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 last The father may one 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!

No not as ying as the faintest spark of a lsp jotber’s love burns in a bleeding gl heart and despairing soul.

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.

CITIZENS HELD AN INDIG- — Nation Meeting. » .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.

An Unsuccessful Effort to reach 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.

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. Faying ^Positions! GUARANTEED in WRITING.
