When Mr. Garfield was president, Ohioians monopolized the depart- ments. It was only necessary for a man to say he was from Ohio, and in a few days he was placed ina good fat job. A man called to see Mr. Garfield when he was president with a letter of intro- duction from a Senator, Mr. Brown, who was then private secretary, in- formed the messenger that the presi- dent could not see him. The man waited in the hall way sev- eral of the Executive Mansion several hours with the hope of seeing the pres- ident. A thought struck him that the Senator failed to state that he was from Ohio. He returned to the messenger again and presented his card, Mr—, Cleve- land, Ohio. The messenger presented his card and no quicker presented, he was ush- ered in to the president. Ah, said the president, this is the man from Ohio? What can I do for you ? In a few days he was sent abroad. A GOOD WOMAN GONE. Mrs. Helen E. Watkins, who died July 26 and buried July 28, was the daughter of that old veteran, Rev. Sandy Alexander, better known as the father of the Baptists. Mrs. Watkins was a most amiable la- dy, who had the respect and confidence of a large circle of friends. The Baptist Ministers’ Union turned outina body, as did the pupils she taught. Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, the elo- quent pulpit orator, delivered a most impressive sermon. He spoke feelingly of her moral worth and eloquently of her excellent and womanly qualities. The body was interred in Harm- ony cemetery. MR. HOLMES’ EXCURSION. The personally conducted excursion of Mr. James Otway Holmes to Notley Hall, Wednesday August 12th will be one of the best and largest excursions that has taken place for some time. Mr. Holmes is popular and genial, and will no doubt make his first attempt the best of the season. Read the adve the hundreds on the grounds, and pleasure seekers scattered in every direction. The votes which awarded the silk umbrella to Rev. C. C. Wash- ington, of West Moreland, numbered 174, which were 46 more than any other. COLONIAL BEACH.
