Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Wilbanks will shortly start for a winter' sojourn in the sunny South. They will visit principally in Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina, the latter being Mr. Wil banks native state. The more advanced years of his life were spent iu Mississippi, where he has relatives' and hosts of old time acquaintances, who will doubtless greet their friend of bygone days with a welcome reception. This trip will likely redound to the benefit of Mrs. Wilbanks, whose health has been partially impaired for some years now, and the journey is made largely with this end in view. The sunshine and mediocre winter climate of the South is almost certain to be refre- hing, while boyhood haunts and childhood scenes will be sublimely magnificent. May their journey be a continual round of pleasure. Wedding Bells. Mr. Wm. Fechter and Miss Ollie Witham, were joined in the holy bonds of wedlock last Mouday morn ing by Rev.

It does us good to note these pleasant happenings. ' Luther Benson is a fgreafc fitti Tliei-e'is no question about that A great lecturer, id flsfieecll a" few yeari ': ago in one of the Western states, is quoted as saying that the name of LuV ther Benson, of Indiana, wa . thff strongest argument against the drink " habit that he ever knew aboutand theP lecturer was probably right about it, - The speeches of this very remarkable" man in this city this week called forth the solemn sanctity' and sympathy of those most opposed to his ideas of ' reform. It is a sad speclncle, indeed to thus be a 'witness to a great and useful mind that is constantly swayed under the tempting 'influences of th8 liquor habit a slave to that, and that , alone, on account of the demands oc- casioned by the weakness of the flesh. and a lacking of the moral strength to sustain the anneals of his But Luther Benson is such a man perhaps one out of a thousand. He believes in the law of common ! kindness and the sanctity of moral : and religious persuasion. -Tiy to live twenty-five hours without saying a harm word of somebody," said'lie, "and it will be the greatest struma of ' your life;" and Benson scored a decid ed and incontesfable point in this re. mark. After a drunken spree, not many years ago, he went into a Sun. : day school. The subject of repent ance came up for decision, and ther teacher asked Benson's opinion. "It : is great sorrow one feels over an evil t. he has done." "Yes," said the teach er, who had known the lecturer from ' his boyhood; "yes; for instance, over getting drunk, or something like that " And then and there", said Luthor - Benson, "he thrust a dagger at my heart which pierced to the very eorei And a short time afterward, he roam, ed the streets, and in pitiful platitudes. although beastly intoxicated, he de. clared with conscientiousness to Ins common friends that he would never drink again. But again and again did ' he break these pledges, and the demi john and the decanter remain the bit terest foes of his life to-day. Kind ness to an unfortunate does more good in a moment than all the trlib-tonue of mockery in the scenes of a lifetime. Luther Benson showed the moral no- tentcy of his argument when ha an- pealed to those who were gifted with contrite and forebearing hearts to ad minister words of cheer to those so un fortunate as himself, instead of thrust ing daggers artd throwing stones. Men imbued and blinded with the demagoV gic domas of fanatics never make charitable allowances like this, and Benson has made another point. While they annealed in l.ii-r, 11 o- gree to human sympathy, Benson's speeches were principally characterized ' by sound logic' and gocd-iutured ftirt, ' and he proved himself to bo just whafi he has been so favorably recommend ed a man of more than ordinary talents and intellectual accomplish ments. His visit to this city will. long, be remembered. - OUR PHOTOGRAPH GALLERY.
