ffilntlic ffioxmtij ©ouvtct' J.E. GARDNER, Editor and Proprietor A GENERATION OF GAHBLERS. It ix indeed sad to contemplate the fact that the present genera tion is tending into the gambling proolivities. We read in history of where gambling places in old Rome and Athens and Paris were frequented by tht elite and men and women thought no more of it than going to church. Georgia seems to be trying to imitate them. We have crap shooting among the negroes—for which sport they help pave the street. We have poker playing by th professional gambler, n good part of whose earning go to pay the court officers, and then we hove the five hand euchre gamblers, who enjoy a pleasant evening at private homes—for prizes and we suspect that it will not be a great while until some five buildings are erected at which the games commence in earnest. It only leads to that. A strange part of the whole affair is that church members are sometimes the principal partic- pants in all these games. It is a horrifying fact. How can peo ple be conscientious when they gamble in the week and brag on the sermon on Sunday, and then tell sinners to flee from the wrath to come. Another series o^ambling and the worst of all, is the gambling indulged in upon ball games. They bet openly and nothing is said of it. They are the means of causing the men women and the boys to gamble. , There is not 7 game pljtyed but tljlnt hundreds of dollars changei hands and nothing is said of it. Thus, you see, we have colleges, prepared by the people, who fos ter the crowd—and teach—that gambling may be irfflulged in— that the young may in early days —catch on and sear their con sciences, so that when they grow older—your boys will not hesitate to gamble at anything. Then the grand jury should not stop at the gambler that hides in the woods, or the little picaniny that hides under the bridge, but should treat all alike—the better on games, the better on at cards whether for prizes or money— there is no difference, and enforce the law, or our posterity will be a generation of vipers and robbers and there will be no one to check them. HUMANE INDIANA Out in Indiana, the other day a crowd of unmasked citizens went to the house of a white woman and her two daughters, who had a negro rooming in the house, and took the two girls and negro out, whipping the younger one with apple switches, while the elder girl and the negro were whipped with barbed wire, and the negro who was 68 years of age was struck in the eye with brass knucks. Now we have no remarks to make upon the matter except that it was in a negro loving state. They would delight to see amalgamation in the South, but is such a thing happens up there—or any sem blance of it—then they ubc barbed wire to frail them with, this, too, in Indiana. We really don’t know what we would do down South, but it seems that lynching would be preferable to barbed wire. Well, Indiana, is a great state and they abound in intelli gence (?) and barbarity, as the above goes to prove. Memorial to Bro. K. M. Marks. From Glenn Lodge I. 0. 0. F,, No. 75, Athens. Georgia. Again lias death in vailed this lodge—again with relentless grief has borne a trophy from our ranks. Again we pause to pay tribute to the dead. Brother K. M. Marks has gone to his rest. He reached the end of his pil grimage and the promise “I will give thee rest” was fully realized. His battle of life ended und the conflict over, the stormy ocean crossed, the haven of rest at last entered. Thu whole of life is a wide ocean. We are 1 ike a vessel tossed on the bosom of the deep: At times it wrestles with'the gale, and is stripped of its masts and sails; but at times it skims lustily along the placid surface, but whether its voyage he calm or stormy, or swift, or slow; whether it sails through sunshine or through fog, it lands at last in its quiet port, and, once anchored there, it is at rest forever. We cannot dismiss him to the dark chambers of death. Recognizing his virtues, we delight to do him honor, and will weave bright gar lands gathered from the sweetest flowers of FRIENDSHIP, LOVE and TRUTH, and tenderly twine them, a last sad tribute, around his memory. The places that knew him once will know him no more forever, but in a potent sense he still lives—lives in the virtues which he illustrated. “These are invulnerable to the leaden Sceptre.” None ever questioned his integrity, and no suspicion ever cast a film upon the clear surface of his character. It was above reproach. His afi’a- blo manner drew his friends to him and “grappled them with hooks of steel.” He was always a gentleman in his manner and deportment, and wo utter no idle words when we behalf of the members of Glenn Lodge that, “Living we all loved him; dead, we will cherish his memory in our innermost hearts.” To his relatives we would say, “When the surface of the lake is ruffled ty the rough wind, far down in its depths there is a calm.” j He enjoys a heavenly! rest which even “an angel’s voice could not describe;” with a quite,unshaken connfidenco in God, ho was prepar ed to resign his spirit into His hands. “Peacefully he bowed his head and died.” Let stimulants to virtue and piety he the flowers that spring up to us from the grave of our departed brother. From the con templation! of the dead may our thoughts be led to the living, with the one holy desire to be come active in the cause of hu manity, to dry the tears of the afflicted, to comfort the so mov ing to help the needy, to conquer the evil, to promote the good.
