Mr. T. ;. Meadows, who lives near
Rice, in this county, was i'm town
on Wednesday, shaking hands with
friends, happy and grateful. Ofcour-e
ne is. He doesn't owe dollar, hunts
up the tax collector, and never allows
him to hunt for him, has 10 living chill
dren, II or whom eat at his table three
times day, all well and hearty. Mrs.
Meadows is only 80 years old, and
knows nothing Of the weight Of years.
Peace to that household and other
children if they want them. Such a
couple ought to be literally pensioned
by State and nation.

The election Monday for aud against
licensing the sale of intoXicant liquors
In this magisterial district resulted in
large majority vote being east for the
"wets.' Out of voting strength of
some six or seven hundred, $50 were
cast. OF this number the vets received
3Oi, the drys 81, and 10 were thrown
out, rs not being marked in conformity
with the law.
On account of a contention over who
should be substituted for one of the
Judges who refused to serve the polls
We're not opened to voters before nearly
9o'clock. This, the drys objected to,
ana In consequence many of them re-
FUSED To vote at all. which accounts
for only 81 being counted for their side.
They claim that they have reasonable
grounds for cOntesting the validity of
the election in the courts, and it is
announced by them that this will be
done at the next term of the county
court, and If sustained, another election
will be asked for at once.

Present Day Thoughts.

A Short Sermon:-A healthy tree
stands fast-rooted in the earth. Only
as long as 1t holds 10 the earth can it
raise It's swinging head towards heaven.
In this tree truth there is something
like human truth.
Look with doubt upon that kind OF
spiritual exaltation which makes man
less OF a man after he receives it.
Namby-pamby ways, narrow-minded
condemnation of differing opinions,
and a shrinking away from earth duties
do not express real spirituality. Fit
Is perfectly natural for man to be relig-
ious in his yearnings while still a man.
perfect in every physical sense, the two
qualities in him will not run counter to
each other. The animal within him
VIII be held in restraint but not de-
stroyed, while the spiritual within him
will also very necessarily be held in
restraint and yet not destroyed. The
TWO have a right to exist together, each
strengthening the other; or we have to
blame the Creator for very great
blunder.
l have known whining men and
women holding up their hands in hor-
ror at the ravages committed by the
one they called "The Prince of the
Power Of the Air." and yet with
miserable inconsistency not moving
finger nor narrowing their souls TO stop
one particle of the evils they condemn
ed, ever taking refuge in the lazy plea
that this is not Gods world. These
same people, do not exaggerate-
would sing of the land of rest and pine
for II and yet by all measurements of
all that is holy they had not exerted
any wearying pull towards good on
behalf Of this peculiarly mixed old
world.
Religion surely is to make us strong
er, not weaker. More of men than less
OF men, or otherwise to have its perfect
work, we ought to be translated at once
from this sphere to another. This last
surely not. Religion is not to Stay but
to make alive, right here and right
now; not to emasculate but to teach
restraint; not to uproot us from earth
but to show what earth can produce in
the way Of aspiring spirits whose heads
are raised towards heaven.
No new view of world to come
makes us any the less members Of the
great human family. 1t is the selfish
ness of "tooth and claw" showing
again in man, for those who claim to
have light to feel Indifferent and
superior to those who dwell in dark
ness.
Depend upon it, the more our roots
strike down into feeling of the COM
mon origin aud common life of all the
higher will be our aspirations and the
better the fruits we bear; for in that
very feeling of oneness with all will
come the thrill OF knowing that we
have share in the results of all that
the human family has gained, and we
in our feeble way can add to its grand
sum total. If there is truth in this,
live up to it. If is not truth, speak
out in your life s. lething better.

Hampden Sidney college, a sketch 0
which appeared in the January 1889
Journal, is the second Oldest college II
Virginia William and Mary being In,
! iirsD and is one Of the first six institu
tons of learning established in the new
world. Its long line of distinguished
graduates have added lustre to the
annals of our nation, and they are not
dtieRi tempOris flores, for its alumni
are in evidence today everywhere
throughout the South and West, and
the honorable positions which they
hold speak we'll for the college from
which they came.
The college has always been noted
for the excellence Of its instruction, the
exclusiveness Of its society and the
selectness of its student body, and
these three characteristics are no less
prominent today than they were a
hundred years ago.
The only objection that can possibly
be raised to the Institution is its re-
mOteness from "men and towns" and
even this some cOnstrue into being an
advantage. | am no casuist, and shall
not attempt to dissect and discuss the
matter further than TO say | believe in
this as in other cases, ga tree is known
by its fruit"
| know that the old regime when
Hampden-Sidney was a center of a
rural society of wealth, and elegance
has long passed away. know that it
all has changed-that aflluence, and
ease, and luxury have gone of to the
cities never again to return To their
first sweet and simple home We do
not now hear the songs Of the happy
slaves away OF along the hills of Prince
Edward, nor does my ladye" pass, as
in the old, old days, in her splendid
coach and four. A revolution has
swept over the country, and only few
old landmarks are LETT to tell the happy
tale Of the long, long ago. And yet,
after all, | can not agree with DR.. Bag
by, that happy and regretful deineator
of Virginia characteristics, that the
old.time Virginia is dead.
The "old" Virginia which William
and Mary represented with her cavalier
element and Hampden-Sidney, with
her free-souled Scotch, is not dead; all
her exterior characteristics have chang
ed, and her customs Of the olden days
have but feebly survived the gigantic
social and economic changes which the
last four decades have wrought, but
the same spirit that dwelt with our
ancestors and made them great and
honorable in peace and in war lives in
the hearts Of her people today.
She is not dead, but is even now
awakening from her slumber of five
and thirty long and weary years. A
new generation has arisen, and its
aspirations are high aud its muscles
are strong, and before it shall have
finished its work not vestige Of the
old regime shall remain-nothing ex-
cept those lofty traits Of character that
make Vrginian a Virginian every
where aud all the tIme-nothing ex-
cept those deep-bred traditions that
are dearer to a native born son of the
Old Dominion than life itself-those
traditions that speak loud Of an ances-
try that was noble and that is dead,
and Of that chivalrous valor Of our
fathers that cannot sleep in the grave
nor perish as a flower Of the field.

COn|NGF RON WYOMING.
Union Pacific to Run Excur-
siOns to Salt Lake.
TO BE MONTHLY SERVICE
oNE-FIFTH FARES WILL BRING
CROWDS OF PEOPLE.

The Union Pacific has struck a pop
ular chord with its Wyoming patrons.
1t has inaugurated a series Of excur-
sions to Salt Lake from Rock Springs
and intermediate points which will be
run monthly during the summer The
rate fixed for these excursions is about
one-fifth the regular fare, being s. for
the round trip from Rock Springs and
a proportionate reduction from each
intervening station.
The past excursions from Wyoming
have been so literally patronized that
the Union Pacific passenger department
has concluded to continue them until
the cool weather comes on. That these
low rates are appreciated is evidenced
by the turnout that reached here yes
terday. A thousand people came down
TO remain few days and take advan-
taee of the outing by visiting the lake
and other pleasure resorts.
1t is like dropping into the garden Of
Eden for these Wyoming people to
come to Salt Lake AT home they see
very little vegetation, on every hand
the eye is met with picture of barren
hills. There is no desirable pleasure
spot for them to go to; it is a sameness
the year around, so the opportunity to
get away several times during the
summer months, afforded them by the
Overland Route" is being taken adj
vantage of and gradually growing in
popularity with the WyOmingites.
These excursions are of great benefit
TO Salt Lake, the railroad realizes nice
prohts from them by carrying the large
crowds and those who come upon them
enjoy intense satisfaction.

TROOPER ON A DRUNK.
Celebrates His Going Away by Rails
ing a Disturbance


John Giles, a sergeant in troop c of
the Ninth cavalry, caused considerable
excitement on Victoria alley yesterday
afternoon by swapping his carbine at
people and threatening to clean out
the place.
He secured a jag much too big for
his capacity, and with his gun over his
shoulder and several cartridges in his
belt he started for the resorts on the
alley.
With the air of a bad" man he stag
gered down the alley. making his
threats and arousing the inmates of
the resorts with his bOiSterous Ian
gu2ge. He snapped his unloaded gun
in the face of several women who. at
tracted by the noise, stuck their heads
out of the windows to see what the
trouble was.
The trooper entered Helen Blazes'
resort, but Officer Randolph, who had
been attracted to the scene, followed
him in and snatched his gun from him.
The disarmed soldier Immediately flew
into a fury and began to abuse the Of
ficer and raise a racket in general. Of
Iicer Smith also appeared by that time,
and the drunken trooper was marched
to the police station, much to his cha
grin and greatly against his will.
At the station, although scarcely able
to walk straight, he vowed that he was
not drunk. and was highly incensed to
think that the officers had taken him
away from the resort before he could
say goodby to his wife, whom. he said,
was the cook there
Another trooper who was looking
after tardy soldiers to see that they
got to the train in time, appeared at
the station at that juncture, and the
bad" trooper was turned over to him
to be taken away.
