AT THE Y. M. C. A.
Rev. Mr. Holloway'a Ijeoturo ana
Happy Meeting.
Last night a large number of ladies
and gentlemen assembled at the rooms
of tho Young Men's Christian Associ-
ation in a social way and to listen to
tho lecturo of Kcv. Mr. Holloway of
Denton.
The lecturer began by saying that
once upon a time in his pilgrim jour-
ney ho stood upon tho brow of a
great eminence and beheld a wondrous
sight that spread far away before him
like a gigantic panorama. Ho watched
tho movements of tho revolving
worlds that hung upon in-
visible axis. Ho spoko eloquently
following this lino of thought
exclaiming "Hath man constructed all
theso?" He then spoko 'at length of
tho beauties of tho king ol tiay tno
storm king tho rainbow etc. ''But
whenco art thou?" Did all those
woudcrous things come from tho gods
a child of chance? Preposterous I
lint whenco man and all these systems
of worlds? Thus when we turn our
eyes to the great book of nature we
see tho "footprints of Deity." W
have not space to follow tho speaker.
His lecturo was eloquently delivered
and well received. Closing in the midst
of a flower garden looking at the
mnuy-hued rainbow he turned from
these to pluck a pansy finding the
same rich coloring nnd design there
but with deeper softer hues "tan it
be" tho speaker said "that that God
who builds worlds and hangs glitter-
ing suns through illimitable spaca in
perfect whirling systems and paints
the golden sunsets and tho gorgeous
colors along the arches of the sky is
tho same Hemp- that plants and paints
tho lilly the pansy tho rose aud violet?
Yen verily."
At tho close of tho lecture Mrs. C.
Crawford brought forward a huge
cake handsome and delicious. It was
cut and eaten amidst the heartiest
good t'lieor.
The association elected sixty-four
delegates to attend the State conven-
tion of tlie Y. M. C. A. to bo held in

able vegetable is the (lower stalk of tht
local plantain culled inselo the fruit
of which is dry and unfit for eating.
The stem is cooked will) milk and

rootlets and about two feet high. IJ
old tho grcon outer coat is peeled ofl
till tho whito interior shows. It is at
tender as a well-cooked turnip with I
flavor like tho best new bread some
what underdone. It is an excellent
dish nourishing wholesome and di-
gestible. From meal cuk'cs a ferment-
ed drink called bousa is made. Tht
coflee grown in Abyssinia is principally
sent to Djeilna and Upper Egypt.

The County Fair.
The county fair season Is fully on
and "all aboard for the fair grounds!"
is the cry that reverberates in hun-
dreds of villages nnd towns throughout
thjs broad land. One fair is but a repe-
tlon of all the rest and of pretty much
all that have gone before since the
county fair was invented. The same
prize cattle and horses and pigs and
sheep and poultry are there. At least
they look just tho name. The same
boy contributes his tinkers to the
straw-cutter exhibit and tho same girl
feeds her parasol to the merino sheep.
There is a long parade of threshing ma-
chines In new red paint like a lot of
circus wagons just out of the paint
hop In the Spring. Then the patent
farm gates scattered around the
grounds some that open others that
rise up in the air and still others that
throw themselves flat on tho ground.
Singular enough none of these farm
gate that work so pcrfcelv on tho fair
grounds ever get a steady -job on. a
t;irm. They are tried sometimes for a
wh le but soon Hud their placo in the
vcfuso lumber pile back of the barn
nr.d the farmer's gate is opened with a
long sweep loaded with stones at the
end just as it has been for so many
yeari. Tczut Eijliiigs.
