Jan. 3, 1SS5.-To the Legislature: l

lands resignation, and inform him
that the Legislature is ready for bus
mess.

Gov. Hill, in his message to the
Legislature says:
at may be safely asserted that the
administration of Gov. Cleveland for
two years past more than met the
just expectations of the people, and
made its lasting impression on the
annals of the State. 1t has been
brilliant in its sterling integrity,
safe in its true conservatism, bold in
its efforts for reform, faithful IN its
adherence to pledges, and vigilant in
its opposition to corruption. lis
straightforward and business-like
conduct, united with the unques-
TONED honesty of purpose, has made
for it and for himself warm approval
of his political friends, sincere res
pect of his opponents, and unswerv-
ing and unselfish support of indie
pendent citizens everywhere. That
he may meet with the same degree
of success in the greater Office to
which he has been called is the earn
est wish of all citizens of this State,
and of every lover of good govern
ment."

ernor was in genial, communica-
tive mood, and talked freely to Sena-
tors. He joked and laughed all the

that his daughter was taken with a VIC

Haskell, away up in the Panhandle, is
800 miles from any place, yet the STATES
NAN reaches there, for correspondent
says:
We have been expecting that "Walk-
about in his rambling, might step up
here and gather a few intellectual gems
for his column. We take special interest
in the old gentleman's column, having
known him as High Private" In East
Texas.
Old gentleman, indeed; why Walkabout's
youngest child is not yet year OLD.
Methuselah was fifteen times older than
w. ever was.
Walkabout wants to offer few words
of advice to the young men of Austin, and
he will begin by saying that no young man
can afford to frequent gambling houses,
drinking saloons and other places of vice
and dissipation while he is engaged in
business for himself or for others. He
cannot frequent gambling rooms without
being discovered, and that will ruin his
credit. If you, young men, gamble the
chances are in favor of the professionals
in all games, and they are bound to win at
your expense in the long run. Therefore,
no business man young or old can afford
to patronize the gaming table.
If you continue drinking to excess your
health, credit and fortune will all suffer,
with as much certainty as the sun rises
and sets. The money you spend for
liquors is needed in your business. If you
spend only fifty cents a day for liquors
you will spend $1S2.50 in year. and that
sum, small as it is, may be needed to meet
your liabilities. But those who drink hab-
itually to excess spend much more than
that.

annual report. After expressing fervent
thankfulness, and extolling the virtues of
SOule university, the report says:
1T Is a home institution which the
church cannot, consistently, with its own
interests, suffer to languish or die. The
need of church schools is growing
stronger daily, to counteract the insidious
tendencies of the purely
SECULAR EDUCATION,
which the state dispenses in her schools.
The state omits God and Christ in her
system of education, and christian parents
are too often beguiled into casting the
burden of the education upon the state,
thereby ignoring their own parental obi
cations and exposing the minds of their
children to the adngers of infdelity, or
the scarcely less baneful humanitarianism
which is substituted for the pure
and vivifying
MORALITY OF CHRIST.
This danger should startle the church
out of its apparent apathy toward its ed
ucational agencies. Artful measures and
speclous arguments of economy are put
forth by the secular press in order to pop
ularize the idea of education by the state,
and thus paralyze the church schools. 1t
is dangerous delusion, for if the bible
be eliminated from the schools the educa-
ton which they dispense will prove
A SNARE TO PULL THE SOULS
of our sons and daughters down to de-
struction."
Soule college is the only male institution
of its grade within the bounds of the

there had been over 500 accessions to the

to this conference. A parsonage will be
built at Calvert. The district conference
was a gracious revival of Gods holy work
within the bounds of Mr.. Aliens district.
The last presiding elder to report was
Rev. II. V. Philpot, of the
HUNTSVILLE DISTRICT.
There were no special or peculiar phases
of the work in his district. There had
been no great number of conversions, nor
any great sweeping work of grace in his
district. Peace and harmony reigned
throughout. One church had been built,
and it was out of debt. At the old town
of Montgomery parsonage was erected
and the old church will be re-
paired and made safe and COM
Portable. There had been some success
full camp meetings and the sacraments
had been pretty regularly administered.
