III has been fashionable for year
or two to visit the Northern lakes
or mountains. These resorts are
very pleasantsin hot weather, but
they have serious drawbacks.
First, it is very expensive getting
there and back again. Then ii is
still more costly to remain, as one
should, until Southern frOsts; for if
one returns home during the mala-
rial season he is much more liable
to suffer the effects of the poison
than he would have been had he
remained South all summer. Then
their distance from business and
other connections is an objection.
All these can be avoided and more
than equal benefit secured by the
expenditure of less than half the
time, money and preparation neces-
sary for Northern trip. We'have
within easy reach a resort whose
claims have been before the public
fifty years and never been rivalIed
or disputed. In all that ministers
to health or pleasure it is the peer
of any place in the United States,
and its charges are very reasonable.
Railroads give its visitors excursion
rates. We refer to Bailey Springs,
Ala, Ellis d Co., proprietors. At.

| Mysterious are the ways of Providence.
Just so it seemed when Winnie, aged ten
| years, only child of Joseph T. Fletcher, was
taken from earth to join that loving mother
| in world of bliss Two weeks since and
she so young and beautiful was reciting in
her Sunday school class, with every pros
pect of a long and useful life. On the fol-
lowing Tuesday she was smitten down by
diptheria, and fingered until the morning of
the 26th of July. The hearts of her devoted
father, loving uncles and aunts, and affec-
tionate grandfather, are too much wounded
to find consolation save in Him who so
fondIy loves those whom he chastens. We,
too, as Sunday-school, feel that-we have
been stricken; and
WHEREAS, God has seen fit to remove
from our midst our dear young friend in
the dawning of girlhood
Resolved, That mysterious as it seems to
us, we may count this affiiction an unerring
Providence, and humbly submit to Him
who ruleth over all wisely and well. We
miss the loved one from among us; her
place to-day in the class is vacant; but we
feel assured that she has joined the assem-
bly, of the just, and answers to-day to the
roll call in heaven.
ResolUed, That we tender our sincere and
heartfelt sympathies to the bereayed fami-
ly, who so faithfully watched over and sup
piled her every wish during her short, but
painful illness, and also that old, grayhead
cd grandfather, in whose home she drew
her last breath, and pray that the comforts
of religion may sustain them in this hour
of great trial.
Resolved, That these resolutions be spread
on the minutes of our Sahhath-sahool, and
copies be furnished the Sunday school Yis-
itor and GAINESVILLE CHRONICLE for pub
lication, and one sent to the relatives of
the deceased.
