EVERYTHING IN READINESS
for the Union Tabernacle Meet
ingS in Lexington.
PREPARATORY SERVICES BEGUN.
A Great Work Accomplished by DR..
Wharton at Cameron, this State.

Everything is now in readiness for
the regular Inauguration Of union
services in Lexington tomorrow by
the celebrated evangelist, the Rev.
GENCER gave lengthy biographical
sketch last week. The tabernacle
has been completed and preparatory
services were begun by local ministers
Thursday evening. There was also
preaching Friday night and will be
again tonight, and when Or. Wharton
opens tomorrow night he will find that
these initiatory meetings have been Of
great help to him. Prof. Geiger, the
vocalist who accompanies the noted
evangelist, has been present at these
meetings, conducting the singing.
DR.. Wharton comes to Lexington
from Cameron, Mo-, where he has
accomplished great good in quite a
protracted meeting. In reference to
his meetings in that town last Sunday
the Cameron Daily Observer of
Monday says;
Sunday can truly be called an epoch
in Cameron's religious history. 1t
was the first day that double service
was ever held in this city, with one
man preaching at both meetings
DR.. Wharton, the evangelist, did this
and seemed as fresh at the close of
the second sermon as at the beginning
of the first. In addition to this, he
gave a fine address to men at 3 p. M,
and conducted quite long after
meeting at the close of his second
evening sermon. Not many men
could do so and be in as good condition
as DR.. Wharton was when he had
concluded the last service. He
works so easily and naturally that he
can endure much. There is no "paw-
ing the earth" in his preaching, no
sensationaliSm, no attempt to create
excitement. 1t is easy to be seen
that persons who become Christians
under his preaching do so with their
eyes wide open; moved by reason and
love, and not by wave of excitement
calculated to sweep people off their
feet.
At the after meeting last evening
several hundred persons were in at
tendance. Many testimonials were
u given, nineteen persons confessed
Z Christ as their Savior about twenty
% five arose for prayers and many asked
~ that their sons, daughters and friends
- be prayed for. There was not par
e ticle of excitement, but an intense
u earneStnesS which seemed to b'
sweeping on with calmness and quiet
ness, and vet with the force of ;
mighty, irresistible river.
One of the largest audiences of mel
ever assembled in Cameron was tn
~ one at the First NJ. f. church at 3 p
- m. Sunday. 1t was an inspiration t
III look into so many mems faces, for tn
f. most part wearing expressions of dee
le interest in the service. DR.. Wharto
~ gave very strong address. His sui
" iect was "Death at Frolic, " draw
~ ing lessons from the riotouS, drunken
" profane scenes connected with Be
u' Shazzar'S feast.
ry 1t was arranged to hold services i
ne two churches last evening-the Firs
IT, NJ. f. and ChriStian-and it was we
'lr that it was so, for both were packed
nc and that at an early hour.

streets from morning til night,
yet the pittifully few business
houses left are almost as empty
of buyers as a last years birds

but walk the streets and be-
moan each others fate.

GENERAL HOUST0IIN

The death of General Patrick
doustoun, which was chronicled
IN these columns last week. re-
moves from earthly habitation
and association one of the most
conspicuous figures in all Flori
Ga He had in one way or an
other been identified with the
State government for many
years and no man was more
conscientious in the discharge
of his duties.
1t was as a soldier, however,
that ne was apparently most at
ease. Commanding in appear
ance, dignified, and endowed of
CheSterfeld-an manners, he
won the respect and admiration
OF all those whom he came in
contact with in or out of the SER
vice.
AS a Confederate soldier he
won distinctions that will always
keep his memory fresh in the
minds Of those who fought the
battles of '6i-5, and as Adju-
tant-General of the Florida State
Troops for years past and up to
the time Of his death, he was
brought into close relationship
with the younger men OF the
State and there always existed
between them the most cordial
feeling and pleasant asSocia-
6ions. I
AS a citizen his first thoughts
were always for the public veal,
and to this was largely due the
fact that his large estates never
accumulated great riches.
In all the walks OfIife he will
be sOrely missed from his acqus
toned place.

and Mrs. G. w. Camp, and the
attendance at the closing exer-
cises held here last week was
the largest ever assembled on
such occasions in W Wakulla coun-
ty.
The discipline of Prof. Camp
has been attainable and no one
blames him or his most excel
lent assistant, Mrs. Camp. for
the pranks played in his clos
ing exercises by Cupid that ca
pricions Little God of Love"
who laughs at locks and iron
bars and falters at no obstacle.
The spacious Court room in
Crawfordville was crowded to
overfowing on the last night,
but the audience were orderly
and attentive, and the exerciS-
eS were drawing to a close when
Judge McLeod's baby became
fretful and he took it down
stairs into his Office to quiet it.
The next part in the program
was a recitation, and when it
was announced there was a
slight pause-twO young ladies
and two yOnng men were absent
from the stage, but the pause
was unnoticed. All were soon
back in their places and the
young lady stepping to the front
rendered the most beautiful,
pathetic and touching recita-
ton of the evening. The ap-
plause was loud and long. The
rendition had been clear and
faultless, and not one in that
vast throng had the slightest
suspicion that the fair young
speaker had, during that brief
pause, become a bride.
The parents and brothers Of
the young lady sat in the audi
ence. and the oldest brother,
suSpecting that something of the
kind might happen after the en-
tertainment, got his sister from
the stage and hurried off home
with her before the exercises
had fairly closed.
The surprise Of that brother
and The surprise OF everybody
who attended the exercises that
night can well be imagined
when the young husband drove
to the home Of his bride last
Sunday p. m., and demanded
his wife.
The bride. Miss Ethel Lee
Smith, is the pretty and talpn-
ted daughter of M. J. W.
Smith. a prominent Naval Store
Manufactures OF Medorf, and
the groom, Mr.. w. ". Walker.
Jr., Is the oldest SOn.Ot Nj. ".
