A SPLENDID SERMON.
l ■of Veterans, a large number
of them met at the court house
Center, Ala., delivered a very
interesting sermon. The oc
| casion was in many respects
a notable one. The speaker
commended in very high
terms the setting apart of a
day by the old soldiers for
religious service, and gave
North Georgia the honor of
inaugurating it. All the en¬
vironments tended to make
the occasion at once solemn
and instructive. The speaker,
himself a Veteran, seemed
deeply impressed by itsgravity:
ant ^ the old warriers with bent
f° rms > hoary hairs and deeply
furrowed brows, who satina
body on his right, sympathized
with him in its importance.
The subject of the discourse
was, “Lo! I am with you al
way,” and was so handled and
applied as to thrill with corn
fort and interest the hearts of
‘'-e who We soldiers of the
cross as well as of their coun
tr>. It was a touching scene
to behold them as their minds
ran back to the stormy days
of the civil War and held up
in vivid array its sufferings,
sacrifices and dangers with the
tragic memories of dead com
rades and cruel failures,
Space forbids the mention of
man y things that rendered
^is occasion remarkable and
jUnique. taught and r The emphasized great lesson
was
the vanity of human efforts
and the delusion of human
hopes, the unfailing certainty
of the success of the Christian
cause, the comforting assur¬
ance of its great Leader of
His constant presence, the
glory that awaits the faithful
and the bliss that follows, of
which nothing more wondrous
can be said than: “We shall be
satisfied.”
Some few of the candidates
in the recent primary election
are still indebted to us for
their announcements, and
they are now offered an opcr
tunity to greatly oblige us by
coming forward at once and
settling up. We have dis¬
charged our part of the trade
and it is up to the candidate
to come around and square
up his dues. It is a notorious
fact that we have many bar¬
rels of coin hoarded but no
man ever becomes posessed
of so, much that he has no de¬
sire to get more. So, boys,
please trot up to the captain’s
desk and permit him to fur¬
nish you with a receipt.
Two coats of good paint
and the proper penciling would
add much to both the appear¬
ance and durability of the
court house walls. It would
not be at all inadvisable for
the county board to seriously
consider this matter. j

By reason of an oversight,
we neglected to state a couple
of weeks ago that Henry M.
Tankerslej had retired from
the race for treasurer. The
withdrawal of bis candidacy
is done in the interest of no
one but, solely, on account of
his not being able to go before
the people by reason of
smallpox in his family.
