NeW ltrllglotu • Orfnnlintlon—Warniiijf Afnliiat the New Party—'The Meeting at New Itlver—Slid Death, Etc. 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 Borne secret place, so we am informed perfected miorguilizution and elected delegates to the several conventions —presidential, gubernatorial and congressional. not be expected to get all the facts about everything in Tifton during his short stay in the city. 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.

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. A Sad Dentil. From Air. Williams, partner of Rev. 15. W. Huckabecof Sparks, who was in Tifton last Saturday night en route home from a visit to Albany, we secured the following facts rela tive to the sad death on (Monday of last week of Jordan Dupree whose father, Mr. G.

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.
