A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
Rev. and Mrs. Mckinney are Treat
ed to a Surprise Party.


ed to a Surprise Party.
Thursday, the 9th inst, being the an
niversary of the wedding of Rev. J. and
Mrs. Mckinney, the members of his
church decided to celebrate the event by
a surprise party. The arrangements,
which were kept profound secret, were
most admirably conducted by the ladies.
At 80 in the evening the invited guests
arrived at the parsonage, plentifully sup
piled with ices and cakes. Fortunately
the pastor and his amiable wife were at
home, and having received the congratu-
lations OF their guests, extended to them
a hearty welcome. After an hour or so
of social intercourse, the guests, or so
many of them as could gain admission,
vent into the library, where, at the re-
quest of the ladies', the Rev. A. E. Sed-
don presented the brides cake 10 Mrs.
Mckinney. Among other things Mr..
Seddon said the party was not only
surprise to the pastor and his wife, but
to himself also; he was rapidly gaining
personal experience of American Institu-
tions, but this was the first time he had
had the pleasure of beng present at
"surprise," and was himself surprised
at being cal ed upon to fill SO important
function. They counted themselves
happy in having pastor who not only
gave them good spiritual instruction, but
whose private life was also worthy ex-
ample to the flock. 1t need not be a
matter of surprise therefore if some of
the young men and maidens present
should follow their pastors example in
to the matrimonial region. A happy
Christian home, such as the pastors, was
the nearest approach to heaven that
could be found on earth. He had heard
the pastor say that he had been Bene-
dict eleven years. The prospect of
eleven blessed years, in such home,
with such partner, was enough to shake
the purposes of the most confirmed bach
elor. It was the improbable that was al
ways happening, and, as ''such things
did happen even in the best regulated
families" it was not impossible that ere
long some might be able to say with
Shakespere's Benedict: "When swore
I would die single I never thought I
should live to be married." In conclud-
ing Mr.. Seddon conveyed to Rev. Nc
Kinney and wife the sincerest good
wishes of the assembly, and expressed a
hope that not only eleven, but great
many more happy years might be added
to thei useful lives.
Rev. Mckinney, in reply, spoke of the
happiness of the PASTORS work, especial
ly when it lay among such warm hearted
and appreciative friends as those of the
DeLand Baptist Church. Mr.. Mckinney
also made few remarks suggested by
the Hoya blossoms with which the BRIDE s
cake was decorated. The guests then
dispersed, after spending most enioya-
BILE evening.

The school board met at the house of
the president, ]. P. Mace, on Saturday
evening. The principal business was the
election of Mrs. J. Libby as teacher for
the ensuing term, at $40 per month. The
term is fixed at six months but may be
extended to seven, depending upon the
amount of the appropriation, which will
not be known until September. The
session will begin about the first of Octo-
Der. The precise date has not been fixed.
While justifying Mr. Benjamin in
shooting his assailant as an act of self de-
fence, we do not thereby justify that per-
sonal style of journalism which attacks
private character and works men up to
the pitch of desperation, so that they are
willing, as Douglass was, to sc their
lives for the sweetness of moments s re-
venge. 1t must not be forgotten that
all this dreadful business grew out of
newspaper attacks, and the victim was
maddened by sense of real or fancied
wrongs.

The manner in which the prohibtory
law has been enforced, or rather not en-
forced in Rhode Island for the past two
years is anything but creditablc to the
State. After the law was passed many
of its ardent promoters evidently CON
sidered their work accomplished and left
the enforcement 10 look after itself For
few months there was "A decided lull in
the liquor business, saloons were closed
and some of the largest dealers left the
state, and it looked as though we were Is
have prohibition in fact as we'll rs in
name. But this Arcadiau state of things
did not last. the saloon keepers grew
bolder as they saw that the officials were
not proceeding against them with much
spirit. and gradually all that ever did
sell were hard at it again, re-cnlor'ed 10y
hundreds of kitchen bar room recruits.
The spotter system was tried with no
other result than to disgust people with
its workings. A change was made in
the head of the state police and spasmo-
die raiding took the place of spotting.
One proved about rs effective as the
ether. And so the thing has driftcd
along in the most inefficient and unbusi-
nesslike way. A few liquor dealers have
been sent tC Cranston, but an appalling
number of cases have been sidc-tr tracked
in the courts. The Democratic party
are outspoken in its advocacy of repeal
and license, and the Republican party
never shown any remarkable anxiety to
have the law enforced. and now Repub-
lican Assembly vote 10 resubmit the
amendment TO the people. The great
majority of the "three fuhs" Of the
people who voted for prohibition have
not lifted their hands towards making the
law effective and it is no wonder that
prohibition is farce in Rhode Island.

A reporter who went down to Braid

the destitution of the miners tells
story on an old Scotch lady living in

the yarn from a stOrekeopcr Il seems
this old lady had not long ago left the
land of the heather and was not fully
up in the peculiar ways Of the Amcri-
cans. One day at a store she noticed
some string beansexposcd llr sale and
she said il was shame io pick them
before they were ripe.
The groceryman explained TO her
that the beans were very fine eating,
indeed. lie urged her TO buy some,
at the same time giving her some in
structions about preparing them. He
Uold her she must string them and
then boil them until soft and tender.
The old lady, anxious to learn all she
could Of the ways of the land Of her
adoption. finally took mess home.
Some hours later a neighbor "a wo-
mani came in and found the old lady
busy in the preparations for her noon
day meal. What she saw caused her
to burst out laughing. There the old
lady sat with the beans in her lap,
needle and thread in her hand, string
ing the beans. In few moments the
neighbor had shown the old Scotch
woman how to string beans, but the
joke was too good 20 keep and the
