BIG BAPTISING AT GILEAD.
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*.

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.
Last Saturday some negroes from
about Jonesville went to Union in a
wagon, and as they passed Mr. Hen

sung and cursed and acted quite ugly,
whereupon, Mr. Spr-iuse catne
out and warned 'htm not to do so
any more, or they would get into
trouble. On their return they were
no doubt pretty well filled with booze

passing Mr. Sprouse's house and Mr.
Sprouse came out with his shot gun
and fired into them, and when they
got to Jonesville^ one of them had
several shot picked out of his bocy.
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.

Timmon8ville, are visiting relatives

Mrs. Addie B. Ilames and Miss
Etha Ilames are in the mountains of

llev. David Ilucks filled his pulpit
here yesterday morning and Rev. A.
A. James filled his pulpit in the
afternoon.
A young couple from Union and
some friends drove up to Jonesville
yesterday evening and waited near
the Presbyterian church until Mr.
James concluded his services and
they filed in the chnrch and were
met in the aisle by the Rev. James,
who made them man and wife. The

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.

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. Two things sold on' the exchange.
Corn-flower.
7. Fragrant letters. Sweet Peas.
8. A fashionable shade for cven
J TT > .
nig ureas. neiioirop0.
9. The flower most beloved by
mankind. Tulip.
10. A magic wand. Golden rod.
A prize was given to the lady who
gave correct answers to the greatest
number of questions. Mis3 Jessie
Cravens won first prize, a beautiful
picture. Miss Nina Col ton won consolation
prize, a box of candy. Miss
Nyna West won booby prize, an old
white hen; not the proverbial "old
speck." 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?" "Why, mother," be I

said, "I learned to be an expert player
here at home, and the priz^ won here
were only different in value." 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.
