For sometime, lovers of the "ardent" have been bavlng a joyful time, in that thej oonid, by traveling a lew miles, cross Into Georgia, and get and bring over aa much at they wanted wltbont fear of Interference, but alas, for tbe past week or two, some of tb( ubiquitous and argus eyed constables have been looking after tbis matter, and tbe fancied security of the dramdrlnkera and dnunboyen will be at least, partially broken. * mnraMOMiaiiv ?o. if Senator Elnley'R con traction of t&e late changes In tbe dispensary* law la correct.

That is getting tbe matter down pretty fine. Troupe. MUSICAL EHTERTAINSlENT. \ A Good Time Is Promised for Friday Evening:. We can safely promise a treat to all wbo bear Edward Baxter Perry on Friday evening at tbe school building. Mr. Perry Is ranked among tbebeBt pianists of ibis country. He goes outside of tbe beaten-track or pianists and really entertains bis aadlenoe. ? Tbe method be employs Is to preface each number of a carefully selected planoiorte programme wltb a brief verbal analysis. The ; result attained is, while giving to music students an. amateur's information and suggestions of value to them from an educational standpoint, at tbe same time to render each composition intelligible, and consequently enjoyable to every listener, even to those wbo have not tbe least technical training In tbt art. This Is surely greatly to be desired In tbe performer. We are so often called upon to admire tbe nimble fingering, tbe brilliant playing of tbe performer, while we cannot honestly say that we enjoy or understand the music. ' The secret of Mr. Perry's sucoess lies In thf ra?t that hft nrenares his audience In advance . of his playing. r A large audience la deelredIf the entertainment proves successful financially It may be the lorernnner of otber entertainments, wblob will elevate. Instruct and amuBe as. We know that such entertainments are needed in all communities. , ? . ???. ? Lecture on Thursday Night. Prof. Charles Lane, of Atlanta, will be Id Abbeville tbls week and deliver bis fatnouo lecture on tbe "Analyses of Laughter," Thursday DigbL Tbls lecture has excited favorable comment wherever It has been delivered. His wit la Irreslstable. "Judges, statesmen, preachers and governors go into convulsion* of laughter," bo says the Nashville Christian Advocate. Oar community will give tbe lecturer, we have no doubt, a lai*ge audience, especially since the proceeds are tojjo to tbe MethodIsi i.. church, whose people have done so nobly in f' ' ^ ?the work of tbe Master. ,1k W.

It brings* a good deal o trouble into tbe family and a gone deal of sbame on the one wno pouts We pout when we feel very guilty anc dont want to own to it. When a boj pouts he looks very solemn and sour aod wont speak at all. When a gir pouts she hides her face in her aproi and snuffd a good deal. When a boj is pouting he uever whistles very loud, and when a girl is pouting she nevei sings very sweetly. When ehildrei are pouting real hard they general^ run away to some place and hide, st that no one can see the shame on theii faces. Sometimes they will not speak to father and mother for a loog time and will uot come to dinner when the} are called. Sometimes old persons pout. Large brothers and sisters pout and do hot speak to each other for two or thret days, and sometimes they go awaj from home in a pout and stay a long time. (Sometimes husbands arid wives pout, and although they sit togeher at fl-kA nrt w d\ tokla fir ill nnf onoalr fAi* ?i IUC aauju IUU1U, tt 111 uvi* opv-ttn ivi u nay or two. All this pouting makes a good deal of trouble aud sadness in the family. It drives away all cheerfulness and smiles and song. It is very sad, too, to see children pouting^n school; pouting at tbeii schoolmates and refusing to play pouting at their teacher aud refusing to look up. v It takes a very had and sullen child to pout before its schoolmates and teacher. Children whc pout at home and at school generally grow up to be sour men and women whom nobody likes.?Exchange. "For JefliiN." Out of her scanty store a womar laid by her penny each week as th< Lord's money. She had not decidec what to do with it, when she sickenec aud was about to die. A friend came to care for the siofc one, and when she saw how ill sh< was, sent for a minister. He came and talked and prayed with the wo man, and was about to leave, whet she remembered her little store o money, and asked the woman wnc cared for her to find it in a box anc bring it. Handing it to the minister she said: "It is for Jesus. 1 wantei to save more; but I am going to Hirr now." After the woman's death tlie littk sack was opened, showing seventeet pennies. The minister was so deeply impress ed with the sacredness of this littU tru9t, which had been laid by arnidsi the deepest poverty, that lie desired U. have more added to it, and use it a: the foundation for some noble work. Telling his congregation of it, a responsive feeling grew within the hearts of many, and an encouraging collection was made on the spot. Otherf hearing, still kept adding, until enough was raised to start a mission whicb was needed upon the frontier. Car we not all do something "for Jesus?" ?American Messenger. A shoolma9ter thus describes a money lender: "He serves you in the present tense; he lends you in the conditional mood; keeps you in the subjunctive; and ruins you in the future." . . .

Idleness travel^ very leisurely, and poverty soon overtakes her. | Brooding over anainhappy paBt never ! yet batched out a happy future. Great powers and natural gifts do not briug privileges to their possessor, ; so much as they bring duties. The less a man knows the more firmly convinced he is likely to be that his opinions are necessarily correet. I As long as we question whether i Jesus truly represent God, we are not likely to trust him as from God. The preacher who delivers his Master's message may not always please his hearers, but be is their friend. Some people are always findiug , fault with Nature for puttiug thorns on roses; I always thank her for . having put roses on thorns. | True benevolence is to share what we have with those who need. To 1 aspire to give that .which is above our , means is not wise. Other men's eccentricities need not divert you from your purpose to do God's work. Keep your face steadily towards the front. Sometimes success in spiritual work depends upon physical conditions. A i smoky eto- and a chilly church have ; killed nine tbau one revival. j Let your regret over the opportunities that came to you and were slighted by you be turned into a readiness to t grasp those that are to come. . Be sure of this one thing. Ood 1 reigns in righteousness. What He has H promised He will perform. Heaven ' and earth will pass away, but His promise will abide. You wonder why your pastor has not more influence with your children. You would not wonder so much if you remembered how ofteu you have disparaged him in their presence. " The preacher's heart was full, aud ' out of his full heart he Dreauhed with ' power. The congregation caught the : fire and the service was blessed. Mor 1 al: Get your heart full before you g ' into the pulpit. J The prayer-meeting was a precious i season of grace. Those who were , present were strengthened and helped. Your seat was vacant. God does not p bless empty benches. 1 A certain amount of judicious praise ' is helpful to any man. But too much > of it is harmful ; its effect is debilitating. Do not withhold from your : brother his just meed of praise. At i the sume time do not spread it oo too ' thick! ? There are souls in the world who I have thejgiftof finding joy everywhere i and leaving it behind them when > | they go. The influence is an iuevi; tabie gladdening of the heart. They give light without meaning to shine, j Their bright hearts have a great work ; to do for God. 1 He that thinks he can trust God for 1 spiritual help easier than he can trust ' Him for temporal help deceives him" self. It is the man whocanuot believe that the Lord ha9 anything to do with ine weatuer mat never kuows which ' way to turn in a storm of adversity. | The higher the position, the greater I the responsibility. John Brown, of . Haddington, said to a young minister >: who complained of the smalines of r his congregation, "It is as large a one t! as you will want to give account for '1 in the day of judgment." ! He that is habituated to deceptions j and artificialities in trifles will try in ; vain to be true in matters of importance; for truth is a thing of habit ' rather than of will You cannot in 1 any given case, by any sudden and J single effort, will to be true, If the habit | of your life has been iusiucere. l ! Not Growing Oli>?"They tell me j [ I'm growing old," said Dr. Guthrie, , i "because my hair is silvered, and tbere - are crow's feet upon my forehead, and i my step is not so firm and elastic as of f yore. But they are mistaken. That > is not me. The brow is wrinkled, but I the brow is not me. This is the house , in which I live; but I am young, I younger now thau I ever was before." i Happy the man who keeps young : whilst the house be lives in is growing > old. Such men unite the ripeness of i! age with the warmth of youth, loving, ! earnest, cheerful.
