A Good One on Sam Jones.

Rev. Sam Jones, in his lecture on
character and Characters" at Mont
eagle last summer, told the following
good joke on himself, so writes cor
respondent of the Methodits Advo-
cate:
HE told us of a character in Ken
lucky that was more than a match.
During one of his meetings, he asked
all who desired to go to heaven to
stand on their feet; apparently the
entire audience arose; however he
put the other side, and requested all
that wanted to "gO to help to stand
up. In the very midst of his cOngre-
cation a tall, lOng-haired individual,
slowly and deliberately arose to his
feet, and pointing to Mr.. Jones said :
"Parson, it pears that you and me
are the only fellers standing up"

The poor-house commissioners met
yesterday and let privately the keep
ing of it for the year 1886 to Mr.. Sam
Vanhooser, the present keeper. There
were others present for the purpose
of bidding on it had they had an OPP
portunity, and we understand it
would have been bid off for less than
S45 per capita, the amount paid Mr..
VanhOoser. 1t is not our purpose to
find fault with the commissioners,
but would it not be good idea for
them to employ keeper as the law
directs? If one man can keep it
cheaper than another, let him be en-
ployed. The law requires contrac-
tor to make bond sufficiently large
to make him do his duty. Mr.. Van
hooser has been superintendent for
FIVE years, and no one has aught to
say against his being employed an
other year, the only objection is in
the manner in which it was let out.
