Last Sunday morning we left town in a
buggy for Salisbury to meet an engagement
to lecture there that afternoon and evening.
As we reached Van Buren, We met Squire
r. w. Smith, J. T. Lowe, and others who
insisted that we should stop a short time
with them and then be able to reach SauIs-
bury to fill the engagement. We did so,
and no one could refuse the friendly en-
treaty of such worthy people. We wor-
shipped with them at the Baptist church
near by and. heard Rev J. w. Harris, tai
ented young Baptist minister now attending
the University at Jackson. He is son of
Hardeman and his energy and gifts will
make him strong, useful man in the near
future. Success to him in his holy work.
After meeting, then dinner came on, and
before We reached town it was after three
o'clock and the congregation assembled
were about to decide not to expect me. But
Rev Messrs. Cochrane and Baskerville held
the crowd and after the exercises were
opened with the usual devotions, we spoke
short time and urged all hearers to de-
clare for temperance. Our regular Sauls-
bury correspondent in this issue gives details
of the meeting After the sermon that
night We talked on temperance and
succeeded in getting sixty-three to join
! Fine success for 80 short work.

Editors Bulletin:
Having heard so much Of the Murphy
movement recently, with a view of becom-
ing to some extent enthused myself, visited
the Club Meeting at Whiteville on Saturday
night last. The spacious Methodist church
was filed with a large and appreciativc
audience. The good people Of Whitcville
seem determined to add to the many bless
ings which surround them, that of temper
ance also. The exercises of the evening
were opened by singing and an appeal to
the throne of grace, by Dr.. J. s. Robert
son. And, by the way, Mr.. Editor, it occurs
TO INC that much of the old crusading Gle
ment 50 apparent in your order is due to the
fact of the open recognition of Christian
principles for Its basis. After PRAYER a
most interesting essay upon temperance was
read by Miss Lou Bray, the beautiful and
accomplished teacher OF the female school
of the village. A cause upheld by SO fair
an advocate cannot fail of success. Jude-
ing from the success of this experiment 1
should think it would be advantageous to
introduce this feature in all your clubs, and
By so doing give woman a chance to hurl
her whitening glances of scorn upon the
vice through the medium of the pen.
Miss Bray was followed by DR.. D. C. Day
of your town and Prof. john Hardin.
Those gentlemen occupied the attention of
the audience for an hour and a half Dr..
Robertson also favored the audience with a
few remarks. 4 call Of the house demon
strated that it was decidedly a Murphy
crowd and consequently but few accessions
to the order Mr. Buchanan in addition to
his recent matrimonial hOnors, donned the
blue ribbon of the order of knights Of
Murphy" The meeting was closed after
a spirited debate, participated IN by Mesars
ohm and jesse Hardin and Mr.. Collins or
the six months membership feature.
On Sunday attended most interesting
meeting of the same kind at Franklin In,
stitute The meeting was addressed by DR.
Day and Rev W. S. kirkpatrick. Eigh
new accessions from decidedly 6lue houst
was the result. After speaking, Sunday
school was organized, Mr. w. A. Caruthers
