On Friday night there were more than three hummed Methodists and friends gathered in the church in a social gathering.

A father was explaining to his oldest son the meaning of a straw vote and said the expression probably originated from the old saying ‘‘that straws show which way the wind blows." His youngest son, not being as much interested in presidential candidates ns in culinary matters, said: "Yes, and straws show whether the cake is done or not, too.” How They Seemed to Serve. No one nt Peggy's house wears earrings. When the caller who was wearing them natieed Peggy's curious interest she took the little one on her lap so she could examine the pearls more closely. After puzzling over them a little while Peggy solicitously Inquired: ‘‘Does oo has to button oo enrs on?" With Slight Reservations. "Lord,” prayed the old deacon, “keep us front growling at the weather Providence sends: make us resigned to hot and cold, storm and sunshine; but if it's not asking too much, plense send us more reasonable weather 'long about eampmeetin' time,-for ns it is now, it's almost, hot enough to set the river on Are!” —Atlanta Constitution. Good Reason, Too. One reason why we like to see a woman with m few fine children is because we know that the children keep her so busy that she hasn’t time to Join a society for the suppression of something.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
