Ogle made the Seminary measurably
successful last year notwithstanding
the hard times and we have no doubt
that with his experience as an educa-
tor and an increased attendance the
coming year, he will put the institu-
ton Oh a successful footing.
Hon. H. F. Sugden came in from the
stock farm of Messrs. Sugden & Girls
sell, in Dewald township, a few days
ago, and paid out over $4,000 IN cash a.
mong our business men. About ST.
200 of this went to w. r. Bennett for
lumber. We hope Mr.. F. G. Taylor
can secure us few more such settlers.
Then we suppose he can survive the at
tacks of the infamous Journal.
Rev. II. B. futile preached on Sum-
day last, at the Union Congregational
Church, on Spiritualism. At the out
set, lie assumed that "angels'' were a
different order of beings from the hu-
man race, and that therefore no would
eliminate them from the question, be-
lieving that they came when they were
specially sent from God. AS to appa-
ritions, he said he had no doubt there
were such appearances. AS to marve-
lous things seen and heard by those
who had investigated Spiritualism, he
did not question that fact. And he
knew. he said, that men had investiga-
ted this matter, who would rather part
with their right arms than do an in
jury to the cause Of Christ.
The speaker then claimed that the
only thing to consider was the return
of human spirits. And he quoted from
the Old Testament to show that having
to do with familiar spirits' soothsay-
ers, etc., was forbidden to the Jews.
The drift of the sermon was to the ef-
feet that Spiritualism is the work of e.
vii spirits and forbidden by the Bible.
Remarks-Among remarks which we
heard upon the sermon were the follow
ing:
A lady said that did very well for
one side of the question, viz: the return
of eril spirits, and now she would like
to hear a sermon ON the return of good
spirits.
A gentleman thought the effect of
the sermon was to teach that when a
good man died. God took him away
from the world and kept him some
| where, while he turned the evil men
loose to return to the earth and do all
the evil they could.
Another gentleman, who is not a pro-
Tossing Christian. said he would pay
$25 toward the salary of each minister
in Worthington if the ministers would
agree to preach one sermon month on
the subject of Spiritualism, just as a
means Of ARRIVING at the truth,

~ j. A. TOWN RESPONSIBLE?
A good deal has been said from time
to time, in legal and official circles, a.
bout the fact that J. A. Town, Sheriff
of Mobiles county, is acting without
having given bonds under seal. It is
claimed by good lawyers, who have
been consulted upon the subject, that
this vitiates the bonds, and as Town is
not personally responsible there can be
no redress where an action is brought
against him. It is also a question
whether he can collect fees for his SER
vices. It is singular that litigants and
attorneys, who are so much interested
in a matter of this kind, should allow
this thing to continue. 1t would he
we'll to bring this subject to the atten-
ton Of the Attorney General and the
Governor.

WheW! but how the editorial shot fly
at Worthington! The two papers are al
most exclusively devoted to The war of
words with the Journal, for the time
being at least, somewhat ahead. But
the weapon it now handles 80 effective
ly is abused, and if the people there
don It so consider it, they are more big
oted than we credit them with being.
A man may be a sincere, worthy man
and good citizen and be a Roman Cath
Ollie, Buddhist or a Spiritualist- it
isn't profession alone that makes the
man. While people may have strong
prejudices in favor of a particular
form of christian religion, it lily be-
comes men to attempt to ostracize their
neighbors because they profess some
other religion or creed. But with the
Worthington papers ''all's fair in war"
and if this principle should result as it
did with the Kilkenny cats the Wor-
Ellington people might be the gamers.
-Fairmont Seminal.
The Journal is ahead in one thing
only and in that it has always been
ahead and always will be, viz: in down
right blackguardism and INSCRIPTIONS
abuse of leading citizens. Its own
friends acknowledge that in all the es-
sential qualities of a good newspaper the
ADVANCE is vastly superior to the
Journal. We deplore as much as any
man can the state of affairs existing
here and we protest against fair men,
like the editor Of the Sentinel, putting
the ADVANCE on level with the low
Journal. The Journal has slandered a
number of our best citizens; the AD-
VANCE has defended them. Is the man
who defends the right as bad as the
man who does wrong?

Prof. Cook state lecturer, promulgat-

to well-filled houses on three different
occasions this week. He has a glib
tongue and his earnest manner of de-
livery ensures him the close attention

good things which will tend at least to
open the avenues Of thought, and ena-
BILE people to grasp new ideas of theol-
