The Sunday School Convention in the
Hainesville church last Thursday had a
large attendance. AS usual prominent
speakers made the usual able and eloquent
addresses pertinent to the cere aud neces-
sity of Sabbath schools TO an audience per

proves with age. Smith who as
pired to leadership, and running for
Office, sees VIII, and seeks his aid
and influence. Sam was working
for Will, and is an immoderate Joker
At the close of the days labor Will
says, "see here Sam, our friend
Smith wants a little help, and /
think as good Democrats we should
support and build him up, for we
