HO! FOB SOUTH GEOBOIA! Should be the cty instead of Florida, for tbe iminiRrant and invalid.

Our country invites the work¬ ingman to a home, cheap and easily cleared, with the rapidly increasing advantages of church and school privi¬ leges. Every kind of fruit and cereal can be raised in abundance. With no appieciable cold weather to contend agains', the hardy Northern or West¬ ern settler finds profitable employment here all the year round. The garden and truck farm have succession of crops throughout every season. Land aDd lumber are cheap and available, and to the invalid we offer what Florida can¬ not offer—immunity from contact with the damp, variable temperature of the Gulf, and the cold winds of the Atlan¬ tic. It ia a well attested feet that con¬ sumptives recover more rapidly iu Sooth Georgia than in Florida. Mala¬ ria ie unknown. Our oldest aattlers (‘to the manor born’’) know nothing of fever aud cuill, as a home produet. Sometimes we have a case, imported among us.

We esw old Uncle Billy Smith (an "old timer’’) the other ray, with bis lace marked iu splstches like he had been to an Irish wake, and he informed ns that ‘ that dog-gooed mule throwed him.” Bnt he saye that he is as good a* wheat yet, and can kill a bear, or Okeferokee tiger as “slick now ss ever.’’ Doctors cannot live by their practice alone in this country, it is too healthy. And an¬ other thing, oar folks are genuinely glad when a new neighbor ot the right kind comes in. Tbe corse of whisky has been lifted from out of nearly all onr Wiiegrnss counties.

Here is an example of an¬ other kind: Five lads boarding-school, were once gathered and in a room at a four of them engaged in a game of cards,which Vas expressly forbidden by the rules. One of the players was called out. The three said to the quiet lhd who was busy at something else,— ia “Come, take a hand with us. It too had to have the game broken up.” “I do not know one card from an¬ other.” “That makes no difference,” exclaim¬ ed the players. “We’ll show you. Come along.” Now that was a turning-point in that lad’s life. He nobly said,— “My father does not wish me to play cards, and I will settled not disobey him." and Thaf sentence the matter settled hiB position among his associ¬ ates. He was the boy who could say ‘ No,” and his victories were made easy and sure.

There is both science and common sense in the simple rule given below—which it cost a woman ten dollars not to know enough to practice herself, without ask- ing: respectable, elderly lady-patient A went to London to consult tbe very highest authority about her dyspepsia and its accompanying ailments. She waited very awful patiently for told her turn, her piti¬ en¬ tered the presence, ful story, put out her furred and creas¬ ed tongue. The doctor listened and said, “Um ! Ah! Yes, just so.” Then he looked profoundly, awfu ! ly wise. “Now, doctor, what shall I do?” I have tried everything, and nothing does me any good. Can you do any¬ thing to help me ?” “Yes, mad; am; you must eat slower.” She waited for her prescription, but the doctor did not write, and was evidently expecting her to go. He thought she might be hard of hearing, and sdoke louder, "Eat slower.” By an involuntary but slight move¬ ment of his right hand she saw there was nothing to do but pay the fee. The two guineas dropped, and she sadly left his office. Two guineas for two words! But they are worth the money. “Eat slower," is very wise and important counsel.

UNCLE NED’S COLUMN. -v- A Confederate Soldier’s Pranks, In the winter of 1864, a party 3<i soldiers obtained thirty days' furlou from the army of Northern Virgin l> and after getting breakfast, a bath, shave and transportation at. Richmond, took the train for home. Oj board the same train were soldierB belonging to a score of different commands. Among them was one, who seem’d to be tbe central figure in party of four, travel¬ ling North Georgiawards they *a ; d. He was the very embodiment of mischief. At a watering station, while the train waited, he commenced crying as if his heart would breuk, and when his three comrades gathered aronnd him and demanded to know wh >t ^as the mat¬ ter, he made no reply, but his grief became almost maniacal. At last one said, “Jack, tell us what is the mattefc, if any Goobergrabber, sandlapper, tar- heel or gopher thief on this train has dared to insult you, p’int him out and I’ll eat hie lights in two minutesl”“ Well, boys,” returned Jack, “Dobody bain't pestered me, for I’m a cat, lam; but I’ll trll you, as I sot here I seed somethir)' I couldn’t bear.’’ “What was it, Jack?’ ‘boys’ and here his sobs broke out afresh, “when I was about to leaveffiome, and my old mammy bad fixed me up a lent of things to bring off, she told me anil Sal (that’s my gal) to go into the yard with her. We went and she shower! me a Dominicker hen and nine chicken* and said that she was going to keep them till I come back home, if it wa forever, and then we would have ,i big dinner, and Sal (that’s my gall she said as bow she would jest feeu them chickens every day tell I goi back,’’ and now boys, some galoot he;, stole that old ben and tbe chicks for I seed ’em out thar.” “Well Jack,” said the other, “you shall have ’em back and carry ’em back to your mammy- Gome on boys!” and out of the car they sallied, and ran down aDd caughf the old hen and chickens for Jack, and. brooght them into (he car in triumph.

Excitement in a Tunnel. Railway passengers are ordered to keep all windows shut while passing through a tunnel. There are good reasons for this apart from the danger of thrusting out incautious heads. The, St. Louis Republican tells what trou¬ ble “Mrs. Murphy” made for herself and a car full of people: A middle-aged Irish lady, almost as broad as she was long, boarded an out¬ bound passenger train last evening with the intention of taking a trip to one of the numerous towns that lie beyond the American bottom. She took a seat, as was quite natural, and owing to her "largeness” she was allowed to occupy it alone. Just as the train was on the eve of entering the tunnel, Mrs. Murphy ob¬ tained a whiff of tunnel gas that had leaked into the car through a defetive ventilator directly over her head. As she had never breathed anything that reminded her of the gas before, she be¬ came greatly alarmed, and began to exclaim “Murther! frantically,— murther! I kiltl" am As the gas didn't take the hint and vanish immediately, she threw up one of the car windows, hoping by that stratagem to procure a coveted supply of freBh air. In a moment the car filled with smoke and gas and came very near of smothering couldn’t understand every person where in the it. smoke She came from, and cried,— “Fire! fire! murther! we’re all kilt! Help! By Dou’t let me burn up!" this time the passengers were coughing each spasmodically they rushed and tumbling over other as to the car doors in a most ludicrous manner. The car doors were locked, and they found themselves in a helpless condi¬ tion. The old lady fainted, while other passengers madness. cried By the for time help they and acted reached like the end of the tunnel they were exhaus¬ ted and almost suffocated. The old lady recovered and told the coaducter that she thought she was “kilt,” adding that she would never travel works through an anything. underground gas¬ again, not for Frank Finnegan has beon arrested io New York at the instance of bis sis¬ ters, whom he robbed aud threatened to b’U.

Od Sunday afttmoon, October 28tb, 1883, tbe Sunday school workers of Glynn county assembled at the Meth¬ odist Church in Brunswick, and after the opening services of soripture read¬ ing by Rev. E. J. Bentoo, of Homer¬ ville, Ga., and prayer by Rev. T. C. Johnson, of Brunswick, followed by a beautiful “Service of Sour," conducted by Miss Mary Penniman, the workers aud scholars present proceeded to the business of the occasion. Rev E J.Ben- ton, explained tbe objects sought to be accomplished by tbe International Sun¬ day School Association, and enforced the necessity of prompt organization of the varions counties of the Waycross district. On motion, the following gentlemen were elected officers of Glynn County Sunday School Association, for the en¬ suing year: Rev. I. W. Waddell, President. Mr. E. J. Harvey, Vice President. Mr. A. T. Chapman, Secretary and Treasurer. The Constitution of Clinch County Sunday School Association, as publish¬ ed in the Wiregrass Oi-acier of 27tli inst. was offered, and a committee of five members appointed by tbe President withdrew, and after consultation re- turned and reported in favor of said constitution. The convection adopted it, subject to such modificitiou as may be deemed n»ce«eary by the committee od Constitution. The Secretary an¬ nounced that all wbo w.at ed to join the association bereatp-r might do so at aDy timp, by giving in their naroee to either of tbe Sunday School Super¬ intendents of schools participating, or to himself. The children took an ac¬ tive part in ail the proceedings and seemed to enjoy it. The music for the occasion was splendidly ren¬ dered by Miss Mary Penniman, assis¬ ted in einging by many of Brunswick’s fair daughters. belonging Thus one more county to the “Wiregraes District” hka wheeled into the ranks of the organized, and judging from tbe personnel ol tbe an- dieDCe present, we look for GOOD wOBX, and plenty of IT, from Glynn county Sunday School Association. Brooks County Sunday School Association. A meeting was called at the Metbo- pist church in this place on last Wari¬ ness at H o’clock, a. m., according to announcement in the last issue of the Free Free?. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. W. R. Talley. On motion, the former organization of “Brooks County Sunday School Af- sociation” was confirmed; Rev. J. W. Dorangos, President; S. E. Ives, Vice President; J. D. Wade, jr., Secretary; S. M Griffin, Treasurer. The Secretary being aheent, on mo¬ tion of S. E. lvee, W. L. Joiner was elected Secretary pro tern. After sev¬ eral short speeches on the importance of united Christian effort in Sabbath school work, two delegates were elect- ted to represent the association in the grand Sunday school jubilee, to he held at Homerville, Ga., November the 15th, viz; C. H. Williams and S. A. Griffin. The delegate* were empowered to ap¬ point their own alternates, iD case they should fail to attend in person. On motion the President was request¬ ed to appoint a committee of ladies to take in band the matter of selecting and arranging a Sunday school banner for the AsBociatiou, tbe expenses of the seme—as all other funds for the association—to be raised by voluntary contribution. All persons wbo will contribute to this purpose are request¬ ed to turn over their contributions to S. M. Griffin, Treasurer, taking his re¬ ceipt for the same. The association decided that it is not necessary for each school to carry a banner to the jubilee—that ooe for the association representing the county is sufficient, and that e^ch school should select its own badge. There being no farther business the meeting adjourned with a benediction. J. W. Domingos, Pres’t. W. L. Joiner, Sec. pro tern. Baptists iu Council.

Dear Brethren: At the 10th an¬ nual convention of the Georgia State Sunday School Association, held at Augusta, in May last, the State was divided into tweury-six Sunday school districts. Your counties were added to the 1st, or “Waycroes Diatrict." It ia very important for the purpose of be¬ ing in a condition for thorough work, that every county not yet organized, * be organized at once. Organization ia the key to euccesa. The Georgia State Sunday School Association, has for its object tbe cal bringing Sunday together school ol all tbe Evangeli¬ workers of tbe State, irrespective of denominational lines, upon a oommoD platform of Christian love aod fellowship; to discuss methods and plane for tbe more effectual teach¬ ing of tbe truth, and the promotion, by all means possible, of fraternity. No tenets or doctrines tanght by any churcb connected with the movement is aBsailed or mentioned—bntall strive for “the best gilts’’ whereby they may gain the children for tbe Master. It ia time for ne all to be np and doing. The constitution of tbs Waycroa, Sunday School District Association makes it the duty of the President of the Association to attend to the organ¬ ization, of new counties, and the per¬ fecting, reviving, and strengthening of organizations already organized; Now, brethren, a word as to myself. I have no salary or perquisite^. I am wojk-_. ing for the good of the children, for tbe Bake of Him wbo said, “Suffer lit¬ tle children to come untome.” There will be no request made for mcmey; we want your children for Christ. I have been thus particular in explaining mat¬ tes that no misapprehension may aiise. MOW TO BUSINESS. Providence permitting, I will be at the following named places at the times specified, for tbe purpose of assisting tbe Sunday school workers in tbe or- ganizition of a “County Sunday School A^socatioD,” and hope that every man and woman in tbe respective counties wbo loves tbe Lord Jesus Christ in ainoerity, For Appling will be present to aid Baxley, us. county, at Third Saturday and Sunday in Novem¬ ber next.

For Berrien county, at Alapaha, on Second Saturday and Sunday in De¬ cember next. I would be glad to bear from any of the Sunday school workers of the counties named, and hope that the Sunday school workers of adjoining organized join counties will feel impelled to os in the work at those ap¬ pointments.
