"That Base Ball Rag"
BY CASEY.

There was a sound of revelry last
Wednesday night,
From Beileview, down to Marble
Creek
Had gathered those who love to trip,
the light fantastic step.
At Graniteville, twas through a sum-
mons of the Base Ball Club.
The night was drear and chill without,
But mirth and warmth prevailed
within
Bright the lights shone on fair women
and brave men,.
When music arose with it's voluptuous
swell:
The waltz, schottische, two step and
quadrille were seen the hall to grace:
The Tango, Bear and Bunny Hug the
hall did not disgrace
The luncheon by the ladies served
Was such as only they could serve,
And those who satisfied the appetite
Gave praise to culinary art,
Bob Brown, as manager of the Base
Ball Club,
Kept things well on the move.
From door to stage he saw it all
And some quadrilles was heard to
call.
The music furnished was combined,
The best for years some seemed in
clined.
Robinson and Casey" we're first on
deck.
"Doc" fiddled them a round or two,
And also called quadrilles a few.
Jim Brown that night made his
debut,
AS fiddler, he surprised a few.
Twas when the parting hours came
Outside a snowstorm seemed to
reign.
But no one seemed to care a bit
And through the snow began to wag.
While many voices we heard say,
Well meier forget that "Base Ball
Rag.n

will give a few happenings in this
part of the woods.
We have had lots of snow and some
real winter weather the past week.
Squire Kitchell was in town last
Saturday; also, j. R. Farris of Pied
mont was here looking after tie in
terests.
John Adams wife is pretty sick
with something like heart trouble.
John Shaver is also on the sick list.
Reed Bros. are doing a good bust
ness saw milling now. The inspection
on ties is so hard that all have quit
them and gone to hauling logs.
VIM. Huff is going to move out to
Gilman, in Reynolds Co., next week,
and take a tie contract.
Sutton & Sutton went to st. Louis the
first of last week on business and re-
turned Tuesday night on No. 9.
There we're lots of rabbit hunting
the past week around here.
Mrs. r. Heath has been having quite
a time with catarrh of the hand, but
is better now.
I notice the Annapolis Cores
pondent is complaining about bad
roads; says the road overseer will
have to fix the roads if they continue
hauling over them. Well, now, ! like
good roads and so does everybody, SO
far as that is concerned, but the road
overseer can't fix the roads, without
money to fix with; and, you know,
dear ~"Bulletin," that he had to sue
for some of the money he did get.
Carl Clifford says he can beat the
best ricking fodder, but don't know;
he is mighty good though. The fod-
der he put up last season has kept
extra good considering the wet win
ter.
VIM. Sheriff. was called to Hogan

A Great Meeting at IrontOn.

One of the largest meetings ever
held in the town; not only in number
of attendance but in spirit and 90
operation in the work of God.
The churches are all together; the
people are all worshiping in the same
spirit.
A great tabernacle has been erected,
6OxS3 fit. Seating capacity 1000. The
marvel of the enterprise is the unanim-
ity and enthusiasm of the whole
community in building the tabernacle,
and the perfect unity and harmony of
all the churches.
Men were seen on the ground with
hammers, saws, shovels and wheel
barrows through the two days of the
snow storm, cheerfully doing work
gratis, which could not have been hired
for money.
The school boys, on the last day,
did vs. good service as anyone in
cleaning up the floor and placing the
seats.
Rev. Hobbs donned a pair of over
alls, and as the gallant and untiring
leader did his share of the work. His
magnetic optimism thrilled and en-
listed the cooperation of all the
helpers. Men that could not be per-
sonally present sent helpers. Straw
was sent in from the country to cover
the floor.
Many doubted that the enterprise
could be completed in the time ap-
pointed; others doubted the building
could be made comfortable at this
season of the year, but the first night,
with four stoves at work and the
ground covered with straw, all doubts
were at rest. The room at the rear of
the tabernacle is furnished with a
stove for the convenience of mothers
who bring their children. Every con-
venience is made for the comfort and
necessity of the people who attend
this meeting.
The seats in the northwest corner
have been reserved for the colored
people.
A number of the leading men have
publicly expressed their purpose to
lead a Christian life by coming for
ward. Twenty eight of them in the
services for men on Sunday after
noon.
At the first testimony service of the
revival, Sunday night, there were
more than one hundred testimonies
including many new converts and old
church members revived.
Steve Burke, as he is usually called
is a strong and interesting preacher.
His sermons are full of witticisms, ano
many of his stories semi humorous
but they are always told to illustrate Q
point. Everybody can see that he is
in dead earnest with a passion for
souls. He came here from the hos.
pital where he had suffered under a
severe attack of Lagrippe, but has
continually improved each day.
After hearing his three sermons
last Sunday we have no further feari
that he will not be able to keep up his
work to the end.
Both men have now the confidence
and the heart of the people. The
good already done is beyond com
putation.
The subject Of the lecture Sunday
afternoon was, "Leaving the Ole
Home.n He gave the first part Of thu
story of his life. Next Sunday after
noon at $3.50 P. NJ. he will finish thi
story, "Saved at Last"

A constitutional amendment, endors-

instrument by which the change was
affected. A comfortable majority was
established at the November election

the efforts of the liquor interests. The
amendment is self-operative, and car
ries heavy penalties for violation.
