Jeffie Summerliu went down
near Carrollton last Monday, and
attended a protragted meeting at

ports 21 accessions to the church
and the meeting still going on.
Rev, J. A. Perdue, of Carrollton,
and Rev. Mr. Ridgeway, of Kv,,
cenducted the meeting.
The editor o{this paper, togeth
er with Col. J."M. Mcßride, visited
Wacoville list Saturday. We
found the people of that little town
in very good spirits, The R. R. au
thorities of the G, P. R. R. have lo
cated a depot there, and we have
no doubt that Wacoville will soon
be a splendid little town. It is very
beautifully located, being on an el
evated ridge, which seems to be a
nice table land. Itis a very pretty
place for a town, and we think if
enterprising men will make a town
they will have one. The Messrs.
Jeters haye a dry goods store
there and we j“u‘dgc th,o_v dodo a
large amount of business. My, W,
|C. Shelnutt is the postmaster and
he seems to think Wacoville has a
bright futyre. Dr.T. M. Carroll is
now cerecting a splendid residence,
which will, when completed, be an
ornamenrt to any town. The body
of the house is builf of rock andis
very substantiglly built. We learn
‘that there are four new houses now
‘being erecked and others will soon
follow.
~ The people of Wacoville appre
ciate their county paper, and their
cfficient postmaster takes great
pleasure in drumming for subseri
bers. We think that Wacoville:
will soon he a nice railroad town.
Welearn there iza very good
schoel there, which we think is a
good step. towards .building up a
town—taught by Miss Shelnutt,
daagliter of Mr. W. (!, Shelnutt.
All the citizens arve Carrollites,
which makes us have so mueh faith
in the town building up.
We tip our hat and thank Mr,
G. W. Bryant {or some melons

; Memorium.
With an aching heart we record
the death of Mvd. N. A. Haerton,
whose gentle spirit passed heyond
the rustling flood of time o the
night of Aug. " 25th. When quite
yvoung Mrs. Horfon professed and
united with the Methodist church,
where she remained a true and con
sistent member until her death. In
July 1874 she gradyated at Bow
don college with the highest honor
and was afterwards connected with
the faculty several times where
she performed a faithful part in
instructing the youth of our land.
Her amiable disposition won the
esteem of all who knew her. She
never did gnything for mere show.
Her pure soul hootedat anything
of an impure character She liked
to please Ler friends and always
exerted her influence to ke
those arqund her happy; yet, it
was done in a marner of gimplici
ty that come only from pure and
noble wgmanhood. Sweet Mary is
no more. Herspirit has gone to
that land from whence no traveler
returns. We feel deep sorraw for
the young hushand andrelativesin
their bereavement. [ was onceigaer
pupil. She has often guided mywil
tful feet in the path of duty. I loved
my gentle teacher with all the fer
cy of my ehildish heart. Her sweet
counlsel will ever be a beacon light
to guide one to Heaven, severed
ties ot earth are maqre closely
bound together.
'Tis hard we know bid a fondand
loving wife a last farewell. —We
know no words of sympathy can
soothe the grief-stricken heart of
him who has lost the treasure of
his household. No act of kindness
can drive away that dark despair,
which has robhed life of its sweet-!
ness God only can “heal the bro
ken spirit and speak peace to the
troubled soul.” Sorrow must come
to every heart. It will only drive
us nearer the Cross. Our crown
will be the brignter for having tas
ted life’s bitter dross; the beanties
of our home bevond more resplen
dent, when we gre re-united with
our loved and lost of cartlhion the
banks of sweet deliverance,

Bowdon, Aug, 31st, 1884,
The Maddog. }
A mad dog came down the street,
To one side hung his head,
A crowd sat by the grocery daor
And all but one soon fled.
The groeery door was apen wide,
Not wide encugh for four,
Friend Fph was sitting on the box
By the lamp-post at the door.
e bad often said he did’nt believe
That dogs would ere go mad, =
Yet there was 'ammethin[%r abouf that dog
He said that looked light bad.
The dog came on at double quick,
Right by the grocery store.
And then a scramble did commence
Right on the grocery floor.
Brigham’s hat got badly mashed-
And S his ghoulder ;’o]ted.
The barber says ha ! ha!
Lest have thisdoor bolted.
Friend Eph he climbed the lamp post
That stood beside the wall,
And hung his chin right over the tap
To save him from a fall.
The dog passed on quite undistur hed
Friend Eph he did descend ; ;
Now boys, says he, if you believe m»,
I’'m bound this thing shall end.
I kill that do,g theugh it le wrong,
And I know it’s very sad ;
Yetis I don’t nobady won't
And then he might go niad.
Now boys, he says, you all stay here,
That dog 1 soon will stop;
When I'm through I know you’l! not
Refuse to take a drop.
And goon a deadly roar was heard
Which quite relieved our fears.
It wasg the sound of Ephram’s gun
A b»rmgmg up thve rear. ;
Eph retorned with vietor’s wreath
And mantle on his brow.
Says he that was & dangerous scrape
And P'm glad it’s settled now,
Says he, Bingham , *“Vixi, Vi, Vier”

How important, then, thatwe seek
good instruction which will put the mind,
in posgession of the knowledge of truth ;.
for verily there are x:r;mionus thoorics;
whieh lead to errove in practice. |
The mind is like this Si.mct of papcrl
upon which I wite. The tablet, the
brain is capable of I‘6l;(~i\'iilg improssions]
and is a like in the reception of truth
and error. The devélopment of the char
acter then depends upon impressions
made on the mind and heart, Much also
depends upon the Media through “'hic}n:
intelligence is conveyed, hence the ne-.
cessity for physical edueation. A sound!
body is more likely to contain a sound
brain tlie centre or some of the nervous.
system, and therefore more likely to he
free from eontaining influénces which is
likely to make false impressions, and
lead oné into darkness rather than light,
hence the admonition, “Take heed that
the Heht that is in thee be not darkness,
for if the light that is in thee bha dark-:
ness, how great is i}n;lt darkness.
Educatioy may prove detrimental 1
not wisely used, but as it has a refining
tendency when right by directed it is pro’
soundly important that we seek knowl-:
edge from a true snurce. The appliances!
for the dimension of literature through
out our country are varied, We have cor
rupting papers and books gnd our educa
tion isnot all obtained in the schoolroom..
It only begins there, |
We should be' discrete in the selection
of our education. Parsngs should endeay
or to store theit' minds with useful lore
and be ready to import lessons of erudi
tion to their ofispring. Where this is ut
terly impossible then they ought to use
sound discretion in the selection of
schools and school teachevs. |
An accomplished scholar will inspire
the student with asperations after ac
quirements which qualifics on¢ for the!
higher circles of society. These attain
ments lift one ont of the asperity char
acter, that is so common in the lower
walks, and gives tone and position, high
in the ranks of refinement 'qm'i elegance
and opens oppartynities for the aequisi
tion of still higher qualities and embel
lishments of the mind, thus ditting one
for the most :iffiuent standing in society
even among the nobility.” Ambition
should lead ug not merely to blandish®
ment and ghow to explosive brilliancy
which attratets admiration and applause
of the giddy and gay but to a thorough
acquaintance with the facts and events of
life that are embraced in intellectual en
dowment from any source whatever, The
cultivation of the mind is like taking a
rough aghler from the native rock and
pecking away on it until it is smoothly
pollished and fitted for the best place in
the most castly temples.
Deep down in the rubbish and dirt lies
the most costly gems, they must be
gought by digging and sifting, washing
and watching, sq we must use earnest
and vigilent offorts to kpock off the
rough corners of ignoranee and rupersti
tion and wade through adversity and
poverty if we woulld wma name and
place among the hrightest gems of earth ;
and, if we desire to be ctownel with a
crown of richest diadem let us not forget
that we must seck that wisdom that co
meth from above—sanetified knowledye.
IMow divinely beatiful is the christian
gcholar ! Education, be it remembered,
embraces not only breeding, which re.
lates to the manness and outward con
duet, but the establishment of the prin
ciples and regiations of the heart,
“Grace in woman gains the affections
sooner and secured them longer than a.
nything else.”’--WazLurr,
