CHAPTER XIV.
THE CHURCH OF THE BEST LlCKS.

Just as the flame OIL the fOrestick
which Ralph had watched so interse-
ly, flickered aud burned low. and just
;s Ralph with heavy but not quite
hopeless heart rose tO leave the latch
lifted and Bud re-entered.

stammered, "but you know it's hard

say when man ha'n't got boo!; words
to say 'em with. And they's some
things a man can't hardly ever say
any how to anybody"
Here Bud stopped. But Ralph
spoke in such matter-Of-cOurse way
in reply that lie felt encouraged to go
on.

Here bud stopped in fright at his
own yolubility. for he had run his
words off like piece learned by heart
rs though afraid that il he stopped lie
would not lave courage 10 go on.
Ralph said that he did not yet be-
long To- any church, and he was afraid
lie couidn't do Bud much good. But
his tone was full OF SYMPATHY. and.
what is better than sOmpaihy. a year

TIE JonesbOrO' FTog is pleased to
parade fippantly to the public gaze
certain private telegrams sent him on
the 4th inst. by the Senior Editor OF
this paper. The occasion for this
breach of etiquette seems to have
been the desire of the Flag to give
publicity to the grief and disappoint
ment of cultivated family of Vir-
sinians over the dust and ruin of their
family altar. to assist in the demOli'
ton of which was made mornings
entertainment to many persons living
in Jonesboro'. 1t seems that these
parties had never witnessed anything
half as fine and entertaining as this
rupture and ruin OF the dearest and
tenderest link in a family circle which
In their eyes had the ungOdly conse-
Grafton of culture and refinement.
According to the Flag, the Presbyte-
rian minister of that town enjoyed il
and played necessary part. Doubt
less. in his eyes. it was fit prcpara-
tion and holy discipline for the cele-
b-ation of that Holy Comrrunion of
which he may have contemplated the
administration on the Sabbath which
succeeded. The Editor plead Mason
~, and Bob Blair and other venera
bic names. Quite different was it in
Bristol, when in July last Col. Girls
ham telegraphed the writer to arrest
one A. S. on the eastern bound train.
Ii ,cas done! and the offender held
for twelve hours until the parties
came and had redress. This fellow.
whom we will call Summerfield. Il
name he assumed. took the writer
into Il dark room and plead Masolry.
Il was vain He afterwards, as We
believe. attempted our life. and again
plead Masonry. We held him until
Col. Crisham and his friends came.
Now look at this othcr picture. Col. |
Grisham received a dispatch implor-
ing him TO have a party arrested and |
was promised plenty of proof by |
next train. This plea and promise
was to him from a known Master
Mason and on authority Of Virgin
ia Mayor and Virginia Judge. 1t |
was disregarded. He who was accused |
by Mason and an officer, was allnw-
cd to cOnsumate his designs because |
he plead Masonry. Aud a Presbytc
rian minister could not refrain for ten |
hours from marrying to man, thu,
gravely accused. Tie fundly INDUCED |
and only child of Il parent believed |
20 be then on his death>bed. We
hope he can take these facts to his !
pillow and sleep over the conviction !
that he was doing Gods holy work |
under his celestial commission. 1t |
seems to be a thing conceded in |
JOnesboro' that want OF shame for |
civil statute which promotes free mar
riage in violation of more n, cient |
and decent restraints. Just as Chicago |
has promoted and gloried in free di-
vOrceS. is to be at Dned for by getting
up mob to defy redress on the part
of those who feel themselves agrieveG |
by them. We hope it may be many
n day before the town of JoneSbOro'
can thus boast Of so doubtful an
achievement, and we would rather
have permitted this one to have gone
unpublished into the mysterious fu
turc but that the Flag has seen proper
to parade our private kilograms to-
gether with this shameful event. of
which it seems SO proud, before
public already too eager to digest and
enjoy whatever brings sorrow to the
b .arts Of others.

Two locations are being talked of-on,
south Of Mouisyille on the read TO Stove,
aud the other north, on the Plain. Il
seems that the latter location Is preferable,
as it is more central. aud being accessible
to the hotels gf MOrrisville, Cady's Fail,
aud this village; bat greater reason
exists in the fact that the railroad will be
completed be ore the Fair Of 1873, aud
perhaps before the next Fair and the
ncaness Of this location TO the road. We
have conyorsed with the railroad auihori-
ties on this subject, aud they express a
willingness to leave and take passengers
during Fairs at that point, which would
not only bring many visitors TO the exhib-
itions Of the Society, but be great con-
venience. Doubtless many would take
their first ride on the Lamoille Valley
R. Il. to attend the Co. Fair. If a change
is to be made, and there now appears to
be little doubt Of that. let the latter llaee
be adopted, The subject will be fully
canvassed at the meeting, so we hope the
members will generally be there.
Owing to the storm Of Tuesday a part
Of the programme was postponed till We'd
nesday, and the awarding committees did
not report in season for the secretary to
make out his report and read it at the
Fair, so it was forwarded to be published
in this paper. Those who have been
awarded premiums can easily ascertain
the amount they will receive by referring
to the list heretofore published The
Secretary desires all to carefully examine
the list Of awards so that if any errors
have been made, they can be corrected at
