DEDICATION OF GREENWOOD METHODIST
CuURCH.-This church was dedicated on
Sunday morning last ut II O'Clock by Bishop
d. S. Doggett, d. D., assisted by Rev. j. b.
LaurenS, pastor In charge.
Notwithstanding the inclcmencv Of the
weather early in tue morning, the remainder
of the day was bright and beautiful. and
large crowd Of persons from the city, to.
aether with friends in the neighbOrhood, as.
Sembed about II O'Clock. Bishop Doggett
then conducted the dedicatory services,
preaching very eloquent and deeply iln-
preSsive sermon from the text, "And l,
John, saw these things and heard them.
And when had heard and seen, fell down
to worship before the feet of the angel which
showed me these things. Then, saith lie
unto me, See thou do it not, for | am thy
fclIow-seryant, and of thy brethren the
propbels, and of them which keep the say
iues of this book: Worship God.'- Rev.,
o2d chaptcr, Sth and Oh verses. Subject ::
{" Mistaken worship and true worship"
He closed by earnestly invoking the aid OF
the friends of the cause IN behalf OF the
house OF worship Just dedicated.
The history OF this church is not unnte-
resting. In 1872 three ladies and two gen
tlemen, having desire to do all the good
they could, determined to institute sun.
d.;y.schooI in the neighborhood now occu.
pied by the church, and it was first held in
| the woods during the summer. The ln-
crcasing interest made them resolve to build
| 4 substantial arbor, and in this they held
school for two years. The increase ot lnte.
rest shown By the additions TO the scho0l
| led them to seriously consider the pro-
priety of a church, and in 1874 they re-
solved to build, relying on the help OF
| the community.
The church is situated about seven miles
from Richmond, on the Brook turnpike, aHd
built on an acre Of land donated by Mr.
Joshua Taylor. The building was CON-
menccd about twelve months ago, starting
with subscription of twenty-seyen dollars
raised by young lady Of the congregation.
| The membership, though small, at once de-
termined 10 finish it, and by aid OF friends
| in the neighborhood and substantial help
| from the citizens Of this city were enabled
| TO complete it for dedication last Sunday
Rev. J. B. Laurens. pastor in charge OF Han
over circuit, has abored earnestly to make
| this station credit to the Church, and the
prospects are good for large membership
| and much good. The male members OF TINS
church deserve great credit for active LABOR
rendered in building the editice.
The Bishop made an earnest appear ioi
help to pay the Indebtedness OF the churcn
and the congregation raised in a lew MN
utes sl5O-more than enough to pay all the
debt. ,,,o,,,

Eiitors Dispatch: Knowing that you
take deep Interest in the business atfIirs of

l suggest IN idea which, if acted upon,
would, tank, be of considerable benefit to
large class of worthy ciL!zeus. AS re.
taller of groceries and provisions | am daily
called upon for c:eait for these articles by
persons whom know to be perfectly trust
worthy, but being out Of business, cannot
give any satisfactory answer TO the question,
{" When can you pay?' Many OF them are
intelligent mechanics, men willing and aux
ouS TO work, but cannot fad employment.
They state their situation, and cannot say
definitely when they can pay, and, Of course,
credit is denied TO them for the reason that
small dealers like myself have but u small
capital to operate upon, and cannot afford
thus to credit out their goods to an indetl
mite period. Now, to relieve this class of
enforced idlerS, and TO save their families
from suffering for the nccesslries of life,
ould it not be well if the employers of the
city would divide employment between the
ins and outs, thus giving all chance TO live

to publish the above, but nope that you will
think favorably Of the idea, and with your

Tue WEATHER AND THE BRlCEMAKERs.--
Probably TO none of the enterprises in our
city has the long-continued spell Of rainy
weather been more disastrous than to the
brckmakers. During the lorty-tWo days
ending on Saturday last there were but slX'
teen during which work could be done on
the yard. In consequence of this and the pre-
sent large demand for bricks the stock has
been run down very low, and unless the
brickmakers have good weather will before
long be exhausted. The increased demand
is due to several causes: First, the llnlnS m OF
the new reservoir will take between 2,OO0OoO
and 8 900, 900 bricks: secondly, the new or
dinance of the Council requiring each owner
OF property on graded street to pave the
walk way is consuming e good many ana
lastly, the new houses which are being erect
ed. OF which there are many, are taking quite
a number.
