The spring terra of Jackson Insti tute closed on Wednesday night with a grand Musical by the music department. As was stated some time ago the regular exercises were declared oil on account of an epi demic of measles. Prof. Blasingame gave a small entertainment, begining at 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon that did much credit to all who participated amt was enjoyed by all who ten ded and Mis Rogers’entertainment was one of the best the Institute has ever given. The program was a fine one and every one acted her part to perfection. Too much can not be said of Miss Rogers as a music teacher as the renditions on this oc casion plainly showed. Notwithstanding the school has had much to retard it, in the wiv ot the stringency of money, sickness etc. it has had a pros; ere us year and we predict that its future will bo brighter than its past.

Grumbler, and claimed as iis victim his loved companion. A iter a lingering illness, in which she suffered much, 3/rs. Mahal ah C. Crumb ley, on the night of 13th 3/ay, 1893, took her exit from time to eternity. Though her afflictions were seveie, yet she bore them with that patient and Chris tian resignition that becometli a true disci ple of Christ. A few days previous to her departure, being conscious that death vas inevitable, she expressed to her sister her readiness and willingness to die, and repeated that sweet and consoling stanza: “Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillars are; While on his breast 1 lean my head, And breathe my life owl sweetly there.” She joined the Phillippi Baptist church in her sixteenth year. Was baptised by Rev. Lauey Duffey (who was then pastor) and lived a consistent devoted Christian life to the day of her death, a period of thirty two years. Her intluence as a neighbor and a citi zen, and her deportment as a Christian was fully realized iu the community in which she resided. She was a loving and devoted wife, a kind and affectionate step-mother, and al ways bore her part of the burdens of life cheerfully and willingly. ♦She was kindly disposed and p’tied the frailties of the weak and erring, yet made no compromise with error and wrong. It can lie truly said of her. those who knew her best loved her most. Her chair in the home circle is vacant. !She will occupy her seat in the church no more. Her voice will never be heard again in tender accents of admonition and comfort in the family circle, and the voice will not be heard in the church choir. Sweet, strong and musical will be heard no more in the church militant, but will be sweeter, stronger and more meliodious as it joins the heavenly choir in sweet anthems of joy in the church triumphant. Farewell, dear sister, soon thy aged mother, husband and friends now on earth will be associated with thee in the spirit wotld. Dearest sister, t/rou hast left us, A hand diyineliath bereft us— Iu a world of bliss and joy, Praise and song be thy employ. B. B. Strickland. Distilling Roses in Turkey. We stopped before a khan to look at a distillery and rose field. In front of a long shed six large caldrons stood over the brazier, and into these vessels about SSOO worth of roses wore put with warm water. The iron tubes through which the vapor escapes passed through a long tin recep tacle shaped like a trough, which was filled with cold water, and be low which large glass bottles stood to receive the first distillation. Three distillations are necessary before the oil of the rose appears. We were shown a small bottle into which the essense just dis tilled had been poured. The color is a rich gold and the smell is strong, subtile and penetrating, pleasant for the first instant, but soon producing a sense of giddi ness and oppression in the head. It affects everything near it and the perfume clings tenaciously even in open air. The proprietors are secured from being cheated, as the peasants cannot endure the perfume they themselves manu facture, and make no use of it whatever. It is sealed up in leaden bottles and sent to the groat perfume emporiums in Lon don and Paris. Blackwood’s Magazine. The Cost of a Billiard Bali. The cost of a billiard ball is cu riously estimated by a Cairo author as follows: In the judgment of honest African travelers, the tusks of dazzling whiteness are answer able for the following: One hun dred and sixty deaths that must be counted as murder or man slaughter; thirty deaths, incurred during the journey from the in terior to the coast; ten “deaths by law,” and ten accidents during the elephant hunt. “'Add to this fif teen thefts, any amount of cheat ing, drunkenness, and acts of brutality and cruelty.” A medi uucsized faultless tusk yields two, or occasionally three, billiard balls; and every ball means, it is stated, at least one murder or one great crime.—lnvention.

But ef dat means dat dese wufiess nig gers am ter git de uoshun in dere beds dat hell am 'bolisked I’d bet tail be girtin' erlong home, chainin 3 up de chickens an 3 loadin’ my ole shotgun.”—Atlanta Constitution. Man Qutdone By Woman. “You may talk all you like about women being the weaker sex,” said Mrs. Suipps, “but the women of this country did some thing last year that men could never do.” “And that was?” inquired Mr. Snipps. “Lost 50,000,000 hairpins and wore the wings of 3,000,000 birds on their hats. ” —Buffalo Express. FROM BLACK ANKLE. The present financial crisis has been coming to a head for the oast twenty years. And it was brought about by democrat and republican legislation. When the bill passed t > call in the greenbacks burn them up and issue bonds iu their place and allow rich politicians to buy them and make the farmer pav the interest on them, a majority of the democrats then in congress voted for the measure. I will venture to say that there is not a farmer in the state of Georgia that asked that such a bill be passed. It was done that private corpora tions might get full control! of all the money and they have done it. And there is not a man with a thim ble lull of sense that doesn't know that the wheels of commerce is al most locked on the account of the scarcity of money and strange to say we now come across a farmer who says that laziness on the part of the farmer is what is the matter. 1 chanced to pass the house of one of these sort not long ago. He had his breeches rolled up to his knees, and his wife and mother and chil dren were all chopping cotton in the mud, and his wife goes back to the house at ten o’clock, to put on dinner and nurse her little innocent baby and then go back to the field and hoe till twelve o’clock. And 1 have heard this same man say that he could make money making cot ton at six cents per pound. Any man who is satisfied with the pres ent condition of things and is wil ling to see his mother and wife wear themselves out in the field all we have to sav to him is ’ let Ephraim alone be is job e 1 to his idols.''

Two Eleo-ant Vestibule Trains o Every Day, An Enterprising Manage nent. On May 28th. the F. I’. V. & G. R'y inaugurated through train service be tween Atlanta and Chicago. This is the first step in this direction that ha ever been taken audits something that wi 1 be appiccialed by the travel ing public. The first train is called “THE WORLD’S FAIR SPECIAL,” and leaves Macon 3 ;25 a. in., Atlanta 6:35 a. m , running solid to Cincinna ti and carrying sleepers through to to Chicago via the 0. H. & D. and Monon, a.riving at Chicago the next morning at 7 :59. The second train is slie “CHICAGO LIMITED” which leaves Macon at 11-10 a. in. arrives in Atlanta i-5o p. in., leaves 2-10 p. in. arrives at Chica go next after-noon 4-40 p. m. This train runs solid between Macon and Chicago and is composed of United States mail car, baggage car, elegant day coaches, Pullman and Wagnor sleeping cars running via the Big Four Route from Cinbinnati. Upon its arrival at Cincinnati at 6-25 a. m. an elegant dining car is attached which is carried to Chicago. The in auguration of this service makes mis coauection impossible as is liable to occur by other lines. Now is the time to go to the WORLD'S FAIR, and in the language of the E. T. Y. &. G Management they can take you there “witl all the comforts of home.” The E. T. V. & G. is the only line having exclusive use of one of Chicago's fin est hotels in which passengers can have rooms reserved before leaving home. It is the Hotel Ingram situa ted opposite the World’s Fair entrance and the through train via the E. T. V. &G. lands passengers within I'vo blocks of this Hotel, thus saving the expense and trouble of transfering. The Ingram was not built as a tempo ral} 7 World’s Fair Hotel but it is a permanent structure built of ston e and richly furnished. The World's Fair Commission is now preparing a circular which they will mail to all four quarters of the Globe contradict ing the statement that the Fair is in an incomplete condition,and also that exorbitant prices are being charged for accommodation etc, aud the trav el is sure to increase when the public gets this information. rallies addressing Mr. J. J Farns worth, Division Passenger agent 621 Equitable building, Atlanta, Ga., can secure a prompt answer to any ques tion relating to the route, rates, sched ules, hotel rate?, sleeping car fare, in fact any thin/, eise necessary to out line a trip, and if desire oueof the E. T. V & G'traveling men will go to to any point and personalv attend to ad the wants of passengers. D R PRICES @Spowde? The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. —No Ammonia; No Alum.

Driver merry, light-hearted children frolic in their childish glee around the broad corridors and on the tui fled lawn. They are bright lovable children, and the only son is of that spintuable loveliness so rare, and so admirable. - £ y e Mr. and Mrs. Aherod Pope have a fam ily of beautiful children, and as we think of Z,e Vert there comes to miud these lines which describe her radiant liveliness perfectly: “Her yellow hair was a golden cloud, Here eyes were azure blue, Her skin was like the mountain snow 7, Or lilies dashed with dew, Her chin was finely moulded, Her lips like cherries sweet, And her checks like the bloom Of the summer flower Where the rose and the lily meet.” Have you all ever seen a large wax doll with woudrously dreamy gray eyes, fring ed by long curling lashes, a fluff of golden hair, and plump round rosy cheeks, and sweet hissable lips that look for all the world like ripe dewy, luscious strawber ries? Of course you all have, and just for all the world like this doll is one winsome Laidee Hitchens in her little red dress, red hat and red shoes. She seems but a dolly tilled with life and cherriness. I have seen this adorable child again, arrayed in the daintiest of silk mulls, a picturesque, broad brim bat, covered with fluffy tulle, and she seemed to breathe forth the fra grance of the snowy star-jasmine. Nellie Bryan, the three year old daughter of Mr and Airs, Tom Bryan, is a maiden with soft tresses, dangling eyes and tempting lips. (She is a graceous child, and is as happy as the day is long when playing with her noble friend Morrison Settle. A lovely child that I see with her hand some parents on evtry Sabbath morniug at divine service is Mary t>oddard, and will be singled out of any assemblage for her personal charms and gentle purity of expression. The cheering little sunbeam in Dr J. L. Mapps vine-wreathed cottage is happy hearted little Annie Fenner. She is such a bright sparkling little girl bubbling over with merriment and innocent fuu, among her playmates she is a universal favorite. The manliest little bright-eyed youth is Master Paul Jones. It seems that he can say the quaintest, most humorous things at the most unexpected times. JCvei y body knows Paul, and every body lingers to speak and listen to his witty sayings. “On this line,” as a certain beloved Meth odist preacher used to say, passing down the cool, shaded street leading to Mrs. Paul's sequestered home my attention was attracted to an exquisitely fine infant’s robe, of the softest of Aain sooks trim med with the filmy cobweb-like footing, and edged witn real lace, and, of course, there was the usual array of delicate hued baby ribbons. This was to adorn the plump little figure of handsome Master Lassiter Masons, and was the deft and ban diwork of the gifted Miss Mattie Paul. Covington street is famed for its lovely babies, but their beauty is rather exclu sively kept within the flower laden yards and perfumed breezes of covmgton street. No street in town possesses more charm ing hospitable aud whole souled people than does this above mentioned sheet, re adzing this fact they are a “wee bit” self ish and mingle very little w ith the inhab itants of other streets. On this street may be found the baby daughter of Mr. Gog gans. They laughingly call her the ‘ snow maiden,” as her little peepers first opeued opon this world of ours where every “twig and elm tree were riged inch deep with pearl,” This baby is considered very, very beautiful aud as sweet as beautiful* Mrs. Tobe Ham’s wee bidlings make merry the home nest, and each and every one possesses a rare type of childish beau ty. Where the grent forest, tree cast great shadows, aud a wreath of bright luted ge ranium blossoms nod lazily in the breeze, on Indian Springs street, i3 found the mer ry blue-eyed babe of Mrs, Lunquest. They have three children, and all are children well deseivingtlie pride of the doting par ents. If in these Hastily penned “write ups,” we have failed to mention any of the little ones, it is from a lack of acquaintance, aud not omission of the heart. For would that I knew each and every one to observe their personal charm->, and hear daily their infantile prattle. One other, and then my pleasant task will be over—my pen will be laid aside in silence, yet in my heart of hearts will ever verbrate a tender chord fir the Jackson babies. Master Olin Barfield is one of the most beautiful children 1 hav e ever seen. I have watched this singular ly handsome child in silent admiration, ami often have felt an irresistable inclina tion to caress, pet and and stroke the rip pling masses of feathery gold that crowns his shapely head. He is indeed a lovely aud a mos< lovable child- L. L. the superior medicine. An Atlanta Remedy which lias Afoul the Test, and Stands in Efont.
