HANDSOME CHURCHES.
Nothing shows more plainly the
thrift and progressire spirit of a town
than its churches. If there are beau
tiful homes with all modern improve
ments and conveniences, you may be
sure that those people have also beauti
fied God's holy temple. When the
divine hand guides the architect and
the painters brush, there is something
in the result that brings out that which
is ennobling in art.
In my ramblings this summer I no
ticed in the Methodist Church at
Madison, an exquisite 'design above
the altar representing “The Cherubim
and Seraphin,” on a pale blue morn -
ing sky, ethericalized by a fleecy at
mosphere of light floating clouds, and
so realistic it seems you can almost
see the winged little angels catch up
the eloquent word"; of the inspired
gospel and bear them on spreading
farther and farther the glorious tidings
. of love and peace over the world.
This was the handiwork of Mrs. Sim
eon Shaw who has won quite a repu
tation as an artist and whose pictures
adorn many of the elegant homes in
Madison and other places.
Though only a few days in Monti
cello. I was so fortunate as to take a
peep into all of the churches, which
speak well of the architectural taste
of its high toned hospitable people.
The new Presbyterian Church is a
gem oi beauty with its harmonious
blending of colors, its exquisite stain
ed glass and curved oaken seats.
The Baptist Church also, of which
Dr. Golden is pastor, is attractive in
appearance and situation having an
interesting history which endears it
to the home people ot all denomina
tions. There we heard an earnest
forcible sermon by a young man who
is yet a student of Mercer.
The new Methodist Church and its
freshly painted parsonage, form a
handsome picture with its lolly hills
as a background. The carpet, pews
and altar all are in keeping with the
glowing lights and shades of the
beautiful stained glass.
In Marietta we found one of the
handsomest Baptist churches in the
state, being built of pearl and gray
marble with a base of cut granite the
same shade. The steps and flooring of
the broad vestibule are also of marble.
The interior decorations all follow a
most restful blending of soft silver
gray relieved by a delicate blue. This
color scheme is perceptible even in
the large pipe organ of gray ribbed
with pale blue and gold. One cannot
help feeling thankful for God's abun
dant mercies in such a beautiful tern
pie as this. He has given us a plen
tiful supply of Georgia marble, softly
tinted granite, and other building
material and it should be used in His
service. The Marble Works above
Marietta and the stone quarries of
Lithonia are indeed ,a wonderful
sight.
The Presbyterian Church has re
cently had an annex with which I was
much pleased. This was built at the
back of the church for Sunday school
work,and consists of alarge general class
room, where the Christian Endeavor
era also hold their meetings. On one
side is the ladies parlor tor Mission
ary Meetings, handsomely furnished,
some one being so thoughtful as to
place in the cosey corner a comfort
able lounge with downy pillows for
the feeble. Opposite is the large airy
room appropriated to the dear little
folks, and always feeling an interest
every where in this special work, 1
enjoyed a vistit to them. The Primary
work is conducted by Mrs. Spalding,
who understands child nature and its
needs most thoroughly. In small
chairs there wree thirty earnest little
people, who listened with intense in
terest when I was called on to illus
trate the lesson as I do lor my little
folks at home. One bright eyed little
boy rewarded the effort by saying “1
never will forget that, no, I never will."
It is sweet to remembered, and if
only one small grain should spring up
by the wayside it may bear some day
precious rruit for the Master.
' On the upper floor were eight pri
vate class rooms opening on a gallery
extending round the squire where
each teacher led his class, being quiet
and undisturbed in their study of the
Scriptures.
The new Methodist Church in pro
gress of erection will be a handsome
edifice of brick in Gothic design with
all modern improvements. The young
men’s society have recently painted
the parsonage making it “blossom as
the rose.”
Though not dependent on a gilded
shrine for God's holy presence, who
dwells alike on the mountain height
and in the still depths of the primeval
forest, yet it is I believe pleasing in
His sight to give our best artistic tal
ent to His holy Temple, ar.d make
it resound with thanksgiving, gratitude
and praise. L.
LIKE ROUNDLAP BALES.
Opinions of Cotton Fanners and (tin
ners after a Seasan'N Experience,
'l’he attitude of cotton ginners and
farmers towards the Roundlap cotton
bale of the American Cotton Compa
ny,after a seasons test of the machine,
is illustrated by a letter received re
cently by the editor of the Manufact
urers’ Record, Baltimore, as follows:
Editor Manufacturers’ Record:
Some time ago you requested us to
give you our opinion of the American
Cotton Co.’s cylindrical press. At
that time we were unable to give our
views correctly, owing to the short
time we had operated the press. Now
that the ginning season has closed,
we can unquestionably say that the
press is a success in every particular,
not only from a ginner’s standpoint,
but as practical farmers. The results
from sale of our cotton have been
eminently satisfactory and much be
yond what we had anticipated. The
advantages to planter and operator
are so many that it would take up too
much space to enumerate them. It
is sufficient to say that no one who
has baled their cotton on this press
would now or hereafter patronize any
other. And why should they? Their
ginning charges are less than the
square-press people charge, and they
receive from one-quarter to one-half
cent per pound more than they could
get in the square bale. These is no
question about the round bale being
here to stay, and we would advise the
ginmen, especially those who are near
a railroad, to get in the swim at once
and exemplify the old adage of the
early, bird getting the worm. They
will not only benefit themselves, but
their friends, the farmers, will get the
cream that the middlemen, the com
mission merchants, have been enjoy
ing and getting rich upon. In con
elusion, to condense the advantages,
will say that the bale is fireproof,
waterproof, dustproof, and proof that
it is a labor saving and money making
bale to the farmer.

ATTORNEY-AT LAW
BARNESVILLE, GA.
Loans Negotiated-
808 TAyLOR ON INGSfSOL-
Bob Taylor, the great lecturer and
philosopher, who so greatly pleased
!an immense audience at the Barnes
ville Chautauqua last year, has this
to say about Bob Ingersol, which we
reproduce because the people here
always read with interest what Taylor
has to say and because what he has
to say is always well worthy the at
; tention of the people:
“I sat in a great theater at the na
tional capital. It was thronged with
| youth and beauty, old age and wisdom,
i I saw a man, the image of God, stand
upon the slage and I heard him
speak. His gestures were perfection
of grace, his voice was music and his
language was more beautitul than any
I ever heard from mortal lips.
“He painted picture after picture
of pleasures and joys and sympathies
of home. He enthroned love and
preached the gospel of humanity like
an angel. Then I saw him dip his
brush in the ink of moral blackness
and blot out the beautiful pictures he
had painted. I saw him stab love
dead at his feet. I saw him blot out
the stars and the sun and leave hu
manity and the universe in eternal
darkness and eternal death.
“I saw him, like the serpent of old,
worm himself into a paradise ofhu
man hearts and by his seductive elo
quence and subtle devises and soph
istry inject his fatal venom, under
whose blight its powers faded, and its
music was hushed, its sunshine was
darkened and its soul was left a des
ert waste with only the new made
graves of faith and hope.
“I saw him, like a lawless, erratic
meteor, without an orbit, sweep across
the intellectual sky, brilliant only in
its self-consuming fire generated by
friction with indestructible and eter
nal truths of God.
“That man was the archangel of
modern infidelity, and I said, how
true is Holy Writ, which declared
•The fool hath said in his heart, there
is no God.’
“Tell me not, oh, Infidel, there is
no God, no heaven, no hell! Tell
me not, oh, Infidel, there is no risen
Christ!
“What intelligence less than God’s
could fashion the human body? What
motive power is it, if not God, that 1
drives the throbbing engine of the
human heart, with ceaseless, tireless
stroke, sending crimson streams of
life bounding and circling through
every vein and artery?
“Whence and what, if not God, is
this mystery we call mind? What is
it that thinks and feels and knows
and acts? Oh, who can deny the di
vinity that stirs within us?
“God is everywhere and in every
thing. His mystery is in every bud
and blossom, leat and tree; in every
rock and hill, vale and mountain; ev
ery spring, rivulet and river.
“The rustle ot his wing is in every
zephyr; its might is in every tongue.
He dwells in the dark pavilions of
every storm cloud. The lightning is
his messenger and the thunder is his
voice. His awful tread is in every
earthquake and every angty ocean.
The heavens above us teem with his
myriads of shining witnesses. The
universe of solar systems whose
wheeling orbs course the crystal paths
of space proclaim through the dread
hall of eternity the glory and power
and dominion of the all-wise, omnip
otent and eternal God.”
