Trying to Convert Bad Sinner.

The colored brethren in the vicini-
ty of Dotsonville have an annual
protracted meeting IN progress which
will furnish pointers for some of our
Christian workers and orators on the
subject of dc finite aims, special pray
er and perseverance.
There is very bad negro in the
neighborhOod, whom the church I'M
dertook to bring in, in the ordinary
way, and failing, the preacher ap
pointed committee OF five to pray
for him. The committee supplicat-
ed seven days and falling the whole
church went on their knees another
week for him. But the prayers
awaited not the wicked, rebellious
niger would persist in tampering
with the hen roosts and thereby less
ening the Christmas egg crop. Then
the preacher decided on new tactics
to get ridof the sin which this bad mig
ger was sowing broadcast in the COM
munity. He appointed committee
of five of the most devout brethren
to pray him into hell, and little
later increased the committee to
seven, who are still progressing
with their work and have got the
chicken ddrkee so badly scared that
they can't get him near the church.
He is hiding out and the whole COM
munity is waiting in breathless sus-
pense to see the result.

The cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect OF ones
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when case OF full-hedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences
that neglect are fully realized. As
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages Of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Elert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

Trying to Reform.

A big hurley negro appeared at
Harry Gerhart's front door on
Seventh street yesterday evening.
Mrs. Gerhart was alone and answer
ed the bell in person. The man call,
ed for something to eat, and she ask
ed him if he did not know it was
against the law to go around the
streets begging. He said yes, he
knew that, but he could get no work
to do, and had concluded to reform,
thinking it was better to beg than to
steal. This must have been one of
the recently pardoned convicts from
Briceville, and being the first peni-
Tertiary thief ever known to set an
example of reformation, he deserves
a good deal Of consideration and en-
enlargement.
