TOBACCO CUrrINc.-We have heard

TOBACCO CUTTINC.-We have heard
Of many farmers in our county who have
already commenced tobacco cutting.
1t is anticipated, moreover, that the
bulk of the crop will be cut and housed
by the middle Of September. This is
unusually early and indicates that av-
erage weights will scarcely be realized
from the present crop. Except in a
few localities, the tobacco product Of
our county the present year will be short
by at least \ fourth, both in pounds and
bulk.

 Rev. Wm. E. Bassett preached our centennial sermon, last Sabbath, and gave us very interesting history of the past which was new to most of his hearers. Commencing when tie church was formed. he recalled many things that transpired at that early period. was able to bring the history down to the present time, connect ing the old with the new by many inter- esting events. giving the number of min- isters, deacons, members, revivals, bap- tised children. etc. The church was or ganized in June, 1756, with eighteen members, holding meetings in the school and private houses for several years till small church was built. The present building was erected in 1920. The first pastor, Rev. Sylvanus Osborn, died May 7th, 1771, in the forty-fifth year of his age and the fourteenth of his ministry. The next and longest pastorate was the Rev. Peter Starr's, who died July 17th, 1928, aged 85, having been pastor here ffty-seven years. The services were open ed by the choir, singing "A Hundred Years to Come" accompanied by the or gan. Then followed prayer, and scrip ture lesson read from a small, very old Bible. supposed to be the one that Mr. Starr held in his hand while preaching, enclosing his sermon fitting the book in size. The church about the altar was handsomely decorated with flowers and evergreens; the altar window was draped in white. trimmed with evergreen, with the dates of 1756 and 1876 in each upper corner, and with central motto dropping in circular form for each: "He Hath Led Us." On the communion table was beautiful white cross on green dias, which wss afterwards placed on the slab covering the grave of the old pastor, Peter Starr. The sermon will be interesting reading hundred years to come and it is hoped it will be printed. Communion was administered in the afternoon. X.
