HE'LL IN A HURRICANE.

Tuesday evening a terrible gale
swept over a part of this county just
north of Mexico. As far as we can
learn the only damage done was the
demolishing of the dwelling house on
the Qulce Daniels place and the
breaking down of Judge Shells
orchard. The wind just pulled full
grown apple trees up by the roots.
The house belonged to Brown and was
vacant; 1t was just picked up and
carried 90 yards and laid down in
ruins.

The Meeting OH Monday Night.

utcs. After song by the choir which
was present, the meeting was opened
with prayer by the Rev. DR.. Grasty.
In the absence Of other speakers, the
Rev. Mr.. Gooch upon invitation as
cepded the platform and addressed the
meeting as follows:
A night or two since Bro. Wheat
told a story about preacher BOWS
raising the devil, and | have been
thinking about IN old story which
perhaps is familiar enough of an old
Kentucky darkey named Ike, a SER
want some so oil 60 years ago of Col.
Sam Dickins- Ike vas a pious old
darkey, n that never omitted say
ing his prayers after his work was
over, although he had but one prayer
CANCEL of the Lord, come and take
old Ike home to glory" The Col.
was disposed to doubt Ike's sincerity
and one night determined to test it.
So when Ike had concluded his pray
err he knocked at Ike's door. In
mediately Ike cried out. '.Who
dar?" The Col. in Il sepulchral voice
replied: The angel Of the Lord come
to take Ike home. Ike kept silent
and the Col. knocked again, "Who
dar!" cried Ike. The angel of the
Lord come to take Ike home. Upon
which Ike responded" "Oh, God,
dat niger is not at home. He just
left" Now since this work began |
have noticed many that appeared to
be extremely anxious that it should
succeed, but who since work has COM
mcnced in carneSt-whcn we are get
ting down to buslncss-have become
very weak and very timid. Some have
not been out during the past two
weeks. My friends, it is one thing
to huzza amid victory and another to
stand firm in the midst o. battle. When
its determined what is right and what
is wrong he is a traitor that abandons
or surrendcrs the right.

rHE GREAT GRANT SHOW.


If your waking call me early, hotel clerk with

And send to me- before rse n cocktail made of gin

And wouldn't miss, for a heavy pile, the great
Grant show.
There's many a man who would If he could, and
many a man who can't,
But none who can have whatever he wants so easy
as old man Grant;
For many desire him to play that game that he
played some time ago,
And freely they scatter their plentiful cash for the
great Grant show.
There's a lot of corporations and mighty sight
Rings
Who seek to grind precious grlst oil subsidies and
things,
And they are alA ays ready, with their bluser and
their blow,
To swell the crowds that throng to see the great
Grant show.
They want central government extravagant and
strong
Wherr their affairs will all go right, whatever else
goes wrong,
And where the peoples millions shall to private
purses flow,
To help them rule the land and keep the great Grant
show.
They manage him right shrewdly, and are careful
what he drinks,
And hold him up before us as the great American
Sphinx
But of all the recent riddles there is scarcely one
lrOw,
That's palmer than the riddle of the great Grant
show.

And with my cocktail send me the breakfast bill o
fare;
For must stir at an early hour, If would surely

What string they pull tomorrow in the great Gran
show. N, Y Sun.

pantaloons. There were several witnesses, but
the evidence was rather meager, and so the ac'
cused WAS acquitted. He was told that he could
go, but he remained. His lawyer, to whose sue
cesslul defense he mainly owed his liberty hinted
that he was free 10 depart but still he stayed.
There being no more cases 10 be heard, the court
room was getting empty when the lawyer, getting
impatient, asked, with some asperity, why he
didn't CO. The innocent, injured man whispered
in his ear:
"The fact is, sir, didn't like to move until the
witnesses had left the court"
"Why so?'
Because, sir, have got on the pantaloons that
