In a canter last week (on Bucepha

much pleasure that considerable im

provement to bo observed in the an
cient township as in any town or city
in Georgia, probably. Scottsboro
surely must have a Business Union.
The following remarks from the
Savannah News will do to read as
thoro is some good advice therein:
“Prohibition iu Atlanta perhaps has
not been the success the friends of the
measure hoped for and expected but
it has not been altogether a failure.
It is nonsenso to say that twenty-five
wine rooms can do as much harm as
one hundred saloons in which liquor
is openly sold. Besides the testimony
of unprejudiced citizens of Atlanta
is that closing the saloons has decreas
ed drinking greatly, has caused the
the loafer class to disappear and has
improved the condition of the labor
ing classes already. That prohibi
tion in Atlanta (as elsewhere proba
bly) is not a complete success is due
to two causes—A defect in the local
option law and the failure of the pro
hibitionists to follow up their victory
by boldly withstanding the attacks
subsequently made upon them. Do
mestic wine should never have been
exempted from the operations of the
law. That it was is a very great de
fect. The Prohibitionists after their
viotory ought not to have retired from
the held satisfied with what they had
accomplished. If pronibition in At
lanta (and elsewhere) is to be a great
successs, as it ought to be, the prohi
bitionists who have the power must
see to it that the wine rooms are tax
ed out of existence. They must also
maintain their organization and be
ready to fight their opponents when
ever occasion requires. It rests with
the Prohibitionists to enforce tbe law
and in doing this they should keep a
stout heart and yield nothing.” [Let
the good citizens of Baldwin .keep in
perpetual freshness their feality to
this grand cause!]
The following poem waa discovered
many years ago attached to a skeleton
i» the Royal College of Surgeons. It
will commend itself to intelligent
readers and find a place in their scrap
book, doubtless.
Behold this ruin! ’Twas a skull

This narrow cell was life’s retreat,
This space was thought's mysterious

With dreams of pleasure long forgot
Nor hope, nor joy, nor love, nor fear
Have left one trace of record here.

Death of Mr. Bun. Fowler.
On Inst Thursday, Jan. 27th, 1887,
Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Fowler of this
city, received a telegram from a gen
tleman in Savannah. to come at once,
for their son A. It. Fowler, was very
ill with pneumonia, following measles.
They reached him on tin* morning of
the 28tli, and lie died at 3 o’clock,
p. m., on the 2'Jtli. His remains were
brought to this city and buried in our
city cemetery, Sunday, tho 80th, at
4 o’clock, p.’ui. There was a large
attendance which his family appreci
ates highly. His many friends regret
his deatli very much and also sympa
thize with Ills sadly bereaved family.
A. B. Fowler was a good, clover, no
ble-hearted boy—he possessed win
ning ways—he made friends of all
liis acquaintances and wished every
person well, but last and best of
all, in his last hours, just a short time
before he died, he was able to tell
his mother in liis weakness, that lie
knew he must die and that he was
perfectly satisfied and willing to go,
lie felt that he could sail across the
River of Deatli and reach the “Happy
Golden Shore/’ in peace with liis
Maker. He was a single man, nearly
27 years of age and his occupation
was railroading. He departed this
life without a struggle.
The funeral took place from
residence of liis father, Rev. 1
Ivey, of Sandersville, officiating.
The pall bearers were Messrs. (
Bonner, W. F. Floyd, J. II. Lane,

To the Baptist Chukch at Mil-
LKDGKVILLK, GA:
Dear Brethren:—Doubtless you
will be surprised to read a letter of
this character, over my signature.
Nevertheless, I trust you will take it
all in the spirit it is intended, as my
pen is moved and actuated by the
purest and highest motives, and not
from presumption or egotism. To
the point. I am a Baptist! Why!
Because the book 1 have, lias point
ed out to me the general line taught
in their articles of faith. Then woe
is he that knoweth his duty and doeth
it not. Although 1 am a Baptist
from principle, 1 would not forget
that some of the best friends 1 have
are Pedo Baptists, in whom 1 have
every confidence, and around whom
are entwined the best qualities of my
nature, and should I be successful in
striking the mark of my aim, 1 ex
pect to be allowed to clasp hands
with them on the bright and celestial
shores of llie sweet bye and bye, and
tliere chant with them the sweet
anthems of praise, to Him who
breathed His life out on Calvary’s
rugged brow, for pool fallen man.
Well to business. You dear brthren,
are without a Shenhend. Do you
want one, and what kind of a one do
you want? One who is a zealous and
devout Christian, of sound doctrine,
capable of breaking the bread of life,
and feeding his flock impartially? One
who can preuch sound, logical ser
mons? One who is a practical busi
ness man? If this description suits
you, I think we have found the man
in the person of tho Rev. R. H. Jack-
son. What is his character: That
he started in this world poor,
and without an education, and has
acquired for himself an education,
and at the same time provided for his
family, and has in addition to that
accumulated a considerable amount
of this world’s goods. What do his
people think of him where best known?
His name ie a household word around
every fire-side. How do we know
this? They send him to tho legisla
ture and State Senate without oppo
sition. How does lie stand tliere? He
is in my judgment, on one of the most
important committees of the Senate,
which is a committee on Education,
of which lie is chairman. The intrin
sic value of such a man is unques
tioned. There are enough of you
who are aware of my intentions to
wards your church, to satisfy you
that my purpose is not of a selfish
character, but as I see it at this time,
it would lie for the best interest of the
Master’s cause at your place, if lie
could be induced to take charge of
your church. I am faithfully yours,
William R. Morris.
Tribute of Respect.
The committee appointed for the
purpose submitted the following re
port, which was unanimously adopted
by the Methodist Sunday School last
Sunday afternoon, 80th tilt:
In the wisdom of God, our Father,
onr dear scholar, Leila White, lias
been taken from among us. By her
death, we have lost a faithful pupil,
one worthy of example for her gentle
and unbounding Christian influence.
Our loss is her gain, and wo hope all
her companions will so emulate her
loving traits as, when life’s duties are
finished, to join her in Heaven.
Resolved, 1st, That wo lay our
hearts in love and sympathy olose
beside the bereaved family in the loss
of their dear one.
Resolved, 2nd, That we implore our
pitying Saviour to encompass all the
stricken ones in Ids arms or love; and
that our all grnelous God inny hold
them strong in His right hand, aud
send the promised graco that will en
able them to say “Not as I will but as
Thou wilt.”
Resolved, 3rd, That a page in our
Sunday School record lie inscribed to
her memory.
Resolved, 4tli, That a copy of those
resolutions be sent the mourning fam
ily; and also that they be published in
our city papers
