Six months. In advance............ .50 TT' 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. j ; W' if*. K ' : f (•: /ms ' mil-' - TrVYYWT luN U VV UTVCl?
