At a meeting of the Piedmont Rifles
recently it was decided that a
fair would be held in the armory
some time about the last of October
for the purpose of raising funds to aid
the military boys in thoroughly equip
ping the company. ^
The young ladies will render their
services in making the lair a success.
They will do fancy needle work, fix up
all manner of nice things for the occas
ion, and will by their presence lend
charm and attraction. ; They will serve
refreshments and in many ways aid in
making the fair a prominently success
ful undertaking.
The merchants of the city will he
called upon by the proper persons to
make suitable contributions for , the
occasion. Many things will he auc
tioned off to the highest bidder, and
many more will be rallied. Probably
an entertainment or two will he given,
and possibly a dance on one evening.
Drilling will be a prominent feature.
The fair will last about four or five
days, perhaps, and it can be stated
now that the Rifles will earry it
through to. a successful finish. It will
be a great time and everybody inter
ested will enjoy it.

/ After two pages giving a detailed ac
count of each day’s exercises, the
Maysville, Mo., Herald gives the fol
lowing account of the last day:
Monday the usual morning exercises
of the day were held, at the conclusion
/<# .which Col. HAm gave his lec
ture, “Old Times in Dixie.” This
was a fitting finale to the Chau
tauqua. He depicted the scenes
and incidents of plantation life in a
manner to make . the .picture almost
i4alUnd recalled to many a mind happy
incidents gone never to again return.
He declared the old colored mammy of
tips South was the queen of the planta
tion; the overseer bossed the negroes,
the owner of the plantation bossed the
overseer, his wife bossed him and the
mammy bossed the wife. The colored
mammy was a personage of great im
portance. She knew everything per
taining to ike plantation, was consult
ed on every occasion, and from whose
edicts there was no appeal. He related
many touching incidents, sang planta
tion songs in a manner to delight his
audience and- to reveal him asa vocalist
Who might rival those of much more
pretentions. But it is no use to extend
this reference to him or his lecture
here. Suffice it to say, everybody re-
spects fand loves Col. Hath, not only for
hfa'ability as a platform speaker, but
for His • genial, honest, manly worth
and the high character of the man
himself. - After the lecture of Mr. Ham
Pryor’s band gave its last music on the
pfotforud, the quartette sang their fare
well song. Prof. Jelly led the singing
of that beautiful hymn, “God be with
you ’tii we meet again.” Rev. Vielton
of Amity* closed with the benediction.
The audience then left the tent and

Pryor’s band, marched once aroniid' the

<aot preached ia told by the Baltimore
Herald. The sermon was written by the
Rev. D. B. Greigg, and the subject of
it—the “Unemployed Masses”—was
announced in the usual course in the
Saturday papers. One of the papers sent
a reporter to Mr. Greigg’s house and se
cured a copy—or perhaps an abstract—
of the sermon and put it in type for the
Monday issue.
At that time evangelistic services
were being conducted. thrcughoiit thif
city, and the committee in charge oi
them sent several speakers to address
Mr. Greigg’s Sunday evening congrega
tion. He at once gave way to the evan
gelists, and the sermon he had prepared
was net preached, bnt was laid aside for
another occasion. The next morning,
however, the daily papers contained a
long report of the sermon which was
■ sis yet undelivered. 1
On that particular Monday morning
there was in Baltimore a homeless and
penniless young Scotchman. Every hour
his prospects had seemed to grow darker,
and finally desperation crushed out what
little hope bad been left in his heart
He determined on suicide.
With his last- few pennies he pur
chased poison enough to end all and was

glance would have been but a passing
one if he had not noticed the headline,
“To the Unemployed Masses. ” This
phrase struck a responsive chord, and h«
read the abstract of Mr. Greigg’s dis
course.
Then ,it occurred to him that a min*
ister who preached such a sermon might
be interested in his case. The better
mau in him rose, and he made up his
: oiind to search out the preacher if only
as a last resort.
Securing Mr. Greigg’s address, he
went to thehouse and Was received with
a heartiness that changed desperation
into hope. The preacher himself was a
Scotchman and listened with interest to
the discouraged man’s story. What was
more, he promised help. He communi
cated with the Scotch societies of the
city, and many hands were extended to
the young stranger in distress. He was
given temporary aid and finally a posi
tion, which he is now worthily filling.
'"'And. this was the result of a sermon

in hunting wild animals are adopted
generally. The other day Mr. Owen and
Oliver Peaker were in the Jicarilla
mountains, having several hunting dogs
with them, but no guns. Besides cap-
toiing two wil^ats and one fox,, their
hounds got on the fresh trail of a hnge
mountaiii lion, which had just gorged
itself with the fresh veal from a calf it
bad killed. The lien had taken refuge
from its pnrsuers in a tree when Messrs.
Owen and Peaker came np and drove it
off its perbh frith clnbs. This was re
peated until i% reached its third resort
Here Mr. Owen, being an expert cow
man, and realizing that a few dogs and
two unarmed men could not -hope to
capture an animal of this character by
| means of noise and only clubs and stones
for weapons, concluded to adopt the
l rope which he knew so well how to use.
Taking his lariat in his hand, he climbed
the tree to within ahont six feet of the
: lion, and, making the throw with care
and precision; the animal was caught
around thfifieek just as he was ready to
spring at hik ciiptor. Mr. Owen dropped
to the ground, the lion springing at the
same time. When only two or three feet
'from the ground, the animal reached
the extent of the rope, which remained
1 over the limb,-with the other end fas
tened below, and was strangled to death.
This lion was dri# of the largest ever
captured in this region, measuring 9
feet 4 inches from tip to tip and weigh
ing about 800 pounds.
Mr. Owen says that he did not realize
that he was in any danger until he had
skinned the lion and mounted his horse
to ride to camp, when his nerves relaxed
and he became frightened.—White .Oak*
