Rev. J. -M. Mull Is
Delivered an address in the
courthouse last Sunday to a
large and attentive audience.—
His subject was on the with
drawal of the fellowship of the
church from him. Mr. Mullis
has been a minister of the
Primitive Baptist cliureh fora
long time, when about two years
ago there was some misunder
standing between the church
and himself and fellowship was
was denied, hence the separa
tion. After the meeting was ad
journed the audience was asked
to remain a few moments, when
the following preamble and res.
olntion were offered by Col J. C.
McDonald and others and Vijted
on almost unanimously:
Whereas, Rev. M. Mullis has
this day addressed an audience
in Waycross, explaining his po
sition, opinion, etc., as to his re
moval as a minister from* liis
church. Therefore, be it
Resolved, As members of the
audience who heard his address
that "we believe his iuteutious
are honest and his purposes
pure, and hereby. express our
sympathy for him as a man and
Christian, and recommend, as
non-sectarians that his church
reinstate him to full fellowship
To Our Pa trons.
The year is fast) approaching
its end, and as wc take a .retro
spective glance ofcleven months
that have beeturollcd up on the
reel of time we hope and believe
we have done our duty. We
think we have given you a good
readable, wide-awake paper, at
least we have tried to do so, and
and the long list of subscribers
upon our book is a sufficient
gunrentee that our efforts have
been appreciated. Some of
those subscribers owe us small
sums for subscription, while
equally as maiiy owe us for ad
vertising, job work, etc.—
Through the summer we have
not annoyed them with duns
because we did not feel pressed
for the money, neither do we
stand particularly in need of it
now, but this is generally the
time when a year’3 business
should be settled up, and we
want what is ours- Our office
expenses are cash down, or no
go, so is our ink, paper and
other printing material, all oi
which have been paid that you
might have your paper, work,
etc., and now we want our mon
ey back. Those who find a red
cross on the margin of their pa
per will know they are due us
something, and they are invited
aiid earnestly requested ‘to waltz
to the music’ and settle the bill.
Those who do so will receive a
receipt with our thanks, and a
promise to extend fair treat
ment in future with becoming
accommodations.

Interesting to Ladies.
Our lady readers can hardly
fail to have tlicir attention called
this week to the latest combina
tion of improvements in that most
useful of all domestic implements,
the “sewing machine.”
[ As we ui d rstand it, a machine
for family use should meet first of
a!]l these requirements: It should
l>p simple in its mechanism; it
should run easily; it should do
wide range of work; it should be
a* nearly noiseless as possible; it
should be light, handsome, dura-
and as cheap as is consistent
with ex^Hence throughout.
These conditions the “Light-Run
ning New Home” ccj^ainly meets,
It has also several very important
and useful attachments and “no
tions” of its own, which go far
make good its claims to popular
favor.
The “New Home” specially
recommends itself to purchasers
on account of its superjpr me-
clianicai construction, case of
management and reasonable. Over
half a million have been sold in
the last three years, all of which
are giving universal satisfaction.
This unrivalled machine is manu
factured by the NEW HOME
SEWING MACHINE CO., Orange,
Mass., and 30 Union Square, New
York.
