SOCIAL si ,x tf | PERSONAL * ^ OLA JONES 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 will officiate and preach at the Episcopal Church Sunday after¬ noon at four oclock.

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.
