O'KELLEY - Business Manager it. maddox Editor The Sun says Griffin i.s to have a new National Bank with a if 100, 000 capital. Griffin is a progres¬ sive town ami if slie needs another bank she will have it. It does us good to contemplate the pluck and enterprise of the grand little city. The Henry County "Weekly takes this cheerful vietv of the matter: “The Woolfolk jury made a mistrial. Col. Rutherford has managed the defense well, and he has so mystified the minds of the jurors that they are half inclined to believe that the Woolfork fam¬ ily are still alive. It would not be a matter of surprise if he succeeds in clearing the gentle butcher, and then sues the Yvitiiesses for slan¬ dering him. A pupil in a Hancock • county school was recently required to give the plural of the word “mouse." Fora moment she was nouplusssed. Then, with an air of triumph, she cried out “rats!” It may have been slang, or sim¬ ply a girl's testimony to the enor¬ mous size and ferocity of mice. Hall & Bcngloy’s show have been attached in Atlanta and the famous circus is now in the courts. Postmaster Pearson of New York contributed very largely to the republican campaign fund, through put in office by a dem¬ ocratic President, but the report comes from Washington that he is to be promptly bounced. The State lias paid out to date to confederate veterans for pen¬ sions $95,000, and one thousand applications are pending. When a man is placed in a po¬ sition to assist a weaker brother he should always do so. Never push him hack when he is trying to pull up. The Georgia • Chautauqua will open at Albany next Monday and through the Yveek. Al¬ bany has made ample prepara¬ to entertain her visitors, to offer them an attractive and in¬ structive programme, and to make stay agreeable in every way. The railroads give reduced rates the prospects point to a large It is said that the young ladies Hawkinsville liaY-e formed a society styled the “Hen As¬ in opposition to which young men are organizing a Association,” and will doubt cut the acquaintance of “Heim." This is the time of year to clean the city. All lots should be inspected and all tilth be removed at least once a If property owners will do it, the city authorities have it done and the neg¬ parties be made to pay the Our city lias a line rep¬ as • a health resort, and only Yvay to maintain this rep is to keep everything clean. Mr. Northern says every year farmers paid from live to six dollars for fertilizers in They produced crops value of $67,000,060: for every worth of products, therefore, spend one dollar for fertili¬ In other words, they pay the fertilizer company one of all they realize from farms. PUBLIC SPEARING. Everyone invited and let them come to hear the Hou.

Lie on the left side, says a health journal. If it had been a law journal it would have said “Lie on both sides.” A Schley county farmer has a eat that has developed the same interest in clothes pius that an ordinary cat takes in mousecath ing, and she parades with her captures with just as much pride. She has ever devoted herself to collecting lost clothes pins, and not a few that were not lost, Strange to say, she never touches the pins belonging to her OYvner, but is death on clothes pins which belongs to the neighbors. In tire past three months she has brought home over twenty-eight dozen clothes pins, and inquiry shows that the cat keeps her eye on the place where the pins basketful are kept. ()ne neighbor kept a of pins on a tin roof and the cat had to pass over tYvo or three roofs to get them, but she succeeded in taking three dozen from the bas¬ ket before she Yvas discovered. --• * * Neuralgic l’ersotis An<l thoso troubled with nervousness resulting taking from care or overwork wig be relieved by llrown's Iron Hitters.

Whereas it has seemed good to the Almighty Disposer of events to remove from our midst our worthy and esteemed brother John Plunkett; and whereas the intimate relation held for the de¬ ceased brother Yvith the members of Oak Grove Alliance render it proper that yvc should place upon record our appreciation of liis seryices as an Allianceman, and his merits as a man; therefore, he it resolved that Yve deplore the loss of brother -John'Plunkett, with deep feelings of regret, soft¬ ened only by the confident hope, that his spirit is Yvith those who having “fought the good fight” here, are enjoying perfect happi¬ ness in a better world. Resolved that his bereaved wife and children have lost a devoted husband and a kind and affection¬ ate father. Itosolved that yvc tender to his family our sincere condolence, and earnest sympathy, and would com¬ mend them to Him Yvlmhas prom¬ ised never to leave nor forsake them. Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be furnished the fami¬ ly of our deceased brother, and that they bo spread upon tlie minutes of Oak Grove Alliance, and a copy sent to the Solid South and Banner for publication. H. L. White J. J. Mooney J. W. McClung, Committee. Fred Douglass was a conspicu¬ ous figure at the white house the other day. The President wasn’t allowing callers to shake his hand that day, but he extended it to Dougless in a manual’ quite friendly. Some one remarked, “That is Fred Douglass,” and he turned and said: “Gentlemen call me Frederick Douglass; rowdies me what they please.” That had evidently turned his head. •Y>--- BEST LE 7EL On The Market FOR TERRACING.

It is a curious fact that grass not grow under certain trees, notably the beech, fir, chestnut, and aspen. This latter tree, so the story goes, furnished the wood for our Savior's cross, and leaves were doomed to trouble the end of the world. It is illegal in the State of gi& to give any kind of liquors to minors. inanj^persons wbo put wine their tables for young persons drink do not know that such illegal conduct and is subject indictment before the courts the State. Although Mr. Cleveland defeated last November, he been twice elected this —tlie first time as member of New l r ork Chamber of and the next time as a member the New York Bar No doubt he will discharge duties thus imposed upon faithfully and efficiently. The phrase, “A March,” applies strictly only the bridegroom’s entrance the state of matrimony—he in like a lion, and his future like conduct completes the allel. Business courtesy pays. men have an idea, because ness is business,’ the common politeness of life is to dropped as soon as they their office chair, or their door closes them in. In words they seem to act ‘now look out for me, I am your friend a social way I’ll skin you alive you have anything to do with me in business ivay. It is very true that ‘business,’ and any man who uses the fact of any friendly so¬ cial relation to advance his own ends, Jat the expense of yours, should ‘be fired.’ This is no ex¬ cuse for your cold, ill mannered behavior and boorishness. A gen¬ tleman is a gentleman inside his place of business as well as out¬ side of it, and it pays to be a gen¬ tleman in business as well as out of it. The White Cap idiocy, instead of dying out, seems to be on the increase, So much the worse for our national reputation for good sense. jgiApWINE OF CARDUI a Tonic for Women. Bil Arp in Home and Farm lias this to say: “Daniel Webster and Clay were utter failures as busi¬ ness men. Our most noted South¬ ern statesmen Yvere failures. HoyvcII Cobb and Ben. Hill and Hercliel Johnson and Alex. Ste¬ phens were failures. So are Gordon and Colquitt up to date though they may strike another rich vein some of these days. I hope they will. Joe Brown is an exception to all rules. He can think large and think small sim¬ ultaneously.

Jj. w F %y A 4 THE CHEAPEST. R \ \s n sale at Dr. W. H. Lee & Son’s. With one canal partially exca¬ vated at Panama and another about to be begrm through Nica¬ ragua, the possibility of building the ship rnihvay across Mexico would seem no longerto exist, even if it could be shown that the pkys ical obstacles could be overcome. But it seems that the canal project have stirred the Mexican govern¬ ment to decisive action in favor of the railway. A concession had already been granted, but as it proved insufficient to induce the building of the road, the govern¬ ment has made another proposi¬ tion to the accredited agent of the company, and this, a New Orleans paper says, seems to assure the success of the enterprise. The effect of the proposition is that Mexico, in addition to the conces¬ sion of the right of way and large tracts of land, will guarantee 5 per¬ cent. interest on $60,000,000 of bonds, the sum estimated to be necessary to construct the road in case the company's earnings should not be as much as 5 pe r cent.; or if the interest falls below $3,000,000 a year the Mexican government promises to make good the entire amount of that deficit. As far back as I can remember, said Dr. Charles Hodge, I had the habit of thanking God for every¬ thing I received, and of asking him for everything I Yvanted. If I lost u book, or any of my play things, I prayed that I might find it. I prayed walking along the streets, in school and out of school, whether playing or study mg. I did not do this in obedi enee to any prescribed rule—it seemed natural. I fch ought of God as an eveiyivliere-present being, full of kindness and love, Yvho would not be offended if children talked to him. M. M. Collins of Lavu’enceville has a little boy only 9 years old, Yvho is a remarkable musician for his tender years. He is only 9 years of age and has never had any instructor. Seven or eight months ago he picked up an old violin and commenced trying to learn to play by ear. He is now what is called in the country a good fiddler, and can play nearly any piece lie ever heard, and he plays it well, hardly ever making a mistake or false note. He lias very little use of one arm on ac¬ count of an injury he received several years ago by falling out of a tree. This does not seem to trouble him Yvhen he handles the bow. If he had a competent in¬ structor he would doubtless make a noted violinist. He certainly has remarkable talent in that line. He was upon the streets of Law renceville several days last week playing, tention by and attracted skill with much which at¬ lie. the handled the boxv. Adam Beck, an aged negro of Atlanta, died Wednesday at his little home in Bellwood, just out¬ side the city limits. Beck is said to have been a miser, and is con¬ sidered one of the richest negroes about Atlanta. He hoarded his wealth, his greatest delight being counting his money and talking about his possessions. He was a strong, healthy man, and his death was the result of a short illness. He leaves no relatives, so far as is knoYvn, and made no will. His property was estimated at from $8,000 to $14,000. Beck has a physical deformity no less pecu¬ liar than his insatiate appelite for nickels and dimes. This was in the shape of a tail four or five inches long and covered with coarse, straight hair like that of a dog. He manipulated the tail just and as he would a finger or toe, seemed quite proud of the unusual appendage. A Profitable Business.

WECAT IS* SCROFULA It is that impurity in the hlood, which, ac¬ cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro¬ duces unsightly lumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can¬ cerous growths, or the many other manifesta¬ tions usually ascribed to “humors:” which, fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption and death. Being the most ancient, it is the most general of all diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from it. How Can CURED It Be Ey taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by the remarkable cures it has accomplished, often when other medicines have failed, ha3 proven itself to he a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease. Some of these cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from scrofula, he sure to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. « My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof¬ ulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months old till she became six years of age. Bumps formed in her neck, and one of them after growing to the size of a pigeon’s egg, became a running sore for over three years. "We gave her Hood’s Sarsaparilla, when the lump and all indications of scrofula entirely dis¬ appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy child.” J. S. Cari.ii.e, Nauvight, N. J. N. B.

(PUBLISHED EY’ERY THURSDAY.) The Christian Index, noYv in sixty-sixth year, and with a new outfit, under the editorial direc¬ tion of Dr. Henry H. Tucker, brighter and better than at time in its history. Dr. Tucker, OYvning and controlling the Index, has entered upon the editorial work Yvith more interest and ter zeal than ever, and is spar in no effort or expense to make it Yvorthy representative of the tist denomination. His efforts and merit the united co-operation support of the Baptist of Tlie present management of Index is making strenuous not only to produce an able paper for all readers, but useful and valuable medium communication, information, efit and instruction, of a character. News and notes religious interest from churches, pastors and laymen in all parts this and other States are earnes ly solicited. As the Index is a Yvith pastors, I modestly suggest to you that the more the Index is read by your members, the more they will hold up your hands and the better Christains they will be. It therefore behooves you to make earnest appeals, from time to time, for subscribers among your res¬ pective flocks. The Index is the only paper, so far as I know, that lias declined to admit to its advertising col¬ umns patent nostrums, quack med¬ icine and other advertisements, offensive to the refined reader. There are some of this character, now in the paper, contracted for by former proprietors, which con¬ tracts we are required to fill; when these old contracts expire, there will be no more of the kind. This policy has cut off largely the reve¬ nues of the paper and rendered support from subeription of $2.00 each more necessary. Will the good people of this country sustain Dr. Tucker in this heroic effort, which, solitary and alone he is making in behalf of good morals ? Or shall it be said that the only man yvLo dared to take such a step was allowed by a Christian public to fail for Yvant of support? Respectfully, J. C. McMichael, Business Manager.
