AN EARNEST PREACHER.
Sam Jones EIectrities a LARGE Audience

Sunday was big day in Gainesville.
Sam Jones mammoth gospel tent was pack
ed with a mass of human beings, while MANY
stood up on the outer edge. Trains from
Chattanooga Rome and Atlanta, brought in
large additions to the swelling throng. 1t
was estimated that there were six to eight
thousand people present Back of the pull
pit were large number of colOred folks
who were Invited to sing some special pieces,
and they did SO with charming melody. Om-
nibuses, carriages and vehicles were kept
busy Transporting the tide OF humanity to
and from the gospel tent Rev. Sam Jones
preached in the morning and Rev j. T.
Gibson in the afternoon. We heard both of
these divines preach the same sermons in
Marietta heretofore and of course their sec
ond rendition did not interest us with the
same intensity as on their first hearing.
The sermon by Mr.. Jones was on the sub
ject of Conscience Record, GodW one of
his best and most powerful productions.
His style is different from most any other
preacher, both IN matter, manner and deliv-
cry There is very little gracefulness in his
delivery, but there is a good deal of logic in
his matter. He is aggressive in some in
stances and in the simplest forms of speech
cuts to the core of the subject with keen
ness of a surgeons lancet. Desperate cases
needs desperate remedies At other times
he is eloquently persuasive and pleads with
a pathos that melts into tears his congrga-
ton. During these pathetic scenes, he
seems to become overpowered with his own
feelings, and love and gentleness takes the
place Of bristling sentences and defiant de-
meanor. In his way, he is great preach
er, and is doing power of good As an
evangelist he is success, but as station
ed preacher we believe, he would be out of
his element.

FORTY YEARS AGO

Forty years ago, the 10th of this month,
the first train rolled into Marietta. Our
venerable townsman, Mr. William Root, was
on board. The train started from Augusta
on the 9th of September, ls45, and it was
expected that it would reach Marietta on
the 9th but it jumped the track and was de-
layed in its arrival until the day following.
Its advent created big sensation in our
town. Everybody turned out to see the
iron horse and as they looked upon it,
their wonder greater grew how such things
could be. Atlanta was then a place of few
houses, known as Marthasville and it was
never expected that the station would
amount to anything, but she got the bulge
on Marietta by securing the terminus, and,
by becoming the center of other systems of
Railroads, she has outgrown her swaddling
clothes, and become the Gate City" of the
South, while Marietta, although laid in ash
es once or twice, holds her own with com
mendable pride and energy the home of re-
iinement, culture and health, the prettiest
place in the State, and a great winter and
summer resort, located in the banner agri-
cultural and industrial county of the State.
And by not becoming the center of Rail
roads, she has missed great deal of what
Atlanta has been and is

There was man in our town. and he
was wondrous wise for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised again. And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, TO see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom in, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek-
els in and saw his fortune rising, he took
goodly lot Of tin and kept on advertising.

Home Conversation.

Nothing in the home needs to be
NOR ecarfully watched and diligent.
~ cultivated than the conyersa-
ton. 1t should be imbued with'the
spirit of love. No bitter words
should be spoken. The language
of husband and wife in their
intercourse should always be ten
der. Anger in word or even in
tone should never be suffered.
The warmth and tenderness of
their heart should flow ont in
every word that they speak to
each other. AS parents, too, in
their intercourse with the chil>
dren, they should never speak
save in words of Christ-like gen.
tleness. 1t is a fatal mistake to
suppose that children's lives can
grow up into beauty in an atmos-
phere Of strife. Harsh, ANGRY words
are to their sensitive souls what
frost is to flowers. To bring them
up in the nursery of the Lord is
to bring them mp as Christ
himself would, and surely that
would be with infinite tenderness.
The blessed Influence Of loving
speech day after day and months
after month, it is impossible to
estimate. 1t is like the falling
of warm spring sunshine and rain
on the garden. Beauty and sweet
ess of character are likely to come
