The Celebration.
Ou Sntnrday the 3rd ii>4. the Mont
gomery Co. Sunday School Association
hold its minimi celebration in the sylvan
eiiy of Mt. Vernon. Early in the fore
noon tho happy homos of Montgomery
began to yield their noblest, busiest
workers, and their sweetest, freshest
buds of promise, to dignify and adorn
the occasion. The members, regular, of
the diflorent Sabbath Schools repre
sented, assembled in tho church, whence
they were marshaled by Messrs. Mann
sod Carswell. When tho command was
given, "Forward march," tho battalion
moved off to that brilliant air, "Tho
Kingdom is Coming."
The procession was a long one, and a
pretty one. To see the bright, sweetj
little children all in line, striving so j
bravely to do honor to their noble cause, j
was enough to make old hearts grow I
young, and cold hearts grow warm;
enough to make cynics feel a suddeu
rush of "faith, hope and charity”—to
make tho indifferent glow with enthu
siasm. Two especially charming little
ladies, were Misses Ophelia Bazomoro
and Pella Mcßae, who bore right val
liuntly the bouuio banner entrusted to
them for tho day.
Ou arriving at the rostrum arranged,)
the essayists and speakers were invited to |
come forward. The already largo but
still increasing assemblage was then re
galed with a shall but courteous "Wel
come" address, bv Col. H. W. Carswell,
iu his own princely style. Next in or- !
der was was a “respouse" by the presi-;
dent of the AsssuciutiOD or some «>uo se
lected by him. Mr. Maun, the ener- :
getie and soulful president, arose and iu- 1
traduced lvev. A. 11. Razeiuore. who af
ter a brief but hearty "response," retired
iu liouor of Miss Agnes Adams, essay- !
ist from the Adamsville 8. S. Miss
Adams, in her bright and characteristic
rendition of a paper ou "Sunday j
Schools,” did much credit to herself
ntid the school she represented, Mr.
T. A. Motlregorof the Long Pond S. S.
presented as his theme, "Solomon." He
recalled many sterliug facts, painted
some vivid pictures, and made the air
vocsl willi the most beautiful language.
Mr .loliu Poe, of the Mt. Vernon S.S.
delivered a rousing appeal to parents,
teachers and pupils, urging them to "be
up aup doing" "for the night conietb,
when no mail can work." Mt. Vernon'
Sabbath School his abundant cause to
be proud of their gifted v.-un.r orator.

sense of tho word.
For a display of lovely, becomingly
: dressed children, winsome maidens,
comely young matrons, stately ‘motheis
and fathers in Israel,’ an array of wit and
bon hommie, and a galaxy of beauty and

CORRESPONDENCE.
% Zaidee.
E u. Monitor:— l have been absent
from the county about n month. This
s is perhaps tbu reason the hawk gobbled
up the bee-martin. I imagine he had
| a nice time alnue in the shade of the pine
that l’iney Woods Boy’s father planted
j while "Old Laud Mark” was sleeping.
| Hut the immense weight or great force
I of the monster hawk, whet.' he lit on the
I bough of the pine, aroused "Old Land
| Mnrk" from his quiet nap. And after
i rubbing his eyes, in wonder and snr
| prise, he turns to that great Book of
Books and reads from its pages, from the
pen of inspiration, directed by the
Alwise Greater and Itulor of the Uni
verse, the following declaration: “Sanc
tify yourselves, therefore, and bo ye
holy, for I am the Lord your God, and
ye shall keep mv statutes, nud do them;
I am the Lord which sanctify yon."
i (Lev. xx. 7—8.) Here we see thut God
| did, according to the statement of the
S old prophet, sanctify a people, fourteen
j hundred and ninety years before the
advent of Jesus. I wonder if "Finev
Woods Boy” will say that he does not
believe that statement. "I have com
manded my sanctified ones, I have also
called tny mighty ones for mine anger,
even them that rejoice in my lightness."
(Isa. XIII. 3.) This oecarred7l‘2yours
before Christ, and I imagine if there
hud been a "Fiooy Woods Boy” there,
he would hnva told the old prophet that
he "did not believe it, and lie didn’t
care who kuowed it.’’
Now, in order that the “Piney Woods
Boy" may not say, as some other unbe
lievers do, that the foregoing quotations
nro incorpruted in tho old dispensation
and all done away, I will quote from
the Testament of Jesus Christ, which is
culled by Paul "the Law of the Spirit,
or the Prefect Law of Lil>erty, that made
me free from the law of siu and death."
Hear "Paul nnto tho Church of God
which is nt Corinth; to them that nre
sanctified in Christ Jesus, culled t<> bo
saints, with all that are in every place,
that call upou the name of Jenna Christ
our Lord, both theirs and our .." (Cor.
I. 2.) Surely the “Piney Woods Boy"
will not bikeisHiie with Paul, the learned,
and say they were not sanctified when
ho says they were.
The Lord deals with man npnn the
same principles that man deals with his
fellow-man, when be says, by the month
of two witnesses shall a fact 1)6 estab
lished. We have given a "thus snith
the Lord” for oar position. But in or
der to put a quietus on the Home Boy,
and “earnestly contend for tho faith
once delivered to the saints,” and show
that the Lord does abundantly establish
His word to them who search it, and
keep tho Bible before them, we will give
other quotations. Wo nre not surprised
at men who keep the Bible behind them,
instead of before them, getting out into
the mists, marshes nud bogs of iufidelity
and skepticism, ond saying they do not
believe it. Especially when they try to
quote Bible truths nud can’t do it, and
then boast, with an air of triumph, of
their profoundness and deep lenrniug;
nud eveu threaten to burst Biblo truths
higher thau a kite. We refer him to
the first chapter of Jude, beginuiug nt
the 10th verse, dowu to the 20th, and
we suggest that no one read the 2nd
chapter of that book. Again read Ro
mans XV 16, Heb 11. 11, &X. 14. "For
this is the will of God, eveu your sauc
tifleation." (I. These. IV. 3,4.) "But
we nre hound to give thanks, always, to
God, for you, brethren, beloved of the
Laird, because God hnth from tho begin- ’
uiug choseu you to salvation, through I
sanctification of the spirit and belief of i
the tenth.” (11. These. 11. 13.) "Where
fore Jesus slso, that he might sanctify
the people with his own blood, suffered
without the gate.” (Heb. XIII. 12.)
‘‘Eleot aeeordiug to the foreknowledge)
of God the Father, through saiictiSca- ;
tiou of the spirit.” (I. Feter I. 2.)
Do not the above Scripture texts
prove, to the mind of the believer, that
there is a sanctified people of the Lord,
whether the I’. W. B. at 11. admits it or
not?
And now, in conclusion, I would say
to the brother, I have been reading a
little, and have failed to tiud the quota
tions iu the lbble, ss yon quoted them
to the readers of the Monitor. Now tiie
issue is tip, we urge you to give them,
or ever remember that "booest confes
sion is good for the soul." Don’t give
similar or inferential quotations, but
identical. And bear in mind that “O”
Land Mark" i« <•"-;* -!•- ' - h i own
fled." Id
not know Wio "Sie'tifled" »< '"it 1
,to dePnd himself. Remember my posi- i
i tion, and what I have written, srd if oc
-1 cusion requires, or further argument de.
1 mnnds. I will, in the next article, tell
; yon what sanctification is, and to whom
and whnt it is applied.
Year brother in search of tho truth,
and in hope of eternal life.

Ed. Monitor: —I see from the last
issue of the Monitor, that the mail route
' between Mcßae and Mt. Vernon has
been abolished. In the concluding pur
j agvaph of the article you say the govern
i ment has been imposed upon. I agree
| with you in that. Not only the govern
) ment, but tho people who depended
ion that line and the routes connected
with it, have suflered. Ever since that
route wns madeaduily mail fromMcVille
to Mt. Vernon, almost any little swell
in the river stopped the mail. Some
times for as much as three weeks, the
people on all routes connected with that,
! had to do without their mail. When any
! private citizen wanted to crosa the river
| they did so, but the mail could not.
; Tho fault liea with somebody, and who
i ever it may be ought to be made to sttf
i fer for it. I am sorry for the people
along that route, that they should be
cut off from mail facilities. I know
how it is myself, ou account of recent
mail failures on this route, and if the
proper authorities do not take tho nec
essary steps to have the mails carried as
the department requires them to be car
ried itDder their contracts, there will be
another suspension, on the new route.
A mail contractor ahonld be made to
know that a mail failure is no smuil mat
ter, and should be held to a strict ac
countability for every failure without
a lawful excuse. And they nre so few
that n failure would seldom ever occur.
There is no way that I know of, to ascer
tain the measure of damages caused by
one such mail failure, nud if it could be
ascertained and collected out of the
contractor, you would not hear of many
more mail failures. I hope the proper
authorities will see to it thut there bo
no failures on the new route without a
full investigation of the matter.
I aee you nre kept posted on the crop
prospects of the different sections of the
county. The unusual weather of the
Inst month has delayed farm work con
siderably iu this section, beside thedutn
nge done by wind and ton much rain.
Still the crops nre good, and there is not
as much complaint of gru-.s ns I see front
Some other portions of the county. I
liavo seen many crops within the Just
two weeks. Wliat I have seeu are gone*.
I never had a cleaner crop at this son
son of the year in my life. Mr. Jona
than Smith, farming on a portion of the
writer’s place, Itns a clean crop. He has
one cotton patch that was considerably
decked with blooms ns early as the 20th
of June, and 1 am satisfied that there
is not grass enough iu the whole field
to support two head of geese decently
Besides, his corn and all other crops,
are in a like condition, except n late j
cotton patch which he has not yet chop
ped.
Wo nro having n good deal of sick
ness in the county, and have had Jo 1 '
the past month. However, the people
in this county nre better propared for
sickness than formerly, when they had !
to go so fur for a doctor when any one
got sick. Now we have, located in our
midst, an excellent young doctor, a re
cent graduate of ono of the Atlauta col
leges, who went into a large practice
right at once, and has boon eminently
successful so far. I hope he will give
you au "nd.”soon, and that will let the
people know to whom I allude.

The weather is very warm, consider
ing we have had so much rain. Wo are
visited uparly every day with very hard
wind storms, doiug great damtigo to the j
crops throughout this section. I think,
from the Dumber of trees blown down
near Mr. Christopher Mclvao’s place on
lust Friday, that the wind was worse
there than auywhere I have been.
Miss Mamie Evaus, one of Tattual ,

ladies, is visiting Adamsville. She has
many friends here, who wish her a long
and pleasant visit. She is the guest of
Miss Sophie McLeod.
Mrs. T, J. Pritchett of Lotbair, is
speuding a few days with her mother,
Mrs. McLeod. Her presence is ever
welcome, wherever she goes.
Miss Addie Adams, a lovely young
lady of Adamsville, is visiting friends at '
Lumber City. We hope her visit will be
like a May shower, short but pletUMlK.
Mrs. M. E. Pritchett and daughter
have returned from a visit to the family
of Mr. Heury Pritchett, near Stuckey.
The Adamsville String Baud were out

nice things from the young ladies, such
as wine, lemouude and occasionally a '
nice watermelon.

There are n lot of scriptorians in this
community, judging from the way they
talk. Some declare that certain things
are not in the Bible, and others declare
that passages mean so and so, and that
sneb and-sneh preachers are false prnpb.
ets, aud that they can nproot their doc
trine so quick. But this is always said
a long ways from those preachers. Now,
I tbiuk if everybody wolnd read the
Bible carefully, and ask for a correct
understanding, tliev would find that we
are not advised to cirque the Scriptures,
or to condemn them; blit to smirch them.
We hear some very absurd things spok
en of. Ido hope we will soon have a lot
of good preachers, who will arise and
discuss the Scriptures and explain them
before n crowd. They are able to talk
to a few, ami perhaps they will face
many in the near future.

We nil live in hope, if we die in des
pair. All people have a hope to do bet
tor, after awhile. They will say that
they have plenty of time yet awhile. I
hope to do better after awhile, but there
is no use to be in a hurry about it. We
are not going to die yet. I hope to he
n good man alter awhile; I want to do
good after awhile, but there is plenty of
time to fix lip for it yet, and enjoy the
pleasures of this life. But let me advise
you my loving friends, while you iive,
to do better. You should not put off
what you should do to-day. The Bible
says we know not the day nor tho hour;
but‘‘Sanctified’’will want chapter nud
verse for it. Hope keeps us alive, but
despair takes us away. Too late, too late,
will be your cry, Jesus of Nazareth pns
seth by. So let ns no longer hesitate
upon tho word hope, but put the word
I will in its place, that wj may all get
to Hoaveu wheu we die.
