Methodist Sunday School
Passes Resolutions Up¬
on the Death of Mr.
N. J. Browning.
Ol May 211910 the angel of
death, directed by the divine
wisdom of our heavenly Father,
visited our Sunday School circle
-pid bore away the spirit of our
dear brother, Mr. N. J. Brown¬
ing. He united with the
Methedist church when young
and began taking an active
part in church work, especially
the Sunday school. For many
years he had been the little
boys teacher in the Sunday
School, and was always ready
to help the church and com-
munity with his prayers and
means, He was a loval, cheer¬
ful Christian and had the cour¬
age to stand for the right. His
labors on earth are done, his
trials, troubles and. sufferings
are o’er, and though the great
giver of all that is good has
summoned him to his heavenly
home we must not forget that
it was He who gave this beauti¬
ful life to us so lo :g. While we
bow in thankfulness to our
Father for this life we moan
the loss of one so useful and so
much needed, and that the
family may know of our sym¬
pathy be it resolved;
1st. That our Sunday School
has lost a faithful, efficient
teacher whose service for his
Master has proved a blessing to
his pupils and co-workeis.
2nd. That we bow in sub¬
mission to the will of Him who
worketh all things together
for good to them that love the
Lord.
3rd That we extend to the
bereaved family (those who
most of all realize how sad i t is
to give him up) our heartfelt
sympathy, and commend them
to the God of all grace for
comfort.
4th That these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes of
our Sunday Scnool, a copy be
to the family, and also to the
Advance for publication.

Tribble And Our Postof¬
fice—The Main Factor
in Having The Negro
Postmaster Removed
And a White Man
Put in His
Place.
When Athens was afflicted
with a negro postmaster a num-
her of our worthy citizens under¬
took to have hun removed and a
white man put in his place.
Among the most prominent work
ers in this movement was Af r, S.
J. Tribble.
Mr. Tribble, as will be conced¬
ed bv all, was the most active and
earnest factor m this movement.
He secured a petition of thous¬
ands of names requesting the
President to remove M. B. Mor
ton, that negro postmaster, ac
companied with affidavits and
other eyidence of Ins unfitness for
that position. lie went to Wash
ington, together with a few oth¬
ers to see the President and pre
sent the petition and evidence in
hand. While others did their
part in this matter, yet all regard
ed Sam Tribble as the prime
mover, the most earnest and un
ceasing factor i» ridding our city
of an outrage that had long been
put upon her.
So universal was M r. Tribble re
garded as the instigator and per
sistent worker in this matter, that
when he returned from Washing
ton City, the East Athens Bovs
headed by their Brass Band, and
accompanied with manv other
citizens, marched up to Air. Tnb
ble’s residence anil honored him
with a serenade.
Hurt ah for Sam Tribble, who
is alwavs alive to the best interests
ot our people, our citv, and our
whole section and. who will be our
next Solicitor General.—From
Athens Banner six years ago.
The First Ocean Steam¬
ship.
The Georgian is reminded that
on At av 23,1819, just 91 years ago
from last Sunday, there left the
docks at Savannah the first steam
ship to cross the Atlantic ocean,
It was owned by William Scar
borougn, an enterprising mer
chant and planter of large means,
and 111 honor of the port from
which it sailed it was christtened |
the Savannah,
According to the records of the
New York customs house, the
Savannah was a vessel of one
deck, but it boosted-three masts,
was nearly 100 feet in length and
registered 320 tons.
On one of the tiial trips which
the steamer took along the Allan
tic coasts between Savannah and
New York no less distinguished a
personage than President James
Al oriroe was a passenger,
After thorough inspection from
stem to stern and repeated expen
mental junkets, the Savannah was
■; f iust declared to be in readi
ness for the long journey aero
the deep waters.
The object point of the steam
er was Liverpool, In due course
ot time it covered the dlstanci
without serious mishap of anv
sort. Thence it proceeded to Co¬
penhagen and finally it anchored
in the mouth of tfie Neva at St.
-Petersburg,

Everywhere the Savannah wa s
an object curious interest and the
storv goes that some of the spec
talors on one of the Scandinavian
(locks,, seeing the smoke from the
engine stack, thought tho vessel
was on lire and offered to aid the
crew in extinguishing the flames.
Thus twelve years subsequent
to Fulton’s initial experiment
with the Clermont on the Hudson
the Atlantic ocean was success*
fully traversed bv means of steam.
In spite of the ludicrous phases
of the voyage, it marked an event
ful epoch.

tude have assuredly not sprung

great West than from the furrows
plowed by the keel of this pio¬

In both branches of the Georgia legis¬
