tage of the fine weather to get their
crops in. Unless we are mistaken
there is little corn or cotton in the
ground at this date in comparison
with other years. Wheat looks
thin, but the late grazing may ae-
count for this. This crop for two
seasons has been so good that we
hardly dare to expect a third good
wheat year. We may err, but there
does not seem TO be as much energy
and go ahead among the farmers
as there was last spring. The rea-
500 is not hard to find, because now
they have corn and then they saw
1t was a case of root pig or die.
HIGHLAND PREsBYTERr.
That much bechurched and be-
preached town, old Lynnville, be
sides two protracted meetings 90
ing on without intermission in its
two colored churches for about five
years, and several resident colored
ministers. and two resident white
ones, and three "white churches"
and dozen monthly services. is
now having Richland C. P. Presby-
terry This body convened Friday
2lst. There are some sixty mem
bers present, pretty equally divided
between lay and clerical. In the
list of Presbyters we notice names
widely known and honored for
piety and ability, such as those of
DR.. Malloy of Spring Hill and Mr..
Chapman, of Columbia, who are
commissioners, with Elders Charles
Buford and W. D. Orr to the Cen
eral Assembly at Bowling Green; of
DIR. Blake of Nashville, agent for
Board of Publication; of 1. F. and
W. c. Walker, in labors so album
dant; of Mr.. Alexander, R. H. Gil
liam and Mr.. Stockhard, all of
Wayne, and there doing good work;
of Rev. D. J. Dickerson, stated
clerk; of Rev. Mr.. Thomson of
Georgia, now at McKane's in Mau
ry; of Mr.. Carothers who breaches
in Pulaski; OF Mr.. Brown of Lewis
burg, who preached first-rate ser
mon for us at the depot on Sunday
morning, and of whom it can be
said to know him is to love him;
and of others who in poverty and
much afflict;on are doing noble
work for their Master.
The Cumberland building not be-
ing finished the meetings of Pres
bytery were conducted in the Chris
tan church. These brethren and the
Methodists We'd with each other in
extending hospitality to the visi-
tors and showing interest in the
proceedings. On Sunday morning
more than 1000 persons were on
the ground. All were invited to re-
main and partake of refreshments
and did so, yet not a half of the
abundance provided was eaten.
Dr. Blake preached in the Cumber
land church and Mr.. Jones in the
Christian. A collection amounting
to $3.50 was taken up in the two
congregations to lift the debt from
the building. Mr.. Jones is an
Englishman by birth, and is preach
ing at Columbia. He is idolized by
his people, is building up q large
Church, and is rapidly rising to the
FIRST rank Of pulpit orators in the
State.
We understand that Presbytery
intends to have an Evangelist, or
home Missionary, to hunt up the
waste places, and presume that Mr..
Chapman OF Columbia will be Sc
lected. True we have not heard
his name mentioned in the connec-
ton, but even an outsider can see
that he is the man, if he is to be
had. One Rev. D. D. said he would
go but for having an incumbrance,
by which it was understood he
meant his wife. We could not but
wish that Mrs. D. D. could hear
how her husband designated her
when he got away from home.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed before adjournment:
RESOLVED, unanimously, That the
thanks of Richland Pres bytery are due,
and they are hereby rendered to the
members of the different Churches in
Lynnville, for the use of their respect
i've houses of worship; also to the citi-
Gems of the village and community for
the very kind and hospitable manner in
which we have been entertained during
our stay among them; and that we viii
as members of Presbytery cherish these
tokens OF Christian regard.
ResOlUed, That copy of these resolu-
tons be furnished the Pulaski Citizen
and Columbia Herald and Mail for pub

PERSONAL.
Mrs. Marion Childress spent some
days in town last week. The mer-
chants have got their new goods,
which are cheap and beautiful.
Miss Lindsay, who has been IN town
some weeks, we understand, antici
pates permanent residence. Altho'
she is bald headed, toothless and
dumb, she is much admired by her
friends. Rev. Woodbury. Mitchell,
of Zion, holds a sacramento meet
ing at the depot, beginning on Sat
urday morning. I. L. n.
