DIR. RIVERS SURPRISED.

The increasing popularity of Rev.
D. F. Rivers, pastor of Berean Baptist
church was pleasingly exemplified last
Monday night, when both members
of his church and other friends united
intendering him a surprise shower
party in honor of the completion of his
sixth year of pastoral work in this
city. Nearly a hundred of his friends
broke in upon his studies about 8
p. m and literally filed his parIors
with useful household articles, includ-
ing furniture, linens etc. On behalf
Of the guests Mr.. Arthur S. Gray, one
of the trustees and superintendent of
the Sunday school, made a few re
marks, in which he expressed the high
esteem in which both the pastor and
his wife are held by the church and
the community and pledged to both the
loyal support of the members in the
carrying forward Of the work in which
all good citizens must always feel a
deep interest. The evident surprise Of
the pastor momentariIy deprived hirl
of utterance, but his lack of words was
more than compensated for by the
beaming countenance which eloquently
attested the gratitude of the sou
within. At the conclusion Of the i'm
promptu exercises refreshments were
served by the ladies of the church, anC
all departed leaving Rev. Rivers an(
his family deeply conscious Of the lov,
and esteem entertained for them botl
bv the immediate members of tn
church and the community.

EARNEST HOGAN, THE COMEDIAN.

This Office is in receipt of a very
unique matchholder, the gift of Mr.
Earnest Hogan, the premier comedian.
Mr. Hogan has been the generator of
new ideas for the comedy stage for the
past fifteen years, and in getting up
something new in the way of match
holder, he has broken the record. This
holder consists of an eliptical cut of
hickory wood about a half foot in
diameter with a half tone of the great
comedian on the front, with a burnt
border and name, Ernest Hogan, ="
in conspicuous letters. There is a
small holder for matches made from a
small limb of the same wood and a
sand paper surface for the ignition of
the match. It came by express pre-
paid. It is a thing of beauty
