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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. * W&T BLACK-DRAUGHT tea cares CouattpttfOß.

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.” The table of the lion and the bear to determine which should make a 2 Cars white cam. 2 Cars N. 0. syrup. 1 tai liHa Caaa Syrup! meal of the deer is not inappreciable and the friends of both candidates should bear this in mind.

Editor Journal; Dear Sir: I desire some little space in your colums to air a grievance, and if I am correctly in 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. ■ CONTRACTORS NOTICE.
