Yes, Toll went along with 'em, to see what the rip was. lint lie didn’t have time to stay long. He got back borne in a day or two. His time is too valua alile to waste it on such foolishness. The Presbyterians and Evolution. ArmrsTA, May 29.— The general as sembly of the Presbyterian church con cluded its labors to-night after nine days' session. The report of the committee on the Sabbath, strongly condemned the running of railroads and the publish ing and rending of newspapers on Hun day, also the sending and receiving of mail. The question of Columbia Theological Seminary was finally settled by the fol lowing resolution, adopted by a vote of 65 to 27. Resolved, That whereas tlio general assembly is convinced that the Itsy. .Tames Woodrow, I). D., one of the pro fessors in Columbia Theological Hcmin ary, holds views repugnant to the Word of God and to our confession of faith, ns appears both by bis address published in the Southern Presbyterian Review J illy, ISB4, and in other publications, and by his statements made upon the floor of this assembly; therefore this geueral as sembly does hereby, in accordance with its action yesterday, in regard to the oversight of the theological seminaries earnestly recommended to the synods of South Carolina, Georgia Alabama, and South Georgia and Florida, which direct and control said seminary, to dis miss Rev. James Woodrow as professor in said semiuary, and to appoint another in bis place, andspeedly to take such oth er steps as in their judgment will be best adapted to restore the seminary to the confluence of the church. Atlanta Correspondence. 4ft-N*TA. May 34 1596. No new scheme with which to startle the world, bas been originated in Atlan ta this week. Our base-bull club stands ut the Lead of the league, to the sstisfac- 1 lion of the sporting pnblic; the lawyers are awaiting the 7th of June, when Judge Ron A. Pardee, nf New Orleaus. comes to Atlanta to hear the argument on the injunction for the W. k A. and E. T. V. k G. Railroads against the Georgia Railroad Commission, and in the interim are watching th > guberna torial mud slinging contest; Myxiatt is earnestly endeavoring to stir np some interest in congressional matters; the nuholy and wrathful anti still cuseeth the ' ' bonnie blue flag that is to tie raised in Atlanta over 200 empty saloons on tho first of July; prohibitonista era smil ingly bat somewhat expectantly wait | ing. Indeed everything und everybody 1 seem to be waiting. That seems to be ’ the trouble with the prohibition ques t lion. Too many people are waiting to t see what will be the result. If they ' wait too long/prohibition may yet work an evil. But it cannot be so. Although 4 this Is the dullest season of the year, 1 business men ssy that trade is good, r lint a steady trade will cot save Atlanta. Hhe must progress, and after a few . months, when men conclude that it is 1 useless to wait looger, she will progress. * The moral progress of the, next century .1 bangs in the balance over the capital - city of Georgia. Prohibition, as elected b by tho masf.es, must ho snstained by the masses or it will receive a blow which .1 no living man will ever see it outgrow, j What will be the result? y Judge Daniel Pittman, former Ordina ry of Fulton county, dropped dead on . Whitehall street last Hnnday. He was an old and highly respected citizen, and as printer, lawyer, soldier and Judge, . always sustained a reputation for honor, n fuithfuluess and integrity. 9 t From Long Pond. Farmers in this section nro taking ad j vantage of the dry weather to conquer , General Green, and most of them have succeeded. Cetton is looking well not ' withstanding the ground was dry at the I time it was coming up. Tho Long Pond f Agricultural Club met hero on tho sth. We are sorry to see so few tnke un iu j terest in Ibis important feature of civ ilization. Agriculture is the back bone of Georgia, especially of Montgomery county. The principal portion of the timber near tbo banks of the Oconee has been cut aud shipped to market, aDd ns a necessity the people have tnrned more to farming. For a good many years the tide of emigration was to get beyond the Rocky Mountains, but now, weary of the long bleak winters and the cold red-clay bills, it bas turned south again, to enjoy the bright sun mid balmy breezes of the south sido of the monutniu, aud as for ns we have been able to see, the majorit y of those who come from tho upper coun ties of Georgia, are hard working iudtis trous and energetic people. They are poor and are not afraid to work, nud have been accustomed principally to farming. Tho dawn of a brighter day for the southern portion of Georgia is upon ns, if wo will awuko to tho fact, ntid give them a showing. Why not all come out and join the Club; every man mid boy who is old enough to plow ought to be long to nn Agricultural Chit). Let us 'stir the eoals nnd start the blaze again, of the fire that was kindled a few years ago, but allowed to burn down ? We sen the good effects, the improvement made in farming. Now a little exertion, a little fuel, and the fire will blaze higher, and burn brighter than before. Mr. Duncan Mcßride, of Florida, Ims been visitiug relatives nud friends in thi s community, lie was formerly of this county but moved to Valencia Fla., soon after the war, where lie has remained since. He is one of those veterans who, by a long life of energy nnd industry is now guttering the fruits of his labor, spending the evening of life in his beautiful Florida home, with his child ren married aud settled around him. Ho was loved by aU who know him before he left here, so it was u great pleasure to have him in our midst again. Miss Amanda Morrison has returned from a lengthy visit to relatives iu Flor ida. She is ns entertaining as ever, nnd we are glad to bnve the vacancy iu the social circle, caused by her nbsenoe, again refilled. Mr. Willie MoArthnr of the firm of Willie T. McArthur A Son, is a hand some young man. He loves to visit the “White House,” aud we don't blama him, for the “White Hoase” is a pretty cage with pretty birds in it. Yours truly, A. M. ■ From Red Bluff. Freemau Outlaw, colored, had his house aud everything in it burned a 1 few days ago. Mr. Charles Bengnot has moved his j family to Red Bluff. He has one of the j pleasau test-and most interesting families I have ever met, aud although they may not make this country their home dur ing futnre life I am snre the people of > Montgomery would be glad to know they would, aud will extend to them a hearty welcome. Mr. J. J. Spivey left Red Bluff Thurs day for Laurens, to spend a few days with bis parents, nud recruit bis health. I>r. Morrison of Mt. Vernon spent a , few hours with us last Friday, ( Col. loud is epeudiug a few days at l the mill. , There * s a good deal of sickness in this part of the county. We hear that Arthur Davis Sr., is very sick. He is cue of the oldest men « in the county, being about 90 years old, and hitherto has beeu uuusually stoat ' and healthy. Hope to bear of his i speody recovery. —W. — 1 A Eorr Journalist. George Prentice, while editor cl the 1 Louisville Journal, wasofteu importuned 1 l<v college men who panted for a cbauce | to seud a quiver through the great read- j '■ | iug world. A graduate named Edwards ' | was so fortunate as tosecureu trial on the ’ Journal. He was a modest young man, ! aud did Dot claim that he could, the first 1 week, take quite all tbe work off Mr. 1 Prentice’s bands, but be knew that, after ' tbe first month he could take the place j • of the chief editor and discharge bis • duties in away that would render the ' reuders oblivions tho change. The j • great journalist bad, by a very dear • friend, beeu recommended to Prentice, \ f consequently the editor was anxious that j • afternoon of the third day, Edwards • went into Prentice’s room, and with an ! 3 air of self-confidence, began to boast of l 1 his acquirements. • “There is a great, deal in the newspaper business after all,” said he. Mr. Prentice agreed that there was a 1 great deal in the newspaper business as- B tor nil. • “Yes, sir,” Edwards continued, • “when I was at school I used to tbiuk ’ that a man could learu all about tbe whole thing iu a day or two, but be can’t doit. I think, though, that some men inherit a kind of insight into the journal istic profession, don’t you’” “It seems so,” Mr. Prentice replied. “Yes,” Edwards resumed, “some men r have a natural facility for foiming tbe opinions of others; aud, sir, the bean y of it is tbe natural product journalist I forms opinions so skilfully that the muD who reads it, and, by George, sir, thinks that he himself formed it.” “Very often the case, no doubt,” re- plied Mr. Prentice. “Now,” Edwards went on, “that’s wimt I regard as journalism. None of your slip-shod business about that. I j * suppose, Mr. Prentice, you have observed that I have learned to say things pleas antly?” “Yea.” “That’s one acquisition. Now, what next would you advise?” “Learn something to say." “Why, I—I—” stammered Mr. Ed wards, “I thought that—" “No explanations are necessary,” said Mr. Prentice. Then, turning in his chair and bestowing a qnizzical look upon the upstart, the mau whose idlest pen stroke was sometimes ft gouging pasquinade said; "Your foresight ia too eh*in* to enable you to become a journalist!" “llow HO?” “Why, yon see through the wbifle thing. Yon can look into tho business of a newspaper like a prophet could look into the future. This, in the end, must render the business distasteful to you. As all strollers will tell you, the most pleasant road to traverse is the one that offers the largest number of sur prises—ft glimpse of shining water, a moment's view of rich landscape. There fore I would advise you to giva np the newspaper business, for it will undoubt edly become distasteful, like a monoto nous path too often gone over. I know that it would boa struggle tear your self away nbw, but you should make the sacrifice. You owe it yenr father, your mother, your creditors.” “I know there is much truth in what you say. Mr. Prentice, but I have given so much thought to this business, that now to throw it away and engagoin some thing else wonld be changing the course of a life—would be like changing the ohauuel of a mighty river." Edwards smote iiis troubled breast, lifted up his moustache, put a finger on each sido of his month, aud missed tue spittoon about six inches' "I foresee the struggle,” said Mr. Freu tico; “but because a struggle is foreseen is no reason why it should be averted. Life is a struggle,” “But, Mr Prentice, what would you advise mo to do?” “Your foresight prompts me to suggest the advisability of miming a govern ment. I don't know anything about tbe chances for getting tbatkindof situation at present, but I do know that you could do up the work to tho delight of the queen and to the taste of tbe entire royal household. Let me see. How are yon in Greek?” “First rate." “Probably yon might get ft situation 1 as a writer of circus posters.” “I wouldn't like that." “No? Well, bow wonld you like to float i down the river on a raft, spending your ! spare tnornen ts in tbe study of curreut navigation, sand bnuk philosophy, aud the wholesome casuistry of ferrymen who j charged double price when the water was low, because it is low, and double price when tbe water is high, because it is high?" "You are making fun of me." “Oh. no; quite impossible. I cannot make anything of you. Here, Bill," | calling a porter, “let in the other gradu ate and we'll give him a turn."— Arkm. sate Tmueler. —A communication from Lothair came to baud too late for this issue; aud an obituary notice of young Adams bas beeu mispiact-d, so that we cau not find it. Hence it does not appear in the paper this week. WOOL, WOOL, WOOL!! - ♦♦♦•• —— TTfE WOULD hay to the citizen- of Mvnt \ V ginnery county, that we are in the Wool mark* t.
