Saturday, March ‘23, 1895.
Dahlonega will have its camp
meeting earlier this year.
Buch Anthony, of Biaktly,
Ga., is the brag rifle shot of the
state.
It is an assured fact that Mc¬
Donough will have a cotton
factory.
Rich wood, Ga., has big mills,
water works, electric lights, frec
schools and 8(H) peopl
Ex-Gov. Northern is going
right ahead wi.h hisemi naion
movement. He is couiiaciu of
settling 14,000 people who agree
to take 100,000 acres <>' lai.d,
which will be called till) Old
Soldiers Colony.
Oh ! poor woman—Since the
woman sufirage movement has
been agitated it is now discuss¬
ed that registration will require
her to swear to her age bcfoie
she .can vote. This will be
specially heavy on old in .i'is !
Do what you may, and say
what you will, the Atlanta Con¬
stitution is u great paper it
reaches thousands of ivau.ws
who get the news from every
section. Comment and mi
cism soent to give a groater im¬
petus to its motive power.
The little affair between (Japt.
Crossman, of the Alliance*, and
the Spanish gunboat grows in
interest. The complication may
grow into serious proportions,
aud then what? Why the United
States w ill give Spain a small
flogging and take Cuba to boot.
Well! It seems that this
country has had already sore
experience in war—yet it war
comes, let it so be—and may be
many a pour devil who cuu get
nothing to do now will have a
job with Uncle Sam. Ferhaps,
too, it would settle the silver
question.
T)>e Atlanta Constitution has
Bent the Washington correspond
ent, E. W. Barrett, to the Ori¬
ent, Mr. Barrett will keup the
people posted upon the progress
of the war nuw going on be¬
tween Japan and China. The
Constitution now riv lU a the
ISew York Herald.
Besides the thousands l rtVell
as presents to the bride and
groom, the Castollane-Gould
wedding cost $12,000. T;.is a
mount w .n-vpaid out to minister,
urshers, servants, etc. ivnmy a
poor fellow, in Georgia, with
$12 would be willing to g.ye i US
girl six dollars, ami then go in¬
to matrimonial
with bouyant hopes of a
perous and lively career.
it has been suggested >y an
exchange that prodigal
are always invited bactu hut
prodigal girls never. Tins
true, and unfortunate ho.
When a young man Ci«p arts
from the line of rectitude,
goes in forbidden paths, friends
of both sexes cry aloud,
back! come back!” But alas!
how sad aud how true, when a
daughter or sister goes astray,
her sex turn the back of
hand and cry, “away! t v»y !"
How many girls thoughtlessly
entrapped might-have been
deemed iu charity by their sis
lets.
p f llw P*™;
avista, who was making light of
the Bible, and never heeding
the still small voice of God, has
I been convinced by the thunder
clap atld lightning flash, which
destroyed his house the
day. Be careful not to ridicule
God’s word, even though you
do not believe its teachings.
The article , in , last _ Fridays . , ,
Constitution, (the 15th) upon
i he aubiect ^ of free books was a
timely one. If we mistake . not
there is a tendency to urge a
uniformity of book, by
authority, then comes the free
books. We do not want the
free book system introduced in¬
to the schools. Uniformity of
books will bring free books, then
tree shoes, hats and clothing,
and so on, until the thing would
get to be unbearable.
The saddest of the sad is the
death of Dr. Broadus, wao died
last Saturday morning at Lou
•isville, Ky. A good and great
man is gone. He served his
day and generation in fear of
God, and for the good of his
fellow men. The Baptist de¬
nomination has lost a wise
eouncellor, the Christian world
a strong advocate, the literati a
thorough scholar. In fond mem¬
ory will many theological stu¬
dents cast the sprig of acasia
upon his grave.
A GOOD SERMON.
Di. Candler preached in the
Methodist church Sunday,
morning and night. We had
the pleasure of hearing the dis¬
course at night upon the sub¬
ject, “Unconsciousness of
Christian Work.” The subject
was new to us, and yet the
learned Doctor handled it so
well that it gave comfort to the
followers of the Master. His
arguements were complete and
illustrations apt and pointed.
The foundation of his sermon
was from the 34th to the 40th
verses, inclusive, of the 25th
chapter of Mathew. The nar¬
rative here shows that the
< i righteous” were perfectly un¬
conscious as to what they had
done for the Savior, that He
should invite them to inherit
the kingdom prepared for them,
etc. The man who does the
most in this life, leaving out
self, and takes no thought as to
the reward, illustrates the true
Christian character. Daniel
Webster, loosing all thought of
self, and having no eye upon
fame, held the Senate spell
bound and would carry his
points, while Edward Everett,
with his rounded periods, and
chaste diction, hoping to make
reputation, would take his scat,
having accomplished nothing,
except the utterance “he said
his speech well.” The societies
of our day, instituted lor char¬
itable purposes, would have
their standing committees who
would make public reports, etc.
Tivis is well, and we would not
too severely condemn, bat the
unpretentious woman who vis¬
tied the hovel and attended her
sick sister in want and distress
and whose deed was known on
ly to the Master, would be more
to receive the plaudit: “Come
blessed o€ my father.” The
burden of the discourse was to
show that the Christians who
work the works of the Lord
without an eye on the reconr
pense of reward, or without any
end in view, doing all for
the love of it, and to do fallen
men good, are the blessed of the
father. The Savior rewarded
these “righteous the blessed of
the father,” for deeds of which
they were unt omcious.
