this was one of these special occasions,
in the estimation of Jotham Hardcastle.
The summer went by; the great maple
in front of Che Wiggieton mansion began
to glow aa if its leaves had been dipped in
blood and melted gold, the asters reared
their purple torches along the stone wall
by the cottage under the MU, and any
acute observer might have perceived
that Mr*. Palmleaf had laid down the
rocky bit of up MU ground in spring
wheat instead of winter rye.
“JothamT said Mr. Wiggleton to his
farm band one evening; it waa the first
time they had had a fire on the wide,
old f a«l> ioned hearth.
“WeBT
"I—have concluded it Unt best for you
to live here at the Louse any longer."
“ WhaZs goto' to happen?" said Jotham.
"You ain’t goin' to Mre another hand,

"No; to be sore not. You soft me ad

“You ought to get married, Jotham."

rapid and atubarrasasd manner.
"TbtaksoT
“Certainly. You might live ta the lit
tle botme beyond the peach orchard, it ‘
wouldn't take much to fit it nkwiy, now
that paint and paper ar* so cheap."
Jotham stared reflectively at the fir*.
"And your wif. cuuid tale car® of the

thing, for <a It taut likely Mr*. P -

OCOSKE STREET CHURCH.
At Oconee St. church Rev. H. M. Quil
lian preached on the subject of the “Resur
rection.” The church was well filled, and
for a &msidcrable length of time, he kept
the congregation enwrapt in attention by
his eloquent language. He stated out by
giving a description of the origin of Easter,
as follows:
Eister Sunday.—From the feast of the
Goddess Ostara. or Eastre, the personifica
tion of the morning, or the East, and of
the opening yt ar. The feast was cele
brated by the ancient 8 <xuns in the Spring,
and for it. the Fathers of the Church, as
they are called, substituted lhe Christian
festival. There were disputing* among the
people *• to the time to celebrate this fes
tival until about B*s A®l). Constantine
brought the qucatioD before the Council of
Nice when Easter was declared for the
whole Church to be always the first Sun
day after the full moon, which occurs ou>
or next after March list; and if the full
moon happen on Sunday, K- ater is to be
lhe Sunday following. &> Easter can never
come tetoce March *2..d and later than
April Jsth. One us the moat characteristic
and moat widely diffused Easter ntea is the
use of poach (posk) eggs. They are usu
ally stained, of vaiioua colors, with dye
woods or heiba, and people mutually
moke presents of them. The use of eggs
al th* season was do doubt originally

ATHENS IS THE PLACE.

Prof. Wm. H. Brewer, of Yale College,
was in lhe city today, and stopped at the
Commercial hoteL Prof. Brewer is the
Professor of Agriculture in the Yale col
lege, and is one of the Directors of the
Experiment Station of the State of Con
necticut!. Hearing that ne had been sent
by the United States Government to in
vestigate the work which is being done in
the various Experiment Stations South,
the reporter of the Chronicle called upon
him to gel bis opinion of our Station.
"What do you think of our Station 1”
“Well, you hive just gotten started, and
judging from wbat you have done in *o
short a time, I must say that I am highly
pleased with the Station. But I under**
stand lhe Stale wtabas to remove it from
Athena”
"Do you think it should be removed f”
“By no means. It would be a misfor
tune to the State if it is removed, for tl Is
no easy matter to start a new Station. Jhe
Station here ta a well equipped and you
have a good lalmratory and other advan
tages not poaaean-d by a uew Station.’’
"Doe* the Batch bill allow any change
from the College of Mechanical & Agricul*
tural Arts?"
“I am not here to answer point* of law,
and cannot say what would be dene in
case of removal, but I know that the spirit
of the Hatch bill was, that these stations
should be connected with the Colleges of
Mechanical A Agricultural Arts"
“Doe* not the Station derive a great deal
of benefit from being near this
“Certainly. There are many advantage*;
such aa librariea, laboratories, profeaaora,
etc The expenaro of the Station are not
near aa much, and much better work can
be done.”
"Do you not think the Athena viler a
good ooer
"I do not mean to say anything about
the oflor us any city, aa 1 do not know the
satire lot of circumatancae, but 1 will say
that Athens has offered wiial can be made
a good Station."
"Is a large farm necetoary to the Sta
tiool"
"Mo, air. Ttie Connecticutt Station was
tte flrxt Stall.* of Ito kind to be eatab
itahed, and I waa conutctod with it at that
nine, and am now one of its Directors.-
We have now only five acres of land, and
find that aufHcleat for our purpoero. And
with the sixty acres you have at Rock Ooh*
lege, I thins tl amply sufficient to cover all
peatble demands "
* What do you think the sUongeol argu
ment to be made here f
"That the atatton ta eatabltahed. It Is
no rosy and no ezpenaeleas thing to make
an Rxprnment station, aad the Ualcb bill
dwoHinl* nance* new etaiioua."

plceeare and vacation, and partly at the

Beggs’* I’hereb.
It was my good fortune te attend sen
vices at Boggs’s church yesterday. The
attraction was two fold—first to ride out
on a beautiful Spring day and see one of
our prettiest little suburban churches and
mingle with the clever and hospitable
members of the same; and secondly, to
hear that venerable and lovely man, Rev.
W. R Branham, sr., preach.
Mr. Branham is a member of the North
Georgia Conference, and baa been preach
ing the Gospel for fifty years. He is loved,
honored and respected by all who know
him. Having preached so long, hia ac*
quaintances are numerous and bis admirers
equally so He was Presiding Elder for
the Athena District several years ago, dus
ring which time, he made many friends in
Athena. As a natural conseqence, there*
fore, he bad a large congregation—a good
many from the city having gone out to
Jiear him preach.
He preached a clear and forcible sermon
from Romans xii. chapter, 1 and S verses.
The attention from the crowd was remaik
ably good, and no doubt good seed were
•own, which will bring forth much fruit in
years to coma The congregation waa
made up of several denomination*
By the way, Boggs’s church ta getting to
be a strong church, and as Athens moves
out in that direction, there is no reason
why it should not become an attractive
place to people living near IL
As you will remember, our clever towns*
man Mr. F. Pbinixy united with thia
church last year, and bta Influence for good
I* uot only fell with that immediate
church, but far and near. Mr. and Mrs S
M. Hunter and Mr. and Mrs. J. 8. King
have also moved their membership to thia
church. While the church in Athens is
unfortunate tn losing such valuable mem*
tiers, thi« church ta extremely fortunate in
•ecuring them.
The paator, Dr. E. B R «*, te very teste
<>ut in hia work, and hwi the admiration
and confidence of bto people.
Should any of your readers at any time
desire to leave their own churches for one
•ervice to worship God, it will be pleasure,
recreation and privilege all combined, to
run out to Boggs's church.

8 0 April *l.—Bishop
J.-ho P Nawmau, of Omaha, Neb., baa
written an open letter on the southern
question which I* attracting wide xprrad
attention here. The letter te addrraaed to th*
