The Cingalese worship the tooth of a mon key, while an elephant’s and a shark’s tooth serve a similar purpose among the Malabar islanders and the Tonga islanders respectively. The Siamese were formerly the possessors of the tooth of a sacred monkey, which they valued highly. In a war with the Portuguese they lost the holy grinder, along with much gold and precious stones. English and Scotch Golf. Although golf was played in Scot land at a much earlier period, the hon or of the tirst club rests with Eng land, where the Royal Blackheath was organized In 1608—possibly by James VI., possibly only as an outgrowth of that convivial “Knucklebone club.” The Edinburgh Burgess Golfing socie ty, with more social than sporting predilections, dates from 1735, and St Andrews, popularly regarded as the alma mater of golf, was founded in 1754, while the Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers set up links at Mus selburgh in 1774. JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, AUG. 2nd <907. RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THE JACKSON METHODIST S. S. ON THE DEATH OF MRS. J. W. OUTHOUSE. The Jackson Methodist S. S. sor rows greatly to have to record the death of one of its most efficient faithful members. In the death of Mrs. Outhouse, the S. S. sustains a distinctive loss. She testified most confidently before going, of the won derful keeping power of the Lord. Her church will miss her, but God doeth all things well. She was truly his and loved and served him with a perfect heart. Asa school be it re solved, That while Mrs. Outhouse’s trans lation from earth to Heaven was great gain to her, we mourn over her going, but will hold in high esteem her Christian character, her full con secration and her praise-worthy exam ple in seeking the salvation of souls. Resolved, that oar school has lost one of its most competent and belov ed teachers. One who was always found in her place as long as her health would permit. She gaiued the love and confidence of her pupils and her influence for good will abide with them. Resolved, that our deepest sympa thy goes out to the bereaved husband and her devoted children who loved her much, God only can comfort them. May his presence be manifes ted in this time of sore bereavement. Resolved, that a copy of the above be recorded in the minutes of S. S., published in The Jacksonian and The Argus and a copy be sent to the sorU rowing family. ( Mrs. Kinsman, Committee ; Mrs. Crum, ( Mrs. Webb. INTERESTING LETTER FROM REV. W. W. McGORD.

After closing at Richton Miss, I went to Mobile —then to Fiomaton them e to. Pensacola The latter is a nice little city of some 18thousand inhab itance. The opening of the Panama Canal will no doubt make this an important port. In leaving this city we crossed a large Lake on R. R. Renniding one of the bridges across Lake Pouchartrain coming out of New Orleans, which is seven miles long. The “Ellen in” R. R. is the only one running to this place at pres ent. It has several branches however. It is supposed by many that Mr. Williams Line, The Ga, & Fla. R. K. from Augusta to Fla. is making its way to the Gulf Coast because of the Canal. By the time it is finished in 1915 there will likely be two or three more trunk lines, running Houthwest and North-east, through Ga. The writer then camo on over to River Junction IGI miles. Here you can take boatß on the Chattahoochee riv er for Kainbridge and other points north es well as south. Then we took the Seaboard which passes thro Tallahassee. This being the capitul of the state “The land of Flowers" one would naturally think it quite a city. It is only a small town howev er, with some forty seven hundred people, coming on to Greenyille, where God gave us such a gracious meeting a few months ago. The wri ter stopped off for the night, leaving next morning for Madison, where he caught train on Valdosta Southern, for Valdosta.

Miss Lois Biles rendered a number of musical selections to the delight of tne guests At a late hour ices and cake was serv ed.

Mr. Editor. I want to call the atten tion of our commissioners to the con dition of the rail road crossings at the Gate City Gin, the one at Mr. H. F. Gilmore’s residence two at Pepporton and the one below there. I don’t know whether it is the R. R’s or the Commissioner’s duty to fix these places. They need dirt or cindera put in between the rails. It is awful to pass over it, If it is the R. R’s. duty Mr. Newman should attend to it at once so there will be no com plaint made to the rail road. If it is the Countie’s duty let it be fixed at once as this is very annoying to the traveling public, and there is danger of a breakdown with a heavy loaded wagon in passing over such a place, and a train coming might cause serious damage.
