Temperance Alliance.

The Giles County Temperance
Alliance met in the county court
room last Tuesday night, DR.. G. G.
Alternately, president, and Mr.. j. P.
Rankin, secretary. There was q
very good attendance, and a deep
interest manifested in the proceed
ings.
Rev. G. 2. Jackson of Olivet adj
dressed the meeting. His speech
was a very earnest and interesting
one, and the alliance by a unani-
nous vote thanked him for the
same.
Mr.. Rankin stated that it was the
intention of the executive committee
to organize a district alliance
throughout the county as soon as
possible. We are requested to say
in this connection to the friends OF
temperance it is the place of the
committee TO organize these ALLAN
ces on Sundays. They desire that
appointments be made for this pur-
pose at such times and places as
suit the people of the several COM
munities and that the secretary OF
the alliance be notified of these APP
pointments. Ali such appointments
will be met by members Of the ex-
ecutiVe committee.
Twenty-four new members were
enrolled. The Alliance adjourned
to meet Tuesday night, June 9th.

THE FAIR DIRECTORS.
a New Feature to be Introduced at
Our Next Fair.

The directors of the Giles Coun
| ty A. NJ. 81 L. S. Association met
last Saturday, President j. B. Short
presiding.
The time for entries for the colt
stakes having lapsed and NO en-
tries having been made, the ques
ton as 10 whether the time should
be extended was discussed. A mo-
ton was made to that effect, but
failed. The idea therefore Of offer
ing the colt stakes is abandoned.
Steps were taken TO introduce a
new feature at our next fair-one
which from the present indications
will be very attractive and interest
ing. A st. Louis firm made a prop
ositiOn to the directors to give, on
any day of the fair the latter might
designate, grand pyrotechnical
display, for the consideration Of
$3.50, or per cent. of the gate re-
ceipts. The discovery by which
fire works are made to produce ia
the day time effects not less pleas
ing and startling than those at night,
was made in Japan. Maj. j. b. Sta
cy, Messrs. A. j. McKimmin and A.
4. May were appointed a committee
to correspond with the St. Louis |
firm with view to contracting with |
them to give the display on the 3rd |
day of our next fair. If this show
is all that is claimed for it by tie
projectors it is certainly a good
thing and will not fail to draw a
large crowd ON that day. The di-
rectors are very favorably impressed
with the idea and il further investi-
cation does not reveal to them OBJ
ections not now seen they will
close the contract for the fire works.
The committee will report at the
next business meeting of the asso-
which will be held on S
Monday after the second Satur- /
lay in June.
At this meeting the committee L
appointed to solicit special prem '
ums will make their report and the Il
.ntire program for our next fair will Y
'e arranged. t
The association accepted with
hanks the invitation to attend the T
al becue at Bufords, and will hold Y
heir next meeting there. The bust \
ess of the association, however,
ill be transacted at the meeting on
he Monday following the day Of
ne barbecue.

sTooKBREzDERs ASSOCIATION
The Time for Entries in the Sale Ez-
tended To June l3

The regular monthly meeting o
the Giles County Stockbreeders' As
socistion was held in Mi. Stacy
office on last Saturday afternoon
Mr.. W. G. Carter, presiding. The
secretary, Mr. d. 5. Martin, being
absent Mr.. Morgan Fitzpatrick was
made secretary pro TEN.
A resolution was adopted accept
ing the invitation to attend the bar
becue to be given at Bufords on
Saturday, June 18th, and returning
the thanks of the association for the
same.
Upon motion the time for entries
In the stock sale was extended
from June 9th TO June 18th, in or
der that farmers attending the bar
becue may have an opportunity of
entering stock on that day. Entries
will certainly close on June 18th.
The sale will occur, as may be seen
by reference to an advertisement
now running in the CITIZEN, on
July 10Th.
We take this occasion to- say
again to the stockb eeders of Giles
that in order to enter stock in this
sale they must be men bers of the
stockbreeders association. There
will be q meeting Of the association
on the grounds on the day of the
barbecue, and tho.e who desire 10
become members may apply for
membership at this meeting and af-
forwards cutter what stock they
choose. One great advantage of
selling stock at these sales Is that
they are thoroughly advertised,
being circulated giving a
description of all stock that is to
be sold. Thus is it rendered al |
most certain that there will be buy
ers for almost every animal offered |
present at the sale. Mr.. W. G.
Carter stated at the meeting Satur-
Jay that the prospect for big sale
was very fattering. He said he
knew Of a number Of stockraisers
Who heretofore have sold nothing
n this way that were going to make
entries this time, and some of them
ire not as yet members of the asso-
station. The catalogues will be
published as soon as possible after
he entries are made.
The association will hold an ex-
IA meeting on Monday after the
econd Saturday in June. ,

Mr.. EDITOR This announce

Saturday, May 2, ! had the sad
pleasure OF meeting with this noble
man. He was then nearing the
dark river. His helm was steady

blissfuI eternity. | was prepared
for his spiritual condition. Only q
few days before he wrote me from
New Orleans, "My God who has
been good TO me through all the
journey Of life Will not forsake me
now. BY grace through faith l hope
soon TO be at rest forever" When
| took him by the hand l saw that
faith would soon lend its realizing

will give me grace to bear these az

The kingdom of God was within
him.
During my short stay he spoke Of

had hoped to gain strength that he
might produce some articles for

giving its young people over 10 an
iniquity for which il would not
bear reproof. Geo. w. Campbell
loved the souls of men and women.
His righteous indignation was
thoroughly aroused when he saw
upon the ballroom floor beautiful
and accomplished young ladies
whose conduct brought forth criti-
cisms too low for the siums Of New
York. He hoped by faithful warn

the bounds Of your circulation.

Another motive prompted him to
faithfulness, and straightforward

he was soon to pass away and leave
two fatherless motherless, brother
less daughters to enter soon into
society, and all that grand and
noble fatherhood in him revolt
ed against the cerruptions Of so
called good society, He has put
himself on record as a true chris
