Elder Paul Smith In Georgia.

Rev. Harvey Hatcher, well and
favorably known in and around
Keytesville, alias, 'sEIder Burton, !"
of Central Baptist noteriety, is now
travelling among the sleeping saints
of Georgia, where he writes the fol-
lowing letter to the Christian Index,
under the nom de plume, of Elder
p. Paul Smith, from which we con-
clude that Baptist saints in Georgia
are very much like those of Missouri.

Horse Breeding In America

Fifteen million of horses are now
owned in America, and more than
million a year must be bred
to keep up the supply. The largest
portion of these are used for agricul-
raj and heavy draft purposes, and
such horses bring from $175 to $3.50.
1t would be impossible to breed them
if itwere not for the lmportations
of Percheron horses. Five-hundred
stations are now annually imported
from France to the United States.
The immense wealth they are adding
to the nation will be better under
stood when it is known that the first
cross of Percheron stallion with a
native mare doubles the selling val
ue of the colt when mature. Large
numbers of Percheron stations are
exported from the United states by
Canadian breeders to renew the old
French blood, SO highly priced, and
also give quality, style aud action to
the lage English draft and Clydes-
dale stock which has been bred there
SO long. Nearly one hundred Perch
eron stations have been sold to Can
ada during the past two years by M.
W. Dunham, Oakland Farm, Wayne,
Illinois, the greatest importer of the
French race, who has imported from
France nearly 1000 head. He has
now on hand several hundred of the
finest Percherons to be found in

reference to the validity OF the hog

we believe it to be the duty of all
law-abiding citizens to keep the law
as 1t has been declared enacted
There is time yet to, get up a. test

Burgess at the April term of the
circuit court and thus have The mat
ter settled with as little cost and

question: We have no doubt that
reasonable war claims, having the
sanction of law, will be audited as
readily under President Clevcland's
administration as under the admins
tration of any of his predecessors, and
that unjust or illegrl claims will be as
readily rejected as by any other adj

ence, to say nothing of brilliant editorials,

factories, and sold at wholesale = perhaps
they do not save labor and brains by doing
this in Chicago but other cities are not so
fortunate It is far easier and less expensive
to fill up empty columns by ordering so many
inches of miscellany or specials" cut off the
cheap and convenient plates than to find fresh
matter in exchanges, or to evolve leaders
from the editorial intellect, or to write origi-
nal feature articles, and have them set up
at moderate cost. By using the patent fill
ing, a great editor is enabled to issue his
paper regularly-with sixteen pages on Sun
days-with comparatively little strain upon
his mind or pocket. The uninitiated wonder
how it keeps going, and predict speedy fore
closures or other disasters, not knowing that
patent paper may 60 on forever with few
subscribers, nor that the editor who believes
any kind of sheet with printing on it to
be newspaper cares little for financial re-
verses when so small capital is required to set
him up in business again. Patent insides and
plate matter are sweet boon to editors of
limited intellect and purse, but are calamities
to innocent readers who are slow to learn that
a low-priced paper is cheap in every sense of
the word.

and that his death was solely the result of his
malady. 1t appears that he classmate of

Freeman and were attended by number of
the members of Emmanuel Church. who had

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-Leading representa-
tives of the iron trade in this city report very
good business in pig iron. prices that have pre-
vailed for some time past The representative
of an old and prominent company says that for
the three months ending with December his
company will deliver more pig iron than at any
time in its past history. There is no intention.
however, to advance the price, and no proba-
bility that. if an advance were made, it could be
maintained
In the steel-rail trade there is still more
active business doing for early delivery. A sale
of Is. 900 tons was made during the latter part
of this week by Western mills at $31. so at the
mills. This is however, only equivalent to $50
at Eastern mills, at which small sales are being
made. A Western road is in the marker and
will probably place an order for 10000 tons in
a few days.

ANSWERING question, or rather series Of
questions, respecting camp meetings and the
Sunday question: Rev. Dr. Buckley, the able
editor of the New York Advocate, says, among
other things:
Gin some instances annual conferences and
preachers meetings have condemned them,
and many camp meetings either do not hold
over Sunday or keep the gates closed.

evil was the writer, by observing the effect
Cor miles in every direction that for twenty
years, though often invited, he has refused to
preach at, or attend any camp-meeting that
keeps open gates on the Sabbath.
"The one thing that blinds the eyes of
managers is debt on the corporation, or money
to be made. This will lead some men to ad
vocate not only open gates, but the running
of excursion trains and taking percentage
on each passenger.
"The last Sunday camp meeting the writer
attended he was present at the debate when
it was decided to hold over Sunday A man

Brethren, there are souls that will be damned
If you don't hold over Sunday. They are

meetings, the w1iter inquired who he was,

all that he could make"
In order to avoid the slightest possible occa-
sion for misconstruction, it should be said
that, so far as we know Rev. DR.. Buckley was
never at the Acton camp-meeting.

finds that the country editor who formerly
needed to 'hustle" and do all the work him
self, from type-setting to editorial writing,

part of his paper, even to the editorials not of
local nature, being prepared in large cities

DIR. JEFFERY, at Roberts Park Church. said
that many years ago the church was supported
by public tax in the state of Massachusetts,.
There grew to be great opposition to it, many
people thinking that those who were interest
ed personally in the church should support it.
Among others was an eccentric old preacher
who had great reputation as an extempore
speaker and who took every opportunity to
5peak for the repeal of the odious tax. One
day good brother met this man, and invited
him to preach in his church the next Sabbath,
providing he would preach from a text he, the
stated pastor, should select after they
reached the pulpit. The proposition
was accepted The day came, and the
church was crowded. "Uncle Billy" stated
the terms, and then the pastor an
nounced the text from Numbers-'And he
told them to saddle him an ass" The extern
pore anti-tax preacher said that was a good
text, first rate. 1t naturally divided itself
into three pcints-the ass, the saddle and the
rider. The people Of Massachusetts, were the
ass, the saddle was the church tax, and the
rider was the orthodox minister interested
in keeping up the tax. The question was, how
much longer the people of Massachusetts, were
going to allow the orthodox preachers to ride
shem; and he then proceeded to reel off his
usual speech for the repeal of the tax Now,
said DR.. Jeffery, let US make a
local application. The people Of Indian
apolis are the ass, the saddle is the
amount of tax caused by the saloon
business, and the rider the men interested in
having the people pay that tax How much
longer will the people allow themselves to be
ridden, either by the saloon-keepers, or by
those who assist them in saddling this extra
tax upon the patient, longsuffering ASST If
there are any such, why let them show their
ears. For one, he the Doctor, was in favor
of allowing those interested in the saloon bust
ness to pay its expenses.
We leave DR.. Jeffery's very apt and pun
gent illustration just where he did, 1t will
do good to read this in the quiet Sunday
hours either before or after you 90 to church
for the purpose of finding out how to dis
charge your duties both to God and to society
