County.
Dear Members of our Woman’s Christian
Union, Mothers and Junior Members, we
f reet you in Christ and in the lore of our
'ather today.
Our hearts oveillow in gratitude to him
for what his love, breathing into our
hearts the spii it of his love, has wrought
lor him.
Sometimes our Heavenly Father in love
to his children lays upon human hearts
the burden of souls; sometimes he fills
human hearts with an intensity of in
quiry to know what is their duty to him
in the uift of their immortality and their
humanity, and to fulfill that perfect wil’.
The Christ command, ‘"Feed my lambs,
feed my sheep,” stirs in mother hearts an
intensity of longing to seek the spiritual
welfare of their children, that they, with
us, in holiness of life may know and do
his will.
An open door has been found to large
opportunity, and mothers rejoice that they
can strive together and help each other to
save the preoious souls intrusted to their
care.
‘•Jesus of Nasxreth has been passing by,”
and has looked down in tender love to
gather his lambs into bis fold
Eighteen months ago to lay four mothers
knelt in prayer and pledged their labors to
thia Christian Union work. It was then
adopted in all its leading features by writ
ten resolutions, and at the close of the
meeting the Father’d benediction was sup
plicated by the pastor of one of our village
churches. A home altar consecrated our
first meeting.
A little over a month following, this
Christian T/uion work having invited^ and
received the earnest co-operation of Chris
tians of different denominations, it wa“, on
the EClh of April, 1887, formally adopted,
and the Woman’s Christian Union for
Home and Foreign Missions of Twiggs
county, G», was publicly organiz'd by
members of the different church denomi
nations of our county.
■With my heart so deeply interested in
our Christian Union Mission, I find it im
possible to meet yon, on this our first
annual day, with words of cold, busi
ness formality. According _ to the
spirit and design of our work, this day set
apart f r the presentation and encourage
ment and furtherance of our work, in
active mis-ion efforts by all the branches
of our nnioj, demands in its opportuni
ties. as well as its duties, a double respon
sibility: one of faithfulness to God and
ono to these mothers and children who
constitute our Cliri-tian Union.
To report faithfully our work, under
taken in so much consecration of pur
pose, In its spiritual results,
would require the messuring
1 ir-1- of the Father’* love reaching down to
liltlepilgrims in heavenly pathways, reach
ing down to older pilgrims in the dusty
ways of life, where lie the rocks for stumb
ling feet, and earth-cares Mind the vision
to holy tssksto the master’s foot-prints.
We should he unjust to these dear sis
ters whose active service and earnest sym
pathy have bee- rf">< '■-> • ir mission
work, toour >.-^4.0.,!.. ,,jo iove and
serve our common cause, and to these
little ones cradled in our love,
who confess tho love of Jesus in their
lives, if we did not hclievo that practical
Christianity, gospel mission, has received a
strong impulse among us from our united
efforts. Vet w« have not done all we
wi-lied, all that was designed in our home
mission.
Our floral work, in the conception of
our Christian Union Mission, constituted a
community of lalxir for Christ, the moth
ers together and their children, the chil
dren in loving fellowship, keeping by the
mothers' side.
' We must regret that the beautiful mis
sion woik which was meant to fill young
lives, a daily thank-offering to God, a
daily leading to him, learning and loving
his service, lias not been made so attrac
tive, eo much an industrial feature, fur
nishing labor for willing hands and
lienrls as was designed.
It was originally intended that floral
awards should encourage missionary
effort, a rose reward, s pansy reward, a
violet reward, nnd others of flowers and
seed encouraging our most distant Sabbath
ichools en<l young people to united
efforts with us. and over $7 worth of seed
was distributed before our first floral ex
hibition.
It was evident, because of the difficulty
of. procuring our seed in time and the
riot space (r<
in earnest prayer that the sun of liiu love
may never set upon cur Christian Union
efforts.
The proceeds of our floral mission exhi
bition having been apportioned, four fifths
to our home mission, our local work, and
but one-fifth to foreign missions, umii our
Sabbath-schools shall be furnished with
libraries, we can report but $18.20 to for
eign missions—one-half to Baptist, one
half to Methodist. This does not equal
our desires, but we trust to an increase in
the future. We are slow in our work—
iate laborers in the Master’s vineyard; but
rejoice todiy that we are there:
that he who trod the wine press of the Fa
ther’s wrath fur us alone in the agony of
the garden, in the agony of the cross, per
mits us to diare the burden of his cruss,
the sin pardoned for them to whom sal /a-
tiou is unknown.
A century ago there was no English
Protestant mission in the world; now there
are thousands of mission societies even in
our land, and 150 missions in heathen
lands—gale-ways of light to the fields of
darkness and the graves of night.
Bt. Paul was shipwrecked as his chained
feet crossed the sea to the heart of the pa
gan world; but we rejoice today in his ex-
cullcnl exclamation: “The wool of God
is not bound.” All the centuries since
know that theie was no shipwreck to St.
Paul’s mission to Borne, though he drank
the Savior’s cup, a witness fur him. He
has left a message for us, it is the Christ-
message: “Praying always that ye may be
accounted worthy of your calling:” “tc
ye therefore followers of God, as dear
children, and walk in love, as Christ also
hath loved ns, and hath given himself for
us an offering and a sacrifice to God.”
We append a summary of the treasurer’s
nnd librarian’s reports.

ANARCHV IN HAYTI.
brief space from the conception of the
work, that we could not more than pre
sent it the first year.
Unfavorable cirrumstancts prevented
a large floral exhibit of work on tlie sec
ond floral mistioi exhibition and 8ab-
bath school union celebration. Our
floral work,' in its beneficent design
will fail to incite tho yonng to a love of
mission work, for which it was instituted,
unless the mothers unite in earnest efforts
to give it BUv'cesj. Let our awards invite
the children of all our Sabbath schools,
tho young throughout our county, to union
effort for Christ. It ix a lesson written in
the b’.ood which flowed from Calvary that
sacrifice, the measure of the Fathers per
fect love, is the measure of perfect accept
ance with him. Only in blessing may we
he blessed.
Iu what loviug patience should this be
taught to the little ones in Christ.
•They are such tiny Let,
They turn gone so ah >n . war to meet
The years, which are required to break
Their steps to evenness and make
Them go <
More sure and slow;"
“They may uot be here by and by."
Give them heavenly guiding, the Christ-
love breathing through our lives to bless
and perfect theirs. Make their labor love
wi.h love’s sweet praise.
And so wo reach our stork; to paint
beauty's soul to the young with truth, to
make vir ue loved and holiuei* sought,
because only they who wear bU spotless
robes of purity can see the Father’j face.
If home u the nur.ery of heaven, the Sxb-
bath school with its consecrated teaching
a jnthway leading heavenward, if men
and books are alike our teachers and the
moral atmosphere we breathe comes from
the printed pages, as well as from the
silent influence of human actions, what
should not bo our efforts to fill our homes
and our Babbath schools with all-holy in
fluences, ail-holy teachings?
Our Sabbath school libraries are meant
tO' hallow lives, to hallow hooics. The
mission wo^'in which the three branches
of our Christian Union are engaged has as
“?• °[ it* primal features Sabbath school
aid, the furnishing uf libraries of religious
hooks to all the churches in our county.
At the beginning of our work, so far as
we caa Jearu. ibere were but two Sabbath
school libraries in our connty, and many
of the volumes of these bad become
Ured.
In the spsce of a little over a year the

Ssipitals Condition of A-airs—A ITnot-
dentlal Election Farce*
New York, Nov. 27.—Thataffairg ire
in n rather unsettled slate at present in
Hayti is well known, says a New York
dispatch to the Pittsburg Chronicle Tel
egraph.
Just what the condition is Me'irs. Lord
At Austin got some idea yesterday from a
statement forwarded to them by their
agent, J. D. Metzger, from Port au Prince.
The statement is a detailed account of
the progress of affairs at Hay li from the
time of Solomon’s downfall to the present.
Up to the night of the 'assassination of
Geo. Telemaoue the story as it has been
published. From that tithe it runs as fol
low- :
11 “A largearmy is ns’embUngbclween St.
Marie and Port au Prince with the object
of taking the latter place. At the sun e
time the Legitimists, having two gunboats
at command and trying to force the North
into submission by blockading their ports,
arc also collecting an army to meet and
repulse the one marching on Port au
Ptince. The latest phase of this affair, and
ono which no doubt will be a costly one
for Hayti, has been the so-called seizure
of the American steam*hip Haytian Be-
public. The latter, making its regular
tour along’he coast, had entered the port
of St. Marie, not knowing the existence of
a blockade, and not being prevented from
entering, wan stopped on leaving the pxrt
by the itaytDn gunboat Dessaline., and
order® 1 to proceed to Pjrtau Prince. She
was liieu towed into ths inner harbor,
anchor.d, ai d Haytian guards were put
on Board.
“It U the intention of the Legitimists to
confitcat? the ship and make a gunboat of
her. Some of the most prominent leaders
of that party express themselves in
gard ta the ma ter as follows: ‘Wc are in
a desperate condition. We must have
gunboats, in order to blockade the west
ern ports effectually. If wc w in we can
well afford to pay for the ship and the
damage which the United SLates govern
ment may iletqaml. If wc lose, the other
party will have to pay.’ Mr. Thompson
the American minister, has protested
against the outrage, both against the
American flag and against American citi
zens, but, there being no man-ot-war here
now to back him up, the American steel
cruiser Boston having departed from here,
no attention has been paid to his demands.
“Tnere arc in all eighty-six elector*,
two-thirds of that number being nccessxry
for the election of President. Now, after
the assassination of Gen. Teletnaque 011
the night of September 23, Gen. Legitime
tried every means to induce the electors
to come to Port au Prince in order to go
through the form of being elected Presi
dent legally. He sent the gunboats to all
ports to collect them, offering them large
* of money to iiiij iLcoa Ostir. Coil
twenty-seven could be induced to assemble
at Pert au Prince, which clearly shows
that the remaining fifty-nine were against
him. Mr. Thompson, onr minister to
Hayti, has ignored the ‘Haytian Court’
which condemned the Haytian Kepublic
"Muvli it.ulf !j in ft a lata nf ennenltn
contempt of court. The Gig should
have been taken down, and under j
the circumstinces of the case, at he under- j
stood them, the Haytian author tes would
have lie n j istified 'll forcibly taking it ’
down. Consul Ba-sett then went on to
say that Cap:. Compton must have been |
fully aware of the fact that revolution was
on foot, for he had just c mpleted a trip
to Jacmel and back to St. Mari*, and had
on lltt way touch.d at ports which them
selves were in rebellion, and the consul
did not think that ignorance of the fact
can be pleaded by them a3 an excuse.
The consul thought it was a clear case
against the vessel. She forced the block
ade and really took as much part in the
rebellion as if she had been taking part
with the insurgents or if she had been
owned bv them. As for Ministtr Thomp
son, said the consul, he could have been
present at the pr za court had he chosen to
do so, for he was summoned both verbally
and by subpceoa.

A Minute Descrlptlou of the Whitechapel
Murderer.
From tho Fall Mall Gizotlc.
Last evening a man named George
Hutchinson, a groom, who is now working
as a lalnrer, made tho following statement
to a r porter, and his description of the
murderer agrees in every particular w tit
that already furnished by the police and
pilbli-htM yesterday mornitg.
“O.i > bursday l had been to Romford,
and 1 returned from there about 2 o’cl .ck
on F.iday morning, having walked all the
way. I canto down Whitechapel road iDto
Commercial street. As I passed Thrawl
street I passed a man stanoirg at the
corner of the street, and as I went toward
Flower ar.d and I ean streets I met the
woman Kelly, whom I knew very well,
having been iu her company a number of
times. Bite said: ‘Mr. ifulchimon, can
you lend me fid?’ I said, ‘I can not,
os I am spent out, going down to Rom
ford.’ She then wa ked on toward Thrawl
atm”, saying: T muBt go and look for
some money.’ The man who was stand
ing at the corner of Thrawl street then
came toward her, put his hind cut her
shoulder, and said something to her wbi:h
I did not hear; they both burst out laugh
ing He put Jiis hand again on her
shoulder, and they both walked on to the
corner of Fashion - street, near the public
house. As they canto by me his arm was
still on her shoulder. He hail a soft felt
hat on, and this was drawn down some
what over his eyes. I put down my head
to look him in the face, and lu; tnrncd nnd
looked at me very sternly. They walked
across the roa 1 to Dorset street. 1 followed
them across, and stood at the corner of
Dorset street. They stood at tho rorner
of Miller’s court for about three minutes.
Kelly spoke to the man in a loud voi:o,
saying: ‘1 have lo-t my handkerchief
He pulled a red handkerchief t ut of his
pocket and gitvo it to Kelly, and they
went up the court together. I went to
look up the court to sec if I could sec
them, but Could not.
“1 stoodtliero for three-quarters of au
hour to sec if they came down again, but
they d d not, and so I went away. My
suspicious were aroused by seeing the man
so well dressed, hut I had no suspicion
that he was the murderer. The man was
about 5 f.el 6 inches in height and about
34 or 35 years of age, with dark com
plexion, and dark tncustaclie turned up at
the ends. He was wearing a long dark
oust, trimmed with asirsciian, a whiiecui-
‘ar, with black necktie, in which was af
fixed a horneshoe pin. He wore a pair
of dark ‘spa s’ with light-buttons.

Hayti itself is in a state of anarchy,
there being no regular government, court
or anything else. A parcel of hoodlums
assembled and cons .iluted themselves a
prize court, as if it were a foregone con
clusion that the ahip would be condemned.
There is no reason why the United States
government should recognize the Legitime
party as the goternment of Hayti, any
more than the Northern party under Gen.
Hippolyte. The country is simply in a
state of anarchy, and there is no protection
for either life or property.”
Cenaul Bassett was teen yesterday, but
had heard nothing further about the mat
ter, and was waiting dispatches by
steamer. In regard to the refusal of the
captain of the Haytian Republic to lower
the American flzg when seized, he said
that tbe refusal to do so when requested
by the Hajtisn authorities was, inter
nationally considered, nothing lets than
over button boots, and displayed
from his waiFtcoat a massive gold
chain. His watch chain had a big seal
with a red stone hanging from it. He had
a heavy mouetjche, curled up, dark eyes
and bushy eyibrows. He bid no tide
whiskers and his chin was cloan shaven.
He looked like a foreigner. The man car
ried a small parcel in his hand about eight
inches long and it had a strap round it.
He had it tightly grasped in his left band.
It looked as though it-was covered with
dark American cloth. He carried in his
right hand, which he laid upon the
woman's shoulder, a pair of brown kid
glover. One thing I noticed, and that was
that ho walked very eoftly."
A paragraph in the morning papers
states that the police have received from
Mr. Samuel O.borne, tbe wire-worker, 20
Garden Row, London road, a statement to
the effect that he was walking along
Paul’s churchyard, ycitcrday, behind i
spettably-dressed man, when a parcel
wrapped in anewspap-rfellfron. the man’
coal. Oiboroo told him that he had
dropped something, but lit® man d
that the parcel bolonged to him.
Osborne picked up tho parcel,
and ' found that it contained
knife having a peculiarly- Bhaped
handle and a thick blade, 6 or 7 inches
long, with stains upon it resembling
blood. The parcel also contained a brown
kid glove, smeared with similar stains on
both sides. Otborne found a constable
and together they searched for the niys
terious individual, but without succes-*
The parcel, says tho paragraph, was
handed to the city police authorities,
* who, however, attach no importance to
the matter.” What on earth could be
more important, after the statement mad’
by the man Hutchinson and quoted above?
Honey tn Florida.
Professor G. W. Webster before the Inter
national Beekeepers’ Association.
There is about as much trouble in win
tering bees |here as there jh in the North
ern states, owing. I think, to the many
mild days during the winter which tempt
bees abroad when there is nothing for
them to get. The bees become chilled or
worn out and fail to return Our exoeri
ence here has been a yield of from forty
to fifty pounds of extracted honey per
colony, the seasons varying as they are
cold or warm, wet or dry. Bee-keeping
ueay tbe coast, in the mangrove
region, is entirely a different afl>»ir,
and requires diflerent methods. Before
the great freeze of three years ago, verv
large yields were sometimes obtained.
Several beekeepers reported a yield of over
300 pounds each from their best colonies;
and tometimes whole apiaries yielded an
average of oyer 200 pounds per colony.
1 he freeze killed muen of the mangrove,
and there are probably not over one-fourth
of the bees.there now that were then. The
mangroves slowly recovering from the
effects of the freeze, and during the past
reason some apiaries have done fairly
w ?^* great trouble feeras to be in
wintering the bees so a* to have plenty of
workers when the mangrove is in bloerem,
which is not generally before the middle
of June, and lasts until some time in Au
gust.

President ard Mr*. Cleveland Will Spend
the Summer In Kurope.
From tbe Washington Star.
The peopiewno have been engaged in
mapping out Mr. Cleveland’s future for
him, when he shall have ceased to be
President, can now base their prognostica
tions on something tangible. On un
doubted and indisputable authority it can
be stated that Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland will
go abroad vert shortly after they hid farc
ell to the While House. This trip has
been contemplated by Mrs. Cleveland ever
ince her marriage to the President, but
the idea was not encouraged, to any ex
tent, by him. He had never been abroad;
in fact, had never even seen the beauties
and wonders of the United Stales, so he
was not favorably impreised with his
bride’s proportion. Bince the elec
tion his views have undergone a decided
change, an I as Mrs. Cleveland discoursed
in her pretty way of the marvelous things
which the had seen in Europe, and which
she desired togaz: upon once more, he be
came a convert, and is now not only will-
Question* nnd Retort*.
From the Baltimore Run.
The New Y’ork Tribune is very desirous
that the new administration, when itcomes
luto pOnUi Bit nit neat VigOFOuotjr n till ims
South on the alleged ground of its sup
pression of the negro vote. To prove the
extent of that suppression, it states that by
the last census there wero 238,532 males
twenty-one years of age and over in Mis-
sissinpi, and yet at the last election the
total vote was only 116,000." It then asks
if anyone believes there was a Me vote
and an honest count? Quoting the Tri
bune’s statements, the 8pringficld (Msrs.)
Republican, an independent journal of
that party, retorts: “It may possibly bo
germane to thia subject to say that the
male population of Rhode Island twenty-
one years and over in 1885 was 85,727, and
yet the vote at the last election was only
40,783. Frofn these figures the unpreju
diced observer would be apt to declare
that the pathway to the polls was no more
thorny in far-away Mississippi than it ii
in near-by Rhode Island.” We might
ask, in addition to those pertinent
questions another that is equally peril
ing but anxious to hravo the inconventerce . . ...
of seasickness and the perils of the deep in newt. Is it a greater wrong to suppress

The vote of the state was bought, and
under any proper condition of public
senlimcDt in that state, the court and
juries of every county would be occupied
for some time to come in investigating tho
charges and punishing tho offenders.
With respect to New York, Mr. Eliot F.
Shephard of the republican Mail and
Express, has publicly declared in its
columns that jnst before tho election
$150,000 were distributed to certain lead* r*
to buy labor and Irish votes. Mr.
Bbephard, though known to he a very
pious man, dees not complain of the act
of bribery, but that the returns for the
money expended did not "pan ont well.”
In other words, that too much of the
money stuck to the fingers of the men who
were to distribute it.

Progress Indeed.
From tbo Baltimore Sun.
In October, 1864, eight Ilebtew mer
chants met in a New Y’ork restaurant and
formed themselves as a Hebrew Social
Club. It is now tho Progreis Club, and
numbers 350 members. On Wednesday the
laying of the corner stone of the new head
quarters of the club took place upon the
site of the building on the northeast cor
ner of Fifth and Sixty-third streets. The
gioUiiJ, which U a pint 100 feet zqUafC,
cost $235,000, upon which, by Oct. 1, next,
the club will have erected a magnificent
structure which will have cost, when it is
furnished as their home, about $265,000
more, or $500,000 altogether, including the
ground.

From the Sparta I*hrna*lite.
Maj. Campbell Wallace has again been
confirmed as railroad commissioner for the

There isn’t a truer, better one above

much of its efficiency to his wise sugges
tions and untiring watchfulness in the
public interest. The Ishmaclite pits its
faith to Maj Campbell Wallace and stands
by tho railroad commission.
