A Barbecue, Ice Cream Festival, and Bail Game, All on the Same Day?Interesting- Meeting- Closed ?A Wedding?Other News Notes. Jonesville, Aug. 15.?Last Saturday was one of more than usual interest in our town. Rev. C. F, Felmet baptised eleven persons at the pool in town who had applied for membershiD at Gilpad dm-; meetings held there last week. Mr. J. W. Gallman lurriished a nice barbecue at the campaign meeting place and invited all of the county candidates and most of them responded. The candidal es were furnished dinner free by Mr. Gallmau. There was no speech making but plenty of speaking, for the candidates spoke to every man on the ground, and in many instances more than once. In the afternoon there was a picnic and ice cream festival at the Baptist church which was well attended and a fine jolly occasion it was; and later in the evening there was a game of ball played at the regular ball ground at Mr. Littlejohn's be*. tr -1^- 1 mem tuo iveitou ana Jonesville teams, which resulted in a score of 23 to 10 in favor of Kelton. The day was quiet and orderly. Rev. David llucks closed a meeting at New Hope, which had been in progress during the week. The meeting was a good one with three additions to the church. Bev. J. W. Klkins assisted brother Hucks in the meeting, and his preaching was quite forceful and acceptable. Mr. Robt. Smith who has been with the J. J. Littlejohn Co. for some time, will go to Macon, Ga. next week, where he will enter school. Mr. Smith is a young man of promise and will make a fine business man when he completes his education. The rains last week put a very rank growth on the cotton and Caused it to shed some of its fruit, but uiy observation is the cotton crop is still fine and something else will have to cut it off or it will make a big crop. As for corn tho prospect was never better. The streams did not overflow last week to any extent. A farmer remarked ehe other day that r there would be no nubbins this year to feed to the hogs.

Two of the crowd got out of the wagon before they reached Mr. Sprouse's and told the others they would not be in such a crowd; while those that remained in the wagon said they cared for no poor white man. They will hardly go to law with Mr. Sprouse. Rev L. P. McGhee arid wife, of Timmon8ville, are visiting relatives and friends in and around Jonesville. Mrs. Addie B. Ilames and Miss Etha Ilames are in the mountains of North Carolina for recreation. llev. David Ilucks filled his pulpit here yesterday morning and Rev. A. A. James filled his pulpit in the afternoon.

(I. VJ. riUNTKR. V. M. Killed By Railroad Train. Last Saturday night the 9 o'clock South bound passenger train killed Fleming Hamilton at first railroad crossing below Monarch Mills. Magistrate W. W. Johnson was immediately notified and at once proceeded to hold inquest, Tho facts testified to at the inquest were that Fleming Hamilton left the house of his father, George Hamilton just after eating his supper, had been gone about one half hour, when cars came along. The left jaw, neck and left thigh bone were broken, body was lying along side track, head to wards his house on right side of raiL l *?1_ -** 1 tuau iracn, Maine siae on which his home is. Engineer said he did not see the deceased, so there was no telling whether he was sitting on cross tics or walking along on track. As soon as the train could stop, he reversed and backed up the track to where the body lay. It is evident that the train did not run over the body, but knocked the man down, either by striking with the pilot or steps of some of the coaches. The jury found a verdict in accordance with the above facte. That he came to his death by accident. v L Social. Tuesday afternoon from 6 to 8 o'clock, the vine-clad cottage of Miss Blanche Garner on corner of Baehelor and South streets was the scene of beauty, bright faces, fun, frolic and intellectual enjoyment, when in response to the following invitation, Miss Blanche entertained some twenty of her young lady friends. Invitation: "Will you accept this invitation? To my humble Habitation, Bachelor's corner termination, To a little jollification, 1 know you will raise a lamentation, When you hear the declaration, That the Lords of creation, Will not be at this celebration. Come dressed according to your station, In a gown of Worth's creation, And receive the welcome of a friend, but no relation. The prevailing colors of the decorations were pink and blue. The leading feature of the entertainment was intellectual, the giving and answering the following questions, answers the name of a flower: 1. A country in Asia and a prominent New York family. China Astor. 2. A very precise lady. Primrose. 8. What the father said to the son in the morning. Johnny-jumpup. 4. Au old-fashion perfume. Lavender. 5. A tattered songster. Ragged robbin. 0.

Refreshments of cream and cakes, champaigne wafers and cryatalized ginger. The ganymedes were Misses Maud and Marie Garner and Miss Sydney Gage. The pretty girl of the telephone, Chose to make merry with girls alone, No man was allowed to invade their zone, So the joys of that day were all their own. Who is Responsible? At a mass meeting in the Second l?p t aiu> ? nhiirnh, . .O, r on a Sabbath aftemoou, in th^. presence of over two hundred men, a converted gambler and ex-saloon keeper made the following statement which has created a profound imp.efSion: *I have been in ihe saloon business, with a gambling room attached, for the last four years, aud claim to kuow something about what 1 am now going to tell you. 1 do not believe that tho gambling den is neajly so dangerous, nor does it do auything like the same amount of harm as the social card party in the hi me. I give this as my reason: lu the gambling room, the windows are closed tight, the curtains are pulled down; UtfUi-Tii Itl ii/w In J ? - ? A*? ? - woi /vuiu10 uuuuuuicu ocurouy ror tonr of detection, and none but gamblers, as a rule, euter there; while in the parlor all have access to the game, children aie permitted to watch it, young people are invited to partake in it. It is made attractive aud alluring by giving prizes, serving refreshments, and adding high social enjoyments. For my part, I never could see the difference between playing for a piece of silver moulded in the shape of money aud silver moulded in the shape of cup or thimble. The principle is the same, and whenever property changes hands over the luck of the cards, I believe it is gambling. Have you ever thought of it? Where do all the gamblers come from? They are not taught in the gambling dens. A 'gieener,' unless he is a fool, never enters a gambling hell, because he knows that he will be fleeced out of everything he possesses in less than fifteen minutes, fie has learned somewhere else before lie sets foot inside such a place. Whea he has played in the parlor, in the social game of the home, and has become proficient enough to win prizes from his frieuds, the next step, with him is to seek out the gambling-room, for he has learucd, and now counts upon his efficiency to bold his own. The saloon men aud gamblers chuckle aud smile when they read in the pspors of the parlor games giveu by the ladies, for they know that after a while these same men will become lira parous or uieir business. I say, I then, the parlor game is the college I where gamble!s are made aud educated. In the name of Uod, coen, stop this business in your homes burn up >our decks and wash your bauds." After he had taken his seat, another converted ex-gambler, who led the men's meeting in the Second Presbyterian church the following Sabuath, arose aud said: "I endorse every word which the brother before me has just uttend. 1 was a gambler, I learned to play cards, ! not in the saloon, not in my own home, but in homes of my young friends, who invited me to play with them aud taught me how." Another told of a mother who had her eyes opened to the danger of card playing in the home. She had been In the habit of going to and giving "progressive euchre parties," and frequently won "prizes," which she brought home aud showed to the family. One morning her son showed her a roll of bills, and said, "Mother, these are what I won last night in playing cards with sbme men I met down town." "Why, my son, do you mean to tell me you nave been gambling?"

She then and there saw the danger. and by putting the "accursed thing" out or her home and life was enabled to show to her boy the awful possibility of ruin ahead of him, and to save him from a gambler's life and fata. A number of men went home from that afternoon meeting and set up a new rule in their families that never should another game be played inside their house; thattiieir parlors should not become kindergartens for training young gamblers. t.
