A newspaper is not infallible.

If you don’t you can work the problem out in the following manner: Take two town sites; let one be a beautiful location, witli all the natural advantages possible, and the other none of these. Take 500 old fogies and misers —men who do not be lieve in advertising: men who do not believe in giving capitalists anything for risking their money in their towns —and put them on the good site Then take 500 good, live, energetic, get-up and get fellows, who never let an op portunity pass to advertise themselves and their town, and put them on the poor town site; tlieu watch these two towns for live years and you will very rapidly catch on to the secret of town building.” The Athens Tanner strikes the nail squarely on the head when it objects to people preaching the support of home enterprise and practicing the op posite by buying whatever they inay j need away from home. Every town | may be judged by its merchants. A s | a rule they are among the most public j spirited cilizens. 'There is not an en terprise that is for the good of the community that the merchants do not j take hold of They are large employ ers of help. There profits are, almost i wholly, distributed in the towns from which they are drawn.

To the Worshipful Master, Wardens and Brethren of Fraternal Lodge, No. 37, F. A. M.: Your committee appointed to report upon the death of brother T. C. Notan, lately a member of this lodge, beg leave to report as follows: On the morning of the Bth day of June, 1893, when the orient beams of opening day were chasing the shadows of night away, and the birds their tune ful orisons were mingling with the breath of flowers, the environment of clay dissolved, and the spirit i f our brother arose to Him who gave it. It is sad at all times to realize the ruthless, remorseless, unsparing power of death, hut peculiarly grievous when those we not only love v but respect for their talents, and accomplishments, and fitness for usefulness are taken away in the very prime of manhood. Life is uncertain in this moital sphere, and not only but full of surprises. NVo know not when th • end shall come, nor how; neither can we understand the processes by which we are led, or borne, to the sure ful fillment of God’s decrees. Tlte way 3 of man are devious. Achieve them as lie may, they are, nevertheless, a mystery to himself. If it be his mind to do the right, lie makes a way therefor, and if perchance lie finds success, it is to wonder tiiat lie finds it not iu the way that he himself hath planned, but in some other way, he knows not how. We are blind, as it were, and cannot see afar off, hut there is a super emi nent Intelligence which overlook', and directs our thoughts and actions, and this all supervising Power is the Great Father of us all, who “brings tlio blind by a way they know not, and leads them iu paths they have not known.” He wills our liappitiess in its glory and directness. “I will make darkness light before them, and crooked ways straight,” and His faithfulness is ev> r lasting. “These thing'* will Ido unto them, and will not forsake them ” Thus was it with our dear brother. In his daily communion with his fellow men, gifted as he was, and impelled by a force unseen, but felt, and yel not understood by himself, he often did the work of tile Master all unawares. While in light conversation he may Itave given expression now and then to passing thought to human ken too light ly born, the AUseeiitg and Omnipotent One gave sight and might to the matter involved, and the shaft that was sent bore true to its mark, an apt d mon stratiou of tlte truth of religion—the religion of Christ in its«f>urity here, and its sequel of Glory hereafter. His general bent was the love and aduiira tion of tlte highest type, and the strict est construction of Christian moral ty. Would to God we had many Tinker Nolans to teacli and enforce the beau- tiful lesson of chastity for home anil society ! The world would he better, the-queenhood of home the magnet ol hearts, and life all the happier, and all the more hopeful. While our brother made u i open ex hibition of his religious intentions, no out ever beheld the beauty of holiness in more attractive colors than now and theu, when, iu public discourse, he would ring the changes of its wondrous enchantment iu poesy more than syren. God used him for llis own wise purpo ses, and while he was yet unconscious thereof, it may have been, the sun stood still for the battle of the soul, till hal \ lowing victory ended the stiife. “There’s a Divinity which shapes i our ends, rough hew them how wo j may.” It is pleasing to us to know : that when the grim monster, Death, approached him, he was shorn of his | terrors—was a friendly messenger to .call him from lalmr to refreshment— a peaceable janitor to unlock the portal -1 of eternal life. In the River of Eile arc many Falls, dangerous, more or less. Upon its j smooth bosom lloals many a craft full laden with hope, when, all unexpected, the rapitls are reached, whose turbulent waters eugulph and destroy, and above their dismal roar is either heard the j # ! shriek of despair or pa-au of triumph Thankful are we that on that peaceful : morn, when '.he storms of Time’s nav i igation had ceased, our brother tr:ui« ported, could feel the rapture of victo ry which l’aul described: ‘O, death, where is thy sting? <), grave, where is thy victory? Tne sting of death is sin, and the stieugth of siu is the law, hut hanks he to God. which givetli ii< lhe victory through our Lord Jesus j Christ.” He illustrated in his life tiiat he who lives a Mason true will die a Christian I true, far, are thee not the parallel Joints measuring the circle of human existence, and faith’s itig| iration, round ing the old and tlte new dispensations, and crowned with the Word all bright uitli tlte Spirit from Moses to Revela tion? Peace he to thee, Brother l inker! Sleep on till God hid thee arise iu thy glorified humanity. Light and heat are life. Darkness ! and cold is death. To him who is saved there is light and heat the | grand combination power of the resur j ruction. Blessed be the power of light land heat—the newer of God himself! j It is said “there is a natural body, an! | there is a spiritual body.” Light cor responds to Faith, by which we see afar J off the glory we shall have, and bring it near, and Heat corresponds to Love which in its into one many heartß witli I Christ, and when at last the spirit shall j return and from tlte opening toiuhs j “this mortal shall put on immortality,” we shall see tlte same Tinker as we Itave known him, hut shining with the light of an endless transfiguration. We knew him from his boyhood. He grew up in our midst, as it were, in the very lap and nurture of Masonry. His father was a Mason before him. Fortunately for him, he was born, rear ed, and educated iu a time, and coun try, and trcnong a people of not only refined, hut liberal thought, lie was laborious in employment, constant in duty, and faithful in service. Gifted with ati exuberance ot imagination, his poetic tastes lent beauty to labor, and made it a pleasure—not a task. lie was cut down in his prime—for what reason, no mind can divine. It rests alone in the inscrutable providence of God. Iledoeth all things well. He never made a mistake. We cannot re call our brother to our earthly com munion, but if ho he of those who are “sent forth to minister for them who are heirs of salvation,” and we shall exemplify truly tlte principles we pro fess, we may cherish tlte hope tiiat he j still is witli us, although unseen by mortal eye. lie was in his way a useful ’man. Speak in his lighter moments us lie might, there was sometimes something j to bring him around to the living Truth in language most charming, and way most expressive. In some inspects his life was almost a poet's dream, and yet he hat I his faults. If we were called upon to name them, we might find it hard to do so “in toto,” hut certain it is that no matt ever lived without faults, save One. Whatever they may Itave been, let thorn he buried with him, and forgot ten, hut his virttns let tts remember. They shall live and shine as long as tlte sun itself shall shine, and their memory, we trust, soften many a heart to a better life. In conclusion we submit these reso ; lotions: Ist, Be it Resolved, That in the death Bro. 1 Nolan we have lost one of our mobt capable and brilliant m labors. 2d, That we will cheiish liis memo ry, and emulate his virtues, avoiding, if possible, any mistake s, if any he made. 3d, That a page be left in the min utes of this lodge, surrounded by black lines, and devoted to his memory. 4th, That we sincerely condole with his family, and tender them our heart hit sympathy, and pr sent them with a copy of the>e resolutions, with the assurance that i: will ever he our pleas i inv to wait upon their call, whenevei in the Proviiience of 1 'oil it shall Ire so directed.

RcftfeJ S B *®* l\ -easas® lOWuCr ABSOLUTELY PURE CHICAGO LETTER. Dr. anil Mrs. Low Viewing the Sights at the World’s Fair. Editor Wei.kly :—We reached the Hotel Ingram eleven days ago, and are now tired out and broken down sight seeing. Our hotel is at the 60th street enter ance to the Fair, and while we pay a good price yet it is an elegantly kept house. We Itave music every night in the large auditorium, and are crowded witli guests from all poiuts of the coun try. On the first day after our arrival we visited the Midway Plaisauce (French, pronounced in English “Playsonts”). It is over one mile long and dotted on either side witli houses of all the for eign nations, and in each house there ; s a sideshow, many of which we visited, paying from ten to twenty-five cents each. Some were good, others hum bugs. The Moorish Palace I think tlte best of any we saw. The scenery in it was beautiful anil picturesque. In going through one becomes so bewil dered and confused that he can scarcely find his way out. Here we see the iduutical guillotine that beheaded Marie Ant'onette, and many other things of interest, and also hear music that sur passes anything 1 ever listened to. The streets of Cairo and Venice with a fac simile of tlte streets and houses absolutely built and standing as they were three hundred years ago, and many other things were seen by us which we will have to omit describing. In the Midway l’laisance we also rode two rounds in the celebrated and world renowned Ferris Wheel, two hundred and sixty-four feet in diam eter. When at the highest point we might have seen McDonough had our powers of vision been strong enough. It is immense. From seven to ten thosand people ride on it per day, pay fifty cents a head for otto trip. This mammoth wheel was constructed at a cost of $400,000. We visited next the State Buildings. All the states, with a few exceptions, is represented (one of those exceptions being our own state, Georgia). Tlte different buildings cost upon an average from $50,000 to $200,000. It was a big job to take a more glance at the ex hibits in each of those buildings. Cali fomia, I think, made tlte fittest display, and had their different articles more ar tistically arranged than any of the other State buildings. lowa, Illinois and Virginia had beautiful exhibits. The latter (Virginia) had Washington's residence built exactly as it is at Mt. Vernon, with all the furniture, paint ings, musical instruments, etc. You can readily see notv how big a I show this is. We visited the Art Gallery—a place that will have to he seen to he appre ciated. There you see in sculpt ute, painting and bronze the finest works of the ancient masters, and also the more modern works of our artists of Ibis age A fine mathematician has made a cal culation that it will take to give five ! minutes to each exhibit in the Art Gal lery thirteen years to go through it. I ! have not superlatives sufficient to des [ oribejthe hugeness of it, nor is my I language sufficiently intense to convey the immensity of it. The Administra I lion. Government, Liberal Ails, Man ufactures, Trausportation, Electrical and Agricultuial are all very large | bud lings, some of them covering forty acres of ground, and all filled from ' I) ittora to dome with the finest displays [ the world can produce. Tb -re are also many foreign li ivii.g large buildings filled with tb*- finest displays of their countries. The Government building is espcc idly interesting. We see there so many relics of the If vnluiianmy war —Washington's sword, cane and jew elry. iueludi.g his watch; LaFayette’s watch, the sadi he wore and with which he bound a wound teeeived in battle; also a lock of Washington's hair. Au revoir. We uiay remain two weeks longer. Rain plentiful in Chicago. Yours truly, Dr. and Mrs. Low. for W«»k Nervts. 5 CENTS A COPY A Story With a Moral. Rishop A. G. Ilaygood, writing from Oxford, tolls a little story which points to a moral. He writes : “Tom Edwards lives in three miles of Oxford. Years ago I knew him as a careful, thrifty citizen. While presi dent of Emory college I bought from him chickens, eggs, butter, honey and fruit in their season. Ilia start was humble, but be was dilligent and pa tient ; also had foresight. “Yesterday my family had a little picnic on his place. He has 20 acres, most of it light gray land, there is some creek bottoms. He raises some cotton—enough to buy what he and 1 his family must have that they can’t raise. Whatever people or s'oek need to eat Tom Edwards raises at home. I saw fruit treesj well kept; a beautiful vineyard of au acre or more and full of grapes; along a ditch a row of fig trees, a long, low shelter for many col onies of bees, good barns in good shape, a pretty herd of grade Jerseys, fat and sleek, and grass in the meadow to keep them; well stocked fish ponds, from which they catch fish for the ta ble. Chickens thrive under their caro. Sugar and coffee he can’t raise, else ho would do it. How peaceful that homo! I low free from care they seem to be! It was restful to look at them and talk to them. Such men do not want to go to Texas. Such men are not scared out of sleep by the story of broken hanks. They are an honor to our state. They are its mainstay. To Tom Edwards, free citizen, I raise my hat.” “A Corpse Uaptiseil.” Christian Index. In the secular papers of June 8, was printed a dispatch sent out by the as sociated press from Chattanooga, that a dcud man bad been baptized by Rev. J. W. Drennon, in Walker county, Ua. Letters of inquiry have come to us in reference to the affair. Among others the following comes fiom the venera ble Dr. W. 11. Robert: Centerville, Miss, June 10. My Dear Bro:—The N. O. Pica yiino of the Blh inst. contains an ac count of the baptism of Mr. .1. W. Massy, a farmer. The report said, “af ter his death he was immersed with all due form and solemnity, by J. W. Dreunou, in the presence of a great crowd. The dripping body was then coffined and interred.” The act is put. down as occurring at Eagle Cliff; a hamlet on Lookout Mountain, near Chattanooga. 1 was told on the street that it was done by a Baptist preacher. Please answer this in the Index ; 1. Do Baptists teach and practice the baptism of persons after death ? 2. What denominations allow such actions ? 3. Tell us who J. W. Dernnon is, if you can, and to what church he be longs ? This county, and our village espe cially, are taken up by Methodists aud Presbyterians. Please answer and oblige much, Yours fraternally, W. 11. Robert. Immediately on receiving this letter we wroie to the postmaster at Eagle Cliff, asking particulars. The follow ing reply was received : Eagle Cliff, Ga., June 13. In auswer to your first question I will say that there is no Missionary Baptist preacher by the name of Dreu non in this county. 2. Will say that the person baptized was not immersed—only sprinkled by the request of the subject. 3 Yes, there was a dead man by the name of Massy, sprinkled by a Metho dist minister near this place named J. W Drennon, but he did it to satisfy a request made by Massey to his wife before bis death. He told bis wife if lie could not lie baptized before bis d. utb to have it done afterwards at the grave Drennou did not want to ad minister Bapiism, but thought it would impress the people to attend the church and its commands while they were in health. So he sprinkled the corpse at the grave. This is about all I know in regard to the matter. Yours fra ternally, VV. P. Wallin. BuokleiTs Arnica Salve. The Best Salve in the world for cuts.
