Is There a Better Way?

One of the saddest mistakes of our
times is that made by Christian people
who stay away from church several
Sabbaths Immediately after death
has occurred in the family. So COM
mon thing is this that it has become
almost a universal custom. Happily
there are some noble exceptions. Say
ing nothing of the harmful influence
upon others, it is an irreparable loss to
those who need then, if ever, the con-
solutions of Gods house, and one they
can i'll afford to sustain. The church
members at such a time are moved
with kindly sympathy and are ready to
surround the sorrowing friends with
their loving presence and endeavor to
make up in some degree for the loneli-
ness they feel. The pastor is untiring
in his attentions during the previous
days or weeks of sickness and h ur of
dying-miuistering at the funeral in
the home and visiting afterwards the
bareaved family, giving freely his time
and sympathies and help, so far as lies
in his power, AS the Sabbath APP
proaches he still bears these stricken
members of his flock tenderly on his
mind and heart and plans his services
somewhat with reference to them.
He has with thoughtful care brought to
the service some special words of com
fort and promise to those whose grief
is fresh and keen. He looks down at
the family pew-but alas, it is vacant!
They are not there to receive these
comforts from the Lord at his hand or
to Join in the worship or to listen to
the prayer offered in their behalf.
Because God has called one of their
number to the higher worship in heaven
they stay away from these earthly
courts and miss the helps that are wait
ing for them here. Thus they allow the
solemn occasion to pass without avail
ing themselves of the timely spiritual
helps in their affection, or of bearing
testimony TO the value of Christian
worship as means of strength and
comfort in trial. OF course these sug-
gestions are not intended to apply to

FLORIDA FARMERS
Will Sell Their Cotton in Jackson
willie Hereafter.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, August 21.-The
Farmers Alliance Exchange Of Florida
to-day took the first step towards max
ing Jacksonville home market for Flor
ida raised cotton. Formany years Flor
ida's product has been sent to Savannah,
Brunswick and other points, but Jack
sonvillc will now handle the crops. The
first bale of short staple upland ever auc-
toned here was disposed of at 10 o'clock
this morning in front of the board of
trade building. The bale weighed $40
pounds and the cotton was Of fine
quality, and was raised by d. d. Massey,
a planter of Jefferson county, living near
Monticello. In honor Of the occasion this
bale was placed on a two-horSc wagon
and preceded by band Of musicians
was driven through the principal streets.
A great crowd gathered at the board OF
trade building where {. II. Smith, secre-
tary Of the board of trade, called for
offers. Bids began ut ten cents per
pound and after a spirited competition
the bale was finally knocked down to
John Furchgott & Co., of Jacksonville,
at seventeen cents. II will be shipped to
New York tomorrow by the Clyde line
which will take it free.

A Had woman,

New York World: The dcpravity

probably lead to another Pacific coast

Sharon Hill Terry is once morca widow.
Fortunately she lives in land where
widows are popular.
Memphis Appeal; Sarah Althea Hill
Sharon Terry is an evil genius. Two
men have died because of her, and-she is
yet Young and handsome. The killing OF
Judge David S. Terry in California is
merely one of many extraordinary Incl
dents of her balcful career.
Kansas City Globe: What about this
Sarah Althca Hill Sharon Terry woman
now? Will she promptly look about for
somebody to add another section to her
already ovcr-hyphenatcd name, or will
she go forth with the six-shootcr to do
what Terry intended to do when Naglc
got the drop on him.
Columbus Dispatch: The truth is, the
widow of Judge Terry is more dangerous
than her husband ever was, and Justice
Fields life will not be safe moment
with this woman at liberty. She ought
to be placed under restraint, and kept
there the balance of her days. She has
caused trouble enough.

OUR HAYWOOD FRIENDS.
Burning of Bethel ACaCIeIny-One
OfThelr Distresses.

We had Il visit last night from two of
our friends, Mr.. W. H. Hargrovc, and
Mr. NJ. ID. Kinsand, both of the vicinity
of SOnoma, on upper Pigeon. Mr.. Har-
grove, besides having been a useful mem
Der Of the Legislature is successful far
mer and pomologist and we regret to
learn from him that the apple crop OF
Haywood approaches very nearly a fail,
urc Mr., Kinsland tells us of the fine
wheat crop, the fine prospects of the corn
crops, and the abundance and excellence
of potatoes and cabbage.
Both have a good deal to say about
the outrageous incident of the burning OF
Bethel Academy, night or two ago. 1t
was without mistake the work of mali
cious incendiarism. The fire was discOv-
cred about s O'Clock in the evening, un-
der such circumstances as forbid the
suggestion otaCcidcnt. The school build
ing was probably the best one west OF
Ashevillc 1t was of brick, three stories
high, and was to have been arranged
after the most approved standard. 1t
was not quite finished, but would have
been within ten days The cost so far in
money was about 81 800, but probably
quite that sum was contributed by the
neighborhood in labor and material, and
the reduced cost at which both were fur
nishcd. The work Of rebuilding will
soon be undertaken. The ncighbor-
hood around SonOma is an intclli-
gent, moral and highly prosperous one.
Two new churches have recently been adj
ded, and there are now a Baptist, a
Methodist and Presbyterian church, all
built at the cost of the citizens of Sonoma
and vicinity.

GEORGIA's IMPROVEMENT.
The Tax Returns show a Pine
nOnIenaI Increase In values.

The tax returns for 1854 showed that
property had increased in value through.
out Georgia SlS,OOO,OOO. Every year
since that time the returns have shown
an increase but never has the amount for
the year 1888 been cQuallcd. This year,
however, the high water mark will be
passed and a new record established.
Captain Furlow, of the comptroller
generals office, has received up to date
the tax digcsts OF 1872 counties, and these
show an increase of $4,000, 900. Five
counties, including Fulton, remain to he
heard from, and they will bring the
record up S6,OOO.OOO more. The tax
receiver OF Fulton couty predicts that his
digest will show at least $4,000, 600 i'm
provcmcntS. And should the other four
counties have fallen of in value, the
result will have little effect on the grand
total.
The increase of 1883, which, for many
years, was quoted as something phenom-
cnal, included the improvements in rail
road property, which was a very large
factor. The $19,OOO,OO worth of inn
prOvcmcnts this year come solely from
the tax digcStS, leaving the railroads out.
Should they he included the statement
would prove that Georgia is 500, ,OOO, 900
richer than she was last year.

CHICAGO, August 21.-Thc wife of mil

has been missing since last Friday. De,
teCtives have been retained to discover
her whereabouts. They have only sue,
ceeded i'll finding that her diamonds were
sold somewhere in the east. ltis supposed
that Mrs. Mcdonald is now in Europe.
1t is being reported this evening, that she
had companion, a Catholic priest, who
it is alleged has been since unfroCked by
the church. The priest is supposed to
have had parish at south Chicago, or
some suburb in that direction. The
story is that Mrs. Mcdonald became ac-
quainted with the priest while he was on
a visit here. He became infatuated with
her, the admiration was rcciprocated,
and an clopcment was planned and ex-
ccuted. Hugh Mullancy McDOnald'S
coachman, took Mrs. Mcdonald from he
house in a carriage last Friday, but said
nothing of it until week had elapsed
when he told Mike Mcdonald, adding
that he had promised to keep the matter
secret for week.
CHICAGO, August 1.-Mike Mcdonald,
whose wife ran away with an ex-pricst,
SAID to a reporter this morning that he
had received letter from her dated
Boston, August 18th. She was still in
iatuatcd with the priest, and the only
sorrow that she expressed on account Of
her act is that her little boys are left
motherless. Mcdonald says he will ap-
ply for a divorce. He is deeply moved
by his wife's dcscrtion, and stoicaI as the
cx-gamblcris, he burstcd into tears when
talking.
Mrs. Mcdonald, who figures above,
will be remembered by many people in
this city where she spent several weeks
during the summer of 1SS6.-ED.
