The market opened quiet, with prices
firm and steady; the rain and disagree
able weather had a tendency to check
operations; hence, transactions were
limited; holders were firm in their views
and asking full prices, while buyers were
active in making inquiries, though not
anxious to purchase, on account Of the
weather. Estimated sales for to-day,
1900 bales; sales yesterday we're 1900
bales, of which %spinners took 45O, export

Protracted Meeting.

The Rev. SIR. Boring of the M. E.
Church (South), on last Sabbath morning
delivered very able, eloquent and ex-
haustive address to his congregation on
the advisability of more application by
Christians in the work of reforming the
community in which they lived, and the
necessity of holding protracted revi-
val in our midst for the salvation of
souls. His argument was replete with
scriptural teaching, and his earnestness
sincere and impulsive. The exhorta.ion
caused tears to flow freely from the eyes
ward into the ways Of sin, and which
leads to the broad road Of ruin. There
can be no possible doubt that at this
time revival is sadly needed, and, we
know of no more opportune time than
the present for the commencement of
the good work In fact it would be a
good idea if all the churches consoli-
dated and act in unison, get the ablest
exhorters obtainable, and the result will
be the lettering of the social condition

benefit to be received individually We
think that by SO consolidating it will
rebound in the mutual improvement of
all concerned. Let all the churches talk
the matter over, Individually and col
lectively, and we doubt not the good
achieved will be amply remunerative.
At night, the Rev. Jas. A. Lyons, of
Messy Creek, delivered an exceedingly
instructive and, forcible sermon on the
Redemption. With much energy and
force he lucidly elaborated the status of
the sinner without hope, and the sinner.
saved, which received many silent
''amen" from responsive hearts. His
delivery was good, and the effect bene-
fetal. At the close of the sermon,
mourners were requested to come for
ward to the altar, and two peuitents re-
sponded. On Monday, services were
held at II o'clock An, o'clock PM,
and at Pm. The meetings are to be
continued each evening throughout the
week, and much good is expected to be
done

q I take my quill in hand to write you
few lines, to let you know we are well
in our hamlst aGept bad colds, and
hope when tIEegy ines come to hand
YOU may be enjoy LIZ liz Same blessing. "
Since the election, our people are per-
mitted to take as much rest and sleep as
Industrious. energetic farmers require.
Amid their slumbers, they dream Of
battle-felds no more. y
The school at this place, for the last
three months, has been exceedingly
good. The average daily attendance has
been forty-two, showing that our people
are wide awake to their own interests.
Cold weather has come at last, but to
our little barefoot boys it is not welcome.
On the nth and 18th the Teachers In
stitute met here, but owing to the in
elemency of the weather, and the phys
zeal debility of some. 1t was not largely
attended. The exercises were very
interesting. All present seemed to en-
joy themselves hugely. The good peo-
pie here fully understand one character
istic belonging to the pedagogue. by
preparing plenty of nice eatables, for
which we are no wise wanting in appre-
citation. We hope to be called back on
similar occasions by our worthy Super
intendent, and permitted to enjoy the
society of these good people, sure as We
are of their hospitalities, before our
clocks are silyered Ger by the frosts Of
many winters. FREzo.
