THE CHURCH MUST PRE¬
VENT CRIMINALS
Mr. Editor :— I find an article
in the daily Constitution of the
28rd of November from Mr. C. S.
Griffith, of Baltimore, Md., on
“Prisoners and Prison Reforms,”
that I think is worthy of a sec¬
ond thought, and it will aid our
people greatly, if they will study
it, when we come to grapple with
that great question in the near fu¬
ture.
Our present convict system is a
foul blot on Georgia’s fair escutch¬
eon. Some change is demanded;
a change must be made. But
how? Mr. Griffith gives some
sound advice in this line. He gives
some sound and good advice about
helping excriminals—extendin g
the helping hand to poor fallen
man. He gives some sound ad¬
vice, especially in the best of all,
the prevention of criminality. If
we held out the helping hand of
tener to the overworked father or
wayward boy, we would have lees
criminals.
We go to our churches on the
Lord’s day and hear a good ser¬
mon on “Am I my brother’s keep¬
er,” go home well satisfied with
ourselves and the rest of mankind
can take care of themselves.
Oh, shame to our professed
Christianity, who are among the
first to cast a stone at one of our
poor unfortunate neighbors, who
were tempted further than they
could bear. How quickly we have
forgotten that we are our broth¬
er’s keeper—have forgotten so
soon to hold out the helping hand
Do we feel anothers woe and
try to hide the faults we see?
Why cannot we remember that
with the same judgement we judge
we shall be judged? Why cannot
we in the future determine to
help our fellow man all we can,
and try to keep him from falling?
When this course is honestly per
sued by the professed Christians
of any community, we will have
less criminality and immorality.
The church will have a power that
will be felt—this power is in the
hand of each individual member.
By your acts the world admires or
condemns the whole—one drop of
ink mars the whole sheet.

SHEFFIELD HAPPENINGS.
Road working is the order of
the day in Sheffield.
Rev. E. L. Shelnutt, state evan¬
gelist of the Christian church for
Georgia, and former pastor of
Bethel church, filled the pulpit at
that place last Sunday. He is an
able preacher and his many friends
in this section were glad of the
opportunity of hearing him
preach again.
If a stranger should meet one
of our best citizens in the twi¬
light, he would think that Shef¬
field had a “dog eater.”
Mrs. Ama Nail, from near Oak
Hill, is visiting relatives and
friends in this community.
cowan—MOON.
On Wednesday, December 2nd,
notwithstanding the snow was sev¬
eral inches deep and still falling
incessantly, Mr. A. 0. Cowan, of
Sheffield, with a few select friend*
and relatives, left for the home of
Mr. Fayette Moon, in Walton
county, where he was happily
married to Miss Eppie, Mr. Moon’s
youngest daughter, at 8:15 o’¬
clock, Rev. J. P. McConald, of
Trip, Ga., officiating.
The happy couple left immedi¬
ately for Mr. J. W. Cowan’s, in
this county, the father of the
groom, where a cordial welcome
and a nice supper was awaiting
them.
Mr. Cowan is one of our clever¬
est and most prosperous young
men, and we congratulate him o*
securing for a life partner a young
lady possessing so many charm¬
ing traits as Miss Eppie.
They will make their future
home in Sheffield, where Mrs.
Cowan will find a hearty welcome
among us. May happiness and
prosperity ever attend them.
ELECTRIC BITTERS.
Electric Bitters is a medicine
suited for any season, but per¬
haps more generally needed, when
the languid exhausted feeling pre¬
vails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of a tonic
and alterative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will
act more surely in counteracting
and freeing the system from the
malarial poison. Headache, In¬
digestion, Constipation, Dizzi¬
ness yield to Electiic Bitters.

A BOY’S COMPOSITION.
In a public school in New Eng¬
land the teacher thought she
would give out natural history
subjects as subjects for composi¬
tion. In this way she teaches
them Orthography and natural
history all at once. The common¬
place subject of “Ants ’ was giv¬
en to a bright boy who said he
knew all about it. This is the
result of his efforts:.

A CHOICE CHRISTMAS GIFT.
In the selection of a choice
Christmas gift, or an addition to
ones own library, both elegance
and usefulness will be found com¬
bined in Webster’s International
Dictionary, which is the last of
the various revisions and enlarge¬
ments of the original “Webstar.’
The International represents fifty
times the amount of literary la¬
bor that was expended upon the
earliest edition, and is without
question, the most complete and
reliable work of the kind ever
published in a single volume.
It is warmly indorsed by eminent
scholars throughout the English
speaking world, and is a most
useful book for the library, the
school, the family, the student,
and in fact for all who read or
write the Englis language.

Confidence and trust are the
sweetest things we can give to a
friend. Suspicion is always cold
and cruel to a sensitive heart;
and it were better to be often
deceived by unworthy friends
than to be guilty of woanding al¬ a
noble soul by suspicion; and,
though they are rare, we should
always be lookiug for noble souls
everywhere. We find them when
least expected.—Marietta Jour¬
