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. Pom \ Mr. J. 0, Holbrook * (Miss Mattie Rampley, 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.

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, Official Organ of Franklin County. 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.
