The constant increase of this incom-
parable success is still further accounted
for by the reduction of premium rates
which the Mutual put in force some
thing like year ago. and which enables
it to give insurance of the most unques-
toned safety at the lowest known fig
ures.
Poverty and the willingness to run
heavy risks fer light gain have caused
the death. or, at any rate, the asphyxia-
tion of brave man. He was diver by
profession. and was employed for the
muni6cent sum of ten dollars, out of
which he had to pay his assistants, to
attach cable to an anchor which had
been lost in recent collision in the

A serious nlrficultx.

On Wednesday evening last a Sc
rious shooting affair occurred al
Fentress & Heggie's saw mill, near
Palmyra, between Mr.. lobe Heg-
gle and Mr.. Emmett Powers. They
had dispute about some trivial
matter, and then came to blows, and
from that to shooting. We learn
that Heggie fired three times (all
the contents Of his pistol, and then
called to Powers to stop firing, as
his pistol was empty; but Powers
continued to shoot, and as Reggie
undertook TO shelter himself behind
a tree or some other obstruction, he
was shot down. Powers then fired
one or two more shots, when they
were separated. Heggie was shot
in two or three places, and was bad
ly, if not fatally hurt. He was, how
ever, alive yesterday morning, and
there was some hope of his recov-
cry. Powers was not injured at all.
He has been arrested and, we learn,
is now in Jail.

OF course the barbecue at Bethle-
hem, Oct. IL, was very pheasant
affair."" as you say, but somebody
ought to have said more than that.
The CHRONICLE should have had a
reporter on the ground. There was
large gathering of refined people.
Prof. Williams was the orator of
the day, and his speech, some two
hours in length, was one of the most
eloquent, solid and humorous that
/ ever heard. DIR. Moody said he
endorsed everything the Prof. said !;
of course, then, it was good. Six
hundred pounds of barbecued meat
and an ample supply of bread were
served up after the speech. Then
followed social intercourse and the
revival of friendships. No whisky
signs were present, and no BRAN
dance dishonored the occasion. In
due time all departed to their res
pective homes. The affair was got
ten up by Christian people for the
purpose of advancing social inter-
communication among neighbors,
helping forward the educational in
terests and doing good generally;
and these designs were accom-
plished.
And let me tell you, too, that the
Bethlehemites are not whit be-
hind any community that I know
of in educational enterprise. They
have an excellent academy build
ing, with all necessary furniture,
which is well filled with students,
and presided over by Prof. Charlie
Alternately, who isa second and i'm
proved edition of Col. g. T. Aber-
nathy, one of the finest educators in
the State. If you want your boys
educated send them to Bethlehem.

We are surprised and concerned
at finding that our editorial notice
of Mr.. Halls advertisement has
been misinterpreted and taken as a
reflection on the older merchants
in GAINESVILLE. Nothing could be
further from our purpose. We here
reprint the portion which has been
objected to:
We trust that the example will
be generally followed. Those who
are unaccustOmed to Ii will find it
inconVenient at first, but ia the end
it will be found advantageous TO
both BUYERS and sellers for one
thing goods can be sold at least %
per cent. cheaper on that basis.
We we're writing about the cash
SYSTEM. This was taken to mean
that Mr.. Hail is she only merchant
who sells for cash. and that cOnse-
quently he sells % per cent. cheaper
than any one else. Our purpose
was not 10 compare one merchant
with another, but the cash system
with the credit system. We know
that other merchants sell for cash
too, and that all of them aim to do
so as nearly as possible, and our ar
tieie was Intended to aid them in do
ing so. As to tiie comparative prices
of Mr.. Hall and other aleachapts
we intended to make no statement,
for the best reason that we knew
nothing about it. Those who de-
sire information on this subject can
only obtain it I'm one way, by calling
at theseveral establishments and pric-
ing the goods, a test to which weber
lieve that all are willing to submit.

METnopEsT CHURCH.



Our Methodist friends mustered
in force to welcome the Rev. J. ID
Barbee, iwho, by appointment of the
recent Conference, has been sta
toned for the year at GAINESVILLE as
their minister. He seems to have
already established himself strong
ly in their favor. His subject, ap-
prOpriate to the occasion, was the
qualifications of the Christian min
iStry. Setting aside high intellect
and learning as essential (thongh
valuable in their place., he laid
down as the one indispensable quail
ifieation, a supernatural mission
from the Lord of the vineyard.
This once established, the Church,
he said, had nothing to do with it
except to recognize and accept it,
and thence-forward he speaks to his
fellow men in virtue of the spirit
within him which is the Spirit of
Christ. Methods of revival, chalk
ed out by theorists, he thrusts aside
on the principle that God revives
his work in his own way, which
cannot be anticipated by human
ingenuity.
The impression we derived from
Mr.. Barbee's preaching was that he
is an earnest working preacher, of
the old school of Methodist proceed
ure, and we do not doubt but that
he will do earnest work among us.

that we lost our working sPectacles,

The Art illustrations of Measrs.
Soderer & Ball were exhibited here
every night Of this week. These
elegant pictures are both instructive
and beautiful. They are produced
by photography upon glass plates
and the impressions projected upon
a large sheet, twenty feet square, by
means of the oxyhydrogen light.
The picturesque cities of Europe,
their palaces, cathedrals and art
galleries are produced to mems eyes
with wonderful precision and fideli-
~, and especially the sculpture as
sumes a solidity which makes it
almost impossible to believe that
one is looking upon a fiat surface.
On Friday afternoon, a cheap ex-
hibition was given to the schools,
and tonight the exhibition will
close with its masterpiece, the
series which illustrates Egypt and
the Holy Land. This should fill
the hall.

ABA's GONE.


Once more the tidings come,
That Death has done It's work;
Dear little Aba's gone,
By its unsParing stroke.
How much loved to hear
The music of her voice,
So gentle and so clear,
1t made US all rejoice.
But now, alas, she sleeps
Down in her lonely urn;
Nor can the heart that weeps
Do aught for her return.
They tell us she'll survive,
AS ages roll away
TrIumphantly revive
In everlasting day.
Such faith of heavenly birth
May soothe the aching heart,
Dtspel the clouds of earth,
AS our dear friends depart.
And as the Savior told
The children all to ''Come,"
SO will He them enfold,
In his eternal home.
