Meet »>»«* they mMmntntU Mike New Rich Bleedl oclluly Letter rraml'artcravilto. Since oar Inst letter wm writ ten the Sam Jonen Tabernacle meetings bare been held. These meetings are a fixture in oar town. Sam Jones proposed that if any number of persone would bay n tract of ten acres adjoining the Western part of the town, be would erect, at bis own expense, a ttbernscie to bold fntir or five tUunsaad people The money wm raised, and Sam Jones built a tabernacle—a huge abed with huge roof. The building in 100 by 220 feet. At the CMtern aide, which ia the low sal side. *. roa tram man entirely across the length of the tabernacle, estima ted to bold from 900 to 1006 peo pie A piano and organ both were used to help the music, and Prof. Excell, of Chicago, led the choir. He baa a wonderful voice, soft, sweet, rich and of large vol ume But be is not as good an or ganizer as Prof. Maxwell, who led the singing last year, and though the singing wm very fine, the general opinion ie that it wae (letter last year than it wm this. The preaching was mainly done I y Rev. Hugh Johnston, of T> ronlo, Canada, (Methodist) Rev. Dr. Lockwood, of Cincinnati, (Baptist) and Sam Jones, though a number of sermons was preach ed by other ministers. It fell to the lot of ynor cor respondent to presch on Sunday night to what was perhaps the second largest congregation of the meeting. While 1 am not sure shout this last point, I am sure that it required some effort to speak so as to he heard by a ! crowd of that size out in the open 1 air. Outside of Sam Jones' pecul iarities, the attraction of the meet ing was the Baptist preacher from Cincinnati. He charmed the crowds that visited the Tab ernacle from Monday till Friday. Unusually handsome, young— shout 34, vivid imagination, with rapid, but very distinct utterance, be impressed himself upon all who heard him, m a most re mark ably able and .eloquent preacher. What pleased me most was that he preached the old fashioned gospel. Mr. Johnston, of Canada, is a man of most ex cellent spirit, of real ability and 1 very much eojoyed bis sermons. Sam Junes wma as much Sam Jonca as ever, if not a little more so. Those who judge Sam by the clippings they see of him in the newspapers have a poor no lion of what sort of a man he Is These clippings taken apart front the other parts of his dis course put him generally in an unenviable light. To appreciate him, and know him, we must sec him through a scries of discours es, and especially in the Talier nacle here where he is at his best. The people of Georgia don't sre much of Sam these days, because the Constitution don't sav much aiiout him now as it used to. 1 have beard that one of the edi tors of the Constitution got mad with him about something he said in Atlanta in one of his ser mons, and from that time on the the Constitution has ceased to ad vocatc him. But i( any of your readers imagine that Sam is wa vering, or losing his grip on the public, they are very much mis taken. He never was so popular, and he never was so strong as he is nsw. He is steadily growing. I do not suppose he reads books much—in fact I know he don’t— but he reads men a great (leal, and in the work he follows, he is in a position to catch the best thought of the age by contact with others, by observation, with out the trouble of poring over books to find it out. He is continually in demand in the large cities of the North and West, where his audiences run up from five to fifteen thousand. I do not know bow much mon ey he is tusking, but be announc ed from the rostrum that for ev ery day he was here in the Tab ernacle be wm offered $250 by aome agency in Boston that sup plies speakers and preachers for temperance gatherings, camp- meetings and the like. There is a wonderful magnet ism about the man, that makes you listen to every sentence be niters. You msy not like it, you msy dislike much of it, m I do, and m others do, bat yoa will listen nil the same. This much I have felt free to write without supposing that anybody will think it follows that I approve of his theology or his style of preach ing. Ol tbn Brat 1 do not beoi tale to say that it ia frequently fearfully heterodox, and the latter is open to severe criticism from many standpoints. Bat with all that be is a remarkable man, and :s steadily winning apoo the public. “Your readers may Mk: “What of the result of the ten days meet ingsr The visible results were small, very small, only seven pro feasions of conversions having come to my knowledge. What other good wm done, no one can tell, at least for the present. Sam Jones thought that the unification of Christian feeling 'and sentiment ia the town, brought about by thw- meet ing, wan well worth al the of the meeting, which, by the way, wm very large directly and indirectly. Maybe he is right, bat my opinion is that the Mctb- 0 lists are as much Methodist, aod the Presbyterians as much Presbyterians as they were be fore, while the Baptist are as much Baptist as ever, and I think a good deal more so. Of course the meeting did some good, I bo|ie much good, but tilers are those amongst us who are serious in the fear that there are evils in connection with such meetings that more than counterbalance the good. 1 have liecn very busy at work all this summer. I have aided in meetings at Ccdartown, Madison, Acworllt, and Calhoun. Last Thursday I went out over a moun tain road, and spoke to a crowd of 730 children from ten different Sunday schools. Triday and Saturday I was at our associa tion al Adairsville, and Sunday I preached three seruioaa in my own church. Speaking of the Association, reminds me lbal£my church} has contributed this year, strictly to missions abroad $420,00, besides doing a large amount of charity work here at home. As to cro|>«, corn is splendid. A full crop is made, and 1 expect to boy ail 1 need fur my “Iron Gray” al 40 cents a bushel. Cotton is cut off from tehal it promised altout one third. Still we will mske a fair crop. This .country is getting ready for the Peidmont Exposition. It will make a fine showing in the way of farm products, while in the wsy of minerals it will lie still better. Many fine apeci mens of manganese and iron ore will be ot hand—one of iron ore weighing 3000 pounds. I ( am glad to see that Cuthbert is holding her own and improving, and that the ExtewkibiJ* doing so well. But I have written enough for one letter. A little later I hope to ace many of your readers in Cuthbert. Very truly yoart, Wm. H. Cuornt A clergyman remarks to an ex change that people seldom think of paying a minister for preach ing a funeral sermon, though they usually expect to com pen sate him for performing the mar riage ceremony. Labor is re quired to prepare a funeral ser mon; no preparation ia necessary to |tcrform the marriage service. Again, the minister is called up on to attend funerals in all kinds of weather—travel long distances, through snows and rains, endan gering his own health, often in curring sickness and it ia a thankless job. An editor is requir ed to inquire of all the relatives in order to write up a prope r obituary, and if be happens to make the least error in the dates or does not add sufficient eulogy to the life of the deceased, he is condemned for his stupidity. But the doctor gels big fees and the lawyer takes the balance.

The smallest act of charity shall stand us in the greatest stead. A noble nature can alone at tract the noble, and alone knows how to retain them. Circumstances form the char acter; but, like petrifying mat ters. they harden while they form. The great high road of human welfare lies along the old highway of steadfast well doing. Every to morrow has two hand les. We can take hold of it by the handle of anxiety or the handle nt faith. In life it ia difficult to say who do you the most mischief—ene mies with the worst intentions, or friends with the best. The intellect of man sits en throned visibly upon his forehead and in bis eye; and the heart is written upon bis countenance. We sleep, but the loom never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the snn went down is weaving when it comes up to morrow. Count your resonrccs; learn what you are not fit for. and give up wishing for it. Learn what you can do, and do it with the energy of a man. The essential difference Itetween a good and a bad education is this, that the former draws the child on by making it sweet to him; the latter drives the child to learn, by making it sour to him if be does not. A tender-hearted and compas sionate disposition which inclines men to pity and feel the misfor tnne of others, ami which is even for its own sake incapable of in volving any man in ruin and mis ery, is of all tempers of mind the most amiable; and tbongh it sel dom receives much honor, is worthy of the highest. m u m She was an extremely pretty girl, even for a St. Paulite, and her name—well, society has got it on the list.

Not many years ago a Ken tucky horsed river found himself in a small town in Lumpkin coun ty, Georgia. Having disposed of his stock, be celebrated the fact by going on a spree, and banter ing nearly every mao who would have anything to do with him, for a fight. He aspired to “run the town,” and beiDg a huge, muscular fellow, seemed likely to succeed. No one wanted to accommodate him,* though several intimated that, if nothing hut a fight would do. “Old Hall” would be in town that after noon and, as he was never known to refuse n banter, would doubtless respond to the driver's pugilistic desires. Said one man: “Old Hall! He'll Gglit anything, from a circular saw to a blind preacher.” An other remarked: ‘Why, Old Hall! He’d raylhur light than wear his clothes.” Our driver avowed that if Old Hall didn’t show up, he would have him run down with dogs rather than lose the chance ot whipping him. In the afternoon, sure enough, Old Hall appeared, and was |iointedout to the swag gering Kentuckian as lie stood at the bar of the principal saloon, “takin’ a patch of Georg}' redeye," as he phrased it. Old Hall nns small, lean and vicious looking. The large driver gazed down ou him for a moment, and remarked: “Ef that's yore bully I’ll jest unbully him fer ye in about ten seconds.” Then, walking up lie slapped Old Hall on the shoulder, saying: “Es yore name Hall?” Old Hall—the impersonation of terrier like pugnacity—glared up at him, and replied: “Yes, my name's Hall.” “Well, you’ve got ter fight. Ef yore name's Hall I'll jest change hit to Bawl afore ye know whar yc air.” “You're a liar!” was Old Hall's prompt res|Kinse, and at it they went, without further parley. To the surprise of every one. Hall after a severe tussel, whip- |>cd the driver, who seemed much cast down aud thoroughly cowed. Then the numerous men whom the latter had bantered, bristled up and wanted also to whip the bully. They found an uncxjicct- ed obstacle in Hall, who interpos ed as follows: “The fust man that teches this feller has got ter jump on the two on us.

At the reunion in Gettysburg last month of tbenld soldiers from the North anil Couth, who had fonght each other on the battle field, many touching little inci dents occurred that showed bow cordial was the good feeling be tween the former enemies. “Just here,” said a crippled New Yorker, stopping on the cor nerofaficld, “my leg was shot off.” •Ami just here,” said a man be side him, the sleeve of whose gray coat hung empty, “I lost my arm.” The two men fraternized al once, pitched a tent on the spot that had been ao fatal ta both, and there “kept boose" together luring the whole time of the re onion. Eaeh found the other to be a man of good sense, high principle and good feeling. Tbey ill probably remain friends for life. So many of the once bitter foes exchanged coats, canteens and knapsacks, in token of good will that it became almost impossible to distinguish Northern and Southern soldiers. They pitched their tents togother, most of the men preferring to camp again, in stead of goiDg to the hotels, in or der that they might meet their old antagonists more freely, and discuss every incident of the bat tle, about the bivouac fires. A northern officer brought to Gettysburg a sword, gold hand led and sel with jewels which he had taken from a young Southern er. After the war was over lie had trieil in vain to restore it. He nowfgave it to the command ant of the corps to which its own er belonged, in the hope that it might reach him at last. A large man aod very small one mot on the street “I think I have seen you be- forc?'’£aaid the small man. E*'Ycs, I look yon prisoner,” was the reply. Whereupon’lhcy shook bunds heartily, took dinner to gether and the next day brought a photographer to the spot where they fought and had their pictures taken, standing with uncovered heads and clasped hands. There is much in these inci dents which may seem sentiment al to the generation born after llic war. But to Americans who re member bow mighty were the in terests involved in it, and how desperate was the struggle, these signs of the deep cordial peace which now exists between the North and South have a most pa thetic and lofty meaning.

Consuclo, the eldest, is a slen der little maiden ol some eight of nine years, with pleading dark- gray eyes and a profusion of dark brown hair, which curl# most naturally over her shoulder#. She has very aristocratic littln hands and feet, a fine skin amt a dimpled chin and promises to be a beauty, as well as* a great heiress, some day She has her own little suit# of apartments connecting with the school room, and day nursery on i third floor of her father's while marble mansion, and hM occupied them since the tender age of sis, when she was given a maid's service ami emancipated from the nursery. This includes a bedroom with a sunnv window, set with beautiful stained glass* and inlaid floor with fine Persian rugs, a little brass bedstead, all trimmed in pure while, with trooping while curtains; a little inlaid wardrobe, where she keeps all her gowns; two or three rockers aod chairs of white enamel wood, dainty footrests and two deaf little birds warbling at tbe win dow, besides a number of rare little water color paintings and engravings. This little maiden has no idea of her father’s wealth, although she must know of pov erty, because she belongs to sev eral little societies for tbe relief of tbe poor. She has an allow ance of $5 a week for pin money, out of this she must buy any little toy or book she may desire. She is nut allowed candy, except a little of the best, served after ibe midday dinner. She has to practice on the piano two hours every day,^excepting Sunday, and studies French, German and Italian, besides all the common English branches.

Lizzard Up His f’auts. There is a gentleman who lives near this place who put his tine watch in bis pants pocket and wended his way to the cotton patch for the purpose of hoeing cotton. Soon after chopping up a few bunches of grass he fell something cold on his leg and thought it was a sand culler crawling np his pants.

Flies Walk l>.‘ “I have only known of one in stance where baldness proved re munerative,” said an old gentle man to a St. Louis Globe writer. A friend of mine, who had a shid-' ing pate, fell into the habit watch ing the actions of bis tormentors, the flics. He noticed that a fly always walks upward. Put a fly on a window, and up lie goes to ward the top; be can't be made to walk downward. So my friend bit upon an idea. Why not use that habit against that? Forth with he made a window screen, divided in half. The upper half lap|>ed ovor the lower, with M inch of space between. Well, as soon as a fly would light ou tbs screen he would proceed to travel upward, and would thus walk straight outdoors. On reaching. I he top of tbe lower half be would be outside. Not being able tor walk down, lie bad no way to re turn to tbe room. By this means a room can be cleared of flies which always seek the light. My friend has got out a patent, and proposes to begin a systematic war against the household pest.'* ■ ♦ ■ To bil ls.
