A CAPT\IN’S DISCOVERY.
Mr. Thomas S. Methvin, of the firm
of E. E. Jones & r 'o., very narrowly
escaped death last Thursday night.
tic had been down’ in Oglethorpe
County and was returning home, bat
wh-’n he got here Fridayjnight he waB
in a decidedly worse ahape^ than when
he left.
Mr. Methvin wa« driving through
Oglethorpe county Thursday night and
w is heading towards Lexington where
he intended stopping for the night.
He had passed the Glade and was
within a few miles of Lexington
The night was veiy dark
and strong and he codlrt
hardly see his hand before him. The
wind whistled mournfully through -the
trees and everything combined to make
the night a meat disagreeable one.
His horse whs trotting along niceiy,
when suddenly he stopped and at the
fame time Mr. Methvin felt his buggy
pi vo way and sink. Then the hora
slipped down and in a few moments.,
the horse, the buggy and the man were
descending rapidly through the air to
the ground below.
He had driven into a thirty foot ra
vine, and soon struck tjto bottom with
the buggy on top of him.
Ti e fall had stunned him badly. His
head was gashed and bia face scratched
up, but luckily no bones were broken.
l’he next thing was to get out of the
ravine and secure medical aid. H-
knew nothing of the nature of the plac*
into which he had driven and the Are'
thing that suggested itself was to at
tempt to climb out.
Mr Methvin scrambled around an.-’
hunted for s >me means to help him out
He found two old rails in the gully an
placed one against the side and starter
to climb.
When he reached the top of the rail,
he found that he was still far aw»>
from safety, lie then pulled op tin
other rail and placed it recurely in po
sition and mounted higher.
\\ ,en he reached its height he groper’
out i:i the darkness, but found that tl«
feiii. of the ravine still extended up
ward. Taking out his pocket knife h*
excavated holes in the side of the bill,
and step by step mounted until almost
exhausted be reached the top.
It was oot long before he had sum*
mooed assistance and the horse and
buggy, badly demolished, were taken
out while Mr. Mrtbvin went on to Lex
intrfon. There Dr. Mark Willingham

acme days ago, telle a strange story of a
diseovery made by him when his vessel
bud been driven out ef its course dur
ing a storm some weeks age.
He taaded up and down the eosst, do
ing basinass among the inhabitants ol
M!*nds and coast village*, between
here and San Siege. OaL, and, while on
his last trip, a heavy wind drove him
far out of hie way, and when the storm
abated he feoad that be was so far out
•f hk usual path that ha had lest hit
wehening. Be was out of sight ol
shore, and when they saw land they
bore down upon it and found an island
that was not down on any of the oharts.
He sent a boat ashore, and the men re
turned. saying that no one lived there,
but that there were many houses and
evidences ef the plaoe having at one
time been inhabited. The captain then
went ashore himself, and found that
the island had undoubtedly been swept
by a scourge ef some kind, which bad
carried off every living being.
There were numerous huts, shewing
that at one time there had been many
people living there, bat not a living
thing was to be found. An examina
tion revealed the fact that the forraei
residents had died in each numbers
that they had not been buried, but the
skeletons were lying around the island
where the people had been when death
had overtaken them. In one hut were
found the remains of seventeen people,
while in many others were the bones of
great numbers. They had been dead
for such a time that the bones were
beginning to deoay. There was little
to be found to show what kind of peo
ple they were, but it is supposed
that they belonged to one of the island
tribes which were so abundant in this part
of the ooast fifty years ago. Of course
there can only be conjecture as to the
probable cause of the wiping out of an
entire tribe, but the knowledge of the
fearful sweep of scourges on otiier
islands leads to the belief that a pesti
lence swept off the inhabitants.

he returned to his home in Athens.
While uot serious, Mr. Methvin’^
wounds were very painful, a gas
across the forehead, eyes nearly closed,
ami hi* whole body bruised up, such
w. re the results of his accident, and it
wa« certainlv a miracle tbat they were j
not worse.
The cuise of the accident is explained
in tlii* manner.
There has recently been cat a new

in the darkness, Mr. Metbvin bad

It was certainly a thrilling accident,
and a night not soon to be forgotten by
th** gentleman who played the principal
part in it.

Yes sir,” said Mr. Martin, of Klein

‘ The fact of the business is, we’ve

‘You are going to offer big bargains

“Going to,”'was the reply. “We are

and we must sell.”

time before we arrived at an end .of * sudtx
questions. But still the original question-
lemained, for asking one does not answer
another, and does not necessarily help in
answering it „
It is generally conceded by all true
chuicbes ot Christ tbat meetings for prayer
on the part of the members are essential to
their spiritual pro-perity and growth, if
not to their very existence. Chiisianity
is social in its tendency, nnd recognizes
meeting for social worship. The mem
bers of a church have interests and wants
in common. And to meet these warns
they are dependent upon God. And to re
ceive spit Dual blessing from God they ate
to a»k for them. He says, “I will for this
be inquired of by the house of Israal to do
it for them.” Jesus taught tbe need of

A Yonnj

When 13 years old Wright enlisted, be

IH XU
Youngstown, O., special says: Ed-
L. Wright, the yonugest soldier
enlisted in the Union Army and
meeting together of those who need tbe
thingsasked for in Buch prayer. Aud He
promises blessings to thqse who meet in
His name. .And the custom of His disci
ples, especially afu r His asceusinn, was to
meet for prayer. And the instruction of
the apostles to the primitive cbnrcbea
shows, tbat it was necessary, as well as a
custom, for them to have prayer-meetings.
And such has been the custom ot evangeli
cal churches in all times. Indeed, it is
regarded as presumption to expect a church
to prosper without prayer-meetings. They
may for a time prosper outwardly through
the popularity of tbeir pastors, but the vi
tality aud moral power of a church will
not exist lom: when they cease to have
meetings for social prayer. And in such
meetings there must be life, earnestness,
fervency, to have them effectual or avail
ing with God. A cold indifference, a life
less formality, does uot meet tbe necessity
<>f the case. There must be tbe feeling,
the earnest pleading of him who said, “1
will not let tnee go except thoo bless me.”
