Mb. Editob:—
As “Observer” has again put
himself upon record, as champion
of the opposition to Houston’s
Public School Law, with a lengthy,
and what he doubtless considers,
and 'believes to be, an unanswera
ble resume of
obeTv<ar Lord .and King. '
Think not that weian 'gain God’s favor,
if we|labor not for Eim;
Seek f ho poor, as did onr Savior,
T lough in tuo haunt.s of vice and sin;
Tiuiwe.inay true glory win.
W-ion oar homes are bless’d with gladness
A id .we’ve plenty in onr store,
list’s cheer the hearts jppressd with sad
ness,
Let’s’help &a_worthy,.humble poor,
And God will qaickly give ns more.
Into the abodes of grief and sorrow
Let’scarry sunshine while we may;
Put off not until to-morrow
What wa may perform to-day,
Lest our hearts bo led.astray.
Lazarus was poor and needy,
Although he was a perfect saint;
The rich man was both full and greedy,
And heeded not the beggar faint,
Though hunger was his chief complaint.
Ah! could that rich man buy salvation,
With Ms luxuries so sweet?
He could not think of birth nor station.
But by the beggar take his seat,
And oven stoop to wash his feet.
The smallest deed done in His name
Is greater-far than wordly fame;
Let’s show some weary soul the way,
What greater homage coufd we pay
To this; our Savior’s natal day?

pired term of Mr. W. Branson, de-
ceasec, held Wednesday, was in
some respects without precedent
in the county.
There were only two candidates
in the field, Mr. A. D Skellie, of
Fort Valley, and Mr. C. E. Gilbert,
of Perry—both good and .capable
men.

must again ask permission to in
vade your columns with a reply. I
promise to be brief, as there is bat
one point in his remarkable criti
cisms that deserves special notice.
In his extreme prejudice to the
law he has worked himself up to
the point where he thinks he sees
-great danger of there being two le
gally constituted quorums formed
out of the fourteen men to be
chosen by the grand jury as the
County Board of Education, and
that these might become antago
nized and set np two separate and
distinct seta of public school ma
chinery for the county. In which
event he says: There would be a le
gally constituted deadlock, with no
provisions made to effect an ami
cable adjustment of the difficulty.

While the ^colored vote figured
largely in the contest, there was no

the negroes voted as did the major
