from Gainesville, Ga, dated August 81,
says: "Rev. F. C. Mcconnell, pastor of
the First Baptist Church, of Gainesville,
has rendered his resignation and it has
been accepted. He has been elected as
Assistant Secretary of the Board of Home
Missions, which will require all of his
time and attention. 1t now looks as if
Rev. A. A. Marshall, of Crystal Springs,
Ga, will be called 10 ths pastorate of the
Church. MIR. Marshall was pastor of the
Church for seven years aud resigned to
accept a call by the Baptist Church, OF
Anderson, s. c., some years ago. Mr.
Marshall is an able preacher Of great suav-
ity of manners, and was universally loved
by not only the members OF his own
Church but by the people generally"
Sometimes laughable slips of the tongue
happen that are amusing to the auditors
but not to the one whose tongue is re.
sponsible for the slip. An orator once
exclaimed, "He jests at wounds who
never felt scar" and young lady was
once reciting the famous poem "Curfew
shall not ring tonight" and when she
came to the part where the maiden OF the
poem was told, $50, your lover lives,"
her tongue tangled and she made Crom-
we'll say, "Go. your liver loves" At the
last Court held here Clerk Of Court Wat
kius read q bill from the Grand Jury
signed J. L. Eskew, Foreman, u. L.
Foreman, Eskew," and the "sudible
smile" produced by the amusing lapsus
lingue made the gentleman conscious OF
the slip Of the "unruly member" and he
Immediately read the signature correctly.
From the Greenville Ne,Ds we clip the
following, and it is with pleasure that we
note the establishment of such industries
in our section Of country: &c. B. Owens
and Thos. j. Martin are prosperous mer-
chants at Pslzer They have formed
partnership in new line of business for
that town-canning vegetables and fruits,
and will push the work for all it is worth.
They have large and commodious build
ing on the farm of Mr.. Owens, about one
mile from Pelzer, in which they will en-
ploy twenty-five operatives for the pres
ent. They have secured experienced men
to superlntend each branch Of the busi-
ness, which is guarantee that the goods
they turn out will be equal to the best and
greatly superior to the general run of
canned goods. Every modern appliance
known to the business will be used, and
only pure, fresh, ripe fruit and vegetables
will be put up. For this season they will
can peaches, tomatoes and ckra. During
this season they expect to put up three
thousand dozen cans Of peaches, the same
number of tomatoes and taree hundred
dozen tomatoes and okra mixed. This is
not an experiment, but permanent In
dustry. Having plenty of capital, they
expect to gradually increase the volume
Of business by adding other fruits and veg
etables."
