CRAWFORDVILLE, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER L> 7 . 1 S 95 . Atlanta will enjoy the exposition, and Macon the horse races. iVe’t"sum¬ mer lasts too loti" to be comfortable. Between the hot wave and the gold standard this country is about to collapse. The weather prognosticators pre¬ dicted a cold waveioi ibis section on j Wednesday, but up to ibis writing lhe weather remains intensely hot. The Sandy Cross Methodist church was dedicated last Sunday by Itev. F \y. McCleskv. On account of the great | blessing God had so iccently bestowed Gm j that church ii was named"Bethel’’. 1 The Georgia Railroad is offering ] cheap rales to the Exposition. Consult their agent at this place, for terms il you contemplate a visit to the Exposi¬ tion. This lias ht en a year of bounty in food products. Fit si in order was the berry crop, then plums, peaches and melons came on in cjuiek succession. The Supreme Being tights for us,surely we should be encouraged to light for ourselves. Pickpockets and sneak thieves are getting in their work with a vim in Atlanta, and people are being robbed Oil t* very side. If any of our {leople contemplate,a visit to Atlanta during the exposition, beware of conlidenee men, they will roo you before you know it. Turpentine is said to he a sure cure for a bite of a snake. It should be put in a bottle, and the mouth being placed over ibe spot, the liquid brought direct¬ ly in contact with the wound by invert¬ ing the bottle, which should be held there until relief is obtained. A com¬ plete alleviation of pain has been known t 0 ensue in less than a quarter of an hour. An important discovery. The registrars of this county have ignored all former registration lists, apd when they find that a man has ‘oiiee been a defaulter they arraign him before their body, and if he does not siiovv his tax receipt he is struck from the voters list. I11 this way they are dis¬ franchising lots of men, who are hou eiftly entitled to vote. Our tax collec¬ tor in 1802 registered only those who had [mid up all of their back taxes, and it dont look right now to say they shall not vote. —♦- • ♦ Jenning’s Chapel. WATCHMAN.

This is an ago of shams, cheats, selfishness, pride, plcas tire, licentiousness, waste, bigotry and inhumanity. Nothing better describes it than a quotation from the .‘It'd chapter of '2nd Timothy: ‘•And this know also, that ill the last days pci ilous limes .shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves. ,mud ’ hhwi'hemcrs, disohe (1iunL to l mrcn4s ’ !,nlh:mklu ’' unholy, without natural attention, truce break ets, false accusers, incontinent, tierce, of those that are good, traitors, heady, highnuuded. lovers of more than lovers of God. lowing a form of godliness Ini' denying power thereof. From such turn away.” Look around you and answer me {.Pphc questions Are the limes peiil ous? Are the nations perplexed and angry? Do men's hearts fail them for , 1 'eai ? Are men lovers of their own selves? Are they selfish ? Don’t they Jove to quote, more than ever, “Cliui i •y begins at home”? Do they pray: "Lord bless me and my wife, my son Jolin and bis wife, us four and no more”? Do they covet that which Belongs to tlie.ir neighbor, and devise all manner of schemes to client, him out of it? Do they boast of themselves and of their own achievements? Are they proud'?, Do they blaspheme? Do ■Ifildren disobey their parents? inn unthankful to the Giver of all good? Are they unholy? Are they without natural affection ? How about the boy who killed his mother and re¬ mained for several days in the house ^ the Uer decaylll who, g corpse few ? days liow about in woman, a ago, the great city of Chicago, sent her uglier to jail for debt? How about, brutal fathers and brutal mothers, of wthptu we so often read ? Are men truce breakers? How about, the broken promises of politicians— \ .oV'” (wokei* promises ? 1><» u.en accuse one another falsely ? U hat about political campaigns? If any slander is left unsaid in political cam¬ paigning, it is surely something the devil has forgotten. Are men inconti¬ nent? The divorce records of lhe country will answer this. Are men fierce ? Are not murders of daily oc currcncc ? Will not men shoot one an other down for t,lie most trivial offence? Are the good despised . ? Well, you now J just undertake to be good and you will iind out. Aie there any traitors ? 1 .0 ask L011 Livingston about this, and he sure to comfort him with the assurance. that lie is not the only one. Do men love pleasures more than they love Rod? Go ask these church members who, instead of going to church go off on Sunday excursions. There is a form of godliness. To be a church member is a very popular thing, and consequently church mem¬ bers arc as thick ns Garter’s oats. There was nevi r so much profession as now, and t here was never so much hollowness and hypocrisy. Rottenness answers to hypocrisy, and follows in quick succession; crime treads on tire heels of crime, while jus¬ tice is sleeping soundly. The whole head is faint and the whole heart is siek. Righteousness ceases to materi¬ alize, while wickedness defies God with a high hand and an outstretched arm. There is the form of godliness assumed by hypocrites of the pew, and paraded by the cormorants who have usurped the functions of the pulpit. But for the .Spirit’s power, alas ! it is not. skeleton , , , ... there, . out . ,1 the flesh ,, 1 , has all „ is wasted awav. Church members have name to . live, but . the 1 majority . ol r a them are deader than a door nail. The best of them are but lukewarm, while the ‘ great *» majority J - are colder than ice. The preachers are to blame. They are to blame for the deadness of the Church. 'J'hey are to blame for indi¬ vidual corruption. They are to blame for national decay. “Like priests, like people.” The preachers are the leaders and mould¬ ers of all moral forces; hence they be¬ come a savor of life unto life or a savoi of death unto death. The preachers, the most of them best painted Jewsbcls and whited sepulchres. I have got ns much faith in the honesty of any one of Baal’s four hundred prophe ts a- 1 have in any preacher who sides with (ho rich against the poor. Well did Mr. Passmore say: ‘'Just as the preachers stood for the divine rights of kings in the days of and for the kings and nobility in the days {receding the French rcvoin non, and upheld the slave-holder in the anti elders,' slavery struggle; so bishops, editm-, college pro fessm-s ami the pastors of our great churches are stunning by tb.e neb -01.: supporting them in outraging the ihirrali ! for Mr. Passmore, I in- would pass a little more of this same kind of chut. 1 think it is mu h needed.

Then he disputes it, and ehaiges it ip to the poor, ragged inrun r’s sui ivme igno¬ rance and selfish nature. This plutocratic elder affirms that every relorm politician will die and go to hdl, and in a few minutes the devil will luive them saddled and he astride their backs.
