The time of the year has oome those short of corn must realize the fol ly of planting all cotton. It is a pity that some people’s recollection is short that they forget the resolutions formed at this season to plant enough corn another year. A very young lady being presented with a young dog tee other day named it after the donor, and in a pretty little note of thanks said she “hoped teat ‘Bob’ would live to be as big a dog as his namesake.” One reason why there there i» al ways room at the top is because not one can get there. No matter how high we climb in any profession, we can only get in sight of a desirable location which re cedes as we advance. There was only one case before Re oorder Cleveland yesterday. Alfred Dickenson out a gash in tee am of his sweetheart, on aeoonnt of jealousy. Be was fined $10 and costs, or 40 days on tee streets, and bound over to tee grand jury to answer to the charge of stabbing.

Camp, of Orchard Hill, has sev enty five acres of the finest cotton in Middle Georgia, and is a No. 1 farmer. He raises his meat, syrup, corn and wheat, and is one of those solid plant ere who lives at home and has “peace and plenty." Bps 1 this, he is a staunch friend to uu Sans, and saysbe would not be without it. There is one way in which many of us may assist the poor withont going far into onr pockets. We can get our sap- ply iu winter coal within the next six or eight weeks, while prices are low, and relieve the pressure on the winter mark et, at the same ' ie making quite a sav¬ ing to onrselv, There are cantious people who wait u..Ul September before they buy their coal, but they occasional ly encounter increased prices. The man who buys his coal in the summer is real ly doing, indirectly, an act of chari ty. The Newnan Herald has the following item regarding the reverend gentleman who is to preach at tne Baptist church here to-morrow night: “Rev. E. B. Carswell, Jr., of Elberkm, arrived last Monday and has been rendering vain able assistance to Dr. Hall in conduct ing the revival services at the Baptist church, which are yet in progress. He is a fine preacher and has worked an tiringly for tho success of the meeting since his arrival. Then haye been numerous accessions to the church this week, and the altar is crowded nightly with penitents. On Sunday next Judge T. O. Carleton will be ordained to tee ministry, and as this solemn and impres sive cermony has been seldom witnessed in Newnan the morniDg services will be of unusual interest not only to the local membership, but to church goers gener ally.” Hood’s Sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself aud superior to all other preparations in strength, economy, and medicinal merit. (2 THE PENNY SCHEME. How the New Order of the Georgia Rail road Commission Works, The Nkws published the introdac tion of the exact cent fare on the rail roads which went into effect on Jane 1st. Agent Reid say the people aie ra pidiy becoming accustomed to it, bat there are still a number of persons who disdain to receive the copper cents in return, and shove them back at the agents. They will get over this foolish practice after awhile. This recent order of the Georgia railroad commission in regard to the ase of pennies is generally regarded as a good thing. The que^ion has been asked- “Sap pose the ticket agent nor the passen ger can make the exact change when the fair is odd, will the passenger have to pay the conductor 4c. per mile?’ 4 Our understanding of the order, in sach an event is, that the agents can only celled the next lowest amount ending in 0 or 5. For illnatration: If the fare to a given point is 96c, and the exact cent chaDge cannot be made, tbe agent can only collect 95c. If it is 94c to a plaoe, and tbe ebange cannot be made, then the agent can collect hat 90c. It is expected that this order of exact fare in mileage will be issned by the other commissions in the Sontnern States, and also be the means of brioging tbe penny into general use in tbe South.

Wise Bev ill's sermon delivered on Sunday evening was; “Has tbe cbnrch a right to deal with the members for dancing!’ In answer to this question, he re ferred to the following Scriptures: Second Thee. 3.6 14, Romans, 16.17, Cor. 5,11.13. ' WALKING DISORDERLY. From these passages, the question is settled, beyond dispute, that the church has a right to withdraw from those who walk disorderly-, but, whether dancing comes under tbe head of disorderly walking, is an open question, and depends altogetb er upon tbe circumstances sorronnd ing it Paul, in his first epistle to the Corinthians, denominates the follow ing elass of persons as walking dis orderly, and recommends that tbe Chnrch withdraw from them: forni cators, covetous men, idolaters, rail ere, drunkards and extortioners, The abase, and not the dbo of things harmless in themselves, is condemned by tbe Scriptures. Healtbfni recreation is as indispen sable to well being as is food an£ raiment. Instead of giving ap sources of healtbfni recreation to the devil, drive the devil out of them and nse them for good. Dancing is as old as the exodas of the children of Israel, and when Miriam, tbe sister of Moses, took a timbrel in her band and al) tbe women went oat after her with tim brels and with dances, they were not condemned. Ex 15 30, But, when the children of Israel turned aside from the trae God, and worshipped the golden calf, with shouts and with dancings, then their dancing became sin. Ex. 32-.20. When David danced before the Lord with all his might, he was merely giving ex pression to his joy and thanksgiving, and he cerrainly committed no sin. Mere dancing coaid not have been looked on as sin in the days of the Judges of Israel. Read Judges, 21.27.53. But, when that wicked daughter of Hsrodias danced before Herod and his coart, with a diabolical pur pose in view, and after she bad com pletely captivated Herod, demanded the bead of John the Baptist, that kind of dancing was forever branded as tbe most beioous, and every oiv ilized woman, irom that day to this, has blushed to think of public dancing. Dancing where the high and the low, the vnlgar and the re fined mingle promiscuously, will, in variably, end in misfortune. Many unhappy marriages are the result of these ball room associations, and miserable lives are dragged out in consequence. Members of tbe cbnrcb, who desire to engage in that kind of dancing, ought to withdraw from tbe church, and not bring such a repraoch upon it But parlor dancing in select parties, is a matter of expediency, and not of law. The Confirmation. A large audience attended the preaching and confirmation at St* George’s church on Sunday morning. Bishop Beckwith preached a power fnl sermon on the passage where Fe lix, tbe Roman govornor, trembled before Paul; and tbe effect of bis ar gnment and oratory were seen on more than one of bis andieDce whom he impressed with tbe danger of de lay in joining the believers in Christ After tbe sermon confirmation was administered in tbe Bishop’s usual impressive way to the following elass: Mrs. H. C. Watt and Master flow ard Watf, Mrs. H. H. Jones and Miss Jones, Mrs. W. M. Thomas, MiBses Bessie Mills, Mamie Hunt, M. Beecher and Bessie Sims. Hints From Holtenrllle.
