Atlanta Capital: There seems to be |
a growing inclination on the part of
Georgia editors to puncture the!
Jones-Small religious bubble. Several '
have had a few uncomplimentary I
words to say about the evangelists, I
and now the Augusta News chimes in ;
with:
Sam Jones evidently has a poor
opinion of Rome. He thus pithily
expresses his sentiments: “There is
enough bell in the town to make an
other hell.” And Sam Small is only a
neck behind Sam Jones. In Rome
the other day, he said: “There are
men in Rome, Ga., to-day from the
city of Atlanta, whose souls, if drop
ped into hell, would create a moral
consternation.” Can t Georgia afford
a n “evangelist” whose stock in-trade
is something else than coarse lan
guage ?

father in Isreal, Rev. L. NV. Harrell.
Our brother was born in the year
1802 at. Curryton, S. C. When a young
man he moved to Georgia and settled
on the Savannah river. Ho united
with the Baptist Church at Double
Branches, Lincoln county, Ga., but in
what year wo do not know. At some
time about middle life, ho was ordain
ed to the ministry of the gospel. He
died in Augusta, March 28th, 1887, !
in eighty-fifth year of bis age. Bro
Harrell was an humble, consistent
Christian, mid a zealous, useful minis
ter, sound in the faith, to whose piety
nml worth we, ns a church, bear our
humble testimony. Ho leaves behind
n good name and a spotless reputa
tion.
We feel that we arc indeed bereav
ed, and would mingle our tears with
those of his mourning family.
Therefore be it
Resolved, Ist That, as a church, .

dispensation of our Heavenly Father. I

the heart of the artist glad. NVe
haven’t seen the pictures, but they .
have them all the same and if you
can beat this, Messrs Editors in the
way of vim, let us hear from you.
I learn from a private source,
I though a very reliable one,that friend
Bob who wrote the jerring little slur
in regard to the iron spring, is suffer
I ing witli very acute pains of the rheu

come! immediately to the iron spring
and be healed and walk henceforth,
not faithless, but believing.
Another word please, in reply to
that quaint and noted journalist
Dulcie in last Friday's issue; seeing
the manner in which the young man
was delided from Appling, while 'tis
one of my lending characteristics to
eschew controversy, I felt that to be
true to my fellow citizen I should re
; Hpoml as a matter of duty to his case,
but never knew until afterward that
' twos thrown at me. The statement,
lif Dulcie has reference to me, is
groundless as well as absurd. For us
she states the young man was animat
ed with pleasant, thoughts, and never
until he (Trove up to the gate of his

that nil was not ns lie had anticipated,
I, as for myself,carried the lady that I

me (Jetting left 1 did not. And just
hero,dear reader, let me lift from your
mind the delusion in which you may
have been lead an to the compliments.
1 From Dulcie's statement any one
I would draw the idea that they were
addressed to Dulcie, und sent bv me,
bid fur from it, and when I send her
my first compliments, then ’twill bo
I high time for her snorting. I too
think a word to the wise is suiliciout,

HOOVER HEARD I ROM.
HIS WIFE JOINS HIM IN MADJHON.
Madison, Gil, Muy 23. Hoover, tho
the agitator, landed in Madison on
tho up train from Augusta. He was
in n pitiable condition,with the wound
liis face all exposed. At first peo
ple were incensed when they learned
that such ii party wrs nt the hotel,
mid ho was advised to leave. By tho
live o'clock train ho was met by his
wife, who, Hieing his condition be
came very much affected, mid asked
that, ho be allowed to stay until in a
condition to travel. Gue or two,
whose sense of justice mid humanity
was greater than their indignation
insi: fed that it nni not right to drive
u htiinnn creature otl'in Hint condition,
no mutter what ho bud done elsewhere.
Then, then, too, was the softening in
fluence of a woman's tears, mid ho
was allow, d to go buck to tho Madi
son House. His wife n ked for a
pliysiciiin and Dr. Hollingsworth rc-
Hpomle I but said he could not tell the
extent of his injuries just yet.
At. dark there was quite u diversity
of opinion on t he. streets. One party
Hitid it was not right, to harbor for one
instant, such u black hearted incendi
ary, mid were in favor of his expulsion
from tho town. O.ie man declared
ho would be olio of six to go and
hang him, while another party de
nounced it uh cowardly to mistreat
anything in that condition. One or
Iwo volunteered to defend him frotn
personal attack.
Your correspondent interviewed
Meh. Hoover and learned somethings
that may be of interest. Mrs. Hoo
ver 1h ii womnn of intelligence, and
hid} dike manners, about thirty, and
not nl al) ugly. She says she was
born at Aiken, H. of good parent
age; her maiden mime was Htokmay.
She. fell in love with Hoover Home ten
yc.iiH ago, nml, without knowing any
thing of his antecedents married him
against her pnreitts’ wishes. They
linvo traveled nil over nil of the states
ncarlv, mid she has made most of the
money by w iling dress charts for
which she is agent. She says she has
imide enough to buy n nice little place

upset. She sayH she Inis done nil she
could to keep her huslmlid out of t is
orgiiiiizing lim-incHH among the negros
not. liccnuHc it is wrong, but because
the Southerners won't stand it.
She gave permission Io exapiine
