DALY & ARMSTRONG,
MASONIC TEMPLE, Augusta, Ga.
THE HIITOBY OF BAM JONES
It is uot an uncotptnon thiug for a
inau not worth a thousand dollars,
who lives in a small country town in
a plain house not fully paid for, to re
fuse the giltofa ten thousand dollar
house in a large city, and yet that is
wliat Sam Jones did (he other day in
Nashville. And who Is Sam Jones.
Written on the Conference min
utes it reads: ‘‘Samuel Parke. Jones,
Agent Orphans’ Horne,“ but nobody
writes him reverend and everybody
cells him Sam. He is 3(i yea:* old,
was born in Alabama, was brought
up in Georgii. His father was a law
yer and Ins mother a sensible, intelli
gent aud fjrcQlJent woman. Sam was
a precocious boy. He was always
ready for a lively time, a dog tight, a
fisticuff a fishing frolic or a speech
When lie was five years old he
was booked for a s|* ech at a school
exhibition. He ended his speech with
ihc prophecy:
ttoioft day you'll hr lu thun<l*r tout**
The famou* name of Hammy JootM.
He went to the best schools and
took in what lie learned by obsorp
tion. Nobody saw him study, but
he knew more than any of his fellows.
The teachers loved him, laughed at
him and fathered him. He was full
of mischief aud was about lfi years
old when lie began to fall into bad
ways. He was a vagabond, never a
gambler, a thief or a coward, but he
would get on sprees, nimfii to the
grief of Ills good toother and lather.
A antEKI.KSS LAWYER.
His fattier took him into his office
and Sam soon was “S. P. Jones, Esq.,
attorney.at-law.“ He had no prac
tice and no money, but he met a
bright Keutucky girl and married
her. He ran an engine and drove a
dray to make a living. One day Sam
who was employed, in running an en
gine was pinch annoyed by those who
fed the crusher, putting pieces of r*ek
inis ill chopper aud throwing the
whole of the machinery opt of gear.
Sam declared very emphatically hi*
intention to knocit the, head off the
next man who did it. It was done
directly, tiy a burly Irishman. Sam
seized a hammer and knocked the
Irishman down. Next day Sam was
eoudug from liiscnbin and in an open
space, sonic distance from every one
stood his antsgonist of the proceeding
day.
“Ye struck tue ylsterday,” said
l’at; “no man ever strike, me
Oiu&t who does not strike me agaip.”
‘•Now. Pat,” said Sam “we are
even. You did what I told you not
to do, and I knocked you as 1 said I
would ; I don’t bear malice: lets drop
ihe matter.“
A TUKKAT THAT MOTH* arriCCTtI AJ„
But the Irishman declared his <lo
letruination to have a fight then and
there. The Irishman had only one
eye. Sam looked at him with periect
coolness.
“Pat, 1 he said, “I dont want to fight
you I can’t you eonhl whip mo in a
minute ;lmt I can tell you what I will
do, you're got but one eye and it you
lay year hand on me, nn as you are
living. I will gouge voureye out, and
you will be as blind .** a bat.“
That settled it. Pat knew Ids man
and mut icriug : “The moil that will
gouge is a coward." left Sain alone.
One day Cstptain Jones fell sick,
and In a little while the prodigal son
stood by a dying father. He was
broken down with romoi*. The father
died and a great riiange ramp over
Sam. He gave tfj> his bad habit* and
in two weeks lie waa getting ready to
preaeh. That fait I saw him for the
time — a sailow. thin-fiired, slourjiy
little fellow, with a keen blaek eye:
he came to the conference for a cir
cuit. He got one. He went
to it. lie did not know much
about thelogy then, in truth he
dees’nt know much. about It now
but bb k newt non and he knew their
need*, and he began to preach what
made men laugh and he knew. He
he made men cry and he made men
aagry, and one ffaVhVTb>t his temper
and came veryjuear whipping a black
smith who angered hint. Ho wa*
rather nmerciful to men whoso
religion was ail month or all tears.
IX THE OOXEEBHSCK.
In two years we took Sam into the
pouferencc ami settled it that he
would do. Since then he has wou ins
way. He can draw a larger audi
ence in Atlanta to-day than Gough
could, or Edwin Booth did. He went
to Memphis, to Huntsville, to Knox
ville, to Brooklyn and at last to Nash
ville. They built him a great tent
there. They abused him, placarded
him, threatened him and rallied round
him. The result of three weeks
meetings was 1,000 new members to
the churches and 2,oooconversions.
Sam Jones sayings have become
common property. They are his own.
They are gathered from all sources,
and they always have a point. 11 Broth
er Jones,'* said a nervous brother.
-what makes you chew tobacco?"
“To get the jeice out,“ said Sam. Sum
Jones Is like nooiic and no one is like
Sam Jones, who loves the good, scorn
Ihe meau and helps Ihe weak.—Cor
respondent Philadelphia Times.
HADItIStCES IN HIS POCKET
A minister in one of our orthodox
churches, while oil his wav to preach
a funeral sermon in tlie country called
to see one of his members, an old
lady, who had just been making sau
sages, and as she felt very
proud ot them, insisted on
the minister taking some of
the links home to his family. After
wrapping Ihc sausages In a cloth the
minister carefully l aced the bundle
lu the [locket of his great coat. Thus
equipped he storied for funeral. While
attending the solemn ceremonies of
the grave some hungry dogs scented
the sausages, aud were not long in
tracking them to the pocket of the
good man’s overcoat. Of course this
•vas a great annoyance, and he was
several limes under the necessity of
kicking, the whelps away. The obse
quies of the grave completed, I lie
minister and tiic congregation re
paired to thechurch, where the funer

lister halted some remark to his con
gregation, when a brother, wishing to
have an appointment given out, as
cended the stairs of the pulpit and
gave the minister’* coal a hitch to
get his attention. The divine, think
ing it a dog haring designs on his
pocket, raised hi* foot, gave a sudden
kick, amt seut the good brother

had just dunep'torl could not avoid it.
I have sausage* in my pocket, and

The New England Puritans, or at
least a portion oflhem, are seemingly
engaged in an attempt to whitewash
the memory of their ancestors. One
learned minister, Ilev. Freely, lias eon
iribtilcd a paper on the life of Cotton
Mather, in whirh, after giving a bi
ographical sketch ot this great but fa
natical old minister, ami an account ot
the 400 literary works with which he
affi’eted the colony, he stales •' t
“Cottoh Mather was a urjaMßf...e
abolition of
outlons In New England.y
this is true in a cerlaln sense. Ulifter
Mather’s influence the witchcraft per.
seditions were carried to such a dia
bolical extreme that the reaction ot
public sent.ment was bound to take
place. Mallicr fought the :eaction,
however, to the last. It was tacitly
agreed at the meeting at whirh this
paper as read, to excuse “on r ances
tors,” on tlie ground that their action
compared favorably with those ot
oilier people at that time, when the
whole world was overwhelmed with
the belief in witchcraft. Cannibalism
and all the horrible rites of savages
can be excused on the same plea. Thu
New Englanders might draw a veil
over the scenes of murder in which
innocent children were executed un
der the charge ot being witches, but
they should not endeavor to throw a
glamour ot glory over the persecutors.
