The True Citizen. WAYNESBORO, OAFRIDAY. JULY 14, 1882 Filtered at the post office at \\ aynesboro, Ga., as second class matter. Special Correspondence of The Citizen. “J. S. 1-t.” IK NEW YORK. New Yobk, July 10th, 1882.—A promise to write you an ocoaviotml recurs to n.i ut the time, and having a few leisure moment s < ill hand, I take pleasure In complj itipr. At last 1 am in New York, the (treat metropo lis. The noise, the bustle, the confusion, the din, the hurry and the steam of the great city, is around and upon me in its direst intensity.— What a city! Upon every hand is heard the clang and the clamor, the rush and the roar, the tumult and the tempest, which belongs to and is a part of the great and only Gotham. New York is verily a world within a world: one glance down its crowded tin roughfares will convince even the most skeptical on this point. The ner vous, restless crowd, swaying excitedly hither and thither, each intent upon his or her own mission, affects .lie calm spectator peculiarly : for there is something in a tumultuous throng, in an anxious sea of human faces ami expres sions, tliat strikes the beholder with more than ordinary feeling. As I stood for a few. brief moments this afternoon upon historic ^roadway, and gazed away down upon tin; sea of solemn faces that swelled and swayed in their dlfferei t courses, a spirit of sadness, indefinable and un accountable, crept upon me, while a sense of pity ami commiseration’ stole over my being, flat I find mvself diverging from the original plan of my letter, which I intended should be discriptive of the voyage. As von are aware, I left Waynesboro on the evening of July 7th. Scarcely had I boarded the train, which was to convey me to Milieu and thence to Savannah, when 1 recognized Un familiar face of Judge T. M. Berrien, who was upon his way to Millen on a business mission. And right here T will take occasion to remark that I am much indebted to thekindly fate which afforded me the pleasure ol his company down the road; for ere we had reached his destined point, the Judge recognized the face of a hand some young lady, a former acquaintance of his at one of the Georgia springs, and renewing the fellowship formed in the halcyon days of “aul long syne,” h • hastened to introduce the writer. I found that she, in company with a sister and friend, were destined for Kew York, via the City of Augusta, and that the forthcoming voy age would prove their first, venture at sea. In view of a contemplated and predetermined attack of “sea-sickness” on my part, tills fact afforded me much consolation.' The party so happily met with, were from Augusta, and prov ed the most agreeable of companions the entire way. We reached Savannah safely rhe following morning, and found our steamer lying beautiful ly at vest loading for the voyage. When the hour of departure arrived, one hundred and three passengers had boarded, and amid the waving of handkerchiefs and the bidding of “good-byes," the steamer cut loose from the wharf, and dropped leisurely down the river. A run of two horn’s brought us to the bar, and soon we were upon the mysterious, sad and solemn sea, steering due Norin, off the Carolina coast. When the bell announced the bom of dinner, we all assembled for the til’s! time at our respective seats at the festal hoard. Upon every there was a look of joy and pleasure antiei- <1. Supper ere long was upon us, and I jl hesitate to say that there wa- a eonsider- ! dimimtt 'ol\ and at the dining on the follow .day ) solemnly declare that . iit. of twenty sat at.table number two, them were only ten present.. Causes unknown ! long the many passengers, we formed quite y little crowd, who proved close oompau- ilR the.entire journey. Reinforced by my lady companions, who came in as a relief, I was well and Pleasantly entertained. Tlio weather was l»il®ply exquisite the entire way, and nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of the trip. Sailing .under tloudh ss skies, and on a starlit sea. every thing passed off only too quickly anti pleasantly. The morning promenades upon the deck, and the evening chat in Social Fall were among the pleasant incidents and episodes. This hurried account brings me to the end of my voyage—the landing in N. Y. Bay. And here I will say a hasty good-bye for the present, promising to gtv_e you another soon. I will probably go down to Washington Wednesday or Thursday. J. S.

Jennie Lb uHc Fa'nier, youngest child of Prof. James Elmore Palmer, deceased, and Mrs. Mary Weaver PuIitkt, wns born in Grecnesboro. Ga.', ■November I4tb. 1859, and died in Waynesboro, i a., June 2(9 b 1882. Almost from the time that she npuld vroik, until she was stricken down by her last illness, she was connected with the Sun day School, and none ever held the privilege higher esteem, or more faithfully improved its instillations. V, hen very young she joined the church, and to the day of her death gave the most unquestionable evidence in hi r walk and conversation of the renewing and sanctifying rower of Divine Grace : proof stronger than pro fession, or argument, of the possibility of living a -lifo “hid with Christ in God.” Tn purity^rf mind, gentleness and sweetness of temper, temtev regard for the feelings of others, and undividing loyalty to conscience. Jennie has left us an example worthy of the praise and emulation o all. Too timid and modest to be demonstrative, Rhe yet impressed all who knew horthat relip ion was to her more than a mere creed, ora subject for study and admiration— that it was transforming power, and an inspira tion of life. She has entered into rest: but her pure and beautiful life will ever speak to us in language of comfort and encouragement. Thertfore, Renoheil, That while we accept her removal from among us as a dispensation full of mercy and love to her, and bow with unmurmur ing submission thereto, we feel that our school has lost one of the most earnest, faithful and lie- loved pupils ; tho church one of its purest and loveliest members, and society one whose modest yv'Vth and irreproachable character were above ail price. ao. That we will cherish her memory with fond and constant admiration and affec- to place it as a welcome visitor at the fireside of every reading family in the county. We will give two weeks no tice to all whoso subscriptions are ex piring by placing a cross mark on tho margin, and as we would regret, to drop a single name from our hooks, we hope every one of our old friends will renew. * SULLIVAN BROTHERS, Publishers. —From every portion of the State comes the most glowing reports of the crops Providence has blessed our peo ple wiWi abundant seasons everywhere, and once more is the heart o( the far mer made glad.
