McMaster's History.
Two young men began the work in
the simmer OF 1893. They we're broth
ers, preachers, and on their way across
the pine barrens to Ohio, but turned
aside to be present at sacramental
solemnity on Red River. The people
were accustomed to gather at such
times on q Friday, and by lasting, and
praying. and singing, and hearing SER
mons. prepare themselves for the re-
ceptiOn OF the sacrament on SUNDAY.
At the Red River meeting the broth
ers were asked TO preach, and one did
so with astonishing fervOF. As he
spoke the people we're deeply moved,
tears ran streaming down their faces,
and one, a woman, far in the rear OF
the house, broke through order and
began to shout. For two hours after
the regular preachers had gone the
crowd fingered, and were loath to de-
part. While they tarried one of the
brothers was irresistibly compelled to
preach. He rose and told them he
felt called to preach; that he could not
be silent. The words which then fell
from his lips aroused the people before
him to "pungent sense ofsin." Again
and again the woman shouted, and
would not be silent. He started to go
to her. The crowd begged him to
turn back. Something within him
urged him on, and he went through
the house shouting and exhorting and
praising God. In a moment the floor,
to use his own words, was covered
Al Il. r..
CIV were terrible to hear Some found
forgiveness, but many went away @spir-
itually wounded" and suffered unut-
terable agony of soul. Nothing could
allay the excitement. Every settle
ment along the Green River and the
Cumberland was full of religious fer
vor. Men fitted their wagons with
beds and provisions, and travelled fifty
miles to camp upon the ground and
hear him preach. The idea was new,
hundreds adopted it and camp meet
ings began. At the Cane Ridge meet
ing 10000 were encamped.r The ex-
element surpassed anything that had
been known. Men who came to scott
remained to preach. All day and all
night the crowd swarmeG to and fro
from preacher to preacher, singing,
shouting, laughing, now rushing off to
listen to some new exhorter who had
climbed upon a stump, now gathering
around some unfortunate who, in their
peculiar language, was spiritually
slain" Soon men and women fell in
such numbers that it became impossi-
BILE for the multitude to move without
trampling them, and they were hurried
to the meeting house. Atno time was
the floor less than half covered. Some
lay quiet, unable to move or speak
Some talked, but could not move.
Some beat the floor with their heels.
Some shrieking in agony, bounded
about, it is said, like live fish out of
water. Many lay down and rolled
over for hours at a time. Others
rushed wildly over the stumps and
benches, and then plunged, shouting
"Lost lost!" into the forest.

0 Weary Watcherl

A weary and discouraged woman,
after struggling all day with contrary
winds and tides, came to her home,
and fiinging herself into chair, said :
Every thing looks dark, dark
"Why don't you turn your face to
the light, aunty dear ?" said little
niece who was standing near.
The words were a message from on
high, and the weary eyes were turned
toward Him who is the light and the
life of men, and in whose light alone
we see light
Turn your face to the light" o wea-

longed, and struggled in the darkness
without avail; now turn your glance

state Grange Meeting-The Masters Ad-
dress.
Humphreys, County News

The state grange in session here last
week, adjourned Thursday night. The
attendance, though not large was COM
posed of representative farmers, some
of the widely known. Reports of the
officers showed that the organization
was in good condition and a better and
more hopeful feeling existing IN sub
ordinate lodges than for sometime
past Some changes were made in
the organic law and resolutions adopt
ed looking alone to benefit the order
and protect its interest, just as similar
organizations and trades unions are
protected in like manner. The Hon.
L. B. Harwell of Giles county was
elected member of the Executive
committee of the state. Election of
officers of the state grange, are only
held bienially, therefore, no other cleo
ton was held. Humboldt was chosen
as the place of meeting in 1887.

Apropos of Miss Cleveland, society

tinkling cymbals indispensing his per-

citation with cultured people-men

who have predominated and held high
carnival at the White House for many

The New York World, discussing
the possibility of President Cleveland
visiting Ohio before the election, says
IF President Cleveland should go to
Ohio next month to help Judge Hoad-
ly, it is to be hoped that he will be in
troduced to the Democratic masses by
Allan G. Thurman. Although too old
to serve under this agile administra-
ton, Thurman is one of the most act
i've men in Ohio. He knows every
body, and is very popular. Notwith-
standing his age, which is something
less than that of the present Minister
to France, he will make several speech
es during the campaign, and will do
all, as far as lies i'll his power, to keep
the Democratic standard from being
trailed in the dust"

LOCK OUT FOR HIM.
A Slick Confidence Negro on His Travels
Working the Missionary Racket.
Memphis Avalanche


Some smart negro sharpers, from
northern attitudes, have been working
the gullible colored population in this
neighborhood lately with new racket
The plan is to circulate petition in
behalf of some colored church in St
Louis or elsewhere and to solicit cash
subscriptions. The scheme does not
work well with the colored brothers.
but the sisters plank up their nickels
and quarters with amazing liberahty.
James Jefferson, a heavy set negro of
brown complexion, short neck, and a
round face embellished by a moustache
and thin chin whiskers, is one of the
bright intellects who has Caught on"
to this scheme. He appeared in the
city court yesterday arrayed in a fash
ionable Prince Albert coat, cut in cler-
ical fashion, dark brown pants, and
the regulation stiff white COLLAR In
his hand he held tall silk hat The
charge was @yagrancy." Jefferson pro-
duced credentials issued at Helena,
authorizing him to preach, and pre-
tended that he was collecting funds for
the erection of a church in St, Louis.
As will appear in the city court report,
his honor ordered him to leave town
within "A hours. Jefferson is the in
dividual who complained at the station
house Sunday that he had lost thou
sand dollars. He is well known in St.
Louis, and the police OF that city class
him as an expert confidence man. He
will doubtless attempt to victimize
some of our neighboring towns. Look
out for him.

balls are made and sold in this country
every year. First there is little hard
rubber ball, and around that the wrap.
per winds 4 strong, blue coarse yarn
This is firmly wrapped with. Venetian
yarn. The balls are then placed in
ovens until nh the moisture is taken
out After this they are coated with
cement. Then comes fine blue yarn
and around the whole is placed fine

Hard knocks cannot disturb the bal
as now made, because the cement holds
it.
A little machine wraps % ounces o
the American Association balls in i

certain patrol limits, including the
business core of the city in which all
the saloons there must be established,

close police inspection. AS to the rest
of the city, including the main resident
portion OF the city, where probably
nine-tentas of the inhabitants have
