A. M. McElvaney, Sec. S. B. Tlie Election. The election last Tuesday was a surprise to most people in this section in that it was a Republi¬ can landslide. It had entered no mind, perhaps, that the Democrat¬ ic defeat would he greater than in 1896, hence the surprise to the people. McKinley and Roosevelt will l ave more than 290 votes in the electoral college since Nebraska. Bryan’s home state, goes to them By over 0,000 majority. The Republicans have won both the House and the Senate by large majorities. Georgia gave a Democratic ma joaity of 45,000, a very light vote being polled throughout the state. The crushing defeat of the Dem¬ ocrats has caused tho leaders to wince slightly but they are yet steadfast and will work the harder for victory 4 years hence. THE VOTE IN ROCKDALE. Bryan 898 Mckinley 194 Livingston 895 Branan 5(5 Populists 52 Prohibitionists 2 As wall be seen* Congressman Livingston led the ticket in this county. He deserved it and we a: e proud he received the largest vote. —RESOLUTIONS— P.,ss d By Woman's Missionary And Aid Society of Conyers Baptist Church. Male. ft has pleased oul heavenly Father, in his all V ise providence, to call from our midst a beloved sister and co-laborer, Mrs. N. Hale She consecrated Chris- I was a tian, shown:g in her Hie kindness, gentleness, and trueness taught by the blaster. She was always * filing to make sacrifices for the comfort . and , enjoyment ol . those about her , ar.d espccuu lv was she noted for her ten i‘f affection to wards her fami] y an(lherself " sacrificin ^ to their wants. We deplore the loss of this belov¬ ed sister, yet take comfort in the faith that 'our loss is her eternal gain.’ After enduring with greatest patience an ill¬ ness of several months, passed to her reward on peaceful Sabbath morning of Sept. 30, 1900. Be it therefore Resolved, 1. That we bow in humble submission to the will of Hin who ‘knoweth best 7 and hloetli all things well’. Resolved, 2. That the Wo¬ man’s Missionary and Aid So¬ ciety has lost one of its most faithful members and a zeal¬ ous worker in the Master’s cause. Resolved, 3. That we tender sympathy to tho bereaved ones. Resolved, 4. r l hat these res olutions be placed on the Sec rotary’s b ok, a copy ho rent the, family of the deceased, and also that copies be fur¬ nished the Index and county papers for publication.

Buffon, 9-19. 1900. To parents and Twain: Two weeks have really gone since I sent you the postal from Atlanta, and almost as much since we left New York. I hope that my friend, Mr. Herron, did not forget his promise to write to you the day that we sailed. Ho is the sbn-in-law of Mrs. McKav, the lady who so kindly invited me to stop with her. I intended to write while in N. Y. but we had a little trouble with our baggage and I thought that I would get all things ready before writing to you and then send you a note af¬ ter getting on board, but instead we didn,t got our baggage until ^'* me to do so. When wo went down to the dock at 11 a. our things had not put in an Not even avalise, the ship was to sail at We began to telephone and found that they had not < vcn l )Ut t * 10 baggage on the truest to be sent and it was half across Brooklyn from us. The Co. held 12 for but as ^ ore wa8 no s igu 0 f (fie :U)C c of our things they pulled left us. Thoy had been gone 6om ’ time whon the baggage came a « d of eou ™' thou * ht U wa9 too late, but the manager engaged J a tu? , )00t , uld „„ omi „ ur on it and sent, us on after tlie vessel, which we caught just befoL it m.ciied Sandy Hook. that is why I did not keep my promise and write from N. Y. I did not know what to write until too late to write at all, sol asKed Mr. Herron to let yon know that we did get off in case w6 did not have to come back at last. You will want to know why our baggage was not on hand. lessness of the Transfer Co. I have not tried to write before now because of sea-sickness. We crossed the Equator night about midnight so that we are now south of the half-way line, and once more near half the world seperates us, but isn’t it glorious that distance cannot change our love and care for one another and that our prayers can reach our Heavenly Father just as readily from one spot of earth or sea as from another, and so we can come together around Hie throne. Do you know that I think that one of the s.-. retest passages in the Bible is that blessed promise, “And there shall be no more sea!” Just think, no more seperation ! no more going out and coming in ! No more sea! and we will be all at home in our Father’s house and rest! Now I had to stop and give Miss Davis and one of the other passen¬ gers a lesson in Portuguese, but it is over now and here I am aguiu. We have had fair weather all the way from New York, but the sea is very rough and the waves high. The Captain tells me we must have just missed a very hea¬ vy storm. So we consider ourselvs very fortunate, even though the pitching of the vessel is not very pleasant. The sea is right against us so that we are making very p tor time. We will in all proba- vsfzxstmaxsi iinimwaniffim msmbmmi .ai^mummaaam i r* Pan 1 EventUnfi went tew u ’ihsiii Me & Ms. Kousefurnishing goods of every kind in wonderful profusion may*be bought at sacrifice pricec at this popular store.

Three are Catholic nuns on the way the way to the Argentine Republic to go into a convent there.* We have seen only one vessel since we left N. Y. Fancy trav¬ eling thousands of miles without encountering a vestige of life. Nothing but the restless, tossing water, sometimes dull and gray, sometimes blue as indigo, some¬ times rolling sullenly along as if angry at being made a highway, sometimes one wave chasing an¬ other as if playing with the ves¬ sel which they toss about as light¬ ly as if it weighed ounces instead of tons, dashing themselves into glittering spray as they leap a gainst its sides and then chase each other away. One begins to realize what an immense thing the world is as he looks out over the water and sees the ocean and sky come together at the horizon and considers that to-morrow he may he beyond that line where the sky. seems to shut down and bar his passage, but it will be only to look around and see tho same effect. The same thing mill be repeated day after day and still the end not be reach¬ ed. Then he feels his insignifi¬ cance and his dependence on the Almighty in a way ho never did before.
