Dr. O Daniel was under the weather last week but is now in statu quo. Capt. C. P. Crawford honored the village with a pop call during the week. In a canter last week (on Bucepha lus) through our sister village on the South, Scottsboro, we observed with much pleasure that considerable im provements were being carried on tliero. In proportion to its size and population there was as much 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.

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, W. S. Vaughn, J. N. Leonard, E. B.

Ida’s Yillk, Baldwin Co., Ga.,> January 24tli, 1887. ) 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 Laura B. Edwards,) Alice E. Wright, -Committee.
