A T^MPEHANOB LECTOR
Mrs iiallie Chapin, oi Charleston,
£L C., Vice President of the National
W. C- T. U.. by request of the Ham
ilton Union lectured'at the Metho
dist church here last Sunday mom
ing. She is a woman Of wonderful
gifts and after hearing her we are not
surprised that she is accomplishing
so much good in the cause of tern
•
Her first words , struck v a sympa
thetic chord in the hearts of her hear
ers a nd she had not been talking ten
minutes before her God given power
had brought tears to scores of eyes
unused to weep. A report of what
she said would be tame,and we could
not attempt it, did our limited space
permit a more extended notice. Her
graceful delivery and eloquent ad¬
dress, along with her “thoughts that
breathe and words that burn,” ail
contribute to make her the success¬
ful lecturer that she is.
Eighty names were added to the
temperance pledge, making now 120
whites at Hamilton who belong to
the temperrnce crusaders.
In the afternoon Mrs Chapin ad¬
dressed the colored people at the
Baptist church most effectually,
arousing them fully to a sense of the
great evil that is hurting them most
of all, and urging them to organize
and work in concert with the whites.
After her lecture they organized a
temperance union.
A delegation of young men from
Chipley took Mrs Chapin up there
where she delivered a lecture at night.
One hundred and seventy-five names
to the pledge up there attest the pow¬
er of her eloquence and the justice
of her cause.
Our ladies presented her Monday
morning with a floral tribute as she
passed through on her way to Col¬
umbus, which she accepted in fitting
and eloquent terms. Wherever she
may go,. she will always carry the
blessings of our noble women for the
good she has wrought in Hamilton.
Worthy Praise.
Miss Lula Mobley appeared before
a Columbus audience last Friday
evening, and of her recitation we
find the following in the papers of
that city:
Miss Lula Mobley, of Hamilton
recited “The Rum Maniac,” in all
its tragic force. Miss Mobley J \ is a no
ble . , and -j • accomplished , , , young lady,and
when we reflect that the W. C. 1'.
U. is composed of such worthy mate
rial, the wonderful success of Urn
cause can readiiv , be accounted , tor
'
Columous limes.
Recitation—The Rum Fiend, by
Miss Lula Mobley of Hamilton. Tl-.e
poem, descriptive of the evils of grad
ual , drinking 1 • 1 as leading , , to the . final . ,
rum, was rendered in charming style
by a charming lady, who threw her
soul into its delivery, evincing a fine
appreciation of the great evil of her
theme. , Her enunciation . was fault- ,
less, clear, distinct, effective, produc
ing an admirable impression upon all
hearers.' She was complimented with
a beautiful boquet of flowers from
the ladies of the ... Romans , Christian . .
Temperance Union, and presented
in a graceful and appropriate manner
by G E Thomas, jr., Esq. Nothing
added more to the charm of the oc¬
casion than the recitation by Miss
Mobley, who is a daughter of Col
J M Mobley of Hamilton, and is, in
deed, a gifted young lady.—Enquirer.
Whitesville Notes.
Mr Otis Calhoun went to West
Point last Saturday and purchased a
new buggy with the expectation of
marrying next Sunday.
A gentleman, the other day, after
being out in the field came in and
said to his wife, “old lady I don’t
worth a dam.” She being very much
surprised at the expression he ex
plained that his fish dam was washed
away.
One of our neighbors, on feeding
Iris iast feed of corn, decided that it
had been stolen from his stock, so
he loaded his gun with buck shot
and seated himself near the stall*
where h* remained til the next fil¬
ing. We advise him to begin wa,
ing at the first next time.
Mr W C Cotton had one of’
bit by a mad dog several da,
which took effect last Satuday <_
died Sunday. The raving hog would
bite everything with which it came
in contact.
After having F. C., tried last Sat.
urday for not working on the roads
fined him $1.50, when he said, I will
give you half to collect it.
Mr. James Reese living on a small
stream near Mountain creek says
there was a tree that would square
15 inches washed 20 yards and is
left standing strait and the leaves still
growing. It was done the last fresh
et, and the fact is not to be doubted.

j Mr. C. N. Patterson,
R S Peale & Co., is canvassing
ilton for the sale of Peate’s
Educator and Cyclopedia of
ence, a valuable work, containing 38
useful books in one volume The
work is endorsed in the following un¬
measured terms by Bill Arp:
I have subscribed for this book be
zxs^ssr Cyclopedia in 16 volumes
Appleton's have
t [, at , ne $^6, and I the
Treasury of Knowledge and other
compendiums and reference books
| fc contenTof this
ook ut it is inconvenient to
search so many volumes. Questions
arise every night in their readings
an< d studies and conversation by the
fireside that the inquisitive minds of
youth wish answered and this book
will answer the great majority of
them. Its arrangement is admirable
its index clear and it is gotton up in
such an attractive form as will invite
the young folks to study it. It is a
household library within itself and
comes down to later date than any
work I have yet seen. If I was not
provided with Appleton and other
expensive books I should deem this
book invaluable for my own use. I
expect to make use of it any how for
it will save me much labor aud many
steps to my library. It contains
enough to educate a man and make
him not only learned but accomplish¬
ed. It is grammar, geography, his¬
tory, mathematics, chronology and
all religions. It is law and medicine
and commerce. Indeed there is not
a subject that I now recall that is not
embraced within its pages.
I wish that every family in the land
was able to purchase it for the house
hold. Cha’s H. Smith.
