MIDWAY PARAGRAPHS.
' Or Ju»t Saved,
is tlie title of ft most interesting
book written by Rev. G. G. Smith.
Bro. Smith is a greftt friend of the
children and has done much good
among them, both by his talks and
ids books. This book was written
more especially for the boys, anil is
one which every boy should read. It
is very entertaining anil all who lead
it will not fail to obtain some good
from the truths taught therein.
The story is of a little boy who was
indulged by his fond mother. She
was very proud of her son, and loved
him so dearly, that she often failed to
see and eorrect his faults. Harry
was a spoiled, vain, selfish child, and
did not like to see anyone surpass him
or receive praise. At times he was
good and obedient, and when so, nev
er failed to receive ills share of ap
plause. In addition to his whims be
ing humored by his indulgent mother,
he hadanold maiden aunt who did her
full share.
Harry's varied experience at school,
of fortune and misfortune; and, as lie
said, the justice and injustice done
himself and the other scholars; then
the friendships formed, and the ene
mies made; and the lessons taught,
cannot, fail to interest every school
girl and boy.
Harry grows to bo almost a young
man, lie had many trials at school;
made many friends, some good, re
ligious boys, others wicked and bad.
He seeks religion, is converted, but,
alas! amid the jeering of his compan
ions, he becomes angry, and then dis
couraged, anil finally abandons all
effort to be religious. To use the au
thor’s words, “there is n
the devil more willing an
than a bad boy who loves
one of his oomrades that ii
do right,” so poor Harry lai
good resolutions. Alas! h
of us are not able to stand
and his cause when jeered
compauions.
He quits school, tries farming,
fails; visits his wealthy relatives;
indulges in card playing and wine
drinking, and becomes a very wild
young man. He goes to the Univers
ity, and step by step wus led down
the depths; learned to gam tile, became
heavily involved la debt, and return
ed home miserable and in want. He
was a burden to himself and a pleas
ure to no one; squandered his own
and his mother's property, was al
ways drunk, and was finally picked up
in a wretched condition by the friend
of his youth, a Christian man, whoso
kind mother nursed him through a
long spell of sickness. The Lord
saved him, and after that he was a
Christian; became prominent in busi
ness, and devoted the rest of his life
to God.
After being so wicked, and brought
so low, crushing his poor mother’s
heart, and almost friendless and pov
erty stricken, lie realized his condi
tion, and turned to God, who in His
goodness and mercy received him,
and lie was “Just Saved.”
In recommending this book we use
Dr. Cunningham's words: “We com
mend this entertaining little book to
our young people, especially to “the
boys”, for whom it was written, as
adapted to entertain, instruct, and
benefit them. We also commend it
to parents who have boys to raise. It
contains valuable bints and sugges
tions which they, will do well to heed,
and which may save them from days
and years of sorrow, and their boys
from ruin.”
The young people of this city and
elsewhere could not invest fifty cents
better -than to purchase “Harry
Thornton” from Rev. G. G. Smith,
at Vineville, Macon, Ga.
That brainy brother of the M. E.
Church, Rev. G. G. Smith, made the
vflnge a visit Inst Monday. His de
mand for just one dollar Was as win
some as ever, w'e learn.
The children of this day and genera
tion are certainly supplied witli an
abundance of olioico literature and
parents will be inexcusable if they al
low them to acquire a fondness for
trashy and unsuitable reading mat
ter.
Last Friday was one of those days
that gladdened the heart of mortals of
every age. Nearly every one we met
indicated that they were glad they
had lived through the winter to enjoy
it.
The preoepts of Macheavilli have
very justly met with universal con
demnation but it appears that he in
dulged in at least one very correct re
mark, to wit—“Where the fear of God
is wanting, destruction^ sure to fol
low.”
The woods and china trees were full
of robins last week and the boys were
industrious in their efforts to exterm
inate them.
Six cent cotton does not offer much
inducement in the way of money mak
ing but it will be well for farmers in
pitching their crops to calculate on
getting something like that for it this
fall. If they plant it almost exclusive
ly they had better bo “mighty,"
economical in the meantime.
Measles and bad colds have numer
ous victims in the villuge this week.
Death of Mrs. J. A. P. Robson.
Mrs. Robson, the wife of Dr. J. A.
I • Robson, died a few days since at
their home in Linton, Hancock coun
ty. She was the daughter of Mr.
John Ray of Hancock, and for a num
ber of years, Dr. Robson and family
were residents of the eastern part of
this county. She was a lady of ex
cellent traits of character and her old
Baldwin county friends will learn
with much regret of her being called
away from earth in the prime of life,
and leaving a deeply afflicted family
whose loss of her gentle ministrations
only themselves can justly appreciate.
A Correction.
The article on our outside referring
to the death of Col. John T. Grant,
by a singular lapse of an old man’s
memory, was written under the idea
that it referred to Col. L. P. Grant.

[COMMUNICATED.]
The young men of the city gave a
very pleasant “Hon” at the Oconeo
House, Friday night, which was very
much enjoyed by all that were there.
The young ladles were out in full
force, and looked very sweet and
charming, in their evening costumes.
The following are the couples that
were present:
Miss Letitia Wright, of Brunswick,
with Mr. Jesse Beall, of Albany ; Miss
Ada Wright, of Brunswick, with Mr.

tried faithfully to give a correct list
of those present and if he has omitted
some few names, it is because he was
so bewildered by the fascinating beau
ties who adorned the brilliant scene
that he was not capable, under the
circumstance of remembering ail who
were present. He knows that all who
were there will join with him in
thanking Mrs. Marshall for her kind
ness; for a more charming hostess
could not be found in the State.
One Who was There.
Tho attondanco at tho State
University at Athens has been
much increased since the holiday
vacation and new students con
tinue to arrive occasionally. Two
hundred have registered up to
date, and perhaps there was nov-
er on the whole a quieter and
more gentlemanly set of students
in attendance than at present.
Boston Quintette Club.

it. The weather
!nd threatening
ia.ll attendance,
eputation of the
"*nl and artistic
__ re already (we
might say) fadlbus in the South,
should have brought out a much
larger attendance. In Atlanta, De-
Give’s Opera House was packed by
an enthusiastic audience and every
where else that they go, provided the
community is any why noted for intelli
gence anil reilnement, they are re
ceived with a warm welcome and en
thusiastic applause. The concert
here on Saturday night, was a rare
treat to the comparatively small
number of real lovers of music, who
ventured out in spite of the gloomy
weather prospect. The expressions
of delight heard by the writer after
the performance, would doubtless
have proven somewhat eonsolitory
to the performers, if they could have
heard them. We can only hope tiiat
in the future, good musical talent and
the efforts of the lessees of the Opera
House to procure refined and eleva
ting amusements for our people, may
obtain a better reward anil show a
better appreciation on the part of our
people for the higher clnss of amuse
ments.
AMMONIA; OR, HARTSHORN.
fFrom Hall’s Journal of Health.!
The original source of supply of
ammonia was camel’s dung, ft is
found in the refuse matters of men
and animals, and especially in the
urine. It is this that produces the
pungent and sickening odor in urinals
and neglected stables, it is, in its
concentrated form, peculiarly destruc
tive to the delicate tissues of the ani
mal economy. The action of ammo
nia on the sensitive membranes of the
eye is tho most prominent cause of
blindness in horses. Animals that
are ^confined in close stables, where
manure is allowed to accumulate in
considerable quantity, are, in addition
to blindness, peculiarly liable to dis
ease of the lungs and the kidneys,
from the action of ammonia. The ef
fect of this drug seems to be cumula
tive and when taken into the stomach
in small doses repeatedly it is easy
to conceive that its action must be
irritating to the coating of the stom
ach, and to those far more sensitive
membranes that line the passage of
the urinary apparatus.
Ammonia is used in the manufac
ture of some baking powders, and
probably one-half the cans of baking
f owder on grocers’ shelves contain it.
f yon get the pungent fumes of am-
menitt, discard the baking powder.
There are plenty of baking powders

Death of Mr. Pugh of Macon.
Mr. Jfts. A. Pugh, Ilia well known
photographer, of Macon, was found
dead in his bed in that city, on Sat
urday morniug last. He bad been up
and attending to his business on Fri
day, hut complained of a burning sen
sation in Jills chest. The Telegraph,
from which we gather these particu
lars, says that the physicians who in
vestigated the matter attributed his
death to congestion of the lungs anil
brain.
Mr, Pugh was a self-made man,
having risen from very moderate cir
cumstances in his boyhood and finally
qualified himself, and established a
well equipped aud flourishing photo
graphic establishmens in Maoon. It
is probable that few residents of that
place were better known to the people
of the region tributary to it or more
generally aud highly esteemed.
He never married, and therefore
leaves no family of his own, to mourn
his loss, and yet hie death will prob
ably be more generally regretted
than would be that of many who are
engaged in more extensive and im
portant business affairs. “Peace to
his ashes.”
A large number of friends attended
the funeral services of the deceased
at. the First Baptist Olmrch, Rev. K.
W. Warren, officiating, and accom
panied the remains to their place of
burial in Rosewood cemetery; the
pall-bearers, consisting of his old
friends, being among the best citizens
of Macon.
Tho body of Miss Booth, tho
16year-old diroghter of the afflicted
Booth family of Macon, was sent
to Milledgeville for burial Fri
day. On acoount of the compli
cation of infectious diseases of
which she died the railroad au
thorities refused to carry her re
mains, and the coffin was placed
in a wagon an ’

That editor don’t know a good thing
