For twenty-live years he had been devoting his time to farming. He paid agiowing tribute to young farmers, snd said it was through tom that the South must succeed. We needed their hope, their cheer and their methods. We need young men to take hold of agriculture that we may have a change ot method. We are told that the cultivation of cotton is the ruin of onr country; yet how are we to stop it. « no longer relied upon the old men, is to the young farmers for her scue. God speed the young farmer. Col. P. W. Alexander was then intro duced and delivered an address on the management, selection and protlta of Jer sey cattle. He said that thirty months ago he invested $780 in Jerseys, and he wonld have no difficulty in selling them for 14.000, to say nothing of what had been made by the sale of the rich, golden butter, which finds ready customers at fifty cents per pound delivered to the express agent st Marietta. He spoke of his love for the mild-eyed beauties, and endeavored to im press upon the young farmers the value of cattle-raising, especially the blooded ani mals. Major 8idney Herbert then made n few remarks about Jerseys, and mentioned manner in which Atlanta At half-past five o'clock Walter Gar- rlghty pulled the bell-line, and the excur sion car (teamed into Macon with its tired, but merry crowd. YOU CAN'T ALWAYS TELL Which Glde of Your Bread le Buttered— With Suttcrlno. The grocers and whisky men are dis cussing the law regarding the sale of adul terated food and drink. Judge Simmons, In ids charge tu the grand jury, called special attention to this new law, which we give below; “Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia, tliat from and after tbo passage of this act, it shall not be law ful for any person, in bis own right or as agent for another, to willfully and know ingly sell or offer for sale in this State, any adulterated article of food or drink, unless the package or vessel containing the same bos. attached thereto, a true and correct analysis of the article or thing therein con tained, and notice thereof given to each and every purchaser when such article or thing may be offered for sale, that the ar ticle or thing is adulterated. “Section 2. And be it further enacted, that any person or persons violating the first section of tbls act shall State. “Sec. 3. Bo it further enacted that it shall be the duty ot each and every grand jury in tiic several counties of this State to diligently inquire into any violation of the ilrstsectionofthis act. and true present ments make of oil violations of the same, and it shall be the duty of the judges of the Superior Courts In the State to bring tills act to the attention of grand jurors at each term of the court iu the several coun ties of this State for two years next after the passage of this act.” Sec. 4. Repeals conflicting laws. One grocer informed us that perhaps butter was adulterated more than any art! cle sold by him, but the word “butterine" was branded on every keg of that article. This is not in compliance with the law, however, as the analysis should appear with the name. The grocer said that in some cases he was deceived himself in butter, and that it was almost on impossi bility to detect the difference. To prove this, be went to the rear ot the store and returned with two data of what appeared to be bntter, and asked us to distinguish between the false, and the true. Both samples had a butterish look, a butterish •mcfl and a butterish taste. We made a haphazard guess at hia Ooshen, and suc ceeded in guessing aright. He said he did not sell much ot thebutterine; hesupplied one hotel and a few boarding houses, but very little was sold to individuals. It sold for thirty and thirty-Qve cents a pound. A drummer for one of the largest grocery houses in New York in formed us that so successfully did the butterine makers imitate the genuine article, that for along time his house supplied its customers with large quantities of bogus butter, and ignorantly guaranteed every pound of it to be a prime article of Gosben. By an accident the fraud was discovered. The dairymen who supplied his house, in order to compete with the butterine makers, bad gone into the manufacture, and were turning out an CEORCIA BAPTISTS. Last Day's Proceedings of their Conven tion In Atlanta. The members of the convention met on Saturday night to hear the annual address before the Georgia Baptist Historical So ciety by Dr. R. B. Headden, of Rome. His subject was—'“Faithfulness to the Scrip tures a characteristic of Baptists." He treated the subject ably and eloquently, and was listened to attentively by a large audience. A part of the proceedings of this meeting was tbe presentation of a life- sized portrait of the late MrB. B. M. San ders, who so notably assisted her di-tin* S titihed husband in tbe management of le domestic affairs of Mercer Institute and Mercer University. Tbe portrait had College, LaGrange, Ga. The portrait was presented by the societv to Mercer Univer sity in a short address by tbe presi dent of tho society, Dr. W. L. Kilpatrick, and was, in tbe name of tbe University, reeelved, in a felicitous speech, iv Dr. B.F. Tharpc, of Perry, a member f the first graduating class forty years ago. In hia speech he alluded to the days of old, making the speech of the occasion, one of striking interest. It so happened that there was prasent Hon. I. 0. McDan iel, father of our Executive, who was a tu tor in Mercer University during the first year of Its existence ana in Mercer Insti tute during all the years of its existence, a man yet hale and hearty at an advanced age in life. The portrait of Mrs. Sanders was turned over to Dr. Battle, the able and courteous president of the University, and now graces the walls of Mercer. Another aged Baptist layman was pres ent at the convention, in the person of Hon. Mark A. Cooper, now in his eighty fourth year, and able to walk as erect end in as stately a manner as in bis yonnger and more active days. He was Invited to a seat on the floor of the body, and re ceived a public greeting. MONDAY, 28TB. On Monday a variety of reports were read and adopted, at which I had a glance only. A report on temperance was adopted, which recommended local option in the different counties. The report on education gave tbo condi tion of tour various, and numerous, Georgia Baptist educational institutions, male and female—so to write—and asserted that, since the government had, in a meas ure, taken in hand the matter of education, the spirit of education outside of the cities was at a low ebb; parents have lost much of the interest end sense of reeponsibiiity which thould animate them, and that to the children a lack of interest in educa tion had thus ibeen communicated.

Sctfoola of Technology- Horning News. The Timet, speaking for England, realizes the mistake the English people have made in neglecting to give encour agement to technical schools. In this country these schools are located in the Northern States. They have not yet found a place in the South. The effort made to secure an appropriation from the last Legislature of this State for a school of this description in Georgia was a failure. There were a few men in the Legislature who appreciated the advantages of technical schools, but many argent requests of a host of friends, lion. F. D.
