BELMONT LETTER.

We have had plenty Of rain and crops
are moving right along. The people
have shaken off their Nightmares and
seem joyful.
We are to have protracted meeting
at New Valley, commencing on Friday
before the 4th Sunday of this month.
A good time is expected. The Rev.
McWhorter, of Prentias county. is ex-
pected to be with us. and Bro. Joe Me-
Cowen, of ftawamba, also.
The people of this section are very
enthusiastic over the Bible at present.
They have discovered that the book of
Revelations WAS not the revelation of
St. John but the revelation Of Jesus
Christ, which God gave unto Him. that
is Jesus Christ to show to the people
things which must shortly come to
pass, and that they did come to pass.
and that this is one day with the Lord.
and that he continues executing his
resurrection and his judgment. And
further, that there is no place to de.
posit the souls of the people, but that
He. Christ. has to take them right
home to Himself or send them to a
place of punishment Also. that the
bodies Of the people return to the dust
and the spiritual part to God who gave
it.
We do not desire to preach upon this
subject, but hope You will publish this
that people may see what they car
learn by turning their attention to the
Bible. G. Al.

1t has been said that the South never
would have great literary periodical.
II is q source OF much qualification to
know that this statement is untrue, as
has been proven in the case OF the
Southern Magazine, of Louisville. Ky.
It is thoroughly southern. is a model
OF artistic beauty. and its contributors
are the most distinguished Of this coun-
try. The July number comes out with
many improvements, including beau
tiful cover Of artistic design. Every
southern home that desires to see this
section of country take front rank in
the literary world should encourage
this enterprise and help the Southern
Magazine to maintain the place IT has
taken among the literary publications

THE ELoCUTIoNARY READING

Last Thursday evening the people of
luka had an opportunity of hearing
Miss Helen E. Brown, the young lady
OF Athens, Ala, who has won great
reputation as an elocutionist. Miss
Brown is originally from Kentucky,
but has beens spending most of her
time in the extreme Southern States.
She is intensely Southern from every
standpoint. and her beautiful accent,
so characteristic of our people, is given
an additional charm as it falls from
| her lips. Miss Browns talents easily
place her among the lead of the readers
and reciters of this country.
The exercises took place in the hall
of the Iuka Springs Hotel. The stage
was artistically decorated with beauti.
| ful lace hangings and roses. Overhead
hung a gilded horse shoe, and ia the
background paintings and other deco
rations, arranged by an artists hand,
presented a most pleasing appearance.
P, Miss Brown was introduced in a very
appropriate and happy manner by
Prof A. H. Elicit, of the Iuka Normal
Institute.
Her first recitation was Christn,
story, followed by summer tale about
15-cent young man who had to treat
young ladies to ice cream. Her imper-
sonation of an old maid was splendid,
and the charming prattle of child at
o'clock a. m. convulsed the house
with laughter Poe's Bells was recited
in manner that won great applause
from the audience. Her sermon on
apples was hugely enjoyed, and de-
servedly so.
A change in the program took place
at this point, consisting OF violin solo
by one of luka's most fascinating little
girls, Miss Katie Seay. A piano ac-
compartment was played by her sister,
Miss May, and every one present were
loud in praising the wonderful musical
talent displayed.
Miss Brown next appeared as wo-
man of very disagreeable disposition,
who went around cheering up the sick.
The organ volunteer was recitation
OF unusual merit, and was beautifully
! rendered. - -
Miss Mamie HYATT sang solo with
piano accompaniment by Miss Annie
Dean. Miss Hyatt has clear. sweet
voice, and Miss Dean is at home at the
piano.
A beautiful gypsy rose girl came
out upon the stage. with flashing CO.'S
tune and basket of roses. This was
undoubtedly Miss Browns most diff
cult and strongly written reading of
the evening. She acquitted herself
with great credit in this piece.
Mis- Annie Dean appeared in a solo
and sang 'Margueretta" very sweetly,
accompanied by Miss May Seay at the
piano.
Miss Brown appeared for the last
time in black costume as an old lady
who loved her creed. The moral was
very good. and the assembled crowd
did not fail to see the point. In u very
graceful manner Miss Brown an
nounced that this piece closed the
evenings entertainment, whereupon
the audience dispersed we'll satisfied
with what they had seen and heard.

THE GROA LER AT BREAKFAST TABLE,

For the Age-Herald.
 The breakfa fast our of Sunday morning lends itself more readily, perhaps, to that light flow of careless conversation 80 con- genial to the gregarious human. During the week so various are the interests which impel the partakers of the often hasty meal that rarely are more than couple, or at most three or four, of household gath cred together there, and then only for a very short while, each being anxious to reach whatever employment the day holds out to him.
 Confident, therefore. of ample time and no pressing duties. the company give themselves up to the leisnrely enjoyment of the s abbath morning meal, and with the occasional exception of head too ex- papded from a Saturday nights indul- gence, the spirits run high, and the talk, while seldom verging upon the deeps of discussion, or surging into the whirlpool of argument, pursues an even tenor along ripping ways.
 The breakfast party will consist of:
 Sweet Marie, just out of school, and mistress of ceremonies.
 Daisy Bell, on the list of prom oteo to the high school.
 The Growler, man of the world.
 The Idler, youth whose calling is just now to murder time.
 Cousin Loo, who drops in occasionally ana fingers aWuII6s
 The Tramp. (In this house it is the cus tom to entertain for breakfast each Sunday morning some vagrant wanderer, who has first beer initiated into the mysteries of some bathing institution and provided with coat from the wardrobe of some of the family.)
 First Sunday morning, September |, 1894.
 The table is set and the curtains drawn apart to admit the bracing Sunday morn ing air. The cheery tinkle of the break fast bell sends its tidings of comfort and joy throughout the house. Sweet Marie and Daisy Bell take their places, the first al tIle head of the table to pour the conee, her sister opposite the Growler that the light may sift through her blonde hair on it's mission of conciIiation and apology for looking the Growler straight in the face. GA habit which the light has to the dls- comhture of some people.) No matron sits at this early board, for as our talk shall for the most part be frivolous, and experienced maturity, she makes our preference pretext and an excuse to keer her room until what she calls more sea- sonable hour.
 The Growler, with barely bow and the brow of bear, seats himself, morning pa- per in hand.
 'sNo water, as usual. Did the ice meli away during the night?o
 'I suppose so, or else--dear me, Daisyl' cries Sweet Marie, 'don,t you remember that MT. GroWler always requires ice water the first thing at breakiast7''

Don't we know-wicked creatures that we are--if such experiences come to us that we leave the prophet to revile day which debars us from getting at the nauseas morsel, ejust to judge for ourselves.' Sometimes folks who can't wait have been known to bribe weak brother among the book selling fra ternity to sell from the back door, as the interruptions saloon Keepers occasionally do-so they say.
 Now an old man of my acquaintance-a French teacher in a prominent southern university-one who is orthodox, conser- vative and everything else objectionable and oldfashioned, has been prevailed upon to read Sara Grand's two books. Of the first, "Ideala,'' he said little, but after careful perusal of ''The Heavenly Twins'' and much real enjoyment over their ''deadly doings,o he was asked for an opinion. A trihe ashamed to confess how little original preconceived ideas iu- fuenced him while under the light of lat ter day plain speaking, he merely shrugged his shoulders. But, profess sor, some one persisted, 'if you wanted to help poor, soul starved, impatient women to bear their burdens cheerfully, but without sacrificing self-respect, what would you wish for them?' Impulsively the honest old sage laid his hand on ''The Heavenly Twins,o saying vehemently: "Qui ills iussent cs livre attentivementi o
 If these ancient land- marks of an age, the very memory of which is fast disap- bearing from the mind of the world. ca concede that just praise to an authG U, like the out-speakers of religion, is doing all she can to benefit her sex, why may not the youthful and uuprejudiced consult the pages written for them and to them?
 All this twaddle about girl confessug to having read such stuff "un blushingly,' is exceedingly pointless, considering the lot of impure Knowledge sue gets from her own imaginings, or by contact with people, and in an atmosphere necessarily troubled. A clear, calm, dispassionate argument IS the best thing she can fall in with. To read with her mother or sisters this book or any other which points toward a better state of things and the elevation of society, will not injure her perceptions of right and wrong. 1t is the manner in which we re- hurts us; if we cultivate an attitude of purity toward every subject-strive to gain a broad, mental, human conception of all things that we must learn sooner or later, then there need be little or no fear of our growing dissatisfied and reckless in con- temptation of these questions, which are part of the exercises Of each day.
 This is all said on behalf of the stgirls,' '' who complain already that they are kept in the background like servants and only allowed to study from distance-too far off, in fact, to get an adequate idea of the magnitude of the chart.
