■■UNION & RECORDER. Augusta Letter. Arm sta, Ga., April 22ml, 1887. Kl>ITOIt3 I'MON Recorder: Th*» First. Baptist Church was ,-rowded Inst Sunday to witness the Semiannual Exercises of the Baptist City Mission Board. Rev. Lansing Burrows, D. D., presided with his tis- wsl grace and dignity, and the choir, with Miss Oapen at tne organ, render- ’t>i several choice selections. MrB. Os- bern’g bird-like voice charmed the audience and added much to the sa c-redness of the hour and the success ■•f the occasion. The Bongs of Zion are always sweet, and oftentimes influ- «wice the heart for good, but when wafted o’er an audience in the inelo- • lious voice of some favorite einger, their power is simply irresistable. The Baptist choir is to be congratula ted in securing the services of Mrs. 'ttabern—one of the finest lady singers u» the South. The Secretary’s report was very encouraging, showing the <oo<l work done by the Board since <f* organization a little over two yK'tira ago. But the principal attrac- ’Isons were the sermon preached by M-ev. H. il. Tnuker, D. D., of Atlanta, the address delivered by Hon. .). <Black of Augusta. Dr. Tucker took “Missions” as his subject, using tile text “Beginning at Jerusalem,” i.r.vd preached therefrom one of the -TKKdeMt sermons ever delivered in Augusta. I)r. Tucker is undoubtedly >oe of the ablest divines in the coun- 'try, and is capable of filling any pul- vrit in the land. Our people do not fappreciate him as they should,- or they would not allow him to remain •At of tiie pulpit. But as the able -alitor of the iOhristian Index he is preaching weekly to thousands instead ‘-rtf hundreds, and doing perhaps more -C°od than lie could in a regular pas torate. It seems a pity howevor that toe spoken words, the audible elo quence of such a grand preacher should wot oftener be heard. Mr. Black’s sdkiress fairly electrified the congre- CAtion, and his eloquent appeal for wtennis to carry on the work of the ®<“wd resulted in a contribution of -Msceral hundred dollars. Several Presbyterians who were among the midiem-e contributed liberally in re- •*q.»onse to the call, which was highly Hrpreuiated by the officers and mem bers of tiie Mission Board. * have recently received the pro gram of exercises to be observed by the Georgia Teachers Association dur- »ng its approaching session at West Point in the early part of next month. 5?<»me parts are good, others indiffer ent. '1 here are in the State of Geor- <wi thousands of teachers, and yet not iM/ore than forty or fifty are to be found vt these annual gatherings. Why is rJiiist Some claim that it is indifference the part of the vast majority, but I mu not of that opinion. I believe that, as a rule, the teachers of Geor- jCitt are hungry for instruction in the .advanced methods of tiie profession ami would eagerly grasp at any op portunity that would afford improve— vsent in their work, but they do not Profit. enough in the sessions of ttoo Association to repay them for tiie loss of their time and tiie expense of -tb" journey. Whether correctly or tot. I cannot say but tiie impression vrv-vails that the association is run ay Book Agents and Theorists—es pecially the latter. 1 find on the pro gram for the next meeting tiie follow- iig subject; “Men die. Do They f-ive Again?” N’mv, what teacher wants to pay out thirty or forty dol- la.rs and travel hundreds of miles -imply to hear an essay read? The vutlior is a good man and an excel lent teacher but he has made a mis take In the selection of a subject to ^Alk to teachers upon. The Associa tion needs to be more practical. The President, or a committee, should be appointed, to select subjects for di*- -'-fission and assign them to different TVsaehers to prepare the opening pa- ;oers, and by no means allow a party ssleet iiis own subject. As they aow are conducted the meetings do not afford inducements enough for '.foe attendance of tiie very ones for whose sole benefit the Association ■xam organized. At an election for councilman to All tiie vacancy from tiie 4th Ward, ■ •-iused by the resignation of Mr. Francis (’ogin, Mr. Daniel Kerr was last Wednesday elected over his op ponent, Mr. Oscar Dorr, by an over whelming majority. When the Coun cil met yesterday to swear in Mr. Kerr, and that gentleman had taken >»? seat, another resignasion was read—this time from the First Ward— !Ui<l Mr. M. M. Bill severed his con nection with the Council Board. This -;tep ■is very much regretted by the :ounnunity nt large, as Mr. Hill xvas one of the most popular men that gathered around the Council lires. He was Chairman of the Houghton Institute Committee, and will be sad- y missed by tiie teachers and students of tiie Institute. He took a great in terest in this work, and would have shown gratifying results if he had ■continued longer at the head of the lommittee. It will be hard to And a man that will give the general satis faction as lias Hon. M. M. Hill. More vacancies have occurred under the present administration—by death and resignation—than ever before in the history of Augusta. Last evening a brilliant marriage ceremony took]place at the First Bap tist Church, in which Dr. Burrows united the lives of Mr. Ed. Barrett u,ml Miss Carrie Lou Walker. The church was most beautifully decora ted, and was packed witli a vast throng of people, showing the popu larity of the young couple. Mr. Barrett s the second son of Col. Thomas Bar rett, one of Augusta’s most prominent citizens. He is a young man of fine character, intelligent mind and hand some bearing. He is the Augusta •.orrespondent of tiie CharlcstonNews and Courier, and has won much no toriety by tiie fearlessness with which he attacks uien and measures. He has adopted journalism] as hisprofes- »cn, and it will not be long before ho 'wXI occupy a place in the front rank \ v \ Y of tiie same. Miss Walker is tiie youngest daughter of Mrs. John W. Walker, and has long held a high place in Augusta society. The happy couple have left for the North where they will enjoy their honey moon. Mr. Ed. Hatcher and Miss Annie Mills were also married last night on upper Broad 8t., at the resilience of the bride, by ltev. C. S. Lucas. Mr. Hatcher is one of the handsomest and bravest men on the Police force, and has won a thorough going, practical young lady as his wife. More to follow. This morning as the Principal of the Houghton Institute entered tiie Hall, preparatory to opening the school exercises, he was greeted with the sight of banks of fiowers, and ferns, covering the spacious Rostrum and hiding (the desk. His stand was a bank of roses and other beautiful fiowers, the offerings of the young ladies and little girls of the Institute. It was a beautiful sight, and sent a thrill of joy and gratitude through Ti his heart, for the esteem in which Tie is held by his scholars. In the after noon he returned the compliment by performing many interesting chemi cal experiments in the presence of ti the entire school. T see it stated that Hon. Chas. Z. McCord will deliver the annual ad dress before tiie M. G, M. & A. Col lege. Hi-is a splendid speaker, and you may expect a treat. Houghton. Anuual Convention of the Georgia Medical Association. The Medical Association of Georgia assembled in annual convention in the Senate Chamber Wednesday morning, and was called to order by Dr. T. O. Powell, the distinguished Superintendent of tiie State Lunatic Asylum, and President of the Associa tion. The exercises were begun with prayer by Rev. H. C. Morrison, pas tor of the First Methodist Church. The address of welcome was next extended to the Association in behalf of the Committee of Arrangements by Dr. J. F. Alexander, of Atlanta, who in a graceful manner assured the As sociation that they were most wel come to Atlanta, the capital of the State and therefore the rightful home of them all. This address was responded to by Dr. Eugene Foster, of Augusta, in a most happy vein. The program of the committee of arrangements was then read by Dr. Jas. A. Gray, Secretary. At 11 o’clock President T. O. Pow ell read aB his annual address, Ja high ly interesting and scientific address on “Heredity and Environments.” Dr. Powell dwelt particularly upon the fact that children of bad inheritance and environment should be allowed to marry only those particularly healthy and robust, as by marrying into families of like bad mothers their offspring xvere, as a rule, the ones xvho, if not deformed and crippled, made the citizens who filled our in sane asylums, penitentiaries anil alms houses. He also spoke at length upon tho moral as well ns physical training of children, by which the best citizens would be produced. His address was an able document and received the marked attention of the convention. —Atlanta correspondence Augusta Chronicle, 20th. The convention adjourned on Fri day, after an interesting session of three days, to meet in Rome on the third Wednesday in April, 1888. Dr. A. G. Whitehead, of Waynesboro, was elected president for the ensuing year. We note witli pleasure tiie fol lowing in the proceedings of the last day: Dr. T. S. Hopkins, of Thomnsville, introduced a resolution providing that the association recommend the Legislature to make a sufficient ap propriation to bore artesian wells at the lunatic asylum. The resolution was adopted and Dr. Paul Faver, Senator from the Twenty-seventh district, requested to bring it up in the Senate. LOCAL AND BUSINESS NOTICES. No flies at Pound’s meat house.

We call the special attention of our boys and young men who are fond of athletic sports to the account in this E aper of the injury recently sustained y young Mr. Woolfolk of Jones county, while indulging in similar sports. The fact is, we have had several very sad examples in Milledge- ville of the danger attending violent bodily efforts in the athletic amuse ments 'of which the young are natu rally so fond, but we do not wish to recall painful memories by calling ion. W names in this connection. We would however with the kindest regard for their welfare caution our young friends against endeavoring to per form feats which involvefextraordinn- rv demands on their muscular powers or which require violent contortions j of their bodies or strange anil unusu ally difficult feats unlike the;playful sports which are customary among the lively and active young men and boys of our day. We like to sec the young engage, to a reasonable extent, in all the games and other amuse ments xvhich give them healthful ex ercise and innocent amusement but painful incidents in the past teaoh us that in these things, as in all other matters in this life, a proper amount of prudence and caution are necessary to be observed.
