committed the robbery and made known to Sheriff J. S. Wilkin the slump bole in which the money was hid. The money was restored to Mr. Easel.

The collection of Assyrian and Babylonian records at the British Museum has revealed more of the domestic life of people who lived 5,000 years ago than is known in the case of our own countrymen 1,000 years ago, says the London Chroni cle. Such was the opinion expressed by Mr. W. St. Chad Boscawen when he explained these relics to an inter ested audience recently. The clay bricks and cylinders beneath the glass cases were covered with char acters testifying to a completely or ganized system of justice, marriage, divorce and commerce. The book keeping of 5,000 years ago was shown to be wonderfully accurate. A curious form of record is that pre served in tlie form of baked clay tab- tublets, which were inclosed in clay envelopes, also enscrlbed with the terms of the transaction, so that a double record provided against the possibilities of damage. The “open and closed evidence,, spoken of by Jeremiah-is supposed to reter io this svstem.
