that Sam Jones had not really
been engaged to lecture at

lish herewith a letter (the orig
inal is in this office.) from that
gentleman, expressing his regret
at not being able to fill the ap
pointment :
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, )
Mr,B. Q.Bowl's, Monongah, W fa.:
MY DEAR SIR Your, letter
of August 23rd received and in
reply will say you cannot regret
more than I my having\jeen un
able to fulfill my engagement
with you, but as you know neith
er you nor I can control being
sick. 1 had to cancel other en
gagements besides the one with
you causing great disappointment
elsewhere as well as with you. I
do not improve since returning
home-am very nervous.
I think there will be no trouble
in coming to your city next sum
mer. You can write me later in
regard to the dates. With best
wishes, lam
Yours sincerely,
SAM P. JONES.

The One Day meeting at Ches

E. church was a decided success
religiously and financially. The
day was an ideal one. and a very
large crowded availed themselves
of the opportunity to spend a
day amid the beauties of the
park as well as to listen to the
able discourses which were de
livered during the day. Quite a
neat sum was realized for the
church and much credit is due

manner in which everything was
conducted
The jail-break at Parkersburg
was accomplished in a unique
way.>As usual on Sunday night
the jailer had allowed the prison

appeared to be holding a sort of
religious service of song. He
did not notice that, while their
religious fervor was so great,
their singing could bo heard for
blocks. He now knows that the j
noise was made to drown .that
made by those at work, who, to
escape, cutoff twenty-fourlarge
iron rivets, forced up a heavy
iron , plate several feet square
and cut througlja vail over two
feet in thickness- '

The opening of the Grand I
Opera House to night (Thursday)
with the Black Domlao will bring
out a large crowd.
The attraction at the Grand 1
Opera House during the Fair will
be the Big Black Boom, "Darkest f
America." In it are eighty real i
southern negroes. Home life
among the negroes is the basis of
the eutertainment, showing the I
amussments, antics, frolics and
feames of the southern negro in
his humble home. The negro is I
the most humerous of mortals.
Care sits lightly on his hopes.
To be amuBed is the prime motive
of the southern negro's life. The
dance, songs and music are their
greatest delight. There is noth -1
ing in which they excel as they
do in singing and danciog. There j
is a catchiness about negro melo
dies . not heard in any |
other music... Sit in an audience
and listen to ft classical selection
from the orchestra, and then note
the effect of the introduction of
a few bars of any negro melody.
The audience with *one accord
brighten up, keep time with the
strain and manifest an inspira
tion no.other music can inspire.

Folks at Home,"' "Suwanee Riv
er," and similar airs have Income
popular. How many people of
advanced years remember the
good old primitive ways of coun
try life thirty years ago? Innocent
games, tally pullings, quilting
bees, wood choppings, husking
bees, cotillion dances, and such
like, made up the amusements of
the people. You cannot find any
thing of it now ; it is only a mem
ory of the past. Wlien Denman
Thompson put his picture of
country life on the stage under
the title of the "Old Homestead,"
critics assailed if, contending it
had no plot. The people Hocked
to see it, however, because it
brought back recollections dear
to memory, happy scenes of early
days in their lives. Up to the
beginning of the war no more in
teresting people lived than the
negro slaves of the South. Their
games and amusements were fas
cinating to all people. Time has
nearly obliterated ilie genuine
plantation negro. He is seldom
seen, opt he is just as interesting
as of yore.
