MB. DUPONT GUERRY.
How He Acted la thr Convention
in 1883.
Macon Telegraph.
“Well done, Dupont Guerry! You
defeated Major Bacon In 1883.
1 find the above in the report of Mr.
Simmons* Introduction of Mr. Dupont
Guerry in Americus on the 11th. It Is
true, Mr. Editor, that Mr. Dupont
Guerry did prevent the nomination ol
Major Bacon iu the convention of
1883. But how did he do it? Ah!
how did he do it? Mr. Guerry knows
very well how he came to be placed
on the conference commmittee. He
knows what pledges he made and I
know* who vouched for his integrity
and reliability.
Mr. Guerry knows what transpired
in that committee, lie knows that he
repeatedly said that he would vote for
Maj. Bacon under the contingency of
Gov. McDaniels’* withdrawal. He
knows that be asked his colleague to so
inform Maj. Bacon’s friends in the
committee of his purpose so to do,
under the above contiugeney; that he
wanted an excuse—something to justi
fy him at home—as the people of
Americus were very much opposed to
Maj. Bacon’s nomination.
This was the third day of the con-
l>e made. Finally the contingency
happened. Gov. McDaniels’* name was
withdrawn.
Major Bacon got nine votes and Mr.
Boynton got eight votes. 3Ir. Guerry
held for the time the nomination of
Major Bacon in his hands. He knows
how he used the privilege and what
became of his repeated pledges. In
stead of easting his vote for Major
Bacon, as he had promised to do, lie
asked the indulgence of the committee
to allow him to consult witli his col
leagues from Sumter. As he left the
committee-room Mr. Henry Grady
called one General Young, a friend of
Governor Boynton’s, on the committee,
and on General Young’s return Gover
nor Boynton’s name was withdrawn
and Governor McDaniel again placed
in nomination, who received the six
Boynton votes and the four votes from
SIM JONES.

When a fellow can’t answer anoth
er’s arguments how mad lie always
gets. The Atlanta Journal relieves its
anger thus: “Four tonne the Democ
racy of Fulton endorses Gordon and
condemns Bacon—Felton hybrulism.”
The Nashville American speaking of
the recent celebration in the North,
says it was “a delibrately planned,
coolly concocted, shameless and dis
graceful plot to utilize the memory of
the nation’s dead to the corrupt and
unscrupulous party in power.”
The Atlanta statesmen take it by
turns. Steve Dorsey O’Brien went to
Mitchell, and Henry Grady went in
person to Dooly to superintend the job,
while to Col. Reube Arnold was
awarded Pickens as the field for his
exploits. But there is no Atlanta ring!
No!
The Rev. Sam Jones is taking a
short rest after his Baltimore labors.
He was In Atlanta a few days since.
The Constitution interviewed him. In
deed their interviews are frequent, but
even Sam Jones is powerless to con
vert the Constitution into tbe ways of
truth. '
The Savannah News hardly ever
stoops to be lacetious. But a little
humor will out sometimes. It says:
“Wooden bats are expected to become
fashionable about next year. They
will be made of wood pulp, and will be
peculiarly appropriate for block
heads.’*
The detectives who hunted up the
men who put tiie impediments on the
track which caused the disaster to the
night express on the Central road at
Rogers, near Milieu, arrested two
tramps recently who had been put off
the train a few days before that. The
Ceutral road will prosecute the case
vigorously.
The Dawson Journal alluding to
Bacon’s speech in that city says: “At
the close of the address the speaker was
surrounded by his numerous admirers,
among whom were members of his old
regiment, the 9th Ga.. who testify to
the 3Iajor’s gallantry during the war
ami who are now supporting him In the
present contest.”
Bartow county Is out of debt and
has $4,000 in the treasury. Yet, Dr.
Felton, whom 31 r. Guerry compared
to llerr Most and citizen Schwab, lives
there and takes a prominent part in
his county affairs. The old Doctor does
not seetn, somehow, to lie such a des-
tructionist.ut home.
Like » Fool She Went and Gal
Married.
In recently making the trip In
stage-coach over the rugged range of
hills called the “Barahoo Bluffs,” be
tween the towns ot Lodi and Bamboo,
in Wisconsin, the coachful of squeezed
ami jolted passeugers found some re
lief from the tediousness of the jour
ney in the original remarks which
from time to time, fell from the lips of
of au elderly woman who was one of
the company. She persisted in ex
pressing great contempt for the other
sex, and for married life generally,
ami intimated that sueli had always
been her opiniou; and as it had pre
viously leaked out from her conversa
tion that she had married aud raised
a large family of children, I ventured
to ask how it happened that with the
feelings of contempt she had from the
first felt for the men she ever could
have married one of them.
“Wa’al,” said she, “young man,
I’ll tell you jest how it *twas. When
1 was a little gal I lived in a family
where there was an old |inaid, who, in
going up stairs to bed, had to go
through an entry way where there was
a pile of potatoes iu one corner, and
she used to make me go and cover ’em
up with a blanket before she went by
’em, for fear they’d see her, ’cause they
had eyes. Wa’al, thinks I, if old maids
is like that, I won’t be one nohow. So
you see, as soou as 1 got old enough,
like a fool, I went and got married "
The Rev. Samuel P. Jones Is report
ed to have said: “If any man says that
only immersion is baptism, tell hltn
say be Is a liar.” In explanation of
this, Mr. Jones declares in ^publica
tion made in the Constitwttifk, that
what he did say was as fo^q\Vs: “If
any man approaches you itfmETlt
to proselyte you a3 by telling Jou that
immersion is the only and exclusive
fonn of Christian baptism tell
them that Sara Jones says thev are
liars.”
It is not my habitto bring rilling for
railing, nor am I now In tbe least
degree tempted to depart from my
custom. 1 will not even say, as Mich
ael the archangel said to Satan, “The
Lord rebuke tnee”—(Jud. 9). I will
only say that I regard that Mr. Jones
has not paid that which 1 think Is due
to the appostolic precept, “Be court
eous.” 1 Peter 3: 9.
3(r. Jones informs the public that he
was led to use the language above
quoted on account of the alleged con
duct of some Baptists In Columbus,
Miss., and ipsists in his explanation,
that bis speech “needs no defense,”
by the facts in the case, and declares
that “tbe above has always been tbe
tenor of his preaching In like emer
gencies.” 1 do not see that the bad
conduct alleged is any evidence what
ever that laud the millious who agree
with me are liars; and iu behalf of
myself and of the millions referred, to
l respectfully object to the language
used, and respeetfully deny the cliarge
preferred.
I shall not permit myself to doubt
that some one told Mr. Jones that cer
tain Baptist* had said and done tbe
foolish aud wicked things described by
him, but I must object to the ' recep
tion of the evidence unless the wit
nesses are known and confronted with
those whom they accuse. A little sift
ing might show* that Mr. Jones was
wholly misinformed. Admitting, how
ever, that some persons claiming to
be Baptists were guilty of what
is charged, then I have to say that
their conduct was not such as is* sanc
tioned by Baptist churches. Having
been myself a Baptist for more than
fifty years, and a minister for nearly
forty years. It will not be considered
amiss if 1 claim to know the doctrines
and customs of the denomination to
w hich I belong. 1 may be believed
then w’hen I declare that it is no part
of our faith that “a mail is damned if
he is not immersed.” On the con
trary we never baptize any one until
we have satisfactory evidence that he
is already saved; and so far as I know,
we are the only people in the world
of w’hom tills cau be said with truth. 1
will uot accuse Mr. Jones of evil Inten
tion, but 1 am constraiued to say, that
the pen picture of tbe Baptist brotlier-
hood presented in his explanation is a
gross caricature of one of the largest,
most active, and most influential bodies
of Christians iu the United States.

that small men cannot handle wisely

people have a deep interest. In fact,
the welfare of the State is to a certain
extent dependent upon them. The

Boston Commercial Bulletin.
The ancient town of 3Iedford, the
seat of the Lawrence distillery, has for
many years been famous for the excel
lent quality of its spirituous product,
which has been attributed to the puri
ty of its water and the pains taken in
preparing and refining it. So great i'
its reputation among the trade that
the term “Old 3Iedford” Is now ap
plied to all choice grades of rum im
proved by age. But the late Rev.
Charles Brooks, an orthordox clergy
man, who many* years ago was the es
teemed and talented pastor of a large
society in that town, was unversed in
bar-room literature, and a connois
seur only in commnnion -vine. So it
happened one time that be was in
duct d to attend a special town meet
ing, called to consider some matter of
local interest to the citizens; and the
proposition before it meeting his cor
dial approbation, he got up aud made a
rousing speecli in its favor, just before
the vote was taken, winding up with
the emphatic declaration 1 “I do love
old Medford.” Of course this pathetic
sentiment was greeted with rounds of
applause, mingled, however, with such
boisterous laughter as to irritate tbe
unsophisticated parson, and led him to
think that bis sincerity was dis
credited. So lie turned fiercely upon
his auditors and exclaimed with no
little wariutii:
“Well, I do, gentlemen, whether
you believe it or not.”
This brought down the house with
uproarious merriment, and cries of
“Good for you,” “We don’t doubt
your word,* sir,” “Do you take it
straight?” “Are you going to shout?”
And it was not until one of his parish
ioners came to the rescue that the
bewildered parsou was able to com
prehend the misconstruction put upou
his remarks.

Pall Mall Gazette.
A-pretty story, it one could believe
it, is told by tne Paris correspondent
of a Vienna paper. A short time ago a
matinee ramdoaie was given by the
Duchess Lrmoute, and among the
guests was the charming bride-elect of
President Cleveland, then in Paris
completing her trousseau. The young
iady was the object of many marks ot
distinction, the high aristocracy sur
rounded her, and there was much talk
of her position. One lady, the daugh
ter-in-law of the Duchesse de Persig-
ny, condoled with 31 is* Folsom because
she would have no title as the wife of a
Republican President, .“All would be
well, only you will have no title.” said
she; “you will only be called Mrs.
Cleveland.” “But that name is ouly
for straugers,” was the answer ot the
fair American; “t le President has for
intimacy conferred upon me a very
particular title.” Everybody looked
,up curiously,aud blushing deeply. Miss
Folsotn added, “He calls uie—-his dar-
llug. Can a wife desire a better
title?” The hostess embraced her
amiable guest, remarking, “You are
right, aud you appeal to me as if you
would keep tbe title to the end of your
life.” a

A Society Event that Has Thrown
All Others in the Shade.
New York, June 5.—The romantic
marriage of the President and Miss
Frankie Folsom has so absorbed socie
ty as to throw all other events .quite
into the shade. One or two weddings
have occurred, but they sank into in
significance beside tbe great national
weddin.
The first day that Miss Folsom Went
out riding I happened to be making a
call at the Sturtevent House, which is
directly opposite the Gilsey House, at
which she was stopping. She did not
pass out of the regular ladie’s en
trance of the hotel but through Mr.
Breslin’s private house, whicn con
nects with the Gilsey House. She
passed so quickly down the front steps
into the carriage that only a glance
could be had, aud 1 might not have
known at all that I was gazing at the
future mistress of the White Honse
but for the resemblance to her pretty
cousin, Agnes Folsom, who from
church singer took up comic opera and

face, one would also speak of her as a
fine, commanding woman. Both the
cousins have prominent noses, very
pretty mouths and short, fascinating
chins. Their faces are piquant, anu

cause their noses are rather large.

Mrs. Cleveland’s was evidently takes a
long time ago, aud Miss Agnes. Fol

that they were relatives was very ap

Even the trades people are absorbed
with the matrimonial subject, and one
dealer iu trunks hung out a huge
placard announcing the sale of bridal
trunks, while on the sidewalk were
two huge trunks, one marked Grover
Cleveland and the other 3Irs. Grover
Cleveland.
Decoration day gave the people an
opportunity of seeing tbe President,
who certainly looked unusually bright
and happy. He laughed heartily when
Gilmore’s Band in passing played the
‘Wedding March,” and looked up at
the windows of the Fifth Avenue Hotel

The Days of Lang Syne,
Americas Republican.
Glancing over the old files of the
Sumter Republican, our eye rests upon
the following under issne of April 24,
1863:
“The following is a list of the farm
ers names who have generously sub
scribed the number of business of corn
opposite their names, at $1 per bushel,
and agree to hold it subject to the order
of the inferior Court, for the benefit of
indigent soldiers families In Sumter
county: T. M. Furlow 600, W. W.
Barlow 100, P. H. Oliver 100, John
Comer 100, John Feel 100, D. B.
Adams 100, H.J. Walker 100, J. V.
Price 100, Howell Cobb 100, A. A.
Adams 100, C. W. Felder 100, J. H.
Wallace 100, R. J. Hodges 100, James
Weaver 72.”
Sixteen others subscribed 50 bushels
each, while twenty-five more put
down amounts ranging from 40 to 5
bushels. The com was worth many
rimes more than the price expressed,
in the currency of the day, and each
gentleman on the list would, If need
fe, have cheerfully donated tbe
amount of his subscriptions. Even as
early as the spring of *63 tbe question
of force had come to he a serious one
with the Confederacy, leading the
Richmond Enquirer to say:
“The custom of three* meals a day
should be abandoned, two are amply
sufficient; it is a habit—this eating
three meals a day—aud, at present, -a
bad habit. We can accustom ourselves
to two meals, and to two light meals at

right to have claims. They had fought,

Horse Shoe, and had scalped over so
many Creeks and Chickasaws, and
been with Sam Houston at tbe Alamo
■yes sir! at the Alamo—aud “on the
Rio Grande with their rifles In hand,”
and had stood on Buena Vista’s bloody
heights, and scaled the ramparts of
the world-famous Chepultepec. Some
of those claimants were half horse and
half alligator, an “amphibious” sort
of character; others were gentlemanly
men, rnucri given to hospitality of the
rough-and-ready kind. Ot the latter
description was Col. Rogers, who oc
cupied an apartment at Mrs. Shackel
ford’s, an Pennsylvania avenue, oppo
site Willard’s Hotel. The Colonel
em played as bis solicitor with Congress
another military gentleman. Col.
Stambaugb, of Lancaster, Pa., a
bright-eyed old fellow, a keen cock
fighter and an adept at poker or any
other game of cards, still remembered
at Washington as a trusty henchman
of James Buchauan. One day Rogers
was the recipient of the gratifying
news that his claim was going through,
had passed one house and been favor
ably reported in the other. As a testi
monial of his joy he determined to
jive a grand ’possum supper, to which
le invited all his friends, young and
old, in Congress and out. The apart
ment of Rogers, which was also his
bedroom, had an open fireplace, In
which, on the eveufng of the supper,
a large fire was blazing, a peck of po
tatoes roasting in the ashes beneath,
and four fat *posfums from tbe Fair
fax Hills suspended on wires from the
mantel, and slofiiy turning as they,
dripped and sizzled before the heat.
They who entered the room at an early
hour were aware of the presence of
a motley crowd, Senators and ex-Sen-
ators, members and ex-members, cor
respondents and lobbyists. The air
was'redoient with whisky, roasted po
tatoes and’possum fat. On the bed,
in an inebriate condition, lay the lauk
form of Gen. Eaton, the biographer of
Jackson and his Secretary of War.
The red face of Felix Grundy McCon
nell shone like a meteor on one side of
the fire; on the other side the pale
visage of Beau Hickman peered greed
ily over the anticipated feast. Macrae,
Harriman, Hart and other jovial repre
sentatives of the press were to the fore,
and all !u high glee, drinking whisky
and eating roast potatoes, and waiting
impatiently the dishing up of the
’possums. Suddenly Col. Stambaugh
entered, and observing with contempt
bis friend Rogers’ primitive style of
hospitality, sent down to Butler’s res
taurant ou the corner aud ordered an
elegant supper of turkey, oysters and
champagne. This agreeable addition
to the menu afforded such universal
satisfaction that most of the company
determined to make a night of it, and
poor, Mrs. Shackelford’s slumbers
were In consequence, often disturbed
by the sounds of revelry in the Colo

Lire Stock for the South,
American Agriculturist.
Experience has been shown that cer
tain breeds of domestic animals suc
ceed admirably in the South, and be
come acclimated without difficulty.
The Jersey, Ayrshire and Devon
among cattle; the South Down,Merino
and Scotch Chevoit among sheep; the
Berkshire swine, aud the Hambleton
ian-Morgan strains of horses, all do
well there, and serve their purposes in
the best manner. *The Jersey has been
brought Into the South In large num
bers, aud has been found as hardy ,aml
valuable for the dairy, as:in auy other
locality. The native Southern cows
mix .well with this breed and as dairy
ing Is bound to become a prominent in
terest* in the South very soon, it Is
probable that the number of Je&eys
will largely increase. State Jersey
associations are forming, and local
herd-books for each State will soon be
the rule. Ayrshires are also popular
for dairy purposes, And for rangingfor

The Devons, however, will supplant
them before long, because of their ex
cellence for the yoke and the

when the Jersevs and Ayshires will
probably divide the field between
them.
As regards sheep, the main purpose
is at present wool, but before long,
mutton will become valuable, and the
markets for this meat are close at
hand. The prevailing hog and homi

steadily advancing culture of the pop

mutton is fast taking the pfece of West

South iu this respect, and the Merino

Mitchell County Blecti.n*
From an editorial in the Camilla
Clarion we take the following extract
regard to the election in Mitchell,
on Jane 5th. We have not room to
gwbllsh the whole article, bat it is dae
the editor to say if he disapproved of
the Atlanta ring's- interference and its
sending out agents to set oat free
whiskey and influence votes by money
brought from Atlanta for the purpoee,
he fails to say so. To him it is
merely a “novel feature.” Here is the
extract:
“There was one novel feature of the
election. Late on Friday afternoon
one O'Bryan arrived in town from At-
, He
reported immediately to
the leaders of the Gordon men that he
was sent by tbedubin Atlanta to help
carry the county for Gordon and that
lie had brought money with him for
that purpose. The Gordon men in
form us that O’ Bryan’s money paid the
hack fare and railroad rare Of about
thirty men w more who voted for
Gordon and these votes decided the
day. The Gordon men, with some ex
ceptions. justify the interference of
O’Bryan and the Atlanta oommlttee.
Tne Gordon men did jnst what any
body else would do In using money te

of the Atlanta Gordon committee in
■ending a man with a pockenul of
money to work directly in tbe elections

sensation. O’Bryarihoastinsdy said to
a citizen of Camilla, “If I had not
come down, Mitchell would have gone
for Bacon.”

WASHINGTON SLANDERS.

Washington, June 5.—The ladies of
Washington society are wliispering
among themselves theontllnes of a ma
licious story started by some woman
who noises a grievance because the
was not invited to the White Hi
wedding. As somebody win give the
yarn publicity, it is perhaps wiser to
teU it now for the purpose of demol
ishing it. The gossips begin by declar
ing that every relative of the President
wss opposed to tbe match, and that
they did not hesitate to say so. The
aoswer to this is that Hiss

welcomed by tbe President’s sister in
tbe warmest manner on her arrival in
Washington. While as a matter of
fact tbe President was asleep when his

A LOOKER ON
Discourses Upon the Cube mate-
rial Canvas*.
To i loooker on the course of the
News and Advertiser thus far in
the pending canvass is commendable,
from the fact that not a stick of fnel
has been contributed to feed the
flame, nor one deleterious Ingredient
added to 'increase an unhappy ebuli-
tlon of passion and personalism.
Could the present contest be, for one
moment, divested of all partisan feel
ing or preference, what, iu all serious
ness, would be the aspirations of either
of the distinguished gentlemen when
weighed hi the balances along side of
the financial depression, want of con
fidence and profound discontent per
vading the masses everywhere?
Granting the success of either ot the
candidates, which of their subsequent
counsels shall we confidently accept
and apply as the medicinal leaves for
the healing of the nations?
Is it in the power of either of these
valiant leaders, vict armis, to drag that
everlasting dead beat and “old man of
the sea,” from tbe -over-burdened
shoulders of struggling enterprise ? If
no matural change for the better is
to be wrought, then It would really
seem, to an unprejudiced looker on,
that the laying of this untimely em
bargo upon the approaching harvest-
fields and work shops, this sudden out
growth and prolific crops of cross-roads
statesmen aud curbstone politicians,
this feverish disturbance of the public
pulse aud peace, is but the similitude of
“Ocean into tempest toot, to waft
A feather or to mown a fiy”
Should he survive the centra] fire and
thunder-scars of the red field, one of
the distinguished gentlemen Is bound
at last to reach the lofhr good of hi*
desire, and what of it? That will not
necessitate a wholesale emigration
from Georgia. No, when the political
cyclone has overblown, when tiie fire
of partisan prejudice and hate shall
smoulder in ashes, and the public
mind resume its uormal quietude and
thoughtfumess, we can claim, as our
own, at least one regretful solace. We
shall, when is all over, realize them, if
we cannot now, that about the size
of an antagonism, which, for weary
raohths has imperiled Democratic uni
fication in Georgia, was a mad strag
gle to effect some sort of adjustment
as to the infinltislmal difference exist

Life is a bard battle. From tiie

Tbe second part of tbe story is to
the effect that there was a family quar
rel at the White House on the morning
of the wedding. Mrs. Hoyt insisted,
tbe story goes, that tbe arrangements
already made should be changed, aud
at the last moment tbe mother of the
bride took occasion to
ions that were radically
those held by the other female mem
bers of the household. With great
particularity this tale is gone into, aud
its amplifications would easily crowd
a column. As a neat climax the last
lady I heard tell tbe story added that
the President himself first sent his
faithful secretary toqueli the wrangle,
bat finally had to go himself, in bis
official dignity, aud that swearing like
the troops of Flanders, he threateneu
to clear the house and be married on
the front porch, with an admiring*na
tion for witnesses. I expect to read
this story in all Its interesting details
in some enterprising journal to mor
row, and refer to it thus briefly iu
order to show tbe readers of the
aid what they will escape. The story
has wide circulation, but is absolutely
baseless.
Rev. R. X. Hanks.
The following short biography of
Rev. B. T. Hanks, formerly the be
loved pastor of the Albany- Baptist
church, will prove of interest to his
many friends andadmirers of this city.
It is clipped from “The Home and
Sunday School,” a Sabbath school
paper published in Dallas, Texas.
“Born In Pickens county,* Alabama,
April 23, 1800. Had eight brothers
and four sisters, and was the eighth
child. His father did not believe that
boys should go to school at an earlier
age than ten years. At that time the
war came on, and broke up the schools.
For four years he had no opportuni
ties for an education, so bis education
did not really begin until his fifteenth
year. He began then at the beginning,
and passed rapidly through the text-
bookslused in the lower schools. He
was educated by Rev. John W. Taylor
aud Prof. John Stinson, iu High
Schools, at Howard College, Alabama,
Richmond College, Virginia, and at
the Southern Baptist Theological Sem
inary, where he took diplomas in six
of the schools.
In 1872, he was licensed to preach in
Dalton, Ga., where he had read law.
Two years later be was ordained by
the same church. He was both licensed
and ordained under tbe pastorate ot
Rev. George A Lotton. While at
school he served country and village
churches, and preached* in meet)*
during vacations, thus paying his
lege expenses.
His first pastorate was at Dalton,
Ga., where he remained three years,
beginning in the fall of 1876. Me
served next at Albany, where he stayed
four years. From that place he was
called to Dallas, where he has been
three and a half years. When he came
here, our people were divided. There
were two churches, and such a state o»
feeling as required a pastor to act with
great wisdom and discretion. He was
wise enough for the situation, and bj*
his judicious course helped to secure
the uuion of the two churches. He was
unanimously chosen as pastor of the
united cuurcb: His work has been
greatly blessed. The people once di-
CRANKS.
Besides the one hundred thousand
insane persons behind asylum walls In
the United States, there m
hundred thousand affected with a mild
er insanity which. If not endangering
life, certainly disturbs tbe peace of bet
ter regulated minds. These unconfined..
insane are popularly known as
They are about as universal as
in summer ani full as.pestiferous
They abound In every calling,
tion and place—in religious, political,
social and business life. Some of them
are bora cranks, some achieve cranki
ness while all people encountering tJ
have crankiness thrust upou them.
A year ago there was an assemblage
on a certain night at a village In Maine
of a hundred or more persons, attired
in white robes, to greet tbe destruction
of the world, which they declared
would occur st dawn of the following
day. Only a few weeks prior to that
performance, a like one was reported
from Chicago, and another from an
Iowa town.
The streets of New York and other
cities are made noisy after nightfall by
vlded, are most happy iu their united
“ sir love f
work, and in their love for their pas
tor.- The spiritual condition of the
church is very fine. A spirit of relig
ious inquiry pervades the cong
continually, and baptisms have oc
curred nearly every week for two
years. Bro. Hanks has few equals as
a pastor. With a sympathetic heart
and a sharp eye to read the wants and
needs of his people, he is ever among
them, in the right place at tbe rir*-‘
time, speaking the right word or doi
the right thing. His preaching
plain, scriptural, warm and tender. It
is easy fresh, with most happily chosen
words, and full of the richest spiritual
life. He is an active worker in the
Sunday school, and this has been a
great help to his ministry. For nearly
twovearshe has prepared the inter-
diate Sunday school lesson for this
paper. These preparations have been
everywhere admired, and by them he
has had a greatly enlarged ministry,
for they are studlel by thousands
every week. From tbe beginning, he
has been one of the warmest and truest
friends of our paper, always ready to
do a needed service and give the need
ed counsel. Though a young man, he
U regarded as a wise and safe leader
in our denominational councils and
work. He has a breadth of view and
a fairness of spirit that peculiarly fit
him for the important part he has been
called to take in our Texas work.
There is before him a career of unusual
promise.

Editors News and Advertiser:
In the communication of your Baker
county correspondent, published In tbe
issue of your paper of last week, oc
curs some comments upon the failure
of Judge Bower to get a judge to hold
the adjourned term of Baker court
that are misleading and to
make a false impression upon the peo
ple of Baker county.
Judge Bower presided a whole week
in Btooks county foe Judge Hansell
to try his disqualified cases in Baker
at the regular term. Judge Hansell
failed to try the case and adjourned
the court over until tbe first Monday
In June and promised to hold tbe
couit then. This was the understand
ing until two days before Baker court
when Judge Bower* was informed of
Judge Hansell’s sickness. Judge
Bower then telegraphed Judge Clark
to come, but tailed to get him. I am
prepared to state that the fees paid to
processions led by oddly uniformed
men, and women too, with drums, fifes
aud tambourines, the performers on
which cut eccentric ~
as they go like the
of Arabia. They attract ribbald idlers
to their grotesque, so-called, religious
exhibitions who appreciate them just
as they would a tree negro miuistrel
show. In tbe name ot religiou they
make themselves street nuisances, de
manding police interference.
There are glib tongued persons with
a smattering of tiie reasonings of Tom
Paiue and Voltaire, aud afflicted with
a vulgar egotism, who improve every
captured opportunity for offending
good taste aud orthodox sentiment, by
scoffing at tbe Bible and deriding the
Christian faith.
In the fashion centre of New York
are mothers who are leaders in the
craze for pug dogs. They fondle the
pngs, take tiie pugs out driving, hold
ing shades over toe pugs iu the sun
shine, aud providing tne pugs wraps
—even nestling the pugs under their
seal-skin cloaks—4n cold weather.
They spend idle hours in training the
pugs, exhibit the pugs to callers, enter
the pugs at bench shows and groom
tiie pugs in person while ou exhibi
tion. But the children of these pug
devotes? Oh, they are kept in the
nurseries, or allowed to walk out w ith
their nurses. But it must not be In
ferred these mothers do not bestow*
some attention to their offspring. No
doubt but that sometimes when the
darling pugs are asleep, the mothers
remember the children.

which to take offense, and the pachy-

Who Began It?
Americas Recorder.
General Gordon became a candidate
in response to demands from his
friends in all parts of tbe State, and he
entered into the campaign with not the
slightest idea that he would be called
on to defend his Character, with not
the slightest idea that he would be
called on to reply to charges that the
people of’ Georgia bad already pro
nounced false 3 futile.—Atlanta Con-
nutation.
Gen. Gordon made his opening
speech of the campaign in Americus,
tour days after he was annouuced as a
candidate, and the burden of his speech
was in answer to charges which he
•<aid bad been made against him. if
any one is responsible for a personal
campaign, It is Gen. Gordon, for be
opened the hall at Americas. His en
tire speech was taken up iu answering
charges which lie declared had been
made against his personal character.
His opponent, up to that time, had not
made auy speeches and had never
made any charges of any character
-igainst Gen. Gordon. He, however,
in his speech at Americus, made the
first personal charges against Maj.
Bacon. Gen. Gordon can hardly j»ose
as a martyr, for he made the first per
sonal attacks in the campaign. In
fact, lie sought from the first to make
a vindication campaign of It, and has
sought out every charge that he could
find in every obscure newspaper and
made it a pretext to pose as a martyr
and to go Into paroxysms of virtuous
indignation. And his CotutUntion
organ has ably seconded him ill his ef
forts. The “vindication” and
martyr” business lias been well and
.successfully worked in Georgia, and
Gen. Gordon has had illustrious prece
dents. to follow, and had ever' reason
to think that a “vindication” campaign
was his chance. He may be as success
ful in it as those who have preceded
him, but It does not come with very
good grace that his organ should charge
that tills course was forced upon him,
and the time ought to come, if It has
not, when a man’s public record can
he investigated and commented upon
without making a martyr of him.
