Sad Death.
Mr. E. A. McWhorter, of St. Ma
rys, reached the city Monday morn
ing en route from Anniston, Ala.,
whither he had gone to see his young
cst son, who was ill there of typhoid
fever. At Atlanta he met and pass
ed, without knowing it, the corpse of
his dear boy in charge of his wife and
older son, who had proceeded him
several days to the bed-side of the
sick boy. On reaching Anniston
31 r. McWhorter heard of the death
of his son for the first time, and im
mediately retraced his steps, reach
ing here three o’clock Monday morn
ing. He left on the Cracker Boy for
Satilla Bluff, where he was met by
his buggy.
The others reached here last Sat
urday and chartered the steamer In
ca and carried the remains of the
dead son back to his home. As Mr.
McWhorter narrated the sad talc
to us his big heart swelled
with emotion and often choked his
utterance. The young man had but
a short time since left the paternal
roof to enter business in this new
field, but the summons came and the
cord was snapped, leaving* naught
but sorrow in its trn>‘
Sunday’s Services.
Sunday was one of the finest,
and church goers had an opportuni
ty of turning out in force which they
did at all the churches that were
open. The writer was present at the
PRESBYTERIAN CFIURCII
And heard from the lips of its pastor
one of the finest efforts of his pasto
rate here. The speaker, Rev. Paul
F. Brown, contrasted the earthly Ca
naan with the Heavenly, showing
that the pleasures of the former were
but transitory, and unsatisfviug, and
only pointed to the latter which was
enduring as eternity itself and per
fectly soul,’satisfying. Every mem
ber of his congregation who failed to
hear that discourse missed a good
treat.
THE METHODIST CHURCH.
From a worshipper at the Metho
dist church we are furnished the fol
lowing:
The sermon of Mr. McCook yester
day morning was from 1 Cor. 15, 45:
“Therefore my beloved brethen be ye
steadfast,unmovable, always abound
ing in the work of the Lord, for as
much as ye know that your labor is
not in vain in the Lord.”
Mr. McCook showed the relation
of his text to St. Paul’s magnfiiccntl
discussion of the resurrection of the
dead. Faith in that glorious doc
trine and a proper understanding of
it ought to result in an efficient, ear
nest, practical service. The Apostle
was guilty of no anti-climax of ex-
presion or thought when by inspira
tion he was guided to join this prac
tical exhortation with his triumph
ant thanksgiving for victory over
death and the grave.
The importance of religious stead
fastness was urged, its difficulties
briefly considered. The importance
of christirn activity was urged. We
are to abound in the work of the
Lord. The Christian ought to be ag-
gresive, the church ought to be an
organization of earnest and aggres
sive workers. There is need of such
activity.
The sermon was concluded by ref
erence to the encouragement afforded
by the assurance that tfc labor not
in vain. We get in the developments
of our own characters and the hap
piness to which we are introduced a
reward for the efforts we have put
forth. God prospers our work nnd it
accomplishes results we do not see.
Harvests are yielded from seed of
our planting that we know not of.
There were no services at the Bap
tist church, owing to the absence of
the pastor.
At the Episcopal church the usual
services were held and well attended.

Science for tbo Million.
Nowadays when a man travels there is
no reason, if he visits somo country that
has not been exhausted, why ho should
not bring back many solid and accurate
facts of scientific value, oven though lie
may lack extended training in science.
Both tlio English and tho Germans have
comprehensive hand books compiled by
tho most uotablo authorities, giving tho
traveler manifold hints how to make his
wanderings useful to tho world. They
show him in tho simplest possible manner
tho methods of making routo maps, of
ascertaining most easily and accurately
tho width and velocity of rivers, tho
height of mountains, latitudes, longitudes
and so on. They point out tho facts ho
needs to observe to give geologists tbo
clearest idea of tho physical structure of
a country. They show him how to make
and preserve colI-?ctions in natural his
tory, supply hints on surveying nnd pho
tography, and tell him just what to do to
make his observations valuable.
If, in addition to those hints, lie desires
preliminary instruction and practical
field training, amplo provisions to meet
; his wants have been supplied by the
| geographical societies in London, Paris
and Berlin, where at moderate fcost (in
London only two shillings and sixpence
an hour) ho is drilled in surveying and
mapping, geology, including field train
ing, geological survey, botany, and pho
tography. This is all tho preliminary
framing that many of our most eminent
explorers, including Stanley, have re
ceived. Many ingenious devices nnd ex
pedients have also lieen invented to facili
tate the work of tho explorer, of which
wo need only mention hero tho French
color plates, each tint having its own
number, by means of which tho traveler
is able to give a far : : ire accurate idea of
tho color of the people ho meets than lio
could couur by any description. Tho
invention of dry plates in photography
also has been a great boon to explorers.—

A Life Time Job.
The Telegraph find '.icscnger has
this to say of Mi. Calvin, of Rich
mond county, who by the way is a
brother of our Mr. Calvin, of New
castle street:
“Mr. Calvin of Richmond will be
the only member in the next Georgia
House of Representatives who has
been in the Legislature continuously
since 1882. His election for a fourth
term is a just recognition of a faith
ful and able service to his constitu
ents and the State. Mr. Calvin has
distinguished himself in every Legis
lature of which he has been a mem
ber.
A New Departure.
Sunday night at Methodist church
the regular sermon of the pastor was
substituted by lay addresses from
Messrs. C. I. Stacy, of the Presbyte
rian church, and W. D. Raich, Secre
tary of the Y. M. C. A. The service
was presided over by the pastor, who
introduced each of the young speak
ers with appropriate remarks, and
followed each of them with practical
suggestion and applications.
Mr. Stacy’s address was on “The
Power, the Glory and the Love of
God.” He was earnest, nnd at times
eloquent, as he hastily glanced at
these great subjects. Mr. Balch
urged the importance of Christian
work, especially for young men, and
on' the part of young men for young
men. Mr. Balch’s relation to work
for young men gave his earnest
words special emphasis.
The music consisted of n choir vol
untary, hymns, and chorus songs,
which were truly devotional, and en-
jojoynble elements 01 the service.—
The large congregation evidently en
joyed the service.
Sir. McCook nnnounced that simi
lar services would be held once a
month, on the Sunday night after
the celebration of the Lord’s supper.

“Able to Suit Anybody.”
The old reliable clothing man on
the corner, Mr. Jas. S. Wright, makes
the above announcement at the head
of a new advertisement to-day, and
proposes to prove it to any and all
who may call. Wc stepped into his
store a day or two since, nnd found
him up his eyes in new goods, which
arc constantly arriving, and be is
ready for the trade of tho season.—

The S. F. A W. R. R. is still reach
ing out its arms. The new line from
Thomasvillc to Monticello has just
been completed and business will
now open up over that line. This
has long been needed, Middle Flori
da lias been cut off from Southwest
Georgia about long enough. The
distance from Thomasville to the
Florida railroad is not more than 30
miles at farthest, and yet to get there
by rail one has to travel all the way
around by Chattahoochee Junction
or else via Dupont and Live Oak.
The War Continues.
The E. T. V. & G. R. R. now con
templates a line from Eastman to
Savannah nnd putting on four steam
ers to New York. This means war

Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the protec
tionist who once made $1,500,000 in
a year, and who paid his employes
95 cents a day, has returned to this
country from his castle in Scotland
to talk about the benefits of protec
tion. From the standpoint of the
monopolists, Mr. Carnegie can give
some convincing reasons against tar
iff reform. Probably he will also get
in a few words of praise of his mo
nopolistic friend, James G. Blaine,
who, through his proxy, Gen. Harri
son, is the republican candidate for
President this year.

As a whole nation wo are not greatly
concerned to inquire into the prospects of
African commerce. Wc are not liound
to consider closely whether good or bad
trade will be the outcome of tbo recent
agreement between France, Germany,
and Great Britain on tho affairs of Zan
zibar, or what will bo the trade results of
our own recent great acquisition of ex
clusive infltienco in tho southern parts of
tbo country. It must yet bo homo in
mind that trade questions aro themselves
intimately bound up with tbo rescuo of
tbo African from his tyrants; seeing that
commerce, os it is at present conducted
in many parts of Eastern Central Africa,
even that larger kind of commerco with
which the white man eventually deals nt
tlio sea coast emporiu, necessarily
involves tbo employment of slaves os
carriers.
In roadless regions inhabited by people
who are too priinitivo to breed cattle,
and where belts of country infested by
the tsetse fly have to bo crossed, nono
but human beasts'of harden can bear tho
products of industry. An elephant may
bo killed a thousand miles from tho
coast, and each tusk is tbo burden of a
negro slave to tbo nearest seaport, whilo
it will have taken three nr four negroes
to carry tlio calico required to pay tbo
elephant hunter in tbo interior. Slavery
and slavo carriago is therefore at present
a necessary incident of trndo in many
parts of Africa. It is evident that if
civilized modes of carriago aro onco es
tablished in tbo Gorman and English
“spheres of influence, ” slavo borno traffic
will givo way to cheaper and moro
speedy conveyance by road, by rail, or
by navigable river.—Nineteenth Century.

Ho Hod No Fever.
Dr. Holmes relates tbo following to il
lustrate tbo significance of small things
in tlio sick room: “Will you have an
orange or a fig?” said Dr. James Jack-
son to a fiuo little boy now grown up to
goodly stature. “A fig,” answered Mas
ter Theodore, with alacrity. “No fever
there,” said tho good doctor, “or ho
would certainly have said an orange.”
A Quaint Old Custom.
“Taking tho cushion” is a quaint old
Spanish court custom still practiced in
Madrid. Tho ceremony creates noblo
ladies “grandees of Spain," with tho
right to sit in tho royal prcsenco by per
mission of the king or queen, and recent
ly Queen Christina solemnly followed tho
prescribed form, in order to admit several
young ladies about tho court to tbo higher
rank. All the lady grandees of the
court assembled in one of the state apart
ments, each holding a large cushion. In-
tho center of tho room were a large arm
chair and a low stool.
Queen Christina entered with her suite,
took the arm chair and requested the la
dies to sit down on their cushions. Then
tho candidates for grandeeship were in
troduced one by one. Each was accom-
banied by a sponsor, and mado low re
verences to tlio queen nnd to every gran-
deo in turn. The queen next invited the
candidate to sit on tho stool at her feet—
arranged as more convenient than a cush
ion—spoke a few words and allowed
tho lady to kiss her band, beforo rising
to givo her placo to tho next new comer.
Tile new grandee than retired and sat
down ujion a cushion within the charmed
cbclo of the ladies.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Tho Scn.fblo Aro Sociable.
I liave often wondered what it was
that made men affable, and why there
should exist so many degrees of sociabil
ity. After pondering over this question,
I liave concluded that whilo intellect
cuts a L.-gu figure in making a man af
fable, often tho main reason may be
found in self interest. A boor always
shows that ho is deficient in common
sense, and gains absolutely nothing by
bis rudeness but the dislike of his fellows.
