A DESERVED COMPLIMENT.
At a regular meeting of the County
Lius church the following resolution
was passed:
Whereas, singing it an important part
of public worship, and our voices need
training in order to make good music.
Therefore, be it resolved, That a vote
of thanke be giyen Brother J. G. Kim
ball and his assistants for the manner in
whioh the musie hae been conduoted
here, and for the care he has bestowed
upon our young people to Improve them
in singing.
Resolved farther, That he with hie as
sistants are requested to continue this
good and important work.
We are glad to kaow that the churoh
appreciates Mr. Kimbell’s work, for
churcbea generally attach less impor
tance to musio than they should, and
Mr. Kimball hae done as much mission
ary work, in musio as any man. County
Line is proverbial for its good music.

CRUMBLE Y-GLASB.
Mr. W. T. Crumbley and Miss Rosa

of Mr. Samuel Glass of Henry county
and has just reached sweet eixteea, and
is beautiful, cultured, and refined. Mr.
Crumbley is a sober aad industrons
youag man, and has saved a goodly sum
in order to eajoy his competency with
the prize he hae won.
On Monday the happy ooupfe, together
with relatives and a few select friends
about fifty in all, repaired to the home
of hie step-father, Mr. W. H. Jenkins,
at Jenkiusburg, to enjoy an infair din
ner. Mrs. Nancy Jenkins, with an ex
perience running from antebellum days
up to date, spread a feast that is rare.
The table figuratively groaned ander the
load of choice viandt known to the cul
linary art, the details of which beggars
description. Mrs. L. D. Moore, H. M.
Barren, and Miss Lola Childs did the act
of chaperoning, and au easier, more
home like feeling could not have per
vaded a happy crowd. Long live the
bride and groom, and “Uncle” Billy and
“Aunt” Nancy to prepare such festal
boards.
Mr. J. E. Torrence, of Atlanta, one of
the most popular drummers in this state,
wants to petition the council of Jackson
for more lights on the streets, and giyes
hie reason, stating that on the night of
February Sth, he lost his hat in an alley,
and when found it was going tow arda the
Cleveland louse. Mr. Torrence is prob
ably right from hia view of the situation,
bat the majority of eur peeple stay out
of alleys at night, especially when a cy
clone seems to be nosing around as on
that night.
Carry your watch to H&nee and have it

OBITUARY
Sister Elisebeth Bell, of Patillo, Ga.,
departed this life after many months of
suffering, Wadnsday evening, December
Oth, 1893. Sister Bell bore her affliction*
with unusual fortitude, was apprised of
her abort stay on earth for several week*,
but often epoke of her pefect resignitiou
to the will of the good Lord.
She was converted in 1800, and joined
the Primitive Baptist church, of which
she bsa been a consistent member and a
pillar of the church. At one time she
and one more sister composed the mem
bership ef Beulah church. Her funeral
was preached by Elder W. T. Goddard
at the cemetery. Using the Bth verae of
the 14th chapter of Mark: “She hath
don* what the eeuld.”
Never were there words more suitable,
or mere oempletely applied to the sub
ject. She was indeed a Christian. A
Christian wife, who led her husband to
church; a Christian mother, who led her
children to God; a Christian neighbor,
who influenced her neighbors to a better
life, and a Christian eitizen, who mad*
the world better by having lived in it.
In a letter the wrote to the Towallga
Messenger and died before i* was printed
eh* used the following, after having told
her experience of grace she closed with
these words: “I hop* I will be ready
when I am oalled away.
Foaslbly no husband, children, grand
children, neighbors, or ohuroli ever loet
more in the death of any one, than those
who lost dear Sister Bell, but let us all
thank God and take courage for oar loss
is snly an earthly one, while in exohang*
here is a heavenly and an eternal gain.
A preolous on* from us lias gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacont 1* our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has reealled
The boon his love had given:
And though the body slumbers now,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
A Friend.
The price of silver is declining, and
to is cotton and wheat. The receipts
of cotton are falling shorter everyday
and so is the price. Rev. Alex At
kinson says that the history of this
government is that cotton, wheat, aud
silver rite together.

ELOPEMENT.
Miss Ada, the sixteen year old daugh
ter of Mr. Thomas Maugham, of Pepper
Town, aud Mr. Lawton Byars ran away
and married Sunday. Mr. Mangham
pursued the young people and met hi*
daughter, but when she informed h s m
that the ceremony had been performed,
he returned without her and submitted
himself to his fat*.
Alas ! alas ! selfishness is the bane
of progress and human development.
The day seems to have been written
last on an older calendar than ours,
when a man was broad minded
enough and uusclfish enough to admit
that a man who differs with him and
his peculiar views is not necessarily a
scoundrel nor a f>oi. The man who
believes in and advo* ates thedemo
ciatic platform is a democrat and he
who opposes it is not a democrat for
the platform is the essence ot the party
iu a nutshell, and must be conformed
to as the organic law of the party.

A SHOTE AND A MORAL.
A gentleman in Valdosta bought a
pig to pick up the scraps about the
yard, inasmuch as be did not own a
dog. When he dug his potatoes iu the
fall the pig was given the wide range
et the late potato patch. A tew days
ago he judged that the pig was fit for
market, and he sought out the butch
ers and received bids. The highest
price offered was $ll.OO. The gentle
man finally closed at that figure on
condition that he was to have the lard
back at 10 cents a pound.
According to contract the pig was
butchered, the fat dried, ami the lard
weighed out to the seller of <he pig;
aud at 10 cent a pound he would hava
had to pay $12.20 for it, or $1.20 mere
than he sold the pig for, but the
butcher and a friendcornein and look
the lard ofl'of ids hands.
The moral is, that there is money in
raising pigs, and the town folks cau
engage in it a email scale also. Aud
t-ere is another moral: Butcher your
own snotes unless you are a good
judge of pigs on their feet, —Valdosta
Times.
In opposing State bauka ofisana,
the Populists have the enthusiastic
backing of Wail Street ind the money
ring. That is very wicked.

HE PLEASANTLY REMINDS US.
Editors Argus:—l seo in your is
sue ot February Bth the tollowiug:
“Our jail now has five boarders and
the prospects are that an adjourned
term of Superior court will haye to be
held in order to try the cases, which
have accumulated since the abolition
ot the county court.”
I think, if you will investigate the
crimes charged against the boarders
referred to, you will find that they
are of a grade that is not under the
jurisdiction ot the late “county court.”
Remember during the existence of the
county court we had a fair attendance
of boarders, and the ushers, waiters,
etc , were kept quite busy. I think
our regular term cau be made to ans
wer all purposes—l hope so at least.
Courts are expensive to the people
—collectively and individually. We
should try to make out on as little as
possible, keeping in view the preserva
tion of the dignity of the slate, etc.
The abotitiou of the eounty court
was desired by the people. They
knew when, where, and how it was
born ; how it had grown, and the diet
on which it existed. So the people
spoke gently but firmly through their
representative for its existence to
cease, audit is not with us any more,
at least for the time being.
Yours court or no court,
R. W. Mays.
THE GOVERNORSHIP.
As the gubernatorial campaign pro
gresses it is amusing to see the charges
the friends of Cos 1. Atkinson are mak
ing against Geu Evans. Surely they
are put to desperate straits—heads
’em “Gen. Evans was a Soldier,”
“an’ that old soldier racket is played
out, “He is a minister of the gospol,”
“He is 60 years old,” “He is (Lord
forgive him) a citizen of Atlanta.”
These are only samples. Tnere are
others equally as absurd.
This is no time for a family war
among democrats and any man, not
blind or a fool, cau see it. The ma
jority of Georgian* have not degenera
ted to the point that they find it Jrk
aome to honor a Christian patriot, and
they are not going to overwhelmingly
elect General Evans, because they
•‘love Caesar less, but Rome more.”

meal of the deer is not inappreciable
and the friends of both candidates
should bear this in mind. Colonel
Atk'nson is nrainy and brilliant, and
Georgia is proud of him, but he is
just a little too previous.

From Pike County Journal.
Editor Journal; Dear Sir: I desire
some little space in your colums to air

formed, lam not by myself in this
matter.
lam and have always been, a law
abiding citizen. I try to discharge
every obligation imposed upon me as
a citizen, and when I have done so, I
desire at least to be let alone. Afe w
da> s ago I was stopped on the public
highway by a coustable and notified
that he had a tax fifa against me for
collection. I had paid all taxes as
sessed against me and had a receipt in
my pocket tor same. This is not the
first time I have been annoyed by a
similar thing.
What is the matter? Where is the
fault? If a citizen returns his prop
erty when called on—pays his taxea
when called on—he certainly should
be exempt from being published over
thecouuty as a defaulter. Somebody is
surely responsible for this kiud of bus
iness, and the responsibility ought to
be placed where it belongs.
Very respectfully,
_ W. R. Wright.
Our neighbor in Pike has a right to
kick. The poorest business house in
this country would discharge a book
keeper wbo presented settled accounts
to their customers. A tax man is the
peoples’ bookkeeper. There are a
number ef our citizens who are annu
ally annoyed in this wy, and it is
time to stop it. Locate the cause and
remove it.
