AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF GEOR¬ GIA- ntoM the Women s Christian temperance UNION. The Women’s National Christian Tern perhnte Union have appointed the 23rd „f December as a day of thanksgiving and prayer to God for the rapid advance¬ ment oi the temperance cause through¬ out the world. The progress has been g o marvelous of what was considered a few years ago a ‘ forlorn hope’’ that God has surely been in it. working upon the hearts and consciences of men and wo men, fttsd. stirring them up to duty, and to the performance of Hia will. ‘•The morning light is breaking, The darkness disappears, The sous of earth are waking To penitential tears. ‘■Each breeze that sweeps the ocean Brings tidings from afar Of earth’s remotest nations Prepared for Zion’s war. 1 ’ And tue light that is breaking is so full of ‘‘promise” to the wretched and hopeless, to the captive and gin burden¬ ed, to the helpless and dufenseless, and to the suffering and perishing, as to ap¬ pear almost like the second coming of the Star of Bethlehem ! Let God’s people, then, everywhere take courage, and rejoicing with thanks¬ giving, helu along in the work. We call our own State especially to return thanks for the glorious victories gained, and the good benefits received ! Our sister States are looking toward us with interest and for example, God grant that we inay Bet them a liable one of a speedy and lasting reformation ! The day set apart is the anniversary of the woman’s temperance movement in our country, and as it falls upon Suit day the ministers throughout the States are ret [nested to preash a gospel tem¬ perance sermon on the morning of the 23rd, and the people requested to hate t@mpera.nce mass meetings in the after¬ noon or at night, at which collections shall be taken as a thanks offering to the cause and donated to the Woman’s Tem¬ perance Christian Union to he»p thorn in their work. The funds will be used mostly in the distribution of temperance literature for the purpose of arousing and keeping alive the interest upon the subject. Many good people may be willing to help ns who are opposed to ‘ total ab stienee” and ‘'prohibition.” We hope they may help us. And to them we most earnestly ask the question that, if the original •‘hies*-ing’’ has been turned (through misuse and adulteration) into the most blighting enrse to the human race, and is so recklesdy destroying souls that are so precious in the world to come, as to keep two kingdoms (heaven and hell) at constant warfare for the possession of them, then is it not right to beg God’s deliverance from such an evil, and to do all we can to banish it from our midst-? If we are wYong in our work, may God pardon it and ‘ bring it to nothing,” If right, may He bless and direct and pros¬ per ! To those who are opposed to us, we claim leniency for the sake of our mo¬ tive and the good hoped for. To those in sympathy with us, we ask their pray¬ ers and their encouraging help. And as the 23rd of December is a day set apart for this especial purpose we hope the ef¬ forts be made in our behalf throughout the entire State. We beg that * temperance people” es¬ pecially will exert themselves to make arrangements for the occasion. Respectfully, Mrs. W. C. Silby, Augusta, Ga. State President, W. C. T U. Miss M. H. Stokes, Secretary, Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. M. A. McCalla, Treasurer, Atlanta, Ga. Care McCalla Bros. WOULDN’T BE RUN OVER. “Turn the calf loose,” demanded a white man of a negro who had invaded his premises, “What are you doing here, anyhow? I’ll have you arrested for try¬ ing to steal that calf, you rascal.” “Whose tryin’ ter steal a calf?” ‘•You are, and I’ll have you sent to prison.” “I ain’t been tryin’ ter steal a calf, boss. Yistedy while I was a walkin’ along de street out dar, dat ole cow slip¬ ped up on me an’ boosed me an tore my clothes wrid her horns. I tole her I was gwine ter hab ’venge, an’ je»’ now I come ober heah and cotch her calf ter make her sorry fur de way she had treated me. I wan't studyin’ ’bout steal leg de blame calf, but lent me te’l yer, I eln’t a gwine ter let no cow run ober me. LIVE STOCK ITE mS. h rmn Canada 55,674 cattle and 113,725 sheep have been exported this year. One hundred thousnii] cattle hate Corne east th s year over the Union Pacific railroad. Over 17,000 carcass' s of mutton in a frozen condition were recently at, Manchester, Eng a d, from South Australia. Allowing twelve quarts of m;lk to the pound, a New York dairyman says tlutt at three and one-half cents per quart milk is- more profitable lhau butter at 28 cents per pound. The M divine Lodge Index say's ihai cows with their calves are bring mg $36 to $J0, dry cows $20, and yearlings $20 to $22 each. This in dicates a strong feeling in the trade in stock cattle ou the plains. Have the hen house so constructed that no dtafts can enter io afflict the fowls with roup, colds, etc. Always keep the house clean, have it warm in winter, and to do this have glass sash put in its south front. The Posoti creamery, iu Wiscon¬ sin, shipped during their run of six months an average of 35 tubs of buts tar each week, an aggregate ©f over I 25 tons for the season. They have been able to pay their patrons from 15 10 22 cents a gage for their cream. Poultry , . should raisers not over-1 ! look the fact , that , tliore . mangy mi is turkeys. , _ Inere has .1 been raising not j a time lor years that they have not been in good demand and at fair j prices. If you are raising chickens , for market, keep also turkeys ; they will pay. Of the short horns offered for sale by Dr J. P, Forsyth & Son, near Franklin, Iud , November 27th, the Indiana Fanner says that the prices realized were no way proportionate to tbs value •! the animals, and the lucky pul-chasers may congratulate themselves on getting some first-class st0e k al i ow figures. Tne highest re% ceived was $105, but the average was bu f $73. Th? Pioneer cheese factory in Port Washington, Wisconsin, hasa reooid for a season of 51230 pounds of cheese and 976 pounds of hatter. Ten sales of cheese were made at satisfac*. lory prices and two sales of butter at an average price of 27| cents a pound The proprietress. Mrs. Mary E Eokle did uot commence the manufacture of butter until the latter part of the sea¬ son. Those who have charge of fine stock going West are sometimes guilty of shameful neglect. Notions ago forty fine cattle were put into box cars no cattle cars having been at hand at the time, and when the cars weie opened just before tiie train started it was found that the animals were nearly suflocated. A little more delay would have caused the death of the entire consignment. The Wyoming Stock Growers’ As¬ sociation is making earnest efforts to stop the stealing of cattle. For this purpose it employs a number ol in¬ spectors and detectives, some oi whom ate stationed at the great cat lie shipping points to watch for brands belonging to members of the association. Any person who owns even one cow, or who intends to soon* become a stock owner, can become a member by paying a membership fee of $15, annual dues of $10 and an annual assessment of one cent per head for the cattle be owns. ROMANTIC STORY OF A CEMETERY. The Baltimore Green Mountain Cem fery has a most romantic history. Fifty years ago it was the happy home of the Oliver family, which consisted of the father and two ohildren, son and daugh¬ ter. The daughter, who was a beautiful girl had many suitors, but to all did she say nay, rave one, a poor young man. of whom her father disapproved, and whom he had forbidden her to see. He had also taken an oath that if he caught the young man on the grounds he would shoot him. But true love not only laughs at bolts and bars, but at shot guns as well. One evening the young lady, having agreed to meet her lover at the foot of the lane, donned a suit of her brother’s clothes, hoping thereby to es¬ cape detection, and sallied forth. Hei keen eyed father caught sight of her as she marched boldly along, and, thinking he recognized in the trespasser the young man who had been forbidden the grounds raise! his gun and fired. The feminine shriek which pierced the air revealed to him what he had done. His daughter was dead befoie he reached her side »nd from that day the father bee one a wanderer on the free of earth. lie to<>k Ins son and wc-tn abroad, leaving Ids propei tv in the hands of an agent with orders to seil the homestead for a cem¬ etery. Xu a short time t },ti city purchae ed all the grounds and tli? body of ihe murdered giil was the hist o, e to be Luried there. WIT AND HUMOR.

We may moralize as much as tvt please about, pain; but the fact is, that we don’t like it while it lasts, and that we want to get rid of it as soon as w can, Whether caused by rheumatism, gout, disordered liver, weak nerves, irregular kidneys, bad blood, or anything else that is just the reverse of what it should be, the sooner it is out of the system the happier we are. Whether pain is the result of imprudence or of acci¬ dent, or is sent as a punishment for our sins, may be a nice question for the philosopher to argue; but peo¬ ple who are suffering want first to be rid of the pain, after which those who are fond of argument may argue the matter to their hearts’ content. Above all theory, argument, and philosophy, comes the delightful drives fact that Brown’s Iron Bitters pain awa}-. Sufferers run no risk in trying this medicine, the only com¬ pound containing iron which carries no mischief with it. Those who have used it will tell you so; and you can try for yourself by buying a bottle 0 f the nearest druggist. * MiECiliCYOUB _ 'To say that malariais misehievcvss fo to put it very mildly.
