Some Serious Thoughts for the man or Woman Who Seeks the Truth. ‘•The wages of sin is death.” Every sinner earns this by long and painful service. What pains do men take to get to hell! Ear ly and late they toil at sin, and would not Divine justice be in their debt if it did not pay them their due wages? Sinner, you are working hard for your own everlasting misery and damnation. As one has said : •“Oh the labot it costs poor wretches to be damned ! Though their anger be nothing but a tor menting of themselves, and re venge and envy consume their spirits and keep them on a con tinual rack ; though uncleanness destroy their bodies, estates, and names, yet will they do and suffer all this, rather than suffer their souls to he saved.” Oh how the review of this will feed the flames of hell! W ith what rage will these damned wretches curse themselves, and say: “Is damnation worth all this pain and cost?” If men were as much in earnest to get their souls saved as to prepare them for hell, heaven would he highly peoplt d and devils would be their own companions. Unsaved friend, it is hard for you to extinguish the light that God has given you from your in fancy and make yourself believe wiiat you do not believe. God has done and is still doing all in His power to save you. You have worked hard these many years to get past all that God has put in your way to keep you from being lost. How hard you have labored to harden and quiet the voice of conscience; to stifle your convic tions and turn the. Spirit away. You may succeed in qeenching the Spirit’s work for a time, but it will break out at last and witness a gainst you at the judgement. Precious soul, winy toil for endless anguish, and force thy way to realms of desp.air? “As I live, c-aith the Lord Gcd, 1 have no 1 pleasure in the death of the wick ed ; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for -why will ye diet” Fzc<k. 33511 —Tract No. 8. Printing of ft.blic Laws- Although it is now some time since theiLegislature adjourned, the state printer has not yet completed the pnblicat'on flf the new laws passed by them. (Other publishing houses publish there laws and have them for-sale some time before the vohcmeik turned «*ut by the state printer. This matter should be looked into, and if these gentlemen can not get the book out earlier, let the legislature put the contract where itcan be done more prompt y. This delay causes lawyers and officers (much annoyance, as they need these laws es soon as pub lished.—-Baxley Banner.

The lawyers Waycross are all down at Camden Superior court this week, and there’s no one at home to keep things straight but John Greer and Billey Sharpe. Union Meeting at Prospect Church- According to a previous engage ment we had the pleasure of at tending the Union meeting at Prospect church, in Irwin county last Saturday and Sunday. There were present on Sunday between seven hundred ar;d one thousand people. Itro. A. 1L Finley preach ed some of his best sermons and a great meeting was tiie result of the two days service. Revs. Mar lowe, Bishop and a number of the cleverest, best people we ever met were present, and when the time came to return to our mother and home, we regretted to tell them good bye. That dear good brother and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, besides several oilier kind, friend ly gentlemen and ladies will not be forgotten by us. Some of them told us that they intended to lead better and purer lives. God help them to do so. Some favors for the Breeze were also given, and promises made for more, for which we are thankful. Bro. Finley was called as the regular pastor of that church, and as all of the people seem to think so well of him it is believed he has an opportunity for doing much good. For all who were so kind to us we have kind reraemberance. Douiii. The Sunday Reading- For the past month we have | published a half column or more) of good, choice selections, at the 1 request of a l .dy friend, and on j inquiring among the readers of this | paper have the following views j from them, as to how they liked i the Sunday reading: No. r.—lt is a good idea of I yours. A fellow reads something good before he knows it. No. 2. —Don’t read anything of that kind. When I want any thing like that I’ll hunt up the bibie. No. 3 —1 think it is a good thing. I never fail to read it, and the children read it. No. 4. —As to your Sunday I Resding 1 do not endorse or ob ject to it, as I never read it, but my wife does.

ALL KINDS OF JOB PRINTING.^- SI.OO per Annum UNCLE WASH- Talks About Schools and Roads, the Country and the People. Mr. Editor : —The good people of this county have been making the mistake, our genial friend, Benajah Peterson made in writing Tom Wilcox to order hay, when he should have said hay-wire. Instead of ordering wire to wire the hay that abundantly grows on our lands, they have been ordering hay. But vvc are glad to note the turning of the tide. There has been more and finer hay made in this county this year than ever before. The people are awakening to the fact that it is one of the most pro fitable crop's, and are turning their attention to the making hay. There is an immense amount* of labor spent, and money wasted in trying to destroy one of the most profitable crops that can be grown on our lands. We are pained to note the con flict between our roads and schools. It would be very much regretted if we shou’d have to lose any of the school fund, but next in importance is our roads. We would be glad if there was enough money to give a ten months compulsory school, and clayed roads throughout the county. But this we have not, and will have to make the best of it. Our County Commissioners are successful businessmen, ard have 1 the entire confidence ot the people. J We can rest assured that they will | not do anything, only with the j hope that it will be for the best, i We do not want to grow one-sided. ' Everything will have to go along togetner —each sharing the advan- 'cages, and disadvantages alike. We would not have our schools suffer injustly on account ol our roads. And we do not want the roads to suffer too severely on ac count of our schools. As water seeks its levels, so will ail thinga adjust themselves in due time. We I have only to do our whole duty as I best we can, exercising <)lir . cs judgement, and never faltering. We all make mist akes. 1 hey have been made throughout the ages. Profane nor Biblical history records the acts of a man, that c’ul not at some time make mistakes An all the years to ccme have locked in them mistakes tor us all. - j man can live unto himself, and ! no ,-nan can live so perfect as to make.’ 10 mistakes.
