JOHN R MADDOX Editor.
satFrday - JULY 3, 1886.
GOOD PEOPLE DENOmsOED.
The last Issue of our esteemed con
temporary, tbe Conyers Weekly,
contains a strong editorial, denounc
ing the good, religions people of the
coufttry for the active interest they
are taking in politics. It boldly
says: “He that would debase bis
church to accomplish political ends
is an enemy to his denomination, an
oppressor of the weak, a disturber of
j»oblic peace and has just enough
religion to damn his soul and send
him to hell forever.” This is pretty
severe to say the least of it. Would
it not be better for the good and
pure people of our county to take
more interest in politics than they
do. The idea with our contempora¬
ry seems to be that political Hence ques
tions are decidedly impure. people to ab¬
would advise all good
stain from any participation in pol
itics. This may be a very bright
idea, but we are perfectly willing for
tbe Weekly to have the full benefit
of it. Tbe other side of the question
is, to improve the politics tlm eon
trollers must be improved. Then,
where are we to go for good men, if
not among church members? Is it
hot a duty, both patriotic and reli
gious, every voter owes to himself
and family to see to it that he lends
his assistance in purifying, what the
Weekly says, “will damn his soul
and send him to hell forever.”
Hear the Weekly in the same line:
"Church and state matters will not
mix and he who would do so is an
enemy to both.” The great trouble
to the country is that politics has
never bad enough religion mixed
with it In reply to the Weekly
Solomon would say: “When the
righteous bear rule the people re¬
joice. When the .wicked rule the
people mourn.”
We must confess to a surprise people at
the Weekly denouncing good political
for taking an interest in
matters. On this question the
Weekly docs not appear to be neu
tral.
Stewart county acted on the gu¬
bernatorial question Thursday. Wo
have not beard how it went, hence It
does not appear iu our table.
The most extraordinary incident
of absentmindedness is told of a
clergyman, who forgot what he was
about in tbe middle of a prayer and
sat down. In a moment he arose,
and, pointing to the amazed congre
gation, said: “Oh! by the way,
amen.”
of a white infant has been found in
the woods near that place, hidden in
a log. A coroner’s inquest was
held Tuesday and it developed the
fact that the mother of the child
was a poor but respectable girl in
the neighborhood, and the father,
who placed the body in the log, is
a young man whose parents are
among the best people of the county.
He has run away.
Bacon Is fagged and dispirited by
the unsuccessful campaign work he
kas been doing. On the other
band bis gallant opponent Gordon
is as fresh as a mountain breeze, and
as strong and elastic as a hickory,
notwithstanding the incessant and
bard work he has done. He has gone
into win and will win. He is up¬
held by the voice of a good con
science within and without by the
confidence and plaudits of an ad¬
miring and devoted people.—Atlan¬
ta Journal.
Gladstone and Parnell are to-day
the foremost men in Europe. A vic¬
tory in the recent struggle could
scarcely have added to their renown.
They have illustrated and illumina¬
ted their noble cause, and it strong¬
er in Great Britian than it was be
fore the contest began. Could they
desire any more forcible recognition
of their great services? The day
of justice for Home Rule will surely
come; but their day of justice is
cow.
A debate between Rev. D. B. Clay¬
ton, of the Univeisalist church, and
ElderS S. Landrum, of the Church
of Christ, will be held in the Acade¬
my at Jug Tavern, Ga., beginning
July 7th, 1886, and lasting four days.
First proposition: “The scriptures
teach the final holiness and happi¬
ness of all mankind.” Clayton af
firms, Landrum denies. Second
proposition: “The scriptures teach
an endless punishment for those who
die in sin.” Landrum affirms, Clay¬
ton denies.
The twenty-first annual celebra¬
tion of the DeKalb county Sunday
School Association will come off in
the Children’s Tabernacle, in De¬
lator on Wednesday August 4th.
The annual address will be deliver
ed by Hob. J. T. Pendleton, of At¬
lanta. ThesRsiallation address will
be made by Rev. N. Keff Smith, of
Atiaata. The Prize lor sieging will
be preseated Atlanta. by J.C.Ceertney, Esq.,
of There see forty four
Sand ay schools connected with the
Association. M. A. Candler has
been president for twelve or fifteen
years. Tbe election of officers takes
place on Tuesday August third.
A G£NTLE REPROOF.
A hunter once said that though
he could skin a skunk he did not
particularly hanker after such work.
As the hunter grew older he said the
skinning had never paid and him hide any¬
thing, since both flesh were
worthless and, therefore, becoming
wiser,the old woodsman learned to go
around skunks rather than to brain
and skin them. So in the newspaper
business it is often better to pass by
scurrilous and “guerrilla” squibs in
silence than to gratify toe vanity of
the little fellow who utters them by
pladng him in a newspaper pillory.
He glories in being made conspicu¬
ous though be may stand in the
stocks. Don’t let any newspaper
man say that this short article is
intended for him unless the cap ex¬
actly fits his little bead.—Meriweth
er Vindicator.
The Macon Telegraph and Dr.
Felton have done good services for
General Gordon during this cam¬
paign, although they “didn’tgo to
doit.” Their zeal lacked judgment
and in their blind malice they ran
their heads against a wall.—Mari¬
etta Journal.
Forty-five years ago the engage
mene of P. J. Jones and his sweet¬
heart was broken, and each married.
She become Mrs. N. Clark, of Me
Lean, Ill., and he settled in Han¬
cock, Mass. Mrs. Jones died, and
so did Mr. Clark, and a few days
ago Mr. Jones went to Rodman, N.
Y., and was there joined by Mrs.
Clark, and the two, who had not met
for forty-five years, were made man
and wife. Each is over seventy
y ears old.
Joseph Cook recently said that
every one should have an aim in life.
Wc presume Mr. Cook docs not al¬
lude to woman. An aim in life
wouldn’t do them any good. They
would never bit it, anyway, unless
they improved very much in their
Lieut. Bridgeman, of the Second
United States Artillery, is in Atlan¬
ta, arranging for the arrival of bat
teries D and H, which will leave St.
Augustine on July 10, The batter
ies will go into camp near the East
Tennessee shops, where they were
located two years ago. It is thought
that batteries now stationed at New
Orleans will also be ordered to At
lantn. The soldiers will remain in
Atlanta until late next fall. The
Second Artillery is composed large
ly of Southern born men, who have
enlisted within the last eight or ten
years.
The Forty second Georgia regi¬
ment is to have a grand re union at
at Ponce de Leon this summer
“owing to a press of matter,” some¬
thing or other “was unavoidably
crowded out.”
“I belieyel could just live on pig’s
teet,” said a Chicago dude at lunch
with his blushing admirco.”
“You live, and have y T our being
on them, don’t you?” was the unaf
fected and scriptural reply.
“Have j’ou ever tried the faith
cure?” asked a long haired, sallow
faced stranger, addressing a gentle¬
man who sat behind him in a Brook¬
lyn street car. “I have,” was the an¬
swer, “I)o you believe in it?” “I
do,” "May I ask then, of what you
were cured?” “Certainly. I was
cured of my faith.”
THAT OLD SHOE.
Please give the origin of the cus
tom of throwing an old shoe after a
newly married couple. To this tbe
Constitution replies as follows: It
comes from the ancient Jewish cus¬
tom of handing a shoe to a purchas¬
er of land on the completion of a
contract (vide Ruth. iv. 7). Parents
also gave a shoe to the husband on
a daughter’s marriage in token of
yielding up their authority. Urqu
hart, in his “Pillars of Hercules,”
states: “At a Jewish marriage I was
standing by vhe bridegroom when
the bride entered. As she crossed
the threshold he stooped and struck
her with of the the neck. heel [of I a shoe] on the tbe
nape at once saw
interpretation of the passage of
Scripture respecting the transfer of
the shoe to another in case the broth¬
er-in-law did not exercise his privi¬
lege. The slipper in the east, being
taken off indoors, is at hand to ad¬
minister correction, and is here to
signify the obedience of the wife
and the supremacy of the husband.
The Highland custom is to strike
for good luck, as they say, with an
old shoe. Little do they suspect the
meaning implied.”
