The executive oommittce of Mell Baptist association requests all those' who made pledges for mission work, during the present ycur, to make prompt payment. They are needing the money to curry forward the work. A slight change in the schedule of the Brunswick and Western went into effect last Sunday.

No James will return home, after a slidlllj^xperience in real life, re. penting folly and fully de cided that “there la no place like home.” ’ Don’t forget Contractor' Hind when yon have building to do. The democrats of the lower ninth district of Berrien county had a grand rally at Adel last Friday 'eve ning. The Gaxkteb learns there was much enthusiasm; a democratic club was organized numbering about fifty members, but which has since the meeting increased to more thau a hundred. The example of the lower ninth democrats is commcnduble; there should be a thorough organisa tion of the party in every militia district ■■ ■ \ Jim Ilcshon, a bright mulatto boy, seems to be “in the s<5up” in great shape. He was one of a gang of gamblers captured in this city about two wcfks ago; he was curried to Nashville and convicted of gambling. He wus arraigned last Monday for carrying a concealed weapon, con victed and sentenced to pay a fine of >18 or twelve months iu the gong. There is still another warrant hang ing over his sinful head, for ussault with intent to kill. Contractor J. C. Hind has for sale a large supply of first-class lime, shiuglcs and laths. The Georgia Southern and Florida railroad is prepared to handle a large number of excursionists to and from Palutka during Gala Week, April 4t,h to 10th. The week at i’alatka will be enlivened by a grand three days regatta of steam and sailing yachts, rowing mutches, tub races and other amusements. A request lias been made of the railroad com mission for rate of one fare for round trip, and it is generally under stood these rate® will be gruuleiL a superior, barrel, order them from Tho oolored people of Lowndes county have organized the “Lowndes County Fair Association” and pro pose to hold n fair next fall. The funeral services of the late Rev. TV. N. Clements will bo held at Clements’ Chapel, Worth comity, on the fourth Sunday (24th) of April. The Union says the Brunswick and Western railroad is discriminat ing ogaiuBt WareBboro in the matter of putting in the necessary Street crossings. Irwin superior court convened Inst Monday. It was doubtful, then, if Judge Rooerts would try any crimi nal oases at this term us he was feel ing considerably indisposed. The disappearance of young Qunr terinan from Douglas is sUu clothed is mystery, notwithstanding a reward of $1,050 is offered fog, the arrest of his murderers nr kicbtappors. About one Hundred men searched the woods uudl streams lust Sunday for T. A. Quifternmn’s body. Be tween a dozen and seventy-live have searched for him every day since he disappeared.—Douglas Breeze. Colquitt superior court was in session this week. Nothing but civil business was transacted, because of the vacancy iu tho office of Solicitor. General, lienco the grand jury was not cmpunnolled. It is expected that a special session of the court will be called later in the season for the trial of criminal cases. TV. A. Pardee, the third puyfy can didate for Ordinary of /Lowndes comity,‘was ItaYally siufwed under on Wednesday of Hast Week, the ma jority against him hying 484 votes. This democratic rijnjority can nevor be overcome in Ime comity. The Valdosta ‘limes, speaking of the re sult, says: “ft was a protest of town and comity against third partyism, and all tendencies in thul direction.” The Pcoplo’s party has taken root in Oolquitt oomity. A convention was held at Moultrie on the 20th of Muroh and organized tho party iu tho county by adopting the St. Louis (Missouri compromise) platform, electing a county executive commit tee and appointing active workers in each militia district. Among the aotive workers we see the names of some of Colquitt comity’s best citi zens, who will get back into the dem ocratic fold us soon us they discover the “nigger in the woodpile.” which will appear about tiie time of the division of the offices.

RmrIUpk In Macon llnoorolnx Iloiulquur- t«r* for a MnnuuotU Imluatry* Renders of the Gazettk will re member that nbont'a month ago tho lnmliermen of Georgia met in Maoon and arranged the preliminaries for a pofmnnent organization, having for its object tlie promotion and protec tion of tho lumber industry of the state. Last Tuesday another meeting was held in Macon, pursuant to adjourn mentor thu former meeting, in which all the mills in iho state of any con sequence was represented, mid per fected the permanent organization of the Georgia Lumbermen's Associa tion on exactly the same principles of tho Standard Oil Compiinj t This combination of Georgia mill men is one of gigmilio proportions, representing an investment of more than $20,000,000 in one of the great est industries of tlie Btatc. At the iielm are some of the shrewdest uml ablest business men of the state. The business of tho Association will bo conduoted through n lumber men’s exchange or central commis sion house, which wisely lias been located in Macon—the most central of the slate. The machinery of the exchange is a general executive committee com posed of the executive committees (three members each) of local organ izations along the various lines of railroads. The headquarters of the general executive committee will be in Muoon. From the membership of this executive committee will he elcotediv president, six vice-presidents and a secretary. Tho plan proposes to get rid of all middle men or cominiusioii merchants who commissions are invariably paid by the lumber manufacturers, is to have all orders come direct to the secretary, at the bend office, who will distribute them impartially to the different mills mid taking care that ail are kept busy. Each mill agrees to sell lumber at the uniform priceB established by the association, nml thus keeping up a standard prioe. • It does not require the wisdom of it Solomon to see that the days of tlie lumber jobbers business bus sudden ly terminated. Tlie equilibrium betweon the sup ply and demand will lie regulated by a system of mutual shutting down of mills upon thu order of the gener al executive committee when they see necessity requires it. To do this they will consult with the different mill owners, ascertaining from them what amount they will require for a shutdown of ten, twenty or thirty duys. Tlie amount being fixed all other mills in the association will lie assessed by tho executive commit too their pro rata to pay this amount, each mill paying in proportion to size. Thus the supply is out down any amount required, uiui the demand is kept up, causing prices to remain in tact. The lumbermen claim that they huve organized on a solid basis, ami will be ubie to carry out every fea ture of the plun adopted. Tlie central office will require a number of men,- and will ho well equipped in every respect. They Impo to have it to .perfect operation by May 1 ut the laUstv'' Dr. N.
