the telephone exchange. 49,. 1t SEEM
strange that the smallest country circui
can beat the churches of Jackson in thu
;. way of revivals, but such seems to be tht
# sad fact. -. The full moon, shining up
v on the snow, makes it almost as light az
: day. 1t would be good time to shoot
O rabbits. -. In these times a special
q effort on the part of the churches, when
:, the characters of saint and sinner are
i getting an overhauling occasionally, it
t might be well to keep IN mind the divine
l injunction "let him that is without sin
: cast the first stone" .....J. L. Ramsey
! got the old sleigh rugged up to-day and he
and his wife are skimming over the snow
in the liveliest manner. will DuHad-
, way shows fine turnout, in the way of
a large two-horse sleigh. 49, Bob Swan,
of the telephone exchange went rabbit
, hunting to-day, and tonight he says,
"Hellol where's my game?"
FRIDAY-The snow went away to-day
in rain. .Pugh is storing lake ice
to-day. 1t is perhaps twice as thick as
the ice gathered here. ...... Rev. Mr.
Reese, of the Welsh Congregational
Church, Oak Hill, was in town this morn
ing. II. G. Dyson came down on the
morning train. .....J. X. Stewart was
out "rabbiting" to-day-bringing in
supply of game this evening. -. Every
boy who throws a SNOWFALL in the street
should remember that he may possibly
be throwing it toward the calaboose... -.
The meeting at the M. E. Church prac-
tically closed tonight, as a prostrated
effort. There have been no accessions,
save one, during these meetings. 49,. Dr.
Kitchen had anew appliance made to-day
for the leg of John Kennedy, the man
whose legs were crushed by the cars.
The limbs are getting along, but the rest
lessness of the patient causes him to
move sometimes, and get the bones out
of perfect position. They'll bring John
out solid man yet. ."Humpty-
Dumpty" was billed for this place to-
night. and several parties had their mon
ey ready, but the show didn't get here.
..... An old citiZen-we will not give |
his name-was coming out of Hunsinger |
& Cos Sore late tonight, carrying a |
small paper sack full of hominy. AS he
was falling hominy, too. The two halves
of the sack took their leave of one another,
and the hominy took a scattering leave
of both. 1t would have been good place
to get up prize guessing. No living
man could have told how many hominy
grains there were there. One or two
of the firemen attempted to throw them
selves upon their privilege as firemen
to-day to keep them from going upon a
Jury in Squire Moores Court. But the
Justice convinced them that the law was
different from what they thought it was,
and they had to bring forward some bet
ter reason.
SATURDAY.-Sternberger brothers have
received beautiful cabinet photo of lit
tie Herbie Michael, their nephew. Ac- ,
the picture is neat little
poem, dedicated to the little fellow by w.
B. Herlocker, of Freeport, Ill They tell
a story of this little fellow, which shows
what vivid impressions the early Scrip i,
ture lessons have upon children. His !
had been reciting Bible stories !
to him, when one day he asked her to re- !
late another. She declined, claiming to b,
be too busy After studying the matter =,
over he exclaimed: "Well, I'll get God to
send big fish and swallow yo,G up, like
it did JONAH. There was not very j.,
large crowd in to-day. Meeting was
held tonight at the Christian Church. -.
Going down Broadway with an old cit
izen this evening, past the vacant house
oavf 70 oJz, Io1a 70 |
a widow lady, we remarked that the house
would soon begin to show signs of decay ;
oh" said he sit will soon be occupied !.
now, she will soon sell it. She only asks
about sixteen thousand dollars for it
now.". Officer Hoskins folded his
arms lovingly and tenderly about a young :
man tonight at the saloon opposite Pub :
lie Square and escorted him to the Gala
boose. The new city prison has not been ;
kept very lively since it's completion, but ,
an occasional pet drops in. .Harbar-
ger is in to-day with one of his wards, for ,
whom he was making arrangements for p.
securing home
SUNDAY-Cold and sleeting "A ,
number of the young folks arranged togo {
held back by the rough weather. We
understand that a good meeting is in
progress there. -. The special meetings I
at the M. E. Church were discontinued {
tonight. Rev. Davis preached with great
force and earnestness, but the sinner stub
bornly held his ground. 80. There were
several young people received into men,
bership in the Presbyterian Church, to- I
day.
MoNDAY.-Ed. Poor tells us he was
down to see Uncle Johnny Williams,
Commissioner, and that he is getting
some better. Mr.. W. thinks that his all
ment is only dyspepsia. -. Two more
the Christian Church to-
night, making twenty -four, thus far. ...
There is big noise in town tonight, the
two brass bands are practicing and the
G. A. r. sheepskin band, all combining
to make things merry. Meetings are
being held at half past ten in the morning
at Pleasant Grove. A citizen who was out
there to-day reports wonderfully lively
meeting -. From a discussion on the (
subject of religion, tonight, in certain
business house, we deduce, from the null
tiplicity of views, these conclusions: That
man is not saved simply by faith-a lazy
sitting and waiting for salvation to turn
up. That salvation, as well as the peace
and joy of the Christian experience, must
come through an earnest, unfaltering
trust in the Lord Jesus, and a faithful,
unselfish service of the Divine Father.
He does not save those who are too lazy
to seek religious peace, and would be too
careless and neglectful to enjoy it if they
had it. These ideas may be picked up by
the wayside and pasted in the hat. with
out danger.
