The meetings are reported to be quite interesting, aud many manifestations of the spirit have been plainly visible from the com. mencemeiit. Both night and day the services are attended hy large multi tudes. Mr. Titos. D. Stewart, the popular superintendent of the M. E. Sunday School, at this place, delivered a stir ring lecture on “Sunday School Work,” at the Methodist church, last Wednes day evening. A large and appreciative audience greeted him on this occasion, and garnered many new and interest ing idea* about the subject so ably handled hy this scholarly gentleman. Rev. W. F.

CUPID’S P«aMCs». Judge Hiram Lester aud Mrs. Most ly Will Cousumate their Nuptial Vows He fore the Grand Stamf at tli.‘ Piedmont Exposition. Henry county will, und uibtedlv. fur nish the greatest attraction ever exhib it* d at the Piedmont Exposition. JCDGE HIRAM LESTER. As has been stated in another col umn, .Mr. A. 11. S. Davis has secured the services of Judge Hiram Lester, and will have on exhibition this the oldest man on the globe. » Since securing the Judge, Mr. Da vis has discovered that the old cente narian’s mind is not altogether free from the foibles, of youth, and that lie longed to bask in the bright smiles of a middle aged, though buxom mat ron. Upon becoming apprised of this fact, Mr. Davis set about immediately to help Cupid in the consunmtion of his task ; and in consequence there will be a wedding. This wedding will differ from the usual order of things in several mate rial respects, to wit : It will occur be fore the grand stand on the Exposition grounds one day next week—the date has not as yet been definitely fixed. Gov. Nortlien is expected to officiate. The groom, Judge Lester, is only one hundred and twenty-four years of age, while his intended bride, Mrs. Moselv, a young ami tender maiden its comparison fo the groom, lias only seen about seventy winters. NIGHT STARS. Pleasant Meeting and Sparkling Pro duction by a Young Lady Member. Another one of the enjoyable meet ings of the reading club was held at the elegant home ol Col. T C. Nolan last Friday night. A good attendance was present, and the usual exercises were spitted with a sparkling original production hy Miss Lois Bryan, which caught the club. Many enthusiastic compliments were extended Miss Lois after the reading by the members, and in response to a gen eral request from them we print the production in full. It is us follows: This great literary club is called the “Night Stars” I believe, and very bril liant they aretoo, are they not ? What would you think of representing each one of these gentlemen as a planet? Suppose we commence with ('ol. Brown aud call him Jupiter, the brightest star that adorns the heavens. As.the varieties of light and shade which characterize tlie disk of Jupiter are subject to variations, so are the lights and shades which go to make up Col. Brown’s outward appearance sub ject to variations also. Where these changes produced in Jupiter are caused by clouds in his atmosphere, the changes produced in Col. Brown are caused by It is seeming to try to adapt himself to the company he is in. We do not speak of the Col’s real self, for it is at rare intervals that we get a glimpse of that, hut of his appearance to a casual observer. When you come to a telescopic view of hitn, though,with a good telescope, both reflecting and refracting, the view is indeed magnifi cent. When Galileo directed the first telescope to the examination of Jupiter he observed four minute stars which at tended this planet in his orbit around the sun, giving light to it in a similar manner as the moon does to the earth. Direct your thoughts to Col. Brown aud you will discover four well devel oped points of character which will light his path through life, “His love of ease, his love of self, his love of dreaming and his love of uttering bright remarks on all occasions. Col Brown is dis similar to Jupiter in one thing, he does not move as rapidly. Howev er I will speak in behalf of the club atitj say that we are proud of this brilliant star, for by his luminous rays we are often helped to see things more plain ly than we would if we had him not. Next in order comes Mercury. We seldom have a favorable opportunity of observing this planet. It is only at times that it is visible, for Dr. Tye like Mercury keeps his illuminated hemis phere turned towards the sun. There is only one sun known to the l)r. (you cau easily imagine what that is) and he hiings all his intellectual faculties to bear upon this Solar system, leaving the dark and uninteresting side for us to gaze upon. He will not turn his ilfu minuted hemisphere towards us long enough to flash his rays iuto the midst of this club as Critic. We now come to Saturn. Thin planet with hiu many rings Hint satcl lites is w**l| reprt'sentflti by Mr. M. Lowe. Ilia secretary likes uotliing (letter l Inin to he surroumlt d by his I many girl admirers, lie revels in “qua kertlirip?,’ he dotes oil love ditties, he huhliles over with sentiment mu! twinkles lovingly at the |>oor credulous liitle satellites revolving around him. | But a voice is heard in the distance singing that old song, “Don’t trust him girls, he is fooling yon.” Ihe planet I’allao with its rnddv appearance and irregularity of form re minds one of Mr. dolmnie Lowe with his rose colored features and anything but symmetrical figure Ihe planet that revolves in the ex treme limit of the Solar system is Ura nus. The member of this club that manages to B et in the most remote corner aud wears the most disinterested ’ook that was ever manufactured is Mr. Newman. I hardly think it would be possible for any one to become so accomplished in the art of smiling resignedly as this young gentleman. \ esta though it is the smallest plan et that revolves in the planetary course has the lustre of a much larger star, presenting a most pleasing appearance to the eye of the beholder and Mr. Will Harper, though he ranks among the smallest in size of the club, is no less pleasing in appearance than the beau tiful star, Vesta. We will have to cull Mr. Lem Car mieliael the north star, I guess, as he is always on hand and ever ready, espec tally ready to second all the motions that are made. Mr. Earnest Smith is simply a little “twinkler,” perhaps the one that first put it into the head of the Author to write that far famed little poem “Twinkle, twinkle little star.” We take up now the Comet, the greatest light that ever swept theheav ens. This great shining body flashes athwart the sky and there reigns su prente for a season, then vanishes. Mr. Du Bose, tike the Comet, lias come among us for a sho.t while, when he is to leave perhaps never to return. When he first arrived, lie came in a manner most startling to oui quiet little commu nity—leaving his brilliancy trailing far behind him wherever lie chose to go. And fair maidens with eyes open ed wide looked on wondertogly, for is it not a rare thing to see a Comet, es pecially such an overwhelming awe striking one as this ? And the plauets, where were they—some turned green with envy, while others became pale and sickly looking, for none could cope with this wonderful thing But now they have become more us«d to this glaring light, and it does not strike them as forcibly as at first, and then too the President is a little subdued of late, owing perhaps to so much imperial grandeur, for who can wear the impe rial without also wearing mi extra amount of dignity, which of course must he a little wearing oil one’s spir its. May the “Night Stars” twinkle mer rily on for the season undisturbed, sprinkling sparks of friendship, love and pleasure in the heart of each fellow member.
