Tnis office is about out of soap. Uncle Newton Snddath and his good wife are very foeble. Court ajourned in Carnesville at 12 o’clock Saturday night, Miss Alice Mason, of Maysville, is visiting relatives in Homer. , The Hudson river is higher this week than it has been this year. Br-g her A. J. McWhorter has by all odds the prettsest colt we’ve seen. Dr. Sharp and C. W. Hood are our advertisers in Harmony Grove. The Commercial hotel in Athens is a good place to get a square meal W r e are glad to have tho Athens Ledger 011 our exchange list. Bro. Pryor Wright is making his home at T. B. Bruce’s, liis son-in-law. Mark N. Sanders gave this office one of the jolliest kind of calls yes terday. Rev. Sam W. Small made a fine temperance lecture in Atlanta a few nights ago. We had a pleasant conversation with editor Alexander in the Grove Friday morning. Let the Sabbath-breaking Sunday singing stay in the mountains where they belong. When you go to Athens to trade be sure and mention this paper to those with whom you trade. 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 educate our people, we will shine away the all-day Sunday singing. You will please bear in mind that C. W. Hood & Son, of Harmony Grove, advertise in this paper. A. J. McWhorter has two Alliga tors in his pond. We spent a night delightfully with this good family last week. Our railroad movement is taking on new life. We believe with the plan now on foot we can soon have a road if we will. Our good fiend George W. Wiley and his charming sweetheart spent a day or two visiting friends in onr community lately. The business men of Athens are taking right hold of our paper. Hun-ah for Athens and her thrifty merchants. The rains descended, the winds blew and the floods came and we re mained at Bro. Bruce’s until Tues day morning. If you become worried, Be sure you don’t fret; But quietly sit dowu And read the Gazette. Notice the announcement of the bill to be introduced in the next leg islature to prohibit the sale of liquor near Mt. Bethel church in this coun ty. The salt of the earth were at Salem Saturday and Sunday—people who were not tempted by the horrid Sun day singing above that they were able to bear. We visited Bro. Brown on A. J. McWhorters place, who has been sick ever since March. He has drop sy. His legs are twice as large as they ougnt to be. Notice the form in this issue upon which we propose to solicit subscrip tions to the Bellton, Homer and 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.

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.
