Woodville, Ga.—Pilgrim Church has started a mission at Five-mile Bend, which promises well. They have licensed a brother to preach there. Mr. Sengstacke preaches there once or twice a month. Since last March thirty-five persons have been added to the church.
Georgia.—The railroads diverging from Atlanta generously passed at reduced rates the students of Atlanta University, after Commencement, to their homes and schools in the country. This reduction on one line, and on one trip, resulted in a saving to the students of a hundred and thirty-two dollars, a sum sufficient to pay the board and tuition of a student in that institution one year and two months.
Athens, Ala.—At the July communion, six children were baptized in Trinity Congregational Church. Two cases of discipline have just been issued. Rev. Horace J. Taylor is pastor.
Nashville, Tenn.—Nathaniel Nurse, a student of Fisk University, has been appointed a city missionary.
GENERAL NOTES.
—The Atlanta Republican says that, in proportion to their means, the colored people of that city are paying a much heavier tax than the whites, while their school facilities are far inferior. It also alleges that the hostility of the mayor to the colored school is evidenced by the removal of their best teachers, and especially of those who have gone thither from the North.
—Catlin says that the Indians preserve their health by keeping their mouths shut. Some pale-faces might preserve their spiritual health by observing the same rule.—Christian at Work.
