bad spent most of his long life in this
county. His death was not unexpected,
for he bad been in feeble health for many
months. While always a moral and up
right man and a good citizen, it was only
a few years ago that he macle a profession
of religion, but since that time has been
an humble and devoted Christian. Mr
Hemerick leaves an aged wife and a num
ber of children and grand children aud
many friends to mourn his death. We
presume the funeral will take place to
day from the lute residence.

INTERESTING SERVICES AT OCONEE ST.

appointed by the authorities of the South
ern Methodist church, begins next Mon
day, May 21st. This appointment will be
observed more or less generally through
out the connection. No stated programme
bas been provided, leaving each pastor to
arrange his own order of service. There
will be service each night next week in
Oconee Street Church, when the following
subjects will be discussed : Foreign mis
sionary work, Scriptural authority for;
Do the heathen need the gospel ? Can tbe
heathen be saved without tbe gospel ? A
Free will offering, nature and character of.
The tithe law not obsolete—its observance
brings personal prosperity ; Personal Ex
perience, etc. Self Denial, what it is.—
How can I deny myself. The pastor will
be assisted by the following ministers in
the city : Rev. Dr. S. P. Richardson, W-
D. Anderson, H. R. Bernard, D. C. Oliver,
E. D. Stone, W. R. Stillwell and perhaps
others may be secured outside the city.—
The programme is quite an interesting one,
and we have no doubt but that all who
attend will be well repaid. There will be
no collection taken during the week,there
fore no one need stay away on this ac
count. Let everybody attend and contri
bute as far as they may to the interest and
profit of these services.
Good Husbands.
[Continued from last week’s Chronicle.]
It is the reliable kind and enterprising
man that makes a good husband—one
that will cheer his wife with kind words
in the hour of trouble and anxiety—one
that will not leave her the long winter
evenings, uneberisbed and unhappy, to
pass away his time at some lodge or place
of amusement, but one who will ever be
ready with a helping hand and cheering
words to lighten be burden and enliven
her spirits. The recklesness with which
some women choose a husband is actually
out of reason and without forethought.—

Rev. W. S. Armistead.
This gentleman has been in the city du
ring the week, and has been the subject of
much and severe criticism. He was charg
ed with being a Mormon, and further that
he had been away from his home over 12
months, and had not provided for his
family during that time. In justice to Mr.
Armistead we will state, that be has let
ters from various parties giving testimo
nials as to his standing. He says he did
state in a lecture at Center that he had not
received enough money from his lectures
in 12 months to give any assistance to his
f*jwiiy; fcut that he did not mean by that
to intimate that he had left them unpro
vided for. He says that he has given them
an ample support. W’
Mr. Armistead claims that formerly he
was a Methodist preacher, in connection
with tbe Arkansas and Florida confer
ences, serving several charges as a supply,
hut permitted his license to expire, aud as
they were not renewed, he has no author
ity from that church a< a minister. 8 ince
withdrawing from [be Florida conference
he has been travelling around lecturing
and preaching. He makes no charge for
his preaching, but lakes up collections at
his lectures. He lectures on Baptism and
other subjects. We learn that he address
ed a small audience at the Court House on
Thursday night. He has been lecturing
and preaching at Center and vicinity for
the last month or six weeks.
In Athens the cordial and fraternal feel
ings existing in the various denominations,
causes all our people to d eprecate the
springing ot questions which might mar
these pleasant relations. Our people in
each of the churches hold strong and de
cided opinions on disputed points, but
have agreed to disagree, and do not en
courage tbe controversial spirit. While
Mr. Armistead has papers qf recommen
dation from various well known persons,
bis experience here shows that it is not
wise to exercise the undisputed right to
discuss religious subjects, unless endorsed
by some responsible Christian organization.
The Firemen.
The different fire companies of the city
are now busily engaged making every
preparation fqrthe Anderson tournament.
Tbe boy» are getting in good trim to ’.bring
away tbe prizes. Os course all three of
the Athens companies cannot capture the
first prize, but we venture to say that no
companies w.Lio participate in the races
will make better records than the Athens
trio. Hope, under the careful guidance
Capt. Ed. Hopkinson, will no doubt make
a record that no company need be ashamed
of, and which will be equaled by few.—
The Hope boys are confident of success.—
No. 5, who made such a fine record last
May, will also “make the run,” and will
be in charge of Capt. W. F. Dorsey. This
is comparatively a young company, hav
ing been in existence only about one year,
aud yet, it is one of tbe fastest in the State,
and the boys expeet to win fresh laurels
on South Carolina soil. No. 4, whose
membership comprises the “light foots” of
East Athens, will also be on band, and will
make some of their lightning runs. Capt.
John Dootson will have the No. 4 boys'
under his control, and we congratulate
him on having so fine a team. Below will
be found a list of the prizes :
Reel, run 125 yards, reel off 50 feet of
hose, couple butt to engine, aud show wa
ter through nozzle, first prize, SIOO. Sec
ond prize, SSO.
Grab race, first and only prize, $23.
100 yards foot race, first prize, $lO. Sec
ond prize $5.
Steamer—quickest steam, SIOO. Bucket
contest, SIOO. Distance, $25.
NOTES.
Messrs. Jno. Knox, from Hope, Gus
Nicholson, from No. 5, aud Jno. Dootson,
from No. 4, will represent their respective
companies in the foot race. This will be
one of the most interesting features to the
Athens boys.
Engineers, Will Williford and Ham Os
borne, will win the contest for the quickest
steam, bucket contest, and distance with
the Hope steamer. These are two of the
best engineers in the State.
Mr. Kopkinson says that Dude Dottery
and Coarlie Childers can make the quick
est couplings of any two men in the State.

Children’s Day in Winterville.
Winterville, May 15,1888.
Tbe annals of our little hamlet unfolded
one of its brightest pages on last Sunday.
As the forces of darkness surrendered to
tbe powers of light, and the golden smites
of Providence greeted tbe new-born day
in its infant beauty, the little ones of our
community were happily engaged prepar
ing for an entertainment, known as “Chil
dren’s Day,” to be given under the auspices
of tbe Methodist Sunday school. The
impression had gone forth that there was
something rich iu store for those who
would be fortunate enough to witness the
exercises. But “tbe Half had not been
told”—tbe most extravagant speculation
proved to be only a shadow of tbe true
substance. At 9 o’clock, tbe old bell In the
tower announced to the throng outside
that “Children’s Day” bad dawned. The
anxious crowd was not slow to answer the
summons, and the church was soon filled
to its utmost capacity. The flora! decora
tions were grandly beautiful, and the gen*
eral effect was produced with such perfect
harmony, that one could easily imagine
themselves seated in a Celestial garden.—
The programme was introduced by a
song specially suited to the occasion, after
which, Rev. Mr. Rivers delivered an elab
orate address on “Tbe Mission of Flowers,”
in which he described very graphically
their purity and unselfish beauty, and pre
sented the model picture to vain and en
vious humanity for emulation. It was
evidently a pet theme with the speaker
from the masterly manner in which he
handled his subject. Riveling tbe atten
tion of his bearers in the beginning, he
held it undivided to th- end, and the gen
eral verdict of the audience was, “It was a
very happy effort.” Then followed the
tl >ral offerings bv the children. Each
representing a different flower, would qui
etly march around the throne and deposit
in silence before the king the beauties of
their own lives ns tokens of love and grat
itude for the kindly consideration of the
great gardener. After witnessing the de
votional exercises of these little emblems
of Paradise, we are prepared to more fully
appreciate the declaration of our Savior,
“that of such is the kingdom of Heaven.”
In conclusion, it was the pleasure of the
congregation to listen to a refreshing solo
by Miss Pearl Rivers, entitled, '‘Consider
the Lilies.” To say tbe day was a success,
would be a very mild way to express it. —
With pardonable pride, I challenge any
community, city or county, to produce a
like programme with equal brilliancy ; and
be it said to the untiring energy and cease
less devotion of Mrs. Rivers, tbe success
of the occasion is due. She sowed the
seed, cultivated the plant, and saw it blo«m
beautifully in the end. R. T. M.

east.

and streets running obliquely shall retain
their present names.
Resolved, further, that the houses be
numbered upon the plan- of allotting one
hundred numbers to each block.

names, houses to be numbered as indicated
in Aiderman Griffeth’s resolutions.
Tbe substitute was put and lost.
The resolution of Aiderman Griffeth was
then put and adopted.
Yeas —Griffeth, Barrow, McKinnon.

affii mative.
On motion of Aiderman Griffeth council

and bouses. Bids were made by Mr,
House, C. W. Parr and *W. K. Reynolds.
On motion of Alderman Hunnicutt the
bids were referred to the Street Committee!
and the committee authorized and empow
ered to receive further bids, and award
the contract for the work upon best terms
possible.
A petition was read, signed by J. H.
Dorsey, E. T. Brown, F. G. Uinbach and
others, asking council to work Cleveland

able ; referred to Street committee with
power to act.

and adopted.
Be it ordained by the mayor and council
of tbe city of Athens, and it is hereby
ordained by the authority of the same that
any dog or dogs found running at large on
tbe streets of said city, without being se
curely muzzled shall be impounded by the
police, kept impounded for five days, and
shall be released only upon the payment
by tbe owner of two dollars. If at the
expiration of five days the owner does not
pay said two dollars, tbe dog shall be
killed.
This ordinance is not to conflict with
the ordinance requiring owners of dogs to
buy tags for their dogs, which said ordi
nance is continued of force.

Mr. Editor: I and my neighbors have
been led so many times into buying differ
ent things for the liver, kidneys and blood,
that have done us more harm than good,
I feel it due your readers to advise them
when an honest and goc.d medicine like
Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic can be had.
Yours truly,

The catarrh remedy, Ely’s Cream Balm
has proved most satisfactory. Prior to
two months ago I had not breathed freely
through my nose for three years now I am
but little bothered in that respect. The
pain has left my head as have most other
disagreeable symptoms. I confldenly be
lieve it to be a sure cure.—S. M. Logan,

I have used one bottle of Ely’s Cream
Balm and it is the best remedy I have
found for catarrh in fifteen years. V. G.
