Co in iu u n ic u t ed.
Mr. Editor : —Will you please oblige
me with space for the consideration of
a subject which I think worthy tbe
attention of everybody in Heury couu
ty, namely : The quarterly conventions
of the Heury County S. S. Association
These conventions are held for the pur
pose of building up, and to aid iu the
progress of the Sunday School cause
throughout the county. A noble pur
pose indeed, for none hut scoffers and
infidels will deny that the Sunday
school is one of the grandest institution 8
iu the world. But a moment’s consid
eration will convince most any one that
these conventions ought to do much
good. What we wish to do at this time
is to call attention to the fact that up
to now they have accomplished but little
if anything at all, aud find if possible
some of the reasons why :
On Sa'urday, Oct. 13th, at the Pr s
byteriao church in McDonugh. Among
the hand full present at the convention
there was only one superintendent,
while several superintendents irom dif
fereut parts of the county were seen
walking around in town. There were
present two delegates from Flippen,
one from Salem, one from Bethany and
one from pleasant Hill. It really seems
that most of tbe Sunday schools in the
county? had gone fishing, or to see newly
purchased possessions, or to prove oxen,
or had married wives that were more
interesting thau the Sunday School
convention. There were present 3 of
the executive committee, 2 field work
ers and one vice president. Suppose
all the rest of the officers of tbe Asso
ciation wore otherwise engaged. Our
president was too busy to be on band,
likewise our secretary and treasurer
The chaplain, we suppose, was off
preaching, our orgauist simply forgot,
aud the chorister had other songs to
sing.
Such indifference will kill anything.
If I was a young lady not over thirty,
aud young meu paid no more attention
to me than this Sunday School pays to
this convention, 1 would expect to live
an old maid the balance of my days.
Now we are taught that it is better to
suggest a remedy than to discover a
fault. The remedy is to take more in
terest iu this work. With tenderest
regard for the feelings of all, we should
take more interest in it, or show that it
is uuimportant and impractical,or get of
the way and let other men who have
morebraiu and energy,more religion aud
more time to devote to this cause, offi
cer the convention aud make it more
successful. All this applies to myself
as much as it does to any one else.
I believe that the officers of the As
sociation are all good men (except the
organist) bat with regard to th s work
they are like the seed which fell among
thorns. The cares of this world choke
them and they become unfruitful. Ev
ery one of us ought to think enough of
our Lord and Master to sacrifice our
own personal interest in order to aid in
the advancement of His kingdom among
men. The scriptures utter words a
thousand times more powerful than
anything I might say on this line. A
few quotations from them and I will
close:
“Ye cannot serve God and mammon,”
“Where your treasure is there will
your heart be also.”
“Tbe love of money is the root of
all evil.”
“To him that knoweth to do good
and doeth it not to him it is sin.”
“What shall it profit a man if be
shall gain the whole world and lose his
own soul.”
“Not slothful in business ; feryent in
spirit; serving the Lord.”
“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,
do it with thy might.”
“And let ns not be weary in well
doing: for in due season we shall reap
if we faint uoi.”
Be sure to remember tbe meeting the
first Saturday iu November, at tie
court house, iu the oillce room of Mr.
Daniel, aud come and helppiau for bet
ter worl and better success.
Faithfully aud lovingly yours,
Field Woukeu.

Superior Court.

tral road for $20,000 theu consumed a
day and a half, resulting iu a .SI,OOO
verdict for plaintiff—motion for new
trial. Only minor cases remained ou
the civil docket, aud as we go to press
the prospect is that court will adjourn
from Friday till Monday, wheu the
criminal docket will be takeu up and
probably consume all of next week, as
four or five murder cases are to be di«
posed of. Judge Hammond, of ’.he
Griffin city court, has presided most of
the time for Judge Roagau, iu disquali
fied cases..
A large crowd was pre«ent Monday.
Catarrh Cannot t»e Cured

not reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must

Cure is not a quack medicine. It was
prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this couutry for years, aud is a reg
ular prescription. It is composed of
the best tomes known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
