UNION & RECORDER.
Augusta Letter.
Augusta, Ga. >
Dec. 10, 1886)
Editors Union-Rkcorder:
The Methodist Conference has ad
journed and left behind three of .Au
^usta’s most popular preachers. Gen.
C A. Evans will remain at St. James,
Rev. Mr. Stipe at Asbury, and Rev.
A G. Wardlaw at the Broad Street
Missibn. We all wish that Mr. Bon
ner the beloved pastor of St. Duke,
had been retained by his church in a
field that he has cultivated with such
success. Dr. Roberts has been ap
pointed pastor of St. John, and Rev.
Mr Allen has been assigned to St.
Luke. Our Methodist brethren are
happy, and everybody else is satisfi-
**The Baptist Church was well filled
last Sunday afternoon by a congrega
tion eager to hear the Rev. Sam
Jores preach. It was the first time
that your correspondent ever saw or
heard the great evangelist. He ut
tered no new truths; he said nothing
very original. It strikes me that his
power lies not so much in what he
says as the way in which he says it.
One moment he will make you so sad
that you’ll feel like weeping, and in
the next breath he will say something
so funny that you’ll almost split your
side with laughter. I doubt if he
would make a very acceptable pastor
for a *'fashionable church.” The
church would soon cease to be “fash
ionable,” or Sam Jones would soon
leave them without a pastor. He has
his mission; and though at times his
language is “coarse” and his manner
“unrefined”, fewer crowns in the spir
it Land will have more diadems than
that of Sam Jones. # j
Yesterday’s News and Courier con
tained a sensational article in refer
ence to the Augusta Savings Bank of
this city, one of our most flourishing
institutions. Mr. Alfred Baker is
President, and Capt. J. S. Bean is
Cashier of the Bank. Mr. Bean has
been confined to his bed for several
weeks past with nervous prostration,
caused, it is said by over work. Only
a few davs ago he left for Oxford, Ga.,
for the purpose of recuperating his
wasted energies. His absence, to
gether with several wild rumors float
ing about the streets, created a sus
picion in the minds of a few that
something was wrong at the Bank.
The affair is considerably mixed up,
but the President announces that the
whole thing is nothing more than a
sensation. Mr. Thomas Bean, broth
er of the Cashier, and the correspon
dent of the News and Courier had a
slight altercation yesterday after
noon. The former avers that he will
hold the News and. Courier responsi
ble for giving publicity to false and
malicious rumors. Capt. J. S. Bean
is a young man, who for years past,
has held the confidence and esteem of
a host of friends. He was for a long
time Captain of the Clinch Rifles, and
while at the head raised the standard
of his -'company to the greatest effi
ciency it has attained since the war.
He was for years a recognized leader
among the young men of our city,
and thev all seemed pleased to do him
honor. It is to be hoped that he will
soon return and satisfactorily prove
that the rumors affecting his charac
ter are altogether false.
Another effort is being made to re
organize the Young Men’s Christian
Association. The meeting for this
purpose will be held m the Chapel of
the First Baptist church this night
at 7:30 o'clock. Mess. W. C. Sibley,
Jas. F. Bothwell and Dr. J. M. Hull,
are most prominent in the movement.
It is to be hoped that the new asso
ciation will avoid the mistakes of the
old, do more good, and live much
longer, Let it really be what its
name implies, a Christian Association,
and not a Society for a few favored
ones to air their special talents. Let
it be an association to reform all kinds
and classes of young men—the illiter
ate as well as the learned, the poor as
well as the rich.
Another election will soon be upon
us. Our people are notified that an
Among our Exchanges. I PATENTS GRANTED
election will ’ be held on the 5th of
January next, for the several county
officers.* There are already two can
didates in the field for Sheriff, Col.
Wilberf rce Daniels the present en
cumbent and Capt. Charles Richard,
his old opponent. For Clerk of the
Superior Court, Hon. W. E. Keener,
the present efficient encumbent, is
opposed by Messrs. G. L. McMurphy,
and H. L. Hayes. The latter is the
gentleman who opposed Mr. Keener
for Council a few days ago. As the
coming election will not be confined
to the voters of a certain ward, it is
predicted that Mr. Keener will sweep
the field with a handsome majority.
For Receiver of Tax Returns, Mr.
Chas. Hollingsworth, the present en
cumbent, will be opposed by Messrs.
W. J. Steed and C. M. Wilkinson.
Uncle JohnBohler, our Tax Collector,
and Capt. Geo. Adam, our popular
Treasurer, have no opposition. It
would be a hard matter for any one to
defeat either of these gentlemen.
Mr. Bohler will no doubt die in the
office he now holds, and Capt. Adam
is strong with the people, and has
made such a fine record. The candi
dates are all busy and the excitement
will gradually increase. The election
for Ordinary will not be held within
two years, but already the names of
several gentlemen have been mention
ed in connection with that office. It’s
a glorious (?) privilege to be a voter,
but much more so to be a candidate.

It is said that the public has paid
for Appleton’s “American Cyclopoe-

The world has suffered a loss in the
death of Mr. John E. Owens, the com
edian. He was a conspicuous charac
ter of that bright galaxy that lignted
the world to a laugh. They dismiss
ed the cares of life for a brief season,
at least, and tired nature feels strong
er to resume the burdens it has laid
aside. To make others laugh is a no
ble mission in this life.—Albany News.
Another year has demonstrated the
fact that farmers can’t profitably
make an outlay of 8 cents per pound in
order to have a few bales of 8 cent cot
ton to sell at the end of the year. If
they will give next year to provision
crops, and buy an average crop of
cotton at the end of the year, they
will find it an improvement on the
prevailing method. By buying the
crop ready-made, much trouble will
be avoided and the margin for profits
will not be a whit lessened.—Ishmae-
lite.
The Georgia House of Representa
tives has 175 members. Of this num
ber 88 are farmers, 48 lawyers, 19 mer

mechanic. The farmers have a clear
majority of one over the whole num
ber, or what is known in the House
as a “constitutional majority.” By
uniting solidly to a man they can
pass any measure they want to, and
it requires exactly 88 votes to pass a

To live is to hope. Hope is always
sweet; for if the object one hopes
for be not attained, a true heart will
hope for better things. It always
hopes against hope, and this is a
species of happiness. Anticipation
brings pleasures; realizing is often
disappointing. Disappointment make
men strong. Is it not, therefore, best
to live hopefully?
