As per program Sam Jones arrived in Union last Saturday, and delivered bin lecture in the Second Methodist chuich at night on the Politician. Every reserved seat had been sold, and nearly all the 60 cent seats were taken; the receipts from the sale of tickets being in the neighborhood of $176. He gave the politician fits, and eaid if he was running a soap factory in hell, he would not consider them fit to use. He said they were the curse of the country. He scored the men, who usually moye to the factoiy, put all their children in the factory to work and make a living for the whole family, while he loafed around, -u a i.t * * uuew w mhjhgco ana laiKea politics*, saia they were fit subjects for white caps, and should have their dirty hides tanned. He said no man had an excuse for beiDg a drunkard, that it was his family who suffered for it. He said the contemptible dirty rascals should be in tlie cliaingang. He hit at the dudes and dudeeses; said the dude was the devil's goat, and the dudeas the devil's nanny goat. An idle head is the devil's own workshop; everyone should be made to work. lie had worked in the mines nnd shouldered his sack of flour and chunk of meat and carried them home to his family many a time. He was not in favor of free schools; said the State had no right to educate your kids no more than it did to feed them. He said that his wife and he had agreed that when they got too poor to send their kids to school, they would go out of the kid business. The people may think he was talking mighty plain, but hoped they didn't And any difficulty iu understanding him. Jones likes the trusts, and is putting in some licks in their favor. He compared things in the trusts with tho^e out of the trusts, and thought thoee in them were much cheaper and more commodious than those outside. He said if he lived on a certain railroad that was not in the trusts, he would sue the company for damages for the trains shading his crops, they run so slow. He had never seen any woman prettier than his wife. When a man ' found a woman prettier than his wife, ) he was fixing to break into the chain ' gang, and when a woman found a man I prettier than her hnsband, that woman . is fixing to go to the devil. The sweetest r place on God's green earth is a happy home. A little home in Cartersville, Ga., was the dearest place on earth to ' him. He was dortn on divorce business. [ Every divorced nan or woman should be put in the penitentiary for the bah ? ance of life. When a man had a wife and 1 five or six children, God had done a heap [ for that man. His children was an evij dence of God's pleasure, but when a man had got one of these little dudeases, with a poodle dog, God had'thrown off on that * fellow. He could not see how a woman Qjuld have such affection for a poodle dog, unless it was her natural love for ber husband's kin folks. He did not know which was worse, to live a drunkard's life or be a drunkard's wife. He advised all married people to stick together for better or worse, though lie thought some of them had a hard job on hand. He scored the mill owners for contributing only $25.00 per annum for the support of that church; said lie would give a negro church more than that. He said this mill should have the blue ribbon; oleared several thousand dollars in one deal, and gave the church $25.00. READ Ci?

Some ladies would spend more for an Easter bat than they would give during the year to the cause of Christ. Tbey might sing: Must Jesus bear the cross alone And every one go free; There's a cross for everyone, And an Easter hat for me. Some people did not have sense enough to go to hell. The idea of an idiot in hell. He said some men when they call their children should say, piggy, piggy, aa they were sons of hogs, and shoula be called pigs. If be had an order for a hundred of these narrow minded fellows, who thought themselves so big, in a call for sentiment and symp ithy, he would not express them or send them by freight, but would put them all in a match dox, put a one-cent stamp on it and mail it. In contrast to all the above he indulges in some of the most beautiful and flowry sentiments, sometimes bringing the tears from the eyes of his hearers. He has wonderful oontrol over his audienoe, as l well as his vninA nnti foatnrps and l?ia mimicry is fine. His witty and humorous sayings, ridiculous compaisors are irresistible. There is certainly only one Sam Jones It is said that the Ix>rd only made one as an experiment, then threw away the pattern.
