a beautiful service at M. E. Church ts
night, consisting of Bible reading, song
and prayers. w. M. johnson led tn
singing, and Mrs. Benton played the OF
gan. 49,. Institute so crowded to-nigh
that many were unable to gain admis
sion. The Little 10 Band serenade'
the bride and groom at the residence o

DUNCAN. The boys were handsomel.
treated at both places.
THURsDAY-Quite cold, and showing
slightly. "A man was in town yester
day tryingto rent room to start gilt
edge saloon, but found too many consci
entious scruples on the part of property
owners - The members of the Silver
Cornet Band this morning placed in
] Washams show-window their piano to be
awarded as prize at their concert in
March. 1t is a pretty instrument. Met
a man to-day who, day before yesterday
was complaining of the heat To-day he
was diving savagely into the face of a
northeast wind, trying to make shelter
before freezing. Mrs. Susan Titus, OF
Coalton, called at this Office to-day. w
T. Price and family, Mr.. John Motz, Mrs
Chas. Rhodes, Mrs. j. Fl. Mackley and
daughter, Miss Laura, went to Samson
vile to spend the day with the family of
Joseph Shropshire, and report a splendid
time, and a dinner such as only Mrs.
Shropshire can get up. There was no
mishap on the journey. save that the
hostess had lain nice large picked pigs
foot on the table for one of the ladies to
take home with her, and when the train
whistled they rushed off to the depot, and
the poor woman forgot her favorite lunch.
It was merry crowd. and they enjoyed a
happy New Year. -. The young folks
are having ball at the old City Hail..
The Court House is so crowded tonight
that standing-room is out of the question.
The increasing interest in the Institute
renders the Court Room too small for the
crowd.
FRIDAY.-Co1d wind .... VIM. A. Per-
sons called. ..... The Institute this after
noon held in Jones Hall. -. Misses Allie
Stevenson and Picnic Moore returned to-
day to their homes in Clifton, West Va.
Miss Stevenson is a daughter of our for
mer townsman Dave Stevenson. -. The
exercises tonight at the Reunion, prove
that even the new hall cannot hold as
large congregation rs can be gathered
in Jackson. Boys are skating on the
ponds. Atkinson, in his speech on
"woman's rights" tonight said that
70 hn
ming and make fire." Then she certain
ly has right to eat all the breakfast-it
would be pity to wake the poor slum-
bering lord to breakfast. .....T The Mar
tin folks have moved back to their old
aeme, the one recently damaged by fire on
Portsmouth Street. -. DR.. A. G. Byers,
who leetured at the Institute here, told,
in his conversations at the hotel, some
humorous anecdotes of his early expert
ences as Minister. Among others, that |
of a family in certain county in Southern |
Ohio: The Dr. was preaching one Sunday |
when woman brought in very dirty |
boy. This urchin behaved |
so unseemly that the Minister at once
took dislike to him. Every act of the
boy looked dirty, and was dirty. The
having occasion to remain over
night, was Mortified to be located in the
same shanty with the dirty boy. They |
went to table, but the Minister could see |
nothing that he was not certain but the |
boy might have handled, except some
mackerel'and boiled potatoes. He began
to partake literally of these, when the
boy began to grab indiscriminately at |
on the table. An old lady at |
the table inquired: "What is the matter |
with that boy-he seems to want every |
thing?" "Oh, 1 don't know" replied the
mother, when I was bringin' them mack
erel home yisterdy he aoouzd Keep h0aadli1'
EN-, in spite of all 1 could do" That set
tied it for the Minister, for he knew that
that boys touch would spoil even mack
erel.
SATURDAY.-The last of the attendants
at the Institute left town. Elder Pagan
arrived, and preached at M. E. Church.
Met Harbarger on the street. He is
not SO enthusiastic over his large and
rapidly increasing crowd at the Infirm-
ary, as might be expected. Only thsrtee1a
have entered the Infirmary this aOeek.
The infortunates who were recently burn
ed out on Bridge Street are now in the
Inlirmary. A number of these are child
ren. The total number now in the In
firmary is eighty. .......A fine specimen
of fancy balancing was that given by the
two drunk men who passed out Ports
mouth Street on horseback this evening.
1t was all the horses could do to keep
under the men, who were loudly pro-
claiming to each other what good men"
they were. Uncle Davidson Rice re-
joices that Death has been merciful to
him this winter, as he has not been COM
PEELED to get out in the freezing cold once
to prepare graves. ..... John M. Smith is
putting out bills again for his stock sales.
These take place the first Saturday in
every month. Several boys skated as
far up the creek as the Infirmary farm.
THE 6. A. r. drum corps practicing
at Mr.. Gray's Foundry. Mr.. Gray is an
excellent snare-drummer, and is teaching
the boys how to handle their new drums.
SUNDAY.-A beautiful day, causing the
heart to rejoice, as much in the beauty of
the day, as because it is Gods day. 1t is
day radiant with sunshine, and pleasant
with balmy breezes. Rev. F. S. Davis
was to have gone to Hamden last night,
to hold quarterly meeting to-day, but
missed the train last night. -. An i'm
mense congregation greeted Elder Pagan
at the M. E. Church tonight. The new
year shows an increased interest in Sab
bath School work. This is good indica-
tion, and every effort should be made on
the part of parents and others, to build
up the Schools.
