A SHOUT SERMON.
BT ALICE CIKL
Children, who read ray lay,
This much I have to say:
Kach day, and every day.
Do what is right—
Right things in great and small;
I hen, though the sky should fall,
Sun, moon, and stars, and all,
You shall have light.
This further would I say:
Do you, tempted as you may,
Each day, and every day,
Speak what is true—
True things in great and small,
Sun, moon, stars, and all.
Heaven would show through.
Figs, as you see and know,
Do not out of thistles grow;
And though the blossoms blow
While on the tree.
Grapes never, never yet
On the limbs of thorns were set;
So, if you a good would get,
Good you must be.
Rife's Journey through and through.
Speaking what is just and true,
Doing what is rigtit to do
Unto one auu all,
When you work, and when you play,
Each day, and every day;
Then peace shall gild your way,
Though the sky should fall.
(ORINNE’S MISTAKE.
Three merry girls entered the cars at the
terminus of a city road. They were bright
eyed, intelligent, and full of fun.
“ Oh, Ido hope,” said Anne Welsh, ar
ranging her skirts and her books comforta
bly, “ we shan’t have a single passenger
from here to Haight street. I just want to
talk and laugh, and act exactly as 1 please,
without the presence of a critical fourth.”
“ Unless it should happen to be a very
nice young gentleman,” laughingly supple
mented Corinne Baker.
“Anything but that,” said the first speak
er, with a grimace, adjusting veil and curls,
however. “lam brimful of mischief, and
in such case I know I should do something
detestable.”
“ I do hope we shall be alone, though,”
said little Lottie Hearing, the youngest ut lie
three, as she placed her books on the cush
ion at her side, “ It’s such tun to have the
car all to one's self, or selves.”
“ I’m afraid the fun must go by the board,
then,” exclaimed Anne, “ for I see the fun
niest, plainest, homeliest old woman coining
right straight this way. O, misery ! she will
spoil every thing.”
“ And, look at that antiquated hand bag
—a century old, at the very least,” Cori. ne
cried. “ Hid you ever see such a relic of
Noah’s ark! And how ridiculously she is
dressed I I’m not sire but we can have on.
fun after all.”
Meantime, bowed down by some infirmity,
dusty with a day’s ride, aud really antiquated
in garb and manner, the old lady drew nearer,
nearer to the car. When she had gained it,
her face brightened visibly at the sight of the
fresh young girls, and in the kindness of her
heart she nodded, as much as to say, “ My
dears, you are all strangers to me, but I am
very glad to see you.”
They did not, however, return the nod ;
but one by one they smiled, looked in each
other’s faces, and at last tittered audibly.
The poor old woman seemed shocked at this
incivility, and drew herself as far from their
vicinity as possible, while she turned her
keen eyes, that almost disproved her years,
so large and black they were, from their
faces to other objects outside. Suddenly
Corinne, possessed, as she had said before,
with the spirit of mischief, took up one of
her school-books, and with a wink aside at
Anne, began to read in a low tone —
“ She was the scrawniest, weirdest-looking
object, with a wart on the bridge of her nose,
and a crinkle cratikle bonnet of an uncertain
age, like its owner. All she needed was a
broomstick and a black cat to make a verita
ble witch.”
Here the mirth of the thoughtless girls be
came so audible that the reader was forced
to put some restraint upon her fun-loving
proclivities, and lay the book aside.
“Here’s Haight street,” said Anne. “Cos
rinne, I never thought to tell you, Uncle Hal
brought us two Spitz dogs yesterday, white as
wool, and as cunning as they can be. Come
home with me and see them. It won't take
five minutes more, and, perhaps, I will give
you one of them.”
“ But mamma expects company, and —•”
“O, bother ! I tell you it won’t take five
minutes longer. Come, there’s a darling?”
and the old lady sat looking after them, as
the girls tripped away in high spirits, a sad
expression on her care-worn face.
“ Corinne!” she murmured. “ I thought
1 knew the face. I hope it was only thought
lessness,” she added, and her lips trembled.
“ But, perhaps, I looked for too much from
Corry’s child. And young folks cannot be
expected to enter into the feelings of the
aged. But it is hard to be so disappointed”
—and she shook her head dejectedly.
Meantime Corinne had seen aud admired
the dogs, aud the girls were about parting.
“ Come over to the house soon.” said Co
rinne to Anne, as they stood upon the steps.
“ I want to introduce you to one of the grand
est old ladies—my mother's aunt, i have
never seen her myself, but I know 1 shall
love her, for she saved mamma’s life, at the
risk ot her own. Mamma has often told me
about it —how that she was in the third story
of a burning house, and when the strongest
men drew back, this aunt, then an invalid,
ran through the flames with wet blankets,
and dragged her out of a horrible doom. She
was fearfully burned, and sick for years af
terward from the effect of her exertions ;
and mamma thinks all the world of Aunt
Eunice. So do I. By the way, it was mean
oi us to make fun of that old lady. What
possessed us?”
“ I couldn’t help it,” said Anne,laughing,
“ though I knew it was wrong.”
And the friends made their adieus, and
parted.
“ Has she come, mamma?” cried Corinne,
flushed and breathless from rapid walking.
“ Yes, dear,” said her mother, smiling,
“ but she was so tired I persuaded her to lie
down, so you won't see her till dinner time.”
Dinner-time came, and with it Aunt Eu
nice—a little, brisk old lady in a satin dress,
with a wart on the bridge of her nose. No
wonder Corinne turned pale and sick at
heart, as her mother introduced her, with a
loving smile. Not but that she understood
that low and gentle, “ Never mind, my dear,’
which reached her eats alone, as the old lady
kissed her and pressed her hand.
Never before had she felt so humiliated ;
and now that Aunt Eunice had cleared away
all traces of the dust and fatigue of the jour
ney, she saw how noble aud sweet was the
face, spite of the disfiguring wart, and how
really grand was the spirit that illumined it,
and that led her to say, in manner at least,
that all was forgiven and would be forgotten.
Corinne has never failed, from that day to
this, to treat old age with respect, no matter
whether she meets it clad in purple and tine
linen, or in the garb of poverty and misery.
One lesson was enough for a lifetime ; one
recognition of the beauty of Christian for
bearance under great provocation sufficed.

May I be one of the weakest, provided
only, in my weakness, that immortal and
better vigor be put forth with greater effect;
provided only, in my darkness, the light of
the divine countenance does but the more
brightly shine, for then I shall at once be
the weakest and the most mighty, shall be
at once blind and of the most piercing sight.

SUCCESSFUL FARMING.
The first aim and purpose of every busi
ness man, whether he is a farmer or a mer
chant, is to make money. There may be,
of course, other motives connected with this,
but undoubtedly the leading object and in
centive to action is money. This may seem
like taking a low or sordid view of the sub
ject, but if rightly considered, it is not. The
law of our nature that impels every man to
make his business a source of gain, is un
questionably round and wise, and all that, re
mains for us is to regulate our conduct in
harmony with that law.
The man who pursues farming for any
other purpose than to make it pay. is simp
ly an exception to a general rule, and his
success or failure is of little consequence to
the wor’d. But the intelligent farmer who
perceives that under all the doubts and diffi
culties of his vocation, there still remains a
clear margin of profit, who steadily works
out his conviction to a tangible result, and
the conqueror’s final success, proves his
good sense as well as his capacity, and by de
veloping the possibilities of his business
sheds light upon it that gives anew value,
not only to I is own farm, but, to every farm
in the country.
The world never grudges to such a man
the honest fruits of his labor, for his exam
ple is a public heritage beyond price. He
shows that the occupation which feeds the
human race is able to renumerate those who
engage in it ; that the successful farmer,
while gradually accumulating an honorable
independence, is helping to reduc° the price
of bread to the hungry. And this, be it ob
served, is not a mere abstraction, but a great
agricultural fact.
The farmer, for exatnble, who succeeds in
getting a large yield of corn, from an acre,
and at a lower cost per bu hel than ever be
fore, thereby contributes to diminish the
market price, as well as to increase the
abundance not only of this cereal, hut of
nearly all the products of husbandry. If be
lias been accustomed to get thirty bushels of
corn from an acre, at a cost of fifty cents per
bushel, which has been the experience of
many farmers, and if by per-istent effort, he
works out a method that gives six'y bushels
at forty cents, which has also been the ex
perience of some, then his net profit, on a
market price of seventy cents per bushel, is
IKK) per cent, greater than before. But thii
is not. all. A savi-g in the cost of corn in
dicates a eorrespo: dr g reduction ill the cost
of beef and pork, of mutton and wool, of
milk, butter and cheese, poultry and eggs.
THE MOTH.
This little insect, so destructive in our
households, is known to naturalists by the
name of tinea, and belongs to the family of
th e levidoptera, or scaly-winged instcls, of
which it is the smallest, the most beautiful,
and the most destructive. It is second
cousin to the canker worm, the apple-worm,
and the turpentine moth, but among its
aristocratic and honorable relations is the
silk worm. The immediate family relatives
of the common moth are the bee moth, the
carpet moth, the hair moth, the grain moth,
and the pack moth. As soon as the egg laid
by the mother moth is hatched, straightway
the tiny worm proceeding from it begins to
feed upon the fabric to which it is fastened,
and spins itself a cocoon, in which it moves
freely and unseen, and from which it
emerges in due time a butterfly. In May or
June these winged insects deposit their eggs.
Before this time everything they can harm
should be placed beyond their reach. Before
putting away fur and woolen goods they
should be thoroughly beaten to dislodge any
eggs that may have been deposited on them,
and exposed to the sun and air for hours.
It is said that brushing over their retreats
with turpentine will dislodge them ; that
camphor, black pepper, tobacco, shavings of
Russia leather, will disgust them ; that cam
phor wool and cedar trunks are free from
their visitations ; and that corrosive suhli
mate washings, sulphur fumigations, and
the action of heat and steam will destroy
them. Prevention is the best cure. If furs
and woolens are carefully sealed up in paper
cases, or put away in chests and trunks
which the moth fly cannot penetrate, they
are safe. Fabrics already attacked by them
should be beaten and sunned repeatedly,
and the ravages will be checked. This little
insect love darkness, and hides its evil do
ings from the light of day. To keep it from
plush furniture, twice a year, on a bright
sunny day, take the furniture out of doors,
remove the bottoms from the chairs if they
can be removed, and give the cushions a
good switching with long, pliable switches,
till the dust is removed. Then brush them
thoroughly. While the cushions are being
sunned, give the frames a coat of varnish.
Bet the furniture remain in the sun nearly
all day.
MAKE MORE MANURE.
The Belgians have a saying that manure
is the good of the farm—meaning that it is
the potentate which gives lifp, direction, and
energy to the whole industrial machinery.—
I believe that, in theory, it is universally ac
knowledged that manure is absolutely essen
tial to continued successful cropping. It
must be confessed, however, that practice
and preaching with some farmers are not al
ways in a proper state of equilibrio.
Money making through the manure pile
necessitates a good deal of manual labor,
hence has few attractions, and has never be
come popular. Only a few plodding broad
brims have the patience to push it to suc
cess.
But, to use a vulgar expression, we must
eome to it! Farmers must give more atten
tion to their manure heaps, and they must
contrive to have bigger ones than they com
monly do, or they will never accomplish
much in the way of recuperating their worn
out farms. It will not do io rely so much
on commercial fertilizers. They are excel
lent in their place—that is, on soils abound
ing with vegetable matter, but on land de
void of humus, their use stimulates to ut
ter destruction.
Farmers make a great ado over the high
price of fertilizers, and doubtless often with
justice, but I believe it would be better for
them if the price was two or three times
higher. They would then, of sheer necessi
ty, increase the supply of home made ma
nures, which, after all, is the main stay of
the farm. The manure pile, made up of
matter to be gathered on the farm is the
crude material out of which the skillful, in
dustrious farmer manufactures his crops,
and at the same time his greenbacks. Make
more manure upon the farm, and through it
the good things of life to keep and give
away.—Central Presbyterian.
Nails in Fruit Trees. —Nails driven into
fruit trees, as near the ground as possible,
are said to have the effect of making sut h
trees more healthy, vigorous and excellent
than those into which no nails have been
driven. The reason why nails are so bene
ficial is thus explained: The reason why
the worm will not attack the tree is because
the oxidation or rusting of the iron by the
sap evolves ammonia, which, as the sap
rises, will of course, impregnate every part
of the foliage, and prove too drastic a dose
for the delicate palates of intruding insects.
The salt of iron afforded by nails is extreme
ly offensive to the worms, while it is not
only harmless but beneficial to the foliage
aud fruit of the tree.
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.
©tofoarg.
Maria Gray Rivers, daughter of Dr. W.
B. Rivers, and the subject of this brief me
moir, was born August 22, 1862, and died
at the home of her parents in Oxford, Ga.,
June 30, 1876—having not yet completed
her fourteenth year.
From her earliest years this interesting
child gave evidences of precocity of intellect
rarely to be witnessed in one of her age.
Her language and the subjects of her thought
were such as might rather have been expect
ed from one of more advanced years. This
striking mental development, accompanied
by an amiable disposition, and spotless char
acter, which during her entire, though short
career, exempted her from reproach, or re
proof, won also the admiration and warm
regard of her relatives and friends. Although
from uncontrollable circumstances the en
tire period of her scholastic training did not
exceed six months, yet some of her episto
lary correspondence furnished models of
English composition, and were so pro
nounced by cultured and competent judges.
She was an acute observer and rarely failed
in her estimate of character. Almost with
out an instructor she acquired a respectable
knowledge of music ; and although from her
age and attendant circumstances her ac
quaintance was necessarily limited to the do
mestic circle and its itnmediate surroundings,
yet, with her precocious mental manifesta
tions, her stock of information obtained by
reading the works of authors supposed to
be in advance of her years, her winning but
guileless arts, her sprightly manners, and
her keen sense of the lud'crous, she became
the favorite and the joy of the household.
Yet she was given to reflection, and being
piously trained, yielded early to religious
impressions, and seemed at times to have a
presentiment of an early dissolution, and to
expect a happy r lease from earth, and a
bright inheritance in heaven. This she ex
emplified in the fo'lowi-ig plaintive lines,
which she wrote upon the fly leaf of a favor
ite volume of her elder sister :
“ A fi-w more storms shall beat,
On this wild, rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more.
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o’er,
A few more toils —a few more tears —
And we shall weep no more.”
And again, the same spirit is manifested in
the following extract taken from a letter ad
dressed to her bro her Lovick : “ Home,
our dear old sunny home. Dear home until
death. After 1 leave our dear old borne, I
want to go to that home where we never
know a sorrow or care.” The writer was
not privileged to be present at her unex
pected but peaceful exit. lie learns, how
ever, that she quietly passed away, to realize
that, blissful repose which she seemed so
anxiously to anticipate in the pathetic ac
cents from her pen above furnished. So
that her afflicted father felt authorized to ex
claim : “ One thing I know —if we would
see her again, we must so live as to get to
an upper and better kingdom.”

Esther Davis, wife of Joshua Davis, was
born June 1, 1788, in Laurens District, S.
C ; and died at Mt. Pleasant, Gadsden coun
ty, Fla., June 20, 1876.
This worthy Christian lady was converted
and joined the M. E. Church at a camp
meeting in Laurens District, S. C., about
1820. She moved to Gadsden county, Fla.,
in 1829, where she lived 47 years. For 56
years she presented to the world a Christian
character untarnished. She was one of the
rare instances of harmony between life and
profession. Her Christian light has been
convincing evidence to many of the truth of
religion. She had spiritual vision to see the
progress of Christianity, and never admitted
that the former times were better than these.
She abounded in that charity that “thinketh
no evil,” almost invariably finding an apol
ogy for the faults of others; and was espe
cially kind to the poor and ignorant. God’s
ministers always found her house their home.
She was meek, but zealous, and often led
in praver at the bouse of the Lord with tell
ing effect. She was prosperous in temporal
things, and never failed to contribute with
willing heart and liberal hand to the support
of all the institutions of the Church, and
greatly relieved the wants of the poor around
her. She was a strong friend to the South
ern Christian Advocate. I suppose she
has been a regular subscriber almost from
its beginning; she held receipts dating as
far back as 1846. She was blessed with a
family of seven, four of whom lived to ma
turity, and three yet survive. They are all
active members of the M. E. Church, South.
Although she was a great sufferer for three or
four years, she was never known to murmur.
Her words always indicated strong faith
and bright hope, often expressing a desire,
whenever it should be God’s will, to pass
over the river and bo at rest. A short time
before she died the holy sacrament was ad
ministered to her which seemed a season
of refreshing, and the pluming of faith’s
mighty wings, to bear her safely to her home
in heaven. Truly a mother in Israel has
finished Iter course, and gone to exchange
the cross for the crown. In the long con
flict of over four-score years, faith in Christ
has triumphed over the foe, and she has en
tered into the “joy of her Lord.” The
Church and community have lost, but she
has gained. Dear ones sorrow here, while
dear ones rejoice there. The world is poor
er, but heaven is richer. May the bereaved
take courage and follow on until “ like pre
cious faith” shall bear them through to the
celestial gate, and angels shout, “ All ! all
are safe at home! W. F. Norton, P. C.
John A. Lucas was born February 14,
1833, in Belville, N. J.; and died in Apa
lachicola, Fla., July 9, 1876.
He joined the M. E. Church, South, in
the city of Apalachicola during the revival
in 1851, and in the act of joining professed
to have received the blessing of justification.
From that time on his religious course was
somewhat varying, but for the last two years
he had been trying to live a more consistent
Christian life. My first acquaintance with
brother Lucas was in January last. When I
arrived in this city as pastor of the M. E.
Church, South, I found him holding the
several responsible offices of Trustee, Stew
ard, and Sunday-school Superintendent, to
which was added that of Class-leader. In
the several offices according to his opportn
nity it would be hard to find one more faith
ful or more successful. In his death the
Church has met with a severe, and I fear,
irreparable loss. I had frequent conversa
tions with brother Lucas in reference to his
spiritual condition, and he always expressed
an undying faith in the blessed Saviour. But
the place to put one’s religion fully to the
test is on the dying bed. Here his faith
failed him not. He retained his mind clear
to within a few minutes of his last breath,
and although unable to talk much, whenever
spoken to on the subject he invariably de
clared his full assuraHce of salvation through
a precious Saviour. About an hour before
his spirit departed he was asked if he still
felt that he could trust in the Redeemer for
salvation. He replied, “Yes;” and then
with great effort raised his hand and pointed
heavenward, saying with much emphasis and
with a smile of joy, “ I have a home up
yonder.” These were among his last words.
He leaves a wife and many friends to mourn
his loss, as was fully attested by the large
concourse of people who followed his re
mains to the grave, among whom our Cath
olic friends were by no means behind others
in the respee’ability of their numbers—some
of them acting as pall-bearers. One more
saint has gone to heaven ; thank God for the
hope of meeting him there. Amen.

James Sanders Means, son of William
and Susan Means, was born in Upson coun
ty, Ga., July 8, 1853 ; and died at his fath
er’s, July 22, 1876. 4
He professed religion and joined the
Church under the ministry of Rev. W. W.
Stewart in 1867. He was a consistent Chris
tian until death came, and found him ready
for the summons to “depart and be with
Christ.” He did express a regret that he
had not been more faithful; but he had com
mitted his soul and his eternal interests into
the hands of Jesu3, and he was “ persuaded
that He was able to keep that which he had
committed unto Him against that day.”
Hence, when he realized that he was dying
he expressed himself as confident that Jesus
was his Saviour, and heaven was his eternal
home. He seemed happy in the prospect of
meeting his sister, who preceded him a few
months to the heavenly home. He desired
that we should sing and pray. When we
asked him what we should sing, he said—
“o! let us meet in heavt.n.” During the
singing he raised his hands as if he longed
to fly away and be at rest. Before he died
he called his young friends around him and
urged them to become Christians, and
warned them that unless they changed their
course they would never get to heaven. He
was conscious to the last, and perfectly rP
tional. Toward the last he grew somewhat
impatient to he freed from the prison-houffe
of clay, and prayed his Heavenly Father to
come down and take him away. He pre
ferred to he “ ah-ient from the body and
present with the Lord." He bade his loved
ones an affectionate farewell, and then he
seemed as eompo ed as if he was about to
retire for a night’s rest in sleep. Steadily
he weakened, and finally the desired end
came, and his spirit soared away from earth
to God, “ where the wicked cease to trouble
and the weary are forever at, rest.” Thus
passed away one of our best young men,
respect'd and loved by young and old. lie
was in most respects a model young man,
and the community has suffered a great loss.
But how hard lor the fond parents to give up
their dear boy, who promised to be so great
a comfort- to them ! The Lord sustain them.
Brethren, pray for them. R. L. Wiggins.
Miss Mary A. Baker was born in Mon
roe, Walton county, Ga., October 10, 1827;
and died in the same county July 10, 1876^
Sister Mary embraced religion in early life,
and lived a consistent Christian until the day
of her death. She was never married, but
lived with father and mother until the death
of mother in 1872. father having died nearly
seven years previous. She then came to
live with me, where she remained until she
died. Sister was a model of industry and
neatness, good humor and cheerfulness, and
took great pleasure in rearing (lowers, which
she cultivated with much diligence, thus
making home attractive and pleasant. She
took delight, in studying the Scriptures, and
was particularly fond of the Sabbath-schsi>l t
which she never (filed to at’end whenever at
all practicable. In the beginning of her ill
ness she said, “ I do not fear death, nor the
grave, but I wan' a brighter evidence of my
acceptance with God.” For this she prayed,
and asked others to help her, and sent word
to ask the Church to pray for her; and we
doubt not but her prayers were answered.
An hour or two before she died my wife
asked her how she felt about dying. She
said with much animation, “ Perfectly re
signed”; then said, “Thy will, O God, be
done." She frequently asked those around
her to sing the song beginning with, “ My
latest sun is sinking fast,” etc. She gave
directions concerning her burial, and told
her friends about her, and sent word to
others to meet her in heaven. May God
grant that all may take her advice and do so.

Lucius A Luke died in Columbia county,
Ga., May 13, 1876, in the 49th year of his
age.
Brother Luke was born and reared in Co
lumbia county, and was one of its best citi
zens. He was honored by bis fellow citi
zens with positions of responsibility. He
was kind hearted, benevolent, and quite
popular with all classes. Brother Luke was
a Christian tried and true. He professed re
ligion sixteen or eighteen years since under
the ministry of brother H. J. Adams. His
conversion was bright, clear, and well de
fined, and like Paul he loved to tell it. He
was a spiritual man-—he walked with God
and died triumphantly. His sky was without
acloud. Thank Go Iso many of our people
die well. A superintendent of the Sunday
school at Appling, he took adpep interest in
it while living, and when dying he said :
“ Brethren, don't let my Sunday-school go
down.” He selected some beautiful Sun
day school songs which he wished sung at
his funeral, which was done; and many
vowed to meet him in the “ better land.”
Brother Luke’s place will be hard to fill in
the Church. He will live in the hearts, and
his memory he long cherished by his breth
ren and fellow-citizens of Columbia county.

Mrs. Excy L. Tucker, wile of Rev. War
ren J. Tucker, was born February 10, 1803;
and died in Rockdale county, Ga., June 29,
1870.
She was converted and joined the Metho
dist Church when quite young, and remained
a consistent member of the same until death.
Her last sickness was painful in the extreme,
and she consequently said but little on the
subject of her future hope; but her long
life of service, much of which was performed
unmurmuringly in the midst of severe affl e
tions, is the surest source of comfort to her
bereaved relatives and friends. I preached
her funeral the day she was buried, at Smyr
na Presbyterian Church, near by where she
had lived for many years, and the crowd of
sympathizing friends that gathered on that
occasion attest the estimation in which she
was held by those who knew her best.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Whereas, our dear brother, John S.
Travis, was, on the 4th day of June last, in
the 71sl year of hi3 age, transferred f.om
the fellowship of this Church to the commu
nion ef the saints on high, it is resol .ed by
Trinity Church in regular session convened:
1. That while we grieve with his family at
this loss to tliPm an t to us, we render de
vou thunks to our H- aveniy Father for the
grace that wrought mightily in and through
him, enriching the Church by his Godly ex
ai’p'e, ready zeal for his Master’s cause, and
faithful unfolding of the word of life, in the
pulpit and everywhere, for so many years.
2. That we recognize in his modest but
fervent piety, his uniform fidelity as a “stew
ard of the manifold grace of God ” in the
keeping and improvement, for the glory of
God and the advancement of Christ’s king
dom on earth, of the trust fund committed
to him, an illustration of the power and
worth of our religion that should lead us
to the like grace and glorious inheritable.
3. That a page in our Church Record be
inscribed to his memory.
4. That a copy of these resolutions be
forwarded by the secretary to the family ol
our deceased brother ; also to the Southern
Christian Advocate for publication.

This newspaper, as its name indicates, will de

improvement of the material interests of South
Carolina. It will endeavor to represent, in a
faithful and enlightened manner, the best ele
ments of the community, in which it looks for
patronage, socially, industrially, and politically.
It is the aim of the projectors to make it highly
aud equally valuable to the family, the voter, the
merchant, the farmer, and manufacturer, and to
fulfil, as far as possible, every requirement of an
advanced modern Journal. Its news columns will
be supplied with the latest and best information
attainable, and special care will be bestowed upon
the preparation and elaboration of its market re
ports.
Its columns will always be open to communica
tions of a proper character from responsible par
ties, and the redress of public wrongs and griev
ances, will always find in it a willing and sympa
thc ic medium.
In politics. THE JOURNAL OF COMMERCE
will be Democratic; keeping abreast of the most
advanced and progressive views of the party. And
in its financial policy, advocating the speediest
possible return of the country to a metalic curren
cy, consistent with the safety of its business inter
ests.

MERCE will be priuted—a daily edition, which
will be printed every morning, except Sunday; a
semi-weekly edition, which will be priuted on
Tuesdays and Fridays, {juid a weekly edition,
which will be printed on Saturdays. These edi

Semi Weekly, in advance 4 00
Weekly, in advance % 00
As TIIE JOURNAL OF COaMMERCE will start
with the assured countenance and support of the
business community of Charleston, and with a
large subscription list, already ootained, it is obvi
ous that it will be able to offer unusual inducements
toadvertisers. Circulating in nearly every commer
cial establishment, and read in nearly every home
circle in the City, and appealing to a large and
constantly increasing country patronage, its col
umns will furnish the best of means for our citi
zens to make their business wants known to each

SAVANNAH, GA.
’I’UK POLifIOAL CAMPAIGN OF 1876 which
I inci- des National, State and county elections,
a. 1 which will undoubtedly be the most active
ud hotiy contested of any since the memorable
;iu?sß of 1860, is row fairly opened. The Na
im al Democratic Party will this year make a
oold, vigorous, and doubtless successful struggle
for the maintenance and supremacy of those prin
ciples which are vital to the prosperity of the Re
public and essential to the well-being of the peo
ple.
In addition to the Presidential election, the peo
ple of Georgia and Florida will elect new State
governments. In Florida the campaign promises
to be unusually vigorous, and there is a probabil
ity that for the first time since the war the people
of that Radical-ridden State will elect a Demo
cratic State government. In these campaigns the
people of the South are deeply interested; and
every in'elligent citizen, who has the welfare of
hi3 country and his section at. heart, should ac
quaint himself with every detail of the great work
of redemption and reform that is now going on.
To this end he should subscribe to and assist in
circulating the Savannali Morning- News,
an independent Democratic newspaper, of pro
nounced opinious and fearless in their expression;
a paper that is recognized everywhere as the best
daily in the South. Its editorial department is
vigorous, thoughtful, and consistent, while its
news and local departments are marvels of indus
try and completeness. Its department of Georgia
and Florida affairs is not confined to a mere bar
ren summary of events transpiring in those States,
but is enlivened by comment at once apt, timely,
and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches. Bpecial tele
grams, aud by means of special correspondence;
aud through these agencies the paper will be the
earliest chronicle of every noteworthy incident of
the political campaign of 1876.
