irreparable loss.

The Ladies of Flower Mission Have
Their Hands Full-Will Give
Supper.

One of the ladies connected with
the Flower Mission stated yesterday
that there was a large number of
sick poor in this city, and that the
finances of the Mission were rapidly
being drained to meet the exception
ally heavy call for assistance. The
Flower Mission gave a charity ball

this money has been exhausted and
a meeting of the members of the Mis-
sion will be held Wednesday after
noon at the home of Mrs. George
Dougan, on East Main street, for the
purpose of arranging for a supper,
the proceeds Of which will go into

most worthy charitable organizations
in the city, and devotes its energies
to helping the sick poor, providing

The convention promises to be one
of the tamest in the political history
of the cold Burnt District. :" To
use the words of one Of the delegates
it was call over but the shouting
yesterday, owing to the fact that
Walter Commons of Centerville has
withdrawn from the race for distric.

en- Carr of Nashville. Tt is expect
ed that the convention will instruct

WATSON A METHODIST
CONGRESSMAN WHO DOES NOT
PLAY POKER.
friends of whip" Have Fun With
Him-A Meeting He Had With
Church Elders.

Washington, January 15.--Since
representative Watson, Of Indiana,
was appointed "whip" Of the House
many newspapers have printed
friendly accounts Of his ''life and
works. ia some Of these sketches
jocular reference was made to the
fact that Watson is not averse to sit
ting in social game Of poker. Now,
it happens that Watson is an officer
i'll the Methodist church at Rushville
and active in the affairs Of the CON
gregation. While he was at home for
the holidays some Of the stories con-
tanning the reference to poker fell
into the hands Of members Of the
Congressman S congregation. The
Rev. Virgil Tevis, pastor of the
| church, who could testify that he
never saw Mr.. Watson play a game
| of poker, saw an opportunity to have
some fun at the expense of the Con-
gresham, and SO one forenoon the
pastor gathered up the elders of the
, church, and taking them into his con-
! fidence as to the program, led them
up to Mr.. Watson s law Office
| The "whip" was pouring over a
{ brief in case at law when the sol
emn delegation entered He thought
| he saw twinkle in the minister IS
eye, but he decided to "stand pat"
With all the solemnity possible the
minister drew forth a clipping from
a newspaper and announced that the
elders had been called in to try the
Congressman on the charge of poker
playing. "All right said Watson
"But I r(Eerve the right to select
the three men that are to try me
First, | shall select Mr.. -, with
whose past | am well acquainted
He would not dare to vote to convict

General Conference III California
and did not attend a session of tht
body because the races were on at tn,
same time. For the third member
shall choose Judge -, who knows

to be elected judge
| The minister scratched his hea'
and announced that the case was dis
missed for the reason that the sub
committee chosen to try the Con
gresham could not bring in an i'm
partial verdict. The new "whip' in
sists that, to use the expression o
James Whitcomb Riley, she woul

coming down the street, but S
long as his church board declines t
go to trial on the charge he does no

Every office holder, although

their headquarters, and can be
found at work any hour in the day
IN the court house. These crowds
interfere with the regular routine of
the Offices and prevent citizens who

The officers are prevented from

their full time and service, and pol

OF the county as stalwart Repub-

Gerythi' Republican az I he Election
lt-i SATURDAY

The Republican Primary election
in Preston county las; Saturday was
red hot affair aoj hasn't cntiil-,
cooled DOM yet as there is still
more or less cuising aad hot air
being wasted over the result, Beer
and liquor flowed like water and
was free for anybody and everybody
that wanted it. The express Office
here did bigger business for the
Primary than for the Fourth Of
July. The result was more or less
drunkness and fighting. The most
of the booze was simply asicd and
was sent out TO fellows who did
very little good with it.
The candidates who spent their
money so foolishly had better have
poured il out in the gutter. One
colored men here had four eight
gallon kegs of beer sent to him free
gratis for nothing and another fellow
white man got nine kegs of beer.
These are only instances that came
to our knowledge. We were al
the express office here on the day
of the Primary and found the place
so crowded you could hardly get IN
and the Agent nearly worked &c
death to handle the business. Al
Tunnelton and other points on tht
railroad it was just as bad as here
according to the reports. Their,
was quarreling and cussing in from
of the Court House and even OF
the inside and at last one or two
fights, but no arrests as it was al
family affair Some of the rim,
who think they own the Court Hous,
undertook TO throw out one insur
gent Republican and they had
regular scrap for a few minute
with three on to one man till som,
Others interfered and stopped TIT
