SHOWMEN IN TROUBLE. - ArroMtod I'ndcr ;('liar?fe of Exhibiting n C'irrun Performance Without I,|. ceuse. Last Thursday evening tlie manager of tlie ' variety show was arretted under, charge of failure to take out a circus license which license is 8200 to the State, S1U0 to the town. Much sympathy was felt for the showman by the people here. The town coucil had given license for $20. The tents were stretched, the procession I went through tne streets, and the performance 1 took place. Not being there ourseif we asked 1 others about the show and all agreed In paying that the show was a good one. The be- ' huvlorofthe attaches was unusually good. , The otder was exceptlonably good as regards both showmen and people. Nothing '| happened to mar the pleasuro of the day ex-1 ccpi me uium. in luuuintsi, uuwever, con- | .eientlous oflicers were simpl> doing whatthoy conceived to be their duly. [: Upon hearing the evidence, Trinl Justice! DcBruhl, at the instance of the Slate's attor-| ney, Mr. Thos. P. Loth run, released the show-! man on bis own recognizance, after deposit-; ii'.g^K). Messrs. Bcnet <& Cuson, uttoruey for the dolendant, hope to have the money re turued ,as the show was not a ctrcus and not' legally liable to a stale license. I; At Abbeville the gross receips at the door was S24."'. Licence for two days at ?200; a day would luke up most of the proceeds of a little show like tills. They went to Greenwood from Abbeville, and snowed to a small house. If the show hud been advertised we have no doubt that It would have been liberally pat-, rouused.

Presbyterian church. Sermon by the Pastor ^ Rev. J Lowrle Wilson, D. 1)., from the texti J Esther, Pth chapter, 22nd verse, "That they * ?hould make them days of feasting and joy -J jf sending one to another, and gifts to the ^ poor." J The celebration of certain feast days by the ^ Jews was explained and held up as an exam- F |ile for us to imitate, saying, "The most re J rnarkahle people on the face of the earth is J Uod's ancient people." None were more bon- ? jred than they. There is something about ? them, which challenges the admiration of g mankind. In their ranks Is found the great ? law giver Moses. Mordecal was described as ? [>ne of the most faithful and pious of their na- F Lion und through hln Intercession, on the very P lay fixed upon their extermination by their - 1? ''"11 "ArnH fpf\rr\ f hroo t. memories, uiey ?ci? ucnmicu sned destruction aDd this day Is now observ- I jd by the Jews In memory of this deliverance, ft und is one of the most Joyful of their feast I Jays. C The lesson drawn from the incident in the C history of the Jews was that of gratitude. S This should be. indeed a day of thanksglv- u ng to us. We should especially rejoice as a D iiutlon, for said he "The life of our nation had Cly been preserved." L Alluding to the politics of our country he C ?aid : ' We should t>e thankful that the dark T ;louds that hud hovered over us, bad keen ? argely dissipated." Hut coming nearer, the E <onthern people should be thankful, for s special deliverances from the storm of nature. L cyclones, earthciuakes and volcauicemptlons. K We should rejoice in our civil and religious s irlvlleaes?and in our abundant harvest. G The doctor warned his hearers of the dan- G ;er of prosperity, lest it should make the J leart proud, and thereby forgetful that God ,vas the giver of al! these blessings. C The sermon was concluded by nrglng his people to follow the example of God's ancient G >eople, and to obey the command of our Sa- G .lour?"to remember the poor." N DUE WE8T.
