SAN JONES
Entertained His Audience at the Opera
house Last Night with Wit.
Wisdom and Worth.

| Ilne BlllH today. His lecture las
night at the Onera-house has sus
tanned his reputation as n speaker
and as fearless man. TO say thai
he is a man OF unusual power we are
I satisfied will meet with the endorse
ment of his large audience at the
Opera-house last night. There were
at least 1000 souls assembled to heal
him, and he kept his hearers closely
with him throughout his lecture OF
| two hours. 1t is remarkable how
he can so forcibly abuse people and
at the same time win their admira-
ton. He possesses the power OF am
orator to such an extent that he
keeps his audience inupr0arousl laugh
ter according to his pleasure and
even before they are aware of it their
eyes are filled with tears. This abil-
ity to handle the passions of people
is characteristic possessed by few
men. He says some hard things, of
course he does, but the good things
he repeats so far overbalances the
rough that there is left not a shadow
OF complaint. Ii we were to draw
the line closely we would say the
subject OF his lecture should beadyer-
tised "Home Life instead of "Saw-
ciety"
lis true he discusses our social
surroundings, bat the general drift of
his lecture takes its rise in the hom-
life of a girl or boy and pursues this
course throughout manhood and
womanhood. According to our YER
sion Of his lecture, we think that
when he remarked that "when Dem
oerats and Republicans cuss and
abuse each other the Third Party in
variably plays the fool. he came
nearer getting into his real sphere
than at any other time throughout
his lecture. We readily confess that
our respect for ministers of the gospel
and the cause they champion allows
nor permits the invasion OF that
sacred territory by speaker OF i'll
chosen words. However. we must
not discuss Sam Jones as a preacher.
but as lecturer, for only as such we
heard him last night, and as a lee
turer we must pronounce him Il de
cided success. When he comes this
way next July, as Il preacher, then
we will ventilate our opinion con
corning him in that line.
NOTES.

last night that he was

cupied the right wing of the stage.

Prof. Junius Jordan, in IA few well
chosen words, introduced Rev Sam
Jones to the audience.
Sam Jones hit the preachers as
hard as any one else. He advised
them to talk more of this life than of
the New Jerusalem.
Sam said if he was running a soap
factory in he'll and an old whisky
oum should turn up he would tell
lim to pass on.

CHANCERY COURT.

The question is frequently asked,
when will Chancery Court meet?
We answer this question by say
ing that the Court meets or con-
venes on the 4th Monday in May
and December each year, there be-
ing only two terms a year OF this
Court. Hence the next term Will
begin on the 4th Monday in next
month, when Judge Alternately
will be on hand as usual to hold
his Court.
Judge Alternately is now serv-
ing his first term as Chancellor
and has never missed a court at
this place since his election. He
is a thorough Democrat, high
toned. Conscientious gentleman.
And though as yet has no oppo-
sition, will be subject to the DEM
ocratic convention that meets in
Lawrenceburg on May 9th. He is
an impartial, able Judge and mer-
ifs the unanimous endorsement of
the people of this Chancery Di-
vision.
