Greensboro Herald: just a little more
than eleven miles from Greensboro, and
not more than half as many from Union
Point, is Bethany church. Lying upon a
sloping hill, in the midst of the signing
pines and bending oaks, on grassy plot,
the modest and unpretentious little
church will, within a few weeks, be the
scene of events which will be famous
years to come in the history of religion in
Georgia. Upon this same hill and amid
these same oaks-whlch were twigs, and
maybe acorns, in those days-mOTe than
a century ago the first religious services
were held, and at this spot the nucleus Of a
Presbyterian church was made, which
has been increased as the years came
and went, until it is now one of the larg-
est congregations in the county. In the
little cemetery, hard by the white frame
church, the dust of these pilgrims lies,
but the winds which murmur amid the
pines and stoOp to press the sod which
lies above them have through all the years
waited their deeds and creed to the grow
ing world about them. The lives they
lived of patient devotion to the Christian
cause would weave into story, and it is
the remembrance of these early strug-
glers which brings the church together
this year in centennial reunion. 1t
will be one of the grandest events
in the history OF the church ana Of
our county. The religious services Will
be particularly interesting. Many emil
nent divines from all parts of the South
will be in attendance, and will preach
upon different subjects. On Sunday, Aug.
IA, it is now expected that Rev. T. De-
Witt Talmage will deliver a sermon. DIR.
Talmage has been to Bethany before; his
uncle, the celebrated DR.. Talmage, was
pastor at Bethany during the church's in
fancy. and this great divine may be looked
for. His presence. in addition to the
other exercises, will serve to draw an i'm
mense concourse of people.

arms behind him with a rope, then tied
the end of the rope to his own arm so
that any effort on the part OF the negro
to get away would wake him, and

There came very near being a serious
accident in Athens Friday. The horse of
L. w. RuckeF having taken fright, ran
away with his buggy, In which was his
little son. 1t happened that there were
very few vehicles on the street at the
time, which lessened the danger of a col
lision. Several parties rushed forward to
stop the wild beast, but fell back when
they saw the speed OF the animal and the
danger they would run. Finally, brave,
stout negro, Seab Davenport, jumped in
front of the horse and grasped the rein.
The speed OF the horse bore him down,
but he still olung to the lines, being
dragged some distance under the horses
feet. The firm grip of seab on the reins
finally stopped the animal. The little
boy was very much frightened. A
crowd collected around, and several dol
lars were raised on the spot and given to
the brave negro, who risked his own life
to save this little boy.

Paying a Soda Water Bet.
From the Macon tGa.j telegraph.

From the Macon (Ga.l TeIe0r0ph.
Some time ago a certain well-known
merchant bet one of his country custom
ers all the soda water he could drink in
one day that Bacon would be nominated
for Governor.
Yesterday morning bright and early,
the country customer was on hand TO
claim the bet. He was directed TO HUNTS
drug store and told to drink all he could.
He called for lemon, and Albert soon
set it before him. Then he called for
strawberry. Albert thought the country
man was thirsty, and soon the glass with
its pink froth was handed out.
Now, Pll take vanilla, "he said quietly.
Albert was now thoroughly convinced
that the man was thirsty, and fastened to
give him another glass.
"Orange and cream this time" said
the winner OF the bet as he wiped off with
his sleeve the froth from mis- moustache.
A lbert leaned over the counter and took a
look at the thermometer. 1t was nearly
80. Then he handed the man his orange
and cream.
Got any pineapple?' asked the man.
Albert stopped chewing his gum and took
OH MS coat.
"sasperllyY' said the man as he laid
down the empty glass. Albert was
puzzled. The man said nothing more
than to ask tor the soda. He seemed to
drink 1t because he loved it, and as he
drained each glass Albert wondered if he
could stand another. When he had set
down the fourteenth glass, Albert was
nearly tired out, but imagine how he felt
when the man called for a milk shake!
The fact OF a man standing at q soda
fountain drinking dozen glasses OF soda
without showing any signs OF fatigue
soon drew a crowd. The merchant heard
of the progress his customer was making,
and hastily calculating that at the rate
he was drinking IL would foot up in ten
hours something like SIS, sent clerk
in disguise 70 the drug store to tell the
customer that his horse was running
away. In this way Albert ana the soda
fountain secured little rest.
Later in the day he returned and told
about the bet, saying that he would re-
turn some day next week and finish. He
has credit for one hour on the day, and
the merchant is charged on the soda wa
ter account with 10 glasses. Albert is
now applying for months leave OF abb

this is carved a bear, tiger, jackal, and
other animals, and on the under side is a
well executed representation of a castle,
in Italian style of architecture, upon the
dome Of which is an Indian chief, lust

closed by handsomely carved piece of

of preservation, few worm holes eaten

Bill Arp OH Music,

Music is the only thing in our nature
that is as sweet in old age as it was in
our youth. The ear is more enduring in
its enjoyments than the taste or in fact
any Of the other senses. l don't care
anything about ginger cake now, but
good music is as delightful as ever.
Madame de Stael said that music was
the only thing that was common to
angels and to men. It is 8. precious gift
to our emotional nature. Preachers
can't preach without it. Soldiers can't
fight without it. Lovers can't court
without it. 1t is alike becoming at mar
riage and at death, and graces all the
grand carniyals of nations whether civil
lied or rude. But above all it is the
charm and comfort of our homes and
fresides. "Sing TO me, mother, sing to
me-" was the first request of our sick
boy when he returned TO consciousness
from his long and feverish dream. Well,
she tried to sing to him, and did pretty
we'll considering, but when she got up
into the treble notes her voice quivered
aud broke, for there was water in her
windpipe as we'll as her eyes. | didn't
say anything then, of course, but one
day afterwards ventured to remark that
her effort reminded me of boy trying
to play tune on split goose quill. l
said that to get even, for one time when
1 was out on the piazza and tried to sing
"Rockeil in the Cradle Of the Deep"
she asked the children whether their pa
WIS singing or snoring. "Oh, music,
what is it and where does it dwell" If

me ttat l can pass away more sweetly

Augusta Excited.

AUGusrA, Ga, March S.-The arrival
to-day of couple of Chinese youths
swells the new comers OF celesiials in
Augusta up into the dozens, and the
number in Augusta into the scores.
Their occupation in Augusta is always
shopkeepcrs, and the green grocers here
say that competition with them is impos'
sible, and that if their influx is not
checked they will drive the white traders
from the town. Already the Council has
been pvtitioned TO refuse to grant licenses
to the Chinese, but this the city fathers
refused to do. Small merchants are be-
coming excited over the affair, and are
vowing to-day that if something is not
done to protect their interests, they will
take up the idea suggested in Seattle and
elsewhere West, and force the pistails
cut of the town. Probably forty stores
arc run here by Chinese, and their poru-
lalion ranks in the hundreds. Augusta
is their paradise, and they seem to thrive
here. Of late, immigration hither has
beer rapid and increased, and the little
merchants arc justly alarmed. Another
attemp. will be made before Council, and
this failing, there is nc telling what the
next step will be. Much excitement
prevails over the new arrivals and the
intelligence that fifteen or twenty head
are expected to morrow.

A S2O,OOO,OOc Gift.

Senator Leland Stanford, of California,
has decided TO increase his contributions
to the college which he founded in Cali
fornia in honor Of his dead sons memory
to the enormous sum Of 100000.
This, if true, will be the largest endow-
ment ever made to any college in this or
any other country. The Senator's gifts
to the college already aggregate one
fourth of this amount. He has no other
children, and the death of his son has
left him in condition of mind where
he thinks only of making his boys mem.
ory great. The son was promising
young man. Hehad imbibcd his fathers
grasp of great enterprises and was pre-
pairing to make himself q name and fame
when he was taken down with his fatal
illness. The scheme which he had
undertaken was to build a railroad from
Constantinople, through Turkey in Asia,
and down. the historic Valley of the
Euphrates to the Persian Gulf. Such a.
road will some day be built by England!
as military necessity, to secure the
nearest possible communication with her
possessions in India. L, would bring
London within six days of Bombay, and
revolutionize the entire Indian trade.
Senator Stanford had eyertcd his perso-
nal influence and political relations to-,
secure for his son the necessary ccnces
sons and grants from the Sultan, with
the encouragement of the English Gov
ernment and capitalists, and there was q
fair prospect that the enterprise would
have taken shape this year. After young
Stanford's death the Senator laid the
project before Gen. Grant as offering an
opening for one Of the Generals sons to
distinguish himself and make 4 fortune,
but the Generals financial troubles cau
on him before anything could be done in
the matter.
