A Word To Boys.
Alexandria Democrat.

Our young friend, did you ever
know can you call to mind sim
gle case of a person, who having
his own way to make in the world,
spent his time Oh the street or in
any other form Of idleness or dis
sipation, to succeed in an eminent
degree in any enterprise? Look
over your list of friends and ac-
ouaintances and note their course.
Do you not find upon examination
that those who today are men of
influence and honor were the
youths who made the most of val
liable time turning it to good ac-
count? And, on the other hand.
do you not find that those who
stood on the corners with a pipe
or cigar in their mouth, went from
bad to worse, from worse to ruin?
Sadly must the answer be made
oh, that it were not so-they have
failed. Will you profit by the ex-
perience of others? Go not that
way. Never be idle. Every mo-
ment of your time is golden one,
use it as such, improve the mind,
fix your mind on some noble OBJ
ject; be men. The call is for men;
will you not be one of that number
who can say. 81 am a man?"

FINED EACH FIVE DOLLARS
Negro and Negress Engade in Fight
While Dividing Their Effects

There was but one case before the
Police Court this morning. Martha
Morton, colored, had caused the ar
raignment of Benjamin Reynolds, al
so colored, whom she charged with
assault. 1t was difficult to ascertain
the real facts in the case. According
TO the complaining, she had tbeen
rooming at Reynolds house, and, ac-
cording to agreement, she was to
take her belongings and he to retain
his property. The woman had in her
possession dress which she alleged
the defendant had given her. She de-
MED, however, that she had any claim
upon Reynolds, she stating she was
merely his tenant. During a dispute
over the ownership Of the different
articles she charged Reynolds with.
striking her.
Reynolds in his defense said he did
not purchase the dress for the woman,
and asked what use he had for a wo-
mans dress, replied by saying he,
like Mrs. Toodles of old, bought it
because it was cheap. The complai-
rant admitted she fought, too, dur
ing the scuffle, and the court imposed
a fined of S. upon each.

SERMON ON THE ADVENT
Large Audience at Gospel Tent List
en- Attentively to Discourse
Upon Second Coming

"The Object of Christ's Second
Coming" was the subject handled by
Evangelist Gibson at the gospel tent
meeting last night. There was
large attendance and those present
followed closely the arguments OF
the speaker. Among other things nc
said:
"The real object Of Christ's second
advent will be to receive the fruits
Of His works and to restore that
which was lost through mans trans
erosion. The Apostle Paul said that
the resurrection of the righteous, or
the first resurrection, will take place
at the second advent, and those of
Gods people who are living upon the
earth at that time will be caught up
with the people of God who are re-
surrected to meet the Lord in the
air, and so shall they be ever with
, The LOEu. al lllC oSSOilI tiu'Si Viz
rewards will be given. John says in
revelation xii, 12-'Behold l come
quickly, and my reward is with me
to give every man according as his
work shall be- Paul said at that
time he would receive the crown of
Righteousness which the Lord would
give him at that day; and not only to
him, but to all them who love His
appearing. At that time all the wick.
ed people who are living will be des-
troyed by the presence of the Lord and
by His fierce anger"
The subject tonight will be "The
Great Conflict Between Christ ant

cordial welcome to all.
