too practical a nutuie to be appreci ated, and

The Last Sermon. — A large congrega
tion assembled at the Methodist Church in
Sunday morning to listen to the last sermon
of the conference year. The sermon was a
very able and a very touching one. After
a lucid and eloqneul discussion of his text,
Dr. Kendall reviewed his labors of the year
and the grand success of his church, to
which, let us add, be so largely contributed.
At the close he spoke feelingly of the hap
piness of tbe year’s labors; of the kindness
which bound his family had received at the
bands of the church and the people of
Griffin. During his talk the speaker was
visibly affected and his congregation were
deeply moved, a large portion of it being
in tears. It s very easy to see that the
Methodists (and we believe the same can be
said of other churches) have been wonder
fully blessed duriug the past year. The
bond of sympathy and affection that exists
between pastor and people is rare. Dr.
Kendall has done a mighty work in the
community, and we believe his continued
ministration would result eveu in a bioader
and grander success We certainly trust
tbe Conference, in its wisdom, will see fit
to return him to the Griffin charge.— Gujjin

Georgia's Prosperity.—Georgia real
izes s3'>o,ooo from the rent of the Western
and Atlantic railroad aod $50,000 from He
Macon and Brunswick railroad, $30,000
from the inspection of fertilisers, $20,000

on railroads ami >20.000 inrmiajJM——
about ?869 000 The total income of the
state is about $1,300000 She is called
the Empire State of the South. She hrs
more lamoi m than any o'her Southern State, j
and is never weary of weli-doing in that di
tection. Every now and then we hear of I
sane new er>t rprise leLg unde'taktn
there. Some new mill is always in C arrse
of const'uet on, and additional evidence of!
her prosperity is being continually given to
the world. Her people are awake, pro
gressive, energetic. They are on the hgh
road to lasting prosperity, and know that
d versified indtl-tries alone bring It.— Raleigh
(N. C ) Obseiver.
There lives in the republic of Salvador ;
at present a venerable gentleman named
Miguel Solis, who is one hundred and eighty
years of age. There is no doubt at all
about it. He signed a doenment relating
to the building of a convent in 1722, being
then twenty-three years old. VV lien Dr.
Hernandez lately called on him he was at
work in his garden. He takes one strong,
nourishing meal each day, except on the Ist
and 15’b of each month, when he eats noth
ing. but drinks as much water as lie cun.
We are not told whether he is a teetotaller,
or drinks the wir.e of the country, which
is called ‘‘tangleleg,” but it is stated his skin
is like parchment, his hair white as snow,
while his eyts have a most lively expies
sion.
Among tlie useful Toilet articles
we notice a much-liked preparation for the
hair, possessed of properties so remarkable
that no one who cares to own a cleu n and
healthy scalp with beautiful hair should
pass it untried Its properties are
cleansing, invigorating and healing, and af
ter a few applications the hair cases to
fall Dundruff and Humors disappear and
the hair grows clean, snlt and silky It
keeps the head cool und comfortable and
gradually restores the hair if gray or faded
to the natural and life-like color beautiful to
look upon It :s Parker’s Hail Balsam
that lias won such popular appreciation by
its many excellent and healthful properties.

How Watches are Made.
It will he apparent to anv one, who will
examine a Solid G ild Watch, (but aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of *he
precious metal used, is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place, and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
'The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beautv are concerned In
james boss’ patent gold
WATCH CASKS, this waste of precious j
metal is overcome, and the same solidity and
strength produced at from one-third to one
hail of the usual cost of solid cases. This
process is of the most simple nature, as fol
lows : a plate of nickle composition metal,
especially adapted to the purpose, has two
plates of solid gold soldered one on each
side. 'The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip
of heavy plated composition, from which the
cases, backs, centres, b> z“ls, etc , are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to
admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without retrieving the gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASK MADE
WI TH TWO PLA TES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL
CERTIFICATE.
