Mother, Home and Heaven.
GA
Some one has said that “Mother,
1 f „.<nme and Heaven" are the three
Iweeteat words in the English lan¬
guage. Mother stands first because
r^it is the sweetest of the three.
Who wrestles with -God for the
wayward boy? Who sends him
f° messages of love in the prison cell?
Who believes he is guiltless when
Whe stands on the death scaffold?
Who gentlyibidfe his hands across
ps the “guiltless” bosom and consigns
him to the tomb? Ik it not motb-
v ^!r? Yes. All the world believes him
1 (uilty-believes hi* hands stain-
are
B >d with a neighbor’s blood except
he mother. “What! can my boy be
Vuilty of such a sin? Can my boy
lleia an enemy to man and God? No,
?pe o, no.” She believes the world is
oistaken; she can’t realize that
pri«er boy is a criminal. No crime
powever grave can change her love,
a „int, like the eternal hills, it lasts.
’ day forsake

he boy who once gladdened his
neart.and turn against him forever,
ch^ s an illustration :Iu one of our
at nig cities some time since a father
who had bourne with his son for
many years finally drove him from
18 his home by saying, “Off, away
l from these premises forever! Don’t
again apprach as your father.” But
^debauched ^ r see the mother as she follows the
boy out into the street,
and there, in the sight of a jeering
® u and censuring crowd, wipes the
W*dust from the dissipated cheek,
Ymootbes the disheveled hair! Hear
you er as she confesses to the world
p&ejiat he is her son. “Your father
Jas driven you Iron the paternal
pwe’of, tiut I’m your mother; and now
in ttiast I leave my boy? No not as
ying as the faintest spark of a
lsp jotber’s love burns in a bleeding

imprint one more kiss of undying
0 j affection on his cheek, let mo love

when bis madly heart was not

a when I first looked into his inno-

MYSTIC DOTS.
Mr. EditorAs I see you have
not a correspondent from this place
I will give you a few dots.
The farmers of this section are
having quite a rest spall, waiting
for their land to dry off. Much of
the low land is still boggy, and will
not do to plant for some time yot,
however the farmers seem to be
quite contented with the situation.
They have learned that the earliest
planting, in such backward Springs
as we have been having for the last
few yaars.does not always give the
beatresultB.
Our school is progressing very
nicely at present. Prof. Warwick
nas succeedd&kn, eliciting quite an
intereat in both patrons and pupils,
and’we feel sure that before his ten
months Rave expired that there will
be still greater interest manifested
than at present, as he is a man who
pushes forward his work, and tie
seems especially fitted for his call¬
ing.
On last Friday evering quite , a
number ol patrons and friends vis¬
ited the school. After going through
the program Prof. Warwich gave us
a 8 peech in which he mads some
very impressive|remarks in regard
to the necessity ofjpushing forward
the Fducational cause. 1 f

We have organized a Sabbath
chool at Reedy Creek church, in
which wejhope there will be'as|gaea
interest, yeajeven more, shown than
has been in the literary echool, as
we feel that the phjldren of our
community are being brought’tip
with too limited a Knowledge of the
truths which we know to be essen¬
tial to their salvation.

» .The Ashhurn people are making
a raid or the “blind tiger” business.
One, Will Loving, la now boarding
with the keeper of Worth county
prison, and another man of color
is peeping through the windows of
Ashhurn calaboose, because they
vainly thought they could vend
the ruinious liquid without a lioans
and escape -the penalty of the., law.
“The way of the transgressor is
hard.” It is dillicult for anything
to escape the vigilance of Ash-burn.
The citizens of the town held an
indignation meeting in front of J.
8. Betts & Go’s, store last Saturday
morning to give expression of their
disapproval of the circulation, of-
obscene cards, by a certain man
who had only recently moved to.
Ashhurn. At least 100 met in mass
and passed resolutions as follows:
WHEREAS : A class of very ob
scene %ud objectionable literature
is, Seing circulated in the town, and r
WHEREAS : WVhave reason to
believe'that said -literature is sent
out aa ah advertising scheme by
one 0. L. Wadsworth. We, as citi
zena of Ashhurn, wishing to uphold
the majesty of the law, and main
tain peace and dignity at all times,
and above all, to protect our
Mothers, Wives, and Daughters
from such gross insults, as. are,cm
braced in said cards, do hereby en
dorse the following resolutions:
Rb 30 lved : That we will.not
willingly submit to such insults;
and that we pledge ourselves to
use every means in our power to
suppress and rid the town of Buch
literature and its author.
Adopted unanimously, without
a dissenting voice, that the .meets::
ing, as a committee of the whole,
be afmointed to w-aitYin Wadsworth
and read 'the resolutions to him.
Wtiich was done.

A Wedding Dinner.
On last Sunday morning, Mr
Oscar Sumner, of near Sumner, Ga,
■*u leaf's! married P.T%yal to ||^g^i is <ti, d-u^b* L
as stated in ih
•r column.
The Associate editor, wifi
your humble scribe, and bis bl
er, G. L. Jackson, were invite!
attend home of the infair, given at]
tlx* groom’s father,
We hired a horse from otjr
low townsman, Mr. J. P. Rri
and Dr. W. B. Cone was so kin
to lend us a buggy, and we
Sycamore about 10 a. m., en rofTte
for Mr. Sumner’s, in the highest of
spirits and with the thought ever
in our mind of how we would puli
turkey bones. But, Oh, how soon
onr highest ambitions were oooled
off!
Everything ran smoothly along
until we reached Little river,
about three and one half miles
from town. It was a little higb,
but not enough to have hindered
anyone, with a good horse and
buggy, from crossing.
We had just gotten across swim
micgjwstf.r, and feltjjthe wheels
touch bottom, and the next! thipg
that happened, we touched bottom
We .pulled the buggy out and
found it torn in three pieces. Alter
having tied i t together we turned
our horse’s head toward home and
reached hereabout 12o’clock,.
Nothing ever looked nicer than
tha big fire at home as we walked
in the. front door, looking like
drowned rats.
That buggy is in the shop now
1 guess it will take about all of our
money to get it out.
