We saw all three of our doctors go.
ing last week to sec II patient.
The Psalm Singer has an ''Infidcl'
in it's office. We are a little curious t,
know what department he will edit.
If you take the first letter Of "!Scner'
and the fourth letter OF "Eiutc1'' you
will have respectively the first letters
in the family name OF the two cores
pondrnts that have bcea discussing so
vigorously and ably the union between
the Associate Reformed and United Pres
bytcrian churches in the columns OF
the associate Reformed Presbyterian.
To help the guessing we will add they
are both ministers.
The PS0lm Singer comes out in
new style and drcss-n sixteen page
paper and neatly printed.
Mr.. Il. w. IIaddon received mos en-
courasing news concerning the c. c. G.
& G.. rail road in an official communion
ton recently. 1t is pitiFul to see the
SnecrS of some people ut this road and
that too after they have said publicly
their opinion would cease. Words are
sometimes cheap.
And John Bright is to speak in Lind
say Hall again. HIS speech here thirty
years ago is regarded by many as the
finest ever deviicrcd at any
ment occasion in Due West. Prof.
Hood has IL copy, which he highly
prizes.
The beloved Miss McQurns who has
been i'll, VIC are glad to say is much bet
ter. She has lived a faithful life and
even now, when past her four score
years, she is like a minisicring angel in
every good undertaking.
We acknowledge 1.-THE Industries of
-Atlantn'' sent with the compliments Of
Il friend. We have enjoyed a rcruSal of
this pamphlet. a splendid statue Of
Ben Hill is on the fron,ispiece. a
sketch of the "EXposition Of cotton
quilts and Of the firm Of Moore, Marsh

havs friends connected with each.
The output Of the "ExHosition mills is
10000 yards Of cloth Il day or j.OOO.NrO
a year. d. n. Specr is it's President.

We had the pleasure the other day of
taking Il meal with Mr.. Il. G.. Brownlcc
and lady, vino live some couple OF miles
out of town. They spread a most
beautiful table. have everything plcnti-
fully around them and Mr.. Brownlec is
energetic and pushing and is succeeding
we'll. He has Il nice plantation Of fresh
land.
In a trip through the country we pass
ed Cheatam's mills located on Turkey
creek. 1t has a splendid water power
and has Il, fine two story mill house, hut
we were surprised to find that it was
closed up on account of needing re-
pairs. This ought not to be, some
pushing individual ought to get hold Of
this excellent location.
We acknowledge a package Of papers
consisting of u number Of issues Of the
Augusta Chronicle. Among these arc
several copies Of their centennial addi-
| ton. They make Il fine showing for
Augusta, the State Of Georgia and es-
pccially for the Chronicle itself. In
last weeks issue Prof. White presents
his views on the negro and ]pronounces
him Il failure asriculturally AMI the
Chronicle endorses these views editor
ially. We do not endorse the views Of
Prof. White especially if the foreign i'm

lie OF the Peasants that he would have
to take their place. which we believe o
be impracticahle. We believe the ne

violence and moreover we believe
he is the best labor for cotton
and corn that the South will ever get.
We take no stock III this crusade against
him. He is easier managed than the
white labor and much cheaper. 1t is a
different thing to run an agricultural
farm supported by the State with plenty
Of money, from a common farm with
everything scanty. If Prof. White
means simply rs n tenant with no
supervision his position is more ten
able.
Mr.. Patton Kennedy had one bone
