Friday of laGwemk a. lai-ge crowd
went up from Oeilla to Bowen-’s
mill and spent the day there, bath¬
ing, boat-riding, swinging and
promenading over the beautiful pie-
2 *ic grounds. At noon .a bountiful
(tinner was spread on the tables,
and it received the closest atten¬
tion of every one present for about
thirty minutes. About twilight
supper was served, and while await¬
ing the train “our class” sang some
beautiful songs. It was a day of
rjire pleasure.
Last Sunday Mrs. Nettie Bowen
a®d three small children arrived in
Oeilla in distress, having, so sbe
said, tramped from Telfair county,
and was on her way to her parents,
•who, according to her statement,
live about nine miles from Waycross.
She was helped on her way, and
reached Waycross Monday night.
She says her husband, Wiley Leo
Bowen, left her in Telfair county
August 12th, without pause, and
warns her sex against him, as she
thinks he will try to marry again.
She also states that her husband is a
Missionary Baptist preacher,
About two miles south of Bow¬
en’s mill, on the left hand side as
you go np, in an old field long since
thrown out, stands a large cedar
tree. That tree has a pathetic
history. For twenty years of his
early life Capt. Bowen’s home was
there, and this tree was planted by
his eldest child, a beautiful daugh¬
ter, who died at the age of nine
years. The houses, fences and all
that once went to make up this
happy homo, except the cedar tree,
have been obliterated by the hand
o-f Time. Speaking of it to the
writer, Gapt. Bowen said, with a
hnskiness in his voice that was sug¬
gestive of tears: “Yes, our first
born child planted that tree, and I
would not have it cut down for
$10,000.” The tree is now twenty-
f«xir years old.
Mr. Warren J. Paulk, one of the
best men in wiregrass Georgia, and

There were about 1,000 people
present from several counties, and
the services were deeply hiipressiye,
Irwin county was largely repre¬
sented. The meeting closed about
2 o’clock. A drive of three miles
took us to the hospitable homo of
Mr. James Tucker, in Berrien, and

A Thousand Tongues
Could not express the rapture of
Aunie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard
St., Philadelphia, Pa., when she
found that Dr. King's New Discov¬
ery for Consumption had completely
cured her of a hacking cough that
for many years had made life a
burden. All other remedies and
doctors could give her no help, but
she says of this Royal Cure—“it
soon removed the pain in my chest
and I can now sleep soundly, some¬
thing I can scarcely remember do¬
ing before. 1 feel like sounding its
praises throughout the Universe.’
So well everyone who tries Dr
King’s New Discovery for any
trouble of the Throat, Chest or

SCAT’S CORNER.
Rain is very much needed on cane, pens
and potatoes in this section.
Cotton picking is the order of the day
now, and nearly two-thirds of the school
is absent this week.
Judge Daniel Tucker started to Hickory
Spring Friday and returned Monday. He
reported a good time generally,
Everybody went down to Mt. Paran
from tiiis section Sunday that could gel
any way to ride, and they say they did
have a big time.
Quite a number of young people from
Vic, joined by a jolly crowd from and
around Oeilla, pieniced at. Bowen’s mil!
Friday. The day was thoroughly enjoyed
by all.
Next Thursday week the school at this
place will dose. Take your crowd and
come down, Mr. Editor, and , let the pupils
spell you down again.
Ye writer attended Prof. W. J. Royal’s
sing (losing at Irwinville Saturday, and
the way the pupils went through (he rigid
examination showed that the Professor
spared neither time nor brain while there.
We had the pleasure of meeting that pop¬
ular and charming little correspondent
from—well, I’ll not tell where.

WOMEN PREACHERS.
{Continued,]
EniTort Drscvrcir:—It is not my pur¬
pose to say much about Scriptural teaching
on Ibis line, bepinme those not convinced
by the plain reading of the Skrripime*
‘would not he persuaded though One rode
from the dead.’'--Moreover, the Scriptures
play but a small part in lixinK the religious
opinions of people. Perhaps nV> lncmbfu;
of a religious creed can tell how. why or
when he began to believe os lie now doiv
He reads and searches the Scriptures, not
to test, or to shape bis bullet', |>st tu prow
ll to be correct, “eople somoiluies read to
ascertain.their duties, but never to test
tlusir ci'WHb Tliejvire always satlslied that
their creed is correct, no matter wlmt it is,
nor have they any desire to change it. And
all the Scriptures that seem to vindicate
their opinions are grouped and closely
nursed. And when,tla-y possibly present
them to other ereeds and fail to convince
them, they are surprised, when, in fact,
these Scriptures played no part convincing
them.
But 1 propose to speak of “women
preachers” from a logical standpoint. It
would be unseeming for a woman raising
a family to assume, tile duties and respon¬
sibilities of tiie gospel ministry. Her little
j brood could neither be left behind nor
| carried Nor does this auy more than .bint
ai the troubles atteuding such a minMvy
The very nature of things would coniine
the gift to unmarried women, a rid. they
must remain unmarried, and this would
conflict with the first law of nature. And
in tier travels, if she chanced to be smitten
with a “feilet” and he. with her, there
would come the conflict between her call to
the ministry and her call to matrimony;
and the last call would be apt to prevail.
Her feminine voice is proof tiiat, she was
not designed by her Creator for a public
declaimor. The finer texture of her muscu¬
lar system, as also the feebleness of her
constitution, proves that she was not
built for the duties and exposure* of the
gospel ministry. True, her soft, soothing
voice might allure many into membership,
but such would be her members and not
church members. For a feeble woman to
arise from her bed at any hour of the night
to meet the railroad schedule to roach her
appointments the next day, is at conflict
with the very .order of her nature. The
woman preacher to whom 1 referred last
week, in Ohaneey, arose at midnight and
put for the depot to meet the train n : due
until nearly three o’clock. None but the
landlord could be accepted to assist her
with her baggage. He, of course, went,
under some protests, in presence of his
wife. 1 don’t know just what sort of a
sermon she preached tor the landlord that
night, while they waited at the depot, but
i do know what sort ot a sermon his wife
preached for her the next day.
But there is a place for women to preach
—not in the pulpit, nor on the public
rostrum, but in their daily deportment and,
manner of life. It is this that sinks deep
into the hearts of the observers.
Words are often but empty sounds—
walking is a fact. Yes, it is our walk that
convinces our neighbors and writes our
epitaph. A good woman filling tier station
in her neighborhood and in the family, is
doing more profitable and lasting good
than many preachers are doing in the
pulpit.
