DEAR SENTINEL: We have just closed q
meeting of eight days at Enon Baptist church,
which VIC call a very good meeting. Our Pas
tor, Rev. Frank McClOnahan was assisted by
Revs. D. w. Hiott, w. B. Singleton and J..
II. Borougho. We feel that our church has
been greatly revived and built up in the faith
and in grace, and that the Lord has abund-
antly blessed us as o church The preach,
ing was all very good; it was all about Christ
and Him crucifed. Tho same old, old story,
but It's new to us yet. All the sermons were
full of Christ and His love; that good news
chccred the sinners they yielded and came to
Christ. On the last day Of the meeting, our
pastor buried in baptism nine happy con,
verts, in the presence of large and orderly
congregation. after which lie preached us an
excellent sermon, and this good meeting

Medical Students.

Medical students are, like almost all of the
young men of our country at this time, need-
ing money and requiring assistance. Every
dollar saved is to them great advantage,
and gives them the opportunity of investing
these sums in books and instruments. We
understand that the Trustees and Faculty Of
tho Louisville Medical College (Kentuoky)
have created number Of Beneficiary Scholar
ships in behalf of those needing such aid; but
all Of the facts in regard to the matter can be
obtained by addressing a letter to the Louis
vile Medical College. Louisville, Ky.
We will also state Cor the benefit of any
worthy young man in Pickcns County, suffi-
ciently educated to study medicine, that wo
have the privilege of granting them letter
of recommendation, which will secure them q
Beneficiary Scholarship in the college, which
is worth eighty dollars. If there are any
who desire to avail themselves of this o2por-
tnnity, they win please communicate with us.

Belknap Discharged.

Delknap has beon discharged by tho United
States Senate Thirty FIVE Senators voted
guilty and twenty five not guilty, for the
want of jurisdiction. The evidence against
him was overwhelming, and lie may thank
his friend, the President, for promptly accept
ing his resignation, which alone saved him
from being forever disqualified to hold office.
For his escape the country can blame Grant
But Belknap is a self confessed criminal and
has already been condemned by the Ameri-
can people. The criminal proceedings which
had been begun against him in the courts will
probably be quashed, weared out or worn
out ON technicalities, and he will probably yet
go scot free.
