Dr. and Mrs. Pearson have been
the guests this week of Mr. and
Mrs. Palmer Simpson. They go
next Saturday to Pensacola, Fla.
where Dr.Pearson will have a meet¬
ing beginning Sunday morning.
The Editor of the Greenville
Mountaineer said in one of his arti¬
cles about the glorious meeting
which Dr. Pearson recently closed
at Greenville, that from a meeting
held at Greenville by this same
evangelist, about eight years ago,
had come a general spiritual up-
lifting of the people of that com-
munity, that the growth during
this decade was greater than dur-
ing the two or three decades pre-
ceding it, and that many of the
prominent members in the churches
there now were the converts of
that meeting.
During this last meeting the busi-
ness houses closed every day, and
at night the main audience room of
the church, which was reserved for
the men alone, was packed; while
the gallery, given up to the women ’
would not hold all who attended,
and an overflow meeting, conduct¬
ed by Airs. Pearson, was held in
the lecture room.
On the last Friday of the meeting
Dr. Pearson preached to the chil-
aien. All the schools and
closed, and it was estimated that
there weie a thousand young heai-
ers, while the gallery was packed
with ladies.
A circulating library for distrib¬
uting religious literature, somewhat
like the one Airs. Pearson organ¬
ized in Toccoa, was begun there,
and in it they have the Colportage
Series of books. These books are
published in Chicago by the Col¬
portage Association, of which Air.
Aloody is president. They are in¬
expensive, are bound in paper, and
the print is clear. They are selected
from the best books in the world
and are published in this cheap form
to compete with the trashy litera-
ture which is doing so much harm.
The books are issued one every
month, and this is the third year of
their publication. A!any other \al-
uable books will be added to the
already interesting list.. A great
many people in Toccoa are familiar
with one or two of them, viz. :
“Probable Sons” and “Light on
God’s Duties.” For one who wants
to do good with limited means there
is, perhaps, no better, cheaper
more delightful way than to scatter
these books among not only the
poor, but also people who do not
know what to read. They cost
only 15c. per copy with postage
paid. Air. Aloody secured the pri-
vilege of sending them through the
U. S. mails postage free.
-o Recently t I 1 had a h tie pea sure
tulking with a very notec man and
hn charming wife, and when he
was giving me some facts on a cer-
tain subject, his vn e w m is also
noted or n c* roa igcitce an
or.nation, . correcte
coirect in a
point in what he was telling. Each
was equally sure of being right, and
after a vain effort to convince each
other, the wife said : “mouse” and
he laughingly replied “rat, and the
subject was changed, and the gentle-
man told us the following to ex-
plain their quotations : An old cou-
pie that had been living happily to-
gether for forty years were sitting
together one night by their fireside
when something belonging to the
rat tribe came out of a hole in the
ceiling and darted past them over
the hearth. “Oh, there is a mouse !”
she exclaimed. “No,” he objected
“it w r asn’t a mouse, it was a rat.
“But it wasn’t a rat, it was a
mouse.” “But I say it was a rat. } 5
“It wasn’t, it was a mouse.”
“I know it was a rat.” “Well I
know it was a mouse, and so on
ad infinitum until they separated
cause of their inability to agree.
Sometime ^ . passed, an finu }
they found that life was very sad
without each other ’ and made np
and went back to their home. They
%vere a gam sitting thoughtful and
3 \\ hen the wi e bro e t le si
^ ence • do ' v foolish we were to
ba ^ e ad that iuss about a paltiv
mouse. lie arose with the most
tnigic expression upon his ace, an
with a gesture which indicated
that he would not suffer his word
to be disputed, said “But it was a
R-A-T.! ! ” She, nothing daunted,
contended that it wa*s a mouse,
while he raved over the rat, and so
another separation followed, and
this time they were so widely sun¬
dered that no man could bring
them together again.
As much as Air. Benson’s novel,
i‘P)odo,” was condemned, it is said
that it was so truly characteristic
Q f £h e c bq lle G f which it was writ¬
ten? that the characters were m-
stantaneously picked out and iden¬
tified by London society. Never¬
theless, Air. Benson did not grasp
the possibilities of his heroine, for
the woman whom “Dodo 5 5 repre¬
sented developed very differently
and much more satisfactorily than
the tantalizing “Dodo.
Air. Benson’s father, as the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, was request¬
ed by the Queen to deliver a series
of sermons condemning Sunday
entertainments, in which the Prince
of Wales was taking a leading in¬
terest. The Archbishop found
himself in an exceedingly embar-
rassing position, But the Prince
came in very gracefully to help him
* n j ds p r i es tly predicament, by say-
ing, “I understand the matter per-
| f ec tly and bear no grudge against
you# No one will pay any attention
j j tbe sermons any way.”
| It is reported that Airs. Hunger-
ford, better known to the reading
world as the “Duchess,” is dead.
However, we cannot be quite sure
of anything we read about celebri-
ties since we have discovered that
Paderewski is not mad, and that
Ellen Beach Yaw isn’t dead at all.
The Duchess’s books cannot be
said to have any literary value, and
the critics speak of them very
harshly, but “Phyllis,' her first
and best book, written soon after
ber drst husband’s death to keep
the wolf from the door, is made
readable by the humorous situations
and the bright, crisp dialogues
which make such delightful dessert
after heavy reading.
Her nom de guerre was suggested
and adopted while she was writing
t -Phyllis, by some one’s jokingly
introducing • her at a reception as
« Her Grace the Duchess.”

Aliss Effie Stribling, of West-
minster, S. C., spent one day with
her cousin, Aliss Coral Capps, on
her way to Cox College, at Man
Chester, near Atlanta.
Mr. J. B. Simmons wiote and
read before the Ministers’ and Wor¬
kers’ Union, Tuesday morning, a
most excellent paper on “Confor¬
mity to the World.” This paper
was so good, so evidently from the
heart and so full of apropos Scrip¬
ture quotations that I should like
to give it the public, and would but
for its length making it impracti¬
cable.
President and Mrs. Cleveland are
expected to arrive at Princeton,
their future home, about March the
6th, and of the three grand recep*
tions to be given to introduce them
to Princeton society, the first is to
be tendered by the faculty of the
college, at President Patten’s house.
President Cleveland himself will
also give a reception soon after his
arrival.
Airs. W. C. Edwards entertained
the little friends of her son, Claude,
last Friday evening in the liospita-
ble > enjoyable way characteristic of
one who loves to give pleasure to
others; and it is needless to say
that the little folk bidden to this
party were as happy that evening
as only children can be.
Little Henry McClure went last
Thursday to Atlanta to have his
operation performed at the Grady
Hospital. While there he will be
under the supervision of Mrs. Rob-
ert Lowry, who has been greatly
interested in him by her friend,
Airs. Edward Schaefer, of this
place.
Aliss Laura AlcCall, of Chicago,
who is representing J. II. Moore
& Co.’s Publishing house, at Phil¬
adelphia, Pa., spent Friday after¬
noon at the public school. Miss
AlcCall, having been a teacher six
years, was an interested and inter¬
esting visitor.
There was no school Monday on
account of the extremely bad wea¬
ther. The streets were so slick
with ice that several prominent and
altogether pious gentlemen were
seen dancing the “Highland Fling 5 »
in public places.
Archdeacon Walton of Atlanta

CARNESVILLE CULLINGS.
Newsy Notes from Our Neigh¬
boring City.
Special Correspondence to The Times.
With the new year the capital of
Franklin lobs up serenely and is
still in the march of progress.
Among the new buildings just
erected are Mrs. E. E. McIntyre’s
new residence, a ten room house,
which is an ornament to the town
a ui a model dwelling, The new
parsonage of the Methodist church
is completed and is now occupied
b >' tbe new minister; it is a credi-
table edifice and would ornament a
much more pretentious place than
our btt * e city*
A. W. McConnell is just com-
pitting a large and commodious
store room, where he is carrying a
stock of wagons, buggies, musical
instruments, furniture, etc.
Mrs. E. L. Goode, of Toccoa,
has a handsome four room cottage
nearly completed.
A> N King and L. J. Green
| iave erected a combination build-
ing on the square, that is to be used
as a store room and three offices,
Rampley Bros, are making im-
provements on the brick house oc-
cupied by Prof. W. H. Cobb.
The Carnesville high school has
about 150 students in attendance,
and it is doing good work. Prof.
Cobb and Aliss Leona Wright seem
to be excellent teachers, and are
giving entire satisfaction to their
patrons and pupils.
The blizzard and the grip have
had everything in their grasp for
several days.
Col. W. R. Little has had the
most severe case of grip of any of
our citizens. He was confined to
his room for several days, and was
threatened with pneumonia.
Elisha Smith an old and respected
citizen who lived some five miles
from town, died Saturday morn¬
ing last, he was about 80 years old
and one of the county’s best citi¬
zens and leaves a large circle of
relatives and friends in this and
Madison County, who mourn his
demise. The business outlook for
the New Year is unusually good
and the town holds its own and
seems to be doing well in all lines
of business. There is talk of tele¬
phone connection from this place
direct to Toccoa via Red Hill and
Tabor, this line would be a great
convenience to the business men of
this place and Toccoa .
On account of the cold weather
no mails departed from or around
here, Alonday, a thing that has not
happened at this place for a long
time.
The Gainesville Eagle says the
following about Judge Kimsey :
It is a pleasure for us to know,
while there is so much talk and in-
vestigation going on about judicial
misconduct among several of Geor¬
gia’s Superior Court Judges, that
we have a judge to preside over our
circuit above any sort of suspicion
or reproach.
In selecting a judge to preside
over them, the people ought to look
closely into his morals, and select
only those who are morally quali-
fied tor the position as well as le-
In Judge Kimsey we have a man
who is not only a well equipped
lawyer and conscientious in the dis-
charge of his official duties, but who
is also a Christian gentleman and a
man who from boyhood has led an
upright, sober, consecrated life.*
We congratulate the people of
the Northeastern Circuit in having
such a judge to preside over them.
