The home and the church are the
proper places for moral and religious
training, not the State free schools.
These schools are for secular training,
to prepare for intelligent citizenship,
heroic manhood, and for life work
The State educates for its own sup
port ami protection, not for the fu
ture of innii or boy after death; not
to make Christians, Jews, or Mormons,
but to make good citizeus, noble pa
triots, ami wise men —Commercial
Gazette, Baltimore, Maryland.

this work must be rushed. If for any
reason you delay the enumerator you
may keep him from seeing other peo

Letter Prom Salt Springs.
LITHIA, Ga., June 4. 1890.
Ed. Union Recorder, Milledgeville,
Ga.:—Dkar Sin:—I would be glad if
you will have my paper forwaded to
this place from now till 1st Sept., at
which time I expect to return to Mill
edgeville. There is but little news in
this part of the State worthy of note.
Farmers here nil very busy. Crops
somewhat later than usual bnt look
ing remarkably well. The system of
preparation and cultivation here is
much more thorough than in Bald
win. Much of the land here is broken
with good double ploughs, while ev
ery good farmer lias at least one good
harrow of some improved pattern.
These harrows are run over all rough
lands both ways in order to pulver
ize the soil and put it in a good con
dition for plauting. The result is
when a crop of any kind is planted
here it may be considered half work
ed. The fanners here all use commer
cial fertilizers to a greater or less ex
tent. They are generally good crop
pers and often make a bale to the
acre.
There is some excitement at Austell,
which is only two miles from this
place, over the prospect of getting
Anthracite coal. A Northern Compa
ny has bought up the coal option for
lands all along the E. T. Road from
Austell to Powder Springs and will
commence boring in order to ascer
tain if there really be any Anthracite
coal. Should this kind of coal be
found they will sink a shaft at once
and go to work in good earnest. This
kind of coal, I am told, is generally
found from 400 to 800 feet below the
surface and the cost of sinking a shaft
that depth is estimated at from $75,-
000 to $150,000. It would seem then
that the cost of starting a coal busi*
ness even, is very considerable.
This place is destined, I think, to
become one of the most popular re
sorts for invalids and pleasure seekers
from North and South. The improve
ments are extensive and estimated to
have cost at least $200,000. There are
three hotels ranging in price from
$1.00 to $4.00 per day with baths of all
kinds extra. The waters are Baid to
be very fine, vast quantities from the
Lithia Spring is being shipped daily
to Southern cities.
The Chatauqua will, I think, open
about the middle of ths month which
will add greatly to the interest of visi
tors.
I had the pleasure of seeing your
highly esteemed minister, Rev. Mr.
White, last week at this place but
was sorry to find him in poor health.
He left here on Saturday for Indian
Springs. I sincerely hope ho will soon
regain his health and be able to re
sume charge of his important work in
Milledgeville.
With kind regards to inquiring
Mends. I remain yours truly,
Wm. Turner.
The Peabody Institute
For 1890 will be held at the Salt
Springs, near Atlanta, beginning July
1st,
The State Affair is under the im
mediate supervision of Hon. Jas. S.
Hook, State School Commissioner.
This is enough to assure its success.
COUNTY school commissioners in
VITED TO ATTEND.
I invite the County School Commis
sioners to be present on Wednesday
tile 9th day of the month. The high
est school authority lias decided that
the County Boards of Education may
allow the Commissioners their per
diem tor the few days of their atten
dance. 1 hope that every Commis
sioner in the State may cpme. Let
no one fail to be present. Let each
Commissioner bring this matter be
fore his Board for action at once. I
will add here, it may be well enough
for t lie Board to agree with such
teachers as may have their schools in
progress at the time that they may
take two weeks holiday and give two
weeks of schooling later, so as to till
out their term.
COLORED TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE.

Bonnets in the Air.
The following congratulatory tele
gram has been received by Nominee
Jones of Alabama:

A Haunted House.
This body of ours has been likened to a
tenement. It often has a haunted apartment
—the stomach. Scared by tbe eldrlch sprite,
dyspepsia, digestion flies and refuses to re
turn. What can break the spell what can
raise the ban laid upon the unhappy organs?
We answer unhesitatingly, Hostetter’s Stom
ach Bitters, and we are warranted In the re
sponse by the recorded testimony ol myriads,
covering a period of over a third of a century.
A course of the Bitters, begun In any stage of
the affliction, and persistently followed, will
terminate in cure positive, not partial. The
Bitters restores tone to the epigastric nerve,
renews and purifies tbe juices exuding from
the cellular tissue that act upon the food
digestively, expels bile from the stomach and
the blood, and promotes a regular habit of
body. Malaria, kidney complaint, nervous
ness, rheumatism and neuralgia give way to
this medicine.
Baldwin Co., Ga., June 7th, 90.
Messrs. Editors Union-Recorder:
Death lias been a frequent visitor in
our neighborhood for the past two
months. Mrs. Eliza Hughes departed
this life April 1st. She was the \vife
of that grand and noble old man
Sam’i H. Hughes. Aunt Hughes was a
wife, mother and neighbor in the true
sense of the word. She was a Chris
tian on earth and an angel in Heav
en; was a member of Bethel Church
for years, and well did she keep her
vows to her Maker and church. She
was 77 years of age and left two sons
and four daughters to mourn her loss.
May her children imitate her virtues
and meet their good mother. Since
her death, her oldest daughter, Mrs.
Camilla Woodall has passed over the
river to join her father and mother
in the courts of everlasting joy; she
nursed her afflicted mother for two
long years both day and night and n
better child never lived to her old
parents than Mrs. Camilla Woodall;
she loved them to the last and 1 have
no doubt but her close attention to
her mother hastened her death, for
she had been an invalid for a number
of years. She joined Bethel church
when she was a girl. She was fifty-
five years of age. How grand it is to
see grown children love their old worn
out parents, but such filial devotion
is seldom seen these days. 1 say it to
the shame of the present generation.
Y’oung men and women who neg
lect and think themselves above their
old parents will receive their reward
in their last days; show me a child
that is good and kind to old parents,
and I am not afraid to trust them for
anything, for God will lengthen their
days and lighten their burdens and
save them when they die.
Mrs. Martha G. Ward departed this
life June 4th. She was in her 77th
year. She has been a member of
Bethel church I think fifty years. She
was ready for the call and so express
ed herself often on her death bed.
What, a comfort it is to her children
and friends to know that she was wil
ling to give up tbis life of toil and sor
row and enter into an everlasting rest
with God. No one ever went under
Aunt Martha Ward’s roof but what
got the best she had; the writer has
been a frequent visitor to her house
all of his life, and it was always a
smile, and I am glad to see you, and
it was so with every one who went to
her liouge, and many there be liv
ing to-day that will ever remember
her hospitality. Peace to her ashes.
And one more word about good chil
dren to their parents; her son Zack
will never put a brighter jewel in his
crown than he did in his devotion to
his afflicted mother; he watched over
lier day and night for months, and
never seemed to tire. I have never
seen such devotion and love from son
to mother as Zack was to his dying
mother. God bless Zack he loved his
mother. No better epitaph will he
need.
Crop prospect never better than at
this time; but little grass in the crops
and plenty of rain up to this date.
Oat crop has not been so good owing
to the cold snap that killed them out
the first of March. The health of our
community at this time isgood except
Mrs. E. J. Humphries who is not en
joying good health at this time.
Mr. J. E. Humphries has gone to
the Indian Springs for his health, hope
he will he benefited by his trip and
find a good wife too. James is a good
boy every inch of him which is a good
many. Blackberry crop fine; children
happy and full of red bugs; wife well
pleased, plenty of chickens, and out
weighs her husband and seems to
want to boss; negroes all happy, big
meeting time has come with them;
Sunday school picnic at Bthel, 2nd
Saturday in this month. Come out
Mr. Editor and dine witii Bethel and
see brother Jones, S. S. Superinten
dent, marshal his host of children on
that day, for he has the best Sunday
school, I will venture to say, iu Geor
gia. Our pastor Rev. Ansley is doing
good work in our midst as God’s ser
vant and servant of the people, and
we, are looking for a great outpour
ing of the Holy Ghost at our church
this year. God bless Baldwin county
this year witli His grace and power.
Let every child of grace pray for the
conversion of all the people of our
own grand old county Baldwin.

Manager Gabbett and Chief Arthur
Come to Terms.
Savannah, Ga., June 5.—[Special
to Constitution.]—The differences be
tween the Central railroad engineers
and the management of the road over
a circular letter, containing twen
ty-one questions, appertaining to the
past records of the engineers, and ex
acting pledges from them, of which
one was to abstain from intoxicating
liquors while in the company’s ser
vice, und another, not only to keep
away from places where liquor is
sold, but to lend their influence to
keep others away, were settled at a
conference todav between Chief Ar
thur and the officers of tbe Central
railroad by the withdrawal of the cir
cular and the substitution of a new
contract, in the nature of a compro
mise. Tlie Brotherhood of Engineers
agrees to assist the road in keeping
incompetent men out of service, and
to furnish all information in its pos
session about any employe when call
ed on by the road.
