Waycross. Mr. Davis claims that he committed the crime with which he stands accused, in self defence, and asks tlie people’s prayers that his prosecutors’ hearts may be softened to give him only Justice. Surely, a just God will hear prayer for justice, and if this is all the young man aks we con fidently expect his acquittal. This, again, goes to shoirwhat^reputa- tion Waycross ha* as a centhsfo- prayer. Even the loucly prisoner, shut off from the world, has read of Waycross, and wants our prayers. BE TOLD THE TRUTH.

Church, of this place, and one of the most respectable colored men of the community, is agitating the subject of building a Seminary here for the education of the colored people. His views in this direc tion are broad. He claims that if the colored people are provided yvith the means of education they will make better citizens, be of more benefit to themselves and a help to the county at large. This is nothing more nor less than we have said* and wo sincerely hope Parson Allen may find eomo per son willing and able to help him emancipate his race from the dark, ers of ignorance, for where there are no graded institutions of learn ing the progression of any and every people show a desire, and a tendency that cannot be denied, to retrograde. Let there be no back ward movement in this matter. for the people of Coffee connty to pay for a paper in which the legal advertising was done. He told the truth, and the officers took the hint at once, for the legal advertis ing was transferred to the Head light. We feel grateful to our buddie, for his advice in the prem ises.

They were received and paid for, and, when our informant was in town some weeks ago, he was realizing ten dollars per day killing and skin ning birds. UNION 8.8. JUBILEE.

FKABSON. This was our old home. We lived there long enough to leam to love the people, and to note their posperitv and advancement gives us pleasure. Wc went up there last Sunday to hear Rev. Mr. Eth ridge preach, in the commence ment of a protracted meeting, this, being also, his regular appointment at that place. We found, on arrivoh the neat 111 tie church pretty full, among them familiar and strange faces. The sermon was a good one —a regular missionary sermon, which had the effect of producing the desired result for it softened the hearts of the young divine’s hear ers, and caused the good people of that place to contribute handsome ly toward the missiouary fund. The assessment for that church was $26,55, for this year, and $51,- 45 even, was subscribed and some of that amount paid over, making $24,95 more than was called for, or nearly double the assessmsnb This is an improvement ia the right direction, and shows that the church is in a healthy condition.
