The themometer danced around at sixty and sixty five degrees from Florida to Wisconsin. Mr. W. J. Turner is the boss water melon raiser of this county. He weighed four of his medium size ones last, week and they tipped the beam at 160 lbs. The editor and family spent last Sun day with relatives in Milton county. The crops of corn and cotton in that county are as fine as they have been since the war. In another column we present a tab ulated statement of the result of last Saturday’s primary. Read it and see how your friends ran in the different districts. week The News will contain *fecii'li?k a nil pictures of the democratic no h)inecTMn Gwinnett county. We intended to print them this week, but could not get the photographs in time. Rev. T. I’. Cleveland, D. D„ pastor of the Fourth Psesbyterian church of At lanta, will preach at Fairview next Sunday. He is an «bie preacher, and will doubtless have 4 large congrega tion. Tuesday night we heard a hen cack ling about 12 o’clock, and we think she was crazy.

The men or women either, who when told to do a certain thing say: “It will be a cold day in August when I do that,” must have had an enormous amount of work to do on Sunday.

Miss Ola Teasly, wlio has been visit ing relatives in our town for the past few days, returned to her home in Al pharetta last Saturday. Miss Ola is a very pleasant young lady, and has many friends in Lawrenceville who will be sorry to hear of her departure, and we can assure her that she will al ways recreve a warm welcome to our town. Thanks to Jesse Pate. On last Tuesday morning Thu News received a nice basket of fine grapes from Mr. Jesse Pate, of Carl, this coun ty. To say that they were appreciated is expressing it but mildly. The grapes themselves were as nice as nice could be, and then the fact that so good a fellow as Jesse Pate sent them added to their flavor. They were large and luscious, sweet and tender. Jesse is raising grapes for the mar ket, and if all he has are as nice as those he sent to this office, he ought to be able to get his own price for them. All other kinds of fruit were cut oft' by the late, cold spring, and it seems tons that grapes of the Jesse Pate variety ought to bring a good price in any market. Again, we thank Jesse for the treat, and if at any time he wants anything out of this office all he has to do is to let it be known. Charley Brand at Buford Aug .‘l. It was a large and appeciative audi ence that met Col. ilrand. Esq. Cloud was called to the chair and introduced Col. Brand in a few well chosen words. Col. Brand lost no time in coming to buisness, and his whole speech was a safe, clear and equitable solution of the political questions now confronting the people. Founded on truth, his points, handled by a master hand, were well taken. He was frequently inter rupted by tremendous applause from the democratic side, and even a few fair-minded popolists cheered him oc casionally. They asked questions, and Charley answered them readily, show ing them that they were in the wrong. Editor Irving followed fn a speech of an hour and a half, lie talked about the populist chestnuts, and then said that he was sorry he did not have time to tackle the railrord plank. Col. Brand closed in a b autiful speech of thirty minutes. After he was done speaking he was surrounded by a large number of good men who congratulated him on his able speech, and assured him of the good effect it would have. It was the opinion of many people that it was the finest speech ever heard from a political ros trum in Gwinnett county. Jubilant Democracy. It was a representative crowd of j democrats that assembled at the court house in Lawrenceville last Tues | day. It was representative, not only in numbers and intelligence, but in j old-time democratic enthusiasm as well. The uncommonly large vote polled in Saturday’s primary has open ed the eyes of the people to the fact ! that third partyism is practically dead I in Gwinnett county, and on Tuesday nearly everybody came to town to see and hear all that would be done and j said for the party. It would not be stretching the blan | ket to say v hundred people | were in, Iff JvAoiirt house was crowded t * M capacity, and many rem i » of seats or stair-JR MOST Ttw It was,Ll rtTIES. Uc. L tea of the . .is tile Democrat ic barn Pj|] V stra ‘ n or two of demo cratic mnsil. • This brought cheers, followed by a soul-stirring quick-step from the band. • After the music had died away, Chair man county democratic executive <“ hittee, arose and stated that tlnj Tj'finVhing in order was the election ■f U Lpiairman. On motion T. M. Peeples was made chairman of the meeting, and Geo. D, Rucker secretary. By request, C. H. Brand read the re sult of fast Saturday’s primary. When he announced that 1847 votes had been | polled, the audience cheered loudly. The liext thing in order was the elec tion of a county executive committee for the ensuing two years. On motion of Col. C. H. Brand, it was decided that the chairman appoint a committee', composed of two men from each district, to decide upon the proper men to secure a committeemen. Carried. .1. T. Baxter moved to give the com mittee power to appoint three execu tive committeemen in each district. Carried. Col. Peeples, in a felicitous speech, introduced Col. Clay to the audience., CoL Clay spoke first in reference to charges made against himself. He re ferred to several charges made against him, and he refuted them amidst a per fect storm of applause. Then he branched out into his speech and showed up third partyism in all of its hideous forms. Col. Clay took up the record of the third party in congress and showed that four populists had introduced four bills which, if put into law, would bankrupt, not. only the United States, but the entire world. At this state ment the crowd cheered wildly, and Col. Tom Winn, who was sitting in a remote corner of the room, arose and asked to be allowed to ask a question. Of course Clay granted the privilege and then Col. Tom asked : “Col Clay, do you hold flip people’s party responsible for’what those four fellows have done ?” “Of course I do. (Applause.) There are only nine of your party in congress and these four have introduced bills which, if enacted into law, would bank rupt the world. My God, man, what would your party do if they could con trol congress ?” (Loud and prolonged applause.) Clay then proceeded to show the silliness of the third party platform. He said that it called forthe purchase of the telegraph lines and telephones of the United States, and asked the farmers of the south to vote for such legislation, in the teeth of the fact that not one farmer in ten ever used either the telegraph or telephone. Next he turned his attention to the money question. “The government,” said he, “cannot support the people, and the sooner the people find out that they must support the government the better it will be. There is an idea run ning in southern soil that the govern ment has the power to stamp rocks and chips and paper and make money out of them. We ought to pull that idea up by the roots and sun-dry it, that it may not be allowed to take root in southern soil.” “Col. Clay,” broke in Col. Winn again, “do you mean to say that the government has not the power to make money out of paper?” “I mean to say that the government has the right to make anything money if they will make good money, but it« has no moral right to defraud the peo ple by issuing worthless money. (Ap plause.) Paper money, without coin to redeem it, is worthless.” He then recited the story of the con federate soldier who, having a sack full of confederate money, and being pressed by the yanks, shook the money out of the sack, that he might be able to save the sack. This comparison brought forth tremendous applause which lasted nearly a minute. Col. Winn did not ask any more questions, and Col. Clay was allowed to proceed without further interference. His peroration was a beautiful flight of oratory. “I was in Chicago and saw five thousand people on a strike. I thought of the hills and valleys of Geor gia and thanked God that their haunts were mv home. I saw starvation in that city and turning my eyes to Geor gia I saw a happy, contented people, dwelling tn peace, without any strikes or the semblance of anarchy, and I said thank God for Georgia and her law aud order loving people.” When Col. Clay sat down the cheer- J ing lasted fully a minute, and then everybody wentupand shook the speak er’s hand and assured him of the fact I that he had made a mash on the crowd. The band struck up “Dixie” and the meeting was adjourned one hour for dinner, Afternoon Sewion. At two o’clock, p. m., Chairman Pee ples rapped the gavel and called the convention to order. The committee appointed to decide upon suitable per sons to act as executive committee for the next two years announced ready to report. The manuscript containing names of committeemen was misplaced but will be published laterer. The next thing in order was the report of the district clubs. The sec retary called the roll of districts, and the following reports were handed in : Lawrenceville —T. M. Peeples, presi dent; R. B. Whitworth, Ist vice presi dent; E. H. Holland, 2nd ■ *ce-presW dent; D. T. Cain, secretary. Abjft two hundred names enrolled, vvph prospects of many more. Noreross —J. E. McElroy, praaid^it; A.vA. Martin, vi«e-president F.

Pate announced that the district had not yet been or ganized but there were more than one hundred loyal democrats in the dis trict, and they would come up in Oc tober with more than a two-thirds majority. This statement brought cheers. Rockbridge—L. A. Julian,president ; E. P. Minor, vice-president; W. H. Summers, secretary. Those represen ting Rock Bridge thought, it would go democratic in October. Berkshire —John R. Cain, president; W. L. Minor, vice-president; T. L. Garner, secretary. One hundred and fifteen names enrolled, and “the pun cheon would be knocked out.” Martin’s, W. J. Long, president: J. T. Wright, vice-president; T. G. Chap man, secretary. The club has enrolled about one hundred names, and the dis trict will go largely democratic. After the foregoing reports had been received Col. C. H. Brand moved that the democrats of Gwinnett county have a grand barbecue at Lawrence ville sometime between now and the first Wednesday in October. The chairman appointed a committee to de cide upon the time for holding the barbecue. The committee decided to .have it on Wednesday, the 19 day of September, at Lawrenceville. All the democratic of the county are expected to help get up funds to pay for the bar becue. The following resolutions, introduced by Geo. D. Rucker, was unanimously adopted: “Resolved, by the the democracy of Gwinnett county, in mass-meeting as sembled, That we do hereby tender our thanks to the Hon. A. 8. Clay, of Cobb county, for the very aide, manly anil convincing democrat!* speech which he has this day delivered to our people; and we beg to assure him that we hold him in very highest esteem.” The following resolution, introduced by Hon. L. F. McDonald, was unani mously passed : “Resolved, by the democracy of Gwinnett county, in mass-meeting as sembled, That we do heartily endorse the platform adopted by the conven tion, and we pledge our support to the nominees of that convention.” Adjourned. A Query. A gedtleman from Atlanta who is visiting a citizen of Martin’s district, spent Saturday at Sncllville. He has heard that a large number of populists resided round about there and was sur prised to find only one pronounced populist and one independent who will vote for the men he considers best on both tickets at the general election in November. A large crowd was aroupd the,polls all day, but they were dyed-in-the-wool democrats who will help to roll up a majority so large in November that the populists will heard from thereafter. The question now is, “where are the populists of Cates district at ?” Baptized and Married. Ce.vthkvili.k, Ga., Aug. 6,1894. —Ed- itokNews: The oldest church goers had not witnessed such a spectacle as was presented at Zoar M. E. church on Sunday, August sth. It was simply wonderful. Twelve of our fair and beautiful maidens and twelve of our young men walked to the altar and there had the solemn ceremony read to them from the discipline of the church and all in concert answered amen to the laws of the church, and upon their knees were baptized. I assure you, Mr. Editor, it was a grand sight to behold. And, to cap the climax, just after the baptizing was over, oneof the beautiful young ladies, Miss Dora Grizzard, was escorted to the altar, and there iti the holy bonds of matrimony was united in marriage to Mr. Cleve Hammond, of Atlanta. Old members of the church say this was the grandest sight ever witnessed here. Rev. T. P. Graham, the pastor in charge at Zoar, is completely carried aw r ay. He says it was the grandest act of his life. The young ladies—God bless them—l must say, looked very sweet, and the young men seemed in earnest. Young men, these are solemn obliga tions you have taken. Keep them ever fresh in your minds, and by so doing you will never be led astray. Do noth ing that would disgrace your church, attend its services regularly, ever be ready to lend a helping hand to any thing that pertains to the welfare of your church or religion. Words cannot express the feeling that existed in the church when the right hand of fellowship was extended and all Christians were-invited to join in. It was a glorious meeting, and every thing passed off nicely, but myself, poor Joe, Griff and Jim, as usual, were left out in the cold; but we hope there is a better day coming for us. There are several hard cases in this communi ty, but 1 don’t think we are too hard to be saved. The church, as well as the parents of these young disciples, have a great du ty to perform—that is, to see that they strictly adhere to the laws and princi ples of the church. They must remem ber that some of them are quite young and are liable to be misled. Mr. Edi tor, twistiflcation, harp-blowing and i the fiddle certainly received a black j eye here last Sunday. Now t word concerning Rev T, IL Graham, the pastor, and Mr. Brady, the superintendent of the Sunday school, and the good members of the church. They have our heart-felt thanks for this great and good work. These thanks are not presented by one individual, but by the community at large. May the good work go on until the whole of old Rockbridge shall be converted. Let everybody turn out and lend a helping hand and have a glori ous revival. Guess. Yellow Kiver Hippies. E. W.

Several of our citizens attended the big democratic rally at Lawrenceville last Tuesday. They say they got value received for their trip. Wasn’t that a large vote polled in this county last Saturday? We dont think the populists will hardly put out a ticket in this county this fall. One of Mr. Sawyer’s little boys had the4>ad luck to stick a nail in his foot one day last week.

Teets, Gumming. The following are the most impor tant reports and resolutions from the different committees: Committe on Sunday school, Educa tion and Publishing interest.—What ever difference of opinion exist on economic, social anil moral question and there is much difference, causing great confusion at times and in many places imperilling the supremacy of law and the existence of social order yet the sentiment in favor of universal education seems to be a unit every where. Our church true to its traditions and the example of its illustrious founder is in the van of the movement for Christian culture. Most heartily com mending all the educational itstitu tions of our church, let it be remem bered that these institutions must continue to be supported and main tained by the voluntary action of the people—mainly by the Methodist. Duty, interest, gratitude and loyalty all conspire to demand our most ear nest and zealous support. The public school system is com mended for its increasing efficiency. The General Conference action in establishing a General Hoard of Edu cation for the unification of our de nominational endeavor in interesting the people is commended. “Surely with the primary instructions of Chris tian mothers in the nursery, Sunday school teaching in the church, the public schools established by law *** our institutions and seminaries, col leges male * female, of the best grade the education of the people generally ought not be afar off.” We most heartily commend so every Methodist family and others in the district, the Wesleyan Christian Advo cate, and we note with pleasure the continued popular favor it is winning. We favor the use of our own hymn book, Sunday school literature, and all of our own publications preferably. We are glad to be able to report an advance in Sunday school work in in creased numbers of schools, larger number~of children gathered in our schools, an effort for better preparation of the lessons and an increase in the number of schools usingourown litera ture. Of nineteen schools in the dis trict, only three schools are not using our literature. Children’s Day was not generally observed, and missionary societies of the schools are urged, as provided in f 214 of the discipline. “This District Conference approves the establishment of the Kpworth Era and the election of Hev. 8. A. Steelo, D. I sought office nor declined a duty.” Committee on Quarterly Conference | Records.—l'pon the whole we are j pleased to say that most all of the rec [ ords have been pretty well kept and I show some degree of painstaking, worthy of the importance of this work There is a marked improvement in most all the records over former years. Attention is cAlled to the importance of complete official rolls and full min utes in every particular. Committee on Missions.—There are at present, to missions in the Gaines ville District —Bellton and Gwinnett. Your committee is gratified at the progress being made in this territory. The line of work being pursued de serves mention, especially that on the Bellton mission served not only by a consecrated pastor, hut a number of Godly men and women. They are thoroughly working the whole territo ry. We believe if the right line of work is pursued for a few years longer we will have selfsustaining churches; furthermore that this may he done much more quickly, by organizing the Sunday school into Missionary socie ties. thereby educating our young peo ple in reference to their duty in sup porting the gospel. We recommend the continuance of Bellton and Gwinnett and the addition of Sn-llville and Hall circuits as miss- Committce on General Stale of the Church.—The general state of the) church, in many respects, when con trasted with the past, is good; almost every charge reporting progress along some lines. The revival spirit seems to be burning in many hearts, and un der (lie influence of the Holy Ghost there lias been a considerable gain in spirituality. Great results may be expected in (lie district before the An- j nual Conference convenes. IVacc and i harmony prevail in all parts, and the pastors stand shoulder to shoulder in the work of savingsouls. The laymen in j the district are coming up to the help of the pulpit in this nobh work as never before in the history of the church; and with a Holy Ghost ministry rein forced by consecrated men and women, under the divine guidance of the great head of the church, we expect, to take this district for our captain. Four hundred and twenty-eight have been , received thus far this year. Forty three infants have been dedicated to God in holy baptism. There arc seventy-four clinches in the district, most of them reported to j be in good condition. Resolved 1, Tlml we encourage our people to dedicate their children, while i infants, to the Lord in holy baptism. Resolved 2, That we will emphasize the necessity of family religion—an al lar in every household. Resolved 3, That we believe it to be the duty of the preacher in charge to open the doors of the church at least once on each Lord’s Day. Resolution of thanks to the pastor and good people of Norcross for the royal and hospitable entertainment given the district conference; the rail roads for courtesies; the presiding el der, Rev. M.J. Cofcr, and Rev. G. W. Morgan, secretary,for the genial, faith- I ful, patient., and able manner in which j they discharged, their duties, were all passed with rising votes. The following report from the tem perance eammittee was adopted with a rising vote and much enthusiasm ; Whereas we regard the liquor I rattle as the great evil of our land—subtile in influence, malignant in spirit, op posed to God, opposed to the progress of the church, and the good of man kind in general—and Whereas we believe it to be the duty of all true citizens to unite in one com mon effort to rid our laud of this great est evils, be it therefore , Resolved 1 That the preachers with in the bounds of the Gainesville dis trict in charge of circuits and stations, together with their local bretheren, pledge themselves to bring the cause of temperance and prohibition before the people at all their appointments, by agitating Hie question, by holding special temperance meetings and preaching special temperance sermons. Resolved 2, That we pledge ourselves to take immediate steps to organize the public sentiment of the country and town in favor of prohibition into such forms as will make it most effect ive in securing the common purpose contemplated by the Slate I’rohibition Association. Resolved 3, That we recognize the position of our church as defined by the general conference to be one of un compromising hostility to the manu facture, sale, and use of intoxicating liquor as a beverage. Resolved 4, That we endorse the' course as the late State Prohibition As sociation in seeking to secure prohibi tion by legislative enactment; failing in this, we favor the submission of a prohibition constitutional amendment to the qualified voters of the state, at an election separate from other elect ions, and entirely disconnected from partisan polities; failing in this, we stand upon local option and the divine law, whose penalties are sure and eter-1 nal. Resolved 6, That we endorse and ap prove the wise, prudent, and aggressive course of the Wesleyan Christian Ad vocate in dealing with this question. By request of I he conference the sec retary Ims prepared the above for pub lication in each weekly paper in the district that will publish the same as news and for the bent;tit of over 8,000 Methodists in the district, and that our brethern and sisters in the Lord's work may know of the tight being made for Christ. The preaching was in power and man were at the alter for the witness of the spirit and perfect love—the dis tinctive doctrines of Methodism. The good people of Norcross will not soon he forgotten.
