McDonough. Ga., Sept. IC, 1802.
Publisher’s Notice.
We take pleasure in announcing
that Mr. A. 15. Johnson is again con
nected with The Weekly, and we
shall spare no pains hereafter to issue,
a more readable paper. All favors
shown Mr. Johnson will be duty ap
predated.
A BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Are we drifting back into barbarism?
It certainty- appears that way, espec
ially after reading the spectacle pre
sented at the prize fightin New Orleans
last week, and ihe numerous comments
made thereon.
The daily press for the last month
has been devoting more space to “slush”
regarding the aforesaid “fisticuff” than
they have to other legitimate news.
Editorials have been written; every
utterance of the opposing pugilists,
and then a red-flannel description of
the brutal fight that abounded in slang
phrases of the sporting circle; which
tells of blood pouring from a broken
nose, lips that once wore confident
smiles, bruised, lacerated and swollen
eyes, which but a few moments before
had beamed with bright anticipation of
success and self confidence, blood shot,
bleared, bleediug; of thousands of
spectators wildly excited, betting and
indulging in hurrahs for their respec
tive champions. Just think for a mo
ment of such a scene here in Christian
America. Such a spectacle would
have found a proper setting in the
arena ofancient Home, hut not in this
laud of churches, .Even in so short a
space of time as fiye years ago such an
occurrence would have scarcely been
noticed by the press of the country.
Shame on our brethren of the quill ;
they should join the pulpit in deunuuc
ing such demoralizing exhibitions
instead of advertising them free gratis.
That its pernicious influence is affect
ing the youths of our land is made
plainly discernable in the following
item clipped from the Griffin News :
The affect of the recent prize fights
in Now Orleans are noticeable every
where. All during the days that have
followed impromptu fights are being in
dulged in by both white and colored
boys of the city. Yesterday afternoon
at the Central depot several rounds
were fought by two youngsters both of
them having pluck enough f 6 stand up
for several rounds, which furnished
amusement and a means for making
small wagers by the largo crowd which
were attracted by sounds of this iniua
ture imitation of the prize ring. This
battle was declared a uruw by the self
appointed judges.
Down with such barbarous sport.
Let the righteous indignation of the
people be felt through the strong arm
of the law in the suppression of prize
fighting.
Col. Ellle F. Weems.
In this issue of The Weekly will
be found the law card of Mr. E. F.
Weems, who has decided to locate at
Hampton. Elbe is one of Henry’s
most promising young men, and we
predict for him a brilliant future, aud
unbounded success in his choseu pro
fession. He is a recent graduate of the
Law department of the University of
Georgia, at Athens, and his record
there, both in the literary and law de
partment, were such as to gain the un
limited admiration of his fellow stu
dents, and to bring the highest order
of praise from his instructors, showing
to his friends that he posessed all of the
requisite qualifications that go to make
a success. Ilis oratorical powers are
of a high order, as was demonstrated
by his boiug chosen as one of the
champi >n debators of the Phi Kappa
Society to represent that organization
at the last Commencement, lie was
also awarded the annual speakership
medal, winning it over a number of con
testants, among whom were sous of
the best speakers of the University.
The Weekly j ins his many friends
and admirers in extending to him a
welcome back to his native couuty, and
in wishing that success and prosperity
may attend his efforts.
We doff our chapeau to Col. Weems.

Training Children.
Lptitt this subject parents au<i in
structors need to think.
It is, and necessarily fid* a subject of
vital importance, and should ever be a
living issue of thought and discussion
among our common people.
The picture that might be revealed
to at least two-thirds of our parents,
were it not for their eyes being closed
and their cars deaf, would bring a re
proach of shame upon their poor neg
lectful minds that would find its rest
ing place with them in the grave.
Do I mean by this that two thirds of
our fathers and mothers whose boys
and girls are now blooming into man
hood and womanhood have fallen so
far from duty on this line as to subdue
their very names to shame aud degra
dation forever in the hearing of our
people ? No. But if they could only
see their mistake and behold the fruits
which are yet to be reaped from it—
yea, if they could but see the very ills
and depressions which are yet to come
upon our country and the most fruit
ful cause of it too being chargeable to
them, surely death would be to their
weary souls a calm and happy relief.
Fathers, mothers, come and let us
argue this question.
It must be, boyoml a doubt, your
anxious desire to see your little babes
who now, from reason of infancy can
only mako use of pratliug words and
childish ways, develop into bright,
eminent, persevering and industrious
boys aud girls ; and if this be your
gratifying wish, then you must not ex
pect this wonderful development to
come about in your offsprings without
your being the author of it.
For it is only an exceptional case in
which the child ever rises to emineuce
without having been influenced by an
elderly person.
It is an exceptional case in which
that child falls to the lowest ranks of
society without haviug been persuaded
or influenced over, to a great extent,
by some elderly person.
According to nature children derive
their ways and actions, for the most
part, from their parents.
Though a child that has come so far
along as to he able to appreciate
thought and feeling and imagination is
not conscious of deriving everything
from father and mother ; and yet, as
you look upon the child, seeing it de
rive its impulses from them, seeing it
act all the day loug under the stimula
tion of their experience and their dis
position, you very soon come to the
conclusion that it lives in its parents
as it does. It may not be couscious of
it; it is not generally—certainly not
until the intercourse is broken off, and
home sickness ensues ; hut we see that,
without being conscious of it, the child
does really use the best part of itself
with its faculties under the constant
stimulus of the living presence of the
father and mother. O yes, they take
upon themselves your very actions;
marking all that you do or say. Or
in other words, you are nothing more
or less than a pattern by which they
will he cut.
Childhood is the foundation stone of
the edifice of life, and upon it inußt be
reared the structure that will either
degenerate into mere brutish existence,
or develop iuto noble being.
How necessary it is, therefore, that
the iutluences by which childreu are
surrounded should be pure and good
aud that their early years should be
wholly sheltered from vice.
How important it is that the head
stones of each and every home, the fa
ther aud mother, be bright and shining
lights to illuminate and poiut out the
pathway of true life to the precious lit
tle feet which follow the way so gent
ly in which they are led.
Hut ah ! too rnauy of our American
fathers never really know their chil
dreu. They may recognize their faces
aud call them by their names, but their
uatures remain uuexplored, and abso
lutely unknown to those who should
know them best. “It will be necessa
ry,’’ said Messaros, “to introduce some
parents to their children after death, or
they will loso them in eternity.”
Again, it is not uucommou for some
mothers to hold up the father as a per
petual terror to the children. Every
daw of discipline is made an excuse to
threaten the little ones with punish
ment when the father comes home, and
what is the result ? Affection is
changed into dread, aud the parent is
turned iuto a jailor or polic°mati by
such folly. Parents should not, under
no circumstance, eucoui age a thing that
would, in any way, change the relaiioti
ship between themselves aud their chil
dren. When it is necessary to putiish,
it should be administered wisely by the
mater or by whoever become cognisant
of the fault. Keep your child iu dread
and you are guilty of gross cruelty.
Strive to keep the affections of your
childreu at all times, and become
thoroughly acquainted with them.
Teach them to think that whatever
they may know is not too good or too
bad for you to know.
Teach them bxth by example aud
precept, administering kindness in all ;
aud 1 assure you, parents, that ic the
days which shall crown you with old
agfi; so tliany hours of trotlbld and
sigiting, caused by the reckless, degen
erate spirit of children, will not be
yours to endure.

The Annual Hinging at Tirzah.
The first Sunday in Sept. has long
been a day devoted to an all day sing
ing at old Tirzah, in memory of Thom
as C. Andrews. The morning was
bright and beautiful. At an early
hour the grove around the church was
filled with vehicles of all kinds. The
old prince and lover of music, Bro.
Ogletree, was ou hand, and was chosen
to preside as chairman of the meeting.
A committee consisting of brothers
Tucker, Freeman and Williams were
appointed to airange the order of con
ducting the meeting.
The first lesson was led by Bro-
Mullens for thirty minntes.
Miss Emma Barfield presided at the
organ during the first lesson.
Old brother Chambers was ou hand
leading a lesson of thirty minutes.
Everybody knows old brother Pounds,
of Barnesville, he was there. Who
else was there ? Well, judging from
the number of people, wo reasonably
conclude that everybody that lived in a
radius of twenty miles were there.
Old uncle Dick Weems was there, and
uncle Dick Manly.
When it come to feeding the multi
tude, suffice it to say that none went
away hungry. I was told that Nick
Shirey who lives within the incorpo
rate boundries of McDonough, was
down at the singing. I learn that
Henry Carr had the misfortune to get
hip buggy a little damaged by coming in
coutact with a tree, or some other ob
stacle that was most too heavy for his
buggy.
I heard nothing of politics. The
brotherly love that is so clearly mani
fested among us on this annual occas
ion is certainly commendable in any
community.
To-morrow is the day for all Israety
both Jews and Gentiles, to congregate
in McDonough, to hear the the
leaders of the political parties.
There are differences of opinion
among the people as to which party, if
elected, would best serve the interest
of the people at large. Let every
man go and hear for himself, and be
wise as serpents and prudent as couies.
Sept. 5. One Who Was There.
Death of Mrs. Jacob Bernhard.
Mother Bernhard was horn iu South
Carolina on the 12th of November
1810. She came with her parents to
Georgia in 1826, and settled in Henry
county. She was married to Jacob
Bernhard in 1829. In tracing this
brief notice of the life and character of
our old mother and grandmother, let it
suffice to say, she was beloved by all
who kuew her best. She had been
quite feeble for several months, gradu
ally wearing away with the infirmities
of old age. She leaves a large circle
of children and grandchildren to re
member and love the memory of grand
ma. She died on the evening of the
29th of August 1892, at ‘the home of
her daughter, Mrs. F. W. Allen. Quite
a large crowd of frieuds aud relatives
attended the burial.
Mother Bernhard was loug a mem
ber of the Lutherau church. She
sleeps well after life’s stormy voyage.
Peace to her slumbering dust.

“John met me at McDonough yester
day aud we had a big democratic
crowd—it was a whale. I told John if
he could prove one single assertion he
had made against the democratic party
I’d join the third party, and he said I’d
make a good recruit. But he could
say no more. He was given au hour
and a half to speak. He spoke forty
minuets and said that there were too
many democrats for him.
“What mattered it ?” Colouel Liv
ingston thundered, “if the crowd was
against him ? If every man in front of
me was against me, I’d stand right here
and fight you for principle.”—Living-1

Ho! for Florida —the Healthful, Sunny Land where Far
mers are now making from $250 to SIOOO per acre, rais
ing Vegetables and Fruits for northern and local markets.
Crops made in mid-winter, and the products sold at enormous prices. Lands make
from 1 •»() to four hundred bushels of tomatoes per acre, which sell at $4 to s(> per bushel;
from 400 to 700 bushels of onions, which bring from s*2 to $2.50 por bushel: SIOOO per
acre made on pineapples; S7OO on an acre of strawberries. The farmer is only engaged
five months in the year making Ins crops—and those five months when the weather is
soft and baimy. For seven months he has the pleasure of fishing and hunting. The
streams are teeming with the finest fish and the forests abound with all kinds of game.
Quoting from a letter writ-ten to myself by Mr. D. B. Bivins, formerly of Hampton,
now ot Bartow, Fla., he savs: “I have been here for a number of years and know this
to be the most healthful climate in the world. People afflicted with all kinds of diseases
come here, and oir climate is a panacea for all their ills—they come .sick ami go awiy
cured. ” The same authority says a neighbor of his sold S7OO worth of strawberries from
an acre. Another sold $450 worth ot onions from of an aero. And again a fr entlem tti
engaged in raising tomatoes sold $.">000 worth from 10 acres this sc is >11,” an l his a con
siderable number yet to sell. Mr. A. A. Sabers, agent of the Ga. So. & Fla. R. R., in
formed us that hist season a friend of his sold S7OOO worth of truck from 20 acres, and
that some acres in pineapples brought $1000!
Fellow sufferers, this beats raising 0 cents cotton. Here you work twelve months
and barely “make buckle and tongue meet/’ Toil work hard, live hard, and it’s a foot
race between you and “Hard d inu-s” to keep nut of del t. Jn Florida vour work is light
and pleasant. In five months you have made your crops, sold them and have the money
in your pocket. Then you have the balance ot the year to devote to pleasure or amuse
ments —fishing, hunting, boating, etc.
