To the macy inquiries as to TIN
TIMES correspondent, last week, Will
some thinking perhaps that the rest
ing days had come and that there
would be nothing else in these ed
itorials to interfere with them doinl
their do, we wish to state that We
have returned to the land Of plenty
and ready for roll call. Last week, a.
bad as we hated to miss, we could not
ind the time to write, having spent
the whole week out of the city, out OF
the county, out of the state and out
OF the United States-down in Ar
kansas-on IL busineSs-pleasure trip;
but if you will forgive US this time we
will not DO so again.
The sensational part of the program
has been pretty well carried out, but
owing to the absence of this quill
pusher it is a hard matter to get onto
the tone of the outcome. Howe er,
one exciting feature which is still
fresh in the peoples minds, was the
visit of two young maidenS from one
of our neighboring towns, or some
other place, apparently travelling on
their gall or something else. who on
pleasure bent no doubt, arrived from
the southeast early Tuesday morning,
perambulated around town in lively
way during the day, got up few llirt
atiOns with some of our laddies, and
at night seemed to have received a
touch of high life from two of our d.
minutlve sports. A very enjoyable
time evidently prevailed until late
hour when the closing scene was wit
messed by one of our ministers, who
reported that the visitors departed
for regions unknown :. The next pa t
of the line of thought were two ladies
from near eastern point, stopping
between trains at the Arlington; and,
after two or three hours of rubber
necking from all who happened to see
them, they at last picked up one of
the aforesaid midgets, assisted by
Swedish wade and butcher singer,
and entertained in a fashionable way
in the paclor Of the hotel. Cold water
and corn bread were the main refresh
ments of the evening. 1t must have
been good meeting, and they surely
believe in holding it quite late, for it
was not until after the departure of
the $3.50 train that the roomers of the
tavern could get any sleep. AS there
happened TO be no preacher to witness
the scene we we're unable to find out
more of the particulars.
The monthly union temperance
meeting was held in the NJ. E. church
last Sunday evening, 1t was attend
ed by the best people in the commun-
ity and a whole lot Of them was I'm
der the supervision of the quartet of
gospel Founders, the gentleman of sill
yer locks presiding, the slim long hair
explorer of India being the main
spokesman who appeared to take his
text, Like unto the tree. also will
the branches be-" But it was not fit
subject or something was the matter,
for his Illustration was a man being
the father of seventeen children and
they were all girls. 1t also appeared
that he did not approve Of the city adj
ministration, saying that the weight
rested on the heads of the mayor, 20.
lice judge and marshal; in particular
he roasted the latter official, but did
not come down so hard on the mayor
realizing the fact that the wallet OF
the mayor is ajar, to his assistance
He also quoted down TO low stupOI
when it came to the police judge, one
of the deacOns of his church. The
next on the program was the smiling
brua1-face gospel gentleman, whose
text appeared to be, Seek and VI
shall find" And such is the case
sometimes. If a person has a certain
thought in his mind it is easy to SEE
the fault in other people-so he re
ported the parting scene of the above
visiting maidens. The next to arts,
for the defense of himself was tn,

He imagined he was seeing miracle
and performing wonders. All of tn
speakers greatly approved of the &C
tion of Mrs. Nation, except what sh
said at Chicago, that she was going Z
'clean her own house first" Tha
would be an awful good thing for GU
ministers TO do. There can be man
, immoral feats traced back to tn
church; for instance, it has been n
uncommon thing TO see the red win
