Harbin, and daughter of Mrs. Harriett Pritohard, died at her home in Centerville Township, Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock.

Mrs. Harbin was born and reared and had always lived in the community where she died, and was greatly beloved by all of her friends and acquaintances. She was a most excellent Christian woman, having been a faithful member of New Prospeot Baptist Church since her girlhood. As a wife, a mother and a neighbor, she dis? charged her duties faithfully, and when the summons of death came she was pre? pared to enter that heaven of rest where sorrow and sickness is never known. She was the mother of eleven children, nine of whom survive her. The bereaved husband and children have many sympathies in their sorrow. Her remains will be inter? red today in the New Prospect Church yard. . | Neal's Creek Brieflets.

With many it has been a year of happiness, while with others it has dragged heavily. Now is a splendid time for each of us to take a retrospective view and profit by the short comings and mis? takes which we have all more or less made, frame a good set of resolutions for tbe new year, and ask divine help to carry them out. We wish every reader of the Intelli? gencer a merry Christmas, a prosperous new year, and a final entrance into the realm of eternal bliss. Burke.

Wheat is being put in the soil with a rig back-"cig jack nig " But that ien't all. The collectors are thick as rabbits, and about asbby. Everybody talks about be iug busted. People soared too high in tbe spring and summer, and everybody and everything collapsed at ones and tbe same time, and great was the fall. But I guess I will have a good time anyhow, simply because everybody is going to the factory, and I will be ruler, for a time. Me and my old 'oman are trying to economize We have reduced our family expenses considerably, and for the benefit of those who contemplate doing likewise, I will give them a sketch of onr plan. We drink 'tater coffee, have two in the hill, and a few colossangers for breakfast, have a few peas and 'possum for dinner, and drink water for supper. Now I wish to say right heYe that I am very fond of fine eatables, and would fare sumptuously every day should I have my way, but, of course, my ole 'oman will out, for when she says go, I goeth. and to come, I cometb, and there? from I bide my time. But I will not detain your many readers with such economy as I choose, but will hasten on ?With my dots, for I see tbe "ole 'oman" approaching at a rapid rate with the broom? stick, for I forgot to feed the pigs.

Mr. Editor : Let me call your atten? tion to a recent case before the muniolpal court of Atlanta. It was the picture of Antony and Cleopatra posted upon the walls of the city, against which certain ministers of the city protested as inde? cent. To test the matter, Chief Conolly made a case of it before the court. It was finally thrown ont of court as "ugly but not bad," and tbe note of triumph now was that "the glaring figures of pretty women can be spread broadcast on the streets of Atlanta." So we now under? stand that the pretty women of the South of this 20th century can present their flaring figures on our streets as scantily dressed as tbe infamous Cleopatra, volup? tuously reclining, and it will be only "ugly not bad." And yet the story of Antony and Cleo Eatra is one of the most "ugly and bad" oth, on record, and posted in history to warn the men and women of all gen? erations against adultery, suicide and shame. The fascinating Queen of Egypt, caused her servant, Apolloduras, to take her wrapt in a course carpet before tbe vic? torious Julius Csesar, now in Alexandria, When unwrapped she suddenly stood before him as an apparition of beauty, and by her eloquence and charms, capti? vated the Conqueror. A winter of dis? graceful revelry succeeded, and in due time Coesarion is born. Ctosar carries her to Rome and domesticates her and the boy in a palace on the Tiber. He is soon after assassinated in the Senate. James Antony Froude endeavors to vindicate the character of Ctesar from the scandal, but concurrent history is against him. At Csesar's death the Triumvirate sprung into existence. Antony, Pompey | and Augustus divide the Empire do tween them. Cleopatra retires to Egypt, Antony follows her, deserting his wife Fnlvia. He left Cleopatria raging in Egypt and married Octavia, living with her lor a time in Athens, divorced Octa? via and returned to the victorious Cleo? patra, indulged in ignominious revels until Octavius appeared at the gate?, stabbed himself and died. His ignomin? ious companion poisoned herself and died. And is it so, Mr. Editor that we are to bo swept into a legitimated appreciation of the grossest case of adultery Known to man by the fascination of far off antiquity and celebrated names? Are we to be taught morals through that very common perversion of the pictorial art which dresses up voluptuousness and disgrace in bewitching and attractive forms ? A lolling Cleopatra scantily clothed and an infamous Antony standing in a short tunic, like an undershirt, as one of tbe witnesses before the Court testifies ? Is it any wonder that certain preachers of righteousness, truth and charity, should have protested against such piotures upon their walls? "Ugly but notb&d." Why, sir, what can be ugly in this connection which is not bad ? It was plead that Antony's legs were no more suggestion of indecent thought than the lino legs of a horse. The fine limbs of a horse do not appeal to the eenso of chastity. And what business had An? tony's bare-legs over bore in a Christian country ? What business were his legs after then ? What effect had the picture upon you ? it was asked of the witness. What effect ? Can that insidious tracery of thought which is scarcely perceived, and scarcely acknowledged to the individual consci? ence itself, be analyzed by a court to make a palpable offence until it bas matured into clandestine disaster ? and which is diagnosed only on the face of corrupt society ? a state of things to be correct? ed only by an early anticipation of it and by the prevention of ugly and bad pic? tures 1 It is a fact very significant of tbe times, that much of our modern theatrics turn upon tbe sexual relations and that our people are presented with pictures calcu? lated to bewitch them with approaches and suggestions to the most powerful and at the same time the most demoralizing of all the passions. See how this abuse of tbe most delicate and refining of rela? tions dominates the earth in the unfath? omable polygamies of the East, stupefy? ing and damning whole nations. The most elevating sensibility bestowed on men and women, perverted into the most degrading and brutalizing of passions. Does it not become us, a Christian people, advanced in highest civilization, to quar? antine an infection that has brought down and is bringing down whole nations into ruin ? And should not city fathers throw around the yonng, the women and chil? dren of their communities a protection against which the community cannot protect itself? More than a year ago, a plea was made personally before the former City Coun? cil of Anderson against certain pictures J>osted upon the walls of tbe city, deemed ndelicate and demoralizing, and a quest was made to take some action upoi. it. The plea was urged that there was ordinance to authorize such action and that tbe pictures in question were not discovered to be offensive. It was plead on tbe contrary that even if said pictu were not discovered to be offensive morals, their main offense was in their approaches to gross indecency, and that their suggestive characters was gross indecency veiled. That this was their principal danger, for a gross exhibition would disgust and repel. The Atlanta case suggests the duty municipal ? governments to take over sight of all such matters as tend to de moralize a community. We don't want the money made by allowing unbecom ing: pictures upon tbe walls of tbe city We don't wish to sell virtue at all. We don't want naked children on tbe streets in picture. They are not allowed in par lors or churches, or even in the parloi let-down?the theatre. We confess to be ing too modern to want a Greek slave, a naked Paris and Helen. It was and tbe taste of unchristianized and heathen nations IDuO years ago. We confess some right modern apprehension as I the prevailing tendency of our pictorial | literature in theatrics and books, as well as on tbe walls of our cities. Must we go back to nudity merely because Phydi and Praxitees became celebrated carving tbe human form ? The race has learned by this time to dress itself. Even a New Hebrides woman puts on a grass shirt. We protest agaist nudity, semi-nudi and all that sort of picturing which tends to degrade and destroy the instinct chastity. We are Christians, held to the highest order of purity in conversation, in manners, in dress and in art, and bound to repudiate all snch glaring bur lesque and questionable presentations carry their injurious influence through insinuations and suggestions.
