When you go to Athens to trade
be sure and mention this paper to

We had the pleasure of riding to
Athens in company with Mas. Lau
ra Osburn, of Augusta, last Friday.
As we build up uur schools, and

You will please bear in mind that

Notice the form in this issue upon
which we propose to solicit subscrip

Carnesville Railroad. Come friends,
let's whoop this road up and build is.
Attention stockholders and friends
of the Gazette. Trade with those
who advertise in your paper. Let’s
help those who help us. When you
go in to trade mentiod this paper.
Rev. J. D. Gunnels made a ring
ing speach at Salem Sunday on bring
ing up the finances of the circuit by
the last quarterly meeting, winch is
just one month off. He says if they
can pay out at all they can do it in
the course of another month.
We had preaching Saturday after
noon at A. J. McWliorter’s for Aunt
Hannah Sims’ benefit. She is ninety
odd years old, and is too feeble now
to go the church. She is understood
to be one of the soundest Christian
characters in the country, being
always true to the cause.
Wo spent Sunday and Sunday
night at tbe comfortable home of Mr,
Thomas B. Bruce, who is one of
Banks county’s best citizens. Mr.
Bruce lives only about fifty yards
from the banks of Hudson river, and
the big rain Sunday brought the
water away up towards his front
door. He has an interesting family.
His oldest son is at Emory college
and is taking a high stand among the
hoys.
Mr. R. W. Neal informs us that
someone cut his gin belt in two or
three pieces and broke his engine the
other night. This is a method of
getting even with a fellow that we
hope will never be tolerated in this
country. Who ever did that mis
chief is evidently an enemy to Mr.
Neal, and a cowoardly enemy. A
man has had blood in him who will
do you a secret injury, or will strike
i you uuder the belt.
The Gazktte has one store to
trade at in Harmony Grove, namely,
C. W. Hood & Son, and it has several
in Athens. Now if you want Hood
and your friends in Athens to keep
on advertising and to enlarge their
ads. why trade with them, and men
tion this paper, and let them know
that it pays to advrtise in the Banks
County Gazette.
W r e will give $lO cash to any per
son wno will get up one hundaed
subscibeers to this papsr within the
next thirty days. We will give $5
cash to any person who will get us
fifty subscribers. Of course we mean
subscribers for one year. We believe
there are several young ladies in
Banks county who could easily make
$5 per day working at this business.
Notice.
There will be a bill introduced in
the next legislature entitled an act
to prohibit the sale, manufacture and
delivery of any spirituous or malt
liquors within three miles of Mount
Bethel Methodist church in Banks
county, Georgia. 4t
On Saturday last as the glorious
sun was hiding his brilliant face be
hind the wested hills, and as the low
ing of home-bound cattle reminded
us that the hour was fast approaching
when their voices would be stilled by
the coming shades of night, it was
our pleasure to take a seat in a two
horse wagon, bound for the “city of
Bushville.”
The party en route was composed
of the following gentlemen and
ladies: Messrs. Joe S. flames and
Luther Hill, Misses Decie Stephens,
Laura Borough, Minnie McNorton
and Willie Cox chaperoned by Col.
and Mrs. Oscar Brown.
Our ride down there was a very
pleasant one indeed, the time being
spent mostly in merry talk and laugh
ter this however being occasionally
broken up by a sweet song sung for
the accommodotion of the couple in
the rear end of the wagon, who de
sired a clandestine interview as lovers
often do.
We were received by the Bushville
people with a most hearty welcome
and we’will here say that it was
never our pleasure to be with a more
civil and attentive congregation.
The Rrogramma was as follows:
Ist. Reading by Miss Annie Cart
ledge.
2nd. A speech delivered by young
Mr. Wilbanks. Subject—Courage.
3rd Recitat ion by Miss Lucy Wat
son. Subject—The New Church
Organ.
4th. Recitation by Miss Laura Dor
ough, Subject—Flossie Lane’s Mar
riage.
We then had three speeches that
were not on the programme. The
first being delivered by Professor
Underwood. Subject—Bachelors.
The next by Colonel Oscar Brown,
who endeavored to encourage them
in their noble work as a society.
Then a most excellent address by
Professor Luney, of Carnesville.
Miss Lula Brewer then recited a
a beautiful poem.
All did remarkably well and de
serve much praise for the manner in
which their pieces were rendered.
But we feel that we should make
special mention of Professor Luney,
as it has seldom been our privilege to
listen to a more interesting and in
structive address than was delivered
by this gentleman.
After singing the doxology we were
dismissed with a benediction pro
nounced by Mr. John Cartledge, Jr.
In a short while we were wending
our way homeward, with tho silver
moon fighting our way.
One of the Party.
NOTICE.
All who are indebted to me will
save cost and trouble by settling their
notes and accounts at once. All
who do not settle at once will find
their notes and accounts in the hands
of an attorney for collection.
Respectfully, W. B. Mason.
We saw sometime ago a statement
from Senator Colquitt to the effect
that the preaching of to-day is usually
of too intellectual a character. This
may be true is some quarters, but cer
tainly it has not been true within the
range of our personal observation.
Preaching cannot well be too intel
lectual, provided it be at the same
time saturated with tbe spirit of
Christian love. A great deal of the
“goody-goody.” (-tuff that is uttered
from the pulpit does not contain truth
enough to convert or edify a human
soul. What is generally needed is a
toning up, and not a letting down.

in Memory of Miss Mary Harrison
The reaper Death, with sickle
draw, has again visited one of the
happiest and most cheerful homes of
our land, and plucked from our midst
a much loved flower.
The sweet spirit of Miss Mary Har
rison took its flight to a heaventy
clime, on the night of Sept. 17th.
The slow hand of a wasting fever had
been laid upon her eight weeks pre
vious to her death. During these weeks
of suffering she manifested a spirit of
humble resiguation to her Master’s
will.
She was a cheerful, lovable girl of
sixteen years, just blooming into
young ladyhood, in whom we looked
with anticipation for a life of Chris
tian influence and usefulness.
The Sabbath school was her chief
delight, and during her illness she
frequently begged her mother to let
her go to Sunday school and teach
her much loved class of little girls.
She told her friends that she was
not afraid to die, and was ready to
go at her Fathers bidding.
Parents, we know ’tis hard to
part with the beloved daughter, but
God saw that the tender plant was
too delicate for the garden terrestrial,
and He has transplanted it in the
garden celestial. Look to Him who
doetii all things well.
Sisters, weep not for dear Mary,
she’s waiting for you at the pearly
gate, where she beckons you to come.
Brothers, you’ll miss your sister here,
but follow the example she left you,
and by and by you’ll meet her again.
Sunday school class, you’ll miss your
kind teacher when you assemble in
your usual seats for Sunday school,
her seat will be vacant, but follow
the pathway she pointed out for your
youthful feet, and you will one day
be with her.
Let us as her associates, strive to
live so that when our Savior calls we
may meet her at the portals of Heav
en where death never enters, and
sorrows ne’er some.
No more, dear Mary, shall we see thy
sweet face.
’Mid the friends that weeherish here;
But bv and by in that heavenly place,
We’ll clasp thee to our hearts over
there.
F. M. C.
LITTLE LUCILE.
BY OSCAR BROWN.
My darling little babe Lucile,
Has gone from me. And now
The murky heavens wishfully
Glide o’er my haggard brow,
As though my heart was made
Of stone, and knows not God,
Who gave to me little Lucile,
Ouly to place beneath the sod.
But she is in heaven now,
And her pretty, sweet blue eyes
Are seen only by angels
Who beckon me beyond the skies.
From my bosom doth go.
My heart, my all to heaven,
To my darling little babo,
Which to me God had given.
She was mine on earth,
But heaven could claim
Her immortal spirit
For Him, in Jesus’ name.
But 0, in the evening shadows
In the still and checkered shade
My heart doth linger gently
O’er the spot where she was laid.
This all, must be religious lore
Which teaches us the way
To everlasting life,
As well ns how to pray.
Then we murmur not,
For her mamma and I
Will see her sweet little face
in the sweet by and by.
