NHR Gen. Arthur Drives Out.
From the New York sun, to-day.


The bright sunshine OF yesterday enticed
ex-President Arthur out of doors tor the first
time in many weary weeks. His face was col
oriess, and he was sixty pounds short of his
normal weight as he walked feebly down the
steps of his residence at 1913 Lexington avenue
aid stepped into his closed landau, the carriage
he used In Washington, and was wnisked away
behind pair of bays. His son, Mr.. Alan Ar
thur. his sister, Mrs. McElroy, and another
lady accompanied him on his twO-hOurs drive
through Central park. He returned home at 3
pm, and as he stood on the doorstep awhile
talking with relatives before entering the
house he showed by tints in his cheeks that
his drive had benefited him. Mr.. Rastus :.
Ransom, Gen. Arthurs law partner, said last
evening that Gen. Arthur had been intending
rapidly in the past three weeks. He had been
about his room nearly every day, attending to
his correspondence and little business matters
He even talked seriously of going fishing on
the RestigOuche this summer, but OF course,
Nj. Ransom said, that was out of the question,
Mr.. Ransom considered Gen. Arthurs condi-
ton serious, but not peIilous He said EN-
phatically that Gen. Arthur had not Bright
disease OF the kidneys, and showed none Of the
symptoms Of that complaint. Nervous ex-
haustiOn was what allied him.

CHARLTON COUNTY ITEMS.
A Few Good Suggestions from the Wire
graIs Region.

GAI
RACEPOND, GA, April IT, Though
the great reyivaliIts are doing a mighty
work in the large cities, both of the Old
and the New Wfld, we who are CON-
PEELED by force of circumstances to live
in the wiregrass and backwoods, and
whose hunger and thirst is as great as
our city brethren, would derive no benefit
at all from this work were it not for the
popular press. Though hundreds of
miles may intervene between US and
Chicago, on receiving our Savannah
WEEKLY NEWS we were kept acquainted
with the dOings ana sayings OF the earn
est, though sometimes erraJic, Rev. Sam
Jones during his stay in the great West
ern city by the lake.
With what pleasure to do we take up
our Savannah WEEKLY NEWS. A fea-
ture OF 1t that particularly attracts US is
the sermons OF Talmage, the great Brook
Ign divine. the Marriage Ring" series
OF DIR. Talmage's sermons has gone into
thousands of homes through the instru-
mentality of the NEWS.
Mr.. j. Rawls, the well-known turpen-
tine man of MOonshiue IN this county,
has just had built one OF the best little
churches it has been our lot TO see IN
the wire-grass. Beautifully situated
14yRhHhlAAC Wv j III
on the Savannah, Florida and West
ern railway, IT can be seen from
the four cardinal points Of the compass.
Though never before have the people had
the benefit OF a church, they appear to
fully appreciate the present advantages,
for they come for miles around.
This section has always been considered
a stronghold of the Primitive Baptists,
who stoutly object to Sunday schools, but
here there is a very t%ourishlng Sunday
school.
The point we wish to max is, that it Is
our duty to use every talent we have to
the turtherance of the welfare and happL
ness OF our fellow man. There are many
ways of doing this. SOM conduct news
papers for hat object, some build
churches, while others preach and teach,
in fact there is a place for all
in the vineyard il they Will
but accept. We know many places that
make great -pTetenslOns OF being towns,
while they have not a church or school,
house in the place. If it be true that the
best index to a peoples character Is the
condition of its churches and school
houses, the inquiring mind would form
rather an unfavOrable opinion of the
public spirit and enterprise of the inhabi-
tants of these towns.
We are sending missionaries abroad to
convert the heather, while of a truth we
have them at our very door. 1t is the duty
of every citizen who desires the moral
elevation of the people 70 act upon the
Georgia State Sunday School Association
motto. The tide is flowing favOrably.
Never before have we had a religious re-
VIval so general and 50 permanent. Do
not let u beloved State be in the back
ground-note even in the wiregrass.

ment. The Sun correspondent called at
Or. Gregg's residence to see Miss Gregg,
out she was not at home. In the family

Miss Folsom, representing her in differ
ent attitudes which were models OF grace
anC beauty. These were placed in the

Mrs. Gregg said they knew nothing about

Mr.. Joseph G. Eckley is a retired mer-
chant, living at % Allen street. His wife
is a cousin of Mrs. Folsom, and frankie
calls her "Auntie." Just before Mrs.
Folsom, her daughter, and their cousin,
MIR. Benjamin Folsom, the lawyer, sailed
for Europe they visited at Mr.. Eckley's
house. He said that they had received nc
direct information by letter from the
travellers, but that he believed the en-
gagement was true as reported. He said
this with some degree of positiveness,
and probably knows more about it. He
dislIked newspaper publicity, not so
much on his own account, but because
he knew how Miss Folsom felt about
the pictures and articles printed last year.
The FOlsOms, according to recent let
ters, are in Genoa, Italy, and their re-
turn is expected about May .. They will
probably come to Buffalo before going TO
Washington. There is some talk that the
wedding will not be held at the White
House if there are indications of too much
publicity, but that the event will be
quietly celebrated at the home of Secre-
tary Whitney or some other friend Of the
President.

Several days ago Comptroller General
Wright placed in the hands of the Sheriff
of Fulton f. fas against the Pullman Car
Company amounting TO So, 100, and in
structed the Sheriff to make a levy on the
property of the company to satisfy the
claim, which is for back taxes. Saturday

the company, and in addition upon the
buffet car ''Patmos.'
The company has sued an injunction
upOn the Comptroller 10 prevent him from
selling the property leyled upon, and filed
a repleyy bond.
The Comptroller holds that the money
paid the Pullman Car Company by the
railroad for hauling their cars in this
State is subject to taxation, and the at
tOrney Of the Pullmans meets this by say
ing that the revenues arising from mile
age paid by the railroads to the Pullman
Car Company ia. mot subject, as the money
is not paid to any agent OF the company in
Georgia, but is forwarded to the general
Office of the Pullmans at Chicago.
