some fifty ladies being present, and everybody
enjoyed themselves as only the good people OF
Jackson know how to enjoy themselves. One
grand feature of the meeting was the large at
| tendance of young ladies. We maintain that
| the prettiest picture of humanity is Christian
young lady-one who starts in life with the love
of God, the purity of Heaven, in her heart, en-
riching her soul and crowning her life with
| glory-and such young ladies were in attend
ance, to-day, in large numbers. Could the
'King of the Cannibal Islands" have been sit
uated beneath the beautiful shade trees at the
Long residence, enj Dying feast of substantials
and delicacies, carried to him by such pretty
specimens of womanhood as Misses Grace and
Stella Long and Helen Owens, he would
doubtless have exclaim ed, i'll the dialect of his
nature swamps: almost thou persuadest me
to be Christian" There is not, perhaps, a
more beautiful place in all Jackson County than
the Long farm. Mr.. L. having been in town for
some time, the farm is in need of trimming up
and putting in shape, but it is just such place
as man would naturally select in which to live
and die at peace with all the world. We con-
gratulate "Uncle Johp," and "Aunt Cornelia,"
upon the success of this, one of the grandest
meetings of the Society.
