We are requested by the ex-cadets
who have arrangements in hand, to
say that all ex-cadets in the town and
county are expected to make tlie re
union a success, and that if any ex
cadet lias been overlooked, or lias not
received an invitation, he is request
ed to accept this as his invitation and
be on hand, for it is not their inten
tion to slight any.
A few days ago a mother going to
her son’s room found a pistol lying
on the bureau. She concluded that
was not a suitable place for it and
took it up and it was discharged, for
tunately doing no damage, she being
alone in the room. We merely men
tion the incident and will let the read- |
er do the commenting. Some would
say she knew nothing about handling
the weapon, and should have left it 1
alone. Others will say the young
man should not have left it there:
others that pistols are altogether too
couimon-und that there was no neces
sity for his owning one, Ac.. Ac.

found was in a perfeot state of preser

the well for nineteen days.

Ih\ 8. P. Richardson, preached a
MTinon at Athens at the close of the
Athens District conference, which inis
attracted considerable attention on
account of his attack oil Evangelists.
’Vc make an extract from his sermon,
as reported in the Athena Chronicle,
as follows:
“I know it is a very delicate ques
tion todeal with when wesay who shall
or who shall not preach. And yet there
is too much involved ln{the final issues
of human life, to be entirely silent on
this subject. There have always been
false teachers in tlie church, and un
fortunately for the cause of religion,
some women of our day, who nave
their deep-laid schemes and plans to
impose on the charity of tlie church,
and the ignorance of tlie masses, they
sell their birtli right for u mesa of pot
tage, and by a pretended love for the
poor, enlist often in their favoi* the
sympathies:M the- rich, and often in
crease their store from all parties.
Trit>y generally not only preach a free
gospel, hut a very cheap kind of sal
vation-more by faith, than by repent
ance and faith. It is an ominous
fact that the gospel tents and their
religious cheap gospel shows, seldom
if ever show in the mountains or in
tlie destitute poor neighborhoods
where the people are but poorly sup
plied with ministers and churches.
Tliis brings us home to Athens. As
a city’ perhaps there is none in the
Soutli better supplied with efficient,
educated ministers tliau this city;
and besides tlie regular pastors, there
are very many abie and efficient min
isters who have no regular work, but
are always ready to preach and help
whore they can ttnd an opening.
The vital question is do we liud in
these side religious shows any ne>y
gospel. Then fit. lVuIsay$i ; if ah an
gel from heaven preach atiy- other
gospel unto you than that we have
preached unto you, let him be ac
cursed. But it is claimed by tlie re
ligious commercial tramps .or travel
lers, that they are selling no new
goods. If they are preacbk'R no.new
gospel, then can they-preagji it better
than the endorsed, educated, cultiva
ted pastors can preach it,’, with a
corps of local preachers? •
It is argued that they reach a class
that the churches do not reach. Now
1 enter here my emphasized protest
against any caste in Christ’s gospel.
The man who plows or works in the
factory, or drives the engine, has the
same invitation to come to the great
supper that the most honorable and
rich have. There is not one gospel
and ministry for tho poor and anoth
er for the rich, and there is not one
gospel adapted to one class and an
other to another, no more than there
is one water, or light, or heatjadapted
to one class, and another to another.
Nor is there two ministerial calls—
one to preach to the poot, and an
other to the rich. “Go,preach the
gospel to every oreature, is the com
mand,” and’a minister who is incoui-
K t to preach t» the rich is also
petent to preaoh to the poor,
in Christ’s gospel the rich aud
the poor meet together, and the Lord
is tlie maker of them all.
When tlie church and ministry send
oil for tlie evangelist and side reli
gious shows, they depreciate their
own intelligence and virtually ignore
their own call to preach the gospel,
as they choose ugencies aud methods
used by others us more effective than
those they have. If these side issues
are more potent in the salvation of
tlie people than the regular ministry,
then abandon the ministry and adopt
whatever may come aloDg. 1 can say
without hesitation that I have never
seen any good, but much evil to tlie
church and the cause of Christ, from
all these side movements.”
The gospel is for the rich and poor
alike, and God’s house is the place
where they should meet together.
But the fact remains that a majority
do not attend church. As the church
es grow more fashionable the poor
are less inclined to attend. That good
people should desire to take the gos
pel to them is not strange. Tlie truth
of tlie Bible carries power with it,
whenever, wherever or by whomso
ever spoken. If it is not desirable
that tlie rich and poor should be sep
arated, what should be done that the
gospel should ho preached to them !

AiiRilstft Everting News.
General D. H. Hill, Fresident of tho I

tural College at Milledgevflle, whose |
interesting war articles in the Centu
ry have been widely rood, is the au-' Shields.
tlior of a book that has become an
“issue.” It seems that while he was
President of Davidson College, North
Carolina, he wrote an algebra. In
tending, no doubt, to counteract as
far as possible the misrepresentations
too often found in text books written
by Northern men, he incorporated
into his algebra a number of exam
ples not at all complimentary to tho
Yankee. For instance, on one page
he gave this:
“A Yankee mixes a certain number
of wooden nutmegs, which cost one
quarter of a cent apiece, with a quan
tity of real nutmegs worth 4. cents
apiece, and sells tho whole assortment
for #44, and gains #8.75 by the fraud.
How many wooden nutmegs were
there?”
The Chicago Tribune, savs tlie Sa
vannah News, which never lets am
opportunity pass tqrktir up freiudife'
against the South, makes tlie algebra
the text of a virtuous indignation
on account of what it is pleased to
term Gen. l-iili’s “diabaiioai" attempt
to stir up prejudice against the North.
It would have iieen better, perhaps,
if Gen. Hill had omitted from his al
gebra tlie example quoted and others
like it. No good is accomplished by
trying to prejudice the people of one
section of the country against those
of anotliei. But nevertheless, Gen.
Hlil’s attempt at retaliation on ac
count of the misrepresentations found
in text books prepared'by Northern
writers is not without excuse. Every
well informed Southern teacher
knows that the Northern text books
are full of misstatements respecting
■the South. This is especially true of
school histories of the United States,
and even when the injustice of such
reflections is madu apparent to the
authors, correction of the obnoxious
passages is refused. As an illustra
tion the following instance may be
cited: Some time ago a Georgia teach
er wrote to a well known literary man
of Boston, the author of a school his
tory of tlie United States, and called
his attention to certain uiistatements
concerning tlie (lonfederate armies.
Tlie Boston man admitted that ho
had misrepresented facts, but ho pos
itively refused to make any correc
tion.
It would have been better if the ob
jectionable problems had been left
out of General Hill’s algebra, but as
long as Northern text books inten
tionally misrepresent the South neith
er the Chicago Tribune nor any other
Northern paper lias good reason to
complain of them.

piece of beefsteak. Ursdnally the huir came
out #nd wss destroyed, until but a small patch
was left at the hack of the heun. Sly friends la
Peninety know how tuy little boy has suffered.
At night, he would scratch his head until his
pillow w.is covered with blood. 1 used to tie his
bunds behind him, end in many wsys tried to
prevent his scratching; but It was no use, he
would scratch. I took him to the hospital MO
to the best physicians in Peabody Without guc-
cess. A limit this time, sonic friends, who had
eencured by the Uctictha Rkmkiuks, prevailed
upon me to try them. 1 began to use them oa

particle of the disease was rcintived. Not a spot,
