Bro. Boyd was called TO Tyner City.
TO the funeral services of Mrs Gregg and
Mrs. Bradley, On last Sabbath afternoon,
and the bad weather and long ride, pre-
vented his return for evening service
This accounts for the disappointment. and
there being no service, and will make up
for the Pastors disappointment the previ-
Gus Sabbath He preached a good SER
mon for the church, TO those who had
brave and loving hearts to face the ele-
ments in getting there. We think it
strange that leading persons in the
church, could not devise some form of wor
ship, or follow that provided for them in
the Discipline, if Pastor Is absent.
Many present said mentally, why not I?
and some have said audibly to the editor,
why not? The preacher is not the
church"
The Methodist church are growing
into good system of finance, in this
place. We printed for them some con-
tributlon envelopes, the ofjciary furnish
ing us the form, and we we are inclined
to the opinion that if the church works
up to the plan they have received from
their representatives, they can pay for the
support of the gosple with as much ease as
some of them do for tobacco, and others
for luxuries. Christians can get along with
out, to the glory of God, and the good of
his cause. As one of his Stewards let us
say, try the plan thoroughly, and then
there will be plenty of time to condemn
it, if it don't work we'll. 1. did last Sun
day.
There was considerable moving done
last week. The editor of the REPUBLI-
CAN and family with household goods,
moved to he dwelling formerly occupied
by Hiram Work and more recently by his
father. Mr.. II. Work, Sem, moved into
the dwelling which he has recently been
enlarging and putting IN good repair.
Our stove pipe was the most accOmmo-
dating one We ever saw. 1t was fit all
around-not an inch too short-nor too
long. 1t was the pipe belonging to the
cooking stove, We refer to.
We are now learning to get into our
house by the back gate.
The most miserably poor and lame
old horse we remember to have seen, was
standing on three legs in front of the posi-
Office building, in this city, last Monday
about noon. One OF its hind feet was
bleeding and terribly swollen, and the leg
to the knee was twice its natural size. II
was hitched to a one horse wagon. The
wagon attained baskets and other things
besides an old woman who was probably
as lame as the horse.
We notice two vacant store rooms or
Michigan street, and one on Laporte
The former occasioned by the retirement
of Reeves & Harris from business. The
second by Mrs Derrer. going into closer
winter quarters. The third, splendid
room is, and has been waiting an occu
pant for some time. We trust 1t will
soon be filed with some legitimate bust
ness
