That we the citi zens of Butts county, feel a deep interest in tho railroad develop ments now being made in our state, promising as the/ do, the opening up of hitherto undeveloped sections of our common country; bringing to* our state a large amount of capi tal, enhancing the value of our our property, and placing comforts and accomodations at the doors of pri vate citizens: for all of which we feel the deepests sense of gratitude to the syndicates organized for the purpose of building the extension anj the Georgia Pacific. Resolved 2d. That we have heard with surprise that opposition to the granting of the charter to Rome, would be made in the General As sembly of Georgia. That while we have too much confidence in the intelligence pa triotism arid honesty of our Repre sentative to credit such a report, should such be true, we deeply de plore lie want of appreciation on Lae part of such of orir agents as woui i refuse to grant such rights to tho syndicate which proposes to be our benefactors.

' Our Typo, Eddie McGehee, who is one of the most attentive to his business, joined in with the classes* and did credit to. himself. After the recitations were over he delivered the following speech: Ladies and Gentlemen : Antong all. the various occupations of liiopKere is not one of more interest tlniu Ain't c • printing. Front the, largest and nfo; costly book to the smallest i)aii\phlei there are found thought of rarest beauty. Before the art oi printing took- its place in the bustling busy world, these gems were narrowly confined to the favored few whose means enabled them to deal in manuscripts. The present day. is fruitful, npt only of though is, the grand est and most sublime, but of their rapid transmission from mind, to mind. The philosopher in the remotest part of our green world Unearths some, profound mystery and the wires speed jt across continents and broad seas to the printers’ door and his busy fingers set it up, so that it becomes in a few days the prop erty of the whole civilized world. Some new star is seen from Beilin’s hilltops to-day’, and to-morrow the printers of New York give it to a hundred thousand readers. Printing is to the lazy pen what the dashing" iron-house is to the slow plodding ox, which barely travels a mile an hour. Look at your eage" an- at post arrivals. The news papers. come fyOm different quarters with their several budgets of informa tion as welcome guests to your roading' rooms. T‘ tese lake rank, like the otlicers of a well regulated army, and you find recreation and Often real pleasure in their perusal. An account, ot fiercely fought battles with trailing banners on the one hand, and the palm of victory on the other, comes to you through this rapid vehicle of thought. The news-papers of 1.0-day are like the oil of thirsty ma hinerv. The world is on electric wheels. "Men are 011 the lookout/for something new amdstratling: something that stirs the soul and sets their ambition on fire. These anxious desires are .answered by the press and echoed from hill to hill the world over by the news-paper armies. Don’t forget that-the typo plays an im portant part .in this rapid transmission of thought. Bending over his case with all his jchky surroundings, he becomes the hoi aid of those choice items which fill your soul with so much lapiure, and beguile tho hours that would otherwise drag so heavily upon your heals.

This life can be most easily entered through the door of the Sabbath School, then where we find young-mien' pfcJfifning the Sakblffli day by engaging in sports and'.prac tices which are contrary to even de cent, society and much more'to the laws of God. We find them bible in hand going to the house of God to learn of the riches of Christ, riches that, fade not away. Where we find them cold and indifferent to their future life, we would find them alive to the grave and responsible duties which are soon to devolve upon them. Could I cause - the young la dies who are indifferent to the cause and to the work and goocT of the Sabbath School to consider. I would remind them that soon you must rise up to take the places of places, of your pious fathers and religious mothers, soon, ere you are aware, that age comes on, when the bur djenp which they bear will be hern by you, Some eff you must take the place of your Superintend ant, oth ers must fill the places of these teachers.
