Senator Dayid B. Hill says of President Cleve
land’s message of Monday last: “The message
■tales the situation very accurately. Permanent
as well as temporary relief should be granted at
once. I trust that there is good sense and patri
otism euough iu the present congress not to
refuse consideration of this subject. The busi
ness interests of the coumry desire immediate
actios, and the democraJc parly cannot afford to
antagonize that sentiment.” How much broader

State School Commissioner Glenn proposesan

day, Savannah a day, Augusta a day, and so on.
He would have prizes ottered in order to stimu*
late scholars and teachers io their nest efforts.
The scheme iu execution would be pleasing ami
instructive, to older heads as well as to the chil

The people of Spalding county are intensely

It is funny about Congressman Bland’s com
mit. ee of coinage, weights and measures. Chair
man Bland has sprung so many free silver
schemes on the committee that he now finds it
impossible to get a quorum together without
giving hit written assurance that he will not
bring another coinage bill. It is said that when
ever he gives notice of a meeting the members
hide in cloakrooms and corridors until they
have sent him a note asking what the meeting is
mr and declaring that they will not set foot in
the committee room if a free si l ver coinage bill
is to be considered. If his reply is satisfactory
ihe members come out of their hiding and at
>end the meeting; if it is not they sneak out and
cake a train for Baltimoie oijsomewhere else.

It is entirely creditable to President Cleveland
that he has made another effort to induce con
gress to do its duty. He has pointed out even
more clearly than he did iu his December mes
sage the dangers that threaten the government
and the people and with great earnestness ap
peals to congress to take such action as its wis
dom may suggest; "Do something to relieve the
country.” is the burden of the president’s mes
sage. He calls upon congress to look the situa
tion squarely in the face and to permit neither
laetious in the democratic party, nor the desire
on tiie part of the republicans to damage a dem
ocratic administration, to prevent the perform
ance of a dmy to the government and all the
people The patriotism that breathes through
the message must command the respeeteven of
those who do not agree with the president’s well
unown views as to the proper plan of relief. At
the conclusion of the message he shows that he
stands ready to do his part in the present emer
gency even if something different from w hat he
has recommended should be embodied in an act
of congress. He says: "I cannot, however, re
frain from adding to an assurance of much anxi"
eiy to co-operate with the present congress in
any reasonable measure of relief, an expression
of my determination to leave nothing undone
w hich furnishes a hope for improving the situa
tion or checking suspicion of our disinclination
or disability to meet with the strictest honor
every national obligation " The president has
done bis duly. What will congress do? —Atlanta

There is an old saw that “great minds
run in the same channel,” which seems
to be verified by most of The Argus cor
respondents, and the three “church note”
writers commenting on the inclemency
of the weather in the beginning of their
respective articles. Consequently, we
will trust to their inimitable powers of
observation to remind The Argus readers
that it rained last Friday, and that it
tried to snow Sunday night, etc. —Owing
to the inclem—er—the darkness of the
weather last Friday night, the East Dal
ton singing class postponed their meeting
till the next Friday evening—Miss Mag
gie Wrae has been spending a few days
this week with Mrs Colwell, who is iR
her father’s, Col. Obar’s. —Misses Anna
Long and Lizzie Cannon spent the after
noon with Miss “Jimmie” Hill Fri
day.—Little Annie Bailey says she has
the most knowledgable pet imaginable.
When asked what it was, she said: “It is
a little tee ninecy pig.”—There was quite
a lot of cotton marketed from this section
the past week, fifteen bales going in one
day. This, with the numerous wood,
hay and produce haulers, mak es our
thoroughfare assume quite a metropoli
tan aspect.—The,bright sunshiny w eat *>er
is rapidly “squeezing the juice out of
the mud,” and soon our eyes will
be feasted on the beautiful specta
cle of “dust flying in the air.” —
\\ bile listening to a conversation, we
were reminded how prone human nature
is to censure and laugh at those charac
istics in others which we possess our
selves, though perhaps in a different
way. Ihe subject of superstition was
being discussed, and the “rabbit foot,”
horse shoe, No. 13, screech owls, moon
signs and so on were all laughed at in
their turns, but ere the parties separated
and after* they bad forgotten the subject
which had previously caused so much
merriment, the subject of death was
bi ought up, and the one who had langhed
the hardest and pooh, poohed the loud
est, said there was a sure wav to ascer
tain whether the husband would outlive
the wife or the wife the husband, by
writing their names in full and then run
nmg over the letters—Adam and Eve.
We could not help being amused at this
“sure ’nough,” sign, not superstition (?).

W ith the welcome sunshine and brisk
morning air, came many children to our
•Sunday school last Sunday. Our lesson
was “The Great Confession,” Matt, xvi,
13-23. Jesus, byway of introducing the
teaching which He intends giving His
disciples, asks, “Whom do men say that
I the Son of Man, am?” Christ knew
what the people thought of him ; knew
that they did not realize that He was the
Messiah ; and knew also, what His dis
ciples thought of him, yet He desired
them to confess him before the world,
just as He would have every follower of
His confess him now. What wonder
that He was pleased, when in answer to
His second question, “But whom sav ye
that I am?” Peter replied : “Thou art the
Christ, the Bon of the living God !” So
grand an utterance could not come from
his lips without the divine revelation of
a God! In confessing Christ, Peter re
ceives a blessing, the joy of which no
soul can taste, save those who have done
likewise.
The delight of Christ is shown in his
reply. Matt, xvi, 17-18. The name,
Peter, which Christ had given him.
means a rock ; so it was the rock like
faith and inspired confession which
Peter made, which is the foundation of
the church. And that church is the
whole body of believers whose souls have
been washed in the precious blood of
Jesus
Peter was taught by heavenly inspi
ration, and in teaching others the gr ind
truths of the gospel, he would receive ihe
Sanction of the All wise Father. Peter’s
wrong notions led him to the presump
tion of rebuking Christ, when lie spo e
of his death and resurrection. Often
times, Christians allow themselves to
commit the same error, by yielding to
their own inclination, rather than to
God s holy Word. Sometimes, we think
to help God’s purposes along iu our way
instead of yielding ourselves entirely to
is will letting him use us as seemeth
best to Him.
