Last Sunday week, the Baptist society in this place celebrated the One hundred and twenty-third anniversary of the organza- ton of their church. The house was tastc- fully decorated; evergreens were hung in festoons on the walls; on the table in front of the pulpit stood a fountain of flowers, and cross and crown were suspended a. bove. A psalm was read from the bible that was used in the church over One hun dred years ago. The Rev. Dr. Holmes preached from part of the sixth verse of the One hundred and twelfth psalm: 'The righteous shall be in everlasting re- membrance." He related many things con corning the history of the chulch, when or ganized the 9th of November, 1751, only nine members formed the society. ...... Last Saturday morning the mercury stood II degrees above zero, our coldest weather SC far. The Key. M. Lent is holding pro tracted meetings at North East Center.....

JUDGE LEwIs,s REssINBER.

He said he thought Colonel Young was
the nag with the green glasses on. If not,why
couldn't he give them some views as TO what
be would do? Colonel Young was on the lift
now and on the election day he would die
and be buried. He had commented on the
funding bill, which was denounced by the
Democrats. Gis friend said the debt at the
close Of the war was 500, 1000 10000 and none
had been paid. This was untrue;
the debt now was S2l3O0,0Q0, Of which
$500 100000 had been paid, He next gave bio
i.rap apbicaI sketch OF a South Carolina poltti-
clan. lie did not speak OF South Carolina and
% do with Tennessee. For every
Republican sent 10 the penitentiary
there would be Democrat, perhaps
two, as his companion. Memphis has
been going down under Democratic rule, and
the people were thinking of going away.
There were not over 10000 people in Memphis
but who thought Of where they could go.
While he was presenting measures looking TO
the cOuntryis good, his opponent was only
thinking Of going TO congress. He had gotten
three government agents TO come here to set
tie claims. He had done his utmost for every
constituent. He came to them with his re-
cord. He got an appropriation OF $4,000 for 8
customhouse, when no other man in congress
could get an appropriation. The work
would De commenced as soon a.
a site was obtained. He got the appropria
ton without limitation, and IL necessary In
the opinion of the architect S5,000,0G0 would bC
spent. That was his record, and yet his com
petitOr had nothing to say except 70 go u
congress. He hoped the people would go L
the polls and vote as their sense Of duty die
tated.
The meeting then adjourned.
