Second Annual Aecttay e} the MOBILES County

Second Annual Aeettitg e5 the MOBILES County
|. - Society,": 'SSS' - =
The Second Annual Meeting of the
Mobiles County. Bible Society was held
at Miller Hall, on Sunday evening last.
The Methodist choir opened the meet.
ing with appropriate music, when Rev.
j. W. Lewis offered prayer and Rev.
S. M. Smith read a selection of Scrip
ture. The Treasurer's report was read
showing some forty dollars worth of
Bibles sold during the year and num-
Der donated. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:
President Il. H. Crever. Vice
President-Daniel Rohrer. Secretary
A. P. Miller. Treasurer-Peter Thomp-
son. Executive Committee N. Sa-
ter, r. F. Humiston, Geo. o. Moore
and r. D. Barber.
Rev. B. II. Crever, then addressed
the meeting in some opening remarks,
referring to the organization of a No.
bles County Bible Society at 50 early a
period of our history and to it's subse-
quent work, as another of the eviden-
ces Of the Christian character of the
community. He then introduced the
Rev. John Hinton, District Superinten-
tende1t for this State.
Mr.. Hinton gave an interesting &C.
count of the work which the American
Bible Society had accomplished since
1904, and dwelt especially upon the
work i'll Minnesota during the past
year. There had been, for some reason,
an unusual demand for the Bible in
this State, and what was most remark
able one-half the Bibles issued during
the past year were in the Swedish and
Danish language. The demand for Ri
bles in these languages in this State
alone had exhausted the supply which
the Society had in hand.
Rev. G. G. Foote was next introduced
and referred to the meeting as one as
sembled On Christian, instead of sec.
tartan grounds. AS illustrating the
the Christians love for the Bible, he
related the anecdote of an infidel's wife,
who was forbidden to read the Bible by
her husband. After her death Bible
was found hidden away in her bosom.
A. p. Miller spoke next upon what
God had done to give the Bible to man,
taking the ground that writing was
sent into the world to record the Bible
that printing was sent to multiply cop.
les and make every mans pocket an ark
containing the law, and that the tele
graph and the steam engine were sent
for the purpose of circulating the Bi
ble. AS remarkable facts, he stated
that the first Look written was the Pen
tateuch, the first book printed was Gut
enberg's Latin Bible, and the first mes
sage sent over the telegraph was pass
age from the Bible.
A collection for the Bible cause was
taken up, which with the collection TIA
ken in the morning at the Union Con
gregational church, amounted to So
The choir then sang ''From Greenland'<
Icy Mountains" and the Society adj
journed to meet again on the secont
Sunday III September, 1875.

EDITOR ADVANCED. Our quiet lit
tie town begins to put OH the appear
ance of business. From the crops that
are left we can get faint idea of what
we may surely expect when one full
harvest is gathered. Perhaps we are
the exception, but on either side we
hear of good yields of wheat. The
''Ocheeda Farm" in the north east of
our town, us yet, takes the lead. Mr..
John Faragaher, three miles south east,
has an average Of eighteen bushels per
acre. Robert Bird gets forty eight of
oats.
Wheat is being brought in from all
directions, quite quantity from Iowa,
and the yield is reported good. Vege-

melons and tomatoes, III abundance

CORNING, Sept. 2, 1874.
EDITOR ADVANCE: We took 4 has
ty survey of the famous city Of Council
Bluffs, a little look at the gigantic
bridge that spans the muddy Missouri
river and an eager gaze ut the city OH
the other side, interesting to us as the
place where one we loved gave himself
to the service of his country, at the be-
ginning Of the cruel war, and in less
than two years was laid in a soldiers
grave. Of course, the march of civil
cation had changed the appearance of
the town, but the natural features of
the place remain as the dear boy de-
scribed them in his letters, and associa-
ted in our minds with the picturesque
scenery about Omaha, was the noble
patriotic spirit that led him as he said,
to place himself at the service of and
if necessary give his life for the coun-
try he loved more than life. After
very hasty and unsatisfactory look
about us we betook ourselves again to
the cars, and were soon again on the
broad prairie, gliding over the Burling-
ton & Missouri road through country
rich in crops Of wheat now secured,
and corn beginning to ripen, passing
nice prosperous little towns, amusing
ourselves with the study of our COM
panions, admiring the luscious fruits
of the far east and the distant west
peaches from Michigan and pears from
California filling the car with sweet
odors and our memories with the scenes
of the fading past and reminding lis
that we belong to u people despoiled by
the grasshoppers-who must be salts
fed with the accessories of life for a
while.
A lady on the train had been up the
Sioux City & St. Paul road to visit
some friends who were sorely stricken,
and was taking home with her little
nephew to keep till ''better times, -
she had also some mementoes, speci-
mems more remarkable to most of our
fellow-travelers than 20 ourselves, some
heads of oats and wheat, from which
the "critters'' had eaten the grains,
some half devoured corn salks, and
branches of young trees from which
the leaves and the bark were complete
ly eaten. AT. about ten O'Clock we ar
rived at this place, where we have
friends among whom we propose to
spend few days. Corning is the coun-
ty seat Of Adams county, Iowa, remov:
ed some. four years since from Quincy,
about five miles distant. It is built in
a beautiful oasis on the prairie, fine
forest, covering a beautifully undula-
ting tract. The business part of town
is down on the more level portion, but
most of the residences are scattered
about on the knobs among the fine for
est trees. Some are very handsome
houses and the majority above medioc-
rity. There are already five or six
churches and everything indicates
prosperity and rapid growth, sustained
by; a fine farming country. A very in
telligent wide awake class of people,
amor whom it would be pleasant to
dwell, make up the society, and I have
