liesolctd, i. Tliattd,Coi. J. fa. Instill we
are due a special vpfce of thanks, noij;on-
ly for his labor in organizingoui- excur
sion, but for his generous and princely
entertainment of our members at Sa
vannah's magnificent new hotel, the
De Soto, which hostelry is an honor to
that city and should be the pride of ev
ery Georgian.
2. That it is with sorrow wo part with
Col. Estill as president of our associa
tion, and regret that-he most positively
refused re-elpctiou to the position that
he so long, faithfully .and creditably
filled. - We feel that the success of, our
association is,: in a lnrge measure, due
to our retiring president, and we assure
him that he. carries in his retirement,
from oflice tho admiration and grati
tude of every member of this body; ,
3. That to Capt. J, 11. Dillon, Messrs.

thanks for kind attentions and courto-
sies. In fact, wo irtiet-Httlie: bauds of'
the citizens of Savannah that Open-
handed and generouB hospitality for
which tho Forest City is proverbial.

Q. That to tho Plant railroad and
steamship system are we in a- large
mensure duo our delightful excursion,
and each member of this body will ever
remember with gratitude the generous
and abounding kindness of this cotnpa

not only gave us an excursion over its
extensive lines of railway, traversing
the finest and fairest sectiohs of the
South, but also carried our association
on a voyage to Havana on its beautiful
steamships “Olivette” and “Mascotte.”
7. We renlize the fact that the Plant
system is doing a great work In devel
oping the country through which- its
railways pass, and encouraging traffic
between the South and foreign lauds by
its steamship lineB.
8. It should be the pride and ambi
tion of every public-spirited citizen and
newspaper in the South to extend this

agement, for we realize that it is an im-
§ ortant factor in the upbuilding and
evelopment of Our section of tho
South.

i debted for a warm welcome and pleas
ant entertainment. -At Jacksonville we
visited the Sub-Tropical Exposition,and
were gratified at the wonderful devel

Obituary.
Died, at Dunnellon, Fla., April 4th,
Mrs. Mattie Williams, wif§ of Mr. C. T.
Williams, in the 20th year of her age.
Seldom has Providence, in its myste
rious ways, brought to our notice a be
reavement more touching than this.
Early bereft of her mother, her child
ish head and heart were burdened with
a woman’s responsibilities in the care
of her younger brothers and sisters.
“They cloeed her sweet, blue, loving eyes,
Placed In her hands, fair, snowy blooms;
Her.white soul flouted to the skies,
Upborne ob radiant ungels' plumes."
Her whole, pure, Christ-exalted lifd
was like the fair unfolding of a lily, and
it'seemed a bitter lesson that she must
be taken from husband, child and
home just as-she had blossomed into
womanhood — motherhood. To the
grief-striek&n father and relatives in
faraway Pennsylvania we offer our sin-
cerest sympathy, and may the “balm
of GHead,’! that free spring of her pure
happiness, fall upon the wounded heart
of the young husband; but our deepest
prayers are for the sweet little infant,
wljo at the tender age of two months,
is bo sorely bereft. May He who '‘tem
pers the wind to the shorn lamb” guide
and protect hitn through life. ;

Oue Republican Truth.
The Philadelphia Telegraph, thougli
a.KMniblicauipiffier, has a proper con
ception of the worth of the white lead*
ers of its party Iti the South j It. says:
“Congress and the President may
scheme to get possession of the South,
its electoral, and its Congressional del
egations. They may unite in enact
ing tiie most drastic legislation to this
end, Hut. tlfey Will , never build up tho
Ropuhlican-phrty ih the South on such
material as has misrepresented it the
greater portion of thq time in the Fed
eral offices there during tho pnst twen
ty years and in the National Republi
can conventions. One such man as
Gen. Longstreet in Georgia is worth a
hundred Bucks and Bryants. Jt is
strange, indeed, tht^t thp consciousness
of this' fact does not- penetrate the
minds of the Republican leaders at
tlio National Capital. Thore might He
a strong, roputnble and useful Republi

only cbme through, discharging tho
whole bad lot. who IfaVe been controll

A, straight line is the shortest dist anco
between two points.' l^his is a fact in
nature Rnd a it* axiom in mathematics. It
is also true that the straight line of
'righteousness is the shortest and safest
way through ttyo allurements nud por-
ploxities and temptations of this world.
When one offers as an excuse for.not
keeping tho Sabbath, or donying his ap
petites, or any other duty, some other
reason besides the true one, he makes a
blunder. Tho man who tries to escape
tho consequences of wrong-doing by
some indirect method, Qitjier, than by
‘doing his plain duty, will become entan
gled in the snare of the devil. Pilate
sought to escape the crime of putting Je
sus to death by bogging the multitude to
allow him,to releast\Him. . Better far
would it have been for him to have acted
the man and gone straight to the mark,
discharged a plain duty and set his pris
oner free. Temporizing never mends
matters. Going round about to socure
a good end requires longer time, and
never answers the purpose. Doing
right because it is right is always safe.
Everything that God does is beau
tifully done. His stars are jewels set
in velvet; His flowers are sapphires
set in emerald. Everything of His
creation, in shape and color, ns they
lie belied in the sunlight, has upou it
the touch of the beautiful. And this
teaches us to do beautifully everything
that we do. Especially in our - con
duct towards each other ought there to
gleam the beauty of the star and breathe
the fragrance of the Slower. Christian
courtesy out flowing from a sincere
heart is the highest form of gentleness,
and so of beauty. Tho Christian, then,
is the true gentleman; and the spirit of
Jesus the beuutifler of conduct.
The disfranchisement of Democrats
in Massachusetts is almost as bud us it
is in Iowa. In the former Stute the
Democrats polled 1W),71» votes, while
the Republicans polled 178,811 votes,
and yet the Republicans have ten Rep
resentatives in the present House, and
the Democrats have only two. It takes
75,000 votes in Massachusetts to elect tv
Democrat to Congress, and requires
only 17,881 votes to elect a Republican.
The empty talknboutthe disfranchise
ment of negroes in the South falls flat
before these official figures.

CURED
SCROFULA
Is thnt impurity of tho blood which produces
unsightly lumps or swellings in tho necki
which causes running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which develops ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can
cerous growths, or "humors;” which,fasten
ing upon the lungs, causes consumption and
death. It is the most ancient ot all diseases,
and very few persons are ontirely free from It.
How Can
It Be
By taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
has proven Itself to be a potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. If you suiter from
scrofula, try Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
“ Every spring my wife and children have
been troubled with scrofula, my little boy,
three years old, being a terrible sufferer.
Last spring be was one mass of sores from
bead to feet. We all took Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and all have been cured of the scrofula. My
little boy is entirely free from sores, and all
four of my children look bright and healthy."
