How Baltimore Men Dress.
from The Baltimore Sun.


A tailor took Sun reporter to the back part
Of his shop on saturday. and, pulling q dark
gray coat out of the drawer, said:

The tailor threw the coat bach in di-gust.
"Wel,' he SAID at last, i've seen many city,

FIftv Yeara q Missionnry.


from t16 D6tFOib = rec fNTeSS.
The pulpit Of the First Baptist church was
occupied last evening by venerable looking
man, with long hair anu beard, both as white
as snow. He was introduced as Rev. DR.
William Dean, the missionary stationed Mt
Bangkok, Siam, sent out by the American
Baptist Union. He spoke earnestly of his life
work and of the blessings that ais own sacrl-
fee had brought him. To a reporter DR.. Dean
said after hls sermon: ~ es, am an old man
to be a missionary. but / hope l haven't out
lived my usefulness. am 20 years old. and
have been a missionary IN China and siam
for fifty years. A half century Is a long time,
but have been content with my lot. After
studying the infinite wisdom Of God, l have
concluded that when He saws Go We aud teach
all nations will obey. How am I satisfied
with the results of my work? | would not eN-
hange my blessed experience for millions of
money. | have preached TO many thousands
of Chinese, and have myself baptised 500 Of

dying Christian deaths. | have seen them
suffer tortures for preaching Christs doc

fortunes and begin AGAIN to preach the gospel.
II have been home tour times since / first

and have tasted the cup Of sorrow. ! have
left relatives and friends, and have buried

The old mans form WAS drawn up erect, his
eye flashed, and he exclaimed grapdly:

Nunley Clark, a Warren county youth, enter

last evening, with Miss Jettie Collins, pretty
maiden of Warren county, leaning on MS

"Well, / wouldn't climb those stairs this

the perspjTing Justice. 'If you have mind
TO pay that much, all right; but I'd advise
you to take 81 ceremony right here IN the

What do you say, Jettie?" inquired the

The Need of General Local Option
Inv

There is only one thing needed 10 make
Georgia a temperance State, and that Is d
1 general local option law. IL Is almost d
temperance State now. At the late tenn
perance convention it was stated that 10:
/ Of the 1877 counties Of the State had either
/ restricted the sale OF intoxicating liquor
/ by very high license taxes, or had
prohibited the sale of il altogether. II Is
/ probable that if there were local option
law very nearly all of the counties would
take advantage OF it within compare
lively short time.
The progress which the temperance SEN
timent has made in this State is marvel
Gus. II has not been worked up by ia
natics. The chief advocates of the tenn
perance cause are the leading citizens in
every community in which the liquor
traffic has been restricted.
a great many Of those who have ar
rayed themselves on the side of temper
ance are not opposed to a temperate use
of alcoholic beverages; they are opposed
to the incorporate use of them, and TO
the evils which flow from this intemper-
ate use.
They have been forced, in self-defense,
to take a stand on the side OF temperance.
They have seen their labor rendered al
most worthless by the crossroads grog
shops, their jails filed with criminals and
their taxes increased to pay court and jail
expenses. To protect themselves against
these and other evils they have become
the opponents OF whisky.
If the Legislature wants arguments in
favor Of general local option law it can
find them without trouble. For instance,
there was an excursion from Putnam
county to Macon on July 4. The return
trip will not soon be forgotten by those Of
the excursionists who were sober. 1t was
a ride full of danger, and was marked, so
it is stated, by outraSes that respectable
people who could protect Themselves
would not submit to. Unfortunately,
there were women and children on
board who could not protect themselves.
1t will be a long while before they will
want to 90 to Macon on another excur-
sion. They will want TO know first, at
least, that they will not be terrified and
their lives endangered by drunken men.
There would not be such a strong senti-
ment against the liquor traffic if those
who insist on drinking themselves to a
condition of insenslbility or irrespOnsi-
billy would shut themselves up in their
homes or take to the woods until they
were lit to appear in public places. Sober
people get tired of having their lives
endangered, their peace destroyed,
and their burdens in the shape
OF taxes increased simply because
some of their fellow citizens
refuse to put any restraint on their
appetite for liquor. They finally get
TO point where they refuse to be imposed
on any longer, and then they embrace the
temperance cause and demand prohibit
tiOn. Who can blame them? Drunken
ness is not only a nuisance but is most
prolific breeder of crime. 1t is the duty
of the Legislature to help the people in
their effort to get rid Of it.

A C0nfederate Association,

A number Of citizens of Memphis re-
Gently organized Confederate Historical
Association, the objects of which, as set
forth in the application for charter, are
TO establish library, collect, compile, pre-
serve and publish historical facts and
dates concerning the late war between
the States, and to care for and preserve
the graves and monuments of the Confed-
crate dead in that city and vicinity.
Considerable interest has been taken in
the preservation of the graves of the Con-
federate dead by the people OF Memphis,
and quite large sum was subscribed for
that purpose by them during the past
spring. tits gratifying to know that they
propose TO form a permanent organiza-
tion which will have for one of it's OBJ
jects that commendable purpose.
1t is to he regretted that the memorial
associations, which accomplished so much
in establishing Confederate cemeteries
and caring for the graves Of the dead
soldiers of the Confederacy ten or dozen
years ago, have either become disorgan-
lied or inactive. The attention of South
ern people has several times within the
past two years been called TO the fact
that the manner in which the graves OF
the Confederate dead were neglected was
little short OF disgraceful. If 80 much
could he done when the Southern people
were impoverished by the results OF the
war and their subsequent mistortunes,
much more could certainly be accom-
plished now that comparative prosperity
again smiles on the land.
The example of the Memphis people
should stimulate the people of every city
aud village in the South TO form similar
associations. Doubtless all that is needed
is for some puUhc-spirited citizens 10 take
1 the lead in the mattsr. Surely the South
ern people will not postpone this worthy
/ work until their neglect of the resting
/ places Of their heroes is known all over
the world. Let the men and women oil
the South discharge the duty which de-
wolves upon them in this matter.
