EDITOR DEAoCRAT.-The ladies of Sank
Centre gave donation supper, at Mr..
Adley's Hall, in that place, on the It'll inst.
for the benefit of tho Rev b. A. kemp.-
Mr.. Kemp is Methodist, but Ill denomi-
nations seemed equally interestedaand no.
tive. Mr. Kemp is q young man, just
from the Garrett Biblical Institute, near
Chicago, His gentlsmanly department and
scholarly discourses, which partake of
Methodist earnestness, have already won
for him a good reputation in the entire
community. His audience is constantly in
creas,ng in size and atten,iveness, and has
manifested its interest in him and in the
cause in wAioh he is engaged by a liberal
Offering.
The hall was finely decorated with ever
greens, &C., and at an early hour was
filed to oyertowing. Many persons were
there from a distance, even from Alexan-
dria. The tables were literally creaking
with all kinds Of good things. There were
two cakes containing rings. Mr.. c. B.
Moore got one Of the rings, and lady
| from Alexandra (name uuknown) got the
other. Mr.. J. B. Corey got the guess
cake, and presented it to Mr.. Kemp. The
6sh-pond had scarcely been opened before
it was surrounded and all the delicate lit
tie articles which it contained, fshed out.
The ice cream, oysters, &C., were all dis
posed of before supper. The supper table
was filled four or Eve times and an album
dance Of nice large cakes remained, which
were sold at auction, ranging from IS cts,
to $3.50 apiece. Mrs. Julia Tubbs, on
behalf of the ladies', presented The. pastor
with an appropriate study gown, rs a
token of their regard for him and his
labors. He was somewhat embarrassed by
the ''surprise." but responded by a short
and appropriate speech. We are sorry
that we cannot give you the presentation
and the reply. The receipts of the evening
after paying all expenses were in cash
$3.50, land presents worth about $50,
making in all $40. ....,. -.
The several committees deserve to have
their MANS published, but all did 80 nobly
| that We know not where to begin or end,
hence We mention no names. The occasion
was one Of interest to all present and
would have done honor to any Eastern city,
and We hardly know which it complimented
most, Pastor or people. We understand
that the society intends to build church
there early this spring, unless they decide
to build al academy and use the chapel Of
that for the present as church. As an
individual we recommend the latter. T..
