couple, husband and wife. They quar-.
relied twenty years ago and have never
spoken to each other since. Many
attempts have been made to induce them
to break silence, but all to no avil. This
is a sad story, sut it would be more
effective as a moral if the husband and
wife were not both dumb.
= All the counties in Georgia have Sc.
lected delegates to the State Conven-
ton, which will nominate delegates to
the st. Louis Convention. Out of 127
counties only two have objected to the
Presidents tariff message. The others
specially instructed the delegates to vote
not only for President Cleveland, but for
his tariff views as we'll. Senator Colquitt
was unanimously recommended for re.
election.
- The colored teachers of Georgia met
in convention at Athens on Thursday.
Judge James S. Hook, State school COM
missioner, by appointment addressed the
the convention, and got along swimmingly
until he suggested as one field of useful
ness open to educated colored men that
they should go to Africa as missionaries.
The dissent to this suggestion was mark
ed, members interrupting to say that
they were American citizens and had
nothing to do with Africa. After the
meeting the teachers were quite emphat.
ic in declaring that there was no more
cause for suggesting that they should 60
to Africa than that the whites should.
The convention endorsed the Blair Bill.
- An Atlanta special says: Tom
Kaigler, a colored preacher, living on
Sheriff Gilmore's plantation, has created
considerable excitement among the
negroes on account of a revelation he
claims to have had. he sass that the
Lord has revealed to him that on Ger.
tail day he will carry all the negroes 10
Egypt and that he (Tom) is to be the
leader. The day and hour of departure
are set. What caused the prophecy to
be believed is that the older colored folks
say that before the war the same prophet
prophesied that the colored men were to
be set free, and that the prophecy was
literally fulfilled; hence they believe him
now, and are getting their clothing and
other things In readiness for the depar.
ture.

cleaned often. Burdett had taken out
his knife to clean his shovel when the
side of the ditch gave way, and he was
caught by the earth. The force of the

and the knife entered the mouth, cutting

him, and he died in ten minutes.
The Methodist General Convention
at New York have decided that women
are not entitled to representation in that
body. It would be just like some men
that we know of if the women should
secede and set up an independent estab.
lishment of their own. But women, as a
rule, are Christians and not politicians.
The chances are that they will stick to
the Church in spite of the Convention,
and after while, perhaps, they will "get
theirrights" without unseemly wrang'
ling or exhibiting en- unchristian bitter.
ness of spirit. We admire the spirit and
gallantry of the Michigan doctor who
said that without women one.half of
the churches would cease to exist" and
declared that sooner would be be struck
dumb rather than utter one word against
the admission of women.
