TABERNACLE MEETINGS
Growing in Interest Daily and Being
 Largely Attended.

EDITOR GRAPHIG-The tabernacle meeting is deepening and widening in interest and influence. Evangelist | Cuipepper is a great preacher. His assistant, Rev. Mir. Newsome, is an earnest and an untiring worker. You will likely meet him on the streets. He is great hand-shaker and believes in personal interviews. Young Mir. Culpepper, son Of the evangelist, is leading about one hun dred voices in song every evening. Young Mir. Culpepper is simply won derful in his line. There is a rush to get to the tabernacle every evening at 7:30 to hear the song service which begins at that hour.
 Rev. Mir. Culpepper will deliver a special sermon tonight, and it is ex- pected that the tabernacle will be full, and that means congregation of over 2000. At this early stage of the meeting people begin gathering soon after sundown.
 The great tent has had to be low cred twice on account of high winds. It moves quitecemfortabIe theseeool evenings. The old people ought to bring their overshoes and wraps, however.
 Evangelist Culpepper will preach to men only next Sunday at 5 p. En-, and special service will be held for women i'll some church the same hour. He will likely preach to the colored people on Saturday at D. m. The 10 o'clock a. m. and 3 p. m. services each day are we'll attended. The music at these services, led by Mir. Culpepper and a large choir, is fine.
 The pastors are anxious to have their membership present at every service and to do what they can for the meeting.
 The public generally is invited and now, MT. Editor, we will gladly fur nish your reporter a chair and ta- ble each evening on the platform.
 Very truly yours,
 A. o. EVANS.

LOVE LAUGHS
At Locksmiths and Parental 0bjec- tions Were Overcome by
 Strategy.

Social circles in this city were taken completely by surprise yester- day (Tuesday) afternoon by the marriage of Mir. Absalom Knox and Miss Fannie Rutledge. This popu- lar young couple have been keeping their friends guessing for sometime, as evidences of eupid's work were made apparent. Their most inti- mate friends and members of the family were, however, unprepared for the sudden surprise given them by the young people.
 The brides parents objected to her marriage on account of her ten der years. That did not hinder the young couple in carrying out their plans. Mir. Knox is a good tacti- clan and when gaining his bride was at stake he was a genius. His | friends whom be had called to his assistance knew their parts well and Abs plans did not misearry. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the young couple stood in front of the altar at the Christian church, with Rev. F. B. Sapp, the pastor, before them. The marriage service was read and in a few moments they were man and wife. The pastor spoke the words that forever united their hearts and fortunes. They then repaired to the home of MT. and Mrs. Bradford where they re- ceived the congratulations of the friends who were in the secret.
 The bride is the youngest daugh- ter of Mrs. J. H. Eddins. Her sweet and lovable nature has en- deared her to large circle of warm friends.
 The groom is son of Col. R. M. Knox. He is possessed of many ex- cellent traits of character and is universally popular in the city. His father made the newly married couple present of cozy home on Lakeside, furnished with everything that could add to their comfort.
 At present Mr. and Mrs. Knox are at home' at the residence of MT. and Mrs. Bradford.
 The GRAPHIC extends its hearty congratulations and good wishes.

AN OUTRAGE.
Mr. George Vining Severely Cut While Trying to Stop Ruff fans Swearing Be-
 fore Ladies.

An incident enacted on Sixth ave- nue yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon showed a woeful lack of decency on the part of some local toughs. The incident also resulted in the wound ing of Mr. George Viring.
 Two toughs were passing down Sixth avenue using exceedingly pro- fane language. They stopped in front of Mir. J. H. Eddins' residence where a party of ladies and gentle. men were sitting on the porch. The profanity continued and Mir. Vining, a member of the party on the porch, went and requested it stepped. The profanity was then directed towards him. It was promptly resented ann the three mixed in free fist fight. One of them drew a knife and cut Mr. Vining three times in the back, making long and painful wounds.
 The fracas was stopped by out side parties. Mir. Winnings wounds are not dangerous, but the damage to the new suit he wore was proba- ply irreparable.

Grippe Cured.

sLast winter I had a bad cold and severe cough. I was lame in every joint and muscle. I was sick and felt as though was coming down with typhoid fever. It was no doubt a bad case of grippe. MT. E. P. Budge gave me a bot tie of Brazilian Balm, saying he was sure it would help me. The relief was almost instantaneous. It quickly stopped my cough and took the grippe with all the pains and soreness out of my system. I gave the balance of the 50-cent bottle to Mrs. Bishop Wiley for her daughter. It proved so beneficial she says she never intends to be without it. t."-Edwin Fitz Jones, Cincinnati, Ohio.

The bell OF the Guerriere was trans
ferred to the deck of the Constitution
by the cnterprisinr young gentleman,
and did good service for many years.
This bell must have had long history
before il found its way into the Brit
ish navy. and just how il came to per
form duty on man-ot-war is not so
plain. 1t may be that the bell was on
board the Guerricre when she was cap
tured from the French in 1906 by the
Blanche. an English frigate Of 30 guns.
No one was killed on board the blanche,
and but one officer and three men
wounded, while the Guerriere had %
men killed and 30 wounded
During one Of the many ovcrhaulinEs
experienced by Old Ironsidcs, the bell,
together with other valuable trophies.
was removed, became misplaced and
forgotten. In this way the silver-toneh
bell lost it's identity. was sold at auc-
ton and passed into the possession Of
:. gentleman who placed il in fac
tory near the village of Saylesyille, r.
J., where il is now. We echo the words
of the author of the Interesting account
wien he saws: "If the venerable relic
could be recovered by the government
and placed in position on the deck OF
Old Ironsides it would he fulfilling n
mission certainly more appropriate
with its past record and in keeping with
n spirit of sentiment that should ieal-
ously guard and preserve trophies of n
grand old type of fighting vessels that
have forever passed away"
Around this bell. about four inches
from the crown, is the following in
scription: "Pctcr Sccst, Amsterdam.
ammo 1868, me fccit." The figures carved
thereon indicate that the bell was long
used on n convent in England, and
was sequestercd during the reforma-
ton, or it may have done duty on some
continental house of worship, and thus
have found its way on the deck Of the
Guerrero before her capture from the

BELL OF THE CONSTITUTION.
Taken from the Guerrero Just After
the Great battle.

About two years ago Capt. Henry d.
Smith, of the United States revenue
service, wrote a series of IL articles en-
titled ION the Deck of Old Ironsides,"
which were published in the columns of
a weekly journal of this city-the Bos-
ton True Flag" The articles were
very interesting and embodied every in
cident known to have occurred to this
famous old fighting frigate. One OF
the incidents is headed: "How the Frig
ate Lost and Gained a Bell"
During the memorable battle between
the Constitution and Guerricre a shot
from the British ship carried away the
tell of Old Ironsides. As the Guerrero
was rolling in the trough of the sea, her
masts shot away, her bell tolled re-
spOusiycly to the movements of the
battered craft. The tones we're re
murEabIy clear and mclodious, and al
,ra.tcd The attention Of a midshipman
on the farccastle Of the Constitution,
WHO had been ordered TO hold him
self 'l readiness to go ON board the

mind that Old trousides no longer had
&, he'll with which to mark the time,
he resolved to transfer the sweet-sound-
ing bell Of the captured craft to the
deck OF the victor.

yards more of taffeta,' that's silk, YOU

with her, maintaining that il was inn
possible for anybody to underestimate
so yards on ribbon, let alone the other
things. She won't speak to me now.
She just gave me look. and said:
ooh, you needn't pay for it; mother
will Now, isn't it absurd for anybody
to say that she underestimate so
yards of ribbon?"
