Where Dolls Reign

N-~'
DO you wish to see
some little girls eyes
snap with pure rapt-
ure? Bring her here.
Here, where the
jaunty girls elbow
each other ~ where
haxen and brunette
beauties stand, a light
of anticipation on
their brown and blue
eyes as they await the
inspection of their flu
ture little mothers.
In every size-from
the naughty Partisan
beauty down to teeny-
tiny dollies ~ Just
made for little dimpled
fingers to caress.
Very little, indeed,
may be the cost of
making some grille SUI
premely content.

the meeting on the best methods OF con-
Quoting the meetings.
There seems to be no longer any doubt
about the fact that Percy Martin. the
railroad robber on tho Seaboard has
served out sentence of three years in
the penitentiary of Tennessee. The pen.-
tentiary authorities wrote to Sheriff
Beales that he was sent there in Sep
TENDER. 1872. to serye three years. A pic
ture OF the man sent and the description
given OF him corresponds with the Percy
Martin here in jail
The weather here has been almost like
Epring. The roads are as firm as in mid
summer. An unusual sight for January
was seen at church yesterday. when
many OF the ladies of the congregation
appeared with fans, which they used
vigorously during the service

EVERY CHRISTIAN
is RESPONSIBLE
Rev. Thomas B. southall Makes
Plea for Clean
Sabbath.
Especial 10 The Times Dispatch

LEXINGTON. VA, January ls.-Rev.
Thompson b. Southail. pastor OF the Lex
ington Presbyterian Church, occupied the
pulpit OF Trinity Methodist Church Sun
day morning, and preached an able and
convincing sermon In advocacy of sup
pressing the Illegal sale of liquor in Lex
ington. In which the sale of intoxicants
is forbidden under local option laws.
Mr.. Southail's subject was The King
dom OF Cod" which he defined to be
the complete reign of God over society,
public as well as private. After num-
erous Bible quotations, justifying his
position as to what the kingdom of God
is, Mr.. southall threw the burden OF re-
sponslbility for a clean municipality on
every Christian in the community. He
declared the failure to break up the
blind tigers in operation here due
either to securing insufticierc evidence or
the miscarriage of justice. AS means
OF arousing a wholesome public senti-
ment favorable to better conditions, he
advocated the organization OF civic
league, to be composed of the good peo-
pie of the community and declared that
no evil can continue when condemned
by public sentiment.
