11e Fiddle in Church.

The violin in church worship is
evidently new thing in Jackson,
Ga. But according to the Record of
that place, of the 9th inst, a Palatkn
young lady has made it a pleasing
and helpful innovation. Under the
caption of "rhe Truth Demonstrat-
ed, the Record says:
cone of the strong points in the
sermon of b. Lacy Hoge last Sunday
was that God can take our weakest
point and under his direction make it
our strongest one. In other words,
the very instrument the devil liked
best, will be our strongest one for
good. Shortly after this idea was
thrown out the singing began and
Miss Ilah Bond of Palatka, Fla, who
is beautiful type of the most noble
of Gods creation, southern Chris
tian lady, began to play the violin in
the sweetest chord that ever re-echo-
ed in praise of God. Though she is
young yet her instrument obeys her
every touch and quivers the sound
| then needed This has been the
most abused musical instrument on
earth At every party the devil
chose the violin because it was the
sweetest and we had about aligned
it with pistol and bottle, but the good
lady knocked such notions out of us
on the first round. The instrument
I'the devil liked best can be used, un-
der the direction of God, to accomp-
lish great good.
This story reminds the editor of an
incident which happened in large
northern city many years ago. The
pastor of the leading Methodist
church was away and the pulpit was
being supplied by an oId-fashioned
circuit rider from the back country.
In the organ loft was an orchestra
composed of a violin, bass viol and
other Instruments The old preacher
didn't like it. 1t disgusted him, and
that disgust was manifest when he
announced the first hymn as follows:
"We will now fiddle and sing to the
glory of God the - hymn" 1t was
in the tone of voice as much as in the
choice of words that showed the old
minister's disgust of u fiddle in
church,
But ideas are evidently changing,
even in Georgia, and the News is
glad it remained for Palatka young
lady to elevate the fiddle" to its
proper place in Jackson Methodism.

An Outside Estimate.

Riding on an Atlantic Coast Line
train the other day were two south
Florida gentlemen. They were en-
gagged in talking good roads over
only tolerably good cigars in the
smoking compartment.
One of them was from Orange
county and one from Tampa. The
latter asked the Orange county man
if Putnam county was doing any
thing for good roads. Here's the re-
ply:
mo, Putnam county isn't doing
anything for good roads or anything
else that spells progress. The county
has not made an advance move in
twenty years, and it's commissioners
are afraid to do anything for fear
they'll lose their jobs
This is an actual conversation as
overheard by the editor of the News.
1t is valuable only in that it eX-
presses an outside estimate, whether
just or undeserved, of Putnam coun-
ty's past and present do-nothing
policy.
The speaker evidently did not
know that our county commissioners
passed resolution to build Il court
house at the May meeting and funk
ed in June.

CuRAN DIARRHOEA.

U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba dur

sease is, and that ordinary remedies
have little more effect than so much wa
ter. Cuban dlarrhoea is almost as 'se-
we're and dangerous as mild attack of
cholera. There is one remedy, however,
that can always be depended upon as
will be seen by the following certificate
