Rev. Dr. Rags?d le.
Rev. Br. Ragsdale has ac
cepted Jktawr the chair of Bible study

probably move to Macon aboil.
the first of September. Dr
RagSdal; has been pastor of (he
Baptist cluich iielo for severe!
years amlis held h. very high
esteem by, not only the mem¬
bers of his congregation, but by
the people of Conyers generally
Ho is an able minister and ;
gentleman of native culttin
and refinement, That he wit
give up his church here seems
inevitable- mu! the people natu
rally feel a deep regret for the
prospect of losing him. He has
been and is a most useful and
available man in his denoiui.oa
tion and the people of Couycn
are not alone in their realiza¬
tion of his great worth, He
has been doing a great work
throughout the Uiate for some
time past in behalf ot church
people, His Bible insvilnti
meetings have been of great
pioiit to the different chunhe;
visittd by him and his labors in
this line have been uoted for
their system and lliorotiglmess
'J'iie position he lias been call¬
to in Mercer University i;
one of vast importance and is a
jii-hl in which the .line tnlent. of
this able cliiFtiau gentleman
may be utilized in doing, per
haps, a much greater good than
ever before, and while his
chinch at this place may regia I
exceedingly to lose him, yet
they should tejoice that he is to
be harncssetl m one of the
grandest institutions of the State
where his true worth may be
measured add applied to the
good of others.
We are sorry that the mob
failed to catch the negro who as¬
saulted the little giii at i
Joy. He deceives worse than
mere lynching.

«*«?. Obituary of Ufi- Miss Dalhe fi Al- ,,

loss than m the deal,, of sisle.
Dallie Almand, who died on
June ‘2(>, 1897, after several
inoiitl s of severe iliness. She
was a devoted member of the
Baptist church, a noble clii'it —
dan teacher in our Sunday
school. Her funeral was con¬
ducted by her pastor, B. I).
Ragsdale, D. D.
The long funeral procesion
comprising many of the Chris¬
tian people of all denominations
of Gonyers, that followed her
remains to the burying ground,
was a slight k ken of the esteem
in which. she was held in her
own community. It seems to
have been an easy' matter for
her to make her home the aliid
ing place of love and gentleness
Christian life. it came
natural to her because of her
trust in God: and tin's sweet
spirited daughter is doing in her
immortal home what we could
not see she was doing in her
mortal home—leading the un¬
saved of her family to God and
heaven. It is thus that God re¬
veals to tis the force of a life ol
trust and love. Gii, what a
blessed assurance, indeed! God
is love and such lives as this
make it manifest in this world.
She was true toevety social,
homo and religious duty of this

a course of Ayer’s Pills tlie
system is set iti good working
order and a man begins to feel ,
that life is worth living. He
who lias become the gradual
prey of constipation, does not
realize the friction under which
lie labors, until the burden is
lifted from him. Then bis
mountains sink into mole
bills, bis moroseness gives
place to jollity, he is a happy
mail again, If life does not
seem worth living to you, you
