Mrs. A:—“Will you kindly tell me where I can get a
hat or spring dress ? I have sent to the city for samples,
and I don’t find anything that exactly suits me.”
» “Well, have von tried in Tifton, at the store of Pad.
rick Bros? You know they liaye a most elegant line of’
Spring Dress Goods, Millinery, and, in fact, anything
you oan possibly need. We never think of sending any
further than Tifton for our goods, and all tho ladies in
town say that our hats and dresses are very stylish, as
much so ns Mrs. C’s, who sends to the city for hers, and
vo get ours for about one half the cost of Mrs. C’e; and,
too, the difference in the express saves us some on them.
I think if you once try Padrick Bros. you will agree with
me that they have as nice line as any store in the cities,
and they aro very prompt in filling mail orders.
“I went down on the 26th to the grand spring opening
of Dress Goods and Millinery, which was the first thing of
the kind in the history of Tifton. Their line of goods was
elegant. Notwithstanding the fact that some of their
goods did not get in early enough, tho display was suffi
cient to convince the most skeptical that Padrick Bros,
know how to eater to the public, and are always on tho
lookout for anything that is of interest to their customers.
“I bought some ribbon from a firm in not long
since, and while at Padrick Bros., just to see tho differ
ence in prices, I asked tho clerk the worth of the ribbon
and to my great surprise, I found that the same ribbon
jcipnld lie bought at Padrick Bros, for almost half tho
amount I gave for it elsewhere;”
“Well, Mrs. B.; I am perfectly delighted to know that
I can get the goods so much nearer homo, and you say,
too, that Padrick Bros, will pay my railroad faro if I
bay a certain amount of goods? That gives us the same
advantage as those Jiving right in Tilton.”
“When you begin to trade with Padrick Bros., they
always notify you as to special bargain days. By the
way, this is a new feature with the merchants of Tifton,
of which Padrick Bros, are originators, yotf know. They
always take the lead in evetything. I noticed on my
last visit to Tifton that the packages are wrapped in
green, and not in rod, as heretofore.
“By the way, I have just received a circular from Pad
rick Bros, notifying me of their next bargain days on
the 12th and IStb, the greatest bargains that have over
before been offered to the pubfic.”
“Well, Mrs. B.,T am very grateful for the information.
I shall take your advice, and visit Padrick Brothers at an
early day. Good morning.” •

, Saturday Night.
There is no perloa of the wock more
suggestive of solemn thoughts than Sat
urday night, being tho closing period
lien tired nature is preparing to find
repose in the sweet Sabbath of re,st.
The laborer, with either brain or
brawn, can cast a retrospective glance
and ask himself the question; If lie has
been honorable in alibis dealings with
his fellows during the week? Has he
been faithful to himself, his family and
his employer? Has he done his employer
full six day’s work? If so, he has a
clearVonscience and is ptepared to enjoy
the Sabbath as God purposed tie should;
and, how sweet will he his Sabbath of
rest! “Six days shall thou labor and do
all thy work, hut the soveuth is tho Sab
bath of the Lord.”
Parents can reflect if they have done
their duty to their household; have they
performed tlioir duty to their children,
aiding them by precept and example to
honor their God who,made them for Ids
glory? Have they assisted them during
the week, by good advice and by teach
them lessons of honesty, truth and
frugality, to grow up to become good
itizens, sources of joy to themselves and
ornaments to society? Are they prepay-
them, by tho example of a godly
walk and conversation, to so live that
when they reach the Saturday night of
life they can look hack over lives well
spent, and enabled to say that the world
as been better otf for their having lived
in-it? Parents, in the liutry of the six
lays of toil don’t forget your duty to
our children, to train them up in the
way they should go in order to honor
God, honor you, and honor themselves.
Children can sit down and ask tliem-
elves if they have, by lives of industry
and obedience, helped to smooth out the
rough places in their parents’ experiences?
If they have been aminhlo and kindly
dispoaod to playmates and pets? If they
have done all necessary things to honor
God. their parents, their teachers, and to
gain the respect of ,,11 their associates?
Children, obey your parents during the
week days that y, u may fool peaceful
and happy when the Sabbath of rest
shall come.
Young ladies, young gentlemen, in the
quiet of Saturday night sit down and
think over your conduct the past week
and see if you have been guilty of any
thing of which you should feel ashamed,
acts unbecoming of your stations in life
as young ladies and young gentlemen?
If you linvc, repent of your sin before
the Sabbath shall bo ushered In, that you
may be blameless before God and man
and prepared (0 enjoy the blessed rest
lie lias instituted for ull His creatures.
Parents, children, young ladles and
young gentlemen, hnve your lives been
stumbling blocks in the way of anybody
during tho week? If you have, repent
and ask their forgiveness 011 Saturday
night. Let no Sunday And you uufrir-
given I Plead for forgiveness wltii the
same fervor you would ou 'the eve of
the eternal Sabbat li of rest.

The Sinner's Forgiveness.
A sinner lay dying, yes dying alone;
His eyes growing dim and life almost gone,
“O God have mercy,” was the agonized cry,
“Forgive me, O save, me, for now I must die.
“O Lord, thou knowest of my worthless past,
How wicked I was, hut life cannot last;
O Savior look down on a sinner lllte me,
Whoso iast hope, O I/ml, all rests upon thee.
“O blessed Savior hear my prayer,
I know tho end is drawing near,
Yes very near, and now I know
That 1 am saved and now will go.”
The Rnvlor heard the sinner's cry
As it wafted above him on high,
And then Hie sinner fell asleep.
For the Savior came to claim the lost sheep.

Fruit Culture as Soon by a 'Woman.
I am asked to write an article on Fruit

Gazette.
As an old divine once said about re
ligion, “Tlie well is deep and I have
nothing to draw with.” If l should Just

more than one could reasonably expect.
It is said that a day or two after Chica
go was burned a farmer who had not.

merchant asking: “What can you do
for me with 100 bushels of potatoes?"
The merchant quickly answered: “Eat

In the very air—that for large, firm,
luscious, red cheeked, blushing rose and
yellow poaches, the world has no other
place to equal "Tidy Tifton."
When all the. “Homes of tlie Poach"
and “Peach Paradise" are to be mentioned
Tifton must not he left behind: Fort
Valley and Marshallville claim to raise
peaches that "will bring a dying tnsn
hack to life.” Perhaps so, when they hare

Tho Tifton Methodist Ohuroh.
The above church was organized in
small house used for school purposes, by
Rev. J. J. F. Goodman, In October, 1882.
There were but five names on the roll for
more than a year from Hie organization,
nmi Mr. Joint 11. Greene was tho only
male member, serving for several years
as Clerk, Steward, and all tlie other of
ficers, from pastor down.
Hov. Armstead was first rent to serve
the church by the South Georgia Con
ference, and did a grand work during his
ministry, laying tho foundation for the
ltandsome structure that wus to spring
from such an humble source. The field
at that time was by no means an inviting
one for the workers in tliu Master’s vine
yard, and lltuy met with many hardships
and discouragements.
Tho ltev. Mr. At instead was succeeded
by Revs. IV. T. Babcock and W. T. Stal
lings, eaelt in turn doing hard and zeal
ous work, and adding a few names to the
church roll, until in 1883, a handsome
t wo-story building was erected and used
as a church anil masonic hall, thu upper
story being used for the latter purpose
and the lower story us a house of wor
ship by all denominations.
in 1H80 Rev G. P. Parker, a young
man of untiring zeal aud tin cntliusiastto
worker itt tlie cause, was sent upon tlie
work, and it was late in October of that
year, at a series of meetings In which lie
was assisted by Revs. E. \i. Whiting, J.
J. F. Goodman und others, that tlie first
great revival was held, and fifteen names
added to tlie church roll, which numbered
20 at the close of tlie year.
Tlie Tifton nr.,1 Alnpaha churches were
then merged Into a station and lie was
succeeded by Rev. J. 51. Foster, and for
two years tlie meetings held in the Tifton
church were a continued scries of rcvlv
ids, until ut thu end of his two year’s
ministry tlie roll had Increased to 72,
nearly nil tlie members being admitted
through tlie profession of faith.
In 1881) lie, in turn, was succeeded by
Rev. J. G. Ahern, anil in that year the
church building, which bad liccn hand-
sornciy fitted up and furnished, was de
stroyed by fire, undoubtedly originated
byjan Incendiary.
On the following year the church was
rebuilt, at a cost of $2,500, which build
ing Is still used, although improved and
refurnished from time to time. Tlie new
building was dedicated with appropriate
and Impressive ceremonies by Hov. Win.
C. Lovett soon after its completion.
Rev. L, A. Snow came Into the pastor
ate of tho church in 1890, and was suc
ceeded in turn by P. II. Grumpier, who
served for two years, anil was succeeded
by the present pastor. Rev. W. F. lllxon,
under whose charge it has continued its
steady growth and prosperity.
In ail, the chureli roll 1ms contained
over 200 names, 193 being recorded pre
vious to (lie recent revision. Dismissals
by death, letter or otherwise make the
present roll of bona-fide members, revised
up to a reeen^date, contain 121 names.
From its first organization, the growth
of the church lias been rapid, steady and
strong. Not only has It cared for Itself,
but lias sent workers out into tlie mis
sionary field, and into neighboring conn
tits. Some of the conversions nnd ex
periences manifested have been of the
grandest and most touching character,
