NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.
We are going to overhaul our sub
scription hoiks in a few weeks. If
your time is out and you still want
the paper please let us know, and if
you do not want it let it be known.
We do not wish to force the paper
upon any one, neither do we desire
lo send it to those who have no inten
tion of paying for it. Time subscri
bers will he charged 75 cents per year.
We can not see how any kind of
a dispensary law would he an im
provement on the present three-mile
law.
Farmers will now make a heroic
struggle against General Green, but

Commissioner Nesbitt says that
the cotton acreage has been reduced

M*. llarvky, the author of “Coin’s
Faucial School” has realized $250,-
000 from the sales of his books. Free
silver or no free silver, Mr. Ilarvey,
financially speaking, is () K.
The financial question is not only of
national importance, but considered
in all its parts, is )f international and
world-wide concern. Some people
appear to see it only as it relates to
(her militia district.
Three are some people who arc
called “gold bugs” who probably do
not possess an ounce of gold in the
world, and those who are called “free
silverites” who would doubtless not
want a'great deal of the while metal
at a time if it were as free as water.
The financial question is the most
difficulty problem our national law
makers have to contend with, and
yet some people talk as lightly'of it
as it weio as plain as A. B (J.’s, and
so simple that any child ought to
understand it.
The wholo of the income tax law
lias been declared uneoustitutional
by a full bench and entirely wiped
off the statute books. JudgeJJ aekson
stood for the law, but one of the

law went overboard-
The Van Winkle gin and machin
ery company was sold in Atlanta
last week by order of the court, to
satisfv creditors, W, W. Boyd,
one of the men hers ol the old linn,
bought the entire property for $58,-
000. Van Winkle was also a bidder
but Boyd got the property.

The Columbarium, which has just
beeu finished near Sau Fituicisco,
; cost $22,000 says the Washington
Star. A columbarium is a place
where the ashes of those who have
beon cremated are filed away in
pigeonholes, with a neat little pia
card on the outside ®f each, giving
the name of the departed and other
facts for identification. The urn in
which the ashes are sealed is an or
namented little piece of pottery or
metal, and it may bo taken out of
tne pigeon hole and dusted, or hand
ed about from one to another ot the
relatives and friends of the departed
upon occasion of their visitt to the
“grave.”
Old-Time Music.
Some of the most skillful artis s in
music have devoted much labor to
the composition of our hytns and
hymn tunes, and yet in most of our
churches the singing is lifeless and
stupid, and it is especially so in these
latter days. Net long sinec the
writer in company with an old friend
was passing along a certain street in
the city of Atlanta u a Sabbath
evening, and coming to a place where
some colored people were engaged
in singing we both involuntarily
stopped t® listen at the music as it
floated ®ut from the windows above.
It wasihat obi familiar hymn,
“Amazing grace how sweet the sound
l’liat saved a wretch like me.”
The music from the organ seemed
to speak the words tneinselves in
the most wondrous combination of
melody and oeantv. Each voice part
seemed to spring from the keys sep
anilely and vet most expressively
tender, and sweetly in unison. It, is
simply impossible to describe in
mere words the beaty and power of
the singing as it was rendered. I
watched the face of tny friend as
wc listened and imagined I knew the
nature of Ins thoughts and sure
enough at the conclusion of the song,
he straightened himself up and said,
“That’s the old camp-meeting music
we used to hoar in our boyhood days,
am! what a pity it is we cui’t have
more ol it now.”
There must he some reasons lor
the decadence of music in our
churches; nnd as I mn not a musician
myself, my opinions may not be worth
much, but if these lines succeed m
getting our performers and singing
people to think about the subject a
little my object will be accomplished.
Every organist should study the
structure and composition of each
hymn as ? piece of art. Each voice
part should be so outlined in playing
as to arouse a. desire to join in the
singing. This cannot be done at a
mere glance but requires practice as
well as skillful knowledge of music.
There is too much flippancy and
want of spiritual appreciation. in
short, if the soul of the performer is
in the hymn it will be ia the music,
and that wondrous power peculiar to
music will claim the attention and
sympathy of the audience. Another
reason is that the Sunday singings
which have been so common in some
I orltons of the country have knocked
out all true appreciation of genuine
church music, especially among the
young people. To meet and practice
music is commendable at any time
but not in the way it is commonly
clone in our all-day singings. Ido
not remember to have ever heard one
of our grand old hymn-tunes sung at
one of these meetings. The music
is almost exclusively the lighter mel
odies and Sunday school tunes —nice
music too —(not sweet), but of no
enduring value except to its pub
lishers.
And still another reason (for there
are a number of them) is a lack of
hymn and tune books. Each church
should purchase a supply of hymn
books for the use of the congregation,
to lie handed around at the opening
of the service. V. D. 1..
Everything that can bear fruit is
taking on a big crop. Apples,
peaches, plums, pears, strawberries,
blackberries, etc. Will the people
let all these go to waste and not
supply themselves with enough to
last at least three or four years?
Surely not. We don't have a boun
tiful crop only once in about four or
five years, and we should prepare
now, while wo have opportunity.
The fruit crop is one of the finest
i in many seasons, and did not suffer
to any extent from the recent cold
wave.

4V e are reliably infonned that Mr.
Bona Alien, of Buford, made by one
trade which was consumated last
week, about $20,000 profit in a leath

ago a party from Boston came down
and made him an offer on his stock
of leather. Mr. Allen refused to
accept it and a week ago he returned
and made him another offer which
was accepted and this last offer being
*ll,OOl in excess of the first, and of
course there was a good profit, said
to be about $9,000 on the first prop
