twenty years and is now making his farewell
visit to the churches Of this state His address

Mr.. Walker is native Of Greensboro, in this
state. lie has resided for thirty years On the
Western coast Of Africa in connection with the
Gaboon mission His dclineations Of the life and
character of the pagan race among whom he had
labored were very graphic and vivid. Mr. Walker
evidently enjoyed his Christian work and his bar

terpfse, plant the goou seeu III tue waste anu III

KINGsvILLR.

Eds. Ta.-A chain hook, embedded in
timber taken from near the heart of but
ternut log some two feet III diameter. was
shown me the other day by Mr.. David
Vanslyke, of n Kingsville. The hook had
probably been broken in the woods, in an
early day, had, probably, hung upon the
then staddle, and in due time was eneircled
in the grip of the growing tree. While
chopping, Mr.. Henry MAdams struck the
metal, and at first supposed it was hard
knot, but the gap in his ak caused an in
vestigation, with the above result.
Quite delegation left this morning for
Geneva, to be present at the decoration ex-
ercises. The probability now is, that not
single flower will be contributed to recall
the deeds of our deceased heroes and de-
Tenders who have resting place with us.
A sad and unpleasant confession.
While our reputed musical town has in
use most of the different manufactures of
pianos and organs, we feel inclined to
think that the New Era Organ, sold by
Mss Agnes Clark, is about the thing
Those in use about here are highly spoken
of. Like the Singer Sewing Machine, it is
regarded by many as at the head Of the
heap.
Last Sabbath, Rev. Edw. Dib5el occu-
pied the Presbyterian desk, His discourse
was refreshing one.
The Sabbath school of this place was
entertained by the reading of letter from
Mrs. D. 1. Hickok, at Brooklyn, N. "
She had promised her young friends such
remembrance, and another of the kind is
expected.
Corn is being planted, and oats are
spreading, with the grass and wheat fields,

promise a compensation for the disap-
pOintmeats Of last year. May the full fru-

Last Tuesday the A. L. A. went to Ge-
nevs to participate in the ceremonies Of
Decoration Day. The battery left the ar
mOry at $50 a. m. They were met at the
limits OF Geneva by the Geneva Gray's
Band, and were escorted to the flag staff,
at TIE Intersection OF Main and Centre
streets, where the guns were parked. The
company were then escorted TO the han Of
the Grand Army of the Republic, where
the boys were treated to q fine dinner by
the 9. A. r. EncRmpment. They joined
the procession at O'Clock, and proceeded
to the cemetery, where four shots were

their way to their armory, presenting a
fine appearance in their new uniforms, and
attracting large crowd of spectators.
The battery wish to express their thanks
