The general account is a boiled down state
ment of its entire operati ons. and, in 1t, enter
the sum of all its receipts and the sum of all
its purchases of stocks bonds and other prop
erty at their cost. when made from time to
time. It thus happens that an apparent sur
plus is shown of q little over Sl2 10000, This
takes no account of changes of values, which
must have been considerable, and q close in
Epection Of the list will show that the changes
must have averaged pretty severe loss. This
is further indicated by the fact that on the cost
of over SlO9 900 O0O, the incomes from the secur-
ities (bonds chiefly is only 81, ,l7S.604 AZ. A
large number not only yield nothing, but are
severe charge on the company. On the other
hand, inasmuch as some are oldfashioned Z per
cent securities, they are above cost, and bring
up the average to nearly per cent income.
DO not believe, however. that the list will bring
cost and it would take but little scaling down
to wipe out vital share of the Sl2 90, 900 sur
plus. 1t Is only bookkeeping surplus, winch

In statement No. we have a condensed ex-
hibit of the way in which the surplus of 1883 is
arrived at 1t is that enormous SIG 100000 sur
plus which Mr.. Carnegie denOunces so severely.
BY statement No. 2 we see that the surplus of
1857 has been increased in 1883. 81, ,614 40 81.

If the board will let me influence them can
show them how to spend two or three times the
above saving in our two cities and vicinity, and

A PRUDENTIAL CASH RESERVE.

As to the other cash on hand-less than six
millions-no prudent business man will say
that it is too much, or out of proportion, in
view of the immensity of the operations it ia
cilitates and protects. Every good business man
knows the advantage Of an abundant cash cap
itaI 1t was the policy of one of the most noted
manufacturers of Pittsburg to first build up a
large cash reserve in any new enterprise he en-
gagged in before allowing any dividends to be
made and distracted from the concern. 1t thus
happened that he made his partners rich, and
they mad something handsome to close out
with, when otherwise il would have been
mostly if not entirely, frittered away.
From statement No 3 we further learn that,
after deducting cash, the general surplus is

CROP PROSPECTS.

The farmer ought to feel Especially CRATE
full to the Giver of all good for this year S
bountiful crop prospects. The corn crop
will be the largest harvested in Cobb
county since the war. The wheat and oat
crop has turned out we'll. The cotton
promises a bountiful yield. The fruit crop
Of peaches, apples, pears, ect., was never
larger-the branches of the trees literally
breaking with their heavy load of fruit
The melon crop is extra fine and bountiful.
The grape yield could not be any better
And what better material blessings could
the farmer ask? They have bought
economically and labored hard, ana the
Lord has blessed their labor. The farm
ought to be self>sustaining, and we are
glad to see this long stride towards it.
Let the Farmers Alliance insist on big
food crops, buy as little as possible and
save all that they can, and they will com e
oat on top.

The third quarterly meeting of the Cobb
County Agricultural Society meets with
Mars Hill club on Friday before the third
Sunday August 10th 1889. The meeting
was postponed one week on account Of
protracted meeting at Mars Hill church.
This will be meeting of interest as all
the clubs will make a display of stock and
agricultural products on the ground that
day. Let all interested attend. The com.
mittee Of arrangements has not fully de.
cided yet as to whether they would have
the baby show on that day. Be on the

tice had been done them when the Asso.
citation said they had been baptising upon
profession of knovledge-that it was
only upon profession of faith.
AS the Association, it was stated, did
wish to do those churches any injustice,
while it was we'll known that Rev Martin
and his followers had been preaching the
doctrine of assurance in way not usual
among Baptists, yet the majority to be on
the safe side voluntarily modified their
resolution SO that it substantially read as
follows:
We deplore the agitation that has
grown out Of certain meetings recently
held IN our midst, and condemn the prac.
tice of some churches in rebaptising a
portion of their members, they having once
been baptised upon profession of faith,
said practice is contrary to Baptist usage
and unscriptural."
There was considerable stir over the
speech otRev A B Vaughan. He said the
time had come for plain language and he
proposed to give it, and he did. It was
plain language administered in strong
doses.
The delegates representing the MONDAY,
Woodstock and Canton churches asked to
withdraw from the Association, which was
granted. The delegates will report their
action to their churches for confirmation
and at the next annual meeting of the
Association atAcworth, Ga, these three
churches will decide whether they will
withdraw permanently from the Associa-
ton or not.
Jabez Gault, clerk. declined to take the
$40 voted him to have the minutes printed
and said he preferred to do without
compensation but would go with his brother
delegates who had withdrawn. Mr. Lem
Litchfeld, of Acworth, was then elected
clerk, and voted the ten dollars to have the
minutes printed. By request of Mr. Lem
Litchfeld, Mr. Gault read the minutes kept
by him up to that time. The association

A:Baptist brother says, "Martinism is
meeting with cold reception and its days
will be short. DR. Tucker says its success
means the destruction OF our denomina~
ton, and very large portion of Georgia
Baptists agree with him. Those who have
fully identified themselves with Martin
will probably share the doom which seems
impending him"
Certainly the sensation of the day in
this section is Martinism. The whole
affair is very unfortunate for the harmony
unity and prosperity of the Baptist demons
ination.
