| New Albany. We hear some express
great disapprobation Of Sunday trips-I
wonder If there is any difference be-
tween an excursion on a boat to a camp
meeting, or using horse on Sunday to
attend a church dediCation2 The work

OF rest and recreation, and trip on the
river to such is like an Arcadian dream
While the hard working man, his wife
and children are free from hot, stuffy

rides or join pedestrians tn popular re-

ton Of the heathen-Sunday excursions,
properly conducted, are as innocent in
every particular as a house. party and a
big dinner on Sunday where preachers
and laity meet to eat, drink (ce-tea) and
be merry.

Mrs. Besuchamp was in the chair and
presided with great dignity at the Pro-
hibition Convention-Good for Mrs.
Beauchamp, she is with me on the local
option question, She declares it is
useless waste of time to establish it in
Kentucky. She knows, l know, we all
know from experience that when it is
once voted in a place, the temperance
organization in that particular town or
county is killed. Just as soon as local
option is secured the workers go off, the
law ceases to be enforced, the workers
lose heart and away goes the organiza-
ton, and the second estate OF that place
is far worse than the first. 1 am with
her again in saying and firmly believing,
that the cause will triumph when made
a National issue and only then. And If
ever woman's suffrage becomes general
the open saloon will 60 and the shackles
of intemperance be loosened-The Ma.
tional Women's Christian Temperance
Union and the National Prohibitionist
party should journey together-But many
of US will have joined the "innumerable
throng," the moss will have grown DER
our slabs ere the Prohibition party is in
power, or women have the right of suf-
frage.

Col. willie J"ncs Writes OF Rcglmcnt's g
Good Health md Orders Expected
Sending Command Back

(rhc State, 20th.)

y letter received Il few days ago from
Col. Willie Jones by relative gives
the pleasing information that he is
very we'll, and that the health of his
command. the Second South Carolina
regiment. is unusually good. He says: {:
I'VE have been 4" Cuba five weeks to-
day. When we had been in Florida
five weeks we had POI men sick, aud 10
OF them died. Only Il few are now in
the hospital. SO you see how much
better this island is than our own State
OF Florida. The weather here is quite
cool. slept under blankets last night,
and it is almost cold enough for frost
This country looks like our country in
may and June. The sugar cane fields
are perfectly magnificent"
From Il statement made in the letter
it may be inferred that orders sending
the regiment home are not unexpected,
and it seems possible that the Second
regiment may return next month. 1t
is understood that Col. Jones is not
aversr to leaving the army and enter
ing again upon civil life. He states in
the letter referred to above that he
hopes to bring his regiment home next
month.
From another source it has been
learned that the officers as we'll as the
men, for the most part, are anxious to
leave Cuba before the warm weather
begins.
