Forty strong! That is the size of
the third party in Berrien county, if
lust Saturday’s mass meeting is a fair
criterion. Tiie sturdy farmers of
Berrien county are waMliin/for the
political “cat in the /mdal tub” to
jump out, and they uriHiot going to
be disappointed in seeing the per
formance. lie is there and is bound
to como onf. Saturday’s mass meet
ing listened to a Btraight democratic
speech from Solicitor-General Griggs,
of the Puutanla circuit, during which
we are informed not the slightest
reference was made to the candidacy
of Mr. O. B. Stevens. If any Stevens
talk wusindulged in it was in private.
Although his effort, was an eloquent
one it was not “cheered to the echo.”
Tiie people lie was talking to were
joined to the third, party idol, and
his speecli was like “throwing pearls
to swine,” it was scarcely heard or
noticed. After the speaking the
third partyites betook themselves to

lie writes of the Tifton Baptist
church and the pastor as follows:
‘The Baptist church at Tifton is
ubout completed. Something over a
year ago Dr. G. M. Irwin stopped at
Tifton. He saw no church. ' He
began to talk charc. The idea spread.
The ladies offered their services—
and the church is most elegant. It
is a heunty. Dr. Irwin’s first pastor
ate was in Madison, Ga. He is now
7D years of age. His fife inis been
spent in the Muster’s cause. Old and
feeble lie will resign the care of tire
church. And there was a melan
choly tenderness in his voice when
lie remarked to me, pointing to the
pretty clinch: ‘This is my last pas
torate.’ ”
The special attention of our read
era are called to the business card in
this issue of Messrs. Hobbs & Fuck
er, bankers, of Albany, Ga. This
is one of the most deservedly popu
lar hanking houses in this section oj
country; they do a general bankin;
business uud every customer is enn

This house is the state depository for
the counties of Dougherty, Worth

The Union Meeting.
The editor regrets'exceedingly that
lie was forced to forego the pleasure
of being present with the union meet
ing of Moll association held at New
River church last Friday and Satur
day. We learn that t he exercises on
those two days were both pleasing
and instructive, and those who did
attend were abundantly repaid for
their sacrifice of time and trouble.
The discussions were entered into
with zeal and energy, and much in
formation was gained relative to -Mis
sionary Baptist faith and practice.
The venerable Dr. 0. M. Irwin, pas
tor of the Tifton church, was pres
ent and tiie brethren express them
selves grateful for his wise counsel
gained from many years’ experience
and study which ho so freely gave
them when called on. His presence
was greatly appreciated.
Sunday morning promptly at 10
(’clock, the exercises of the Sunday-
school mass meeting were commenced
with “ye editor” as leader. The
107th Psalm wus-read, a hymn was
(ling and prayer by Elder John A.
'ox. Then the mass meeting, with
he leader, commenced a blackboard
study of tiie rainbow—the bow of
iironiise—and brought out. many val
uable moral and religious lessons
vlncli were indelibly impressed upon
be mind of those who took an in
terest in it; these say it was an hour
•veil spent in the study of the scrip-
f u res.
The union meeting was brought
to a close by a sermon at 11 o’clock
by Elder John A. Cox, during which
he endeavored to impress the truth
that God demands of us our first and
best service.

Thoie was a third party rally at
’oulan last Wednesday. About one
hundred voters were present-, of
which forty per cent, were straight-
out democrats. Dr. Robins, the third
party apostle from Greene county,
did not put in an appearance and the
crowd had to lie content with a si
mon-pure democratic speech from
Hon. Jesse W. Walters, of Albany.
He told the people some wholesome
truths, but they seemed to fallen
unappreciative cars. 11 is the sheer
est folly and waste of time to talk
politics to a man who lias made up
his mind to join the third party rab
ble; his heels are Rolling to run for
some office, lie doesn’t- care particu
larly wluit-sort of an office, and when
yon commence talking to him lie at
once Imagines you arc trying to up
set his office-seeker’s cart. Again,
the absence of Dr. Robbins ut Poulan
is very suggestive. He either feared
to meet, the advocates of de.mocracy
and changed his apuointments to
avoid them or como here to do the
dirty work of a political demagogue
in the deep of night within closed
and barred doors. Third partyites
are joined to tbeii idols, let them go!
