I ■ ■ f’ CHAP. V. Editor • Herald— During the first quarter of the present centu ry, there came to this county, in its first settlement, a respected citizen and settled on the frontier 7 miles west of Lawreucevilie. His family were mostly sons, and Ptnong them was the now dis tinguised. Dr. Jesse Boring, of the North Georgia Conference, who was born near the first part of the Century. Frontier life then, had many privations of socie y and school facilities, 'and afforded but poor opportunities, for even a common education. Reading, writing, and ihe simple rules of Arithmetic, were alone to be /aught here,then, and tbwe imperfectly. These poor advantages, were ad that were received by the a r Upon attaining to his majoivß Jesse decided to enter theming try, and preach the Gospel to the udo and uncultivated population and under these disadvantages. The spareness of the population and the poverty of the people, made it necessary for the church to send out missionaries into this * then, almost unbroken wilds, to teach them the way of Nalvation. Without furl her deiails at this poin/, Jesse Boring was sen/ his fiist year, as Junior Preacher, with Win. J. Parks, as senior, to a circuit or mission, extending from iho Appalachee river, to Grove river, in Madison county, embrac rng a Targe territory, requiring four weeks to make the round. The young preacher had many iliscouuagments the first year Unable to read his Hymns cor rectly, or a ebapt er iu the Uible except with difficulty, ai.d, added to tin i a halting, stamering speech, it was considered by him se/f and his friends a very poor sturt with p_onr prospects of suo ess. To heighten his discouragement, and old indescreet brother in the church, advised him to “quit and go home sot he would never make a preacher,” and ho so decided and ho laid the cane before his Benior< Mr. Parks enoouraged him to hold on, and wiih that keen insight in to human cnarac/er and capabili ties, (characteristic of him so strickingly in his after life.) latent as they appeared in this case, as sured him that he could succeed, and his advice was taken. The next year an other field was assigned to him, and then an other, aud soon the latent, hidden faculties became aroused and vit alized and in a few years almost at a bound, he scaled the moun tain top and became one of the ablest and most eloquent preach* ers of the Conference 1 The most important stations in the Confer ence were assigned him. Savan nah, Augusta, Columbus, Macon and other city stations, and the elite and euliivata 1 classes were under his pastorate and always to their gratification. From ‘.he awkward, uneduca/ed boy from the banks of the Sweet Water, h became ihe most emi nent pulpit orator of *he Confer ence, and from the ignorant, uned ocated young man from the back woods of Gwinnett he became th e scholarly and polished preacher of whom “Listening Senates” would be pleased. A distingaised Presbyt eriau Minister, years ago, in speaking of the Itenerant System of ihe Meth odists, rema:ked: ‘These 4 years in the Itereraney was the best Theological School for Pnlpit training known to the world!” ar.d so it was. After the lapse of a few years he returned on a visit to bis old county and relatives and attended the camp meeting at the old Camp ground of which we write. His fame as a great preacher bad proceeded him, and tne two sermons he preached on that oc casion assured b>s old friends that this fame was well founded and well deserved. Hi" text for one of these was : Our Own Section —We Labor For Its Advancement. LAWRENCEVILijE, GA. September 29 1885 be dislrcyed aud tnat without remedy.” I remember many points given by tbe preacher in that sermon, but to give even a brief synopsis lof them would make this chapter of undue length. jThe long, sol emn, cadiverous face of the preach er in his portraituie of an ungodly, dying mah, who had hardened his heart and stiffened his neck down to his dying hour, and then, “No Remedy for the lost Soul,’ was a picture upon which even Angels might look and weep! And when that souk is engulphed in the Hades of the damned forever, and the anguish of that lost Soul doomed forever to this place of torment, and the wails of that Soul as it cried out: “Oh, God is there no remedy 1” stired his hearers to the very depths. j I rememdtr years ago to have heard of a Sermon he preached to the Sailors, perhaps in Savannah, and lam tempted, to give my recollection of it, imperfect as 1 known it will be, to show tbe ver saliiyof bis mind, and his wonder ful powers nf imagination. There are few perhaps now living that heard of it, and fewer still that heard it. His subject was from thePsalins: “They th it go do to the sea iu ships, tt at do busioess in great waters ; these see the works of the Lord, and his wonders iu the deep.” He knew many Nautical phrases familliar to sailors which hs used on the occasion. The Pictuae he drew was a siorm at sea. The step, far out open the“ileep blue sea” encountered a s'orm—a fearful hurrican. The waves ran high; the gallant vessel riding them like a thing of life, higher they came and rolled mountain nigh. The vessel reak ed and rocked between the billows which threatened to engulf the gallant ship every moment be neath the angry billows. “Reef the sails !” cries the mate “Cut away the halyards, look to the jibbeon 1” commands the master and all is ia dismay aud consterna tion with the ship’s crevy at the, impending distinction. “Tie must’s are blown away !’’ cries the Pilot, “the engines are submerged and fail to work!” reports the fire man, “She is wrecked and must soongodowu!” says the mate, “Look to the life boats !” shouted tbe commander. At this point which was so nat ural and so fearfully graphic the sailors involuntarily sprang to their feet and a wild scene ensued never before witnessed except upon the sea in a veritable storm of which this was a picture true to a reality. The appli ation will be readily drawn by the loader. The venerable Doctor, now an Octogenarian, is still in active work And though his Sun is nearing its Western horizon, oc casionally sends forth its beams with as much brilancy as when at the “high merendian” of its splen dor and noon day glory. »»*«*• In the summer ot 1840 or 41 there came to /he Camp Ground an other great preacher, who was a Bishop. Our people had never seen a Bishop and were on the q ai vive when they became inform’ ed that Bishop Andrew, of Oxford then, had consented to come. Two days had passed, he had not come and much anxiel y prevailed that something had happened to pre« vent his coming. On Friday evening a close car riage wa> seen slowly wending its way down the niil and nearing the encampment. 1/ was during the 3 o’clock service and all eyes were turned in ihe direction ot (he car riage as it slowly drove into the camps. A heavy built man dress ed in yellow linen with a linen r, und about, with a big head and braDzed face occupied the drivers high, out-side seat aud direcied the team. This was the Bishop eoacb man we thought but soon changed onr mind. Enquiring of this writer which was the preach ers tent, and being directed, drove to it. Being met and his horses fallen charge of. the s'ou* man j panion—a young lady who was his daughtei, assigned to t.h6 tent of VVm. Brandon ! Aud is it possible that the coach man in the rounusaboul is the Bishop himself ? And soon it proved to be Soi/n he doffed his jineu and donned bin clerical out fit und then looked like a Bishop. On Saturday and Sunday he preached to an intense congrega tion of wrap/ and spell bound hearers. On Sunday his text was : “And 1 saw /he dead email and great stand before God, and the Books were opened, etc., etc. The effect of his seiuion was electrical—upon the Metuodist, and every body There were no wild ebolucions ; no shouting of the old fa'hers and mas/ers, bvt a deep and heart felt power of the spiii/manifested by the streams from /he eye, tne shaking of stou/. strong mens frames, /he oft re peated loud and hearty Amens! with the repeated ejaculations of “Glory to God.” by old Daniel Glower so peculfar to him and who was so overpowered that he could not contain himself. These two sermons had more power and uoction than any I have heard in my day and time, and I have heard many of the great preachers of ail denominas lions beforehand since. James O. Andrew was a great man and a great preacher, °reat “Not like Cffisar, stained with Blood, But only great, as I onvgood.” So much has been said and written of Bishop Andrew that with this brief account of his coming here, with the little inci dents refered *o I will olose this chapter and will refer to the 3rd and 4th “Groat Preachers” in my next. W. STRIKING IT RICH Messrs. Plat Pros reported a burglasy at police head quaters yesterday morning and some theif is beter oft' about $2,200 for bis nights work. It is in confederate money, however, and when he look ed at, it by the light of day yester day or tried to spend some of it, lie was badly surprise 1 as the ligh ning was when it struck that mag iziee of 11,000 keg of powder in I’ilinois some time ago. It is supposed that at a time when everybody was away from the front of the store, one of these street thiever who are always on the lookout concealed himself among the feiniture in the store and was locked up inside when the proprietors left for the night As luck would have it Mr. Plat, in a hurry to catch the lost //ill car, had left, tbs safe open so llie entepprising burglar had a free ballot and a fair count, as it were and with ihe aid of a box of match bS made a pretty thorough search of all the desks, drawers, die, in the office. The floo was strewn with burnt matches, and Ihe won. der is that he bid not set the things afire. Fortunately, when his fingers closed upon the roll of Confederate bills he thought he had struck it rich, and willing to j et well enough alone he pocketed his sw”g and “skipped by the light of the moon,’’ the back door Un fortunately, however, he got be tween S4O and SSO in genuine greenbacks before be struck his big find aud skipped.—Augusta Chronicle. HE S I'OPED CAR The car going down French’s hill, and there were were a few jovial qassengers aboard. At Pospect street a lady got out. A yong maD, who, with a few of his friends, were having a bit of duit fun and had evipently enjoyed themselves, said: “I'll b&t cigars for the crowd that I’ll stop the car without ringing the bell, speak ing to the conductor or drivep or asking any one to stop it,’’ “Oh you’ll go out skit and slap on the orake. You’r to smart you are,” remarked one of his compan ions. smillit gly. “You’ll cut your self if you dont mind.” “No, piree, I’ll do nothing of the kind I’ll neither touch the brake nor ask nnv one rn torch The bet was taken. Up jumped the car-stopper and seizing one of the straps, tug ged at it as hard as be could, The conductor saw him aud con cluded that he was a greenhorn who wanted to get out to get out aud was yanking at the wrong tag He stoped the car and ihrew open the door. The man had sat down again. “Don’t you want to get out here?” said the conductor. “Oh, dear, no.” “Thou why did you pull that strap’” “I was only trying to see if it was s/rong enough to uold me if I Happened to come along in the car some nigh/ when 1 coulden’t g 6/ a seal. ” The door slammed, and the con ductor said something as lie leaned against the rear brake. It was something not very ccmplameta ry to such darned fooling. But the man wen his bet. lie had stopptd the car.—Fall River Advance. Ai MOST P^RAYZED “I would like to have an ads vertisement inserted.” This is a slogan that would resurrect a dead man behind a rewspaper count si, and the c|erk turned as if moved by an electric curret, and ejaculated: “Yes sir; want the top of the olumn, I suppose?’’ “No, I’m not particular," said said the advertiser “Went it on (he inside, noar the leading editorial?” “Either page will answer,” re plied the other. :‘\Vanf a cut of death’s head aud mrrow bones or a sore leg to make iu attractive, or the proirai/ of advertiser, wit long hair and a turned down shirt collar’” “Clear type, black ink bl 1 white paper are good euough for me,” was the response. “All right: want head line in type an inch longer than Jenkins’ ad. in next column, or will you have it put in upside down cryour name in crooked letters, like foks ed lightning all over it?” “No, a plaiu, straightforward advertisement in the space of fonr inches will answer my purpose. “Good enong. Want about ten inches notice free, don’t you? Fam ily liis/ory; how your grandfather blacked Washington’s boots once mention of yourself as emulating library; church, fire compsny, co*> opeaiive store baseball club, and other important positions?’’ The customer said lie did not care fo> auy nation. “Of corse,” said the clerk, “yon want a fiee coppy sent to each member so the fiittn; one for your self’ and the privilige of taking half a dozen copies oil the counter every week for the next ye»r or two, because yon advertised?’’ 7’he gem lonian expected to pay for his paper, aud asked the price of his adveriiseiueut. The delighted clerk figued up, and then asked: “If wo send the bill around in a bout a year you can tell ibepov when to cail again ernt you?” “No I’ll pay you now,” said the other taking out a roll of of bills, “The uews paper mans eyes biudged as he said: “Ah! you wan/ to ask for 75 per c»nt. discount and 22 per cent off for cash? - ' “I am willing to pay a fair price for value oecievcd.

WHAT A BABY CAN DO It can wear out a $1 pair kid shoes in twenty four hedrs, It can keep its fattieo busy ad vertiseing for nurse. It can occupy both shies of the largest sized bed manufactured simultaneously. It can make tne author of i/s being wash bills foot up to #5 a week and not be feeding at all well. 1/ can causuits father to be in sulted by ovry second class board ing house keeper in iho city who “never take children” which in nine cases out of ten is very fort unato for children. It can make itself look a fiend just at the moment when mamma wants to show “what a pretty baby she has.” It cun look Us hither inocertly in the free and five secouds later spoi/ the only good coat he has got in the world. It can make an old batchelor iu /he adjoining room use language that if he uttered on the streoet it would gei him iu the peuetenry for two years. It can go from the end r 's tne room to the foot of the stairs in the adjoining room quicker than its mother can just step into the room and out ngaiu. It can go io sleep “like a little angel and just as oiamraa and pupa are starting for the theatat it can wake up aud stay uwuke until the begiuing of ihe last act. These are seme of the things that a baby can do. But there are other tilings as well. A baby can make the commonest heme the brightest spot on earth. It cud lighten the burden of a loving mothers life by adding to; them it can flrtien its dirty little face ugainst ihe window pane in such a way that,the .tired faiher can •ee it as a picture before he rounds the corner.

They had not beeD married a year when one day In a tit of liasiy wrath he said to his wife, “I want no cofrec tion from you. If you are not sat isfied wi/h my oonduct you can rc turn to your own home, whence I took you and find happiness with your kind," “If I leave you," returned the unhappy wife, “will you give me oack that which I brought yon ?" “Every do lar. I covet not your wealth ; you shaii have it all back. “Ah,” she replied, “I mean not the wealth of gold. 11 untight not of dress. I ir Can my maiden heart my first and only love, my bouy ant hopes and the p ingof my womanhood. give /heie io me?” > A moment of /bought, of eunvul sion, and then taking her in his arms he said : “No, no, my dear wife, 1 cannot do that, but I will do morr,—l will keep them hbnee forth unsullied aud unpained. *JL will cherish your blessirgs as my own, and never again, God helping nn, will I forget the pledge I gave at tlie holy al/ar, when you gaye your peace and huppiliess to my keeping.” How true it is that a soft an swer turneth away wia'b, and how many of the bitter strifes of life* might be avoided, especially by the husband aud wife, by remember iug the precept of the wife man and giving to each a soft answer that turneth away wrath, briuging joy to/he heart and parce to the household.

THE BEST FEED FOR HOGS The pest feed for weaned yong pigs is potatoes boiled sud mashed in the water in which they are boiled, thickened with barley meat This is given in rensanubl qtiani - ties and not to over feed the pigs. A yong pig of 20 or 30 pounds needs no more of this food than a pound a day with a pint of scimed milk It is al/ogethes wrong to give the pigs so much food that ihey cannot hold any more. This repletion leads to indigestion and produces staggers and paralysis of the hind quarters; black teeth and supposed ailments follow from the disordered stomsch. It is ensy to increase thd food if necessatv, bnt not to remove the injnry done by giving too much. As tht pig grows fast the food needs to to be in* creased in pro pur/ion. .The 300 pouud 0 months old pigs are nevr overfed hut are fed jnrft ellough and no more. 3QP -bound pig 10 pounds of dry foon'ip am ple foroue days feeding.—New York tsmes. 1 • --- - MOLLIE RAM Moollie had a little ram as black as a rubber shoe, and everywhere Jthat Mollie went he emigrated too '.He went with her to chnrch one, 'lay the folks hiUarious grew to see hill walk definitely into Deacon Allens pew.
