Candy pulling.

Mrs. II. @. Drake gave the Young
Peoples Society of the Baptist Church
a candy pulling last Wednesday even
ing. 1t was delightful occasion.
Just the kind to make every one en-
10y themselves, and they all had a
good time as the hours from 8 to II
sped quickly. Pleasant conversations,
candy pulling, young folks games,
music, ETC., were enjoyable in the
extreme, and the one expression was
"Didn't we have splendid time"

Was the Universal Verdict Of
Those Present.
The Regret Of the Many That
They Did Not Know.
No Postponement on Account Of
Of the Weather.

Notwithstanding the windows of
Heaven were apparently opened wide,
and "the winds blew and the rains de-
scended," last Thursday, the evening
named for the Basket Social" we
venture TO say there was never seen
in this city more select social
gathering than this one. The young
ladies baskets were sent in early, as
was requested. and more tempting
lot could not he found. So by the
time the bel es brought their beaux Git
was leap year affair, you know,) the
committee on reception were ready to
receive them.
There were 60 or 20, all told; so it
was not difficult to pass the time, as
every taste could be gratified, and the
beauty of it was no crowd and jostle
to make one cross-grained.
Music, talk, and the various games
of the Association were INDUCED in
until 8 80, when Cuisines" was pro-
ceeded with, viz, selling the dainties
contained in the baskets, the name of
the owner not being given until after
the sale was consummated, when it
was the purchasers privilege to seek
out the young lady and ask her to
take her supper with him.
Mr.. T. j. Bigstaff kindly volunteered
to act as auctioneer for the occasion,
and whether by certain looks or signs
OF his, or the fact of the owners Civ
ing hints to would-be purchasers, we
know not, but from the way certain
baskets, that looked much like other
certain baskets, were so quickly
started and "bid up it looked like
knowledge had been impaired that
taught the boys how and when to bid.
After the saletherewas general pairing
Off" and inviting friends to join them,
and as there was ample food in every
basket for from three to five persons,
it was well probably there were not
baskets enough for all the young men
present to buy one, as much might
have been wasted.
Too much cannot be said for our
young ladies in regard to their deep
interest in the Association and do
you wonder? 1t is to benefit their
brothers and young men friends.
But they have never yet refused or
hesitated TO do anything asked, for its
help. 1t ID to be hoped with the be-
ginning of the year "woman's COM
mittee," or ladies auxiliary, will be
added to the Young Mems Christian.
After the business mems meeting
last Sunday, the Board of Directors
met, and extended a call to d. D..
Taylor, of Tennessee, to come to us as
General Secretary.
This was the result Of the meeting,
the Board having had the matter
under consideration for some days.
The talk of Mr.. Orear, as agreed
upon by all present, was one full of
good hard sense, and the way which
every father i'll our city should look at
this matter of our boys. ~ =

THE ADDRESS.

THE ADDRESS.
This, the first great labor conference Of
the United States and of the World-rep-
resentlng all divisions Of urban and rural
organized industry assembled In nation
al congress, invoking upon It's action the
blessing and protection of Almighty God,
puts forth, to and for the producers OF
this nation, this declaration Of union and
independence:
The conditions which surround us best
Justify our cooperation. We meet In the
midst Of nation brought to the verge OF
moral, political and material ruin. Cor
ruptlon dominates the ballot box, the
legislatures, the Congress, and touches
even the ermine Of the bench. The peo-
pie are demoralized. Many of the states
have been compelled to isolate the voters
at the polling places in order to prevent
universal intimidation or bribery. The
newspapers are subsidized or muzzled;
public opinion silenced; business pros
trated; our homes covered with mort
cages; labor Impoverished, and the land
concentrated in the hands Of capitalists.
The uban Workmen are denied the right
of organization for self protection; I'M
ported psuperized labor beats down their
wages; hirellng standing army, un-
recognized by our laws, Is established to
shoot them down, and they are rapidly
degenerating to European conditions.
The fruits Of the toll OF the millions are
boldly stolen to build up colossal for
tunes, unprecedented in the history Of
the world, while the posseSsOrS despise
the republic and endanger liberty. From
the same prolific womb Of governmental
injustice we breed the two great classes
-paupers and mlllionaires. The national
power to create money is appropriated to
enrich bondholders; silver, which has
been accepted as coin since the dawn Of
history, has been demonetized to add to
the purchasing power of gold by decreas-
Ing the value of all forms Of property, as
we'll as human labor; and the supply Of
currency is purposely abridged to fatten
usurers, bankrupt enterprise and enslave
industry. A vast conspiracy against man
kind has been organized on two cont
nents, and is taking possession Of the
world. If not met and oVerthrown at
once, il forebodes terrible social convul-
sions, the destruction Of civilization or
the establishment Of an absolute despot-
lsm. In this crisis Of human affairs the
Intelligent working people and producers
Of the United States have come together,
In the name of peace, order and society,
to defend liberty, prosperity and justica
We declare our union and independ-
ence. We assert our purpose to vote with
that political organization which repre-
sents our principles. We charge that
the controlling influences dominating the
old political parties have allowed the ex-
isting dreadful conditions to develope
without serious effort to restrain or pre-
vent them. Neither do they now Intend
to accomplish reform. They have agreed
together to- Ignore in the coming cam
