Royal r±, t jMWUTEiy Pure . Makes the food more delicious and wholesome 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. Morris & Morkn.

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.” #26,000.00 Given Away.
