services.

The quotation from Shakespeare, "1'he
evil that men do lives after them-ihe good
is oft inferred with their bones" should
be exactly reversed in the case of Dwight
l.. Moody. 1t Is doubtful whether any
other evangelist can boast of such varied
experience as Mr.. Moody can, and to
mention, even in the most sketchy man
ner, all the incidents OF his remarkable
career would require far more space than
is allotted to the average newspaper
article. He was born Feb. 5, 1887, in
Mortified, Mass. At the age Of II he
went to Boston, and there worked as
salesman for his uncle, Mr.. samuel Hol-
ton. In 1856 he went West, iull Of am
bitiOn aud desire to make his fortune. lie
obtained employment in Chicago. He
Joined the Plymouth Congregational
church, and soon became known for his
success in bringing in new members. In
Oh cag0 he started mis- first mission IN
deserted liquor saloon. TO this place the
worst characters Of the city were invited,
and the success of the scheme was with
out precedent. Nothing like it had been
heard Of before; the people became fairly
wild TO see and hear tue great evangelist.
IL has been stated that in London alone
they converted 1000 souls. THIS IS indeed
a showing OF which they can be proud,
In be jOined1S5S the Dung Mems
Christian Association of Chicago.
| He worked diligently Tor his
cause in the slums of Chicago,
and. soon gave up his position as
salesman to devote his whole time as a
missionary. In 1868 Mr.. Moody was in
stalled in his new church in Illinois
street, Chicago. He became the apostle
OF the Young Mems Christian AssOcia-
tion, and conducted a series Of revival
meetings in the principal cities of the
country. In 1862 he first became ac-
quaiuted with Ira David Sankey and their
cooperation yielded most beneticent re-
suits In 1872 Messrs. Moody and SanAey
sailed for England, and there, as well Rs
in Ireland and Scotland. conducted re-
vival exercises which were unprecedented
in the numbers OF visitors.

From tho Wdrrentoa (Ga.) CliDDer.
For long time IL has been generally
believed that the old Baptist church build
ing In WarrentOn contained memorial
stone. After the new building was cree
ted IL was decided TO investigate the mat
ter, but il was delayed from time to time
until yesterday. Early In the afternoon
a large crowd OF men, women and chill
dren gathered around the building 70 wit
ness the investigation. A large granite
stone at the northeast corner was differ
ent in appearance from the rest and was
thought 10 contain the relics o. antiquity,
and under the solemn supervision OF Rev.
Il. j. Pitcher and Deacon w. III. smith,
the work ofrem0ving the stone was begun.
while the crowd bent forward, eagle eyed
TO catch the fret glimpse OF the long hid
den treasure. Piece by piece the stones
we're dislocated until the last was re-
moved from the foundation, when the only
thing discovered was large patriarcbal
looking grub worm.

A Church Sduabble.

From the Nc DORou0h (Gd.) Weekly.
The house OF worship occupied at pres
ent by our cOlored Baptist friends will he
sold by the Sheriff next sales day to
satisfy a Fl. ia. issued in favor of Allen
Holland, eolored, to whom the church is
indebted for portion of the material
used in it's construction. Unless it is bid
off by some friend Of the church that de-
nomination will have to set up taber-
nacle elsewhere or go over to the Metho-
dists.
1t seems that the plaintiff in Fl. ia. be-
longs to a faction of the church that is in
the minority, and some time ago he was
expelled for conduct that was considered
iLdecorous and unchurchlike by the ma
jority. Each faction has its favorite
preacher, regularly chosen and called /;
but the majority, being the strongest, both
in point of ecclesiastical authority and
muscular development, have debarred the
minority from the privilege of church wor-
ship. To render this decree still more et-
feetive the majority have, on divers Occa-
siOns, nailed up the doors and windows,
thus etfectually excluding the minority
from the pleasure of cOmmuning in the
sanctuary. setting at defiance the dgni-
taries of the weaker faction and despite
fully entreating them in various ways.
Hence the suit, judgment and execution.

From tie Waynes6oro (Gd.l Free Citissn.
Mr.. E. l.. Scott, who lives about Z miles

Boyd, in a buggy with HIM TO church at
Rocky creek Sunday morning. When the
services were over and they had proceed
ed about 400 yards from the church on
their way home, the horse took fright and
ran away. In attempting to bold him
Mr.. Scott broke the bit, which left the Oc-
cupants of the buggy at the mercy Of the
frightened animal, which was row
running at the top of his speed. MT.
Scott told his sister to jump out,
which she attempted TO do, but her
foot became fastened some way
under the seat of the buggy, and she was
thrown over the back part OF the buggy,
her head and hair dragging the ground.
Mr.. Scott tried 10 loose his sisters loot,
but being unable to do SO, attempted to
raise her up. and in doing so fell out Of the
buggy. Tue lady was dragged in this

loaned the teams to MIR. Ethridge to use

Bussey claimed that he THOUGHT bis teams

the morning of the fatal ARRAY he gave DR..
Tucker an order to Mr.. Ethridge to de-

Tucker went to the mill, accompanied by
Mr.. Wright Lancaster, had lengthy con-
versation with Mr.. Ethridge, and then
went to the lot, where he found some OF

on toward Chauncey with them. After

Ira d. sankey, the reyivalist, was born
in Edinburg, Lawrence county, Pa,
Aug. %, 1870. He engaged in business in
New Castle Of that State, continuing there
from 1855 to 1871. When the Young Mems
Christian Association established a
branch at New Castle, Mr.. Sankey entered
zealOusly in the work and was chosen
President. In June, 1870, he went 10 In
dianapOls as a delegate 10 an Interna-
tiOnal Convention, and there first met Mr..
Moody. At revival meeting Mr.. San
key led the singing, and bis beautiful
voice electrified the audience as IL has
countless numbers since. From that time
the history Of Messrs. Moody and Sankey,
az far as religious work Is concerned Is
almost Identical, although for brief inter-
walls they have operated separately. After
the stirring reYivals In all the promi.
nent American cities, where as many per-
sons were turned away IS could be ac-

meetings that taxed the capacities OF the

too, they met with unprecedented success.

A PROHIBITION ELECTION.
The Liquor Men of Clarke County Will
Try, Try Again.

From the Athens Ga.) Bdnner- Waterman.
Within the past few days the anti-PrO-
hibitionists of Athens are enthused over
the statement of leading lawyer that
they can order another election on pro-
hibition within two years from the last,
by presenting a petition to the Ordinary
signed by one-tenth OF the legal voters Of
tie county. Clarke carried prohibition
under a special act that REQUIRED a Pc
Triton signed by majority of the voters
to order another election. but this lawyer
says that the passage of any general
bill includes all local acts on the
same subject, and heAce Clarke county is
now governed by the provisions OF the
general bill. Ii will be nearly year yet
before another election can be had-Feb-
ruarv, 1S87-but the antls are even now
hard at work and affirm that they have
found enough changes in the county to
carry it ''Wet." In fact one of the late
prohibition leaders, they say, has openly
come out for whisky. But they claim
most changes in the country, and saw
''wep will come into Athens way ahead.
The PTOhibitiOnists feel themselves firm
~ entreDched, and express no fear OF
the result. In fact, they don't even dis
cuss the matter. 1t is too early in the
day to venture any prediction. The At
lanta liquor men told one of our citizens
last week that if Athens was 'ETet'
town thew would bring $4,000, 600 at once
here, and also move the Atlanta brewery
to our city. We don't think there will b.
more than a hoop and a stave left OF that
old brewery if they move it to all the
places promised.

Frozen Carp.

From me Atleas tfd.) BdHRer- Watchhsan.
Last winter Mr.. Toomer got l6 little
carp from the government. and placed
them il a buried tub in his font yard,
nlled with water in which he grew pond
lilies. He fed the fsh. but never changed
the stagnant water, and they lived and
thriyed for several months, growing 10 be
nearly as long a. the hand. The water IN
the tub was several times frozen solid to
the bottom, the fish being wedged In the
hard ice, but when II melted they were
found ali right. The carp were finally all
killed by putting lime In the tub. Mr..
To0mer saws be can raise carp IN water
bucket or mudnole. IL rs not even neces-
sary TO change the water on them.
