By request I enclose resolution adopted at our lust meeting; The third or twoplo’s party has many friends in this section, aiul it looks now us though no power on earth caij prevent this county from going almost two to one in favor of that, party. Our alliance will surely adopt tho St, Louis platform.

The above excerpt is from tho Southern Allianoe Farmer. We have no desire to spring a controversy with “Berrien” or any other third party man, they are not instructed that way. We copy the extracts that true domocruts of tho county may bo ap prised of wlmt kind of mi impression third party people would have go out from their county. But, since we have copied the ex tracts, we will take tho further trou ble of correcting a misrepresentation of the Ga/.btth in the last para graph.

Tuesday^ Ueiulors of the G.izkttk will re member that this meeting was to he composed of and attended only by the mem hers of tho looai oxeoutivc committees from the several railroads on whioh they are doing business. These were nearly all there, together with a number of other mill men who are taking a lively iuterest in the matter. Tile meeting was held at tho Brown flonso and was called to order at 10 o'olock a. in. by Capt- S. It. Weston, temporary ohnirmnu. The prompt ness with whioh tho meeting oamo together amt settled down to busiuess indicative that they arc engaged })i a work of organization that means much lor tho great lumber industry of the-state, As heretofore staled in the Ga- zhtte the manufacturers of yellow pine lumber in Georgia intend in fu ture to sell their own produot with out the interposition of middlemen or lumber footers und, at the same time, to regulate the supply to the demand and avoiding, if possible, glut in the market. Tho members are all in harmony with the projeot; The report of the special committee charged with the duty of formulating a plan of organ izntion was rood and unanimously adopted. This report will be printed ami a copy sent to every mauufao- hirer of yellow pine lumber in the state for approval and beneficial sug gestions before the final organization takes place, llowover, it is uot ex peeled any radical amendments, will be suggested as it is conceded that the plan submitted by the committee fully covers the purges of the ex change and will elevate the lumber business from its present depressed oomlitiou, The election for temporary officers for the exchange resulted in the se lection of Capt. IT. IT. Tift, of Tif ton, for president and Mr. M. W I’atillo for secretary. This selection of officers was not unexpected. Capt, Tift 1ms been the foremost agitator of the project; he Iiub had large experience in the lum ber business and the plan of orgaui zation is largely the result of his ex pericncc and superior business judg ment. lie can he truly called the father of the exchange. In his hands the business of the exchange will move smoothly and successfully. These temporary officers will serve until the cxohnnge is put into prac- ation and a permanent -or- ; jpupZaUon cffcoted. Preparations lind been making for several weexs past for the proper ob servance of Easter day at the Meth odist chnroh last,Sunday. A most excellent program hud been arranged for the occasion, the parts assigned and the work of learning them com menced iu earnest under the leader ship of Mr. Joel E. Dean, so that when the day arrived every partici pant was ready to perform their part of the exeroises withont a jar of a hitch. The day was bright-and beautiful; not a cloud cast a shadow upon tho earth; the bracing spring atmosphere was kdened with the perfume of bursting buds and opening flowers; the birds sung their sweetest lays; all animate qnd inanimate nature seemed .attuned to the importance of the oc- onsion—the glad tidings of a risen Savior. Then, why should not the children sing? Why should not every nation kindred and tongue sing the gospql of salvation through the resurreotion of Him “Who was bruised for our offenses, Who was slain for our iniquities?” It was, in deed, a beautiful Easter morn! The oxcroises commenced prompt ly at 10 o’clock a. in., and was en joyed by a largo and appreciative congregation. However, there were some present who were strangers to Easter celebrations and. who hail no idea of the significance of tho occa sion. These were present more from curiosity than otherwise; they lis tened attentively to the entire exer cise and wo have no doubt they were edified and greatly benefited by tho solemn but cheerful service. At the conclusion of the program Rev. P. II. Grumpier, the pastor of the church arose and delivered a most appropriate mid eloquent Easter sermon, taking for his text the propheoy of Malachi, fourth chapter and Bccoud verse, “Buttiuto you that fear my name shall the Son uf right eousness arise with healing in hi* wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up ns calves of the stall.” The sermon was one of the most comfort ing to tho Christian heart than any to whioh wc have listened in a long time. m ' -V: x> 'Am CRAWFORD BONNELL. ifton feels herself honored in _ one of her citizens chosen as the president, even temporarily, of such n mammoth enterprise—fraught with such great- hcilufit to one of Georgia’s most important industries and positive resources of wealth.

KH Mora I'ftcU About tfin Amtt of th« At> loffctl Wfiitlrn County Counterfeit®*** In reporting the matter of the ar rest of Crawford Bonncll upon the charge of making and passing coun terfeit money it will be remembered, that the GaZCTTS took tho position that the prisoner was not guilty of the crime because he was not of sound mind and discretion—conse quently,not capable of committing a crime. After keeping him in jail a few days and seeing unmistakeable signs of returning liberation the officials became uot only convinced of this fact but alarmed at his condition, and under advice of the attending physician admitted him to bail on his own recognizance. He was given some money, put on the train and sent home. A private tetter to the editor from .Tunics M. Bonncll, the prisonci'’* brother, thau whom there is no lucre $5 upright or honorable young man in Berrien county, gives those further faots in regard to the arrest and the evidence upon whioh it was predica- i| ted. He says: “Crawford is now at homo—out on his own bond. There is no evidence against hint whatever ■; but Wheelis’s statement, except that the officers found in hi* house a few ooiu price lists, a few dcllark of ppj| confederate money, a handsaw file - J and a poor apparatus for making counterfeit momy, which they om- gplfj tied to -Maoon as corroborative proof."
