The general meeting of the Stone Mountain Baptist Association was held with the First Baptist church of this place last week. A great many visiting f.lends and delegates were in attendance, and the servi¬ ces throughout were wholly Inst’ uc tive and Interesting. The main ob¬ ject of their meetings is to confirm the church members in their de¬ nominational beliefs, or to indoctri¬ nate them, as it is called. Last Monday night at 12 :23 Gen. J. P. Sims of Covington, died after a long and painful sickness. He was buried Tuesday in Covington cemetery. He was about 50 years old. In many respects General Sims was a wonderful man. His death will be a source of grief to many people throughout the entire sou Ji.

Sharp and Miss Amanda Hollingsworth were mar¬ ried at the bride’s residence by Rev. Sam Scott in his usual elegant and impressive style, The con trading parties are of this county.

To the newly wedded in common with a host of friends we wish them real happiness and prosperity through life. A few days ago the writer was shown two superbly fine Art Craio drawings, the handiwork of Mrs, H. Y. McCord. One was an al¬ most perfect life-sized drawing of ’Squire McCord. The artist in the two drawings mentioned has ex¬ hibited taste, precision and fastidi¬ ous exactness that is found otily in experienced masters. Both are of rare excellence and beauty. It is customaiyin this country for travelers on meeting to turn, as it is called, to the “Tight hand.” In England the custom is just the opposite, as this paragraph from an exchange will show: “It may be of interest to your readers to know the cause of this ancient custom. It has been handed down from the time when mounted robbers so greatly infested the high stays of that country, whose weapons were frequently swords. By turning to the left, a person meeting with a highwayman had his right arm to¬ ward the robber, and so being able to defend himself against attacks. The sensible custom became a law, the signboards at the entrances of bridges, etc., warning travelers to “Go to the left, as the law directs,” whichlaw remains unrepealed un¬ til the present day. Br. Quigg returned Monday from a pleasant trip to dal t Springs. A few days ago three additions were made to the membership of the Presbyterian church. Miss Delia Weaver an accom¬ plished young lady of Lithonia is visiting relatives and friends in the city.

L-Somcmen who are "too lazy to work, and too proud to beg, and consider themselves too honest to steal, don’t seem to mind buying on credit when they have no earth¬ ly prospect of payingthe debt. Gce-whili-kins! Listen at this from the Thomson Journal: “When an editor calls on his sweetheart he generally organizes a Press Con¬ vention.” A man may chin And a man may work For the temperance cause all day ; But lie can’t go a fishin’ And observe prohibition, Because he ain’t built that way. The ten days for which it was an¬ nounced that Sam Jones would preach in Rome ended Saturday, and the meetings closed Sunday. The congregations have been large all the time, sometimes reaching 8,000. 80 far as present appear¬ ance can be depended on, he has certainly done a great deal of good, though those at whom he has made his hardest licks will probably much con¬ tend that he has also done harm.
