EDITORIAL NOTES.
We heard it whispered at ’Talbot
court that Solicitor General Grimes
was a pronounced candidate for
congress. He will make a lively
race if he is on the track.
A Newnan correspondent t f of the the
Atlanta Constitution says that ,t is
understood that Hon. Henry K.
Harris will not be a candidate for
re-election. If he submits to the
wishes of his friends we think he will
be.
It is announced that ex Governor
James M. Smith will speak in. 1 al
botton this week upon the railroad
commission law. We suppose he
will oppose any restriction of the
present arbitrary powers of the
mission.
The state of “innocuous desue
tude” of the many petitions for
fice that have fallen into the hands
of President Cleveland, prevents good a
harmless use of the President’s
name when the petitioners discuss
the democratic administration.

The question of building a brick
in place of a wooden building, to re¬
place the college recently burned in
West Point is being discussed among
the prominent citizens. The majori¬

because of its durability.
The board of trustees of the public
school in West Point decided at a
meeting Saturday to continue the
school, and the exercises were resum¬
ed yesterday in the rooms se.ected

'The grand aim in life is to secure
happiness, and yet comparatively few
seek it in the proper channel. 'True
happiness can only be found in the
line of Christian duty. Those who
seek it in worldly piirsuits, with no
higher aim than worldly success, will
find it a false light that recedes as the
pursuer advances, hiring him on anti
on until he is finally stranded, a hope¬
less wreck on the shores of eternity.
The wise seek it where alone it may
be found, at the foot of the cross.
Rev. Joseph Key preached a very
logical and able sermon at the Meth¬
odist church Sunday morning to one
of the fullest houses Hamilton has
seen this winter. His subject was
tithes and his argument was to sus
tain the proposition that thf» r.M Jew.
ish law requiring one-tenth of every
income for the Lord is stiU as bind¬
ing on Christians as it was on the
Jews. He argued that the tenth part
of our income is the Lord’s. To re¬
serve more than nine tenths’is to rob
God. This law, he argued was older
than Moses, as evidenced by the con¬
tribution of Abraham to Melchisadec.
It was reiterated by the law of Moses
and nothing in the New Testament
hinted at its abrogation. Christ,in
his comment on the Pharisees, allud¬
ed to their paying of tithes and said
“This ye ought to have done.” In
conclusion, by way of application, Dr.
Key cited several instances of men
who had set apart one tenth of their
income for the cause of God as re¬
ligiously as they set apart one seventh
of their time, and while from a world¬
ly point this tax upon their means
seemed ernormous, as the tax made
upon our time by the law of the Sab¬
bath, requiring one day in seven,
g ce med exacting, these men had
prospered and were among the most
piosperous men he knew. No man
loses in his business by observing the
Sabbath, giving one seventh of his
time to God, and no man would
suffer from devoting to the cause of
the Lord one-tenth of his income.
There is no question but that the
sermon produced a very powerful
impression on all who heard it
