(Published by Request.) Several months ago a band of Chris- tiau workers, corn nosed rf rru.m from all of the churches of the city, ex cept the Episcopal and Catholic, inaugu rated a movement to secure the services of Rev. Samuel P. Jones in their fight against sin aud its train of evils. The little band abaut forty had a hard pull, and their road was all the way up hill. Sometimes they were discouraged and almost despaired of success of the movement, so great was the opposition by the worldly minded, the indifferent and the immoral element of thf enm. munity. But they persevered, and succeeded. For nine days, from" October 18th to October 27th, services were conducted by that wonderful man, Rev. Sam Jonos. Meetings were held three times a day, and people congregated under the large tent from near and from afar. On rainy days the people went bv the hun dreds and thousands, and never seemed tired during services that lasted from two to three hours each. Mr. Joneiis a wonderful man. We have never seen his equal in many re spects. In preaching, his words are at times full of pathos and tenderness; of love and affection; persuading men to forsake evil and cleave to that which is good and noble and right and pure. ins metnoas are not those of anv other man we have ever seen or heard of. Ue is sincere, wo honestly helieve when he says God has converted him from sin and given him a work to do. He is fighting sin and is conscious of the fact that ho has always been fight ing for God and for tho good of hu manity. He is a "fisher of men." Some things he says sound harsh, but be usually drives home a truth with a sledge ham mer stroke. Thousands go to hear him because of his peculiarities in preaching, and many have thus been taken into the ark of safe;y.

By the terms of its admission to the Union Texas has the consent of Congress in advance to divide itself into five states, each of which would, of course, send two demo cratic members to the senate. No other state has this right, and Texans are too proud of their state's past history and present greatness to think of exercising it upon light provocation. Still, tho right exists, and its exercise depends solely upon the will of the people of Texas. Any other state desiring to form a new state or parts of a new state out of its tertitory must first obtain the consext of Congress." You could get the people of Missouri to divide their state with their great river as the line or get the people of Illinois or Indiana to make two states as easily as you could get the people of Texas to divide into two, four or five states.

It was a beautiful sight and one that memory will carry to the grave. A hundred or more will join tho churches and the reapiDg is to go on from week to week. The best woik done was in stirring up the members of the churches to a deeper interest in Chris tian work. On Monday night last an immense audience gathered in tha tent to hear the evangelist's last sermon. At the close of the services it was the al most unanimous vote of the audience that Mr. Jones should return again to Montgomery next year. Now, then, what shall we write? Just this: Instead of a little band of forty or fifty to invite him, Mr. Jones will come again at ths earnest solicitation of thou sands. No man ever grew upon the peo ple so rapidly and captured their hearts more completely. Even the most pre judiced have become his friend and his critics are few. lie did a good work in Montgomery, and public sentiment did arise, as from a sleep, and has been rob ed in strength. The fight on bar-rooms, gambling, dancing, card parties, wine hupptrs and other ems, was just what he begged the brethren to pray for "a prairie fire that would burn everything in its way, from a jack rabbit to a buffalo. Yvhat, then, do we think of Mr.JoEes? Well listen: He is a man of wonderful power, a soldier ci unrist, a toiiower ot the Lamb, a terror to evd doers, a preacher of strength, a cyclone of the gospel of salvation. in short, we believe him to be among the greatest of the liv ing ministry and a man who will dare to rebuke sin because it is light and be cause he feels that God will take him into judgment and ask a faithful ren dering of account. Mr. Jones is a tower of strength and a fearless soldier of Christ. With thou sands of others, we will gladly welcome him to Montgomery again. The recent financial panic and the decline in price of cotton each had a share in tho result. W. II. & R. S. TUCKER & CO. Fitt. Dolls. A perfect army of dolls. They are of all kinds and sizes.
