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 arDispatch man, attended the clos¬ ing exercises of Prof. W. J. Roy¬ al’s siDging school at Irwinville last Saturday. Being Masonic Lodge meeting day also, we could only hear part of the singing exercises, but what wfl did hear was strong additional proof of all we have said of Prof. Royal dinner a# a teacher.

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 Lungs.

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.

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. M. SiKKS. ThatThrobbing Headache.
