industry and business habits, and if elect

The addresses of Revs. J. II. Gambrell
and l.. S. Piker at the Baptist church on
last Thursday night on the "Matchees
Evil were lis ened to by quite good siz-
ed audience of ladies and gentlemen. Both
speakers were eloquent and earnest, and
we believe their remarks upon the evils of
the liquor traffic did not fail to make a
strong impression upon all who heard
them.
Among our ann ouncements this week

ton for Sheriff. Capt. Cotton is well and
favorabiy known of the people of Lincoln

good citizen and one of the truest of gen
tlemen, and, if elected would make a
faithful and efficient officer.
An advertisement of Whitworth Female
College appears in another column of to-

ton. Eight scholarships, covering board,
tuition in English, Latin, French and In
strumental Music, for four years, are offer
ed at 5000 each.
Since being brought back from Texas,
Vernon Lewis has again made repeated
endeavors to escape from the county con-
tractor, Mr.. L. C. Maxwell. Last Monday
week, he managed with the assistance of
n case-knife to saw through his shackles,
and but for the prompt aud watchful sur
vereillance of the Sergeant on duty would
have escaped. He is now in double iron
and careful watch is kept on his move
ments, as he will be tried this term of
court.
Next Sunday there will be services held
in the Episcopal church, on Monticello
street, known as the Church of the Re-
deemer. The pulpit will be occupied by
Rev. Upton Bowden, of Summit, who will
regularly every fifth Sabbath, peach in
this town. The ladies of this church and
the few faithful members deserve credit in
securing at last the services of a pastor
and they have also managed with outside
help to provide themselves with a very nice
organ.
The question now is, how our Chancery
Clerk and Circuit Judge succeed in raising
such magnificent crop ofegg plantH,. when
