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.

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.— The place to get good jewelry, watches and spectacles is at Skiff, the jewelers.

Try it and be convinced. Wade <fe Sledge. 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. Guy Hodgson will “whoop ’em up" for No. 5. » » For the Chronicle. 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. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. Council Chamber, Athens, Ga., ) May 14,4 o'clock, p. m. f Council met this evening pursuant to adjournment. Present, His Honor Mayor Hodgson and Aldermen Dooison, McKin non, Murray, McDowell, Griffeth, Hunni cutt and Barrow. Tbe appeal case of John Manyfield, col., was called, and after hearing the evidence in the case and argument" by council, the decision of tbe Mayor was reversed. Tbe street committee made a verbal re port in regard to numbering streets and houses. Aiderman Murray favored the plan of numbering all streets running north and south, aud lettering all streets runing east and west. Aiderman Griffelh favored retaining the present names of all streets running east and west, and numbering streets running north and south After some discussion of the queetion Alderman Griffeth offered the following resolution: Resolved, that all streets running east and west shall retain their present names, aud all streets running north and south at right angles with the named streets shall be numbered, the numbering to commence at the western limits of the city and run east. Resolved, further, that all short streets 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. Aiderman McDowell moved as a substi' tute that all the streets retain their present 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. Nays—Murray, Hunnicutt, McDowell. The Mayor cast tbe deciding vote in the affii mative. On motion of Aiderman Griffeth council then received bids foi numbering streets 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 Avenue, at least sufficient to make it pass able ; referred to Street committee with power to act. The question of purchasing a new safe for the city clerk’s office was referred to ccnnnittee on public property with power to act. On motion of Aiderman Griffeth the rules were suspended. The following ordinance was then read 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. Council then adjourned. W. A. Gilleland, Clerk. Wants the Facts Known. 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.
