§Che gtrald and ^doertisq. Newnan, Ga., Friday, August 31,1888. BABY’S COMMAND. Just three years old was our baby— A little town maid was she; A grpsR-plat to ber meant country, A fountain the bound’esa sea. For all her tiny life-time Had passed mid the houses high, WJios< tops, to her childish lancy, Were part of the arching sky. So one summer day, when his sunship Was baking the city brown, We carried her off to the sea-side, Away from the breathless town; Stripped her socks and slippers. Regardless of freckles and tan, And told her to go and froiic As only a baby can, Hut she stood with her wee hands folded, A speck on the sandy shore, And gazed at the waves advancing With thunder crash and roar. We knew that some thought was stirring The depths of her little brain, As she listened to God’s great organ Pealing its glad refrain. At last, in her clear child’s treble As sweet as a robin’s trill, With one little linger lifted, 8h : ciied to the sea, “He still!’’ Ah, dear little fair-baited baby, Hike you in this mortal strife, There’s many a one made weary And stunned with the waves of life. Hut the billows of both, my darling, Are moved at the Master’s will. And only His voice can hush them, By whispering. “Peace, he still 1” These little one-horse fellows that kick because a member wears a badge to a singing are not true Alliancemen, nei ther can the Alliance ever be benefited by them. But let me say again, that I was en ter, with the gal’s name left blank? inquired an agriculturist. “I guess so,” was the reply; “what’s the trouble?” “None yit; but gals is like everythin’ but death aud taxes, mighty unsartin.

I cannot find language to express my gratitude for their kindness shown me; but suffice it to say that I will appreciate it forever, I and will ever hold sacred in my memo ry a fond recollection of the time I spent with them.

How Doctors Conquer Death. Doctor Walter K. llammond says: “After a long experience I have come to the conclusion that two-thirds of all deaths from coughs, pneumonia and 1 consumption, might be avoided if Ack er’s English Cough Remedy were only carefully used in time.” This wonder ful remedv is sold under a positive guarantee by W.

P. Reese, president of the j man, and is certainly moderation of speed and manner personified, yet he was capable of prolonged sittings at his desk, in which the mental labor was in tense and exhausting, though no evi dence of it appeared in the composi tion. Sometimes an idea struck him that he thought worth developing, and Words can- i he brooded it and clucked to it like a hen to a chick. He reveled in it and rolled it about for days like a sweet morsel under his tongue, and then with big sheets of blue paper he set it down in this way and that, writing it diago nally or across the sheet lengthwise, or with a piece of black crayon setting it down on a piece of cardboard. Thus some of the immortal treasures of Mark Twain were first nunsed before they were put into cold type. t hat tahoochee con vent ion, had arrived ;it put new zeal, new energy, and new life into the order. It seemed to infuse new blood into the veins ol every sing- •er. It. caused every heart to beao vs it h gladness, and filled every soul with joy, to be honored with the presence ol such a renowned musician, not express the gratitude that Talla poosa convention felt in having the grand old veteran musician with us. 1 also visited the Chat tahoochee sing ing convention a short time ago, where 1 had one of the most enjoyable times I ever passed. It was held at Macedo nia church, in Coweta county,near New nan, right in live midst of some of the most generous-hearted people that I ever had the pleasure of meeting. I was entertained in as hospitable a man ner as if Iliad belonged to the royal family. I enjoyed my short stay (tor a short one it seemed) with them as well as heart could wish or mortal could ask cumstances, for. But is this all? Have I given you a detailed account of my visit, and the wav and manner that I was receiv ed bv some of the people in that commu nity? Havel turned over t lie other side of the picture and viewed with awe and astonishment the fact that 1 was treated very coldly, even with con tempt. by some of the brethren of that vicinity? No. not yet. But please be patient with me until I can further ex plain myself. What did I call them? Brethren? God forbid. Everybody that has any acquaintance with me, knows me to be an Allianceman in deed and in truth; and I have due respect ) and always exhibit the same to all , brethren of the order at all times and j under all circumstances, and unless a man does the same with me, 1 cannot call him brother or recognize him as such, neither will ctaty require it of me. 1 was treated with disrespect by the brethren(?) of the Alliance at the above named singing convention, and 1 can not refrain from speaking about it in order that it"may be a benefit to them in the future. Right here let me give a full explanation of the cause of the wav r aud manner in which 1 was le- ceived, and see if they had any reason for treating me in such a manner. IN e were at a singing, which was, of course, not pertaining to the Alliance. \ et I. Increase in Number or Supreme Judges. Court M M O M co > 2 O o H H O A PROCLAMATION By JOHN B. GORDON.

Just ahead of him was a flying figure clad in white like himself, and running at a 2:10 clip. A turn in the long hall and two steps leading to a higher level brought the figure up, or rather down, and the same cause precipitated the newspaper man against her. “Let’s pray,” called the frightened woman as she clasped him by the arm. “No, let’s run,” was the reply, and putting her once more in the right direction the lady was soon far ahead, though her rescuer got out in plenty of time. The two never saw each other again. A gentleman, accompanied by a lady wearing a handsome dress and bonnet, came out of the concert ball one night to find it raining, while they were with out umbrella or waterproof clothing. “Why, Charles,” the lady cried, “it’s raining!” “So I see,” said Charles, calmly. “Why, what shall vve dor” “I rather think that vve shall have to let it rain,” replied the matter-of-fact husband.
