A Worthy Charity.
Everyone knows honest old man "Bull
Pipe" Smith. He lives near Clarendon
Bridge, and has for many years made iuers
and other pottery. He brought his wares
to market in an ox cart and on account of
their excellency they met with ready sale.
He is now almost blind, and has been un
able to ply his trade for many months,
and is, therefore, necessarily without sus
tenance. Chief of Police Flowers will re
ceive any subscriptions in behalf of this
worthy old man.
The 'President" Insulted.
The Township Constable yesterday
seized a mule from Neill McKoy under
claim and delivery papers. The "Presi
dent" was highly .insulted, and at first
refused to submit. He said that his pre
decessor, Grover Cleveland, would not
have submitted tc such an insult, and
that the constable might expect to lose
his job any minute.
A Dungerous Thing.
Some one turned both gas jets on
in the yestibule of the Postoffice Sun
day night. It almost suffocated one
to enter the building. This is a dan
gerous piece of maliciousness, and
might have caused a terrible disaster.
Turning on several gas jets with one
lighted one in a building, is a favorite
mode of procedure with insurance swin
dlers, and has been the cause of many
deaths. Luckily, in this case, there was
no naked light near. The scamps, if
caught, should be severely dealt with.

The Gnerrant meeting
"How to Be Saved," was the subject of
Dr. Guerrant's masterly sermon last night.
He spoke to an immense congregation,
notwithstanding the rain and wind. He
said that a great many otherwise intelli
gent people were really ignorant of the
way of salvation, and gave an instance of
an old man 96 years of age who had given
up the hope of salvation because b
couldn't help swearing. But when he gave
his heart to Jesus, Jesus saved him from
that sin. The four points of the gospel
were:
1. All men are sinners not equally
wicked, but all have come short. A boat
was overturned with three men in it. One
went right to the bottom of the river, an
other swam half-way to shore and the
third almost reached the land. But all
were drowned.
2. Sin means death. It is the poison of
the soul.
3. Jesus saves from sin. He is the
only way of salvation, the only hope of the
sinner. And He saves any sinner no mat
ter how vile. The instances of his saving
power In the gospel were those of lost men
and abandoned women.
4. Jesus saves by faith. Believing is
not doing. The gospel of works is best
exemplified in Heathenism. Believing is
trusting. ' Just as a woman gives herself
to her husband, her uame, her freedom,
her property, her devotion, because she
trusts him. So the sinner gives himself
to the Saviour in trusting him.
This morning Dr. Guerrant made an
informal talk, but beautiful nevertheless.
He is full of maguitism and his simplest
sayings go straight to the heart of his
hearers. Fully 800 people were present
Think of that, in the middle of the day
too. The splendid Piano used during the
services was loaned by-Messrs. Pemberton
and Blount. ,.
Bishop Watson will arrive in tho city
Saturday and will be the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. F. R. Rose, on Haymount.
All Saloons Close.
All the saloons, as' well as the stores,
were closed this morning from 11 to 12
o'clock on account of the Guerrant meet
ing. This is the first instance we know of
where all the bar rooms in a city closed
up so that their proprietors and employes
could attend a religious meeting. Won
derful Dr. Guerrant, you 'have done
something uo other man, not even Pear
son, was ever able to do. The following
has been handed in to us by a prominent
saloon-keeper for publication :
We. the undersiened bar-keepers and
bar-attenders, agree among ourselves to
close our places of business from 11 o'clock
until 12 M. each and every day as long as
the services go on at the Armory this

attend the said meeting.
