Ala., last Sunday in which engineer Gugel, lost his life, also wood passer Thomas. The en¬ gine was a complete wreck. The accident was caused by a cow sud¬ denly appearing on the track, ail efforts to stop the train or to get thy row off the track were in vain. No one else was hurt. Our Brother from St. Louis, in¬ formed us that the Jalx>rers strike on the Gould system of railroads had thousands of ears wedged in, in St. Louis, a great many of them loaded with live stock. The strike when he left, he said had been on hand two weeks and was costing thousands of dollars in the way of delays of freight. Every effort to put new hands on the trains and re¬ sume operation was promptly met and thwarted by the strikers. The cause was low wages. Hoi lier. What a volume of meaning. There is perhaps no other term applied to human beings that carries with it a greater volume of sacred meaning, The current is broad, is wide, is high, is deep. Attempt to comprehend the word andyou are lost In raptures akin to the purity of Heaven. There is the least selfishness linked with the meaning of that word than any other, save the Holy Trinity, It brings Heaven and earth together in the person of a savior. Nothing else ever did. Think, that the great Redeemer of our fallen sinful race, chose to have a mother. Mo you may see to say mother is to say something that is heavenly. We think there is something Heav¬ enly in the name. So full of every¬ thing that is lost in a world of love, unselfish unsparing love. If we were called on to-day to attempt to ex¬ plain fully any subject we might elect, we certainly would leave the above headingout,young man,young Jad.v, is your mother still living? Be kind to her now. Remember was the first to press your once In¬ nocent lips with a mother’s loving kiss. Remember how often she has sang her once sweet babe to sleep, how often she has joined in your in¬ nocent glee and dandled you upon Jier knees and lavished a thousand kisses upon your baby lips. How often she has watched you in your baby sleep and would smile to see her sweet little darling smile in its sleep and if her babe waked in fright, how lovingly she would fold her dear little treasure to her heart and call it all the sweet names in the world. 2\.ml when her little darling was sick, at midday or midnight in midsummer or midwinter it was never too cold or too hot for her to sit by your cradle and watch the little sufferer and no doubt when all else was wrapt in sweet repose she was try¬ ing to relieve her suffering child, and when momentary relief came she fell upon her knees and begged God for you and angels doubtless wept at the touching scene. She has loved you to man and womanhood, she has loved as no other mortal can. She was young and strong {hen—a perfect picture of health. Now she is feeble, her footsteps weak, scan closely now, her care¬ worn check and ask yourself, if I am lightening her burdens, am I mak- ing her last days her best days. What am I doing to smooth her path¬ way to the tomb. If your mother still lives, gladden her heart all you can, she will soon be gone. Think how often she has prayed for you and that her all is absorbed in your temporal andspir- itual good. Save her all the steps you can for when she was young and strong she loved and cared for you, now that she is growing old, feeble and gray take her place, jo”*soon she will then be taken think away from you anil can tiiat you were kind to your mother, 1‘Jic kind to tliv mutU«r tor low on her brow, May trace?of sorrow lift scon, (.), well mayst thou cherish and comfort her now, For loving imd kind has she twen. Hi kii.il to thy mother for (bee will she 1 'ray, As long as God cj voili hpr breath, With accents of k ’ u 'ness then cheer her her lone way, J!'in to the di rk of death." ( Mr. Editor: —SdiU'.v county you know is a dry county. No whisky is sold ami consequently our criini- mil docket is quite small, we hut little use for a jail. Ellaville about 2<> or 'to miles above what ls known as the chill and fever region, and below the red hills of middle Georgia, and beyond doubt compare favorably with any ty in health. Our winters with few MCe|, “ on * “ re mUd R " d P le,sant waft . r i8 good ftnd found and In adundance, two large creeks run ,hron « h our count >' u » ,OM which might be built cotton factories, but these creeks are too remote from transportion. We have an abun- dunt supply of timber and with dean , power ftt no distant day we inay reasonftbly expect to hear buzz of thousands of spindles and instead of paying freight, drayage, warehouse charges commissions other expenses on our cotton for hundreds and thousands of miles and then pay expenses on manufac¬ tured goods, we can have them manufactured at our own doors and send our goods out to market. Where is capital to do this, I answer it can be had. We have a most in¬ viting climate. Our factories could be operated with as little and we believe less expense than those at the north. By judicious application of home made fertilizers, we can soon see our way out of debt and invest our money in home industri¬ es. Remember that we do not now have to make more cotton to buy more negroes; they are here in our midst, and will work for reasonable wages. They have churches schools and need encouragement. They have their faults, but we must make the best of them and by per¬ suing the proper course with them we can in a short time vote them democratic. Some them own stock in onr railroad. Prof. Stevens is at the head of our high school, aided Mrs. Stevens, he lias 80 pupils. Mrs. Gaines a gradu- ate of the Wesleyan Female College has charge of the music department, May we not look for a grand devel- opment of intellectual training un- der their guidance. May God’s blessing upon you Mr. Editor and your readers adieu, Chakity. Orsi I li of l)r. Wilkes. Dr. W. C. Wilkes, for a number of years president of Monroe Female College, died suddenly in Gaines¬ ville Thursday. Long a resident of our town he had the love, esteem and respect of all our people. Dr. Wilkes was well known to the peo¬ ple of Georgia and has for many years took a prominent stand among the educators of the south. His la¬ bors in life were such as tended to the promotion of the general good and the results thereof will continue to be seen and felt in years to come. His bereaved ones have the heart- sympathy of this entire community. —Monroe Advertiser. •if? In Hart county English pea* are several inches high.

The Macon and Quitman railroad is the absorbing topic of conversa¬ tion in and around Brooks county. That county, says the Quitman Free Press, will subscribe $50,000 hnvurd it, On Sunday the 14th, of February, at Pateville, Dooly county, Mr. Elijah Pate, a substantial and pros¬ perous farmer, aged 74 years, mar¬ ried Miss-Bailey, a maiden of 17 summers. £Tho Brunswick Breeze says: Joe Golden, colored, came in on the morning train Friday from Sterling station to have a doctor sew him to- gether. Early in the morning he got into a difficulty at that place with a w hite man, when the white man carved him w ide open, leaving intestines exposed. v.

It contains more prisoners than ever was known to have been housed up in it since It was built. There are 126 ; prisoners, of whom llfteen are cn, five of them white. There are sixty white men in the prison, ty-slx of them moon-shiners, A gentleman said at a recent meet- ing! A friend of mine, who is a large I »hip owner, lost one of his ships at sea. I went to sympathize with him, aM th<l lo ^ amounted to $40,000.

The daughter of a man named Turner was to have been married to a young man. A large crowd was at the house. The mag- ceremony' istrate was present to perform the As the prospective groom entered the bride’s mother attacked him with a whip in the parlor in the presence of the assem- bled guests and whipped him severely. The young man escaped from the room only to fall into the clutches of the girl’s father, who beat him terribly. Finally the liu- fortunate fellow escaped to the woods. The matter creates a great sensation. An old brass cannon was unefirth- e(i Monday near AxtelI) Texa . to- gl , t her with severa , sabre8 and some muskets with Hint locks. One of the sabres was handsomely silver mounted. The relics were found un¬ derneath a dense thicket and were badly eaten by rust. Long before Texas became a republic, a party of Lousiana adventurers, headed by Phillip Nolan ai d Ellis P. Bean, were attacked by a body of Mexi¬ can troops near Axtell. Nearly all of them were killed. Those who were taken alive were taken to Mexico, where they were made to throw dice which of them would be shot. The fight above mentioned is the only battle that was known to have occurred near Axtell, and the weapons discovered are pronounced the relics of that bloody battle. \\ li.-ti laveMIgsllM and A^iia- lion have done in the Arts.

Twelve millions of insurance; Five thousand members; Eight years’ experience; Guaranteed and incontestable policies; Cash assets and indemnity reserve of $250,000; Expenses limited by contract; Mor¬ tality funds handled exclusively by Trust Co.; Four fixed payments a year—one for expenses and three for mortality; The lowest death rate of any Life Company in America; Cash surrender values or policies rendered self-sustaining at end of life expectation; Saving of 50 per cent in cost of insurance and abso¬ lute security, are points to which we call special attention. The business of the Fidelty is twice as much as it was in 1884, and the death rate is not any larger now, in proportion to the amount at risk,than it was five years ago. Ex-Governor Hartrant, of Pennsy vania, is organ¬ izing a Mutual Company in Phila¬ delphia, and is consulting L.
