THE LARGEST STRICTLY —nmAnr IOC. STORE titu i u ih the world. 9 NT HING OVER 10 CTS. JOSEPH L.DENNIS, PROPRIETOR. EDITORIAL NOTES. H. M. McTyiere, the senior Bish¬ op of the Southern Methodist church died in Nashville on the 15 th inst. He was renowned as an editor and religious historian, and was one of the most prominent churchmen of the Methodist church. After a long and well spent life, he died in great peace, and the church has lq^st one of her most scholarly and eloquent bishops. Crime seeins to be on the increase, and the manner in w licli all the hor¬ rible details are emblazoned in the leading newspapers of the day, gives it a fascination to perverted miuds that makes it hard to resist. Cleveland is now winding up his business as chief executive prepara¬ tory to retiring to New York, where he will engage in the practice of law. In his four years administration he has shown unparalleled devotion to public duty, and to the best interest of the people. Thf? Columbus Enquirer should ba sustained by the good people of Co¬ lumbus in its war upon gambling. The fair city of the Chattahoochee is'not gaining anything by her reputa¬ tion as a home for gamblers. Judge Smith has nerve enough to check this evil and with the help of the able Enquirer and the good people of the city we believe he will do it. The south has no defence for the Clayton murder. She had nothing to do with it and the man who did the bloody deed is more an enemy to her than he is to humanity in general. But the fact that Clayton was a pol¬ itician does not prove his political murder. Congress ought by all means to re duce revenues of the govornment to stop the growing surplus in the treas ury. Preferably the reduction should be in the tax on the necessities of life, as proposed by the Mills bill. But it is better to cancel the tax on tobacco, than not to reduce the revenue at all. The thing to do now is to stop the ac¬ cumulation of the people’s money in the national treasury. The theories of taxation can he settled at our lei sure. The negroes of the south have made great progress since they were freed. It is true that a larger num¬ ber are in the penitentiaries of the several states than at any previous time, but this is to be attributed to a stricter enforcement of the laws, rath¬ er than to any increase of crime among them. It is said that a ma¬ jority of the convicts are young ne¬ groes raised since the war and taught in the public schools. It by no means follows that this is so because the race is not advancing in morality. There is not that affection between the young negroes and the whites that there is between the ex-slaves and their for mer masters and as the laws are gen¬ erally administered by whites, it is easier to convict a young negro than an old one. Much more property is owne( j y,y negroes than ever be fore and they are mnch more largly represented in the public schools than ever before. Many are earnestly striving to better their condition and we are glad to note the improvement Their general condition is very low, but not near so low a . it has been, candid observers must admit. If the people who own farm lands in this state realized the depressing in fluence of what is called the tace prob lem upon the prices of their lands, they would encourage & the black to r .

OF A One of the crying sins of the age »r„r oL ffsrJiJKS ly troubles with which men have to contend is that they must have deal ings with parties whose disregard for the sacredness of their word, makes them absolutely unreliable. The fad ure of one man to meet his obliga tion leads those who depend on him to fail also in meeting their ob iga tion, and this failure induces ot ers in a never ending circle. Among t e vast multidude of promise- rea ers a ^ ew are merely care ess an una en t ' ve They ma e promises rea yin tending -. the tira. to ee f’ at ■ but something else slips in and .he P rorT1 ' se sll P s no ex cuss for a man of this class, Thev l ney n( , w be ddt h The, have no right to be careless and would not be if they felt the obligation, the sacredness of 6 Many things be , h( , £ lse ma, for(y Uen and the omission atoned ° who is habitually car for but a man crim c - les s about keeping his word is as i na | as though Ihe had deceived inten t j ona tiy t he people who relie I on him.

Better have dealings with the hard close man who holds his word sacred andwho when he says “I will,” means it an 1 does n athing less.

Died at Talbotton, Ga. Dec. 24th 1888, Alfred W. Patrick, husband of Mrs. Mary E. Patrick, and tat her of Mrs. S. T. Martin and Mis. G. L. Mitchell, age 60 years and 3 months Death is always sad come when it will, but when it levels its unerring darts at a shining mark and cut down a near and dear cne, especially is it deplored. Amidst privation and suffering, he was cheeiful, patient, and truthful to the end. Dying so suddenly he left no parting words but his daily walk and conversation were enough toconvince us of his abun lant entrance into that bright and beauti¬ ful beyond. Our mother has lost a noble husband, and we have lost a kind and affectionate father. But the silver cord is loosed, die golden bowl is broken, and tie mortal re mains of our dear father rest beneath the sod, while his spirit has returned to God who gave it. We should not rnurmer; it was God who plucked the flower and transplanted it in his bless ed garden. It will flourish there and never fade. He has left us, no more shall we see his bright face, no more shall we hear his happy laugh. He has gone from us to be with us no more in this life. He cannot come back to us but we can go to him. “Oh! how sweet it will be in that beautiful land, So free from sorrow and pain. With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands.
