Jones, the lib eral-hearted friend and mAnber of the Presbyterian church, introduced a nov el feature in the Sunday-school, by giv ing each officer, teacher and scholar a nickel as a nucleus for investment dur ing the remainder of the year—the pro ceeds to be used by the school in what ever manner-it shonld be deemed best. He gave the children a sensible talk, full of good advice—giving for his first reason, the good the money thus accu mulated would do the cause intended; secondly—it would' aid in developing business traits, in which they must be strictly-honest, upright aud honorable in every particular. During the Christ mas holiday's he proposed there should be a gathering of the school, at which time they were to report their steward ship,the amounts accumulated,together with the manner of investment. Where there had been no increase, the original sum was to be returned to the donor. The plan was happily proposed and cordially received, the children being enthused over the idea of the large sums they would make from sales of pop corn, goobers, chickens, and anything “in their line”—whilst older ones were puzzling their heads how to make “a start” from so small a sum;—and if one will think for a moment it will be quite a study to know how to invest to keep from overstocking the market with trades that would come in the line of nickel sales. On the last Sabbath in this month our superintendent, Mr. Fell, called a meeting of the school at the church for the following Tuesday night. For days the. weather had been cold, rainy and disagreeable; but on this night, 8# if in accord with the bright, happy faces of the children, the clouds rolled away, warm breezes filled the air, moonlight graced the scene—nature seeming to add her smiles and good wishes to this merry Christmas day to which many of the Kttle ones had looked forward as the crowning event of the first busi ness effort of their lives. Older, ones caught the glow in the re flection from their radiaut faces; their cares.were forgotten; memory turned back to their youthful days, when the Christmas chimes pealed forth only as responsive echoes, to the fullness of the joy and gladness in their hearts In the assemblage wefe found friends -of oth er denominations, who had watched the plan with interest—perhaps doubt- ingly—during the eight -months of its existence. The exfercises were opened with pray er by Rev. W. 11. Foote, asking God’s blessing upon our school and its work. Songs were also sung. Dr. Stacy was called to.the chair, with two assistants as secretaries. The several amounts were placed in an envelope, upon which the name, sum, and manner of making was written and handed in, in answer to the call of the roll. One hundred nickels were given put in April, In December, eighty-eight responded, the remainder being absent, consequent upon the holidays, but will undoubtedly be heard from. The sums returned varied from fifteen cents to thirty dollars. It would take too long to enumerate how this was made; but I two little boys, five and seven years j of age, respectively, were held up be fore the audience to give in “their ex- ■ perience.” One said: “I had a nickel,! and bought some greens and sold them; j bought some more greens and sold j them; bought some candy, chewing gum,etc.,until I made five dollars. ’’The otlrer little fellow, almost too timid to speak, said: “I made mine selling flowers—$4.05.” A lessen to others. Surely, wisdom cometh from the mouth of babes. It would be amusing to know the devices the older one resorted to, who wished to preserve their dignity, and still keep up with children in this race. It was “nip and tuck” sure enough. Soap, figs, yeast' cakes, fans, flowers, crocheting, knitting, and anything else that was allowable to expedite the movements of their stiffened bones in this “John Gilpin race" with the chil dren in their good work. The summing up of the amounts found the iucrease from the five dol lars to be $176.85—a per centum that financiers say is remarkable. A vote was then taken as to what disposition should be made of this amount. It was decided to place it in the keeping of the donor; that a portion of it be used for book* for the Sunday-school Library — the re mainder as a nucleus for a fund to place stained glass windows iu our church—a memorial of the thoughtful generosity of Capt. Jones, and of the thrift and preservanco of the chil dren. It will be pleasant for them in after years to remember that their work is blended in the beautiful shades that imitate the royal bow that sometimes spans the arch of heaven as a memori al of His loving promise. Tender thoughts will ayse, ■ and sweet memo ries will cluster around this, their home—the church of their childhood. ; h. s. s. GrantvUle.

I. C. U. R. M. T.” And woe i* me ! And yet I have one consolation, and that is that no unseemly merriment is had around my table over the dead carcass of a once animate fowl. Bat my boys have a goat, and I think I *aa buy ’em out for a dollar and that will last longer than an old turkey anyhow. There is a squeeze in the land, whieh walketh forth at noonday and dewncth the bright anticipations of “better days a-coming,” so fondly hoped for, and yet which appeareth not. If thy neighbor offend the# five his son a tin horn, and grent shall be thy revenge in the dny of liis tribulation and wrath. (If some wicked fellow should try thie on me I’d take my hat in hand and strike a bee-line fot Milledgeville. I’ve got five boys, yon see.) A Christmas tree Has been voted hy the children of the Methodist Sabbath- school, and the old folks must furnish the music and a bountiful supply ef •# ceteras. Let everybody go w|o can furnish the latter—I «an ’t, My chil dren say they had rather not go, fer the other children get so much nicer f res ents than they do; that old Santa Claus seems to have favorites. Th*y are sensible children, and I intend that they shall visit “grandma,” and forget their miseries chasing butterflies, (fig uratively speaking.)

Editor Lowrey weighs about 200 pounds, and has a muscle which he got in the wild West. Editor Graves Weigh* about 120 pounds, and walks like a game cock. Last Friday an editorial appeared in the Tribune if /feme under tne heading "The Evening Paper No More.” In this article Editor Graves an nounced the suspension of the publi cation of the Bulletin. Yesterday afternoon Editor Graves and Business Manager Brooks, of the Tribune, were standing in front of Parks’ dry goods store. Some words passed * between the twe ed- itom, and Lowrey struck at dirave*, whe dodged the blow and. struck Lewrey *n the head with bis *m- brella.

Dr. Bartow Webb, from Atlanta, spent-this week at home. His class mate, Dr. Brown, accompanied, him. Misses Loudie O’Kelly and Orrie Murphy, from Gcantville, have been visiting friends and relatives here. Mr. John M. Cetton has gone to visit relatives near Alexander, Ala. Mr. Scbtt' Davis, from near Ilogans- ville, visited . Mr. B.. M. Couch this 1 , week. Sometime &nce we stated that “Judge Bigham. of LaGrange, came up to or ganize^ Masonic Lodge here.” The Lodge was honored by the Judge’s presence, but Mr. John H. Williams, of Luthersville, organized the Lodge, and so deserves the honor. I am sorry the mistake was made, but it was on account of being misinformed. Last Sunday was a day of a very pleasant exercise to those who attended the Sunday-school. Mr. H. W. Camp having been Sunday-school Superin tendent for a number of years, has re tired and Mr. F. S. Cureten been ap pointed in his stead. Mr. Camp made the meeting very interesting, indeed, by his words of appr^ation for the success which the school has attained in the past and hoping for its continued prosperity in the future. He dismissed the school very feelingly, and announc ed that Mr.Cmreton would appear next Sabbath as Superintendent and re-or- gaaixe. Let’s aH work for the Sunday- school and attend regularly. The new year is approaching with its joys and sorrows, successes and misfor tune*. Let us make good resolutions fer the coming year, and improve on mistakes made in the pest. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. J Special to .V m ;>• <. I'unon, Inst, Rows, Go., December 26.—Exaggera ted reports having gone out concerning the difficulty between John Temple Grave# and Alva C.Lowrev, a frienc of Mr. Graves furnishes the following story: Mj. Graves, who is editor of the Tribune, editorially noticed the fact that Lowrev’s paper, ‘be Bulletin, had gone the way of all flesh and waste pa- - per. Lowr-y took occasion to writ a card in a weekly paper, couched in hie usual style, against Graves. The next day as Graves was passing the Bulletin office, he h»w Lowrey standing on the stops. He advanced toward him, and said: “Lowrey. I do not intend to notice in my paper your scurrilous article in the ('Upper, bnt I wish to say to you personally, and face to face, that I re gard yon ns a coward, a scoundrel and a liar.” Lowry made some indefinite reply, when dnraves interrupted him, saying: “I woc’4 hear one word from vou, *ir.” Lowrey answered: “I’ll say what I please.” Graves then struck Lowrey with his umbrella. . Lowrey was standing twe steps above Graves with his knife in his hand, and on receiving the blow he struck at Graves but failed to reach him. Graves then broke his umbrella- to splinters over Lowrey’s head. The. crowd then rushed up and kept the combatants apart. Graves said to Lowrey on parting: “I am ready to renew this in any way, shape or form that you may desire.” To this Lowrey made no reply. Wide Awake. Christmas Wide Awake is made up of thirty-five poems, stories, sketches, papers of all sorts, long and short, and fifty-seven pictures. Both writers and ■artists are such as stand for timely help along the highway of life with good cheef in the bargain. If such an amount of such work of pen aud pencil was made into Christmas books, they would cost as many dollars as cents in Wide. Think of it, 5>20-worth of the stuff that Christmas books are made of for twenty cents ! Besides there is apart not reckoned,hut which is full of inter est, thirty-two pages of pictures of Christmas things to be got for a little work. There is. many a boy and girl who will find in those thirty-two pages not only Christmas delight but hints toward wider fortune. By all means have the Christmas Wide A wake. If your bookseller hasn’t got it send to the publishers, D. Loth- rop Company, Boston. . Dr. W. R. King, Specialist. If you have not read in the back numbers of The Herald and Adver tiser the advertisement of the great specialist, Dr. King, (who is still in La Grange, Ga.,) curing chronic diseases, you had best do so aud avail yourself of the opportunity to lie cured beyond a doubt. Write to the Doctor at once for terms. * • List of Letters Remainingin the Post Office at New nan, Ga., Dec. 26th, 1887. If not call ed for within four weeks will be sent- to the Dead Letter Office.
